E ..... CATTLE INDUSTRY IS FLOURISHING ON CANAL Large Areas of Forest Cleared and 100.000 Head Soon Will Be Grazing. The policy of raising cattle for the use of the employees of the Panama canal and the military and naval forces there has transformed the ap pearance of the canal zone. Large areas of forest and jungle along the railway and the canal huve been cleared off and planted in guinea grass, and the big herds of cuttle may be seen browsing in the valleys or on the slopes of the many hills. Many thousands of acres huve been cleared already, and the work is still going on. A big dairy is also operated, and in time all the beef, milk and cheese needed on the isthmus may be pro duced there. The guinea grass originally was an African plant, but has been establish ed in the West Indies and parts of the continent for a long time. It is a heavy, rank grass, often reaching a height of ten feet, stooling freely and rooting deeply. It is particularly val uable, as it destroys almost any other vegetation, a quality of great utility in the tropics. It propagates both from seed and roots and spreads quite rap idly. The para grass is grown In a limited extent also in low and wet soils. It is not as desirable us guinea grass, but is eaten by both cattle and horses. Para grass is the great prevailing plant of the lower Amazon valley, as it is not injured by the periodic Inundations. Tlie cattle industry in the canal zone is especially favored by the fact that (iatun lake supplies plenty of water during the dry season, its branches ramifying through the many hills uud mountains and making fresh water avilable in all the pastures. The zone may support a herd of 100,000 head of cattle without trenching upon the areas used for agricultural and horti cultural purposes. PIG CLUBS FOR PORK Boys and Girls in One State Will Pro duce 10,000 Pounds This Year. The Ohio war hoard says: Boys and girls' pig clubs throughout the country are expected to produce at least lO.tJOO pounds of dressed pork this year. To stimulate interest in these clubs and increase pork production In Ohio, the Ohio state fair will tills year offer a number of prizes and give i demonstrations in mixing of feeds, | making self-feeders, making hog houses and otimr subjects of interest | to pig raisers. These pig club members have been ! termed “junior soldiers of the eomrnis j sary.” It is expected that every hoy who ; can do so will raise one or more pigs for Uncle Sam this year and help fur nish the meat supply for the soldiers. _______________ RED CROSS TO GET TIPS Society’s Workers May Take Place of Cloak-Room Bandits. A new method of raising hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for | the Red Cross and other worthy war j causes has been advanced In Cleveland. It is suggested that Red Cross girls be placed In charge of hat and coat checking rooms at hotels and other places where such privileges net thousands of dollars annually. It is pointed out that the continual seeking of tips and charges in such places is annoying, but that no one would feel , that way about a Red Cross represent ative and would be more than apt to give generously. Whether the sug gestion will be followed up Is not yet known, but Influential persons here are said to be strongly In favor of the plan. AGED EGGS STALE Were Laid Many Years Ago and Are Now Saized. Eggs is eggs, but fifty-year-old eggs, although still eggs, are not the proper kind of hen-fruit for Philadelphia, in the opinion of Mr. Simmers. .The whole proceeding ran in fifties. There are 50 cases of eggs, they were fifty years old, and if took Simmers Just about 50 seconds to taboo them. The consignment was packed in air tight cans and was to have been [rut in cold storage at the Reading terminal plant until bakers needed them for cake. They were “canned” all right. FOE PERSECUTES AMERICANS Indiana Girl Tells of Treatment by Germans After Wilson's Speech. Americans In Germany have been subjected to bitter persecution since President Wilson's Baltimore speech was published In German papers, ac cording to Miss Uonventura .Spinik of Indianapolis, who returned on a Dan ish liner after six years’ residence In Berlin. She sang there with an opera company. Miss Spinik declared that children are starving so that food may be provided for soidlers. Amish Prove Patriotism. The Amlshmen have at last decided not to allow yielr religious scruples to Interfere in assisting to win the war. Members of the sect In Pennsylvania are endeavoring to raise a bumper crop, and nearly $5,000 of Liberty bonds were sold amohg the leaders ICE CREAM SODAS FOR BOYS IN FRANCE X. M. C. A. Orders Fruit Flavors for One Million Summer Drinks. One million Ice cream sodas. A-ah! Sufficient to cool the throats of a flock of giraffes—Ice cold, fizzy, flavor ed with “strobry,” “razbry,” “cherry,” “peach or pineapple.” Um-m! They may not seem so Imposing here, with soda fountains on every Impor tant business corner, but—oh, boy I won't they be sample packages of heaven to the American hoys over in the war zone? Over there where, if reports be true, drug stores, masquer ading as chemists' shops, try to get by with nothing but drugs. France’s pet drinks, champagne and red wine, are going to turn an absinthe green with jealousy this summer when the great American drink begins fizzing along the battle front and going over the top of the glasses. And Ihe as surance of at least a million fruit-fla vored drinks as a starter is found in the cabled order just received by C. V. Hibbard, general secretary of the over seas department of the Y. M. C. A. war work council, from the organiza tion’s official in France. The mes sage follows: “Send quickly concentrated fruit sirups for one million summer drinks.” And the Y. M. C. A. war work coun cil has a way of sending quickly any thing ordered sent quickly. So it is a sure thing that when the heat begins to give tlie American soldier boys an awful thirst, they will turn gratefully from the trenches to the “Y” huts where they received hot chocolate lust winter, and there they will clamor for a “strobry,” or a “razbry sody.” Possibly to assure plenty of foam, the same cablegram ordered the war work council to send one ton of shaving soap, while the other creature com forts for soldiers, among the Items re quired, were four American pool ta bles, tpn tons chocolate bars, ten tons granulated sugar, ten tons flour, ten , tons assorted cigarettes and five tons smoking tobacco. GIRLS TO RAISE PIGS There Are 500 Young People Enrolled in Contest. Seven girls will raise thoroughbred pigs this year In Tuscarawas county, O., to compete in state and county contests. Five hundred boys and girls are enrolled in corn, pig, poultry, cloth ing and food clubs under the supervis ion of Miss Minnie Porter, county lead er of boys’ and girls’ club work. Poultry raisers already have set 3, 750 purebred eggs for hatching. The seven girls who will raise pigs are Thelma Shoemaker of Tuscarawas. Phyllis Hoopengarner and Grace Mc Cullough of Winfield. Margaret Sclilem mer of Strasburg, Mary Streb and Mary Lieser of Parrall and Zelda Wiegand of Sugar creek township. These girls will try to bring the pig raising championship of the state to this county. Two years ago the cham pion pig grower In Ohio was a girl. It was said her success was due to the j fact that she gave her pig a bath once a week. HUNTERS DISCOVER LAKE It Was in Their County but They Never Heard of It. The Sallna Gun club has found a j large lake near Sallna. Kan., for the fall and spring hunting seasons, and has leased the property for a term of j years as a private reserve. The lake Is In the southern part of the county, and many of the old-time hunters never knew of Its existence until this spring.

WESLEY IS FIGHTING MAD Because He Was Rejected by Marines on Account of Defective Teeth. John Paul Wesley, a patriotic young man of St. Paul, Minn., is mad.
