YOUR OWN WELFARE!
The bank of a community is the one most inter
ested in the welfare of the entire community, and is
ever keeping its ear to the ground and its eye upon the
financial horizon for that which may be of common ben
efit to everyone in the community.
The bank's interest is in reality your interest, and
all should work in conjunction with this institution for
the upbuilding of all enterprises of the community.
If you have no account with the home town bank,
start one; if you have one, increase it. Work in con
junction with your home bank for the community's
good.

Fi?e Hundred Workmen in Pennsyl
vania Glass Factory Enter on
a Probationary Period.
Glassmere, Pa., Feb. 17. Five
hundred or more workmen in the fac
tories of the Allegheny Glass com
pany bought earlier this week by
Henry Ford for operation in connec
tion with his other industries, today
entered upon a probationary period
of two months, with every one de
termined to make good and to reap
the financial benefit of what they
termed the "Ford system."
The little village fairly buzzed
with excitement when it was an
nounced by D. K. Albright, general
manager, that wages throughout the
plant had been increased about 80
per cent and that for sixty days ev
ery man would be on probation, with
assurance of a permanent place if
he proved satisfactory. They also
were Informed that they would be
permitted to invest their savings in
the stock of the Ford enterprises to
one-third of their earnings and that
an extensive program of welfare work
would be Instituted and carried out.
The dozen boys under twenty years
of age, among the employes, were not
quite sure of their status, but it was
made plain to them that they were
to be part of a plan that also looks
to their welfare.
The Allegheny plant has a rated
capacity of about f,000,000 square
feet of polished plate glass a year.
In the immediate vicinity aje six
other Important plate glass factories
whose managers frankly said they
would watch Mr. Ford's experiment
with "great interest."
Arthur E. Braun, publisher of the
Pittsburg Post and former president
of the corporation, instituted many
innovations when tne factories were
rebuilt seven years ago. All machin
ery was electrically controlled and

(By Joe Haaga, Ass't Sec. Nat'l Du
roc Jersey Record Ass'n. )
The number of pigs farrowed and
raised by a brood sow has a direct
bearing on the net profit she returns
her owner each year. The cost of each
pig at birth is determined by what it
has cost to feed and care for the sow
during the whole year. If a sow far
rows only ten pigs in twelve months,
these ten pigs have cost at birth time
I just twice as much as if the same
jtow had produced twenty pigs in the
same period. It is therefore a good
idea to keep in the herd only those
brocd sows that have and raise large
litters.
Prolificacy is one of the strong
points of pure bred sows of all
breeds. Adherents of- the different
breeds of registered swine have al
ways maintained that pure bred
sows are superior to grade and scrub
sows or those of mixed and non-de-script
breeding in their tendency to
have large litters and in their abil
ity to rear them safely to weaning
age. In substanttiation of this claim

W00ER0W WILSON'S
HEALTH IMPROVES
Washington, Feb. 17. If you were
invited out to that quiet home on S
street today and you Epent fifteen
minutes in conversation with Wood
row Wilson, you. would observe:
A mind as keen as a razor blade,
an amazing knowledge of current
events, and ability to discuss almost
any angle of the foreign or domestic
political situation, an almost uncan
ny knowledge of world conditions, re
mote and recent, and a cheerful and
happy disposition.
Wilson's physical condition is bet
ter much better. Slowly, but surely
he is regaining the use of his para
lyzed left leg and arm. His step is
approaching something close to its
old-time steadiness. He is getting
heavier every day, the color is flush
in-his cheeks and he eats and eleeps
well. But he is by no means a well
man and probably never will be
because his age stands against com
plete recovery.
