Champion Hog
Wins Way to Fame

1t may not be the sweetest story
ever told, but romance blossomed
and flourished between Hollywood's
newest star and his red-haired leading
lady.
The party of the first part is Blue
Boy, blue -blooded boar, who has since
been elevated to star rating for his
excellent performance in the Fox pro-
duction of Phil Strong's novel, Estate
Fair" coming to the Majestic theatre
in London April 10, 20, 21. The OBJ
ject of his affections rejoices in the
old-fashioned name of Esmeralda.
Esmeralda made her appearance on
the Estate Fair" set as an after
thought. Blue Boy was tempera-
mental. He refused to behave as any
self-respecting ham might be expected
to in the full glare of the lights and
with the cameras clicking, Will Rog-
ers, who shares honors in the all-star
production with Janet Gaynor, Lew
Ayres, Sally Eilers, Norman Foster,
Louise Dresser, Frank Craven and Vic
tor Jory, knows considerable about an
imals, having spent most of his life
on a ranch
"Blue Boys just pinin' for com
pany", he opined, when the worlds
champion Hampshire refused to emote
in the manner specified by Henry
King, director.
Esmeralda was hurriedly sent for,
and from the moment of the arrival
of the red-haired lady pig, Blue Boy
was changed actor. He preened and
paraded and developed into a regular
show-off. Although Blue Boy enjoys
star rating in Estate Fair" his lady
friend must be credited with bringing
home the bacon.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS
: !. !. + + + + = + 1. 4. + 1. + +

After long struggle, both House
and Senate approved Senate Bill AZ,
Whittemore, which permits the pay
ment of delinquent real estate taxes
in installments. The bill provides that
any person, firm or corporation charg-
ed with or legally authorized (this in
cludes the mortagee) to pay real prop
erty taxes and assessments delinquent
at or prior to the August settlement
of 1882 may, prior to the February
settlement of 1884, elect to pay such
taxes as provided in the bill. If such
person pays 100 per cent Of the prin-
cipal sum of the delinquent taxes and
assessments the county treasurer
valves penalties, interest and other
charges. If he so desires the taxpayer
may agree to pay the taxes and as
sessments in six annual installments,
in which case four per cent interest
would be charged on unpaid balances.
Each of the first five payments must
be at least 10 per cent of the delin-
quent amount and the sixth must be
for the balance due. This is an emer-
gency bill and now is effective.

Will Discuss
Feed Problems

The use of timothy hay as the
only dry roughage in the ration of
fattening lambs and breeding ewes
often has been the chief cause Of
low and discouraging production rec
ords obtained by Ohio flockmasters.
A frequently discussed subject is
whether a farmer who has only tim
othy for dry roughage should even
attempt to engage in lamb-feeding
venture.
Recent tests involving the use of
timothy hay in sheep and fattening
lamb rations, conducted by D. S.
Bell, sheep specialist at the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station, are giving informa-
tion that points the way to a more
efficient use Of this roughage. This
past feeding season, one lot of West
ern lambs, fed a ration of corn, corn
silage and timothy hay, with addi-
tional fortification provided by a
protein supplement and mineral
mixture, was successfully ansd profit
ably fattened. This ration, while not
quite equal to one containing corn,
clover hay, and silage, was fully 35
per cent better than one containing
corn, timothy hay and silage. Does
this observation throw new light on
the subject of whether farmer who
has only timothy for roughage may
profitably engage in lamb feeding?
In the barn housing the breeding
flock similar test, involving tim
othy with minerals and protein sup
plements, is in progress. This test is
not completed, but the lambs have
arrived and observation makes it OBJ
vious that the ewes have wintered
satisfactorily and that the lambs
which they have yeaned are a thrift
ty and vigorous lot.
These comparisons, and others, will
be summarized and Wilt orm the
basis for the sheep and lamb discus
sions which will be given as part of
Livestock Day to be held at Wooster,
Friday, April 21. Because tests have
involved breeding ewes as well as
fattening lambs, Livestock Day
should be equally helpful to flock
masters and to lamb feeders.

BLUE SKY CASE
SET FOR MONDAY
Charges of State Blue Sky Law
Violation Against T. {. Ad-
kins, Columbus, to be
Heard

The trial of Thomas Z. Adkins, 476
Rich street, Columbus, on charge Of
violating the Ohio blue sky law and
of selling unregistered stocks to a
Madison county widow, has been as
signed by Common Pleas Judge P. r.
Emery, of London for next Monday,
April IT.
Adkins, who was released on bond
from the court here two weeks ago
after pleading not guilty to the two
indictments, is alleged to have made a
false statement in the sale on Septem-
ber 8, 1882, on % shares of preferred
stock in the Lambert Art Metal, Inc,
Columbus, and of selling unregistered
stocks to Mrs. Maude A. Wear, of near
London.
He was arrested for Madison county
officers in Columbus on the indict-
ments returned last January and held
secret until he was located. 1t was
stated by Ohio division of securities
officials that Adkins had been sought
for some time, following an admission
in December in a court in Columbus
that he had sold the stock to Mrs.
Wear and that he had borrowed $4,000
| from her upon a promise to assign a
$4,000 insurance policy to her, whicn
he did not do.

First Mortgage
On United States

A life insurance policy is a first
mortgage on the productive wealth
of the United States.
Behind it are millions of dollars
in cash and investments embracing
every major industry. Government
bonds, railroad bonds, utility bonds
these are issues which find their way
into life insurance portfolios. Some
of the bonds may go down tempor-
arily, some of them may stay down
for periods of years. But that has
little influence on life insurance Sc
curity. An individual, when times
become hard, may have to sell in a
buyers market, taking whatever is
offered A life insurance company
keeps on hand sufficient cash, in
legal reserve, to meet obligations and
can hold investments until it can sell
at an advantageous price.
After all, the real test of a coun-
try's wealth is what it can produce.
That is what will finally pull the
! United States, and other powers, out
of the depression. That is what life
insurance realizes, and has taken full
advantage of. 1t doesn't deal in
promises. 1t deals in facts. 1t backs
up every policy it issues with its gi-
gantic holdings in those enterprises
which provide employment, pay tax
es and produce goods or services
which the people must have. And
the answer is-absolute safety.

Stock Opens at N ationaI, April "a

Word comes from S. E. Coch-
ran, the manager Of the National
Theater and sponsor of the Ma
tional Theater Players that his
company will begin their ninth
annual season on Monday. April
"a.
Mr.. Clifford Brooke, who needs
no Introductions or praise from
this department, will again direct
the company and practically the
same cast that made up the 1882
company will return this year.
Miss Leona Powers and Donald
Woods will head the cast sup
ported by Kathryn Givney, Ona
Munson, Freddie Sherman, Ade-
laide Hibbard, Burke Clarke, For
rest Orr, Karl Nielsen, Frank Peck
and, last but not least, our old
friend Romaine Calender, who
has been missing the last two
years.
Due to the fact that the Ma
tional has been Washington's
only legitimate theater operating
this year and had to be held avail
able to the last minute for travel
ing attractions the notice Of the
players opening comes rather sud
denly. For this reason there will
be no subscription season, but
the regular patrons will be as
