'TRAFFIC COPS" ARE PLAYING THEIR PART IN THE WAR

: l

Stream of sightseeing cars and oml nibusses rushing French and British soldiers to the front, at top, and soldier traffic officer with semaphore, directing traffic on main traveled road for troop and supply vehicles. War calls for even the services of traffic cops. The steady procession of motor driven and horse drawn vehicles from the big cantonments and supply bases in France to the battle front and back is heavy enough to cause congestion at points along the road3. The services of a traffic officer with the usual "stop-go" semephore is needed to prevent accidents and delays in transportation. The pictures show some of the sightseeing cars and omnibusses filled with soldiers on a main traveled road near Paris and a soldier doing traffic duty on a French road.

5,000 ARRESTED IN

SLACKER ROUNDUP

CHICAGO, July 12. The round-up

by federal agents and the police of alleged slackers nad unregistered aliens which brought to various police stations nearly 5,000 men last night, continued today. Railroad stations,

steamship docks, . theatres, hbtels, pool rooms, restaurants and other public places were searched and those who could not show cards or proper credentials were detained. Out of the 5,000 questioned some 400 were compelled to spend the night in jail, many of them being visitors from out-of-town. . There was great excitement at the municipal pier dance hall when the investigators appeared. Practically all of the several hundred men dancers were of draft age and the majority had failed to bring their registration cards. When the seperation of couples began some of the young women screamed and two fainted, believing their escorts were being arrested for criminal offenses. Scores of young women were hurried away in taxi-cabs and streets cars in search of the registra

tion cards of their escorts. Most of

the young men were liberated after several hours, but a dozen or more spent the night at the police station, being unable to establish the neces

sary identification.

Ho feared of the senate until yesterday.

VERY pig born this spring should be grown in such a manner that It

will produce the greatest possible amount of pork at the least possible expense. We need more meat; our allies need more meat. The world short

age of meat is astounding. Raising hogs is the best and quickest method of increasing our meat supply. A hog makes five times as much food value as a steer or sheep can make on the same amount of feed. We can raise 1,000 pounds of pork while we are raising 400 pounds of beef or mutton. The best cow on earth can produce only about 2,600 pounds o meat in a year; a hog can easily produce 7,500 pounds. - Pork is the only meat that can be shipped in ordinary cars or can be transported cheaply to nil parts of the world. Not only must we produce as much pork as pos

sible, but we must produce it as cheaply as possible. This means that we must utilize pasture in feeding hogs. If we have only a few pigs, we cttD fence off a patch oi ciover or alfalfa; if we have a large herd we should turn the hogs into the whole' field. If we have not sufficient clover pasture it is liot too late to sow a patch of rape. Ail acre of good rape,

one month old, should furnish pasturage for from 10 to 20 shotes during the rest of the season. A little corn fed to the hogs while they are on pasture will bring a good price for the corn. Too many of us starve our hogs during the summer and try to force them late in the fall. This practice requires more feed to produce 100 pounds of pork than is needed to keep the shotes gaining gradually all summer. We should always have the hog pasture large enough so that, as the hogs grow and consume more, and as the rainfall decreases and the plants grow slowly, there will be plenty of pasture. There is no better or more economical ration for shotes than about two pounds of corn to every hundred pounds weight of shotes, and good alfalfa or clover or rope pasture.
