OBITUARY

Funeral services for Anton c. Dziok
were held from the st. Mary's Cath
Ollie church at Willow River at 10 a.
M, Monday, Jan. 10th. Mr.. Dziok
had been with his sons, Frank and
Stanley, at Grantsburg, Wis.,, where
they are in the lumber business. The
boys were away and expected home
Tuesday by their father who went to
the office to light the fire and warm
it up. His clothes caught on fire
and he rushed out, closed the door
behind him, and threw himself in the
snow in an effort to extinguish the fire,
but before succeeding in doing so
he was severely burned. He evidently
did not realize he was so badly burn
ed as he asked those who came to
help him to try to save the building
which had also caught fire. Mr..
Dziok was rushed to the Frederic
hospital at Frederic, Wis, where he
was attended by DR.. Arveson and a
special private nurse. Frank and
Stanley remained at the hospital with
him and every possible care and at
tention was given him that he might
recover. About the seventh day the
doctor thought there was a possibility
of his recovery but the wounds were

market is good; but it is mistake
to start raising market herd and
quit before the job is really fin
ished.
Judging from prices of the past
few months, a fat hog is the one
that is commanding a premium
and. experts say, will continue to
do so for some time. That is be-
cause of the large numbers Of I'M
finished hogs that have been and
Using the Chicago hog market for
a day in mid-December. 1924, a
ITO Id. hog brought s1410, while a
265 10. hog brought $26.55, or a diff
ference of SEAS.
The average hog raiser knows
that it takes about 400 lbs. Of corn
and 40 lbs. of tankage to bring in
that last 100 lbs. of weight, or in
dollars and cents, approximately
$1,000 for the last 100 lbs. in feed
expense, leaving more than $2.25
per pig for the additional trouble.
Shipping weights of hogs are re-
flected in the feed crop. Last year
the corn crop in many sections was
small and therefore most of the
hogs sent to market ranged around
the IT'S Id. class. Unless relative
market prices on either hogs or
feed are extremely abnormal, it
pays the raiser to go through with
his feeding program up to that
stage where he can secure the
greatest benefit from his efforts
and the best market price for his
pork.

Many years Of study and expert
ment have ended uncertainty as to
what is best for the hog, says a
recent report. In pork raising, as
in building up any other source of
profit on the farm, much can be
learned through the experience Of
others.
The U. s. Government and Agri-
cultural Colleges spend big sums
each year at their experimental
stations. Both the Government
and the Agricultural Colleges issue
literature which tells about these
experiments in detail. Anyone in
terested can secure the literature
without cost by writing the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture or such
Agricultural Experimental Stations.
The great value in Government
bulletins lies in the fact that they
are based on the results Of obSer-
walton and study by trained, ex-
perienced men and at an expense
which makes it prohibitive for the
farmer to make these experiments
himself.
Generally speaking, hogs have a
normal period of growth and de-
velopment. Many raisers ship be-
fore the hogs are finished-others
hold their hogs and feed them be-
yond the period that the herd
would be most profitable for them.
It is natural, with high feed prices,
that the raiser is reluctant to hold
his hogs any longer than absolutely
necessary. even though the hog

CRASH INQUEST
CONTINUED

The inquest which was started
Sunday night at Triangle, Va,
into the death of Walter G. HamiI-
ton, Baltimore engineer, and which
resulted in the holding of Anita
Poll 20, Of Richmond, Va, under
a $4,000 bond. will be resumed at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning at
Manassas, Va, the county seat of
Prince William County.
Miss Poll is said to have been
the driver Of an automobile that
first struck a Washington car and
then crashed into Hamilton's ma.
chine, completely wrecking it and
crushing Hamilton to death. The
accident occurred Sunday morning.
When the inquest was started,
Dr. e. H. Marsteller, coroner, found
that he was handicapped by lack
OF legal advice, so decided to con-
tlnue the hearing until tomorrow
to permit Commonwealth Attorney
Thomas H. Lion, of Prince William
county, being present.
Miss Poll, who was the most
composed Of any of her family of
-FOUR who attended the beginning
OF the inquest, Is the first woman
to ever be held in that county
under such a heavy bond and the
first to be held, even technically,
responsible for the death of a per.
son in traffic mishap.

traffic were a surprise to traffic
officials, who expected to find it
one of the busiest streets. Six
teenth Streets most congested
point is at Columbia Road, where
the count was ISIS. This is less
than in 1925, when a count showed
2,918.
Cause Not Determined
Whether or not the traffic lights
are the cause of the diminished
traffic could not be determined, A
comparison of Sixteenth Street
with Fifteenth and Seventeenth
Streets between Massachusetts Ave-
nue. and U Street showed that Six.
teenth Street carried about 1900.
Fifteenth, 900 and Seventeenth LOO.
Traffic on Rhode Island Avenue
between Connecticut Avenue and
Fourteenth Streets, where traffic
lights have been installed, showed
a decided drop. 1t varied from
1,1OO to 1900, this time, In COM
parison with about 3,400 two years
ago. Officials believe, however.
that when the lights are continued
up Rhode Island Avenue these fig
ures will be changed.
Pennsylvania Avenue traffic is
increasing, the count revealed. Two
years ago it was only 1924 at
Eighth Street.

MAN IS JAILED,
DEF|ED COURT

William H. Pearce, 2g0s Pom
eroy Rd. s. E., was ordered ar
rested today and sent to jail for
contempt Of court because of his
failure to comply with a decree of
the District Equity Court. The
decree was signed by Justice Sid
dons and the order of commitment
for contempt was signed by Justice
Bailey.
The order today marks the cul-
mination of long and unsuccess-
ful neighbours fight between Pearce
and James f. Scott, 1921 Pom
eroy Rd. s. E.
Their differences started in 1925.
when Pearce built a wall on his
land which damned up the rain
water that fell, causing 1t to back
up into SCOTS yard, filling his
basement and necessitating the use
Of a row boat by Scott and his
family in getting to and from the
house during high rains.
They fought the matter through
the lower courts, Pearce taking it
up to the Court of Appeals, where
he lost. The lower court held that
Notwithstanding the fact the wall
was on Pearce's land, it consti.
tuted a nuisance and ordered he
raze the wall.
Pearce refused to comply with
the mandates of the lower court.
which were sustained by the higher
court. He will remain under arrest
until the order is complied with.
