PILLS. BEHIND THE ADMINISTRATION Rank and File of the Farmers' Union Is True and Loyal, Says Franklin Farmer. "We farmers elected our present war governor, and by the Eternal we are behind and with his administra tion and we are going to stick there until we see this thing through," is the emphatic way in which Mr. II. D. Ed gerton, a farmer of Franklin county, expresses his views about the farm ers and the war. The leaders of the Farmers' union In North Carolina may wander fax afield after strange gods, but the rank and Hie, says Mr. Edgerton, will be ju9t as loyal as were their ances tors in previous wars. In fact, Mr. Edgerton says, the only reason there Is any talk of disloyalty among the farmers is because they too seldom speak or write their beliefs and feel ings but their hearts are right. In an interview he says: "Farmers, as a rule, don't talk much write less; but think more than they get credit for. At this pe riod in the history of the Farmers' union I think it opportune for the pa triot! : members of the organization to 'speak out in meeting.' As to the in dividual view of any of the 'so-called leaders' of the union I know nothing; but I do know that the farmers of this section of the State are as true and loyal as their ancestors before them have been in every trial that the nation has been subjected to. "Why, sir, we people here live in what was in colonial days the country of 'Bute,' and during the long strug gle of the Revolution for civil liberty it was a common saying that there 'are no Tories in Bute;' and I thank God there are none here now. "Why, sir, we would not dishonor the memory of the great men who have gone out from here in the past. The great statesman, Nathaniel Ma con, the Ransoms, honest J. J. Davis, Col. W. W. Green, and others too nu merous to mention. "We farmers elected our present war governor, and 'by the Eternal' we are behind and with his administra tion and we are going to "stick there until it is through. I wish we could have elected him for 30 years instead of for four. Yes. sir, we Farmers' Union men and farmers of this nation are going to win this war, and we are going to do it with three B's: Bullets, Biscuits and Baker's Bread. "Away with this talk about disloy alty of farmers. We are not Bol shevik! Russian peasants that can be led about by Lerilnes and Trotskys, but are free American citizens with a determination to preserve the civil and religious liberties handed down to us by our ancestors." This Boy Was No Deserter. Special From Washington. The' in justices and inequalities that are so often unintentionally committed against the individual in the adminis tration of the details of a world war are tragically emphasized in the story of Jerrell H. Marsh, of Parkton, N. C. Unaccounted for by reason of an over sight the Spartan like Tar Heel gave his life upon the battlefield while pho tographs displayed in his home town sought his whereabouts as having dis appeared from the fighting ranks. Jerrell Marsh did not ask why "it was enough for him to do and die." While army officers missed him from the ranks to which he had been as signed, he was attached to the United States artillery that went over with the Canadian overseas troops. He fought and bled and died for his coun try at Vimy Ridge. This was some time in 1917, and the announcement of his death and identification comes many months thereafter. Probably nobody is to blame fff wrongfrJly classifying this young man who so valiantly fought the battle of liberty. His heroic act doesn't even mutely suggest "place the blame where the fault lies" but the deeds of valor overshadow it all with radi ant splendor. The advertisement and monetary reward that hung auspicious ly among the people of his home coun ty will almost topple from their perch ed position when the true s.tory is known. Jerrell Marsh "went over the top" and he bravely sacrificed his life to make the world a fit place to live in. NORTH CAROLINA BRIEFS.

"A" GOOD HOUSE FOR THE WAR LITTERS You Can Move the A-Shaped House on a Dirty Place to MOVABLE HOUSES SUITED TO HO A-Shaped Type Especially Adapt ed tQ Beginner in Swine Business. GOOD IN SUMMER AND WINTER Front Can Be Closed In Colder Cli mate Afford Needed Shelter for Sow and Litter Lanterns Will Supply Heat, Movable or colony hog houses are especially suited to the needs of the farmer just starting in the hog busi ness and als for pig club members who are doing their part to help the 15 per cent increase needed lu hog population. Those houses, especially where the winters are mild, will meet all the needs of hogs for shelter both from the hot sun of summer and the dampness and storm of winter. They can be moved from field to field as the pigs are changed from one grazing crop to another. Their use makes it easy to keep .the hogs healthy, as the house can be moved as soon as one place becomes unclean. A-Shaped House. Two types the box-shaped house and the A-shaped house are described by specialists of the United States de partment of agriculture in a recent publication. This article deals with the construction of the smaller or A-shaped shelter. The A-shaped house shown In the accompanying illustra tion and plans, is S feet wide and 6 feet from back to front. The founda tion is made of three runuers of 4 by 4-inch material or straight poles. A floor of 1-inch material is nailed to the three runners. Tieces 2 by 4 inches are nailed along the outside of the floor to keep the sides from spreading at the bottom. The sides are built on the ground and then set up. Each side is made of six 1 by 12-inch boards 8 feet long. These are held together by two 2 by 4-inch crosspieces, one about 9 inches from the top and the other about 3 feet. About 10 inches from the bottom of the sides a 2 by 6-lnch piece is nailed edgewise and braced at the ends by blocks as shown in the illustration. This piece will act as a guard rail and prevent the sow from laying on her pigs. The two sides are set up and Plan of A-Shaped Hog House; Closed Front on Left Provision for Ventila tion Shown in Small Diagram.

