It has been proven that Mr. Han ley is a better livestock man than a politician, and the record of nine teen cents on toot in Chicago recent ly, and almost as much in the Port land market, for hogs on foot. Is sufficient to cause anyone to con aider the matter of raising some hogs, even if feed is very high. In the January bulletin issued by the dairy and food commissioner of the state, J. D. Miekel, the situation la well summarized. Mr. Mickle says: "You can feed pigs the scraps thing like 600 per cent annually as I compared with 60 to 80 per cent in 'cattle, and about 100 per coil In sheep. And the high price of feert la no valid excuse for not raising them. There is plenty of evidence to prove that, all things considered, the chances are very much In favor of the hog aa against any other stork. "With a guarantee of $2.00 for wheat, thousands of farmers are going to turn largely to the growth of that crop. And thla will certain ly mean reduction of other farm products, the pig included. Such a situation will Insure a strong de mand for pork at a fancy price. "The European demand for fats at the present time is of the keenest sort and is sure to Increase. So strongly do they feel the pinch that in the waning countries almost all the restrictions against hogs have been removed. And their growth is encouraged In hack-yards and on spare lots even in the congested parts of the cities." CUT THIS OCT!

If these soldier bys YOUR soldier boys were three miles away Instead of three thousand, you would bend every energy, exhaust every resource, make every sacrifice, to n.ake sure that they were fed, clothed, armed and equipped as no soldiers ever were before. Is your duty any less imperative, any less sacred, because it is your neighbor's boy who is defending your country, your flag and your home from German frightfulness on the other side of the ocean? Is it not a splendid privilege as well as a duty to deny yourself luxuries, to save food, save clothing, above all to save money, for our soldiers? U. S. Thrift Stamps Save Lives and Shorten the War There is one thing you can do, every day, to help the Government provide the guns, ammunition, food, clothing and other supplies which our soldiers and sailors MUST HAVE to win the war, win it quickly, and come safely home again. I Go today to any bank, any postoffice, or any store where you see the W. S. S. (War Savings Stamps) sign displayed. For 25 cents you will receive a U. S. Thrift Stamp and a card to paste it on. The card has spaces for 16 stamps, costing you $4. When it is full, exchange it with a few cents additional in cash for a War Savings Stamp, for which the Government will pay $5 January 1, 1923. These War Savings Stamps are as safe as U. . Bonds. They are the safest Investment in the world because they are backed by the entire resources of the country, and the profit you make on them amounts to four per cent interest, compounded quar terly, if held till January 1, 1923. Buy a U. S. Thrift Stamp with every quarter you can possibly save. Every stamp helps to stamp out autocracy. Every stamp saves priceless American blood. Every stamp is a blow for Liberty. Every stamp will help bring peace to the world a perma nent peace, grounded in justice and righteousness. WS.S.
