likely to 60 even higher, and,

tailed and brought under control. or

ruinous imitation will obtain to the detri-
ment of the public welfare throughout the
country, and,

Post No. lis, County of Cook, State Of

OPPOSED TO THE GRANTING OF A
LOAN TO GREAT BRITAIN under it's
proposed conditions for the following
reasons.
THAT the interest rate (1.6 per cent?
Il is entirely too low in comparison with
other governmental obligations, and fur
ther that returning veterans desiring
loan would have to pay MORE THAN
TWICE THAT RATE OF INTEREST TO
SECURE A SMALL LOAN FOR RE-
HABILITATION PURPOSES.
C-That the agreement is so cunningly
- devised in that it compels us to es-
tablish a definite fixed policy of tariff
that our failure to do so would afford
Great Britain a valid reason to default
on the agreement at a later date This
provision should be remedied
O-Thot Great Britain has not diUuIeed
- nor Wll she diUuige her hidden
assets to determine Dhether she actually
needs this loan for the purposes stated
by her, or, Whether it ,Diil be diUerted
by her into channels for the purpose of

RALEIGH, Jan. THE Crop
Reporting Service Of the State De-
pariment Of Agriculture estimates
that the combined spring and fall
pig crop for North Carolina in
1916 total 1,142,000 head.
This is about $4,000 head small
er than the 1914 crop of 1,47S,0OO
head and ISL, 900 head smaller than
the 10-year average Of 1928, 1000
head. The 1945 fall pig crop was
estimated at 544, 900 or 10 per cent
smaller than the 1914 fall crop of
624, 900 head. Reports from breed
ers indicated that $1,000 sows far.
rowed during June l to December
l, 1915. This is IA per cent smafl-
er than the $4,000 sows narrowing
in the fall Of 1914.
Farmers reports on breeding in.
tentions for the spring of 1916 in
dictate that 1850 sows will far
row during the 6-nonth period
ending June l, 1916. This is TO-
600 head or IL per cent larger than
the $4,000 sows narrowing during
the spring of 1945 but 5000 head
or 8 per cent less than the To-
year average spring borrowings
Of 114,000.
If breeding intentions are car.
ried out and the number Of pigs
per litter should be the same as
the 10-year 1934-43) average, the
1916 spring crop in North Caro-
lima will total about $4,000 head
or $4,000 head more that the $685..
900 produced in 1945 but about
$1,000 head smaller than the av.
erage spring pig crop during the

Winning essays in the essay con-
test held in Marysville Junior and
Senior high schools last week on
C'The Flag, sponsored by) The
Hannah Emerson Dustin chapter,
Daughters of the American Rev

Entries were limited to rs

OUR FLAG
The flag of the United States of
America tells the story of the de-
velopement of our country. The
blue stands for perseverance and
justice. The stars on the blue rep
resent the states working in har-
mony. The thirteen red and white
stripes symbolizes the thirteen
United Colonies that won our in
dependence. Red is for devoted
daring and white for purity.
Knowing what the stars and
stripes stand for should make us
appreciate our flag more than
ever.-Virginia Tiller.
THE FLAG
Our flag stands for freedom,
liberty, and justice for all. The
colors red, white, and blue stand
for bloodshed, purity and loyalty.
The thirteen stripes stand for
the first thirteen original colonies.
The white stars on a field of blue
stand for the forty-eight states
of the United States of America.
