He start ed out to combine pork production and Red Cross work and tried to get 2,5OO people each to raise one pig to be known as a Red Cross pig. In- stead Of 2,5OO members he got 5000 in a county that has only 1,6O0 voters. Every banker, lawyer, minister, phy- sician and nearly every merchant in the county is a member. The pigs are weighed on the last Saturday of each month and a s25 registered pig is given as prize to the member whose pig makes the greatest gain through each month.

EGG HANDLERS
 MUST TAKE OUT
 STATE LICENSES

Hartford, June 17.---Every egg handler in Connecticut, including country buyers, must be licensed ac- cording to an announcement made to- day by the Federal Food Administra- tion for Connecticut. The sole excep- tion is in the case of retailers doing a business of less than $100,00O a year. Last month the United States Food Administration issued a ruling that all egg dealers not already licensed, as wholesalers of every class have all been licensed since last November, hsould apply before June 1 to the Li- cense Division, United States Food Administration. Washington, D. c. It is known that many jobbers and country buyers who purchase eggs from farmers have not applied for li- censes and are subjecting themselves to the penalty of the Food Act for doing business without license. The Food Administration explained today that its chief purpose in licensing these smaller egg handlers is tc strengthen the existing federal, state and municipal laws and ordinances !, relating to the candling and general conservation of eggs.

THIS IS FOOT
COMFORT WEEK
Big Preparations Have Been Made
at the Store of John G. Hexom
& Son to Provide Efficient
Foot Comfort Service
THIS SERVICE is
FREE TO ALI.
HeXOm & Son Are Doing A Patriot
ic Duty and Rendering This
Community Distinct
Service

Army surgeons in examining the
feet of more than million men
astonished the world when it was
announced that about rs per cent
of the feet of grown peorle are de-
fective or abnormal. Many Of these
men were disqualified for military
service on account of this physi-
cal defect.
Foot Comfort Week, which will
be celebrated throughout the length
and breadth of the land during the
week of June II to %, is intended
to put the feet of America in first
class fighting trim; concerted
drive to eliminate all classes of
foot troubles. During that week
practically every first class shoe
and department store in the United
States and Canada will make spec
ial efforts to relieve the public of
all foot defects such as corns,
bunions, callouses, broken down
arches, weak foot, fat foot, ETC.,
through the we'll known method OF
foot correction originated by DR..
VIM. M. Scholl, the recognized foot
authority. AS most people are we'll
aware, Dr. Scholl has devoted a
lifetime to studying the construction
of the foot, how it becomes abnor-
NAL AMI defective and the best
means of securing quick relief and
permanent correction.
War activities have thrown an
additional burden and strain upon
the feet of practically every man,
woman and child in America to-
day and as result there are more
broken down and defective feet
than ever before. This is a con-
dition which must be overcome If we
are to give our best efforts in win
ming the war. For these reasons
Foot Comfort Week this year come s
at most opportune time and the
shoe dealers who are assisting in
the work are doing a patriotic duty
and rendering their community a
distinctive service.
At the store OF John c. Hexom
& Son big preparations have been
made to provide all persons of this
community with a most efficient

In order to commemorate this
national event, very artistic and

him fall "a distance of about 20
feet. When assistance reached him
he was found lying face down, and
was unconscious. A big cash was
cut over one of his eyes and cash
over his nose, and his nose was
swollen. DR.. Dahl was called to at
