BLOW-UP IF HUNS
 LIKE "PH[NQMs" IN sPR|NG BASEBALL
DO YOU RECALL HOW THEY SMASHED llEGE AND NAMUR
 ON WAY TO MARINE:
THEN THEY BEGAN TO s, P
Almost Every American Har,e Fad Player in Finals ard They Arc
 Returning.

This is the time in the year when the baseball phenomenon is widely heralded The training camps e the ball teams never fail to set the fans to talking Of some hitherto unknown youngster who is '"Ty CobS lI'' or another Christy Matthewson, or the possessor of speed that would shame Walter Johnson and all the other speed kings.
 The dope runs mighty good for a month maybe. Then something hap pens. The phenom begins to slip. Sometimes he finally makes a pretty good ball player, but more often he slides from bad to worse and finally slides out of the Big League and into the bushes" It always work in just about the same old way He was human after all He had his weak nses. maybe more than one, and the opposition found out about it, and then the end of the finish was in sight.
 It worked out that way with the Prussian gang and with the Hun out fit. Do you recall how they smashed Liege and Namur2 How they nook- eted the French at Mentmed5 and Longwy and came rolling on m st- ward over Belgium? How they e.- ,e on and on until it looked like the Nar was as good as over and that civiiiza. ton was facing Death, and nothing less?
 In the end they blew up. these mighty warriors, like bush league" phenom. They just quit, all in, smashed up. And the Kaiser has gone back to the hinterlands and that par ticular game. the most important ever played in the shadow of the worlds grandstand, is over and GeTmany lost. And everywhere in the world men are glad that it is over. And now comes the settlement. The bis league rules need revision. The last four years show that. The German gang need lot of penaliZing And the expenses for the whole series must now be met.
 Wherefore great international commission is held in Paris and the world sets to worl: to rebuild a lot of teams. There are grievances, greater than any the world has ever known, that must be adjusted And the Big League conference irons them out.
 The expenses? Our part of them must be met from the money of the people of the United States And that Is part of the why of the Victory Lib- erty Loan, the last that will be called. And every time we think of the way that game might have ended there is thrill of joy and thanksgiving in every American home. For every American home almost had a player in the finals Of the big game, and we are mighty glad that it is over and that our players are coming back again.

Bright Future for Hog-raising in South


 In Mississippi, the number of hogs has increased 56 per cent in four years. Seventeen coun- ties in southeast Alabama last year shipped 2,3o0 cars of hogs. Like stories of the great expan- sion in hog production come from all parts of the South, from Virginia to Texas. Shapely Du- rocs. Poland Chinas, Berkshires and Hampshires are replacing the razor-b backs. and good feed ing and care are coming to be recognized as essentialsin profit able hog production.
 All of this expansion and de- velepnent is nothing but natural for the fact is that the South is probably better suited to hog raising than any other part of the United States. Our mild climate and long growing season make possible the production of a wide variety of crops for hog feeding, and the cheapness with which these crops may be grown almost insures cheap pork production. During the next 10 years we expect to see in the South still greater expansion of the raising industry, for prices promise to remain good, and even when prices fall. the Southern hog grower who fol- lows the right methods can re main in the business and pros per longer than the man in the North possibly can
 For the farmer who will get a good breed, who will learn what the best and cheapest hog crops are and how to grow them in abundance, and who will work with his neighbors to sell in car lots, few lines of farming are more attractive than hcg.raising.

HOW THIS LOAN DIFFERS
Secretary Glass Compares Victory Issue With Preceding Liberty
 Bonds

Since the announcement by Carter Glass. Secretary of the Treasury, that the Victory Liberty Loan issue would consist of Victory Notes instead of Liberty Bonds, the question has been asked What is the difference be- tween the bonds and the notess"
 The answer is simple: There is vir- tually no difference. A Liberty Bond Is the Governments long-term promise to pay. The Victory Nots is the Gov ernment's short-term promise to pay. In other words, where bond may not mature for a period of ten or more years, the note must mature within period of five years at the most
 The security in both cases is the same-the entire resources. of the United States back them both
 As to the terms of the forthcoming Liberty Loan, no comparison may be made with the Liberty Bond issues because the announcement as to terms will not be made, according to Secretary Glass, until a few days before the campaign begins.
 The notes are more advantageous than the bonds, as can be seen by even the veriest tyro in finance, owing to the fact that their shorter term of maturity has tendency to stabilize their prices because purchasers are more apt to hold them.

WAR IS NOT YET WON
Eminent churchman Says American People Cannot Quit Now-Must
 Stay by Government.

As in all former loans and other government calls and activities, the church of the country is rallying her forces again to go out and meet the new call of the Victory Liberty Loan, and she is telling her people that this is her battle for finished peace.
 Fighting, we trust, is over, but the war has not yet been won,' is the challenge sent out by Rev. Dr. w. R. King. president of the St. Louis Church Federation and pastor of the First Presbyterian Church Much remains to be done. both across the sea and in the home land It takes money to demobilize an army and to make sure the victory is won in bat tie. Our sincerity in beginning this war will be shown by our spirit in the ending and in completing our vic tory Every American should, as a matter of duty, as an expression of thankfulness. do his. part toward this Victory Loan"
 Rev. Dr. David M. Skiliing, paste. of the Webster Groves Presbyterian Church, says he will use the force of his pulpit and church publication to win support of the loan.
 The work of destruction is over and the work of construction is just ahead, is the view of Rev. Dr. W. Fl. Geist- welt, pastor of the Third Baptist Church, which is one of the great con gregations of the Middle West.
 Surely we cannot stop hallway in this great husiness,' Dr. Geistweit says. Sometimes l think the great. est work is ahead of us. The leas. of our sacrifices is the Victory Lib erty Loan. We simply must and wils stand by the government in this new call"
