Better Hogs On The
Way In Noble County

Noble county farmers are watch
ing reports from Minnesota that
swine improvement work there has
produced litters of pigs which gain
twice as fast as the average gains
made by pigs ten years ago. The
1916 figures reported to H. M.
Barnes, specialist in animal hus-
bandry, Ohio State University, were
233 pounds average weight for pigs
at eight weeks.
Frank Moore of Brookficld town
ship, is one of the many farmers,
watching this experiment, and
many others will benefit.
The Minnesota work was begun in
1888, and the average weight of S.
day old pigs that year was 1l2
pounds. Ten years of selecting gifts
from quick maturing litters have
enabled the Minnesota experiment
ers to produce pigs that make 233
pounds average at eight weeks of
age.
Barnes hastens to caution Ohio
farmers against ordering brood stock
from Minnesota because no soWs of
the selected type are being offered
for sale. The University specialist
recommends a speed-up of some
what similar work being done in
this state.
Preble county has been doing
swine Improvement work under the
direction of county agricultural
agent w H. Bruner and of men
from the Ohio Experiment Station
This Ohio work has been directed
at development of a type of hog
which would produce higher per
centageS of desirable cuts rather
than toward rapid gains.
The Preble county system does
result in selection of gifts from large
and thrifty litters so there is con-
sistent improvement in brood soWS
The Minnesota experiments indicate
there are further possibilities in ex-
panding the Preble county plan.
Ohio State University provides
Preble county farmers with a serv.
ice for dressing pigs from improved
litters and for judging the carcasseE
of those pigs. Slaughter tests have
shown that the percentage of loir
and ham can be increased by a syS,
tenn of selecting the right brooc
stock.

Property Reappraisement Meeting
Held In Cambridge By Farm Groups

property owners in Cambridge
and Guernsey county and several
from Noble county attended a mass
meeting arranged by grange and
farm bureau legislative committees
Thursday evening at Central high
school auditorium. The matter of re-
appraisal of property next year was
considered with arguments pre-
sented pro and con regarding the
employment of professional reap
praisal concern to handle the work.
Estimates were that about 200
persons were present, and several
persons took part in the discussion.
Guernsey County Auditor Willard
Patton, in expressing his views,
pointed out advantages of having
professional appraisal company con-
duct the work, which heretofore in
the county has been handled by
local residents with little or no
training in determining property
values.
Mr.. Patton explained that in en-
ploying an appraisal company "a
person would be sent here to train
residents of the county selected to
help with the program. After
training period the appraisers would
be given assignments and the pro-
fessional appraiser would assist in
the work He said the need for re-
appraisal was great, pointing out in
stances of properties of one town
ship being appraised at lower over
all value than those of another
township, while actually there is
practically very little difference be-
tween them. He also stated that the
appraised value of much of the
property is at depression level, and
that there was a need for a read
justment.
Among those who spoke against
the proposal was Harvey Watson.
Those expressing opposition pointed
out that the county was not in need
of additional revenue as it has
surplus of money. Two representa-
tives of Belmont county also stated
that the employment of profess
sional appraisal company in their
county did not prove satisfactory.

Common Colds Cost u. S. One Billion
Annually. According TO Dr.. l. !. Dublin

New York, Dec. 5-The common
cold costs the American people well
| over a billion dollars a year, ac-
cording to DR.. Louis I. Dublin, Sec
ond vice president and statistician of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
An average person in Noble coun-
| ty suffers at least two colds during a
year, which means nearlyl 100000
900 a year in the population of the
United States. DR.. Dublin reported
also that simple colds usually last
about five days, and thus account
for total of 1,500,000,000 days of
discomfort and reduced efficiency, if
not of actual disability.
The common colds accounts for
more lost time in industry than any
other single cause of disability, even
though workers often endure the
infection without staying away from
work." DR.. Dublin noted.
From 40 to so per cent of all
days lost from work are attributed
to colds and their complications. A
conservative estimate of the coun-
trywide toll is at least one working
day per employee per annum. This
means a loss of more than 100000
days to industry this year. Even at
the average daily wage of 81, the
total loss of wages comes to over
$420,00O,00O"
The cost of drugs and medical
care in the treatment of colds comes
roughly to $400,OOO,OOO a year, DR..
Dublin estimates. No attempt, how
ever, is made to estimate the cost
to employers from lost production
and disrupted routine, although it
is stated that the figure is very con-
siderable for the country as a whole.
Although the common cold is
generally considered a minor infec-
ton, any disease that costs the
American people more than a bill
lion dollars a year must be rated
high in the list of enemies of pub
lie health" DR.. Dublin observed.

