q comparison Of pigs and babies:
it states that the Government
pays farmers not to raise too
many pigs and not one cent to
support babies.
To me this Is not Q very good
comparison for if the Govern

why shouldn't it pay to raise

near Stewart Sunday, playing
the roles of Paul Revere and

The proprietor of the Coffee
shop was riding between Gibbon

when he saw flames shooting
skyward from a barn roof.
Driving into the farmers yard,
he instructed his companion to
honk the horn while he raped at
a window to waken the family.
When the farmer rose Matzener
tried to help him get the stock
out of the barn, but fire rolled out
at them as they opened the doors.
Harvey drove to several neigh
bors' places attempting to locate
a telephone, finally did, and call
ed the Stewart fire department.
The barn burned to the ground
but the house and other buildings
were saved.
