TO obtain a SOW which has shown her
self to be n good breeder by the previ-
Gus filters she has produced, II Is adj
visable for economy's sake to purchase
bred gifts. These should be about
twelve months old. being bred after
the age OF eight months, and II posi-
BILE all should be in pig to the same
boar. Here is the first opportunity to
practice selection for uniformity;
whether pure-bred or not, the sows
should be similar IN color, marking,

tie sows selected should be the one
which the market demands. While
there Is some variation between the
different breeds. 1t is largely a matter

properly fed and managed will make
economical gains.
Conformation.

show first of all femininity. This Is
well marked In the hog II a close OBJ

by quality and refinement In all parts
OF the body. The bristles are finer and

directions to reach the picnic held
last Saturday at Liberty Grove by the
Remington Arms employees. However
by following the crowd and walking
far enough you finally reached the
place, and were well rewarded by the
fine entertainment provided by the
committee. Races, games, boxing
contests, wrestling matches, dancing,
a baby show and last but not least a
demonstration of the Browning gun,
were among the amusements provid-
ed. A crowd of about 5000 people
spent most enjoyable afternoon. A
scramble for the empty shells for
souvenirs after the Browning gun ex-
hibit, was a noticeable factor and the
ease with which this terrific weapon
Of destruction is operated was noted,
when Mrs. Gauchet, wife of the gen
eral works manager, pulled the trig-

the hill.
The picnic was such a success, that

ing corps, while still others are in the
medical service, the navy, or in the
training camps getting ready to enter
the fight. The flag will be carried by
more than 20 Elks in the parade which
will be composed of $4,000 members
of the order.

TRUCKS CRUSH BOY
PINNED IN MANHOLE
Gilbert Greeley, Crippled
Child, Fatally Injured-Two
Motor Vehicles Involved

The police today are making an effort
to ascertain which of two trucks crush
ed out the life of Gilbert Creely, four
years old, cripple, Of 4130 Orchard
street, Frankford.
Braces, which the child wore on his
legs, prevented him from escaping, after
he had been caught in manhole. as he
was hurrying to escape from the on
coming trucks. One Of the trucks struck
him, threw him under the big wheels
and crushed the little body! He died
few minutes later, upon being carried
into the Frankford Hospital.
The driver of one truck, Joseph Ryan,
1929 Woodland avenue, was arrested,
but the driver of the other truck es-
capped. He is being hunted by the po-
lice.
Little Gilbert was a favorite in the
neighborhood. His frail little legs, en-
cased in the braces, made him the OBJ.
ject of many expressions of pity. but
his radiant smiles seemed to offset his
affiiction.
Hurrying across the street last night
ahead of the big motortrucks, one foot
caught in the manhole and the brace
held 1t fast Both trucks bore dowr
upon him as he struggled. Only faint
spark of life burned in the little body
when it was picked up. Which trucl
struck the child is not known.
