RUSSELL SAYS
COUNTRY STILL
IN need OF HOGS
Supply of Foreign Lands Very
Short, Some Falling Off
Fifty Per Cent in
Production.

Z. Z. Russell, formerly, OF this
city and now in charge OF bureau
for the increase OF hog production,
in speaking before the live stock
group at the congress, said.
i have been raised in tie west
almost all OF my life and | want to
say the prospects never looked bet
ter than they do at this time the
country over. At the beginning o.
the war the farmers were asked to
speed up the hog production and
they responded most beautifully.
I'VE have use now for a great
many hogs as the foreign countries
are very short OF hogs, in fact, they
have had a falling off of more than
so per cent and those people must
be fed. What is in the minds of the
farmer mostly now is how much net
profit can he realize from raising
hogs. But that is something that
no one can tell, and the department
at Washington will in the future
work along the lines Of educating
the farmer to raise a better grade of
hogs There is no farm so small but
what some hogs should be raised"
Need More Wool.
]. M. Wilson OF the Wool Growers.
association of Wyoming sai' in his
talk: Il was called to Washington
on the wool question at tine begin
ming of the war and | was told that
the government was not interested
in the wool problem as there was
plenty of wool in the country.
1--WE were assured that the price
would not be fixed on the raw prod
uct. But it was but a few days
until | was called back at the re-
quest of Mr.. Brookings of Wash
ington and he said we need millions
of tons of wool and the price was
fixed on the previous years prices,
although the price had advanced
from Is cents to IL cents per pound
over the price at which it was
fixed.
The price of the 'voo' was fixed
on different grades of wool and the
government was supposed to grade
the wool, but in many cases that
was not done and the producers suf-
fered severely. The United States
produce about one-third of all the
wool used in America-that is in
normal times-that does not include
government contracts. The United
States is the second wool produc-
ing country"

signed the Treaty of Peace between
the Allied and Associated Powers
and the Austrian republic at 1915

TREE TYPES PICKED
FOR EVERY HIGHWAY
City Forester Urges Planting of Uniform Species So That
Streets Will Rival Famous Thoroughfares

A tree planting program embrac-
ing every street in the city has been
evolved by L. G. Baltimore, city
forester. A type of tree best suited
to the locality has been picked and
householders are urged to plant
nothing but the tree selected for the
thoroughfare so that in time there
will be an uniformity which has
made famous some streets in other
cities.
In selecting trees for various
streets attention has been paid to the
type already existing to the nature
of the buildings and to suitability of
the surroundings.
Cooperation Needed
Close cooperation on the part OF
property owners is needed to make
the campaign a success. Mr.. Bal
timore points out that it is obvious
that if. every street is lined with
similar trees the result will be more
pleasing to the eye than If the old
haphazard method is followed.
Mr.. Baltimore is willing to give
advice to all tree planters as to
best methods for going about the
work. He is urging that tree be
planted In front OF every nome.

.HOODLUMS THROW
BOSTON INTO A
REIGN OF TERROR
Women Assaulted Openly il
Street While Mobs Rob
Stores

Boston, Sept. 10. - Lawless-
ness was rampant in Boston to-
day. Without adequate police
protection, private citizens were
left to their own resources to
protect their lives and property.
Attacks on women throughout
the night were frequent and atroc-
ious. In numerous parts of the city
there were villainous assaults. Ac-
cording to reports no woman was
safe i'll the little frequented districts
or where the streets were not bril-
liantly illuminated. Two women were
pursued by mob and found refuge
in the city hospital. The mob even
attempted to force its way into the
institution and was only stopped by
handful of officers who had ar
rived a moment before with a man
who had been shot.
Many Arc Hurt
The hoodlumism of the night was
not free of bloodshed. John A.
Scully, of Brookline, was shot in
the back of the head and danger
ously injured by a police sergeant
who was pursuing a mob that had
sacked several stores in the Back
Bay district. Thomas Innis, a street
car conductor, reported at hospital
with a bullet in the leg. He said
he was fired upon by some one in a
crowd. A janitor in the leather dis
trict was stabbed by a man whom
the janitor had discovered forcing
an entrance to the building. Another
man reached the hospital with a
bullet in his back.
Police on Strike
Since the police struck at 5.45
o'clock yesterday afternoon there
has been no organized police power
able to cope with the situation that
last night approached anarchy and
to-day appeared to grow more SER
lou as the inadequacy of the make
