HOG RAISING IS
GROWING GENE RAJ
MEN At CHICAGO
MARKET SAY WHOLE COUN-
TRY is INTERESTED.

Chicago, Feb. "a jump Of ten
cents in hog prices today sent the
market to $500 hundred pounds, the
highest in sixteen months. Veterans
at the local stock yards say the
whole country is going into hog rails
ing and more pork and bacon is being
eaten today than ever" ..l.
Hog raising in the United States is
more profitable and more popular than
it has been for years, according to
figures compiled here today, and pork
ers are being shipped to Chicago and
other markets in greater numbers.
Extra demand for pork created by the
war and spread of knowledge as to
profits of hog raising are given as
causes of the boom. -
From the first of the year until yes.
terday, 2,155, 900 hogs were received at
the Chicago yards, an increase Of more
than half million head over 1915. For
the eleven principal markets Of the
country the total hog shipments from
January 1, 1916, to date is more than
100, 900 as against 100000 for the
same period in 1915. This, it is
pointed out, is in spite of the fact
that the German lard market is closed.

CL|N ON BOARD
HAS HARD PROBLEM
TWO SUPERVISORS ARE FROM
SAME DISTRICT WHICH IS
FORBIDDEN az LAW.

Clinton. March 1.-Confronted by
section All Of the Iowa code, which
states that two supervisors cannot be
elected from the same township for
the same term, the Clinton county
board which has two such men on its
list. is facing puzzling problem in
a special session here this week.
Supervisors Rice (democrat) and
Smith (republican) are both from
Center township. Smith is a hold
over man for two years on the board,
while Rise was chosen at the last
election.
Local legal talent, which was called
in In an attempt to reach some solu-
ton, states that the section Is clear
on the point, but is at loss regarding
what action should be taken. County
Attorney Clausen stated that the time
for Interference should be at the cleo
ton, and not after the new member
had been chosen. Others are urging
that the new supervisor be ousted as
elected contrary to law and new
election held. 1t Is probable an ap-
peal to the attorney general will De
necessary.
The question as to whether bills
voted on by the board are legal, if
Supervisor Rice is declared illegally
elected has also been raised.
