Praises of Hog are
Sung in Washington
WASHINGTON. June 29. The prais-
pb of the hog as a meat producing animal are sung by the department ot agriculture in an appeal today to farmers to raise hogs, hogs and still more hogs an the quickest and surest way of increasing the nation's meat supply."The hog is the most important ani- - mal to raise for meat and money," the statement says. "He requires less la
bor, less equipment, less capitol, mak
es greater gains per hundred pounds, concentrates and reproduces himself faster and in greater numbers than any other domestic animal. As a consumer of by-products the hog has no rival. No other animal equals the lard hog in its fat-storing tendency; There Is no animal which produces more meat and more profit
than the hog. "Very near 60 per cent of the value In dollars and cents in the meat and neat-products slaughtered in the packing houses of the United States in normal times, and the war greatly has Increased this proportion." The statement then points out that there was a decrease of 313,000 hogs et the end of 1916 compared with the previous year and adds: "If we expect to continue to provide meat to foreign peoples as well as our own people, every farmer must put forth the best effort to produce more bog."

LIQUOR REDUCES GOAL PRODUCTION, AVERS OPERATOR WASHINGTON, June 29. Eliminate strong drink from the coal producing states. J. D. A. Morrow, of the Pittsburgh ' Coal Producers Association, told the senate interstate commerce commitee today, and coal production can be increased 25,000,000 tons a year with an adequate car supply.
. In the Pittsburgh district alone, he said, production would be increased
,000,000 tons.
"Alcoholic liquor is one of the worst enemies of the miners in western Pennsylvania," said Mr. Morraw. "It is impossible to get men to work more than a few days a week even when the car supply permits. The same trouble exists in Illinois and Ohio and also was felt in Indiana until that state became dry. Give up liquor and the production of those states would be increased 25,000,000 tons a year." Mr. Morrow said the car supply question was worse in the Pittsburgh district than any other place in the United States. He declared that railroads had sufficient coal cars but sent them to mills for steel and other products.

PIRATE SHIP IN GOLF OF MEXICO
MEXICO CITY, June 24, (By Mail) Both land and sea forces are engaged In an effort to capture a pirate
schooner called the Marl seal which It
is said, has been preying on the email towns and on fishing boats along the coasts of Vera Cms and Tabasco. The Maiiscal which belongs to the Com panla Shcplotadora de Dorantes operating In Tabasco, was seized by a band of rebels some time ago and, cruising close along the coast, has terrorized the fishing fleets of that section. It is said the men of the schooner have headquarters somewhere near the bar of Tonala but make frequent incursions into the rivers emptying into the gulf, ravaging such towns as are too weak to resist them. ' The gunboats sent to capture the Mariscal have been evaded by the schooner because the latter is of such light draft she is able to take refuge in rivers and shoal water where the .gunboats cannot penetrate and . the land forces have been ordered to co-operate from the shore.
