Spy With Pigeons.
An American at Liege, in writing of
the German advance told this Incl
dent:
CAS- I returned to the city, walking
along the River Meuse, l saw one who.
oblivious of war and it's alarms, was
dangling his legs over the water and
peacefully fishing. The battle in the
air, which he must have witnessed,
had not moved him. The certainty that
the Germans were only a few miles
away had not concerned him. He
smoked his pipe and placidly cast his
line. 1t was soothing to overstrained
nerves to see that chap, but 1t was
only few hours later that learned a
German spy had been arrested as he
posed as a fisherman, with creel full
of carrier pigeons"
Another story reads:
I'm the cowl, habit and tonsure that
mark the monk a young man told his
beads aboard the train bound for Ant
werp. And a woman, hardly more
than a girl, kept her eyes fastened on
the man of prayers. She studied on
the devotion with which his fingers
slipped from decade TO decade of the
long, well-worn rosary that hung from
the cincture about his waist. But al
though his lips appeared to move in
humble duplication, the woman saw
that he had failed to kiss the cross
The lapse was significant.

Of the alleged aScetic. In an instant
two guards had seized the man and
rushed him down the train corridor
The woman examined the small wicker

A news dispatch briefly summarized
such a find thus:
"A German trawler was captured by
British warship near the Orkney
! islands to the north of Scotland. She
is believed to have been engaged In

on board"
Reference has already been made to

Carrier pigeons tell headquarters OF
the progress of battle. Here is
typical report when the French army
fought along the Aisne:
'It Immediately appeared that the
destruction of the German defense
had been accomplished with as much
success as could be hoped for in SO
difficult a country. By 80 a. m. we
learned by carrier pigeon and other
means that the Chateau de la Motto on
the French left near Allemant had
been carried, and that at the center
Malmaison Fort was taken. At 8 40
Allemant village had been occupied,
the prisoners numbered thousand,
and the French assault troops were al
vancing across the central plateau to-
ward Vaudesson and Mont Parnasse

they were at the north Of Hill 173, the
further spur of Malmaison plateau,
and in quarry go yards west OF the
fort. BY 2:45 p. m. the villages OF
Chavignon and Vaudesson, with sew
eral neighboring quarries lying on the
northern edge of the Aisne hills, had
been occupied Chavignon was the

Ship Hogs To Market
Via Motor Vehicle

Shipping hogs to market via motor
trucks not only saves delivery time,
but the saving in weight more than
pays all the costs of operating the
truck.
Before hogs are shipped to the
stockyards they have to be fed to
reach certain weight. In other
words, they are fattened before they
are ready for market, which entails
the use of expensive foods, such as
corn, etc.
In the past it has been found that
hogs thus fatted fed on the farm were
below weight after being driven to
the stockyards, thereby necessitating
feeding them up again before ready
for the market
A certain stock raiser recently fig
ured that it cost him nearly double
to have to feed hog up to the re-
quired weight after arriving at the
stockyards. Recently he purchased a
truck and found that his hogs ar
rived at the stockyards in the same
condition and with the same weight
as when they left the farm, thus saw
ing more than the cost of the entire
operation of the truck, including
drivers wages, depreciation, wear and
tear on the tires, cost of gasoline, oil.

Congressman King Swope
Talks About The 9Th District

The following statement is
given out by Representative
King Swope in regard to this
section of the state in which he
pays tribute to the late James B
McCreary, Harvey Helm and
Others who have made records
for themselves that will never be
forgotten.
Representative King Swope
says:
"My district, the Eighth Con-
gressional District of Kentucky,
is one of the most typically
American districts in the United
States, composed of people noted
for their intelligence, patriotism,
industry and hospitality. In this
district are Kentucky College
for Women-the largest female
college in Kentucky, Centre COL
lege, which has turned out more
statesmen than any other college
in the South and has produced
more vice presidents of the
United States than any other COL
lege in the nation, and Berea Col
lege, which was declared by
President Wilson to be the great
est institution of it's kind in our
country.
st is the district that was at
one time represented by the dis
tinguished and lamented late Jas.
B. McCreary, who was twice
governor of Kentucky and served
in the United States Senate. 1t
is the home district of the dis
tinguished and late William O.
Bradley, who was the first Re-
publican governor Kentucky ever
had and who was later elected
to the United States Senate and
died while member of that
body. And it was represented
for the last twelve years by the
lamented Harvey Helm.

stood for everything that is
American and opposed everything
that was un-American. 1t is in
the heart of the famous Blue.

throughout the world for its fine
lands, fine cattle and thoro-bred
horses. The people are engaged

suits and have scarcely felt the
imprint of foreign immigration.
