Aaswer-If you are thinking Of

under the idea that you would be OBJ
tanning AN investment you would be
committing "A grevious error, in our
opinion. and should not do It,
We do not mean to reflect In any
way on the company nor its pro-
moters, for so far as we know the
scheme Is a legitimate one and per
haps will make good in time. But II

The Farm and Farmer
BY WILLIAM r. sANsoRN

chased from a trader in 1865 and ex-
pired at the ripe old age of SO years
in 1900. She was owned by the same
family all those years, as the letter
from her owner attests.
The writer states that this SOW was
bought by his father, who died in
1890, and then became his property.
A record was kept as to the number
Of her progeny, which totaled $50 pigs.
Figuring these at 800 pounds at time
of sale, and at an average price of
four cents per pound, her earnings
were $4,000.
Honored With Marker
Black Betty's owner writes that
"she was buried on the home farm,
and her resting place is honored with
a marker, which reads:
Born 1864, Died 1900.
In memory of Black Betty, aged So
years, who brought into this pork-lov-
ing world during her strenuous life
$50 children, aggregating 255,000
pounds of pork, valued in the markets
of the world at $4,000, this memorial
stone is erected"
The writer lived near Lynchburg,
Tenn, at the time of writing, says the
editor, whom, sad to relate, fails to
give the name Of his correspondent
who wrote him several years ago.

CHILEAN MINERS MAY
MAKE COAL FIELDS
CLOSE ALL SALOONS
(By Associated Press)


SANTIAGO, Dec. S.-Coal fields in
southern Chile will become dry" soon
If provision of an agreement just
signed between the miners and oper-
ators is enacted into law, and the
fields may even become bone dry"
if a measure now before parliament
is adopted. The agreement apparent
ly has settled long standing contro-
employers over questions of wages
and hours of work, and says among
other things:
"The representatives of the COM
panies and workmen agree TO ask the
public authorities TO declare the coal
region completely dry, prohibiting the
introduction and sale of alcoholic
drinks. While this measure is being
enacted, they ask the prohibition of
sale of liquor during pay days"
The newspaper, Ultimas Noticias,
commenting on the provision. says it
is worthy of note that the prohibition
movement in Chile is supported with
great strength by labor" The news
paper asks early enactment Of a mea S.
ure introduced some months ago by
Deputy Adrien, of the Democratic
party, to which large element of Ia
Dor belongs. which forbids "the intro
duction, manufacture. sale or con-
sumption of any kind of distilled or
fermented drinks not only in the coal
fields but in the nitrate regions as
well.
The bill has not yet been debated
in the chamber.
