BOYS CLUB DAY IN
 WILMAR. APRII. 12


 Saturday, April 18th, has been set aside for delivering pigs to boys Wilmar. there will be plenty of pigs there for the boys to choose from and they will range in price from $l2.0O to $500 each. Every boy in Clear Creek, Saline and Crook townships is urged to be in Wilmar that day and buy a pig. Not only the boys are invited but the fathers of these boys should be present to help them select their pigs and sign the notes. It will be necessary for the boys father or guardian to sign the note for these pige. The note will be made payable in F months after date. Every boy who is interested in farming should get one of these fine pigs. The business men of Wilmar are very anxious for every boy to join the pig club and get pure bred pig. Later Tn the year, some time next fall they expect to have pig show in Will mar and every boy that gets pig Will have chance to win a hand- some cash prize. These pigs will be vaccinated against cholera.
 In next weeks issue of this paper we expect to announce the date for delivering pigs in Monticello. Every old club member who has pigs for sale Is invited to have his pigs in Wilmar April 12th. Of course, only the best pigs will be bought, but ln this manner we can help the old members to dispose of their pigs, and aid new members in getting started.

wHAT7 GIVE THEM A STONE?

(From the Nashville Banner.) We are the fellows who fought your
 fight, Doughboy and gob; We handled your job with true
 mans might, And we paid the price, o, we paid all
 right,
 Paid with our job. We boast: we fought as 6 soldier
 should, Nor cared to shirk; And we bought your peace with our
 own youths blood, If you sanction the thing, that we
 made good, Then give us work. The hand that handled the ship, the l gun,
 To free mankind The soul of the fellow who could not
 run, Shall it grovel, beggar, that faced the Hun, Nor feared, nor whined. Not flowers for husky chaps as we, Nor pat on the head; We ask for mans chance as may be, Will you give us medals and charity, Who ask for bread? We are the fellows who fought for
 you,
 Doughboy and gob; If we served as a soldier ought to do, Then play us men and reward us true, With a mans job. Would'st have us your honeyed words
 believe Here's what we ask: Help us to live as the worthy live, 'Tis all under God that we ask you to
 give,
 A plain mans task.
 Will Allen Dromgoole.

Probably no member of the eN- ecutive department of the present administration has been the object of as many bitter attacks both in and out of Congress as Secretary Baker. Every branch of the army and of the war department organization has come ia for criticism. In the early days there were tales of bad condI- tions in the camp and of neglect of the soldiers, later that the men sent across were not receiving their pay nor their mail from home. The air department was declared inefficient and was duly investigated. More lately we have listened to tale of horrors about the condition of the camp at Brest.
 But of the direct attacks on Mr. Baker himself, nothing yet charged has seemed more unreasonable and absurd than Major Fosters recent statement that MT. Baker aided and abetted the l. W. w., International socialists and humanitariars in their program of blocking the construc. tion of the army!
 It is to be regrettei that 9f.er the display of such spirit as the world has never before beheld in an army, and after victory which has never been matched in military his tory, the scandal mongers cannot re- frain from peddhng congregations and malicious falsehoods, matched by malcontents. So much of it has been proven untrue and traced down to l it's source that the time is at hand when the people will demand uneon- trovertible evidence before accepting the truth of any charge made in l connection with the conduct of army affairs. No serious charge of de- linquency on the part of our war authorities of high command has stood the test of scrutiny yet, and the country is on the whole pretty we'll satisfied with American ae- complishments in France. Against the words of the critics stand the deeds of the American army.

FRANKLIN'S THRIFTOGRAMs

All things are cheap to the saving. dear to the wasteful.
 If you would be wealthy. think of saving as we'll as getting.
 Beware of small expenses 3 small leak will sink grea, ship.
 A penny saved is two pence clear, A pin day is a groat a year
 Gain may be temporary and un- certain, but expense is constant and certain.
 Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessaries.
 It is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.
 He that murders pound destroys all that 1t might have produced, even scores of pounds.
 Moral. Buy War Savings and Thrift Stamps.

Whatever may be thought of the moral right of the Allies to make war on Bolshevism in Russia, there can be no question of their right to do so in Hungary. In having over- thrown the Government which sought the armistice and pledge it. self to observe it's terms, the people of Hungary have violated the terms of the armistice. Their submission, to Bolshevism is an act of repudia- tion that calls for firm and decided action on the part of the Allies.

The charge of Governor Allen of Kansas, that the farmers of the South, who are seeking to maintain the price of cotton by reduction of the cotton acreage, are trading on the misery of the world" is certain ly most unjust and was made with. out true understanding of the facts in the case. He is under the inn pression that cotton is still selling at 35c per pound and evidently does not know that there are still some millions of bales from last seasons crop that have not yet been disposed of

who never smiles loses more cases

How Leprosy Has pwIndIed.

Most of the leprosy Of the world
Is In Asia and Africa, though 1t Is
found in South and Central America,
in South Russia, Greece. Turkey and
Spain and on the shores OF the Caltic.
The disease still fingers In Norway
and Iceland, and Is not uncommon n
Australia and Hawaii. where 1t was
supposedly carried by the Chinese.
1t was anciently prevalent in all the
known world. and I'm the middle ages
was extensively diffused in Europe.
Every considerable city on the conti-
nent had its leper house, and in Eng
land at one time there were % re-
ligious hospitals for people thus afIlict-
ed. In the fifteenth century, however,
It underwent sudden and remark
able diminution and has now virtual
ly disappeared from civilized lands.
Most of the cases in this country are
of Norwegian origin and are found
In the northern tier of our western
states.
