Notwithstanding the existence of

The police explain, however, that
practically all men who have been ar

been planned by delegates of the Ia
Dor federation of Guatemala and Sal

to become members. Plans for the
organization contemplate the appoint

one delegate from each state, its head
quarters shifting every two years to
the capital Of different republic This
supreme council would serve for two
years, and would elect it's own presi-
dent, treasurer, secretary and assistant
secretary. 1t would begin operation on
Sept. Is, 1921.
The authority of this council would
extend to all labor problems, whether

There are Big-Type Poland, Duroc-
Jersey and Chester White associations
in this section and the tendency now
is to make one big combination. This
does not mean that the individual
units will not be maintained, and
separate sales held. but 1T does mean
that all pureblood hog men can work
in harmony for the good Of the whole,
and for the upbuilding Of registered
live stock.
This is the very heart of co-opera-

all else fails. Every sale of each
breed will be an advertisement for
all members who breed that kind OF
