PIG SURVEY Palling Off of Porkers Shown By Statisties Gathered by Rural ~ Mail Carrlers The pig survey taken by the rural mail carriers for June and reported to the U. S. department of agriculture shows the following results: A decrease of about 7 per cent in the spring pig ¢rop of 1923 from that of 13927 for the United States as a whole and also for the Corn Belt States is shown b ythe June Pig Survey of the Department of Agriculture. This decrease is equivalent to ahout 4,000,600 head of pigs for the United Stat»s of which over 3,000,000 repregenis the decrease for the Corn Belt States. A decrease in the fall pig crop of this year from that of. last vear is also indicated. The survey was made in cooperation with the Pos: Office Department through the rursl mail carriers.

"The uumger of- sows farrowed .u the spring of 1928 was 7.7 per cent smaller than in the spring of 1927 for the United States and 9 per cent smaller for the Corn Belt States. While the reporied average number of spring pigs caved per litter for the United States was about the same as last yeai the average in the Corn Belt was somevhat larger thaa last year. For Indiana sows farrowed in the spring of 1928 were 91.7 per cent of last yvear while pigs saved were 91.1 per cent. This indicates very slightly smeller litters this year. Intended brecding for this fall shows that with the usual spread between intention and performance the fall erop will not be quite as large as last year. With 8 per cent fewer hogs and probably mote coirn than last vear a scramble for hegs this fall seems likely.

Aneswers Hoosier's Wire. Gov.. Alfred E. Smith announced Moaday night that if elected president he immediately would begin work on a plan of farm relief without waiting for the date of his inauguration. The anrouncement was in the form of a reply to W. H. Settle president of the Indiana Farm Brueau federation. Cov. Smith said he would call a conference of leaders to work with him: during the winter .months on a schen.e {o relieve the agricultural sitpation providing he is elected in Noveniber. ’

Clov. Smith’s announcement came in response to a telegram from Settlc askin> the governor's personal position on agricultural plank in Houston: piatiorm. .

The reply made public read: “A¢ to agriculture I stand squarely en the pledges given by the Demoeratic party at Houston. I understand and sympathize with the objects which organized agriculture is struggling to attain and which our party has promised to help them secure. If election returns disclose that 1 have been chosen president I will not wait until I am inaugurated before acting on this problem. “1 will immediately after the election call a conference of leaders to work with me during the winter to develop a concrete plan embodying the principles of the Houston platform so that I may transmit to congress at its opening session a definite program accompanied by suggestions ior the necessary legislation.” _ BRI e— Per Capita Wealth of U. S. $40.562 Americans are 96 cents poorer per capita this year than they were last year but they are $5.60 richer than they were in 1914. Treasury records made public today show that the per capity wealth. of the United States based on an estimated population of 118,364,000 on June 30 the end of the 1928 fiscal year was $40.52 compared with $41.48 for 1927 and $34.92 for 1914. !

s ¥ T, TR e R Girl of Century Ao - and Today Compared We look back with amazement and pity at the woman of 1828, it is said, but, says the London Daily News, we look with admiration also, for it is out of their dreaming and striving that our freedom has come. Poor Miss 1828 offers a striking contrast between the young womnen of that day and those of the present year, Look at her standing there—in her stuffy thick clothing, her hideous frilled *pelisse” with its puffed sleeves, her fuce hidden by an ungainly flapping bonnet *“as large as an uwbrella.” "She has been grounded in the principles of rveligion and worality. Her head is stuffed wigh Mangnall's questions, her fingers are sore with working “samplers,” her body is stiff with that strange cult known as “deportment.” She is just sixteen years old and ready to “come out” to a life of social and domestic inanition. When slie dances, it i§ to pace soberly tucough tie measures of a minuet or the quadrilles, for she has not yet ‘been introduced to the *“sprightly polka” %r the glamorous waltz. Little wonder that she breaks the monotony of her days by occasional fits of hysteria or a graceful swoon. She had her vanities, poor dear—her looks were one of her few inter ests. She was as frightened of corpulence as is her modern sister. Rosy, fresh cheeks were considered comion, and she deprived herself of adequate food for fear of growing fat and “material.” @

Greeniand, Long Ago, Colonized by Danes

Greenland was originally colonized by Scandinaviaus, about the year 1000, but the colony dwindled and became extinct shortly before 1500, owing chiefly to the inroads of the Eskimo The existing Danish colony was established in 1721. 'The aborigines, says the . Smithsoniun institution, are ali of Eskim¢ stock and number altogether about 11,000, including a very large proportion of mixed bloods, who, as a rule, adhere to Eskimo customs ana language. e This number seews to be considerably higher thaun in 1721, but the difference is largely, if not entirely, to be accounted for by the increase of the mixed-blood stock from European intermarriage. -

Theory of Arrhenius

_ Svante August Arrhenius, the noted Swedish chemist and physicist, believes that life is an interstellar element and may be transmitted from one planet to another. According to his conception, life ip universally diffused and is constantly emitted from all habitable worlds in the form of spores. These spores traverse space for years, and possibly ages. The majority of them are ultimately destroyed by the heat of some blazing star, but some few, he thinks, find a resting place on bodies which have already reached the habitable stage. Life, according to Arrhenius, may al--80 be transmitted from one heavenly body to another by means of meteors. —Pathfinder Magazine.

. Historic Edifice

Kenilworth castle i in Warwickshire, England. It has figured prominently in the history of the country. In 1575 it was the scene of 19 days’ entertaininent of Queen Elizabeth by the earl of Leicester. The walls originally inclosed an ‘area of 7 acres. The principal portions of the building remaining are the gatehouse, now used as a dwelling house; Caesar’s tower, the only portion built by Geoffrey de Clinton now extant, with massive walls 16 feet thick; the Merwyn's tower of Scott’s “Kenilworth”; the great hall, built by Jobhn of Gaunt, with windows of very beautiful design, and the Leicester buildings, whiclj/are in a very ruinous condition.

Purist Enters Objection

An indignant purist, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press, has publicly taken to task a prominent Oregon attorney for using the quotation, ascribed to Willinm Congreve, a dramatist of the Lighteenth century: ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” He says that there is no such language in Congreve or anywhere else. The exact quotation is: ‘“There is no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hath hell a fury like a woman scorned.” This is one of such almost innumerable popular modifications of literature which, despie the rage of the purist, continue in dse.

Silver in Olden Days

Whatever the difference in mechanfcal aspects, in many respects our modern life parallels closely the lives of the ancients. The noble and aristocratic Egyptians and Greeks had an exquisite appreciation of the niceties of life. One of their most cherished treasures was their sterling silver, which they had in abundance and from which they drank and feasted. It was their acecredited tableware as it was of the nobles of the Roman empire, Cups and vessels of this precious metal have come down to ‘us through the ages in a perfect state of preservation.
