RoYS PIG CLUBS
BEING ORGANIZED

SO much interest has been TAX
on in the Boys Corn Clubs that
were organized at the Kentucky
Experiment Station that the
authorities are now preparing to
extend their work by the organi-
zation of Boys Pig Clubs. The OBJ
ject of these pig clubs is to boost
the livestock industry and furnish
a way for the boys on the farm to
make some extra money. The
boys will be assisted and encour-
aged in their work by the Expert
mont Station, and any informa-
ton that will be of benefit to
them will be furnished free Of
charge.
Members of these clubs must
not be over Is years of age, and
each is to own and care for at
least one pig. Records must be
Kept for at least four months,
showing the cost of production,
etc, and this information will be
of great value to the members,
and will tend to bring about the
rearing Of a larger number of
hogs.
The corn growing clubs have
been a great success, and there is
no reason why the pig clubs
should not be equally so. Any one
interested in this matter may OBJ
tain full information by address,

pertinent Station, Lexington, KY.

TWO MORE BURGLARIEs
 IN NEW LONDON
James C. copp. Summerine at Gale. Ferry, Had House Entered. as Die Jeremiah D.. cronin.

James c. Copp. who is spending the summer at Gales Ferry, visited his res idence at II Post Hill place, New Lon don. Friday afternoon to see if during
 the epidemic of burglaries there he
 had been robbed and found that the
 house had been ransacked. MT. Coop reported the matter to the police.
 Initialed silver was evaded at the
 Copp residence just as 1t was at the
 residences previously reported robbed.
 Several pieces of silver plate which
 had great value, were stolen. The
 burglar made his way into the house
 by forcing a window. After he left
 he pulled down the shades and the
 window, so that until an inspection
 had been made of the house it would
 not be noticed that a burglary had
 been committed.
 It was discovered Friday also that
 the home of Jeremiah D. Cronin at 22
 Nathan Hale street had been burglar
 ized. The residence. like that of
 George Fred Brown at Post Hill
 place. is unoccupied during the sum-
 mer: Mir: Browns house was the first
 on Post Hill found to have been vis- ited by burglars, the discovery being made Thursday morning Whether the Cronin residence was burglariZed Wednesday night or Thursday night could not be told conclusively Friday, dS hoDOuS NlSlIeo lHe nOuSe 1nurS- day,
 The front veranda windows were forced by the burglars in the manner similar to those of the Brown resi- dence One of the windows was broken and glass lay on the veranda, which people who passed the Cronin house did not see Thursday. This is the
 only reason to believe that each res l idence was robbed on a different night and that the burglars having no fear | of the New London police, have start 1 ed on a tour of homes vacated by 1 families at the shore for the season.
 Mir. Cronin's exact loss was not | known Friday. A clothes closet was
 broken into and several expensive | overcoats were stolen. Most of the valuables of the household, which had | not been removed to Neptune park | for use, are in safe deposit vaults. l At the home of Mir Brown every | thing has been left at the request of | the police, as it was left by the gur- | glars. At the Cronin residence peo- | pie were heard walking on the con- crete at 10 o'clock Thursday night l There were at least two in a party | which seemed to be passing through
 the yard. A neighbor's servant giri i heard them, but as they made no at l tempt at sealth she paid no further attention
 Friday the police said no progress | had been made toward the apprehen- | sion of suspects of either burglary To a single patrolman is assigned the task I of policing the entire Post Hill section l with Williams street and the police | say they do not expect such burgla- | ries to be prevented until New Lon- 1 don increases the size of its force.