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Veterans selling property pur-
chased with CT loans should obtain
releases from personal liability as
protection against defaulted pay
ments by the new owners.
VA branch office officials in Co.
lumbus pointed out that a veteran
remains personally liable for repay
ment of a loan after selling his
property if the new owner fails to
keep up the payments. The veteran
may have to pay part of the debt de-
faulted by the new owner if the
property is sold for less than the
unpaid of the loan.
Veterans should obtain releases
from personal liability on their CT
loans by express agreement with
the lenders, upon selling or trans
ferring property.
VA officials cautioned veterans to
beware of deals in which they are
offered lucrative fees if they will
use their CT loan guarantee to pur-
chase property for other persons. In
these cases, also, the veteran is
liable for the amount of the loan if
the ultimate buyer defaults in his
payments.
Veterans Administration said to-
day in answer to several inquiries
that there is no provision in the CT
bill (public law 346) which permits
VA to make loans or advance sub
sistence payments to veterans en-
rolled in educational or training
programs.
Under public law l6, which is the
Vocational Rehabilitation Act for
disabled veterans, a $1,500,00O re
VOlVing fund has been provided to
make advancements not exceeding
| 500 to disabled veterans who are
entering training. The advancement
must be repaid to VA in install
mentS.

* To b Constructe ]
Near North Carolina
Shipyard
BY ROY COOK
Star SPORTS Editor

Ground Was broken late yester-
.ay afternoon for a new baseball
ark, to be the home of the Will
inington Pirates, Class d Tobacco
State league team.
The new park will be located near
ne North Carolina Shipyard on
The dual h ghway leading from the
shipyard to the Carolina beach
road on a site formerly used as a
parking lot for sipyard employees,
L. M. Pollock, president of the
Pirates said last night.
Pollock revealed that plans had
been underway for over" two
months to build the park, but the
owners reached a definite deci-
sion following a meeting with the
county commissioners last week.
The Wilmington club owners were
seeking to use the American
Legion Stadium again this year
but the commissioners were I'm
able to reach any decision On the
concessions privilege. The Pirate
owners wanted to have control OF
the concessions during the base
ball season. But, no agreement
could be reached.
Pollock, v. A. Stefano and Odell
Bridgers went to New Bern Mon
day afternoon to look over the
park there and returned with
plans of that plant.
The park, which Pollock says
may be completed within so days,
will be constructed of cement with
a cement block fence. The main
~grandstand VIII seat 1880 and
bleacher seats will be available
for another 1900.
Tentative plans call for the
g%randstand to be covered, but in
the event materials are unobtain-
able, the roof will be constructed
next year.
Workers were very busy yesterday
clearing of the two block site
and the foundation is expected to
be placed sometime this week.
Pollock did rot disclose the cost
of the project but he said THE
park in New Bern cost nearly
$35, 900 and we hope to get out a
little cheaper" The Buc Prexy
went on to say that the park will
be modern in every respect. 1--WE
hope to install seats with backs In
them. At least it will be COM
Portable as we can possibly make
them this year." he added.
Pollock said it might be neces-
sary for the Piartes to play sew
teral scheduled exhibition games
in the American Legion Stadium
but quickly added I'VE sure hope
the work on our park is complet-
ed in time to play the games
there"
