PIG CLUB BOYS WILL HOLD
COLLEGE PIG" CONTESTS

All boys in the county who cannot
secure registered pigs for the Pig
Club Contest should secure good
grade pigs weighing from sixty to sew
enty-five pounds and join the Go-To-
College Porker Club Contest. They
should secure their pigs by the mid
die of April or first of May and feed
them until September 18th, or Oc-
tober ST., keeping accurate records as
to the weights of the pig and the
amount and kinds of feed fed them.
A pig to begin with of this type
should be bought for $400 or $500
and if properly grown out will bring
IN cooperative sale from $4,000 to
$4,000 and stand chance of winning
prize from $3.50 to $1,000. When the
pigs are sold it is advisable to take
out enough money from the price re-
celved to buy another pig and enter a
similar contest to come off the follow
ing April and deposit the money in
the bank, save the cost of a pig each
time and in this way boy will soon
have saved enough money to pay his
expenses in college for one or two
years. In this way any ambitious
boy desiring an education can secure
it without very little cost to his par
ents.
Boys entering this kind of contest
will have the same advantages in win
ming prizes as those in the Registered
Pig Club Contest. 1t does not differ
as to the sects Of the pig although bar
rows are preferable as they are usual
ly the best feeders. / am real anx-
ious to have one hundred boys in this
contest. Any boy wishing to enter
will please let me know as early as
possible. .If
Yours very truly,

Griner Announces
Platform For Mayor
TO THE VOTERS
OF FITZGERALD:

In announcing my candidacy for
mayor of the City of Fitzgerald I
am not unmindful Of the grave prob
lens that confront our once prosper
Gus and happy little city
For more than month 1 have
realized that the next mayor of the
City of Fitzgerald must serve an un-
settled and disturbed people and that
every ounce of his manhood will be
tested many times.
This is not day of petty political
trlckery to get some smooth polite
ian into office; nor is it a time when
any proposition is to be handled
with fear or favor, we will work out
our own salvation only by getting
into the collar and doing the work
ourselves. | have made up my mind
that every man is due his town, his
county and his state service and
that if by giving every ounce of en-
ergy there is in me to my people for
the next two years I could in nv
humble way restore them only to hap
piness, I will have fulfilled Gods
calling on earth.
1t will be my purpose to ask your
support on strictly PROGRESS
SIVE PLATFORM. The laws of
the land today are such that it is
not question Of personal preference,
but has the man the back bone to
enforce the laws. If you see fit to
elect me your mayor it Will not be
said of me that he has not the moral
courage to carry out the laws.
1t shall be my purpose to try to
interest industries in coming to Fitz-
gerald; / am great believer in pay
rolls, each week and each month: 1t
will be my purpose to extend paw
ing, water and lights, where needed,
thereby giving employment to many
hundreds of people. Improve if not
build new, first ward school build
ing. l would favor public park that
would interest and entertain our
children. that would be guarantee
against their being raised in the
streets. would favor school sys-
tenn, regardless of cost, that would
make us all proud to say our boy or
girl graduated from Fitzgerald High
School. A man that would place
low tariff for support on his school
is an undesirable citizen and l do
not want his support.
Any sensible man will fight to
keep taxes as low as possible. You
shall have low taxes if in nv power
and you want them. Your tax rate:
you and your aldermen will carry
out My observation is that any town
with no taxes to pay is wide place
in the road. veryN few people know

If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or

Clarence, Pa.-Her husband dead,

Mrs. J. L. Martin, a widow and moth
er of nine children, living in a three
room shack In this little mountain

may live.
Driven to the last desperate ditch OF
poverty, this mother is willing to
sacrifice the only thing Of value that
misfortune has left her and Is ready
to part with her two youngest and
prettlest babies. With a hand that
Jagged at every letter and eyes that
scarce could see, she wrote her ap-
peal as follows:
Willing to Make Sacrifice.
'For Sale-Two blue-eyed, light
haired little girls, four and half and

Chain invited those inclined toward
those pastimes TO follow suit or pay

the cieaning-up process has gone on,
and when recently he personally
brought in two or three stills, lot
of other illegal paraphernalia, and an
automobile load of evidence" he de-
clared that it had been a "slow"

Chain is regarded as a modern
Robin Hood throughout southern West
Virginia, and there are as many tales

tached to his name as to the doughty
monarch of Sherwood forest. The
sheriff's domain, however, is Logan

taineer type, he is credited with be-
ing absolutely fearless and handy with
pistol whenever occasion demands
although 1t is told throughout that
section Of the state that he wears a
coat of flexible chain mail next to his
body at all times.
A great deal of romance is attached
to the Sheriff's office by the mountain
GERS, and the incumbent is held in
varlably in the highest regard be-
cause of the many times that he is
called upon to face danger personal
ly. He is not the man to whom the
