SEPARATED II YEARS
BROTHER AND SISTER
ARE REUNITED HERE
Have Not Seen Each Other Since
They Left Children's In
dustrial Home

After a separation of more than
seventeens years, In which they had
lost all trace of each other, Anna
Brown, of 1902 Grape street, and her
brother, Lafayette Brown, of Powls
Valley, We're reunited this morning.
The reunion took place at Miss
Browns home to-day. They had not
seen each other since they left the
Children's Industrial Home in 1897,
the boy, then years old, being taken
to a distant farm, and his sister. II
years old, being taken by another
family living near this city.
The children were placed in the
Industrial Home in January, 1897.
when their parents parted. They saw
little of each other at the home, and
when they were sent to widely sepa-
rated farms they lost all trace of each
other.
The reunion was brought about
through a chance remark made by
John Hoover, a fellow workman of
young Browns when he was calling
at Miss Browns home on Friday
night. He mentioned the name of her
brother and she inquired about the
boys history Finally she became
convinced that he was her brother.
Miss Brown came to this city two
years ago and is living with relatives.
She has always been keeping a look
out for clues to her brothers where
abouts. and when she was convinced
that Hoover's friend was the boy, she
made an immediate effort to have him
come to see her.
When they met this morning they
were able to recognize each other de-
spite the changes of sixteen years.
Young Brown works in a lumber
camp in Fowls Valley.

The veteran has not been heard

the local historians cannot account for
the request. Every circumstance that
Jordan gave to aid the Identification of

Boys Pig Clubs" to
Be Organized in South
By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. REORGANIZATION
of Boys Pig Clubs" in the Southern
States is the latest step taken by the
Department of Agriculture as means
of reducing the high cost of living.
The department is endeavoring to in
terest the young Southern farmer in
the breeding of good hogs, the object
being to raise at least enough pork
for home consumption and IL possi-
BILE surplus for the market. 1t is
pointed out that pork can be produced
so as to sell much cheaper than beef.
"A shortage of beef says a state
ment issued to-day, means an in
creased demand for pork and 1t seems
reasonable that there should be a
ready demand for all the available
supply. This means money in the
pocket of the boy hog raiser"
