ENCOURAGING PIC RAISING
Holland County Has Prize Winners in State contest-opportunity to Get Porkers.


 Holland county was well represented by prize winners in the state boys and girls pig club contest These prizes were donated by the Editorial Association, and the several pure bred clubs, and have just been awarded by J. A. SiIrrns. state pig club leader. The checks have been received by the Holland County farm bureau and al- ready mailed to the winners.
 Howard Garrigus of Storrs won first prize of $6 on a pure bred Duroc Jer- sey. =. r
 Sophie Musial of Mansfield was awarded seventh and Harry Ott of Rockville, eighth place of $3 each, in the grade class. where the prizes went to the twentieth place. These boys and girls deserve much credit as the contest was state wide, many repre- ,sentatives from each of the eight counties entering the contest
 Due to the fact that there is a great shortage of fats, the production of pork without doub: will be one of the most profitable lines of work this com ; ing year. This being so. plans are well under way to provide means whereby all boys and girls in Holland county under Is years of age can secure a pig of their own. and not only help pro- duee the needed food but make a sub stantial profit as we'll. The testimony of hundreds of Pig Club members all over the state proves that money can be made in this way. Any boy or girl desiring a. pig or further information should write to County Club Leader A, c. Sheldon, at Rockville, Conn, as soon as possible,

LABOR WANTS FINISH FIGHT

American and British ToiIers Unite
On War Policy.
New York, April 27.-British and
American labor is united and ready
for a finish fight with German autoc-
racy, according to a cabled report
from the American Federation Of La
Dor mission to England, received here.
British labor agrees with Ameri-
can labor regarding the aims cited by
President Wilson," the cable stated.
What is more important is that the
movement in Great Britain for a con-
ference of Allied and German workers
has almost disappeared. Even Arthur
Henderson, labor leader, has declared
his u~nwillingness to negotiate with
the Germans.
Solidarity against the enemy
hordes," the report stated, "Fs the
new note Of British labor. It is as
sured this solidarity will contime un-
til PrussEan autocracy is defeated and
the people of the whole world, In
Guiding the workers of the Central
empires. are freed from despotEsm.
The Prussian autocrat, if he is wise,
will fear the new solidarity of Allied
labor as much as an overwhelming
armed forge in the trenches"

900 to 100000 More Men vii,

Washington. April 27.-The Senate
resolution for the registration fol
military service OF young men who
have reached the age of q years
since June 8 last, had been adopted
by the house. The measure now goes

An amendment offered by Repre-.
sentative Hull Of Iowa and adopted
1l9 to 81, provides that men regis
tered under the bill shall. be placed
at the bottom of the classes to which
they may be assigned.
NEEDLES Not Exempt.
The house sustained the military
committee in striking out a provision
of the bill as it passed the senate
which would exempt from registration
those eligibles who have entered med.
ical or divinity schools since June
last.
Representative Kahn of California
ranking Republican on the military
committee. told the house the pro
posed new registration would place
from 10000 to 700, 900 new registrants
available for military service. In
that connection he recalled that Ger:

class Of 1919, consisting of approx
mately $50, 600 men.
Dent Opposes Amendment.
Chairman Dent Of the military com
mittee, opposed the amendment OF
Mr.. Hull. He said he understood it
is the plan of the war department
to place the newly registered at the
bottom of the respective classes un'
less something unforeseen occurs tc
prevent, but did not believe 1t prop
er to tie the hands of the department,
by an amendment which would re
quire that action.
Mr.. Kahn also opposed the amend
ment and declared there are thou
sands Of young men now under q
who volunteered at the beginning o

out Any Authentic Information
on Alleged Revolution.

Stockholm, April 30.-Reports from
Finland say the new Russian gov.
eminent will refuse to recognize the
Bolshevik peace treaty with Germany
and rumors persist that the monarchy
is again in existence.
The rumors would be disregarded
here wexe it not for the fact that a
report from Vasa, Finland, last Thurs.
day declared that the transportation
of Russian civilian prisoners had had
to be suspended because of current
disorders in Russia"
Russia Cut OF Three Weeks.
Finland and Sweden had no tele-
graphic communication with Russia in
more than three weeks.
Correspondents of Swedish news.
papers in Finland telegraph persist.
ent rumors in circulation there of i'm.
portant happenings in Russia.
The most definite rumore reiterates
that the former Grand Duke Alexis,
son Of the former emperor, has been
declared emperor with Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch as regent.
Washington Still in Dark.
Washington, April 30.-No word has
been received in official quarters here
to throw light upon the report of a
new revolution proclaimed at Petro-
grad with the purpose of restoring
the monarchy and placing little Alexis
N~ikolaevitch, son of the former car
upon the throne.
Neither the state department nor
the Russian embassy is in touch with
Petrograd, however, and If the report
were true the news probably would
come from many sources before con-
firmation reached here in official dis
patches.

the last five or six weeks.
The general feeling six weeks ago
was distinctly anti-ally and many
places openly were pro-German. To.

anti-German and the attitude toward
the Allies is declared to vary from
suspicion Of the Japanese to a friend
