‘‘Oi’ve got a job an’ a pass to St,
Louis on th’ Wabash. Yez can go to
hell.”
The State College of Agriculture
offers the following suggestions for
reducing losses in shipping hogs in
hot weather: The hogs should be
handled as quietly and slowly as pos
sible and loaded in a cool condition.
They should be brought to the yards
in plenty of time to rest and cool off
before loading. Plenty of drinking
water should be available, but many
do not feed near loading time. Bed
the car well with sand and wet it down
thoroughly. Don’t use- cinders or
straw for bedding. Where ice is avail
able it is well to place a couple of cakes
in the car. Don’t overload. Often
times money is saved by loading only
15,000 pounds in a 36-foot car, instead
of 17,000 pounds minimum.
SAVE MONEY!

FAIRNESS OF HARDING
IS LIKED BY CONGRESS
Attitude Toward Labor, Agriculture
and Industry Appeals to
Nation’s Lawmakers.
Washington, June 20.—Members of
Congress have been carefully studying
the general policy outlined by Presi
dent Harding toward labor, manufact
uring and agriculture in his speeches
of the past few days. With this policy
they agree. Hence accentuated har
mony between the Republican execu
tive and the Republican Congress.
These are the utterances which they
have singled out as expressive of the
policy of the new administration:
“Justice, like charity, must begin at
home. We must be just to oprselves
and to our own, first of all. This is
not selfish, for selfishness seeks more
than a fair share; we seek only that
which is rightfully our own and then
to preserve that to ourselves and our
posterity. The war sadly disjointed ■
things in the world, and we are now
seeking to restore the proper balance.
In our efforts to do this, to achieve
justice without selfishness, we will d° :
well to cling to our firm foundation. I
believe ip the inspired beginning. ■
There we will find that national great
ness was founded on agriculture, that
later we developed industry, and ulti
mately commerce, both domestic and
foreign.
“The country has emerged from the
hectic prosperity following the war,
and is suffering fpom depression- We
are confronted by the need to place
our own house in order, and no more
important feature of that effort can be
visioned than to place our agricultural
industry on a sound basis, and provide
machinery and facilities for financing i
and distributing crops. If we do this,
we merely will be providing the farmer 1
with facilities similar to those enjoyed
by the business community generally. <
The farmer is entitled to all the help i
the Government can give him without
injustice to others, because it is of the
utmost importance that the agricult- :
ural community be contented and pros
perous. '
“Turning to industry, our policy
must be to give it every facility pos
sible, but to keep Government outside
of participation in business qn its own
account. It is not necessary for the
Government to intrude itself in the
business activities which are better
conducted throughv private instrumen
talities, merely in order to demon
strate that the Government is more
powerful than anything else in this :
country. ’
WILL PROTECT MOTHERHOOD.
_ ]
Washington, June 20.—Protection of
maternity and infancy by providing op
portunity for mothers everywhere to
receive suitable instruction in child
hygene is given in a bill favorably
reported to the Senate by Chairman
Kenyon, of the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor.
The measure is the result of dis
closures by the Children’s Bureau that
23,000 mothers died in 1918 from
causes connected with childbirth. The 1
Bureau also demonstrated:
High maternal mortality rate
above the average for the United
States as a whole.
The fact that 80 per cent of the
mothers had received no advice oi^
trained care during pregnancy.
Many mothers had no trained at
tendants of any kind at confinement.
In accessibility and often entire l^ck
ot' hospitals, doctors, and nurses.
Practically no organized effort to
meet the need for instruction in pre
natal and infant hygene and for train
'
ed care during pregnancy and con
finement.
An almost prohibitive cost for pro
viding adequate care of confinement
in scattered and isolated rural dis
tricts. The very districts where advice
and supervision during pregnancy and
letter help at confinement are most
needed are the ones least able to obtain
ir. without financial aid.

“Well. Pat,” said Bridget, “what kind

“Well, it’s a raven,” replied Patv
“A raven. And what aid you bring
homea bird like that for?”
“Well, I read in a paper the other

live for three hundred years. I don’t
believe it, so I am going to put it to
the test.”
OF COURSE NOT.
Indianapolis News: A resident of
the rural districts, Louis by name,
brought a load of hogs to the local
stockyards and they were sold by Ben,
another native of the fatherland. Later
in the day Louis was digesting the ac
count of the sale, when Ben approach
ed and inquired:
“Louie, did your hogs weigh as
n'uch as you thought they would?”
Louie replied: “No, they didn’t but I
didn’t think they would.”
THEY’RE QUITE ALIKE.
A rather successful Hoosier school
ma'am has for one of her ambitions
never to look her profession so that
people can gues.%jt when they see her.
So whenever she goes on a vacation
she poses as a stenographer ,a clerk
or a member of some other profession
than her own. When she left at
Easter time she said that this.time she
“was going to be a widow for a week.”
She succeeded in carrying off her
pose successfully, too, until the day
before she started home. Then on
that day she overheard the colored
elevator boy talking to a man she had
met. “So she am a widow?” he said.
“Yes,” the man nodded his head.
“I ain’t surprised,” the boy retorted
with conviction. “I said that the day
she come. I say that woman’s either
a widow or a school teacher. Both of
’em always have such a pert, ‘I have
bossed the world, way.”—Indianapolis
News.
YOU CAN’T BEAT ’EM,
Case Eagle: An Irishman came
into the office of the president of Illi
nois Central Railroad and said:
“Me name’s Casey. Oi Worruk out
in the yar-rds. Oi’l loik a pass to St.
Louis.”
“That is no way to ask for a pass,”
said the president. You should intro
duce yourself politely. Come- back In
an hour and try it again.’'
At the end of the day back came the
irishman. Doffing his hat, he inquired,
‘Are yez the man I saw before?”
“I am.
“Me name is Patrick Casey Oi’ve
been workin’ out in the yar-rds.”
“Glad to know you, Mr. Casey, What

FIVE RULES
for BUYING TIRES
1 Any of the standard makes are good tires. Select the brand you
hear most about that delivers long mileage uniformly, tire
after tire. ]
2 Don’t be misled by looks. They have nothing to do with miles i
delivered on your car. Buy a safe practical non-skid, that
prevents slipping the moat. The Miller Geared-to-the-Road
is now the nation’s choice for big ears or small.
3 Select a tire you would buy the second, third and forth times.
Keep your Service received uniform. A complete tire
„ service on all four wheels is the modern and economical
way to buy.
4 Deal with an honest merchant—one who doesn’t recommend
tires on the basis of discount to him. Your future
patronage is worth more to the man who obtains for you ♦
the best he can buy.
5 Beware of tire sales. Remember in the end, you don’t get any
more than you pay for. Getting adjustments is an expen
siv way for you to try and get even with the game.
