 DESTROY B|G STILL
Posse Still Searching Sayre District-Evidence of s
 Stills Found

Efforts of the sheriffs posse to break up the band of moonshiners in the west ern part of the county met with par tial success yesterday when Chief Me- Duff and Deputy Sheriffs Alexander and Kemp located and destroyed 6o-gallon still about miles above Sayre, and With in 250 yards of the bank of the Warrior.
 With the still they also destroyed So" gallons of mash. but neither whisky or men were in evidence. Chief McDuff stated that four stills had been located at the same place in recent past, as was evidenced by the old furnaces.
 The territory in which the posse is con- ducting the search covers about 10 square miles of the Sayre district, above the Warrior river. Deputies say they nave already found the sites of about eight stills, which bore all evidence of having been hastily removed to some other place. Armed with Krag-Jorgensens and car rying several rounds of ammunition, the posse parked their Ford near the pani' of the Warrior early yesterday morning. and recommended the search that was started Wednesday. The region is very wild and, the men declare, typical place for carrying on illicit distilling
 Chief McDuff and his men were hlolns near the lOcaIlOn Ol llie liio oNAAi tured yesterday morning, when an o,o man came hobbling down to the oanh' in plain sight of the officers, and began searching for his 10-gallon keg Of corn which he had concealed there, and whlcr the officers had discovered and removed. After he had searched vainly for iew minutes. Chief McDuff stood up, so tha. the man could easily see him, ana shouted: Cant you find it?
 ,:a1 ha Duff repeated his question.
 After cogitating for fully a minute o1 an evasive reply. the old man shouted Lack; s'Nope, I can't find him lie oee'' gone ever since yesterday, He then eA- nlained with much garrulity that he was searching for a hog, which hao aisap- peared the day before.
 "Mavbe he got mad and left when ne saw all that mash poured out, suggestee the officer. ona
 But the old man deigned no fepiN, anu anu nyesentlv betook himself into nous. nearby only to emerge 10 minutes iale' and disappear over the further riuge, 6oubtIess to warn other wildcatters una she Drevenooers were hot on their tral.'

Of late years hog raising has come
 to be one of the most important indus
 tries in Alabama The number of swine
 raised annually has increased many fold during the last decade and with the abundance of native grown feed stuffs, such as corn, peanuts, velvet beans and similar field crops that sue ceed each other, sometimes two and three crops growing on the same land in the same year. the industry IS bound | to increase enormously with the pass Ling years, provided the hog raisers ex- ercise care in feeding and protecting l their animals.
 Soft pork was one of the suoJects coming in for thorough discussion at the meeting of the Association or Southern Agricultural workers, held here during the past week, the men l of science who have experimented wllh I the subject declaring that the sott prod- ] uct is less valuable to the grower, less desired by the consumer, and harder 1 to cure and keep.
 1 Hogs fed on peanuts alone, accord | ing to these scientists, make soft pork, I the hams and bacon from which are freouentIy of attractive quality. but not acceptable to northern consumers, who are accustomed to firm products. Hog lproduction in the south is increasing so fast that local markets and demand l in the south cannot much longer ao- sorb all that is produced. This simply means that unless southern farmers produce the kind of hogs that can De shipped to outside markets their prices and profits must be considerably re- stricted.
 l Swift X Co, one of the largest pack | ing concerns in the world, and which 1 buys large quantities of southern grown cattle and swine, has issued | pamphlet for the guidance of farmers | in the feed and care of hogs. From packers standpoint they present the following arguments against soft ana oily hogs: I q. Owing to lack of firmness ana l lattractiveness, soft and oily carcasses cannot be exported to foreign countrles' | as it would be impossible to land them 1 in foreign retail markets in attractive | condition. ,...; l "2. This means their sale and dlstfl- 1 butiou must be confined to southern l oIl oh d.

