Hog Prices Jump

Almost overnight, reports the Insti

significant change has occurred in the
livestock and meat situation. Hogs,
which had been selling for months on
the Chicago market at prices around
81 per 100 pounds, and which as re-
Gently as July 1 sold for an average
price of $500, suddenly advanced as
receipts slackened, and toward the
close of the month just ended
reached an average price of about
1918 and top price of more than
$11-the highest since October, 1922.
During the last two and one-half
weeks alone the price advance has
been more than cents pound.

sufficient protection for
some classes of work.
Where the job can be en-
closed, open coke stoves
or salamanders may be
used. In severe weather,
with the temperature well
below the freezing mark,
such protection should be
continued for at least five
days. The concrete should
be protected as soon as
placed in order to retain
the heat.
Care should be taken
that the concrete is strong
enough to bear a load be-
fore the forms are re-
moved. This can be
determined by pouring hot
water on the concrete or
by heating in some other
way to be sure that the
concrete has hardened and
not merely frozen.

Cleansing cream is almost always

they have polished it like the handle on

A dry skin does not attract so much

SAYS OIL IN IDAHO
Professor 6ergdF1al Lectured at the
Court House Wednesday Evening
on Oil and Coal in Idaho

All geological formations neces-
sary for coal and oil are 10 ge found
in Idaho, in the opinion of Prof
Fritiof Bergdhal, South American and
South African geologist, who lectured
lat the court house Wednesday night.
Rocks of he Cretaceous period
the backbone of oil formations ac-
cording to Professor Bergdahl run
from the Gulf of Mexico through sew
eral states, across Idaho, go north
into Alaska and thence into Siberia.
Along this line are found the flourish
ing oil wells and in its neighborhood
are many of the richest coal de-
posits, the professor explained.
Inasmuch an Idaho is considered
a scondemed area" he told how fine
coal fields have been brought in in
condemned areas He presented his
own theories on the formation of oil
deposits and gave theoretical proofs.
The professor, who has been in
Idaho the last six weeks studying
mineral deposits, has travelled exten-
sively. At one time he was engineer
of A division, Western Transvaal
Africa, for the British government.
He also worked in the diamond mines
of South Africa and was associated
with J. Dale Lace. He investigated
coal and solified petroleum deposits
in Chile and his report was accepted
by the Chilean government.

AT THE RAUeH THEATRE


How hard must a cultured and re-
fined. type of her cold -blooded society
girl be shocked to take the prudish-
ness out of her? How much of the
primitive herman do women in gem
eral like to find in their mates? It's
an interesting question, that would in
volve hours of discussion, but the
time would be wasted since a clear
perturbation of the whole question
comes to the Baugh Theater Friday
and Saturday, January 4th and 5th,
when the special production THE
Absymal Brute will be shown. "The
Absymal Brute" is Jack London's fam
Gus novel of the squared circle in
which Reginald Denny stars for the
screen, with Mable Julienne Scott as
the leading lady.
Sunday, January 6th, will be shown
"The Queen of the Moulin Rouge"
which for years has been a popular
stage success but has never been made
into entertainment for the silver screen
until a short time ago. The story is
of the underworld, and yet is a picture
that uplifts and benefits. "The Queen
of the Moulin Rouge" is a story that
will never grow old. and will always
furnish thrills and suspense and royal
entertainment for even the most hlase
of theater-goers.
A remarkable insight into the do
mestic controversy that can arise over
the simple matter Of living in New
York mansion with a million dollars
to spend is offered in "The self Made
Wife" the Universal all-star photoplay
which comes to the Baugh Theater
and Tuesday January 7th and

around the experiences OF a young
married couple who are getting along
