IF HE CAME HCl1

If he came now!
NV heart would be like once quiet
street,
Hung with gay lanterns on o fete night,
wild
With singing, And my heart would be
child
Sleepily waking to kiss, then hnglng
Sleep from it, springing
With all too ready feet,
Out of the night, into the world again,
And finding that its toys were all once
There where it left them, waiting on the
floor.
To be played with again. My heart would
be
An opened book filled full with witchery.
Filled, too, with pain,
An opened book that had been left too
long
Upon dusty shelf 1t would be song
In a young mouth. And it would be buds
too
Opening under the moon, and shivering at
the dew,
But liking it. And 1t would be a flame,
Red in the night used to be glad when
he came,
But not so very glad-because thought
That I would always have him. Then
war caught
Him UP from me, and bore him out
To be where danger is; and killed my
doubt,
NV hesitation and half fears. All. now
would run to welcome hinl, if he came
now!

keeping.

Hogs Contract Colds and
Pneum0nia-Cauti0n Urged

Trouble often develops among hogs
at this season of the year in the form
of cold and pneumonia, according TO-
DIR. Robert Graham, professor of ami
NAL pathology at the University OF
Illinois. Doctor Graham gives warn
ing that when pigs of all ages and
sizes are allowed to pile up at night
in a warm shed some are likely to
come out steaming in the morning and
that the cold winds and frosty atmos-;
phere will have a bad effect on them.
He recommends the following precau-
tions: Hog houses and feeding places,
runways, fences and sheds, should be
thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with
per cent water solution of COM
pound of cresol (U. S. P.) cor it's rec
ognized equivalent. Quicklime should
be scattered freely about the lots, at
ter they have been raked clean OF
cobs and manure. Wallows should be
drained and fenced off, all small holes
filled and large fields where the infec-
ton prevails should be cultivated.

Revolutionary Strongho!ds on Manhat'
tan Island Hardly Desirable Places
Of Residence, One Would Think.

At it's northern tip, yet hardly the
tip, either, for it is surely mile be-
low, the highest part of Manhattan
rises 270 feet above tidewater. Here.
In the early days Of the revolution, the
Americans had established Fort George.
This stronghold was connected by roads
with two other forts, one called Fort
Tyron In the center Of the island, and
the other Fort Washington, On the
banks of the Hudson. Fort George
was built ON the high rocks near the
East river, and it is from this vantage
point that one looks across through a
break in the hills to the Hudson, to the
blue-black of the Palisades on the Op-
posite Jersey shore scowling in dismal
silhouette before the majesty Of the
sunsets that appear to be going on ev-
cry evening behind their backs, as it
were.
These three forts were captured by
the British in 1776 and Fort George
itself was occupied by the British and
Hessians until 1883 under the name of
Camp Laurel Hill. Recently, during q
period of excavating which was TAX
ing place so that New York could build
even more apartment houses, many in
teresting relics Of those earlier resi-
dents were nearthed-muskets, coat
buttons, cooking utensils and even the
huts themselves were discovered, one
of which was almost intact. Surely
shelter must have been an important
consideration when wintering on that
windy spot.

Explorer Says North Pole
Weather Not as Pictured

Another cherished illusion is dis
PEELED and relegated to the junk heap
of vivid misconceptions that have sud-
denly faded. Explorer Vilhjalmur Stef-
ansson, who has just returned from a
five years cruise in the regions around
the North pole, tells us that the wealth
er up there is by no means the frigid
terror we have pictured in our minds.
1t is much cooler in central Siberia
than at Herschel island. Even near the
geographical pole the climate never
gets really bad, although the mercury
occasionally runs down to 60 below
zero. Indeed, it was so mild and COM
patible with physical comfort that he
usually disrobed on the porch of his
igloo and passed the evening in his
underwear, resting at night in his
sleeping bag. His underwear, by the
way, was of reindeer's skin with the
fur inside. He has explored about
100000 square miles amid all kinds of
weather, and claims to have suffered
no hardships, until his return to civil
ization.-Christian Herald.

Why Wisconsin Is Known as
Badger" State and Origin
of "Sucker" for Illinois

Wisconsin is called the Badger
state, not, as most people seem to
think, because the badger formerly
abounded there, for in the past Wis
cOnSin was never a favorite home of
this little quadruped, writes a CORE
Spondent.
The familiar nickname originated
rather with the early settlement of
southwestern Wisconsin, whose lead
mines attracted the first considerable
migration to Wisconsin. The hardy
lead miners who pushed into the por-
ton of the northwestern wilderness
intent on digging fortunes from the
earth with their picks were composed
in the main of two groups. One, made
up of men from southern Illinois and
further south, went down the Mis-
sissippi to their homes every win
Dor for another season; the other, COM
posed of miners from the Eastern
states, could not thus easily go home,
and so they "burrowed in" for the
winter in rude shacks or huts, which
frequently were built after the fash
ion of dugouts.
The men who went south for the
winter and returned in the spring were
given the name of suckers" from the
similarity of this practice with
that of the well-known fish of the
Mississippi, Rock and other Western
streams.
The men who wintered in the lead
mines were called badgers" They
were the first permanent settlers in
the lead mines north of the Wiscon-
sin line, and thus the name became
associated with the state.
Thus did the people of Wisconsin
and Illinois gain the popular nick
names of Badger" and Sucker" by
which they have ever since been
known.

