AMERICA TO CHAMPION
CHARLES KNIGHT
By Lucian B. Watkins.
“Your world’s record feat of driv
ing 4,875 rivets on May 16 has set
for American shipbuilders the fast
pace that is so necessary for carrying
on the war successfully.”—Chairman
Hurley, United States Shipping board,
to Charles Knight, champion riveter
of the world, Bethlehem shipbuilding
plant, Sparrow’s Point, Md.
It was your day; it was your task,
Charles Knight!
Earth was convulsed with fate; we
called, in pain;
You answered with your quickened
brawn and brain.
“Ships, ships!” we prayed; your soul
immortal might
Rose like a threatening storm upon
the height!
Mad Egypt’s lightnings, ancient in
your vein,
That heaped the big-stoned pyramids
amain,
Thundered you on for Liberty and
Light!
Ah, Champion Charles! our armor
builder! we
Are constant with your spirit of
success;
We shall have ships—you are our
guarantee—
The faith that makes our righteous
struggle less,
With you we build for God’s democ
racy,
That love-eternal world of peace
fulness!

PIG CLUBS FOR PORK
Boy* and Girls in One State Will Pro
duce 10,000 Pounds This Year.
The Ohio war board says: Boys
and girls’ pig clubs throughout the
country are expected to produce at
least 10,000 pounds of dressed pork
this year.
To stimulate Interest In these clubs
and Increase pork production In Ohio,
the Ohio state fair will this year
offer a number of prizes and give
demonstrations in mixing of feeds,
making self-feeders, making hog
houses and other subjects of Interest
to pig raisers.
These pig club members have been
termed “junior soldiers of the commis
sary.”
It is expected that every boy who
can do so will raise one or more pigs
for Uncle Sam this year and help fur

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
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 Seized.
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 run in fifties. There
are 50 cases of eggs, they were fifty
years old, and it took Simmers just
about 50 seconds to taboo them.
The consignment was packed in air
tight cans and was to have been jmt
In cold storage at the Heading terminal
plant until bakers needed them for
cake. They were “canned” all right.
