Razor Back Hog
Passing Quickly
Let's Stuff One!

Gainesville, Florida, July S-"Some-
body ought to have a genuine E'lori-
da razor back mounted before they
become eXtincc. They're hard to find
now"
Thus does no less an authority than
the Bureau of Markets and Crop Es-
Inmates Of the United States Depart
ment of agriculture here officially
confirm the suspicion that the porker
around which so many yarns have
been spun will soon be candidate
for the museum.
The Florida farmer is responsible
for the passing of pack of bones
and bristles chock full OF mischief.
The razor back, or native hog. usually
could work his body into any place
his nose could enter. He was reared
on farm but was permitted to roam
the woods until he became half
wild and only photograph could
portray the damage ne could do once
he wormcd his way into plot Of
cultivated ground. AS an article of
food he was worth little.
Florida farmers for several years
iii'S DSSii SAothlIS thelT places with
pure bred swine. and now have rea CHI
ed the stage where discussion Of a
pigs pedigree is regarded as of ex-
treme Importance. Cooperative sales
OF fine pigs. boys and girls pig clubs
organized and operated under the su-
pervision of country agricultural
agents. and numerous sectional or
CARNATIONS of hog breeders sounded
the death knell of the razor back.
There is every indication that the
razor-back soon will he extinct. Flor
ldians have said his backbone formed
an edge sharp enough to cut a fence
rail and many tourists believed the
old yarn that the hundreds of thou
sands of pine trees on turpentino
farms In the state, with the bark
chlpped off on two sides to n height Of
several feet. were damaged by the
razor-backs sharpening themselves
preparatory to cutting another fence

cHARrINc FLOOR OF OCEAN

1t would almost seem that the
time is approaching when timid
person will hesitate to think thoughts
he would not have the world know
and il he has opinions. will find it
difficult to keep them to himself,
what with all the devices being per-
fected and adjusted to wave lengths
and sensitive to the slightest inf1u-
ence.
During the war, apparatus was
made to detect the approach of a
craft either on or under the water
and now it is said the navy has per-
fected a radio sounding device that
will register the depths of the ocean.
BY means Of it the time required for
sound to pass from the ship to the
bed Of the ocean and return is regis
tered and from this an accurate chart
of the oceans bed may be made. In
deed it is believed possible by means
OF it for navigators to determine their
positions at sea and heaving the lead
will be lost art.

Two Kinds of Bonus Bill

NA'ACChAS IL 4Co4lS I<dSlt.t
Senator Williams has introduced an
amendment to the bonus bill provid-
ing that any former soldier whose in
come is $4,000 a year or more shall
not receive a share in the money to
be given under the proposed law. 1t
will be interesting to note the fate of
t his amendment. 1t is the first eff
fort that has been made in the SEN
ate to make a distinction between
veterans who need bonus and those
who do not need it,
The country as a whole wants the
government fully to discharge its du-
ty toward the injured soldiers. A
measure designed to relieve other vet
Grams actually in need would COM
mand wide support. Limiting the
benefits to veterans whose annual in
comes fall below $4,000 would be a
step in this direction. It would mark
the difference between a bonus de-
signed to aid needy veterans and an
indscriminate measure drawn to Sc
cure votes for Office seekers.

The Joys Of Lower Nine"

What do like about sleeping
cars? Oh. everything. The SCOT
and the horrible pillows, and the slab
by blankets; the suffocating heat
pouring up through plush crannies
t. meet the spatter of cold, cindery
air from a dirty window screen.
There is luxury Of discomfort in
settling-in that makes you wildly
alive to the real merits of sleeping
cars. The pulsing of the training
beneath you 'relaNes every tension:
the noise makes a dull, blurry chrys
alis about the berth; the raised win
dow-curtains show the spread Of the
armament above the world in shad-
ow: the trains motion is timed to the
wheeling OF the intimate stars. You
drop to sleep conscious as nowhere
else Of turning with the axle of the
world.-(Agnes Louise Dean. in The
North American Review.)

A recent novelty for city children
is traffic games" the object of which
is to teach them to avoid accidents in
crowded streets. And the latest
freak" water sport is water basket
ball. invented by James H. Crowley,
supervisor of Boston Fairgrounds
1t has come under our observation in
some rural communities and at sum-
mer resorts that children don't care
for the new tangled" school play

attached. American children like to
make their own little mud pies and
invent their own games with thanks

prove that they are not in need of in

He Got the Money

The young man had had no expert
ence whatever in collecting bills, but
he was desperately in need of job
and was willing to tackle almost any
thing. The merchant to whom he
had applied for work hadn't much
faith in his ability. and more to get
rid Of him than anything else gave
him an old account against a
man who had the reputation of ow-
ing everybody and paying nothing till
he had to.
IF YOU will collect this" he said to
the young man, II will give you a
regular job
To the merchants great astonish-
ment, the young man returned inside
OF half an hour with the money.
How in the world did YOU do it -
he gasped.

o. S. Rice, supervisor of school Ii
braries or Madison, Wis, cmphasiz-
es the importance of training children
to read the newspapers intelligently
and with discrimination. He says
that pupils often spend too much
time on such subjects as algebra
which they will never use afterwards
and that some time should be found
for newspaper reading as part of
the curriculum. AS education is
chiefly training the mind to recognize
the truth. to know where to look for
it and how to prove it, especial care
should be given to the discrimination
part Of his suggestion.
