Brief Stae World During The Past Week

to take advantage of an upward
trend in the market.
Hogs have been rushed to mar
ket and glut has followed. Some
growers have recently sold hogs
at relative low prices but it Is
hoped that the floor which has
now been placed under hogs will
help to bring about a better price
structure and a more normal
marketing condition.
Vestal suggests that growers
give their soWs careful attention
and save as many pigs as possible.
at narrowing time He points ouE
that men in the armed forces eat
about liz times as much as they
did when at home. When these
same men are sent overseas, the,
food reserve must be three times
as great as when they are station,
ed in this country.
All of these demands for our
men in the armed forces, plus:
meat for Lend-lease and freed
peoples, will call for large num-
Der of hogs,-all that can be pro-
duced from the available feed.

Local All-Stars
Win Two Games

The West Jefferson All-Stars
won double-header Friday
night On the local hardwood be-
fore a wildly excited crowd Of
spectators, Both games were
closely played with the outcome
uncertain until the final seconds
of each game.
The All-Star girls, led by the
accurate shooting of Margaret
Phipps, defeated the local high
school sextet, 20-16. Although
Bobbie Miller matched Phipps in
points, the All-Stars found usage
of foul conversions to exc out a
close victory.
Stansberry, Lyle and Sexton
led the local All-Star quint to a
1923 victory over the smooth
working Todd All-Stars. Both
teams held small leads through
out the game with the local or
ganization winning in the last
IS seconds of the game when
Lyle was successful in "snoW-
birding" to get two quick baskets
with no opposing guard anywhere
close. Graham was outstanding
for the visitors while Cooper al.
so played fine "floorg game.

RUSSIANS ADVOCATE
NO LET-UP IN WAR

Moscow - TIL e Soviet press
warned this week against COM
placency and over confidence and
urged an intensified struggle for
final victory over Germany.
Three leading publications -
Red Star, Pravda and Izvestia-
devoted front page editorials to
calls for fresh efforts and the
quick and complete reoccupation
of White Russia.
Red Star recalled Premier Mar
shall Stains statement of Novem-
Der 6 that victory could only be
won by strong action and might
be lost if the people were lulled
by immediate successes.

Announce Draft Quotas Are
Not To Be Lowered In Jan.

Washington - Che army's draft
call for January is to be twice
the figure the War Manpower
Commission has been expecting,
it was learned this week, and as
a result the combined army-navy
call will approximate 100000
men.
This is about the present month
ly figure, as contrasted with pre-
vious indications that calls would
begin dropping after the first OF
the year.
The expanding navy never ex-
pected to reach top strength until
we'll along in 1914 and the army
it was reported authoritatively
won't be at its expected peak
strength of 100000 men by Jan
uary l for two reasons.

Farmers Advised
To Retain SOWs

Don't sell off all your sows
now and plan to go out of the hog
BUSINESS but keep your hog pro-
gram in line with the supply of
feed on the farm and follow good
management PRACTICES" is the adj
vice of Ellis Vestal, Extension
swine specialist at N. C. State
College.
He suggests culling out of the
poor soWs, the use of additional
grazing crops to offset high feed
costs, and other good practices
which will help to put hog pro-
duction on a more profitable and
more conservative basis.
Under the meat rationing pro-
gram he looks forward to the re-
turn of heavy demand for pigs
and believes that the grower who
follows sound management prac-
tees will be in a better position

has been disappointing. (The ar
my is pleased with the perform
ance of it's women soldiers and is
willing to take hundreds of thou
sands, but only about 10000 have
enlisted to date.)
2. Draft boards are tagging so
far behind their quotas they may
be unable to catch up even by the
end of January.
Uncertainty over what Con-
gress would do about the drafting
of prewar fathers caused many
draft boards to delay calling
them.
The general expectations, boil
stored by War Department tes-
timony on Capitol Hill, had been
that the army would need only
requirements after the first OF
the year.

Linda Darnell, who was blithely
playing married women roles at the
age of Is. has finally caught up
with the type of part that most
newcomers to Hollywood cut their
acting teeth on Yes, I mean a
Western. I saw Linda at Goth Gen.
tury-Fox yesterday. She was watch
ing Sheila Ryan, who took over
Lindas dancing role with Tony De
Margo in The Girls He Left Be-
hind And she was smiling, with
the look on her face as if to say:
There but for the grace of mar
riage 60 II She is plumper since
she became Mrs. Pev Marley. And
she is certainly happier.
Its wonderful" she tells me, re-
ferring to her marriage and her
future working plans. I'm to play
opposite Joel McCrea in Buffalo
Bill Joel has always been my heart
throb, and I just can't wait to do
the picture" But she seems mighty
content to wait the two months be-
fore the 100000 technicolor epic
actually begins. Her husband, a
sergeant in the Signal Corps, is sta
toned in Hollywood and is allowed
to spend his time at home when the
days work is done. I'VE have no

by. In addition to the crooner he
has signed Frank McHugh and
Barry Fitzgerald . There is talk
that Mickey Rooney will go abroad
to do his share in the war effort
by entertaining the boys in service.
But meanwhile, his next Andy Har-
dy picture is being prepared. It's
called Andy Hardy's Blonde Trou-
BILE He will probably make this
in London. He will do it before
"Honeyboy." Director George
Cukor, who was really wasted as a
private in the Signal Corps, has
been given an honorable discharge
by the Army and returns to the work
he does best in Hollywood. This
is good news to the lady film stars
