Boosting the Big Bone
 Poland China Breed

More and more from every section . of the country is coming the testimony of the value of pure bred hogs and of i the utter follow of the farmer who attempts to raise scrubs or grade hogs. Much has been said about the pure | bred sire but we have overlooked an-
 other great fact that stares us in the
 face and goes hand in hand with the 1 pure bred sire. That is the pure bred SOW.
 Too much cannot be said or done I to encourage the farmer to have both. | No better interest can be realized on an investment than that on pure bred hogs. And why? Beacuse no other farm animal reproduces itself so quick Fly and finds market so readily. In cannot be overestimated If she is the kind that produces a large husky litter of long high-backed big boned 'pigs, her value can never be told. The offspring of pure bred SOW will make larger hogs than from a grade or scrub SOW for the simple reason that she came from strain that some master mind has spent years to de- velop into a large hog
 This cannot be said of a grade SOW for no one is trying to improve them to that degree for breeding purposes.
 The offspring of pure bred SOW, bred to pure bred sire will produce a hog on merit, hog that if given chance of decent living will be the handspring of independence for the future farmer and live stock man.
 l very often hear a farmer say that Igrades are good enough for him. Well, possibly so, but does he want to travel in the same old rut that our Rorefathers have worn out? And does le want his children to do the same?
 Why not accept in this age of ad- i anced farming practice, what men i've given a life time study and labor . Id proved to be a conclusive fact?
 ny not give your children chance better and a more useful life than
 V have had? Yes, give your boy or

COMMON LAB0RERS
 IN GREAT DEMAND
Cotton Pickers, Rice Farm and Road Construction Workers Sought -
 by Local Agency.

Little Rock, Oct. 5.-There is no shortage of jobs for Arkafisa unem- ployed who are willing to accept r@m- mon labor, but objection to the VI v and to the location of the work q l many to refuse employment, accor" sS to w. A. Slater, manager of the T. ! ! Rock Employment Bureau MT. .s CT yesterday said that his bureau, wi.n it's two branches at Memphis and at Texarkana, could place, at a conserva- tive estimate, 5000 common laborers l in Arkansas.
 MT. Slater said that the average wage paid for common labor on jobs listed with him is $25O a day and the average price asked for board is $6 per week Many of the employ CTS who apply to him for workers, MT. Slater said, offer to pay the railroad fare of the workers with the under- standing that it will be deducted from wages.
 There is, however, MT. Slater said, little employment open to skilled or clerical workers Many of this class he said, apply for work An average of about 300 persons apply daily at the office, MT. Slater said, only about 15 or 20 of whom are placed. Some do not want to leave the city, while others maintain that the wages are insufficient
 Classes of labor for which there is great demand at present, according to MT. Slater, are cotton pickers and rice plantation workers and road con- struction workers. Cotton pickers are paid by the amount picked, the plantation workers $1.50 day and board, and the road construction workers $2.50 a day.
 R. R. Tower, owner of large rice plantation near Dewitt, applied to the bureau yesterday for five negro la borers at $15O a day and board, but was unable to obtain single man. He deposited money to pay railroad fares of five men to his plantation with in- structions for the bureau to fill his order as soon as possible.
 Would Employ 1000 Men.
 RE- Oliver, president of the R. B. Oliver Construction Company, yester- day said that he can give employment to 1000 men this week, and an addi- tional 1000 next week, but expressed doubt that he would be able to find the men.
 "The trouble is," Mr. Oliver said, "that the common labOrers who were paid the wages of experts during the war have not yet got away from war pay scales. It is my conviction that Arkansas can furnish plenty of work for it's unemployed. But the major ity don't want the kind of work available There are two classes of the unemployed-the common, ordi- nary bum, who doesn't want work; and the unskilled laborer, who wants high wages as a carpenter plumber or other artisan, regardless of the fact that he is not qualified, but simply be- cause he may have been employed at such work during the war when the need was desperate"
 Mr. Oliver said that he had sent 365 men to eastern Arkansas last week on a road construction job, and yesterday only 25 of them remained.
 "The others got few good meals" he said, "a comfortable camp bed for night or two and then drift ed on in search of skilled craftsmen's pay for common labor"

 There is possibly no greater handi-
 cap that the Big Bone Poland China lhog has to overcome than the charge l that she is non-prolific But, it is a
 great misnomer, and it is very grati- flying, however, that it is only a mere l charge and not a fact.
 It is only cry from the dark ages of Poland China history when the in- breeding which produced the medium
 chunky, quick-fattening hot bloods
 almost brought disaster to the Polnad China Breed. Yes, my friends those days have passed and with them the short blocky SOW.
 And by hard struggle of the mast CT minds they have now in the place of the short blocky SOW, the long, high backed, deep bodied broody matron that farrows large filters and able to take good care of them. It is very
 common thing now days to hear of ie'i SC liICCi OA pl6o. l Icdu III Ol6 Ol my farm papers this week where MT.
 Joseph Deleye, of Emmett, Kansas,
 has Big Bone Poland China SOW that brought him 76 pigs in five filters. In lone of these filters she had 20 pigs \ Who said the Big Bone Poland China sows were not prolific?
 ! We must create local interest in our hogs. There may be one or two men in the United States who can success fully conduct the pure bred hog busi- ness without local support, who do not find it necessary to create local inter- est that is about all there are, how ever, who can declare themselves in- dependent of their own community.
 Almost every mothers son in the hog business will find it to his inter- est to interest his locality in his herd '
 Now is the time to join the associa- tion and get in the pure bred hog bus I mess and stay with it and you wi come out winner.

TELLS OF WORLDS NEEDS.
s.Vyhat the World Needs Is Religion
Saws the Rev. clifton Gray. !.

"Neither the industrial court law
nor any other legislation for social
welfare can reach the heart OF the
vsorld's troubIesseor quiet its turmoil
afid unrest" declared the Rev. Clifton
Merritt Gray. in his sermon Sunday
morning at the First Unitarian
eWhat the world needs today is re-
1ision." said the Rev. Mr. Gray. Not
a relicion of empty ceremonies and
aniiouated creeds, having the form OF
e0dliness but lacking the power
thereof, but a religion of enthusiasm,
and a passion for humanity reli-
gion that pours upon this torn
bruised and divided world the chem
istry Of that transforming love that
stoops to share the burden and the
misery of the world; such a religion
as that of Harold Begbie's Twice
Born Men, that proves the worst de-
PRAYED of London's slums may be re-
deemed by the touch of love.
There is in such a religion" the
minister continued. the power that
ia face life as it is, to meet each day
with gladness for its opportunity of
service to feel the dignity and the
worth Of human nature, and to know
that no man is hopeless. and that
Gods purpose is not complete so long
as there is one unredeemed among
His children.
SJesus pointed the way to this re-
ligion," said the Rev. Mr.. Gray, "the
way of peace and power and joy, the
way of right living; and he came to
redeem the world thru the divine
chemistry of Transforming love"
