GROUND HOG
SAW SHADOW
Now Some Spells of Bad Weather
Is Expected by Those Who
Believe in the G.. II.

The ground hog went back. SO
the wintry blasts will now blow for
20 days or more The sun sent an
ominous shadow to the westward of
the little weather Investigator and
that shadow means bareback of
winter. Shadows may mean wet
spell in the coming months but most
everybody now is thinking about that
dry spell that will set in July /. The
ground hog having his abode under
the ground slipped back in way
that indicated that he has something
stimulating down there in his cellar
cite.
No one knows what the ground hog
does when he runs back at the first
CLINT Of sunshine, but he made the
dash home in such a way as to arouse
the suspicion that he forgot some
thing essential like kiss for Mrs.
G.. II. or peep at the furnace to see
that il had not gone out The natur-
alists insist that il is snoozing ard
not boozing that the ground hog likes
and so he goes back because he hates
to get up in the morning.
Well. We Won't Complain.
If the rough weather does follow
in the next few weeks no one will
have much cause to complain, for
winter has been very lenient so far.
A little bit Of snow and slcet will
Just help to make the warmth of in
doors seem worth the price the coal
man placed upon that luxury.

DIR. Buckley Talked About Hogs.
DR.. S. $. Buckley. representing the
/. ). Bureau Of Animal Industry
pointed out the relationship that
existed between the price Of corn
and the price of hogs, and referred
to the present and the probable fu-
turc world market for pork and pork
products.
He advised closer attention to the
details of the business in order to
secure better hogs and more cconomi-
cally produced pork.
He emphasized the needs of plenty
of protein feeds for the SOW while she
is engaged in the production of milk
for her offspring. Late weaving
about ten to twelve weeks. was sug-
gcsted as more profitable than early
weaving, when these pigs were to be
kept on the farm. to be fed out for
meat.
When pigs or any infant animals
We're wcancd and had to be fed on
foods not containing milk as part
of the ration it was absolutely neccs-
sary, according TO Dr Buckley's talk
that this food contain the growth
stimulating substances found in milk
known as "yitamincs' and these sub
stances he said were in the loavca

FUTURE OF THE WOUNDED

Floyd Gibbons, war correspondent who won
the CroiX de Guerre and lost an eye in carrying
dauntless journalism into the thick of the war,
tells little story of hospital happening that
has a poignant meaning in connection with
after-the-war.
In the ward in whichsGle lay recovering from
his wounds, overseas there was young Arlerl
can soldier who had lost a leg by the explosion
of German high power shell at Cantigny. The
shattered limb had been amputated above the
knee. With it had gone much Of the Young fel-
lows bright outlook on life. AS he lay there
helpless he could not prevent visioning himself
in all the rest of his years a semidependent
cripple at the best.
There came into the ward man who gradu-
ated from Georgetown university years ago. He
had figured in grdron triumphS OF the school
and was known in his day famous athlete
This man walked UP and down in front of the
wounded soldier, says Gibbons, then turned and
asked the youth if there anything wrong
with his walk The soldier, wondering, said no.
The visitor hoped on one foot and then on tie
other. He danced jig. Each performance was
followed by the same question. The perpexity
of the soldier grew.
Then the visitor stopped beside the bed and
with his walking stick raped smartly on his
thigh. The sound was of wood striking wood
The famous athlete had himself lost leg after
leaving the university and had for years worn
an artificial limb.
Gibbons said the tonic effect of the incident
on that wounded soldier was wonderful. It
banished his fears and gave him the courage that
all the cheerful companionship of well meaning
war workers had failed to bring.
The incident is an indication of how much
more thorough, how much more scientifically
and psychologically correct are methods of re-
habilitation today than after other wars of his
tory. The Georgetown university man was over
seas in the uniform Of the Knights of Columbus,
helping where he could, but his peculiar mission
was to display in hospitals what handicaps can
be successfully overcome.
There is wreckage enough coming out of the
war, Heaven knows, but it is cheering to know
that a great deal of the human wreckage can
be salvaged.
