assistant superior, Sister Seraphina Traut-
man. This venerable sister was born in
Refcheisheim, Germany, of Lutheran pa

Feeding Wheat.
Great quantities of wheat are being fed
to hogs in the counties about Georgetown.
1t has been found more profita Die to dispose
of the grain in this way than by selling II
al the almost unprecedented low figure now
