WASHINGTON, May 24. - The United States government is urging increased raising of pigs. The meat supply of the country must be in creased. and the quickest way to do it is by raising hogs.
 Concerning the production of pork, the department of agriculture has the following to say:
 "The meat supply of the country can be increased more quickly by the hog route than by any other. The country's need to augment it's supply is great, but prevailing high prices alone should be sufficient inducement to farmers to raise more hogs. The -prospect uf success never was bright CT. The high prices ruling in all markets show that the demand for pork is in exces sof the supply"

FIGURING WHERE PEACE TALK

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, May 24 Where will the eventual peace con gress be held, at Berne or The Hague? The question has recently formed the subject of public discussion in the Netherlands, where it is naturally hoped that the latter city will be fixed on for that purpose. That the choice will lie between these two there is con sidered here little reason to doubt. Either city would form a convenient center so far as it's situation is con cerned. but the presence of the peace palace fn Holland diplomatic capiraii, and The Hague's general reputation as the scene of the peace conference, give it. 1t is claimed. an advantage over its assumed rival.
