No animal is more economical, as
there isn't a particle OF waste about
swine. From skin to marrow he is
valuable. Uncle Sam wants fats,
hides and fertilizers, and no animal
produces the three as proIificaIly a.
the pig Consequently, the Misses
Campbell are urging their friends to
adopt pig; at least one. Already
they have found comfortable homes
for nearly a thousand. These abodes
are mostly in the suburbs or at homes
where there is roomy back yard.
For their friends who live in an
apartment they also offer an idea.
Visit the nearest farm and buy your
pig. When it has reached maturity,
divide the profit with the farmer who
has kept it meanwhile The farmer
will be well paid for his trouble and
you will make a handsome profit on
your investment and food products
will be increased just that much.
How to Farm by Mail.
Every little bit helps, you know.
II you can't go to a farm yourself,
write to the Misses Campbell. They
will buy the pig for you and make
the arrangement with the farmer.
Then all you will have to do will be
to cash in your investment. But the
Campbell sisters urge you to keep the
pig at home, if you have the space.
Really. pig is a friendly little fel-
low and you will become very much
attached to him, they contend.
The Misses Campbell are spending
the summer with their mother. Mrs.
w. H H Miller. at her home in Mt.
Pleasant street, but have gone to
New York to spend about ten days.
They have gone up to see all of the
smart vaudeville shows and to in
spect all of the new music on the
market to find new material for the
musical number which they will ap-
pear in on Keith's circuit this season,
beginning September Is, in Boston.
Society has contributed literally to
the theater. and the Misses Campbell
are probably the most recent recruits
to the stage from Washington soci-
ETY.. From the time Of their debut
they have been conspicuous figures in
the social life here, particularly In
diplomatic circles.
