ing for Victory.
There is a striking similarity in the
slogan of the Victory Loan, "Finish
the Job" and the purpose of the Cen
tenary. The aim of the Centenary is
to Finish the Job" which the
wan has begun. 1t seeks to save the
world that has been made free by
the sacrificial offering of millions of
lives. 1t seeks to make a safe democ-
racy for all backward nations by lay
ing the necessary foundations in edu-
cation and moral and spiritual ideals.
1t seeks to guarantee the worlds
peace by the only sure guarantee
possible, the spread of Christ's gospel
of brotherhood and good will and SER
vice. The Centenary seeks to Finish
the Job" which Jesus Christ began
nineteen hundred years ago when he
sent his deciples out into the world to
disciple all nations.
Buy Victory bonds to "Finish the
Job" for the government. Give them
to the Centenary to "Finish the Job"
for God. The Centenary is Gods
Victory Loan-to bring in the Victory
of his kingdom of righteousness and
peace IN earth.

The Pork Barrel.

The phrase pork barrel" originated
from an old saying of the people In
the farm districts that they had no
need to worry on account of a severe
winter, as they had their barrels filled
with sailed pork or other meats. From
this to the sharing Of political plums
is but q step. When appropriations
for improvements are made by con-
gress or legislatures, such as post Of
fee improvements, and river and har-
Dor work, each representative strives
to secure a part Of the appropriation
for his district, so that his constitu-
ents may share In the financial distri-
button In the form Of contracts or
labor.

Muskrat Stops Train.

The marshes around the Boston &
Maine railroad yards in Boston are
full of muskrats. Charley Brown, a
yard brakeman, has been realizing over
500 season since the war by shoot
ing rats on his spare time and selling
the fur, which now commands a high
price.
Brown has been known to shoot a
muskrat from the top Of a moving
freight car with q rifle.
A short time ago a muskrat tied up
the interlocking switch system at sig
nal tower c. The big rat crawled into
the switchpoints to eat out the grease
used to Intricate the switches just as
the lever man in the tower tried to
close the switch for Il fast express pas
senger train.
The rat had wedged in so close the
switch wouldn't close and the plant
was tied up. The mechanic found the
rat wedged into the points and crushed
into mass of fur and flesh.

MODEL ON AMERICAN CLUBS
France Considering Adoption of Our
Methods of Teaching Farming to
Boys and Girls.

France is considering the adoption
of Uncle Sans methods of teaching
better farming and home making to
boys and girls. Representatives from
the French high commission, lately In
this country, made point of studying
carefully the methods of the federal
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural colleges in conduct
ing boys and girls clubs. Much of
the information thus collected has
been widely reprinted by the French
press, accompanied by editorial COM
ment expressing the view that, the
man or woman power OF France hav-
ing been depleted or dlsorganized by
war service, France for some time TO
come will be dependent in large part
upon its younger population for its
food supply and suggesting the forma'
ton in France of a nationwide system
of boys and girls clubs patterned OF
those in America. 1t is expected that
these clubs will grow staple products
garden produce, wool, farm grair
and forage crops. poultry and farm
animals on farms not devastated, th'
very soil of which must first of all b'
put in condition. They will stimulate
production by the young people o
France through organized contests no
only in farming but in home enter
