Success I'm raising hogs depends on
two things--well-bred stock, both
sows and slres, and proper housing.
Well-bred stock is plentiful, and no
farmer IN these days of better farm
live stock can afford to breed or raise
scrubs" In every community. espe-
cially In the so-called corn belt
states. hogs are one Of the principal
farm products, and hlgh-bred, II not
registered purebred sires, are availa-
BILE. With start OF one or two well
bred sows and the service Of pure
bred boar, careful management will
insure a good profit In hog raising.
The second essentlal--good houses
is Just as available as good breeding
stock. During the last ten or more
years, architects who have made a
careful study OF the needs OF farm ami
mails have designed, and local con.
tractors have erected, thousands Of
buildings-barns, hog houses and
chicken houses-that provide the live
stock with houses where they can be
kept AT the highest state OF productive
~ and In the best OF health.
The product that farmers turn into
cash with their hogs is flesh. Both
can be obtained with scrub" stock,
hut the cost is prohibitlve. About the
same amount Of care will bring wei.

tural colleges than hog houses.

Dice Gaming Ancient Sport.

Gaming with dice and cards has pre-.
vailed from the earliest times. We
do not read Of gambling houses in the
classic literature Of Greece. but there
can be no doubt that the vice was very

Rome, under the emperors, gambling
prevailed extensively. Augustus and
most of the succeeding severe gins were
passionaiely fond Of the dice. and the
Emperor ClnudIus wrote u hook on the

IS WRONG
Farmers Oppose "Hedging Mar
ket" Before House Committee.
Did Not Ask Government To
Abolish Grain Exchanges.

Washington, Jan. 4.1The hedging
system long followed in the grain
trade was opposed today by represen-
tatiyes of farmers organizations who.
appeared at the first of a series of
extended hearings by the house agri-
cultural committee on bills designed
to put a heavy tax on strictly specuIa-
tive dealings.
There was no evidence, however,
to indicate that the organizations
wanted the government to abolish
grain exchanges. and while some wit
nesses declared present conditions
We're bad they were unable to offer
off-hand substitute plans which
might afford greater protection to
the grower. 1t was stated that rep
resentatiyes of the Chicago board OF
trade would present their side of the
case next week or later, after the
farmers had been heard.
c. H. Hyde of the Oklahoma Farm
ers' union. declared farmers of the
southwest opposed future speculative
trading as a whole. 1.-The buying of
futures may be necessary as an in
surance feature" he said, t'but we
want to see plan devised by which
insurance will not be necessa ry." Mr..
Hyde said the main grievance of
farmers was that they We're forced to
sell crops right after harvesting when
the price tendency was downward,
and that the benefit was reaped by

Z 1t has been stated authoritatively
that Great Britain's treatment of the
country now ruled by King Constan-
tho who was once dethroned by
Brftain's help, will be governed by the
value of the oil lands. 1t is expected
the same factor will determine the
courses of Italy and France. Greek

British On Inside.
While British authorities have been
on-committal the belief prevails that
they will approve any Greek govern
ment which will give them the inside
track in developing the oil fields.
Due to this, it was said, Great
Britain offered no protest when the
Constantine government took posses
sion of 2O0,000,000 drachmas remain
ing from the 400,000,000 drachmas
credit extended the former govern
ment by the allies. Constantine took
the money without authorization from

"A possibility that oil rights will be
used as an argument in the United

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
and that is to dissolve them
TIE do this get two ounces OF calonlte
powder from any drug store-sprinkle
little on 4 hot, wet sponge-rub over the
blackheads briskly-wash the parts and
you will be surprised how the blackheads
have disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever Black
heads are simply a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores Of the skin. pinching
and squeezing only cause irritation. make
large pores, and do not get them out after
they become hard. The calonite powder
and the water simply dissolve the black
heads so they wash right out, leaving the
pores free and clean and in their natural
condition. Anybody troubled with these
unsigthly blemishes should certainly try
this simple NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

To the Editor of the CAPITAL:

In two editorials recently you have expressed
the idea that it would be helpful to define the
'open shop" that is, we take it you mean, to
find out just what the fuss is about in Topeka.
l have no authority to speak for any one but
myself, altho, as far as l know, my position
agrees with that of other contractors here.
And since the union men struck on one of my
jobs, it may answer your question to tell you
my position.
believe laboring man has every right any
other man has. If he wants to join union,
that's his business. l never have, and never
will, discharge man, refuse to employ
man, because he belongs to union.
go further. 1 am entirely willing in the fu-
ture, as have in the past to make so-called
collective bargain with union officials and
live up to it.
The labor unions can help their men in many
ways, and every man has perfect right to join
them, and should never be denied work because
of that fact In many ways they are of service
to the employer, because it is much simpler to
contract with one man than dozen. When I
was an employee, 1 belonged to union.
There is no quarrel with over the wages
pay, or the hours of work, or the conditions
surrounding the work. Even an entirely un->
skilled worker, who is willing to work diligently
for eight hours, is entitled to enough to rear
and educate family. To that basic wage
should be added whatever mans skill or ex-
perience entities him to. AS long as the jobs 1
have will justify it, will pay that. And the
men are not quarreling with me over that.
What is the reason for the strike? Louis Van
Dorp is an honest and capable timer. You can
depend upon his materials and his workman
ship. Moreover he is the only Topeka man who
can be relied upon for certain classes of work.
and have in the past gone out Of Topeka to get
work done. because the unions had branded him
unfair. / had a sub-contract to let and let it to
him because l wanted the Jewish synagogue to
be good job. He employs good workmen and
pays them the union scale or better. Because
he wouldn't discharge men who have been in
his employ for thirty five years, am told he
called unfair. The only trouble with my
workmen was that they wouldn't go about their