There should also be a board nailed across the front to help hold the sides. As a framework for the back, 2 by 4 inch pieces are placed upright 2 feet from each side and nailed to the floor and sides. A crosspiece is put in 2 feet from the floor. The buck boards are nailed to this framework and to the sirtss. A guard rail should be placed across the back the same as on the sides. The sides should be fastened firmly together so that no storm will blow them down. The cracks should he covered with batten. Guy wires should be put in place to keep the house from blowing over if in an ex posed position. For Fattening Pigs. The A-type house is very good for a few fattening pigs and may be used to house a sow and litter in warmer climates. In sections where cold win ters are experienced the front should be closed in. This will make a good shelter for a sow and her spring litter. If the front is to be closed this should be decided before the house is built. This Is necessary for two reasons. First, provision for ventilation should be made, which can be done by insert ing three or four G-inch pieces of 2 by 4-inch material at the apex and spiking the sides firmly to them, thus provid ing a series of 2-inch spaces for venti lation. The saddle-boards are raised. Second, the insertion of the blocks to provide for .ventilation will change the angle at which the boards for the back are cut. In building the front proceed the same as with the back. The door should be 22 Inches by 3 feet. If the front is closed the window in the front should be on hinges so that it may be opened to give ventilation. If the weather is severe at farrowing time, one or two lighted lanterns hung iu the top of the house will make it quite comfortable for the young pigs. GET THIS CIRCULAR ON MOVABLE SWINE HOUSES Proper housing is important in increasing hog production. Good houses reduce the amount of feed consumed and prevent losses from exposure, especially with the early spring litters. "Movable Hog Houses," circular 102, office of the secretary of ag riculture, just published, tells how to make two types of inex pensive hog houses the box shaped and the "A"-rhuped kind.

In every city where the yacant lot gardening movement received atten tion the past summer and the num ber is represented most accurately by an atlas of the United States there has been in full sway a movement hav ing in view the preservation and con servation and wise distribution of the abundant crops produced. Demon strations in drying, canning and pre serving of fruits and garden produce Were given all summer from one end of the land to the other, so there seems little. danger of the wastage or loss of the cityvlatd's abundance. And that is not all. City officials and civic organizations have actively concerned themselves with plans for next year. Fall plow ing was provided for. Needed enrich ment of the soil and the securing and proper distribution of fertilizers are being considered. More systematic and more thoroughgoing methods for the direction and handling of the city gar dening movement are being worked out. In a word, the thought and in tent of the city dwellers of the United States are for a still more abundant harvest next season from the vacant lots and waste places of the congested communities. The men and women of American cities, joining hands with the men and women of American farms, are quiet ly and consistently setting about to prove that It is not yet possible to starve the civilized world, much less America, while soil and rain and sun shine last. Mac Lean Llbbey In Col lier's Weekly. LET SHEEP GRAZE IN PARKS Good Idea Both From Financial Stand point and in Improved Appear ance ef the Grass. For many years European cities have turned out flocks of sheep, muni cipally owned to graze In their parks. The sheep Is one of the best of lawn mowers. It crops closely, yet not too closely, insuring that smooth-shaven effect which delights the eye. And grazing sheep, as well as well-trimmed lawns, are highly ornamental. The city of Denver, keenly aware of the necessity for the utilization of all available land In the production of foodstuffs, has decided to purchase no fewer than 3,000 sheep to mow Its park lawns next year. The agricul tural experts have decided that where the grass is heavy and well rooted three sheep to the acre can be easily maintained. They will buy ewes ready for iambing, according to plans, and will make a handsome profit upon the mutton and wool. There are 150 cities in the United States with populations in. excess of 50,000, and practically every one of these cities has hundreds of acres ef park land. These park acreages, the government believes, could easily maintain 150,000 sheep each summer. Public Health Too Much Neglected. Public health work in this country is still in its infancy. All tests applied showed the health departments In the smaller cities to be weaker than those In the larger cities. Perhaps the most surprising finding is that the Southern and Pacific cities have better devel oped municipal health departments than the Northern cities from the Rockies to the Atlantic. The Central Northern cities stand at the foot of the list. A recent report concludes that the appropriations granted most health departments in this country are grossly inadequate, for the new functions modem science requires them to perform. It Is stated that health departments should be allowed a "minimum wage" of 50 cents per In habitant per year, as . compared with the present average allowance of 22 cents. Government Bulletin. Stranger Understood. The stranger in Cleveland accosted a man whom he judged to be an old inhabitant. "Have you lived In Cleveland long?" asked the stranger. "About twenty years," acknowledged the Clevelander. "Is the climate here salubrious T "Is the climate here ? Say, you can just bet it is. And would you mind putting that word down on a piece of paper for me? I can use It. I've used all the cuss words I know of on this doggoned climate, and that sounds like a new one. How d you spell It? Yes, sir; I'll bet this Is th most salubrious climate this side of hello, where are you going?" But the stranger had learned all ho wanted to know. Cleveland Leaaer. Knowing What You Want The girl who always knew what sh wanted would be too wise for hei years. Often when she is surest if she were left to follow her own path it would mean bitter disappointment It is well for a girl if she has faltb enough in those who have her welfare nt heart, to believe what seems rather li i-d on the face of it, that they know : at she wants better than she knows hi self.
