THE PROFITABLE PIG

The profitable pig is one that
gains from date of narrowing until
marketed. During the sucking per-
iod the SOW should be given feed
that will stimulate the production
of milk. Give her corn or ground
barley as the main feed supplement-
ed by shorts or middlings, tankage
or fish meal, or Old-process lnseed
meal. The corn may be fed on the
ear or shelled. The other feeds may
be fed dry or in slop. The SOW should
have all the feed she will clean up
twice daily in addition to pasture.
It is very important that theepigs
make good gains during the sucking
period. If the hand-feeding method

KEEP THE WELL BABY WELL

When baby is well and happy IS
the time to prove the truth of the
old adage that an ounce of prevent
ion is worth a pound of cure, says
the Children's Bureau of the U. S.
Department of Labor. Regularly is
one of the greatest factors in keep
ing the baby well. Every mother
should have a daily program for her
baby and train it to have good hab-
it's. A we'll baby, the bureau points
out. has a clear skin, bright, wide
open eyes, springy muscles and
contented expression. 1t cries very
little, has a good appetite and sleeps
quietly with mouth closed. Well
babies are alert, they gain steadily
in weight and height, and show no
evidence of pain or discomfort. Ii
your baby does not have these signs
of health and normal development,
YOU are advised to consult your
physician or take the baby to a child
health center.

INFORMATION THAT'S
WORTH WHILE
HOW TO FEED HOUSE CATS

Meat makes the best food for cats.
Cats are natural meat eaters. Beef,
mutton, and rabbit meat are g ood.
Kittens like chicken and duck heads.
A little milk is all right, but a small
quantity of cream is much better
than a lot of milk. Too much milk
is bad for cats-it causes diarrhea.
Large quantities of vegetable aren't
good for them, either, although a lit
tie spinach is healthful if the cats
will eat it.

In the study of the markenting of
milk and cream in New England,
economists of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture visited many milk
and cream stations supplying the
Boston market with milk. They
found too many competing stations
in which the volume of milk handled
daily was too small for economical
service to the producers. Because
of the advantage of carload less
than-car-load freight rates, the low
est operating costs for a station are
obtainable only when the station
can ship a car load of from 22O to
$50 40-puart cans of milk daily.
This means a minimum supply OF
from 100000 to 100000 pounds
yearly, and a supply of 100000
pounds is more desirable because 1t
permits full car shipment even in
the seasons of Iightest supply. Much
the same applies to dairy stations in
other regions than New England,
particularly in areas where the prln-
cipaI market is a large city with a
heavy demand for fluid milk.

EN70MDED MINERS l
 DEMAND FULL PAY
Insist on Wages for Entire
 Period Spent in Cave

Hazelton, Pa, Feb. il R-If a man is entombed in coal mine for eight days, is he entitled to pay forj two shifts of eight hours a day or| three shifts?
 This question has caused a dispute between the United Mine Workersj and the Lehigh Valley Coal Go. It arose out of the entombmentI for eight days of five minersl in the Tomhicken colliery by al flood last November.
 The men were rescued Thanksgiv- ing eve. Andrew Mattey, district president of the mine workers, an-I nounced that they had been paidI for two shifts a day without notif-I cation and that the money was in their pay envelopes when the lastj regular wage distribution was made after their rescue.
 MT. Mattey maintains that the men are entitled to 24 hours shifts. He said today that if the claim wasI not adjusted it would be taken tol the anthracite board of conciliation for a ruling. Conferences have been held with officials of the coal com pany but apparently the prospects of adjustment by that method are not encouraging.

THE VIRGINIANS

The local police department thought it essential to send one Ar thur Aaronson, alleged swindler, to Newport News in roundabout way. Two Virginia detectives, sent to escort him to their state, appear to have ignored these carefully laid plans and took him through New York City-the prisoners home city without handcuffs.
 It was risky thing to do; but perhaps the men from Virginia thought that because the round about trip through Pennsylvania had been we'll advertised and was expected to be taken, 1t was a neat trick to take the unexpected direct route.
 Perhaps this comes under the heading of strategy. But if Aaronson had made a sudden dive for free- dom in New York and got tangled up with the crowds the Virginia detectives would have furnished a nice first page "rube" story for the New York papers.

