the old Sunday school, the old home,

proud as an officer of the United

and stand for the Army Y. M. C. A.”

Proper housing is essential to sue
j cessful swine production, yet it is of
' tentimes overlooked. Dry, sanitary,
j comfortable conditions mi; t be pro
i vided if one wishes the best returns
in pork producing business. Sensible
| shelter is in order because il saves
feed, provides comfort, and saves
money.
Swine are quite susceptible to the
unfavorable influence of dampness,
cold, heat, and drafts. The new born
pigs farrowed in January, February or
March must be housed intelligently in
warm, dry, well-ventilated quarters if
good returns are to be expected.
Plan to build a hog house now to
protect your hogs in the summer from
the sun and to protect them from the
cold 150x4 fall and winter. Satisfac
tory houses for hogs should possess
these requirements, namely: Warmth,
dryness, abundance of light and sun
light, shade, ventilation, sanitation,
safety, comfort, and convenience. The
above hog house carries these require
ments, and the following bill of ma
terial will give you an idea of how
little it takes to build a good, ser
viceable hog house.

A letter from a former Camp Pike
officer, who is now in the trenches in
France to a brother officer here sug
gests two things he might be doing
to prepare himself for oversea ser
vice—study French and begin to
sprout a mustache. One is a neces
sity and the other is a luxury, but
they both help.
No matter what tho program, the
colored Y. M. C. A. buildings are
packed every night, or if the pro
gram is held in the open, as most of
them are now in good weather, every
' seat will be filled and hundreds will
! be standing or seated on the ground.
If no program has been provided, or
if the attraction fails to appear, the
colored men can quickly furnish an
impromptu one of their own. One
of.the platforms is located on the
slope of a hill and there are no seats,
the men standing or sitting on the
ground. The negroes in Camp Pike
seem to be a happy, contented bunch
and so far there has never been the
slightest trouble or disturbance with
any of them.

WEATHER CONDITIONS
IN AMERICA IS
CABLED TO EUROPE
Y/ashington, D. C., June 11.—Even
the weather in the United States is
being watched from the western bat
tle front in France. Like ether
events over here, such as the mobili
zation of man power and the conser
vati n of food, the weather in the
United States may vitally affect op
erations on the “frontiers of free
dom.”
Once every 24 hours a summary of
weather conditions in the United
States is cabled to officers of the
army, who formerly were officials of
the United States Weather Bureau.
The reason is that marked condi
tions of the weather in this hemis
phere are likely to be reflected in the
other, and the reason for that is the
trend of the atmopshere toward the
east. As the world revolves from east
to west the atmosphere in mid liti
tudes tends to move constantly to
ward the rising sun. A great storm
in this country may have its counter
part in greater or less degree in Eu
rope some days later. Fair weather
on this side may mean fair weather
over there within the week. Supplied
with this, in addition to local infor
mation, the “officers of the weather
over there” are aided in forecasting
I
I
conditions favorable for airplane ac
tivity, artillery work, or other mili
tary operations.
GERMAN SUBMARINE SUNK.

Associated Press Dispatch.
An Atlantic Port, June 11.—A Ger- |

June 2nd off a British port by a !
British steamship, according to pas
sengers on a vessel arriving today.
A United States army officer on
board said he believed the shot fired
by the liner made a clean hit. De
stroyers accompanying the liner,
dropped depth bombs, where the sub
marine disappeared.
