Belgian Socialists Enter
 Upon Whirlwind Campaign

BRUSSELS, April 1.-The Social ists are the most active and present a more united front, than either the Conservatives or the Liberals in the intensive political campaign now un- der way in preparation for the Bel gian elections April 5.
 Of the great political parties divid- ing the entire representation of the last chamber, the socialists were the first to get their electioneering go- ing full blast, and there are many political observers who believe that unless the Conservatives under Pre- mier Theunis and the liberals head ed by M Hymans, get together on a common platform, the left group has splendid opportunity of coming back with clear majority.
 The Socialists are especially strong in the Ghent cotton mill district. where the party now owns some ten mills, both spinning and weaving, have their own commission purchas- ing houses for raw material and their own private bank. The so-called bourgeois and capitalist parties ora tors have been making many caustic comments to the effect that the So- cialist party is the greatest capitalist in Ghent.
 The Activists, who came into prom thence during the German occupation through their dealings with German Governor Generals Won Bissing and Von Falkenhausen, are conducting a very bitter campaign, calling for the complete separation of Flanders from Wallon.

FARMERS ARE URGED
TO INCREASE HOGS
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRI.
CULTURE RECOMMENDS AT
TENTION TO PRODUCTION.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture has issued a statement
urging the farmers of the south to
raise more hogs. The department says:
"At the present time the south is
far from self-sustaining in the matter
of its pork supply. In 1923 Georgia
had to bring in nearly 100000
pounds of meat Yet Georgia is one
of the leading southern states in hog
production. Some parts of the south
that are adapted to hog raising are
almost wholly dependent upon sup
plies shipped in from other sections.
The south is overlooking an oppor-
tunity to raise more hogs probably.
While not laying down any hard-and-
fast rules for every farmer, the de
partment suggests that on most farms
the cropping system should first make
provision for the home needs and then
give attention 10 the main money crop.
Surplus time remaining after these
primary needs have been taken care
of should be devoted to supplement-
airy money crops, and among such
hog raising will often hold first place. .
1t further believes that certain sec
tions not producing many hogs at
present are better adapted to hog
production than any other class OF
live stock, and should increase hog
production materially.

B0BBED HAIR TANGLE
SMOOTHED IN COURT
JUDGE DECIDES WIFE MAY
ADOPT STYLE, AND PENAL
lies HER HUSBAND.

DEACON, N. Y.-Some martyrs
haven't made out as well as some 9TH
ers. Mrs. Raymond Newman, house
wife, is one of the very few who have
made out not so bad
Mrs. Newman had long, strong hair.
She thought she should have it bobb-
ed Her husband thought she should
not. They discussed it, debated it and
finally argued about it. Mrs. Newman
had her hair bobbed.
Husband Slow to Forget
To show his aversion her husband
quit her and their FIVE children Mrs.
Newman knew she couldn't make
Raymond like her bobbed hair, but
she had an idea she could make him
support the family. She waited until
the early part of August for Raymond
to cool and become rational. Ray
mond didn't cool, so Mrs. Newman
did what she thought best
She had her husband arrested and
brought back from Poughkeepsie, to
which place he testified in court he
had gone to seek employment.
Gets Six Months Sentence.
Finally Newman threw himself on
the mercy of the court After hearing
both sides OF the case the judge sem
fenced Newman to sixsmonths in the
county jail-with sentence suspended
just so long as Newman worked and
supported his family, and laid off
scolding his wife about her bobbed
hair.
AT points Judge Hassett warmed to
his subject saying, in part:
What difference should it make to
you whether your wife has her hair
bodied or not so long as she conducts
your household as it should be kept,
and in comfort? She doesn't try to tell
you that you shouldn't let your hair
grow, does she2 Practically the same
thing. If she doesn't want TO wear
hair that is long, cumbersome and in
her way she had the right 10 have
it bobbed. Courts adjourned"

INCOMES MOVE UP
FROM 1909 TO 1921
MANY PERSONS HAVING GAIN
Full OCCUPATIONS MAKE NO
RETURN TO GOVERNMENT.

For the years from 1909 to 1921 the
income of the American people had d
continuous upward trend, according to
the National Bureau of Economic Re
search. In other words, il rose from
$67 ,254000,0 900 to 4,158.000,000 in
1920, but declined to $62 100000 in
1921.
The results revealed that for the
thirteen years under review the hypo-
thetical average person" had more
than doubled the number of dollars
constituting his current income, and
that even when this income was re-
duced to dollars OF 1913 purchasing
power his ecopomic position had been
considerably improved, although in
relatively much less degree. Measured
in current dollars, per capita income
rose from 5000 in 1909 to a peak OF
$697 in 1920. and even in 1921 stood
at $50. The purchasing power of this
per capita income in terms of 1913 dol
lars was represented by 1912 in 1909
rose to 1901 in 1917, and closed the
period at 1884 in 1921.
The average nominal income of the
'gainfully occupied" also virtually
doubled during the thirteen-year pc
Rod, according to the summary
Changes in the purchasing power o.
this income, however, were much
smaller in extent, but nevertheless the
average in recent years has been con-
siderably higher than in the earlier
ones, indicating a persistent increase
in the economic welfare of the nations
money makers"
The report shows that while O.
602, 900 persons filed income tax re
turns in 1921 there were 40,819,00C
persons in gainful occupations, leaving
more than 34,000,000 who made no in
come tax return ''The average nom
inal income of the gainfully employed
doubled during the thirteen years pc