BOY SCOUT ANNIVERSARY

This week saw the 17th anniver- sary of the Boy Scouts organiza- tion. During that time it has de- veloped into an organization with a large national membership; its good work widely recognized.
 The slogan of the organization in New Britain is Training manhood to serve boyhood." Every effort ap- parently is made to carry out this laudable purpose. Through it young sters are made to realize that the older folks are vitally interested in their welfare. A chummy attitude between the two helps the men as well as it does the boys.
 Every two years a school of scout masters is conducted in the city. Preparations are being made to con- duct such a school here at present. Part of the success of the Boy scouts system lies in the fact that the scout masters are well trained to function as such; that it is not merely a case of some older person taking a hike with the boys and really not understanding hows to guide them alright.
 In these days when youth is SUD- posed to present problem it is gratifying to realize that the Boy Scouts organization is one of those which is doing a most valuable work.

ROOSENELT'S SPEECH

There is little similarity between Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the gentleman of that name who used to hold the public stage and the popu- lar affections. The present colonel is no more like the late lamented colonel than mouse is like a lion. The son is an estimable citizen and is doing the best he can; but he IS laboring under the inevitable handicap when he follows the same line of activity that the elder Roose- welt followed with such signal suc-
 cess. If he were president of a Pull man company, or were deeply inn mersed in commercial undertakings, like the son of Abraham Lincoln who died recently, people would not be inclined to make comparisons. But the present colonel Is trying to be politician-or is it q statesman? :? and therefore courts the observa-

 The Washington arms conference took place in Washington a few years ago. at time when our iso- lationist attitude from Geneva was much more marked. Many honest Republicans who were led to oppose the League at that time thought it would have a short life. President Harding, sensing the apparent ma jority attitude, invited the plenipo- tentiaries to Washington instead of suggesting Geneva, and thereby ob- tained a good need of personal glory.
 President Coolidge also at first thought Washington would be fit place for second conference; then, when 1t became evident Geneva was becoming increasingly active as a center of international discussion, he hesitated. finally concluding Geneva would be just the place for his sec ond conference. Now forth goes the call.
 The object of tho conference, of course. Is to maintain the 5-5-3 ra- tio, curbing tho possibilities of cer. tain foreign nations taking advan- rage of certain limitations in the earlier agreement to outbuild the United States, It Is important that the real facts should be thoroughly understood. We are able to out build any other nation, by reason of our wealth and resources, and we know 1t; so do the others. But while we are obeying the 5-5-3 lim- itations some of the others are bi iShhiii5, ol tIil CdleHilS u bItdh, the spirit of the pact through the construction of large numbers of smaller vessels not included in the treaty. It Is evidently the plan of the President to stop this leak; the large vessels are limited, the small CT ones are net.
 And If the foreign nations who are eager to enter into an arma- ment race with the small naval units can't agree at Geneva-then Uncle Sam in self-protection will lead the procession. Dispatches from Washington indicates Con- gress does not like any such pros- pect but If no agreement can be se- cured at Geneva to cover the little ships there will be little objection to building enough of them to insure safety upon the seas.

Navy Builds Barricades
 For Ammunition Stores

Washington. Feb. II (UP)-Bar- ricades of earth and concrete which will send explosions skyward are be- ing built by the navy around ammu- milton stores according to Rear Ad- miral L. E. Gregory, chief of the Bu- reau of Yards and Docks.
 Navy experts believe property damage and loss of life at the Lake Denmark. N. J., arsenal explosion last suumer would have been con- siderably less had the individual buildings been surrounded by barri- cades.
 The first of the new barricades is now under construction at the York town, Va, depot. It is planned to have their height about the same as the caves of the building. In addi- ton to reducing the hazard, Greg ory said the barricades would also lessen the distance depots must be located from cities and towns.

