Buying Hogs for Their "Use'
Our People Have Money for Investing-to Get 1t Is
Largely Matter of Right Merchandising
By ELWOOD LLOYD

Most of US have heard the story OF
the hog transaction Of the Kentucky
mountaineer. Remember how it went:
He bought hog for so and turned it
out to pasture. Six months later he
needed some money and sold the hog
for SO.
A friend, upon being told the price
received for the porker, said, Sam,
you didn't make much profit on that
hog deal, selling it far the same price
you paid"
mo, 1 reckon I didn't make any
real profit as could be calculated
but ! he'd the use O. the hawg fer six
months" was Sans contented reply.
Judging from some of the letters
which come to my desk from readers
it would appear that Southern Cali
fornia has produced quite a stable
number of "hog buyers" during the
past two or three years-the principal
difference between them and Sam be-
ing that they are finding difficulty in
locating a market for their 'hawgs"
at even the price paid for them. These
hog" stocks, and shares, and units,
and undivided interests, have been just
during the interim as was Sans pro-
cine acquisition.
One dag, summer before last, ] went
on a ''suckertrip" to one of the wild
cat oil drillings in nearby field. i
listend TO the thrilling lecture of the
possibilities of great wealth from oil
as it was delivered to 1854 other per-
sons who had been beguiled into max
ing the trip. At the conclusion of the
mastery talk l saw 1853 persons in
the audience purchase one or more
undivided interests" in the wildcat at
a price of 500 each.
/ was particularly interested in the
audience which proved such good ma
terial for this silver-tongued orator
and his group of high7pressure sales
men. Here is little analysis of the
crowd, as copied from my notes of the
trip, made that day:
About so per cent of the persons
who had taken advantage of the days
trip were women, mostly along in the
late forties or older. There were very
few young folks. The men were most
ly farmers taking a respite from the
labors of rural life for the first time
in years. Many of the women were
widows of small town merchants or
farmers, with a scattering of school
teachers who had long been saving for
a rainy day. Most of these persons
were on a holiday from the old home
state, intent upon two things, first
momentary enjoyment, second the find
ing of means whereby the eventide of
life could be made more comfortable
and less strenuous than had been the
early years.
After the meeting / asked one of
the statesmen whether he had no com.
Functions about taking money from
these people. This is his reply, YER
batim, which is also copied from my
old notes:
Were not doing anybody any harm.

ily,7 negro sighed Wednesday night.
And his statement was not far
wrong, officers agreed. as they booked
the mans wife, his father-in-law. bis
two brothers-in-law and the wife's
first husband on aggravated assault
charges.
The trouble came up like a thun-
derstOrm; / didn't know what il was
all about" the husband told Detec-
tives Massey and MCGOWAN.
However, the host descended upon
him at his Vargas Street residence
soon after darkness.
In the ensuing melee, he received a
deep wound in the lip from a blow
by an iron pipe. He in return threw
the lamp into the midst of the at
tackers, and fled.

As a matter of fact we are doing tho
country good. We are adding to the
production Of the country. Most OF
these people have quit working. And,
darn it all, the suckers chief pursuit
of happiness is to get stung. We don't
do 'em any harm. We just send them
home q month earlier so they can
get settled down to earning some more.
Then they can come out again next
year and get trimmed some other way"
All these "hawg" buyers have had
the use of their hogs ever since. But
in view of the fact that the oil well
proved to be a dry hole, and the fur
Their fact that the promoters have de-
parted for other fields, the "use" of
the "hawgs" seems to be all they are
ever likely to have.
This is Just one example of many. 1t
is cited merely by way of illustrating
the fact that the people have savings
for investment. There are many
worthwhile investment opportunities
in this district and there is no need
of purchasing more "hawgs."
Incidentally, if the financial houses
which market dependable securities
we're one-tenth as active in showing
the people the value and security of
thier their offerings, as were the
"hawg" sellers, these savings. would
be released for the industrial upbuild-
ing of our territory and the greater
prosperity of our people as a whole.

