That's easily said, but hard to
accomplish. Both Klein and Heu-
rich'S are good teams, and they
will be fighting like wildcats to
turn the tables on the highly
rated Rose clan. ..
The Rose-Klein game will be
played on the South Ellipse, COM
mencing at three bells, and Charlie

be on the firing line for Rose. In
all probability the Liquor boys
will face Bill Liggett, former Mt.

has shown rare ability on the
mound this half.
They are staging a merry race
in Section B of the unlimited
class. Georgetown A. c. is lead
ing with five wins and one loss,
while New Deal, Star Radio and

second place with four victories
and one setback each. H. B.

Fast Growing Pigs Are
the Best as Breeders

The best swine breeding stock
usually comes from the heaviest
pigs, said H. w. Taylor, extension
swine specialist at North Carolina
State college.
So good way to select breeding
stock, he added, is to weigh the lit
tiers at weaving time.
If all sows and litters have had
the same care and feeding, the lit
tiers which are heaviest at weaving
time will be those from the best
soWs.
The boar and SOW pigs selected
for breeding purposes should be TAX
en- from these heaviest litters.
Boar pigs to be raised for pork
should be treated when four to five
weeks old, Taylor continued. At
this age the treatment does not
shock the pig as much as it will
later, and the young pigs recover
more rapidly.
He also pointed out that santa
ton and balanced rations are two
of the most important factors in
hog production. IF you have not
tried narrowing and raising pigs on
clean land. give it trial." he said.

FARM
Tories
POULTRY OUTLOOK
FOUND FAVORABLE
Government Bureau Pre-
diets Higher Egg Prices.

Supplied by the United States Department
of Agriculture. -WNU Service.
Somewhat higher prices of eggs
next year as compared with this
year are foreseen by the bureau of
agricultural economics in review
of the poultry and egg situation.
This conclusion is drawn from the
smaller number of layers which will
be in farm focks next year and the
expectation that the rate Of egg pro-
duction will be somewhat loWer.
The larger supply of feed this
year is expected to have material
effect on the poultry situation. The
total production of the four feed
grains, corn, oats, barley, and
grain sorghum, this fall will be the
largest since 1882. And the wheat
supply for poultry feeding will be
larger than in recent years. With
the number of grain-eating animals
at low point, there will be unusu-
ally ample supplies of grain for
poultry, especially in some of the
Corn Belt states. In other words,
the bureau says, the feed situation
next spring will be much more ia
vorable to producers than in 1887.
Largely as result of the ample
feed supply, it is expected that the
hatch Of chicks next spring will be
larger than the small hatch this
year. This leads to the conclusion
that while poultry supplies will be
smaller in the first half, they will
be larger in the last half of 1888
than in the corresponding periods of
1887. Higher prices of chickens are
looked for in early 1888, whereas
lower prices may be the rule year
from now
Stocks of eggs in cold stora ge
which will affect egg prices next
year are likely to be much less
than they were in 1887. because of
smaller marketings.
While the production of fall
and winter broilers this year is ex-
pected to be heavy, the price is
not likely to be depressed CORE
spondingly because the general
meat supply is smaller.
Turkey production this year is
estimated at 10 per cent less than
it was in 1886. With prices expected
to be higher than they were last
year and possibly higher than in
1885. the hatch and production Of
turkeys in 1888 probably will be
increased over this year.

To Be Wed in Bro1Up

N EAR Mrs. Post: am being
- married in street dress in
the presence Of only a dozen rela-
tives and friends. l intended get
ting a brown dress since my travel
ing coat is of mixed browns with a
beaver collar, but on second thought
perhaps brown would be as insult
able on this occasion as black. i
am referring to the superstition that
black suggests bad luck for those
in the wedding.
Answer: The reason black is
avoided at weddings is that it is the
color Of mourning. There is no
such association with brown. The
only possible criticism of brown is
that it might seem sornbre unless
lightened in some way by color at
your throat or by carrying bright
colored flowers.

