products so effectively that more
pork was consumed in the T. S.
than in any previous year, This
could not have been accomplished
without the national packers
branch houses, car routes and
distributing facilities to every town
and hamlet in the country. Due
to their efforts to find a market
for the farmers products arriving
in such unprecedented volume, the
per capita consumption of pork
increased more than one pound a
month during the year.
The ability of the packers to give
national distribution, to finance
larger purchases than current de-
mand warranted and their facilities
for protecting the future needs
Of consumers, averted a farm dis
aster that would probably o have
been felt in commodity prices all
over the country.

1t was in connection with her new
work that Mrs. Thompson was COM
ing to Americas at the time of TIE

handling organized evangelistic
classes for MIR. Reed, Mrs. Thomp-
son occupied her time in getting
up year books and church direc-
tories. and one of these had recent
Nv been issued in Americas, but
final details of the transaction had
not been closed up. Miss Tanner
and Mr.. Bussey, close friends of the
injured woman, had been asked to
come with her to Americas on
pleasure trip, Mrs. Hardie explain
ed Mrs. Thompson is vice7presi-

headquarters in Atlanta, and in con-
nection with this work she recently
visited here consulting at that time

activities in this section. The
statement that Mrs. Thompson was
coming to Americus to sing in tie

according to Mrs. Hardie, Mrs.
Thompson being only a member of
the chorus at Atlanta Central Bap-
list church, although she is liz
tensely interested in religious acti-
vities. Both my daughter and my
self, said MRS. Hardie, regret ex-
ceedingly that mention has been
made in press reports of anyone
else in connection with, and we
want to express our thanks heartily
to the people of Americas for the
beautiful courtesies shown Mrs.

well enough to be moved to Gaines

Government figures show how
tho collapse was averted. The nat

both producer aud consumer,
bought hogs no matter how many
were offered and regardless OF the
demand for the meat products.
They have no control over either
supply or demand. Armour and
Company, for instance bought
during the year more than 100000
600 hog5,--over 20 percent more
than the year before.

KeIIOgg's Bran delights father
by hringing health 10 children

Poor little kids-they needed bran
badly. But they wouldn't eat ordi-
nary brans. They didn t like them.
Most folks don t. Then their father
tried Kellogg's Bran, cooked and
krumbled. What difference! He
tells the story in his letter:
''Dear Sirs:
wish to express my appreciation
OF your krumbled bran, which | have
used for my children this summer.
We had great deal Of trouble with
them through constipation, and bran
had been the most satisfactory rem
edy but they could not be induced to
take the old varieties because
they disliked them so. They enjoy the
krumbled bran and consider it an
essential ingredient Of their porridge
No one whose children have not been
troubled in this way can appreciate
the relief there is in having their
bowels move regularly"

 ',This will be the spiritual task of tle united Protestant forces of the city and will enlist the activity of more than 100 congregations in a united eff fort that will have a tremendous moral influence upon the life of the city.
 Evangelist John Brown and asso- ciates have the experience of victorious years of service back of them and a record of achievement that has been nationwide. His return engagements in many Of our larger cities are pre- eminent proof of his ability in his chosen field.
 Birmingham needs spiritual revi- val. We have city whose moral tone is way above the average, but we are not the spotless town by any means.

Haarmann Trial Concludes Third
 Day InI Germany
(By Associated Press)

HANOVER, Germany, Dec. G. Much of the third day of the trial of Fritz Haarmant, the Hanover butcher, for the murderfof nearly 30 young men since 1918, wis taken up with expert testimony regarding box of human bones, which jhad been placed in evil dcnce. Expeits testified that the bones for the most part were those of young men under p years of age.
 As the trial proceeds it becomes more evident thai Haarmann has no realiza- tion of thd seriousness of the deeds charged a9inst him. To the most re- volting qu1stions he replies detachedly. Death, awtiting him or inflicted on his alleged victims, seems to have no meaning.