SOCIALISTS BLOCK
PA|NLEVE TAX BILL
Refuse to Countenance
Measure That Fails to Put
Levy on'CapitaI.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS. November 7.-PremieI
PainleVe's plan for raising $500,
100000 francs to provide for France +
debts and restore her finances met
with a serious setback today almost
ns soon as the details of the plan
were made known.
NJ. Painleve had asked that the
bills he taken up Monday, and. hur-
fied through the Chamber and Senate
before the end Of the week. The
Socialists and radicals. however,
found that their provisions resemhled
so little the capital levy. which is an
essential part of the Socialist pro
gram. that they would be obliged to
reject the bills unless considera bly,
changed.
The premier's plan was handed 10
the finance committee of the Cham
her today. Ii is based on the eStab-
&shment of a sinking fund compris-
ing about 6,000,0 900 francs in new
taxes and resources already in the
budget for the payment of interest
on the floating debt of about 300,
100000 francs.
w Quiz Raise r una.
This total amount of $500, 900 900
francs would be raised annually for
IA years. to be administered by ID Spe-
Cial amortization commission com
posed of two Senators, two Deputies,
the governor of the Bank Of France
and other high government officials.
The plan generally is regarded as
simple rearrangement of NJ. CaillauX' s
projects, with the substitution of
special contributions" from property
owners based on incomes and profits
for the preceding finance minister's
proposed increase of the inheritance
taxes
The Socialists consequently gave il
cold reception. declaring that it fell
far short of the capital levy they in
sist upon. Even the radicals found
the system proposed so complicated
that they deferred judgment until
they had had time TO study it, while
members of other groups expressed
doubt as to the practicability of levy
ing contributions.
The additional receipts to be de-
rived from new taxes are estimated as
follows:
From a tax on real estate. OPS ,000,-
600; on stocks and bonds, 2,275 ,000,-
900; on French bonds. excepting short
term defense bonds, 1.404 900 900; on
Industrial and commercial enterprises,
96i 900 600; unproductive capital, So
10000 additional income tax, 206,-
900 900.

JAPANESE ROYALTY
ENTERTAINED HERE
Prince and Princess Asaka
to Be Coolidge Guests
on MayfIoWer.

Even foreign royalty, accustomed as
1t is to arduous social life, must bow
TO the mad whirl Of American gayety,
with its hustle, its hustle and its
almost continuous round of dinners,
parties, teas and the numerous other
functions that convention prescribes.
The Prince and Princess Asaka of
Japan. although only in the United
States for a few days. reached Wash
ington last night for q visit OF "a

grind of social activities. coupled with
many sightseeing trips in New York

Little Leisure Here.
The prince and princess, however.
did not find a moment for leisure after
reaching the Capital and probably
will not, as the social calendar is
crowded with a series of informal
events. giving them scarcely enough
time for u nights rest As a matter

was brought to them that the
Japanese Amba sSador, Tsuneo Matsu-

their presence at an informal dinner
rendered in their honor. There was
quick change of dress as bus boys
dashed frantically to and fro with a
score or more large steamer trunks.
To obviate some of the tiresome
and rigid formalIties. the prince and
princess are travelling incognito as

OWN PEOPLE SHUN
HERMIT OF OSAGE
John Stink, Thought Dead,
Crawls From Grave Alive.

Pawhuska, Okla.-A living ghost
among his own people is John Stink,
hermit of the Osages. Buried as dead
and resurrected from the grave, he
lives alone In tepee, an outcast from
his tribe, spirit Stunned.
John is sixty-two. He Is wealthy,
oil royalties alone bringing him more
than $1,000 a month. But he is shut
off from almost all communication, be-
cause he cannot speak English and
none Of his people dare talk with him.
Twenty-one years ago Ho-tah-moie,
came Ill of fever. He swooned and
in falling was knocked unconscious.
ALI the witchery of the Indian medi-
cine man could not restore him to con-
sciousness. So he was pronounced
dead and a few hours later was buried
with the tribal ritual.
The Usage custom was to bury the
dead in a shallow grave, the corpse in
sitting posture, with the head above
ground. Over the body they would
and mud, leaving the head alone un-
covered.
The cool earth and few hours
time restored John. He worked his
way out of the grave and crawled to
his tepee. 1t was night. Johns rela-
tives mistook the figure at the tepee
entrance for ghost. And to them he
has remained wrath ever since.
For some years Hotah-moie eked
out an existence in Pawhuska. His
only companions were dogs. With
them at least he could commune.
When oil came, guardian was ap-
pointed and fJohn was moved to his
own land near here. There he lives,
like an Indian of old, hunting, fishing
and talking to his dogs.

That Florida Nanny,
She's Boss of Miami

wv w. GATES, realtor, confesses
W. to being the author of this
Florida Nanny:
My Florida Nanny and Rastus and
Sammy
Don't live in a cabin no more;
They all got positions and earn big
commissions
By selling choice lots on the
shore.
My kind-hearted Nanny owns half
of Miami;
And old Aunt Jemina and Old
Black Joe
In old Tallahassee are rich and
classy;
They're rolling in diamonds and
dough.
They don't hoe potaters, they're all
real estaters;
They dabble in acres and plots.
The white fields of cotton have all
been forgotten
And serve now as choice building
lots.
The Mandy and Minnies, and pert
pickanninies,
Don't harvest the cotton and
cane,
But sell costly pieces, and property
leases,
To prospects from Jersey and
Maine.
