WATERFCaD WOODLAND IS
 SWEPT BY BIG FIRE

Forest fires that started Tuesday afternoon, burned through the night and which were still raging in some sections Wednesday, swept over sev- e"al square miles of the town of Wa terford. The farming residents of that section were thrcwn into a somewhat panicl1y state at times An area ex- tending from the Golden Spur in a northerly, and nogthwesterly direction through to and beyond Butlertown was burned over and the charred area was reported Wednesday as extending to the Lattimer's mills section of Ches- te~fiell.
 Inquiry at the home of Fire Warden George Chappen of the Lakes Pond section elicited the information that the fire which swept through into Flanders, was understood to have Gtarted on the old Thomas Daniels farm in Chesterfield when the tenant, Peter Truken undertook to burn over portion of the pasture. It was re- ported that MT. Truken had started a fire to burn up some brush. The flames quickly spread to the adjacent wood lot. which is said to be owned by MT.

sideration.
The fuel problem is now under
study by very capable fact-finding
commission and any attempt to deal
with the coal problem OF such deep
concern to the entire nation, must
await the report of the commission.
Living Costs
'"rhe wide spread between produc-
ton costs and prices which consum-
e-s pay concerns every citizen of the
republic. 1t contributes very largely
to the unrest in agriculture and must
stand sponsor for much against
which we inveigh in that familiar
term-the high cost of living.
mo one doubts the excess is trace
able to the levy of the middleman,
but it would be unfair to charge him
with all responsibility before we APP
praise what is exacted Of him by our
modernly complex life. We have at
tackled the problem on one side by
the promotion of cooperative mar
keting, and we might well inquire
into the benefits of cooperative
buying. Admittedly the consumer is
much to blame himself. because of
his prodigal expenditure; his exac-
ton of service, but government
might well serve to point the way
of narrowing the spread of prices,
especially between the production of
food and its consumption.
"A super-power survey of the east
ern industrial region has recently

of steam, water and electric powers

SWIFT WILL BOOST HOG
GROWING AT ANDAL USIA

Andalusia, Ala, December s.-(Spe-
cial. )-With the announcement today
that Swift & Co. has opened their
local market for live stock, including
cattle and principally hogs, comes
the opening this week of the plant

days on account of the. inability to
secure government inspection and the
necessary supplies at once.
Although Swift & Co. expect 10 op-
crate this season just SO long as the
supply of hogs and cattle holds up.
they anticipate a greater production
each succeeding year. Interest among
the business men here has already
become aroused to the Importance of
a bigger hog production, and plans
are now on foot, for a campaign to
encourage every farmer to raise more
hogs, thus helping himself financially
in case other crops do not measure
