Kigin of Purdue University, who talked on swine diseases at the Hagerstown farm Institute Friday and will talk on the same subject at the Centerville meeting Saturday, says war conditions are partly responsible for the alarming spread of hog diseases In Indiana In the last two years. Mixing of hogs in centers from which they are redistributed for fattening, by which hogs from half a dozen different counties might go to the same farm for fattening, is the chief reason for this spread. Unscrupulous dealers who by means of tricks got hogs .passed as healthy after they had been rejected several times are also partly to blame. Hog cholera used to be the only disease which was really dreaded by hog growers, but hog typhoid, swine plague, sore mouth and blackleg are ipreadlng, while cholera has been very efficiently controlled by the use of rerum. There is only one disease which seems to be totally new and this may be a combination of two other known diseases appearing in the animal at the same time, said Dr. Kigin. Y. M. C. A. Bible Classes to Start Membership Drive Presidents and teachers of men's Bible classes of Richmond churches will meet Friday evening at 7:30 o'colck at the Y. M. C. A. to discuss plans for a city-wide membership campaign according to I C. Carlander, secretary of the T. M. C. A., Friday. Harrison Scott, chairman of the religious work committee of the Y. M. C. A., will preside. All presidents and teachers of every men's Bible class in the city are invited to attend. The campaign plans will be made at the meeting. The drive will be pushed while the church attendance campaign Is in progress. All details of the men's Bible class membership drive will be made and vorked out. A goal probably will be fet at this conference toward which the Bible class workers will strive. Sextette Gives Program At High School Chapel ' High school students were treated to one of the best chapel programs of the year Friday morning. The high school sextette presented a program of unusual merit. The sextette, under the direction of Miss Edna Marlatt, assistant supervisor of music, rendered with skill and charm Its program unusually well. The sextette is composed of Mary Jones and J. Corwin Brown, violins; Helen Rowland, 'cello, Marlus Fossenkemper, clarinet and Helstand Brown, flute. Beechler of Nutley, N. J., an old college friend of Principal Kelly, who was visiting In Richmond Friday, made a short talk to the pupils, complimenting them upon their splendid opportunities. The latter half af the chapel hour was turned over to the students for a ."pep" session. Mr. Vernon with the aid of R. C. Sloan, introduced . somo new songs which will be Bung by the students. The "Hl-Y" club sang the songs for the students and then led them In the singing.

WILL FRINGE GO? By the looks of this smart trieolette frock it would seem that fringe will go to any length at all to be fashionable. Belgian blue is the color of the frock and the invariable collar and cuffs are trimmed with narrow white ortrandie ruffles. RECORD-BREAKING HENS DUBLIN, Ind., Feb. 28. Mrs. Margaret Demaree of Dublin, has three hens which can set the record for any poultry in the state. They were hatched on Decoration day, and one pullet celebrated the war's close by laying its first egg the day the armistice was signed. In 106 days the three hens have produced 168 eggs, an average of 56 eggs each. There were but five days during that time when the hens failed to lay. Of the 168 eggs laid three had double yolks. Mrs. Demaree's chickens are also unique in another respect, she claims. She says she has raised them in an open yard, where a garden and flowers were raised, and that the chickens never damaged either. GILLETT SELECTED HOUSE SPEAKER WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 Republi can representatives in the sixty-sixth congress today had completed their preparations for organization of the next house with Representative Frederick H. Gillett, of Massachusetts, as speaker. After one of the most spirited speakership nomination contests in recent years, Mr. Gillett was selected by the Republican conference last night as its nominee, and, barring an improbable split in the party ranks, will succeed to the office now held by Champ Clark, of Missouri, Democrat The .Massachusetts representative received 139 votes; James B. Mann, of Illinois, the present Republican floor leader, 69; Representative Philip Campbell, of Kansas, 13, and five votes were scattering. Upon motion of Representative Mann, the nomination of Mr. Gillette was made unanimous. Some Republican representatives pointed out today that although Representative mann was defeated in the speakership race, by virtue of the selection of a - large number of representatives favorable to him on the committee on committees, he probably would be chosen as floor leader in the next house. The committee on committees will meet next Wednesday to select a floor leader, a party whip and formulate recommendations os to membership of the standing committees.
