Ranks to Start Boys in the Pig
Raising Business.

For the purpose of encouraging the
raising of improved standard bred hogs
in Prince Georges county. and at the
same time giving tho youthful agrlcui-
turists of the county an opportunity TO
become interested and, perhaps, identi-
fed with the institutions, the First Ma
,ional Bank of Southern Maryland and
The First National Bank OF Hyattsvllie,
DR.. Charles A. Wells, president, have
offered to loan forty young men OF the
county SIS each, for period OF one
wear, without interest. for the purchase
of one pig of the Duroc or Chester
white breed.
Some time ago County Agent Z. II.
TAYLOR and the State Boys Grub agent,
HIM. McHenry. explained the details
of the scheme to the officials OF the
banks, and the directors agreed to loan
$1,000, without interest, for one year.
rhe idea is to form boys club tor the
purchase and raising of pure bred hogs.
The county agent IS to arrange tor the
purchase of the stock and have gen
eral supervision of the stock during the
year, The SIS is to be placed to the
credit of each boy, who purchases tn.
pig and uses the balance for buying
feed. The boys are placed on lheil
honor to repay the bank at the end Of
the year, no security being required Of
them.
The banks were willing to loan the
money, realizing that. in improving th'
live stock in the county, beneflL woule
result to every one, and thai the scheme
would bring the boys in business rela
tionship with the banks, As the result
of the interest manifested by the banks
il will be possible for forty bows to &c
a start with the raising of improved
hogs. County Agent Taylor will hav
charge of the organization OF the boy
in the lower S ections of the count
while DR.. Harry J. Patterson, directo
of the Maryland experiment station AM
vice president of the First Natlona
Bank of Hyattsville, will have charg
of the work in the upper section OF tn
county. II is announced that boys VIII

RED CROSS READY
TO LAUNCH FIGHT
AGAINST TYPHUS

Paris, Tuesday. May 27-(By the
Associated Press. )-The League of
Red Cross societies, in announcing
the spread of typhus in Poland,
says that although officially or
ganized only three weeks ago by
representatives of the Red Cross
societies of America, England.
France, Italy and Japan. It has had
under consideration methods for
dealing with the present typhus
epidemic as approved by the lead
ing scientific experts who met at
Cannes in April at the invitation
of the founders of the league. and
is prepared, therefore, to begin at
once.
Reports from Poland and from
other afflicted parts of eastern and
southern Europe picture the suf-
fering there as beyond compari-
son, with thousands dying for lack
of medical care and serious scar
city of medical necessaries.
The menace to the rest of the
world, says the league, lis fully
appreciated by the supreme eco
nomic council. which has reports
regarding the necessity of action
to prevent spread of the contagion
further west. Added to the men
ace of typhus is the danger of
cholera in Europe, and the Red
Cross league will be consulted
with regard to this"
SIR David Henderson. director
general of the league. said today:
IF the Red Cross leaeue is
charged with the serious RESPONSE
bility of protecting the public
health in this crisis, the people Of
the various nationalities must re-
alize that the fight is their own
and that the league is acting as
their instrument. The league will
be put to the severest test at the
very beginning of its existence"
