FEEDING HOGS BY WHOLESALE
On California Ranch Five thousand
Of the Animals Are Accommo-
dated at the Same Time.

A miniature railroad system consist
ing of five miles of standard gage
track, an 1S-ton steam locomotive, an
auxiliary and emergency gasoline loco
motive and a fleet Of 80 specially ar
ranged feeding cars is used on the
Diamond Bar ranch In California to
feed 5000 hogs. And 1t takes two men
less than one hour to do the job.
The mechanical equipment is the
most ingenious and unique Of any In
use.
Feeding yards are arranged so they
front on both sides Of the track. At
the front Of each yard is a large hog
trough. Directly over each trough 10
gate, hinged at the top. operated by
a trip release which causes the gate
to swing outward so that the porkers
may have access to their feed when
the dinner gong sounds.
A 1,500-gallon tank has been mount
ed on a fiat car and series of agita-
tor paddles, operated by small gaso-
line engine, have been installed inside
this huge vat. These paddles stir the
feed constantly and keep it mixed thor
oughly.
There is a cutoff delivery spout at
the bottom Of the tank which is so ar
ranged with hood that 1t can be ex-
tended directly over the rows of
troughs as the locomotive hauling the
feed car steams slowly down the feed
ing alley.
One attendant operates the cutoff
valve and fills each trough with feed,
while the other releases the gates aft

PICKFORD AT THE GRAND.

The announcement that Mary Pick ford will be seen at the Grand thea tre beginning tonight in The Love Light a gripping emotional drama, is one that is bound to prove of great interest to her thousands of admirers. Since the "World's Sweet heart announced her policy of avoid ing the conventional and hackneyed forms of photoplay, and try not only to advance herself but the motion picture industry as well, her produc- tons have aroused new and unusual interest among the fans.
 'The Love Light is the story of a little Italian girl in an Italian fish, Ing village among the cliffs border ing on the Mediterranean in North ern ltal y. How the little girl pre- sides over the family of her orphan ed brothers, how a great tragedy comes into her life, the final realiza- tion with it's accompanying sacrifice, makes not only an unusual story for the screen, but is a startling inno- vation for Mary Pickford herself.
 Frances Marion, the famous scen- ario writer, who is not only author of the story, but through Miss Pick lords insistence, is the director as well.
 Charles Kosher whose splendid pho- tography will be remembered in all Miss Pickford's recent productions, is said in this picture, to have devised new lighting and photographic effects.
 Stephen Gooson is responsible for the settings, many of which were re- produced from actual photographs taken by Miss Pickford and Miss Marion in Italy.

MAJOR SAM McCULLOUCH'S LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was a little stockade built for the protection of the settlers of West Virginia against the British and Indians during the War of the Revolution. It stood on the Ohio river near the present site of Wheel ing. In the summer of TIT when 1t was besieged by a strong force of say ages, Maj. Sam Mccullough, a noted border leader, left Fort Pitt at the head of 40 men to raise the siege.
 Coming in sight of the fort, McCul- lough's men made dash for the gates and passed through them in safety. al- though the Indians made a desperate effort to cut them off. Major McCul- tough held back to cover the retreat of his men until they were safely with in its walls and delayed so long that the redskins succeeded in getting be- tween him and the fort.
 Setting spurs to his horse, the ranger leader dashed for hill back of the fort. At its top he met another band of Indians and at the same time . third group approached him from another direction. The Indians were now on three sides of him. On the other was high precipice projecting over Wheeling creek, 300 feet below. The ranger was cornered.
 The Indians raised yell of triumph as they closed in on him. But when they saw Mccullough turn his horse toward the cliff, they stopped in amazement.
 Urging. his horse to a dead run, the scout dashed toward the precipice. At the brink of the chasm he drove home the spurs and as his mount flew into the air braced himself in the saddle The first leap was a clear drop of 50 feet, but both horse and rider were uninjured as they landed on the steep bank. Then slipping and sliding for H5O feet more, they came to the creek bottom.
 As the Indians rushed to the edge of the precipice expecting to see the crushed forms of horse and man far below, they were astonished at the sight of the major, still upright in the saddle, plunging into the creek and riding up the other side to safety. Within few hours he was back at Fort Pitt, organizing a larger expedi- ton to march to Fort Henry.
 Five years later as Major McCul- tough and his brother were riding along road near Van Metres fort, unsuspecting danger, they rode direct ty into an Indian ambush. This time McCullough's horsemanship could do him no good. A dozen Indian rife shots rang out and Sam Mccullough fell dead.

