letter TO the Mayor OF Fiume advising
settlement of the controversy between
the forces of Gabrielle d Annunzio and
the Government without bloodshed. He
says:
Public opinion Is painfully alarmed
by the suggestion of resistance mani

conflicts and new tears. which always
bring major sufferings to the working
population and delay that peace for
which so many hearts have yearned.
Particularly painful Is would be TO see
fraternal blood spilled without result.
'Impelled by the qualities OF sound
sense and generosity, and OF the defence
with which you have demonstrated your
self particularly endowed. dare beg
you call the attention of your municipal
ity and state TO these considerations, so
as TO make them favorable to superior
reason, OF peace, fraternity and well
meant patriotism, SO that new dreaded
sufferings may be spared

the Cardinal. saying that the Italian
Government had been most firm in set
thing the question without regard to the
people OF F'iume, and that blood spilled
for Just cause always would bear fruit.
He added that he would follow dan
nunzio with all those who may remain
faithful by whatever means or by what
ever undertaking."

NEWARK MAN BUYS
 FINE REGISTERED HOGS
RECENT PURCHASES BY HER BERT BENSON MAKES HIS
 HERD ONE OF THE BEST

A review of the Poland China Journal, of January 10, published ex- clusively in the interest of this breed of hogs, brings to light some interest ing facts about these hogs, and the enormous prices paid for pedigreed breeding animals. In that issue will be found an account of sales held in a Missouri circuit, and names of pur- chasers. Notable among the buyers gre prominent breeders from several different states, and of more than passing interest is the name of Her bert Benson, Newark's successful breeder of Poland China's.
 That Mir. Benson was in the ring to secure really high class animals is ev- idenced by the fact that he purchased Miss Fessey, 700768" sired by "Fcs- sey's Timm," product of one of the most noted hogs in the Poland China world. This remarkable sow is bred to Big Priteh" very noted boar for which Missouri owners recently re- fused an offer of $5,000. The SOW purchased by Mr Benson was next to the highest priced animal sold in the sale. These purchases were made at New London, Mo.
 At Mexico, Mo-, Mr. Benson was again in the limelight in the purchase of quality SOW, buying Miss Big Jones" sired by Big Jones" he being a product of "Gertsdale Jones" one of the best hogs in Missouri, and once the highest priced hog in that state. This SOW is bred to "Buster Clans man" one of the best sons of the s18,000 "Clansman," owned by WI. Wrigley Jr. of Lake Geneva, III. Mr. Benson also purchased three more bred sows at private treaty.
 These hogs, from some of she best bloodlines in the United States will make MT. Benson's herd one of the most prominent in Arkansas and the southwest.
