SWINE SITUATION.

The grain crop of the country
seems to he on the increase, but
there is decrease in the number
of hogs. With hogs selling at 1Sc
a pound, and corn at a relatively
high price there comes a tendency
on the part of farmers to sell short
on both hogs and corn. But l am
glad to see so many of our Lee
county farmers realizing that when
such conditions exist the value Of
brood sows is proportionately in
creased.
Since the beginning OF the war
the number of swine in the beliger-
e 1T countries has decreased rapidly.
Our exports of pork products in
creased from 4O5, 100000 pounds
with u value of$55, 900, 000in 1914
to 981 100000 pounds having
yal1e $175, 900, GOO in 1917. Then
it is easy to see that herd of hogs
is equivalent to little bank. Yet
it is patriotic duty to investigate
the situation and use all the means
available to supply the shortage. |
Since the declaration of war Euro
pean nations have decreased more
than 100000 head. High |
prices for both pork and feed, the
immediate need of warning coun-
,ries for meat and fats, causing I'M
orecedented demand, the lack OF an
appreciation of what the conse-
lnences from this wholesale slaugh-
,er and export to ourselves and our
lilies are questions which have left
is facing u situation which de-
hands careful and immediate con-
,ideration.
In this favored section we are
lot bothered about feed, for we
nave the grains, peanuts, velvet
beams, rape, and grasses upon
which to Craze. 70 meet the stu
tion we should breed every availa-
BE brood SOW to good registered
BOAR within the next two or three
ks. BY all means, use a good,
veil bred, mature sire. Sows
hould be bred to farrow two filters
# pigs each year.
No greater service can be given
han to supply our noble brave
heroic soldiers with the necessary
God. Those who do not go to the
,attle field should remember that
t is a great patriotic privilege to
,e enrolled in the countrys second
inc Of defense. 1t can truly be
aid that Democracy is on trial"
hat we, as a nation, must do thru

pie Of the world have been forced

Can we afford to do less when civ
lization is at stake?

SCOTS CELEBRATE
4 BURNS BIRTHDAY
Clan Douglas Holds Successful
n Concert and Ball

. Coming UP to expectations in every
respect, the third annual concert and
ball of Clan Douglas, Order of Scot
fish Clans, held last night at Turner
hall, was, by far, the most successful
social function the clan has ever held.
Several hundred We're in attendance
and all passed an evening of rare de-
Hight. s-s
For more than two hours the Louis
Ross Scottish Concert company of
Boston entertained, furnishing an A
No. / program. The company in
Guided Margaret Wither, soprano:
Jessie French, contralto, Frederick
Kennedy, tenor; Lorn MacAdam, bas-
so; Tommy Lonergon, character COM
edian; Nellie and Jeanne Irvine, Scot
fish dancers, David Fcrriter Highland
piper, and Alice Pulsifer, pianist and
accompanist. Through the efforts of
the entertainers, the audience was
transported to the land of the heath
er and hilltops, the home of Bobbie
Burns, in honor of whose birthday the
concert and ball were held. The
company was very generous with it's
encores and the program was extend
ed far beyond the original limitations.
It would be difficult to state which
member of the concert company
proved most popular as each was ac-
corded enthusiastic applause at the
conclusion of each number. AS a
compliment to the little island just a.
wee bit distant from Scotland, the
audience extended an extra warm well
come reception to Come Back to
Erin" by Miss Wither, and Mother
Machree', by Mr.. Lonergon.
Many there were, born in Scotland,
who We're taken back again to their
old homes through the efforts of the
singers. Pent-up emotion broke it's
bonds at the rendition of annie
Laurie" by the quartet. AS a fitting
finale to the program the company
and audience Joined in singing AUD
Lang Syne."
No less popular was the Hartford
Pipe Band composed Of brawny lads
An kits The band rendered two num-
bers which were extended a deserv
ing reception
After the concert the grand march
was formed, under the direction of
William Sullivan, prompter. Dancing
followed, an extensive program being
furnished by Judd's orchestra. While
the waltz and one-step proved to be
most popular with the younger gen
Grafton the older folks gleefuly went
through the difficult maneuvers OF the
Highland schottische, the require
ments for which are nimble feet, in
exhaustible breathing organs and the
possession Of Scotch blood i'll your

joyable evening. .-

wayne COUNTYS RESPONSE
TO LOAN BELOW STANDARD

Wayne county's response to the call
of the nation for subscriptions to the
Second Liberty Bond issue has not
been up to the county's standard. This
means that Wayne county, unless 1t
shall rally strongly to the appeal, may
fall behind its quota and as a result
would be in a position that would not
compare faVorably with past achieve
ments.
When the first issue of Liberty
Bonds was on the market WAYNE coun-
ty stood among the first in Indiana
that oversubscribed its quota. In the
Red Cross campaign Wayne county
also stood among the leaders In the
Hoosier state and so 1t has been up to
the present in every organized effort
to do ''bit" in behalf of the nation

All Must Feel Responsibility.
The time is ample for the county to
push to success the Liberty Loan sale,
but 1t means, IL such success is to be
achieved, that every man and woman
within the county's borders must get
the proper perspective Of conditions
and understand that there can be no
shifting OF the responsibility.
There is no charity asked In this
appeal.