 riage in these later yeas.
 "No one denies that college women
 marry later in life than non-college
 women and consequently any statls-
 tics that are made up on the bass
 of women not more than live years
 out of college would give an entirely
 wrong impression. l Suspect that the same thing would be true of col llege men
 An article for the Smith Alumnae Quarterly and based on the quinquen- Inial catalogue of 1915 is offered as the latest available information re- garding the graduates of Smith Col lege and their children. This gave the average number of children for each of the total number of alumnae (5.962. with the class of 1915 omit red) as .56 The average of children for each marriage in the classes num- oered '79 to 'S5 was 2.15. This de. creased with later classes until the average for each marriage from 1879 up to 1915 was only 1.34. The com piler, Florence Homer Snow of the class of 1904, suggests that if the figures seem small. arguments for the defence include the facts that the youngest classes are the largest, and that many college women marry late, SO that the figures regarding them are not available until they have been many years out of college.

COLLFC|ANS GUILTY
 OF RACE SUICIDE INVESTIGATOR DECLARES Progeny of 1000 Graduates May Not Exceed 50 Century Hence, Says
 Health Service Official.
lRy the Associated Press)

|
 l Boston, Aug. 22.-Is race suicide ln- creasing among college graduates! ! | Maurice Kicker of the United States | public health service says that 1t IS, and quotes statistics. Some college presidents are inclined to doubt the conclusion drawn by the health service official and think his figures give a wrong impression. Others say that
 from lack of statistics of their own,
 they are not prepared to discuss the
 subject. They admit that Mir. Ricker's
 figures are startling and that they
 present a dsquietng view of the fu- 1 ture.
 Addressing the recent convention
 of the National Educational Associ- ation in Des Moines, Ia., Mr. Kicker was quoted as follows: "Investiga- ton by the federal public health ser vice over period of years indicates that the progeny of 1000 graduates from such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, VaSar and Smith will not exceed 50 in 100 years from now" He proceeded to compare the results of a similar canvass among illiterate foreigners and said it in- dicated that in like period the ori- ginal 1000 would be multiplied at least 100 times.
 Frederick L. Allen. secretary of the Harvard University Corporation pro- duced some figures of his own from the Harvard records. He said:
 "Mr. Ricker's assertion would seem at first reading to give the impress sion that college students have on the average less than one child apiece. This is not so among Harvard grad uates, at any rate. Among the classes 1981-90 at Harvard, the last 10 classes whose statistics are avail able and may be considered fairly complete, the average number of men per class was PAS, of whom 1S3 mar ried and had 327 children, an aver age of 2.06 children per married grad uate, or 1.55 children per capita for the whole class. The Yale figures for the same period are similar. The birthrate among Harvard graduates declined during the past half century. The decline, however, was less, sharp in the classes between 1870 and 1890 than it had been previously; and situation which is disquieting at best, seems thus to be showing a gradual tendency to right itself"
 No figures on the subject are avail able from Wellesley College but Pres ident Ellen S. Pendleton gives it as her impression that as far as the alum nae of Wellesley are concerned, the number of marriages and the num- Der of children per marriage have in- creased rather than decreased as the years have gone by. Some 20 or more years ago." said Miss Pendle. ton, "The Association of Collegiate Alumnae gathered quite. elaborate statistics comparing the health, num- Der of marriages and number of chil- dren per marriage of college women with similar statistics of their sis ters who did not go to college or thelr cousins nearest their age. These statistics showed that there was very slight differences between the two classes, but such difference as there was, was in favor of the col lege bred women, and, as I have said, while we have no recent figures, my impression is that there are more

A NEEDED HIGHWAY.

Editorial in Arkansas Gazette.)
 After the recent meeting of the District No. 10 board it was announc- ed that the commissioners were agreed that the building of an improved highway to the Faulkner county line is the work that demands first considera- tion. An improved highway is now under construction from Conway to the Pulaski county line. Various inn provement districts have built or are building number of other links along the Little Rock-Fort Smith route. The Pulaski county link assumes new im- portance, now that the suspension of service by the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad has turned traffic back to the highways.
 The Gazette is, of course, we'll aware that highway and bridge building mas put burdens on the taxpayers. But link in the Little Rock-Fort Smith highway in Pulaski county must rot be allowed to remain for long unim- proved. The Little Rock-Fort Smith highway will always be one of the most important trunk roads in the state. Its improvement for its whole length will bring benefits approaching those that are brought by a railroad.