ton that he Is not the same kind of hard hitter.
 At 8 banquet Of the Mckinley association in Hartford the present Colonel Roosevelt found nothing more thrilling to talk about than to revamp the ideas of 1920 against the League of Nations, with some extra stuffing thrown in about the World Court. This was done on the day when President Coolidge issued a note favoring cooperation with the League in connection with naval Esnatters.
 According to Colonel Roosevelt's 1920 political palaver, the League is an instrument of the devil and everyone should be opposed to 1t. What this gentleman and everyone of his kind overlools Is that the League even in Wilson's day held 8 majority of sentiment in the Senate of the United States and the Wilson treaty only failed of ratification be- cause the constitutional two-thirds majority was lacking. So far as the public itself is concerned. 1t long ago has lost the expectation that the League would be nonentity in inter- national affairs; it reads the news papers and can judge by itself.
 Then consider the little joke play ed upon Colonel Roosevelt by the orchestra director. When the festivi- ties were at their height the air was punctured by the mellifluent strains of "The Sidewalks of New York;" the political hymn of praise which has come to be the national anthem of Governor Smiths follow CTS in New York. That made the banquet for a moment look like & Democratic convention.

PRESIDENTS NOTE TO FOREIGN POWERS

It is significant that when the American government, through its President, wishes to get first class powers to discuss further limitation of naval armamcn;-or any other question involving concerted action it relies upon "Geneva."
 Geneva" is another method of referring to the League of Nations; the Swiss city is it's headquarters there Is where the nations get to- gether and discuss their problems.
 We are not In the League-have "spurned it." as its detractors are fond of saying: yet we are co-op- erating with it to greater extent

"CLEANING" THE STAGE

 ened desire of New York City to purify its stage is degenerating into one of those affairs which have gone into stage or police history in the past, only to be forgotten.
 It was just recently that the New York district attorney publicly stat ed the Jaw was entirely inadequate. to stop the so-called indecent per- formances from the standpoint of gaining convictions. No change in the law has been made since that time; but suddenly the play-jury system is discarded and arrests are made. Now 1t is to be seen whether there can be important convictions, or whether they can be made to stick in the higher courts. The play juries found no fault with some of those plays now proceeded against; |. the more formal court juries will be composed of the same cross-sec- tion of the community. The out look is for big temporary hulla- baloo to appease the wrath of re- formers who may be entirely justi- fled and sincere and withal may be right in their contention for clean CT stage; but the district attorney is following a method that he him. self has declared could be productive of no permanent results.
 "The Captive" Is one of the plays proceeded against. Having seen 1t we know what we are talking about when we say 1t appeals only to intellectual analysts of bizarre emo tions. It can be safe to say that most of those who have been strug- gling to see 1t have not understood the subleties of the subject. If the young-who can't get thing out of it-are demoralizcd then the youth ful girl ushers in the theater, who lave seen it every night since its opening, must be In a terrible frame of mind. They give no such evidence.
 New York has been cleaning up night clubs for three months, and still the cleaning up Is being found necessary with the end apparently nowhere in sight. Arrests and fines merely serve as so much advertis- ing. The performances thus clean ed' never turn out to be Hops The producers can well afford to pay the small price for the big amount of publicity they obtain in this manner.
 Putrid performances may be an abomination: but 1t is the public which makes them profitable. When the public tires of smut the situa- ton cures itselt-as has happened in the past. The style in perform ances runs in cycles, the stage ac- curately reflecting the public de- mand.
 The present furore may convince the Albany legislators that no special law on the subject is necessary. The producers will be in perfect agree ment with the legislators. In the absence of a new law with teeth the producers in the long run will be the gathers from the present campaign; ultimately, when the cleanup dies down and the law re- mains as it is today, they will be free to give the public what 1t wants when the demands seem to warrant departures from the pathway of de- cency. If the district attorney was right In the first place he cannot be correct in his actions now. There is apparent reason think his original diagnosis was the correct one.
