OF the literary enigmas of the past
three centuries. Little is known of the

1.-The widespread interest in the cele-
bration of the tercentenary Of Shake
speare has resulted in a number of new
editions and biographies of the poet. SO
that now there have been published
since his death about 800 distinct edi-
tons of his complete works. while the
editions of his separate plays go into the
thousands. This anniversary has also
brought out new edition of Sir Sid
ney Lees well known Life of Shake
speare,' which has grown to be vol

the size of the original edition of 1897"
Asked If the Library of Congress
possessed any markedly rare editions.
Mr.. Meyer replied:
The Library of Congress possesses
the very rare and valua BILE first four
folios of Sha kespeare. The first folio,
which contains all of the thirty-seven
plays of Shakespeare. with the eXcep-
ton of 'Pericles,' which had been pre-
viously published. was brought out in
1923. seven years after the death of
Shakespeare. The second folio was
published in 1892: the third in 1853.

I'm appreciation of the nationwide

MAKES MONEY ON HOGS.
Parksrsburg Farmer Sells 1o1 Head
For Sum Of $1,742.25.

Charles Cramer who Is living on his
fathers farm northwest OF Parkers-

A. Schuck few DAYS ago that will
help to pay rent and keep the wolf
away from the door for the coming
year. There were 101 head In the
bunch, whose combined weight was
1920 pounds. the average being $50
pounds to the hog. He received the
sum Of s1.742.25 for. the bunch. Char
ley raised the hogs on the farm. He
had some old corn left and raised
enough new corn to fatten the bunch.
Charley is good farmer and from
this evidence good hog raiser.
Anton Slight. who lives in Pleasant
Valley township near Buck Grove, is
another farmer who was fortunate
enough to have big bunch Of hogs
to sell this winter. He sold to Mr..
Schuck seventy head last week that
weighed 1880 pounds and banked a
check of s1.2s0.60 as the proceeds from
the sale.
The farmer who could mature his
hogs this year is fortunate, for many
OF them did not raise enough corn to
hardly fatten hen. Some sacrificed
their pigs last fall early when the
price was breaking badly. The price
Is better now. Mr.. Schuck paying In
