PIGS IS PIGS
John Balls Investment Realizes at
Last,

last
John Ball, of Salisbury, we'll known
in Canaan. is the proud possesSor of
three Poland China pigs all the way
from Kansas, which he prizes highly for
sundry reasons, principally because they
cost him S. aud freight, and because
they we're "hred TO his special order.
The pig story goes away back TO
1918, when Mr.. Ball, on good recon-
incubation. sent $40 to "a stock growing
concern in Etfingham, Kansas, for three
pigs to be Sired by 1909 pound Poland
China pcrker of national reputation.
After waiting two or three months and
hearing nothing from the order. he
wrote to inquire. In reply to his in-
quiIy he received a letter advising him
to possess his soul with patience yet n
little while and all would be- we'll
More months passed by, then a year,
then more months and then two years
In the meantime repeated inquiries
ELECTED the reassuring information that
his pigs We're in the works aud would
be shipped in due time. Mr.. Ball had
almost reconciled himself to the failure
of his investment when last week,
much to his surprise the pigs arrived,
with fancy freight charges that added
materially 10 the value of the stock
but Mr.. Ball considers the pigs worth
every cent and all the worry they cost,
and when they get their growth he il
going to put them on exhibition.

A Plea for Snakes.

To the Editor. of Hartford Courant:
The story of the killing of a black
snake, which you printed in your issue
of the Goth inst, made a painful i'm
preston on me. The black snake is a
harmless and useful creature and one
of the best friends of the farmer. 1t
destroys numberless field mice and is
also the deadly enemy of the rattle
snake, always killing it when oppor
tunity offers. It would be we'll ii all
of us would restrain our impulse to kill
every snake we see, because. with the
exception of the rattlesnake and the
copperhead (our only venomous snakes
they are all iuoffensive and useful.
Very truly yours.
Canaan, July 81. ID. Q. w.
Our correspondent echoes sentiments
expressed by this paper the other day
When a man used a rusty knife to cut
out the poison from black snakes
bite, The Courant remarked that he
simply put poison into a place where
there had been none before. Black
snakes kill mauv pests. sometimes
they do bite wayfaring people, but
seldom, and then it's not a serious
wound. They kill field mice and rat
tlesnakes. AM in other ways make n
living. 1t must be admitted. however.
that they eat many toads, and the same
naturalists who plead for the snakes
declare that every toad is worth $50 to
the place it lives on.-Hartford Cour-

NEWSPAPERS GIVE
 ADVERTISERS BEST RETURNS FOR MONEY
Expert Says, However, That Paper Without Ads Like
 Bathing Suit Minus Girl.

Chicago, June 2S.-Philade was chosen today for the 1916 con- vention Of the Associated Advertising clubs of the World. Herbert s. Hous- ton, wise president of Doubleday, Page &; company New York, had no O. position in the field tonight for the presidency.
 Chicago, June 23-Present-day newspapers are better advertising mediums than ever, because they have a more gripping national power "a power that should be studied by every thinking advertiser, Joseph H. Finn of Chicago today told delegates att nding the annual convs sntion here Of the Associated Advertising clubs of the World.
 MT. Finn spoke oh the Newspaper, the Advertiser and the Advertising Agant.' He declared that advertising is the news about merchandising and hat there was nothing closer to the hearts of the reading public than 'the live news concerning buying op- portunity."
 "A ne wsp3per without advertising MT. Finn said, lis like a girls bathing suit without the girl-eloque ently empty.
 q believe in the efficiency of news paper advertising because I have seen what it can do in such varie. y of lines, covering such divergency Of propositions that the possibility o1 luck or accident must be eliminated from consid5 ration"
 It is the newspaper which pub fishes the true news that pays the adv rtiser best. the speaker said.
 Stick to Truth.
 Generally speaking, the best newspaper is the one which secure the best advertising," MT. Finn con tinued. And the best advertising is what helps make it the best news paper. Truth is, the slogan of tEis convention. Truth is the slogan o1 the newspaper that hopes to win the most lasting success-the widest in fiuence.
 q have seen almost overnight newspaper advertising and Terchan dising successes that would have been deemed incredible ten years ago And these successes were sold-they stayed put.

LOADED, AUDITOR
 ACCEPTS DEFI TO to BEFORE JURY
Dickinson Says He Has Nothing to Fear from In
 vestigation of His Acts.

Little Rock, June 23.-In com- munication addressed to A. B. Poe, foreman of the Pulaski county grand jury, State Auditor M. +. Dickinson assures him that he is ready to come before that body at any time and give any information he may have re- garding the trans actions with Special Accountant Thomas. In a previous statement issued by A. J. McAmis, a recent clerk in the auditors office, Dr. Dickinson was challenged to lay the matter before the grand jury.
 'EI know that it has been ny in :ention to have the foffice conducted on high plane," says pr. Dickinson, "and if there has been any wrong doing on the part of any employe, do not think he is now connected with the office; but, if there has been on the part of anyone now Tn my employ, I would like to know it..
 q will not only Do glad 10 appear before you myself, but any of the clerks in the office will just as readi- ly respond"
 MT. McAmis, in denying that he had discounted certain warrants, sug- gested that the matter be referred to the grand jury. "At the time I dil not think it worth while," says the auditor, "as a previous, gran jury Of ethis country had decided that it was not violation of the criminal statutes of the state for clerk in the auditors office to discount war rants." But when the challenge was repeated, it was accepted.
 Charges by Herbert Wilson, secre- tary to the stata railroad commission, that J. A. McAmis, former employe in the auditors office, had dealt in war rants, were denied by E. c. fNowlin and w. s. Grove, officials Of Now lin-Arkadelphia Lumber company, for which 'McAmis cashed two war rants. Affidavits by Mess:s. Nowlin and Grove declare MT. McAmis served them without compensation or offer Of reward, and simply carried the warrants to the office and the cash to the company as an accommodation. Both testify to MT. McAmis' character and MT. Nowlin tells, of an informal ms citing of the men of the First Bap- tist church of Little Rock at which the effort to besmirch the character of MT. MoAnis was condemned.

 Judge Kirby indignantly denies that he has any designs on the office, and openly announces his intention of go- ig out after bigger game. Senator Clarke's term will expire some time. Then watch the papers," says Judge Kirby
 It is too hot for much fighting this summer, but it is expected that with the coming of the autumnal equinox there will be general movement all along the line.
 With Governor Hays in possession of the fortress. he will have an ad- vantage over the others, but there will be as many elaborate plans for demo}ishing his impregnable position as there may be enemies attacking.
 There is much speculation about the final outcome of the little on-the- side engagement being staged by the special Investigating committee. This is a small party headed by senate: and two representatives who under took to see how the peoples money was being spent.
 The party is being actively sup ported by Governor Hays, but things are getting into such confusion that it is difficult to tell who's who.
