RAIsERs FEAST ON ROAST PIG.
Association Celebrated Its Victory
Over Rages Of Cholera Epidemic.

Monte Vista.-Roast pig was the
leading feature of the menu for a ban
quet held in Monte Vista to celebrate
the close of the first year of the organ
ization of the Monte Vista Hog Grow
ers' Association. AS far as possible.
the entire bill of fare for the banquet
was prepared from products grown in
the San Luis valley. About 200 men,
bers of the association and business
men of the city who have contributed
toward its support were present at the
banquet. The Monte Vista Hog
Growers Association was Incorporated
upon the suggestion of DIR. George H.
Glover. state veterinarian, for the pur-
pose of making 2. united effort to
stamp out hog CHOLERA in this section
OF the state. THIS was the first really
organized effort ever made in the
United States toward the elimination
of this disease. A veterinarian was
employed and under his direction the
hog raisers cleaned up and disinfected
all places where the cholera appeared
and strict quarantine has been en-
forced. So successful have been these
efforts that, while in 1912 the losses
from cholera amounted to nearly so
per cent of all herds. with monetary
loss of at least $4,000. the loss for
1913 has been less than $50 hogs, and
the greater part of these has been
among hogs shipped into the valley
from outside the state. While the ban
quet this year was confined to mem
bers of the association. 1t is expected
that arrangements will be made to
make the hog roast" an annual event.
open to all, on lines similar to the
various festivals held in other cities of
the state.

shown at the Lyric theatre today. The
picture. "Thc Inside of the White
Slave Trade" was shown to the larg-
est crowds that have been in tho

ings of this great national blot, and
is taken true to the life of these peo-
pie. Scenes OF the picture are such
as will do much to make young girls
think seriously before they take up
friendships with questionable men or
women or people they do not know
all about Mr. London made most
exton.ivc study OF the evil and the
piciui was made under his direction.
The ITS Of the story, for there are
severe. are scenes from actual ex-
perienccs Of girls that came under
the observation of the department Of
Justice. People who seek Information
on this evil and those who simply de-
sire a dramatic story Will find plenty
to occupy their attention in this pic
ture which is at the Lyric today for
the last time.
