Hog values lost 5-10c as compared
with last Friday and trading has
generally been of a dull nature.
However, order buyers came to
life on Tuesday which gave many
salesman reason to believe that
trading would become more ami
mated even if there was a slight
chance Of price betterment at pre-
sent. Quality of hogs has taken a
let down this being particularly
true of weights below 220 lbs. which
display numerous common and
medium descriptions. Tuesdays
top Of $50 was paid by shipping
interests on strictly good to choice
10000 lbs. averages, while local
packers endeavored to purchase
comparable kinds at $500. Packing
sows have enjoyed good outside
support with current prices on this
class at $3.85 and $3.50.

DAIRY CONSUMPTION
INCREASES
The Department of Agriculture
reports that the average American
consumed more milk and manu-
factured dairy products last year
than ever before. The consumption
averaged 842 pounds per person
compared with 808 pounds in 1888
The total consumption is reported
at 110,338, 100000 pounds of fluid
milk compared with los, ,192, 900, ,0OC
pounds in 1888. The Departments
statement says that the per capita
consumption of manufactured dairy
products-butter, cheese, concen.
trated milk and ice cream was the
largest in forty years.
1t may not be generally known
that the American people are far
down the scale when 1t comes to
consumption of butter, milk and
cheese. In some European coun-
tries the per capita consumption
is as much as thirty per cent high
er. If we could bring the Ameri-
can per capita consumption up to
the levels of Scandinavia, Holland
and Switzerland we would probab-
ly have to go on an importing basis
to fill our needs.
A HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE
I am wondering how Under Sec
retary Of State Sumner Welles felt
as he sat chatting with British
officials on the deck of the boat
that was taking him to italy, while
British contraband officials remov-
ed 334 bags of United States mail
addressed to Germany and Poland
Daily, American ships are being
seized and taken to British ports
for examination. Reports from
across state that Italian boats are
singularly immune to search and
seizure on the part of the British
because they do not want to offend
Italy Evidently, the British are
not held back by any such feelings
as far as the United States goes
Our flag is Haunted and our rights
violated but all that Washington
does is to send soft and mealy-
mouhed protests, just like we did
back in 1914-15-16. Personally,
should like to see rugged Amer
lean like Grover Cleveland in the
White House these days. There
was a man who was every inch an
American.

JOY, LEAP YEAR GIRL,
HAS HER DAY TODAY

Automatically the situation of
little Joy Gray's birthday anniver-
sary is a bit of a paradox. You
see, it's only her second anniver-
sary, but she's eight years old. She
was born February 29th, just eight
years ago today, and by her birth
right is a Leap Year Girl. This
afternoon at the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Gray,
Joy is entertaining some fifteen
guests at a special party in honor
Of the Leap Year anniversary date.
The Herald supposes, and feverent-
ly hopes, that some adequate ar
rangements are made in the other
three of the four-year cycle so that,
anniversary or not, there are those
birthday remembrances. On the
other hand the anniversary every
four years can be a ready tool in
Joys hands when she comes to
that age of young womanhood
when she perennially wishes not
to exceed twenty-five years.

PUBLIC ANTT-WAR
 MEETING TONIGHT
Two Organizations Unite to Discuss Plans to Keep
 U. s. Out of War

A mass meeting to which the gen. eral public is invited will be held this evening in the Elton Hotel and will be sponsored by the Mothers of American Sons and the Committee to Keep America Out of Foreign Wars. All persons regardless of age, sex, race or creed are invited to at tend.
 The meeting will start promptly at 8 p. m. and from present indica- tions large audience will be on hand to hear several speakers speak on American neutrality. One of the principal speakers will be Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, bitter op- ponent of the new deal foreign pol icy and outspoken opponent of American involvement in the pres- ent European wars.
 The organizations have been show ing constant headway throughout the state, units having been organ ized in several cities. Plans are now being completed for the purchasing Of radio time on a statewide hook up basis.
 The meeting tonight is highly im- portant in that the hotly contested conscription bill will be discussed at length.
 It is interesting to note that the House of Representatives yesterday adopted the exact plan which has been advocated by MT. Ryan long before Rep. Hamilton Fish intro duced the bill in Congress. MT. Ryan has repeatedly asserted both on public platforms and on radio broadcasts that the volunteer sys- tenn for the United States army had not broken down and that if the American youth were offered the opportunity to join the army for one year enlistment and for a salary higher than the $21 a month which soldiers were paid, American youth would respond,
 American youth of today has the same patriotism and loyalty that has characterized our people for years and years. The youth of this nation will respond to the need of our coun- try in no uncertain terms if and when the occasion demands it, but before we conscript our men, let us try the volunteer system has been Ryan's persistent appeal.

Baptists To Resume
 Services Next Sunday
Unified Plan" to Be in Operation This Year; Evening
 Worship Not to Start Until October

The Sunday morning services of the First Baptist Church will be re- sumed on September 8, 10:30 O. clock. Communion will be celebrated, and Rev. David P. Gaines, the pas tor, will be in charge of the services and preach. The Sunday school also will reopen at 10:30 o'clock.
 Follow Unified Plan
 The First Baptist Church follows what is known as the unified plan" for the Sunday school. By this plan, the first twenty minutes of the church worship serves also as the opening worship of the Sunday school. Children attend the church service at 10:30 o'clock and retire, after twent minutes, to their depart mentS and classes, while the young people and adults remain for the rest of the church service. An in- vitation is given parents to attend with their children and families are requested to sit together. At the close of the church service, there are classes for adults continuing for 45 minutes. These classes close at the same time the children's pro- gram in the Sunday concludes, and parents and children can go home together. The entire period for both services is one hour and forty-five minutes. Children not attending the church service at 10:30 o'clock come for Sunday school at Il o'clock. This plan, which has now been in effect 8 year, is meeting with much favor.
 Bibles Presented
 At the graduation service in the Sunday school, Bibles were present. ed to the following junior children: Eric Burton, Richard Copp, Janice Drumn, Constance Fowler, John Hogan, Edward Lawson, Philip Lu- chinsky, Margaret Manton, Virginia Montello, Myrtle Steven, Norma Lawson, Carol Arnold, Vivian Saun- derS, Eleanor Kmoacki.
