When Louise's father, King Leo
pold IL, died an arrangement was
effected whereby the government al
lowed her 100000 francs to pay her
debts. A court arbitrator was ap-
pointed to verify the claims of the
creditors, but the work was inter
rupted by the war and was not COM
pleted until after the armistice
Among the claimants We're many
German and Austrian storekeeperS
and money lenders and the payments
awarded them were sequestered.
Louise appealed against the de-
cision of the arbitrator, maintaining
that the Germans and Austrians to
whom she owed money should be
paid in marks and crowns at the cur
rent value of those moneys: in other
words, that their claims be salts
fed with a few sous and that a sub
stantial part Of the 100000 francs
be returned to Louise. 1t is ex-
pected that the hearing of the case

HOG RAISING IN
FALLON COUNTY

Hog raising in Fallon county OF
which Baker is the county seat, took
a long step forward in 1928, accord
ing to j. o. Hembre. county agent,
who was in Miles City recently. With
the aid of the local banks, the club
boys of the county were enabled to
put about $1,000 into pure-bred Dur
oc Jersey gifts in April. The county
agent supervised the buying of the
pigs as we'll as the distribution of
them to the boys and also negotiated
the loans from the banks. The boys
more than doubled their money dur
ing the season and besides there are
about 80 more purebred sows left in
the county besides the original num-
Der.
Lawrence Stevens one of the club
boys, figured out his receipts and ex-
penditures as follows and most of the
others did as we'll:
His total receipts amounted to
$191, and total disbursements to sos.
leaving a total profit for the season
of $95. This young club member in
an itemized statement shows he paid
the following prices, cost of gilt and
freight, $37.75; value of feed, $40;
value of milk, $5.08; value of pas
lures, IS; fee for breeding SOW, So
so; insurance, $1.40; hauling pigs to
the fair, So; fees for registering,
$2.75.
He itemized his receipts as fol-
lows: original SOW, $50; two young
sows, $32; sold three pigs for $54;
one boar worth $40; two barrows,
at $24, and won $11 in prizes.
The keeping of accounts in the
work is a part of the obligation of
every club member, and it is pointed
out that the same policy could be
applied by all farmers to excellent
advantage, so that the waste could
be eliminated and loss could be turn
ed into profit.
