ID PROBE SINKING
 0F THE GULFL|GHT
OFFICIALS WISH TO KNOW WHETHER SHIP WAS STRUCK
 BY MINE OR TORPEDO.
INTERVIEW SHIPS CREW
Consul Stevens and Consul-General Skinner Instructed to Examine
 Vessel.

Washington President Wilson discussed briefly with his cabinet the torpedoing of the American steamer Gulf1ight off the Sicily Islands, but in the absence of a detailed report on the incident no policy was formu- lated.
 Messages from American Consul Stephens at Plymouth and Consul General Skinner at London added lit tie to earlier information. Both were instructed to get complete statements from the ships crew and to gather such technical evidence as could be obtained hv an examination of the vessel
 Officials want to establish beyond doubt whether the vessel was struck by a torpedo or a mine. Secretary Bryan declared that until these facts were known no predictions could be made as to the course of the United States
 Thus far it is know definitely only that a submarine was sighted by an officer of the Gulflight shortly before tho attack, and that the submarine submerged immediately. No proof has been reported to stabish that this submarine attacked this ship or what it's nationality was. Nor is there posi- tive information available to show whether the Gulfiight flew the Ameri can flag at the time. or what colors ,I,N !, boats said to have accompanied her
 To enable the German government to present any information it may have, Secretary Bryan explained that an inquiry has been directed to Am bassador Gerard. This, he said, should not be construed as implying that the United States assummed that a German submarine had attacked the Gulflight.

HOW THE SWINE MAKE GAINS
Importance of Pushing Hogs From Start 10 Emphasized by Data
 Gathered at Wisconsin.

Young animals make more pounds of gain from their food than when old CT. Dean Henry of Wisconsin gath cred lot of data on this and found that 3S-pound pigs required 239 pounds of feed to make 100 pounds of gain, 7S-pound pigs required 400 pounds of feed. 12S-pound pigs 437 pounds of feed. 174-pound pigs 4S2 pounds, 226- pound pigs 49S pounds. 271-pound pigs 511 pounds and for the 330- pound hogs it took 5S5 pounds of food to make the 100 pounds of gain. or nearly twice as much as for the 3S- pound pigs.
 This emphasizes the importance of pushing the hogs from the start in or ter to make the most economical gains.
 It has been found at the North Da- kota experiment station that April pigs can be made to weigh 200 to 25O pounds by November 1.

The question of the removal of the county seat of Montgomery County from Mt Ida to Womble. which has been agitated in that county for the past two years, was brought to the attention of the State Board of Flee tion Commissioners when a delega- ton from Montgomery County ap- peared before the board with the re- quest that a new board of election commissioners be appointed for Mont. gomery County.

Ida, were invited to appear be- fore the state board to present their side of the question.
