WAR S TERRIBLE WASTE The Society of Swiss banks has issued estimates showing that the war will have cost by New Year day, 1919, approximately 217 billion dol lars. Accurate reports were not ob talnable from Belgium, Serbia, Rou monf Mnnteneero. Bulgaria or Turkey, but most of these war ex penditures were underwritten by their allies. The total cost of the first four years of war totalled ISO billion dollars. The figures show the cost of the war to be advancing by leaps and bounds. The 1,461 days of the first four years of war, ending July 31 1918, cost all belligerents an aver age of $123,000,000 a day. During 1918 the daily average has been $244,000,000. That means the war Is costing more than $10,000,000 an hour and going up every minute. Counting the expenses of mobilize Ing and all war operations, but not Including redemption of the debt nor the cost of restoring damaged pro perty, the Swiss bank expert esti mates the direct cost of hostilities as follows: 1914 (5 months) $10 000,000,000; 1915 (12 months $26,000,000,000; 1916, (12 months $32,000,000,000; 1917, (12 months $60,000,000,000; 1918, (to July 31 $50,000,000,000; 1918 (12 month $89,000,000,000. Total to July 1918. $180,000,000,000. Total January 1. 1919), $217,000,000,000. France and her allies, excluding the United States,- received $9,000, . 000,000 from Great Britain, and the Vnited States up to the end of July, 1918, had opened to the allies a to tal of $6,379,000,000 of credit. Four-fifths of the war have been financed by treasury operations and loans. Such loans aggregate $135, 000,000,000, or Just three-fourth of what the war has cost all helllger- ent nations. The debts of the warrinz nations before the war totalled $23,500 000,000, which four years of war hus multiplied by eight. Besides those colossal costs, there have been ap palling military destructions In the Invaded areas, for which it will re quire enormoug efforts of human en ergy to recuperate and some o which are irreparable. The total area of the war zone Is 174,000 square miles, of which the western theater of the war, in France and Belgium, stretches over an area of 10.500 sauare miles, and contains over 3,000 cities, villages and ham lets, great manufacturing and agrl cultural districts, of which some have teen totally 'annihilated nd some heavily affected.

England knows when the blow trial machinery In Belgium, $1,000.- 000,000, and in France, $700,000, 000. The destruction of agricultural buildings and Implements, of raw materials, of crops and livestock. has been estimated at a sum of $780,000,000 In Belgium, and $6S0,- 000,000 In France. Roads were destroyed frequently by the retiring troops and have been seriously dam aged by heavy gunfire and excessive use. The losse from destruction of railway bridges, etc., have been es timated in Belgium at $275,000,000 and in France at $300,000,000. The losses in Poland estimated at 850,000,000, in Russia. East Rus sia and Serbia are even more appal ling, while to the already heavy losses in France and Belgium is be ing added the systematic destruction of manufacturing cities and devasta tion of occupied territory, entailing a loss of billions. The greatest loss, however, is In manpower. It was estimatea inai in the first four years of war the killed or uermanentlv wounded totalled 15.684.000 men. To these must be added the other millions of non combatants, starved, enslaved, mal treated and massacred victims of frightfulness" and of war. (Prepared by the Vnited State Depart ment of Agriculture.) Too many farmer buy a part or ail of their supply of meat from local stores and hucksters. Meat, especially pork, can be grown and cured at borne for much lees than the coat of U) purchased meat, to say nothing of a ready market for good country-cured nam, shoulder and side. In spits of this the custom of fanner purchas ing cured meats la Increasing. It may not be practicable for every farmer to butcher and cura hi own meat, but In nearly every community a few farmer eould do thla and make good profits. Farmer who sell country-cured meats have experienced very little difficulty In establishing a permanent trade. To accomplish this one must understand the kind of cured meat his trade de mands, and also bow It is made. Country-cured meat often carries too much fat and undesirable odors, and It la generally too salty. A well-marbled. Juicy, savory piece of meat showing the proper admixture of fat and lean and possessing a good flavor I the kind the consumer desire. In selecting bogs for butchering, health should have first consideration. Even though the hog has been properly fed and carries a prime finish, the best transmitted to the person who eat (tk meat The keeping quality of the meat la always impaired by. fever or other 'derangement. A hog In wodtum condition, gaining rapidly In weight, yields the best qual ity of meat Do not klU a bog that la losing flush. A reasonable amount of Cat give Juiciness and flavor to the meat, but large amount of fat are not essential. The breeding of animal play an Important part In producing a carcaa of high quality. Selection, long con tinued care and Intelligent feeding will produce meat of desirable quullty.

Hogs Intended for slaughter should remain unfed for at least 24 hours, or better, 90 hour. Olve them all the clean, freoh water they will drink. This will help to clear the system of food and will facilitate, bleeding. Do not excite or whip u hog before killing. An excited bog never makes a good rurcHSM, and whipping causes bruised bams, which are not fit to cure. An In jured hog muy bo used for food pro vided It la bled Immediately. It Is essential to have the proper equipment for rapid und skillful work at killing time. An eight-Inch straight sticking knife, a cutting kulfe, a 14 Inch steel, a hog hook, a bull-shaped stick scraper, a (tumbrel and a meat saw. More than one of each of these tools may be necessary if many hogs are to bo slaughtered aud bandied to best advantage. A barrel Is a very convenient receptacle In which to scald hogs. The barrel should be placed at an angle of about 45 degrees at the eud of a tulile or platform of proper height. The table and barrel should be securely fastened to prevent acci dent to the workmen due to slipping. A block mid tackle will reduce labor.

LETTERS from our boya in the trenches and from the women In canteen and other war work, all brlnff to us the same mca sage SEND US NEWS FROM HOME. World news is all right, but OUR BOYS want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented from Bending their papers free to anyone, even boys in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce Thompson of New York, who is ucting a i'rcnident of the Home Taper Service of America to give the boys what they are eailing for. Every community la joining the movement Let u see that our boys are not forgotten. Send to the publisher of this newnpaper whatever amount of money you can 5 cents or $50.00. We will publish a list each week of those contributing, and the amounts contributed. Every cent received will be used to send this paper to our boy at the front. If at the end of the war, there i any surplus, it will be turned over to the local Red Croaa Committee. There is no profit in this to the publisher even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold at a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the high rate of postage on papers sent to France, our cost will scarcely be covered by our full subscription price.
