TANNING MILL VERY USEFUL
Present High Price Of Grain Should
Bring Machine Into More Use
on Stormy Days.

In many parts OF the country there
has been a tendency t. let the tanning
mill rest and rust and suther dust and
to pay the mill or elevator for cleaning
the grain, paying the bill by accepting
a low price for the uncleaned wheat
or oats or barley. Besides. the chick
ems lose the screenings. The present
high price OF grain should bring many
a neglected tanning mill into profta-
BILE use. Incidentally, farmers VIII
have profitable work for stormy days,
and much cheap feed for chickens.

EASY TO WINTER FALL PIGS
Where Farmer Is Properly Equipped
He Can Raise Young Animals
Without Difficulty.

More fan pigs are being raised now

ago. This Is due largely to the fact
that grain is relatively high-priced.
When a man Is properly equipped for
taking care OF fall pigs through the
winter season he can raise them about
as cheaply as he can spring pigs and
he gets more out OF his SOW by breed.

from time to time the top layer may

tied into the hole thus made. This is
convenient for the suburban home

A DENOTED HERO,

The designation of Samuel Woodfill as
the most heroic American infantryman of
the war brings out something beyond the
remarkable story of Woodfilps exploit.
1t reveals the astonishing stupidity and
neglect of the American army system,
System, we say, because no particular
officers can be blamed for it. 1t is one of
the sins of our old enemy, Red Tape.
Woodfill was first lieutenant of the
Sixieth Infantry on October IL, 1918,
when he went out ahead of his first line
with two privateS to take German ma.
chine gun nest. Four of the enemy at
tackled him and he killed three at ten
yards and finished the fourth in hand to
hand fight. He rushed second nest,
sllenced the gun, shot several Germans
and took three prisoners. Attacking a
third machine gun position, he killed five
men with his rifle and, failing to finish
two resisting gunners with his revolver,
killed the with pick. Some adventure!
For his heroism Woodfll was promoted
toa captaincy and he received the Medal
of Honor and two French decorations.
But what happened to Woodfill after
h WARP Well, like most men, he went
back to his business. But in his case that
business was being a soldier. 1t was
being regular, for Woodfill had been in
the army dozen years before the war
After the armistice Woodfill re- enlisted
in the army. But the best rank that the
army would give Woodfill, who had put
up the greatest individual fight that is of
American record in the war and who had
captaincy, was that of sergt anti
Samuel " oodfill was good enough to be
a commissioned officer in the war. He
was great enough in the war to inspire
every soldier who heard of the exploit
which made Couer de Lion look like
molly coddle. But after the war he was
not good enough for a commission. Wood

hour, but he conldn't kill Red Tape. the

Associate Justice Dunn of the Maine
Supreme court, commenting on the nres-
ence of Miss Harriet Abbott of Frvehnro
in the jury box, said no man ever showed
more interest in the work than this iurv-
woman.
Usually" said the Justice, "when a
Jury is dismissed from a case, and has
several hours, or day before them. be-
fore they will becalled again, the iury-
man quit the court room at once and re-
main away until the last minute, But
Miss Abbott has not done this. She re-
manned In the court room and took a deep
interest in the proceedings"
Mass Abbott claims the distinction of
being the first woman to be drawn as a
traverse Juror to be sworn in, to listen to
the evidence ina SUIT, to retire to the Jury
room, discuss the case, and aid in deter
mining verdict.
MISS Abbott says that it never entered
her head to think of asking to be excused
from jury duty. u felt" she continued,
that it is part of the duties of citizen
ship to serve ON jury when drawn. and
all should be willing to perform that
duty"
