DAY OF PURE BRED HOG
 IS AT HAND SAYS REID

The opportunity to replace the scrub hog with the purebred is here, says T. Roy Reid,. agent in live stock market
 ing of the agricultural extension divis- ion. The depressed condition of all markets have been strongly reflected in the prices for good purebred sows and boars. This seems inconsistent in the face of large production of corn and a decreased supply of hogs, but at recent sales of purebred hogs of the better type the average prices for which the animals sold were little bet ter than meat animal prices. A few purebred sows and good purebred

 took from his inside pocket d small package and handed it to tine young lady in question, T think 1t best to acquaint you, in my imperfect way, with the state of my feelings. To come to the point in as brief and practical a manner as possible, sparing you all the unnecessary details, I may you. From the moment that | first met you was fully aware that this was inevitable. The more I set my mind against it, the more struggled to con- troi myself-to be strong-the more hopelessly I became involved. You will naturally ask at once why I should struggle against passion which Is admitted by all to be the source of the greatest happiness known to humanity. But l could not regard the matter in a selfish light It was done, Miss Clara, because have do1bted all along whether man in my circumstances had it in his power to make girl like yourself. who has been reared in such luxury, entirely happy in the new and changed con- ditions that matrimony leads to. Was it right in me, said to myself, to jeopardize your happiness by asking you to share the lot of one, who, while his present salary is fairly com fortable one, is not at the same time prepared to say positively that he will succeed? have now put the case before you. l know you to be a sensi- bic girl, and one whose munitions I am sure will lead you aright.

 Hastily breaking the seal the young girl he addressed gazed for brief interval at the beautiful object that lay in her hand. Then advancing swiftly to where he stood she threw her arms around the neck of the man who had so worthily won her. ex- claiming with a glad cry:

HEFLIN OPTIMISTIC
 OVER 1921 OUTLOOK
Reserve Bank Manager Says Situation
 Is Not Bad.

An optimistic feeling for the future of business was expressed yesterday by John T. Heflin, manager of the Memphis branch of the Federal Re- serve Bank. He believes business is about at its bottom and expects bet ter conditions with the coming of a new year.
 In discussing matters generally MT. Heflin said:
 ~The principal suffers just now are the larger operators and, in less de- gree, the common labor. To some ex- tent skilled labor is affected, but the majority of the great middle class, salary earners, are in better financial condition than ever before in their lives. Their salaries were raised con- saferably during the war period; abili- ty and energy were given fuller reward, and now the purchasing pow CT of their dollar is greatly increased.
 The banking situation in the coun- ty, while admitted not normal, can- not be called bad. The banks are reducing their obligations and getting into better position to extend credits The federal reserve system is funct- ioning fully and a money panic is not possible.
 1.-The newspapers the emphasizing the importance of suspending the buy CTS strike, corresponding almost ex- actly to the post-armistic propaganda of buy now and directly in opposition 10 the publicity during the many recent months concerning exorbitant prices. The power of such publicity cannot be over estimated.
 An analyiis will show, I think, Hr. Heflin continued, "that the mum. Der of people and firms actually in. solvent is quite small, notwithstanding frequent reports to the contrary There are doubtless number who vii use their quick assets in paying theil eurrent liabilities. Some will put mori gages. on their realty in order to pay Heir debts at banks; but a man witt aSdeffered liability and no current debts is far from hopeless.

Factories are closing down and men are being laid off from work. Thous- ands and thousands of men are idle. If you live in the city and are out of work there is mighty poor chance to live.
 On farm there is a chance for every man to have enough to eat if he is wise enough to provide for his own necessities. Corn clubs, pig clubs and canning and poultry clubs are all aim ed in the direction of good supply as well as profit. Arkansas farmers must increase the production of food and feed for next fear. Let us set an ex- ample in club work and show them that corn and peas and beans and can ned fruits and vegetables, meat and eggs and milk are not only necessary things, but are the kind of things which will cary. farmers through a crisis like the present better than any, thing else.

VETERAN COMMISSIONER.
RESIGNS CITY OFFICE

4 Geo. c. Mccarthy for the past
twelve years an employee Of Lancas-
ter city, resigned his Office last Fri
day to take effect the following day.
On Saturday Mr. Mccarthy entered
the employ of F. P. Barnett in the
Dairy Products company where at
present he is installing the freezing
system. Mr.. McCarthy's place as
street and water superintendent was
taken by John Petersen who holds
these positions now along with city
marshal Mr. Petersen's salary viii
be 500 monthly
For ten years Mr. Mccarthy was
chief of police and looked after the
street and water works at the same
time. Two years ago he was relieved
Of the police work. His incumbency
was distinguished by his devotion to
duty and quiet but effective way OF
getting things done. George used
tact and diplomacy in police work but
when a thing was said it was meant
and everybody knew it, His many
friends will wish him every success
in his new line.
The new man. Mr.. Petersen, seems
to be giving general satisfaction and
will no doubt be as big a success as
his predecessor was.

Jack Green, tried yesterday for the

a jury. Green, charged with murder
in rhe first degree by the state, laid
in jail from the time Of the crime go
ing to trial Monday noon. A special
venire was necessary to empanel a
jury.
The principal witnesses were Green
and his daughters who testified in
substance as they did at the time Of
preliminary. Green took the stand
in his own behalf and stated that he
had warned Duncan from the prem
ises. This warning was disregarded.
The two daughters, May and Dena,
told Of illicit relations with Duncan
The state based it's case upon the
claim that Green acted without just
provocation in shooting Duncan, in
ferring that the homicide was not
necessary to effect Green's purpose
that Of obtaining his daughter from
the car. It endeayored to prove that
Green was not aware of a felony to.

THE VANISHING SUGAR.

Conrad Weftenhiller and Pete Johns
two joyial Platteville citizens, were in
Lancaster last Wednesday on a buy
ing trip. These men heard that sugar
could be had at the county seat and
astutely motored over and bought So
worth apiece. Thev then mctored
gaily home regaling each other with
tales OF what they would do with all
that sugar. "Coonrad's" imagination
was more fertile than Pete's and by
the time the car reached PlatteEille
Pete was reduced to a state of collapse
due to his mouth watering 50 much
But. alas! When Coonrad looked at
his sugar it was "alles ungerbunden
NIGHT" In other words the sack was
there but the sugar wasn't. a loose
chain in the box had torn hole in
the sack and bumps in the road ac-
-compIished the rest. So Pete laugh

the persons in the car were his daugh-
ter and Duncan.
The defense based its argument
upon justif1able homicide by claim
ing that Green to the best of his
knowledge felt sure that a felony was
soon to be committed and shot after
calling thrice for Duncan to stop the
car. It also made a strong appeal
to sentiment arguing that Green was
justified in preventing the wronging
Of his daughter by taking the means
he did
The jury was in deliberation from
80 to o'clock returning a verdict
as stated. Green went home with his
family at once.
Prosecutor f. G. Meyer assisted by
Geo. B. Clementson, who was called
into the case Monday, represented
the state Brennan & Carthew ap-
peared for Green. The argument on
both sides was exceptionally able.
The sordid details of the affair are
we'll known and will not again be re-
counted in this paper.
