EMBARGO OFF GRAIN

The first freight train to arrive in
Webster City over the Northwestern

All way freights are moving today as
usual. The embargo on grain ship
ments was also lifted this morning.
Punishable freight and stock are still
under the ban, however.
The partial resumption of freight
traffic on this division was due in part
to the fact that the POO shopmen at
Eagle Grove returned to work Satur-
day night in accordance with the suS-
gestion of President Wilson.
The resumption Of freight traffic
on the Northwestern line is the source
of a good deal Of satisfaction. especial

Refuses $4,000 for Prize Hog.

Down near StanhOpe on the beautiful
and highly improved G. o. Satire farm
there lives Duroc Jersey boar said
to be the largest for his age OF any
hog in the world. He was a year "a
March 8 and he tips the scales at So
poufids. Mr.. Satire has refused a bona
tide offer of $4,000 for him!
This hog King is forty inches tall
and sevcnty-seven inches long. He is
of course the pride and flower OF the
Satire herd. He is probably the NEST
valuable hog in Hamilton county,
which is now the home Of gccdly
number of swine aristOcrats.
This fine animal will probably be
shown at the state fair and possibly
his owner will also bring him to the
Hamilton County Exposition. the week
following the state fair.

in room 13.
Kennelworth's detective agency was

and pulled the shade over the window,
shutting the ham from view. ''I'll have
to give it up and call on father"
