HOG STATISTICS COMPILED
Reveal Fact That Moth Dakota Raises
More Pork Than Generally sup-
posed.

A matter Of great interest to the
farming element of the state as well
as the %fnanciers will be the fact tina,
the hog statistics of all the counties OF
North Dakota show an enormous in.
crease in hog raising in the last three
years.
Four counties of the state. Benson
,Dickey, Ransom and Richland. raised
over 10000 hogs each last year. This
lis considered remarkable for North
Dakota where little attention has thus
Tar aver heen paid to swine.
Dickey county perhaps holds the
banner record of all the counties in
the state for hog raising in the las,
three years. In 1911 there were 1900
hogs raised in Dickey county. Last
year this number was increased to
$500, while this year the total number
OF Dickey county hogs amounts to
1929.
The number Of hogs raised in Barnes
county in 1912 was 4.161. This year
there were 1926 raised in Barnes
county.
stutsman county aised 2.6o2 hogs in
1912 and in 1913 the number was in.

CHORAL SOCIETY
TO WIDEN SCOPE
Lhurens High School Choral Society
to Attempt and Accomplish Greater
Things this Year.

The Laurens High School Choral
Society, which gave very successful
concert last year is now making pre-
paration TO present program far in
advance of that rendered last year.
This year the society will be strength
ened by the best voices in Laurcns.
VINO VIII aid the pupils. In addition to
this, the acCompaniments will be
played by three very capable musi-
clans, Mrs. w. Il. Lucas, Miss Caro-
line Roper, and Miss Francis Davis.
Taken all together the prospects for
successful concert are very bright.
The Choral Society was organized
for the purpose of cuitivatng taste
Tor good music. To this end, a rather
comprehensive program has been ar
ranged. There will be lighter sclec-
tions from such composers as Whit
ing, Wilson, and Pinsuti Among the
lighter numbers Wilson'S "Carmcna"
will be given. There will also be clas-
Sical numbers from the works OF the
Following composers: Schumann.
Grieg, Handel, Schubert. Raft, Mascag-
MI and Gounod. In this group Schu-
berts "Erl King" and Gricg's Olaf
Trygvason" will hold prominent
places. The crowning feature of the
program will be the selections from
the opera Patience" Martha" Der
Freischutz," I'll Trovatorc" and
Faust" Judging from these selcc-
tions, one is easily convinced that the
society is fulfilling its purpose.
In order to perfect an organization
and to discuss the plans for the com
ing year, a meeting will be held in the
school auditorium Thursday evening
September 18th, at eight o'clock. The
director cordially invites to this meet
ing every person who likes to sing
and is willing to work faithfully to
learn the music selected. He feels that
those who join the chorus will not on
ly help it but will also improve them
selves. He is very dcsirous to have the
cooperation of all the musicians of
Laurens, for he feels that with this
cooperation, he will be able to accom-
pliSh that of which the entire town
will Justly be proud.
