Well, last spring Luther bought
couple of black baby pigs for four
bucks apiece. Tried to give Missus
Perry one. She took it but insisted
she was gonna pay for it. She had
to make comfort to sell in town to
raise the money.
lT WAS nearly July when she got
the quilt finished an her an Missus
Maxon took it into town. Luther
said he'd stay home an feed the
widows chickens an her pig instead
of goin' along.

When MiSsus Maxon got nome,
she found Luther out in the back
of their place diggin' hole. He was
buryin' their pig.
Just up an died." Luther told
her. Thought I'd get him buried
before you come"
They felt pretty bad, but Missus
Maxon said they would get by okay.
She would can some extra fruit an
vegetables, an they still had the
chickens.
So they began sendin' their scraps
over to Missus Perry's pig. No use
to waste 'em.
WELL, frost come an butcherin
time. Missus Perry had been waitin'
for a chance to pay back some OF
the Maxons' favors. So she told
them she couldn't possibly use her
whole pig. She was right about that.
He was 3O0-pound whopper. She
had him butchered an there was
plenty of ham an bacon an sausage
for both families.

last summer when the women went
to town, / was out back. l hap
pened to see Luther Maxon with
a wheelbarrow cartin' a ire pig
over to the widows place an
dead one back to his house to
bury.
''Never got around till just lately
to ask Luther about it" Lime says.
Here's what Luther told me: l
got over to her house that day an
found her pig stone cold. Now ! just
couldn't let that widow woman come
home an pay me four dollars for a
dead pig. so l traded with her. But

cent" Ted r. Gamble, national wal

ing handicaps," newspapers have
continued to give freely of their
valuable space in support of this
vital program"
This intensified effort has
been greatly needed to help attain
our Sixth War Loan goal" he said
There is a close parallel in the
amount of newspaper support and
War Bond sales throughout the
country, and the Treasury sincerely
appreciates the cooperation OF the
Nations press
The Treasury official also COM
plimented merchants who he said
have given excellent cooperation
with War Bond advertising.

Quick Senate Approval
For Stadium Forecast

Quick approval is expected to be
given by the Senate, probably to-
day, to two minor amendments to
the Washington memorial stadium
bill written into the measure yes
terday by the House as it gave
unanimous consent to the legisla-
ton.
Chairman Bilbo of the Senate
District Committee, author of the
bill was poised to ask the Senate
to approve the revised draft as
soon as an opportune time arose.
This would send the measure to
the White House, where sponsors
of the plan believe 1t will get the
signature Of President Roosevelt.
The measure. in contrast to other
bills offered in the House side,
merely creates commission Of
nine members to consider sites and
plans for a stadium, means of max
ing the postwar project self-liqui-
dating, and to report recommended
tions back to Congress. 1t au-
thorizes q. fund not to exceed s25,-
900 for the study.
Speaker Rayburn would name
three members of the House as COM
mission members. Vice President
Wallace three from the Senate and
the three other members would be
appointed by the District Commits
sioners.

within miles of the French border
town of Wissembourg, which has
population of 5000 and is the natural
gateway to the province.
The Maginot Line. partly inhabited
by French civilians, was passed, but
the whole Siegfried Line was ahead.
In this area, the German frontier
breaks sharply westward from the
Rhine.
The drive combined with that Of
the Sd Army on Gen. Patch's left
to squeeze the Siegfried Line from
west and south. In this section,
however, the line is thickest, being
fortified up to 80 mile depths to the
Rhine.
Thirty or more towns were swept
up yesterday, eight or more of them
inside Germany. Behind the Ger
man lines, Allied air power hit again
and again in operations suggesting
an attempt to isolate the Germans
in the whole central and northern
sections of the Western Front.
The Sd Army gains in Fraulautern
were through deeply -echeloned Ger
man defenses and against stubborn
opposition. Elements of the 95th
Division edged deeper into a maze
of pillboxes and fortified houses in
Ensdorf, a mile to the east of Saar-
lautern, and in Saarlautern- -Roden
just north of the city. Gains were
in scores of yards.
A few miles north of Dillingen
the Sd Army knocked out particu-
larly troublesome little fort, equipped
with a revolving turret that could
be raised or lowered to shell troops
on any side.
German broadcasts acknoWl-
edged that the Americans had
broken out east of the Hurtgen
Forest and said both sides were
suffering severe casualties In the
battle before Duren. American
advances in Lorraine and Alsace

The Goth Division at Dillingen
