friends and were safe was being
checked by Sheriff Ralph Ried-

Mr.. and Mrs. Orgill and their
children arrived at Meters Beach,

Hogs Adopt New Look;
they're Thinner and Longer

LANSING, MICH.-It shouldn't
happen to a hog.
But the fashionable, modern
model hog is coming out with an
entirely new look"
Falling in line with ordinary hui
man beings, this years crop of
hogs will be longer and thinner
than the war models.
Naturally the hogs have nothing
to do with it.
According to w. N. McMillen,
swine specialist at Michigan State
college. hogs which the meat pack
ers and pork producers want vary
with the public demand and the
need for lard.
During the war there was a
tendency to produce short thick
hogs to meet the public demand
and the demands from government
for lard.
Swine authorities now claim the
trend is swinging to a longer hog
with less fat, which makes for
more plates of bacon, loins, chops
and hams.
stylish stout hogs won't stand
a chance of coping a blue ribbon
at the county fairs. McMillen said,
Hogs with the classiest chassis
will have the appearance Of a we'll
fed Greyhound" he added.
