did not strike him for anything as he
passed, but one of them called him an
old robber. Mr.. Bowser heard 1t, and
turned about and said:

TO PIG CLUB BOYS.

Continued s ON .,age u
and assistance is absolutely neces-
sary to make this movement a sue
cess.
Whether you are regular Pig
Club. member or only an emergency
Pig Club member, who We enrolled
during the past school session, it is
only by you doing your share that
we can accomplish this undertaking,
for as you remember, we spoke OF
these plans when we enrolled your
name as a Pig Club member.
Kindly give this matter due con-
sideration, sign the enclosed agree
ment, and return same to me as soon
as possible, thereby enabling me to
know how many hogs you will agree
to fatten.
Boys, let's see il we cant do just
as good as this:
Webster parish, Louisiana, boys
have raised. $5,545 by shipping hogs
to help feed the men from that par
ish who are in the army and navy
of the United States. They made
the money by raising hogs, did a
good job, and set an example which
will be followed all over the state.
This is how they did it: AS the
boys began feeding their pigs about
the same time, there was a rounduo ,
Of marketable pigs a few days ago.
Enough hogs were brought in to fill
two cars, and Prof. Balls, head OF
the Pig Club work in the state, went
to Minden to join Agent Crumpton
in accompanying the cargo 70 Fort
Worth, Texas. Clay, Robertson &
Company handled the consignment
and made the sale to Armour L. Com
pany. The latter paid $17.35 pc:
cwt. for the heavier hogs, and the
pigs topped the market al $15.S5
The total paid was $5,545.O0.
Lets show Webster parish st. Tam
many can do the same.
