Ell DIT RIAL.
DON'T SELL SMALL PIGS.

1T is a mistake for any farmer, un-
fess forced by circumstances, to
sell small pigs or hogs not ready Tor
market. 1t has been noted with re-
gret that of the recent several car
loads of hogs shipped out of SUM
ter county, considerable proportion
was small pigs. And there have been
. number of cars of feeders shipped
also. The selling of these animals
is big mistake, for we have corn
and other feeds in more or less
abundance which cannot be sold
rrofitably as such and ON which the
most can be realized only 10y market
ing it in the form of meat on the
hoof. This has long been known in
the middle west, and it is just as true
here, although apparently less well
recognized
The Moultrie Observed comments
on the same topic intelIigently as
follows:
1t is waste to market the small
hogs now. A great many pigs, I'M
der one hundred pounds, are being
sold on the feet for much less than
their actual value. The owners of
these light hogs should understand
ti1as there is no demand for such hogs:
TIC fresh pork trade is overrun and
small hogs cannot be made into cured
meats by the packers To force them
on the market is not only to sacrifice
them, but they demoralize the market
and keep prizes lower than they
would be if only the hogs of packer
size were marketed
Feed the pigs sixty or ninety days
and then sell them.
Here are some reasons for it.
list. They will gain enough in
weight to pay for the feed, and will
show profit besides in the pounds
they gain.
End. The number four hogs Of to-
day, if fed until late in March or
early in April, will be number ones,
and they will sell at the top price,
whereas they now sell at the bottom
price.
"Srd. The chances are good for
an increase in price. Certainly it
may be expected that southern mar
kets will be higher just as soon as
the rush Of mid-winter selling is
over.
"4th. There is an abundance Of
cheap food in the country, and there
is very poor cash market for it.
There is no better way to market it
chan through the pigs"

THE voLCANoEs or HAWAII

The entire group of Hawaiian Is
lands, twenty in unmber extending
in chain for hundreds Of miles, is
CT volcanic origin though some of the
islets and reefs are but the wave
battered remnants of volcanoes
whose fires died out long ago. The
Island of Hawaii has been formed
by the coalescence of many recently
formed volcanoes. The walls of the
crater of the active volcano of
Kilauea, on the island, are broken
down on one side. giving access to
its lake of fire" This volcano has
not always been gentle in its ways
but it is now so well behaved that
the visitor can stand safety on the
edge of its fierl pit and, If the vol
cano is active, watch the molten
rock boiling and spouting 100 to 800
feet below. Sometimes many foun-
tains throws up jets OF glowing sui
phurous lava and lingt up with
CHASTITY glare the frowning crags
that rim the crater. Then, suddenly
and with deafening detonations,
the Jets rush together and convert
the lake into burning, seething,
roaring mass. making scene to
which few others in the world are
comparable. Mauna Kea. both nearly
$4,000 feet above the sea, are among
the highest Island mountains in the
world. On the other islands OF the
Hawaiian group there are, volcanic
mountains scarcely less interesting.
The crater of Haleakala, in the sum-
nit of East Maui, 10000 feet above
sea level, is one ofe the largest ex-
tinct craters in the world and is as
we'll preserved as IL its fires had
been extinguished but a few years
instead of perhaps several hundred
years ago.
The active volcanoes of Hawaii
give wonderful demonstration of
the processes by which all these is
land mountains have been built up
from the great depths of the ocean.
Since the days of Capt. Cook, geolo-
gists and others who are interested
in the problems of volcanoes have
visited the Hawaiian Islands and
written about them. Near the base
of these mountains of igneous rock
lie fields of sugar interest. They are
supplied with water from mountain
streams and from wells and drain
age tunnels that tap underground
supplies.

St. Thomas Natives
Buy From American
Mail Order Houses
By Annotated Press

Charlotte Amalia, st. Thomas, v. l.,
September 23.-st. Thomians have
been bitten by the mail-order bug.
Pretty catalogues from American
mail-order houses are to be seen
everywhere. and postal records in
dictate that goods amounting to 81 900
a day are delivered in st. Thomas
alone by parcel post on a C. o. D.
basis.
Merchants are indignant that their
stores should be thus sighted, but
give as a reason for their inability to
compete in price with the mail-order
houses the fact that they are still
loaded up with high-price goods de-
livered to them by American manu-
facturers and exporters as soon as
shipping facilities were available af-
ter the war.
Those who buy by mail say they
are able to make considerable saw
ing by buying in the United States,
and they are becoming more and
more fixed in the habit of ordering
from catalogues. Mail buying
has become such a habit that 1t is
said to be frequent occurrence for
clerks working in the stores to buy
by mail. rather than to purchase
whore they are employed
One merchant said 1t was not only
the fact that saving might be made,
but that mail-order buyers liked to
receive pleasantly worded acknowl-
edgments of their orders, and other
letters from the mail-order houses

All It's diversity and with all Its
Inner antagonisms, the Arab move
ntent in southwestern Asia has at
least so much unity that the great

During the first year of tho war
the Turkish government did every
thing possible by Its repressive tao
tics to give the Arabs unity of

Turkish army, George Francois Pl-

fled from the city. One Is merciful