HINTS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

Small eggs, dirty eggs, old eggs on
eggs which have been kept at high
temperature for any length of time are
the kinds not to select for incubation,
according to circular prepared by
the poultry husbandry department OF
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Not all eggs from the best breeding
stock are good for Matching purposes
Often the eggs are small, uneven in
shape or poor in shell texture. Small
eggs should never be incubated, as
they do not hatch well, and pullets
from them often lay understood eggs.
The small egg is not wanted upon the
market. The two ounce egg is the
standard in weight.
Only clean eggs should be selected
for incubation. Dirty or washed eggs
never hatch as well as do those which
have never been soiled.
Since the egg begins to incubate
when it reaches a temperature of 68
degrees it should be kept below that
point. From IS to 65 degrees is the
range of temperature permissible for
eggs that are being kept for Matching.
Eggs should not be kept any longer
than is absolutely necessary. If they
are turned frequently and are kept at
the correct temperature they may be
kept for two weeks before being
placed in the incubator, but it is hot
advisable to try to keep them for that
long a time.

Men. Women and Children
Helped Bring Big Victory

Just what name posterity will give
TO the war nobody of the immediate
present can say; but if it is fairly de-
scriptive it will perhaps somehow in
clude or suggest the part taken by
the women, who, in IL months, for
one thing, have turned out something
over 100000 knitted articles. The
women, in fact, have knit themselves
into history in way that the future
historian will have to take into con-
sideration. Literally it las been war
of men, women and children against
an impending tyranny.

Power Lights Up Cold Arctic.

The nights are six, months long up
IN Croker land but Donald B. Mac
MILAN and his party of explorers ON
their latest expedition never had to
be afraid to go home in the dark
at least they were certain to have
plenty Of light once they got there.
Instead Of sitting in the murky gloom
of blubber lamp, they boosted cleo
trio lights.
Over the front door of their lodge
was a headlight that threw it's beams
ten miles over the ice.
This state of things was produced by
the foresight that prompted Mr.. Mac
MILAN to take with him a marine gen.
Grating set.
The plant was installed and run by
Ensign Jerome Lee Allen of the United
States navy, who was the radio opera
tor of the expedition.

What to Feed the Child.

For a. normal baby, with normal
mother, the first few months or year
there is nothing better to do than
feed it with natures food, mothers
milk. Orange juice and water for re-
freshment will cool the swollen gums
and give great relief when teething.
If the child has taken prune juice,
unsweetened, and orange juice occa-
sionally the digestive tract will be in
good working order. Then in the Sec
Ond year scraped apple or other fruits
like pears and peaches if well ripened,
may be safely given in very small
quantities. A drink of cool water
should be given frequently. How many
worrying babies, who cannot tell what
they want would be made comfortable
by frequent drinks of pure cool water.
All changes in a child's diet should
be made very carefully and when any
new food is introduced give it in small
quantities, teaspoOnful OF, two being
sufficient.
Baked potato is a food particularly
adapted for young child's food 80
little milk with grain or
salt. then cream and butter may be
added. After a child has become ac-
customed to potato a teaspoonful OF
finely mashed peas may be given, as
we'll as carrot, spinach and any vege-
table not too woody.
Given to the child in small quanti-
ties, we'll mashed and seasoned, he
will learn to like all kinds of vege-
tables; in fact he will never need to
learn, for the good habit will be
formed early in life.
A child's digestion is so much more
rapid than an adults that they need
to be fed oftener and in small guam
titles.
A child fifteen months old will need
some such diet as to food and time
as the following: At seven or eight
a breakfast cereal, bread or toast ana
a cupful of milk at noon an egg, po-
tato, one other vegetable, bread ana
fruit, either juice or scraped fruit.
Five or six. milk and rice or bread,
and at ten a cupful or bottle OF MIX
The cereals should be varied so that
they may become accustomed to like
a variety.
The chief thing to remember in
cooking cereals for children is to cook
them long enough. Serve with good
top milk and no sugar. In early youth
the child gets all the sugar he needs
from the fruit he eats. One good rea-
son for having little people eat alone
is that foods that must be denied
them are not put temptingly before
them.

Memorial Planned to Dogs

women, and it is said, by the New

memorial to the dogs whose lives were
sacrificed in experimental work for the
army. 1t is stated that the chemical
warfare division of the war depart
ment used on an average of 80 dogs a

devices. 1t was suggested that fund
be raised for the erection of dogs

night shortly before 10 o'clock de-
clared Philip H. Stoll, of Kingstree,

alleged that fraudulent. illegal and ir-

drews precinct. was dismissed by the
committee The purged votes were
not deducted from either candidate
and the result, as tabulated and de-
clared, gave Stoll $500 votes and
Sherwood 5,274 votes.
If the purged votes. said the re-
port of the committee tabulating the
results, were taken from the total of
