Mrs. Dora Sneed, 913 North Tyler
street, not only refuses to sign her di-
vorced husbands dependency affidavit
in his QUESTIONABLE; in an affidavit
sworn to Wednesday in the office of
the clerk of the district court, she
also denies that Walter Sneed has
contributed $12 month for her sup
port in the last year.
The statement in answer to ques-
ton II that his wife and children are
wholly dependent on his labors is
false" Mrs. Sneed says in her affidavit.
Continuing, she states that she sup
ports herself and her two children and
that Sneed does not rent their own
house. In the affidavit sent to draft
board No. 2, Mrs. Sneed declines to
sign the supporting affidavit for ex-
emption.
Wants Him To Serve.
In fact, Mrs. Sneed seems pleased
with the idea that Sneed may serve
his country. She suggests to the local
the army that Sneed be obliged to
pay one-half of his wages for the
support of herself and children.
Mrs Sneed says they were divorced
December L, 1916, and Sneed was or
dered to pay $40 each month for the
support of herself and two children.
She charges that his total payments
have amounted to only s3S. Members
of the advisory board say that Sneed
was tardy in returning his question
naire. 1t was sent out December 10.
Sneed and his wife are negroes.

The conclusions Of the conference
The entire marketing situation mas
SO changed since the September joint
conference as to necessitate an entire
alteration in the plans Of price stabi-
lizatiOn. The current peace talk has
alarmed the holders of corn, and there
has been price decline Of from %
cents TO 40 cents per busheL The fact
that the accumuhitiOns OF low priced
corn In the Argentine and South Afri-
ca would, upon the advent of peace
and liberated shipping, become avail
able TO the European market has ere
ated a great deal Of apprehension on
the part OF corn holders. This decline
has spread fear among swine growers
that a similar reduction In the prices
Of hogs would naturally follow. More
over, the lower range Of corn prices
would, II Incorporated In l3-to-l ra-
ito, obviously result In continuously
falling price for live hogs. In view
OF these changed conditions many
swine producers anticipated lower
prizes and as result rushed their
hogs TO market In large numbers, and
this oyershipment has added TO and
aggravated the decline.
The Information OF the Department
of Agriculture indicates that the sup
ply Of hogs has increased about 8 per
cent, while the highest unofficial estl-
mate does not exceed IS per cent In
creased production over last year On

GENERAL PERSHING TO AMERI.
CAN FARMERS

This message Of appreciation
from General Pershing to American
farmers wos received by Carl Vroo-
man, Assistant Secretary of Agri.

a committee of American agricul-
tural representatives:

Chief, France
October IS, 1918
Honorable Carl Nrooman,
Asst. Secretary Of Agriculture.
Dear Mr.. VroOman:
VIII you please convey TO farm
crs Of America our profound appre-
citation Of their patriotic services
to the country and to the allied ar
mics in the field? They have fur
nished their, full quota Of fighting
men: they have bought largely of
Liberty bonds; and they have in
creased their production Of food
crops both last year and this by
over a thousand million bushels
above normal production. Food is
Of vital military necessity for us
and for our allies, and from the
day of our entry into the war,
Americas armies Of food producers
have rendered invaluable service
to the allied cause by supporting
the soldiers at the front through
their devoted and splendidly sue
cessful work in the fields and fur
rows at home.
Very sincerely.

II should be soaked for about half an
hour in water. If meat has remained

time, soak each piece half an hour and
three minutes extra for each day over
