HOGS IN FIGHT FOR APPLES
Missouri Farmer Is Compelled to Pen
His Animals Up So They Can Sleep
and Not Waste Away.

st. Louis.-Here is the seasons s
prize fruit story. 1t was told in Ed
wardsville the other day by Rev. F.
J. Buschmann, pastor of ST. Pauls
Evangelical church. Circuit Judge
Louis Bernreuter had been helping the
minister TO prepare caldrons of apple
butter for the winter, and the pastor
declared that the apple crop was ex-
ceptional.
Peaches. too. for that matter"
continued the minister. why. do
you know, one of my church members
living AT the foot of the BLUFFS has
had 10 pen up his hogs at night so
that they could get some sleep and
not waste away.
They eat apples all day long and
at night when they can no longer see
them they hear big apple drop to the
ground with a whack and Immediately
the whole drove scurries TO get it.
Their owner tells me they were ac-
tually wearing away more flesh in
this continued pursuit than they put
on. and he therefore had to confine
them at night"

THE GOVERNORS
SPECIAL COMING
Ready For the Invasion of the
East.
1T WILL COVER 1000 MILES
The Idea Is to Get the Communities
of the East and West Better Ac-
quainted With Each Other
Entertainments.

81. Paul, Minn.-An eleyen-car train,
known as the Western Governors
Special, left ST. Paul Monday night for
20-day trip to q cities OF the East
and Middle West, the first time in
the history of this country such an
enterprise has been undertaken.
Nearly 1000 miles will be covered by
the special before its return to ST
Paul on December IS. The cities where
the special will stop represent a total
population of more than 12,500,000
people. The Western governors are
going East with view to bringing the
East and West into closer contact
The people OF the East, through their
representative business organizations,
have made "get-acquainted' excur-
sions to the Western States, and now
the people OF the West are sending
their governors and most prominent
business men TO return the compli-
ment. The "patronize home industry
spirit of the West has been one Of
the considerations which has urged
the Western development organiza-
tions to send this excursion to the
Eastern States seeking the best
points at which the West may buy its
goods, since it is felt that the open
ing of the Panama Canal is apt 10
make European manufacturers close
competitors Of all American indus
tries. Elaborate arrangements have
been made by commercial organiza-
tions in all cities to be visited to en-
tertain the men making up the visit
ing party.
