TWO PIG LITTERS IN THREE WEEKS

Charles Caldwell of the town of
Troy, as successful hog raiser, pins
his faith to the Poland China. This
year he has five sows that are unit
eddy raising their five filters of a
total of forty-nine pigs. This is a
good foundation and indicates finan-
cial success and good farming meth
DDS, but it is only commonplace when
mention is made of another record
established by this drove of Poland
Chinas the present season.
A month ago sow of the drove
had litter of nine pigs. On Tues
day of last week, just three weeks
later, the same sow gave birth to a
second litter of ten pigs. That is,
nineteen living pigs in the two filters
which arrived just three weeks a.
part. This is said to be the first and
only time ever recorded of such an
incident.-Hudson STAR Observer.

Fine Flag Display
More May Be Ordered From Ameri
can Legion Officers
If Desired

Fifty American flags, displayed on
uniform standards in front of as
many business places along Main
street greeted the eye on the morn

The display was beautiful and
inspiring one, and it is hoped that the
few stores and offices not so equipped
will soon join with the others.
Resident owners, and some farm
ers, have since made application to
the local American Legion for these
flags and standards, and soon they
will be in evidence on appropriate
occasions throughout the entire com
munity.
The flags and standards can be
easily installed and removed, so that
the owner finds it an ideal arrange
ment.
Those who may wish to order this
equipment should notify Gerhardt

CITY BUYS CHEMICAL
TO LAY STREET DUST

The city of River Falls has ordered
a carload of calcium chloride to be
used on the residence streets this
summer to lay the dust.
This preparation has been proven
practical through long use in other
localities, and a few individuals have
purchased it for use here in front Of
their homes the past two years.
1t has the great advantage over TIE
use of oil in that it does not stick to
the shoes, to be tracked into homes
and stores.
When the carload arrives here it
will be sold to those who wish it at
cost price, and all who are interested
are requested to see City Clerk F. V.
Williams, who can give complete in
formation on the subject.
