market light pigs until they have made
hogs of themselves. This is the re-
quest to Hoosier farmers from the

tiers in the central west and help ma in
tain the price fixed by the food ad-
ministratiOn.
DR.. H. e. Barnard, state food ad-
ministrator, declared at the committee
meeting that the $3.50 minimum for
November and December would be
continued through January. There is
plenty Of corn on the ma rket now to
finish hogs before they are sent to
market and they can be fed out at
profit, farmers throughout the state
are showing. Slaughter and packing
houses are crowded throughout the
central West because of the rush of
light pigs to market and the food sup
ply is being greatly lessened by the
sale Of the unfinished porkers. Pro-
ducers can increase their profit and
food supply by fitting the hogs. the
food committee points out.

Dear friends, my thoughts are with

our day;
The time of year we all are expected
To be cheerful. happy and gay.
1t is a duty we owe each other;
=. Yes, q duty we owe ourselves:
To bury the past, forget our troubles.
And Join in with the Christmas elves.
1 Perhaps we have had great sorrow;
Perhaps sickness In very recent
1 days.
Kept too sad and busy to open our
hearts doors
To the sun with its luminous rays
But please do not forget there are
others,
81, Both near and far away,
: Who too are burdened with sorrow;
Hardly know tits Christmas Day.
What use Of sobbing and grieving
Over Inevitable happenings long
2s since gone,
When the important factors in this
busy world
Is happiness, cheerfulness. gayety
and song!
If we would but stop and count our
blessings;
IL Count them over one by one;
They may outweigh our sorrows,
BY q power both big and strong.
So let us help in every little way with
W kindness,
With cheerfulness, a helping hand
we'll lend;
Then join the glad chorus on Christ
mas morning,
And call, merry Christmas, Dear
Old Friend"

the coroner seemingly written while
Piper was in Hamilton, Ontario, read
as follows:
