Thief Suspects Leave
Names in Typewriter

Ashland, Pa, June T. - Thieves
who broke into the parsonage of the
Baptist Church here and stole valuable
possessions of the Rev. Mr.. Kern left
some very valuable clews as to their
identity when they sat down to prac-
tice on the minister's typewriter.
Unconsciously. perhaps, the writer
could think of nothing better to prac-
tice on than his own name and several
of his companions, which he left in the
machine in the scramble to escape.
Arrests are likely.

Of HIS PAPERS

AID OF PRESS IN SHlPBUILD.
ING PROGRAM.

Philadelphia, Dec. 28.-Charles M.
Schwab. in retiring recently from the
post Of Director General 81 the EN-
Urgency fleet corporation, expressed
his appreciation of the cooperation of
the press Of the country and the
newspaper support of his efforts. As
host at a luncheon to the heads of de-
partments of the corporation he said:
II wish to express my sincere APP
probation to the press Of Philadelphia
and to the press of the entire country
for their splendid cooperation. The
spontaneity of this cooperation was
for ms an inspiration which ever serv-
ed to tighten the great tasks'that con-
fronted me during my service as d.
rector general. Newspapers through
out the land worked in concert to give
the proper impetus to the shipbuildine
program-their work was constructive
and American to the core. At all. times
the newspaper workers, from the man
aging editor to the reporter, displayed
an intense, patriotic desire to aid in
making the work Of the Emergency
Fleet corporation a success.
"The splendid work Of the newspa-
pers is reflected in the shipyards,
where hundreds of thousands Of en-
,ployes n turning out our ships. The
newspapers did a lions share in the
work of keeping up the morale of the
shipbuilders, and for this I am CRATE
full more than words can express. 1
am proud of the press Of my country
proud of the work that thousands
Of individual newspaper men every
where did to mould public opinion in
favor of the shipbuilding program"

Of 1913 counties working for hog-chol-
era control is considered notable, there
being 467 counties in the country now
engaged IN this work, besides II
States In which activities Of this char

Representatives Of the Federal de-

ting of hog-cholera. In addition g.
236 cholera-infested farms were clean.
ed up and disinfected under the direc-
ton Of the Federal specialists.

an. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
I n:line with the g~eneralsplanSo Of con.
servation formulated by the U.S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the,entrance Of the United States into
the war the contribution made BY the
meat producers Of this country to the
war program is of particular signif-
canoe, as 1t demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the neat producers Of
the country. -
According to reports Of the o.. s.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle of 10,238,OOO head
and 12,441, 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January l last. In the same
period there was a decrease of $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January 1 unofficial Informs
ton indicates an increase In hogs OF
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago. with an increase In
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase In hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring Of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 6OO,OO0,00 0 pounds
more Of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In.
crease the. shipping program arranged
By Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80.
1917, amounted to 903, 7 1000 pounds,
while for the same months Of 1918 the
production was 1,277, $780, 900 pounds,
an increase Of over S74,O0O,000 pounds
for the quarter.
: During the same period in 1917 Ia
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1893, 10000 pounds as
against 1,454,O0O,O00 pounds for the
three month period ending September
I, this year.
We must increase u meat ship
ments, especially our pork products.
to meet the added demands Of the mil.
lions liberated from German oppres-
aion- And. at the same time we must
hook forward to the rehabilitation OF
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
emily the heavy pork production which
a has brought about will enable %
eysn partly to satisfy the increased
demands on N for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats.
and 1t 10 to the United States that Eu.
rope must look to supply It's deilcien.
e. At the same time there, will con-
tinue to be heavy demands, for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator shfp.
ping capacity European imports of
beet for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain q
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.