 "The clinic for the free treatment and cure of venereal diseases has been opened at the dispensary ouilding. with . competent corps of doctors and nurses and from 50 to 75 patients are being treated there each day. < social worker has been actively engaged sine e | January IA. and the police department has "cleaned up" the town.

Packer Issues Instructions
 On HotU to Feed Hogs
Soft and Oily Pork Is Not Saleable CornFed Hogs and Pushes Market Downward-Firm Product
 More in Demand Even in South

markets, which cannot long continue
 to take all the hog products produced
 in the central south
 "3.. When not given hard finish
 with corn, barley or other hardening
 feed southern hogs are usually shipped
 at light weights, which means larger | number of hogs to make up carload with much heavier shrink in ship ment than would be shown by a load of heavy hogs This means greater loss all along the line.
 A. Soft and oily hogs do not stand shipment so well as hard hogs They usually reach market in less attractive 1 condition, therefore they sell for lower prices.
 "5. Carcass yield of soft and oily hogs is less pound for pound of live weight than from hard hogs. "6. Hams, bacon and all pork cuts l from soft and oily hogs show an un-
 usually heavy shrink in curing-an- other item of heavy loss to the packer. | - "7. Soft and oily carcasses do not 1 chill properly in the cooler. They never become firm enough to permit cutting 1 into economical shapely cuts so neces- sary to present an attractive appear l ance to the retailer and consumer. They show a very heavy waste in retail cutting.
 | "S. At ordinary storage tempera- lures 1t is impossible to prevent hams, bacon and standard cuts of soft and 1 oily hogs from continuing to drip oil,
 which means additional shrink and loss of food value at every stage in hand ling. This continuous shrink soon re- suits in the meat presenting a worn and stale appearance, which greatly i discounts it's attractiveness to the con- sumer and decreases it's selling value. | @ Hams and bacon from soft and 1 oily hogs show an excessive waste in | cooking and are therefore very expen- l sive to the consumer Consumers soon discover this and in their buying dis l criminate against them. "1O. Soft, oily lard is very difficult 1 to handle commercially without the ad-
 dition of hardening materials. This mearIEt that good, pure, prime steam l lard cannot be produced and sold from soft and oily hogs.
 ] II. The trimmings from soft and oily hogs are very undesirable for sausage ] making In fact, it is absolutely inn 1 possible to use them in high grade saul
 sage sold under nationally advertised l brands

Change in Telephone Rates.

A new schedule of lons-distance tele
phone rates went into effect on Tues
day by order of Postmaster-G Genera
Burleson, under whose jurisdiction
telephone and telegraph lines have beer
placed. The intention Of the new
order is 20 put telephone toll charges
on a uniform basis throughout the
United States. and this has rl suited
in general advance, though in some
few instances prices are lower.
There are increases in the rates from
Shepherdstown. The rate to Hagers-
town, for instance, which has been
10 cents for subscribers and Is cents
for non-subscribers, is advanced to &C
cents for everybody. This is for what
is known as station to station call
that is, from one telephone number to
another telephone number. If a par
ticular person is wanted, the rate is Is
cents. The rate to Washington is the
same, As cents, particular person call
55 cents. The Baltimore rate is in
creased from As cents to IS cents, par
ticular person IS cents. The Martins
burg rate, which was cents for sub
scribers and 10 cents for non-sub-
scribers, is now 10 cents for everybodys.
There is now in effect reduced rate
for night service from $50 p. IN. 10 II
midnight, amounting to about half of
the regular day charge. After mid
night the rate is still lower. The night
rate to Washington is 2;5 cents and to
Baltimore 80 cents.
Another new rule is a charge for re-
port service. II a person calls for a
party and the party is not in or cannot
be gotten, charge of about one-third
the regular rate is made, provided the
telephone number has been secured by
the company.
The new charges are based on what
are known as air line routes, instead
Of computing the distance by the wire
lines. The old rate to Keedysville, Md.
six miles from Shepherdstown, used to
be 20 cents. 1t is now reduced 10 10
cents.
There is no change in the rates for
points within Jefferson county.