N EAR Mrs. Post: Will you please
- explain about the wearing of
wells in the present day? Mother in
sists that they were never intended
to be worn after dark and can
hardly believe she is right because
why would so many of the hats
bought for street wear have wells
attached to them?
Answer: 1t is impossible to at
tept to limit fashions. Perhaps
women will wear se;ls around their
wrists or around their necks next,
for whatever fashion says to do we
all, like so many sheep, follow after.
Of course they didn't used to wear
wells in the evening. Of course they
didn't used to go without backs in
their dresses either, nor did they
play tennis in panties! At present
they do wear stiff little rue trim
mings on the hats and call them
wells, and also call some of the hats
they grace evening hats. AS for
the large circular evening wells that
are dropped snugly over the hair to
keep it in place, and then flare
srnartly at the bottom edge, which
are illustrated in the fashion maya
zines, they are perhaps legitimate
children of day before yesterdays

to make my home with sister on
the West Coast. ~ would like to
send a written note of resignation to
local club of which 1 have always
been member and wish you would
suggest what write. ~ Also, will
you tell me whether it would be in
correct to wear black satin slippers
with black dinner dress while 1
am wearing mourning? find it i'm
possible to get suede ones that are
comfortable.
Answer: % You write to the sec
rotary of the club, wording your
note more or less like the follow
ing: Dear Mrs. Green: Owing to
the changed circumstances in my
life and the uncertainty of my ever
returning to x-town to live, it is
with very deep regret that [ must

cumulating in the treasury year after year and
mounting into the tens of billions of dollars Will
be witnessed by millions of citizens with no know
edge of the economic or actuarial principles IN

and move to raise the amount OF Dement'S, to be-
gin immediate payment of full-scale pensions, or to

unbearable proportions. ~'s.' 70. 90. ''S'.
"The danger does not lie in the possibility that
congress may fail to make the annual appropria-
tons to the account that it may lower the scale
of present and prospective payroll taxes. Either
of those alternatives would be preferable to car
ryng out the provisions of the present plan, since
it would reduce the real danger, namely, that the
mounting reserve account will result in unprecc-
denied extravaganza by creating an illusion OF
great affuence. If the plan is to be carried out,
it should be modified in such way as to remove
this temptation. The simplest and soundest way OF
accomplishing this end would be to abolish the re-
serve place the whole scheme a pay-as-you-go'
basis, and collect taxes only as they are needed to
meet the benefit payments.
Another feature of the plan that has been
rightly criticized is the requirement that the &C
count shall be invested in securities yielding at
least per cent interest If such securities cannot
be obtained in the open market, the treasury must
issue special per cent obligations to the account.
The government is thus assured of market for its
securities at per cent to the amount of the funds
available for investment for the account, regard
less of money market conditions or the state of
government credit; and the treasury is relieved of
the normal necessity of subjecting its borrowing
activities to the scrutiny and appraisal of the in
vesting public. In this way strong natural check
against governmental extravaganza is removed
1.-THE aspect of the program that is of immediate
practical concern to business is the huge financial
burden that it will involve. Under the act as it
stands at present, the $700,O00,000 that will be
taken in taxes and appropriated to the old age and
unemployment reserve accounts during the coming
fiscal year will increase steadily for an indefinite
period According to the estimates the three major
features of the program-old age benefits, unem-
ployment benefits, and old age assistance-may
reach 49, OOO, 900, 900 within ten years and $4,000
OOO, 900 within twenty years.
at is important to bear in mind that the bulk
of the social security taxes is levied on employ
ment and constitutes a direct burden on business
activity Whether business can carry a burden of
this magnitude without disastrous impairment of
its aggregate productive capacity is serious ques-
ton"

A person guilty of private and
secret effort to Influence the vote
of a legislator should be treated
exactly as he who privately and
secretly tries to influence the
vote of a juror-he should be
subject to fine and imprisonment.
1t is only by adopting drastic pen
alties against this lobby evil now

that it can be checked and de-
stroycd. The legislator who lends
himself to the secret and private
