CHILDREN WATCHING OVER CLUB PORKERS I WITH ZEALOUS CARE : Visits to the boys and girls -who are members of the Wayne County Pig TClub for this year, discovers a lively interest in the club work among the members, with a keen competition between them. Fountain City, Green's Fork, Centerville, and Cambridge are the cities laround which most of the club memlibera are grouped, with a scattering Taround Milton and Richmond. I Gains of over a pound a day are fhown by records so far, and pigs be--longing to the boys and girls who are ;club members, are thriving amazingly. Literally "pigs are in clover" in several peases. On almost every farm the pigs are given the run of some pasture, twhich if it does not afford clover, at rieast gives exercise and opportunity Ifor green stuff so necessary for ;healthy growth. I Rations Mixed. Rations for the pigs are mixed according to careful formulas and administered to the pigs with more care than the children display in their own meals, while the appetites and general .disposition of the pigs are the subjects '-of a zealous solicitude on the part of Jthe youthful owners. Needless to say, .the pigs are responding in a way that lis surprising the parents as well as the ;children in many cases, ; Although there are some cases of pigs which have not made as high gains in the neighborhood, the owners ;are not worried, remembering that judging is on the basis of the work rather than simply the size of the I finished pig. . It has been emphasized from the! -.start that the object of this contest i i .1 hiiuuia oe to grow out a good stocK !hog, rather than a feeding contest, 'and even if a boy or girl does not have ;as fine a pig as another, with judging .on the basis of the work done as well ;as on the pig, several stand a good ;chance for first place w hich they could not expect if judging wason the basis of the pig alone. - Friendly Rivalry There have been several cases of pigs, often in the same family, which! nave come irom amerent nreeaers, one making a mucji better showing than the other at the start, but being outstripped later by the other pig. In such families there is a very intense, though friendly rivalry. ' There are 13 families which have more than one child entered, either brothers or brother and sister, and often the sister i3 showing herself a better hog raiser than her brother. There are three families which have three members of the pib club, Bernice. Evelyn and Kenneth, children of Frank Williams of Williamsburg; Antna, Linville and Verda Wissler, children of Benton Wissler, .southwest of Centerville, and the children of Charles Weadick on the Green's Fork pike, Edward, and his sisters, Margaret and Loretta, who have a partnership pig, the only one in the club.

The pool opens every morning at 8 o'clock and closes every night at 9:30. It is well equipped with electric lights for the night swimmers. The manager states that if he continues to keep the management of the "old swimmin' hole" several changes will be made and every effort will be made to have improvements made that the public desires.

Many of the children are taking advantage of the free swim and this morning about 50 to 75 of our future expert swimmers were taking the free dip. The period for the children is from 8 o'clock until 10 o'clock. During the past three weeks the attendance in the pool has broken all records in its history.

The busiest time of the day is from the hours of 4 o'clock in the evening until closing time, the bathers taking their dip after the hot sun, has gone down.

EATON LEADS MIAMI VALLEY IN YIELDS OF TOBACCOiCROPS POOR A- poor tobacco yield for the near parts of the Miami valey is predicted for this year, with the single exception of the Eaton region, where local rains have put tobacco plants ahead of other neighborhoods. , "Tobacco looks very nice around Eaton and New Hope." said Harry Fudge, tobacco buyer of Eaton, Tuesday. We had good rains after planting, which brought the plants on in good shape, and ju6t yesterday, we had another good rain which spread over a large territory. The outlook is for a pretty good crop just in this region, althiough I do not know how prospects are elsewhere." "Tobacco around Eldorado will not make more than about a third of the usual amount," said Frank Blackford, of that region. "Owing to the dry weather, much acreage that might have been planted to tabacco-was never put out, and what was planted late in June or in July dosen't look very prosperous." Mr. Blackford adds. "We had a nice rain Monday, but is was late to help except with the tobacco that had already been put out. What plants are out do not look as thrifty as they should for this season of the year." Smaller Acreage "The acreage is only one-third to one-half of normal," said Frank Gazell, tobacco warehouseman of West Alexandria and government crop reporter. "Many farmers are tending five and six acres to harvest tobacco that should be grown on two acres. They are trying to raise all that is still standing because of the poor stad this year. On account of the dry weather here, it was impossible to get all the tobacco set out and much that was set died later." A poor condition of the tobacco also was reported, by Mr. Gazell. "I have estimated the yield of the tobacco at aboue 60 per cent," he said, "and that is higher by 10 per cent than is allowed by farmers and other authorities here. In addition to the cut in acreage, there will be a further cut due to a poor yield. This condition also holds for Germantown which 1 visited a week ago. We had a good rain Monday, but we should have it two weeks ago to get our tobacco out." You Can Depend Upon the It used to be said, , "Oh, that's just an advertisement." But that isn't true about present-day retailers' advertisements in such papers as The Richmond Palladium- Time is too short to misrepresent in advertisements. It would be mighty poor business for the Richmond merchant to lead you into his store to seek some special item which he has announced in The Palladium the evening before and to convince you that he had grossly misrepresented that item to you. Of course, once in a while an error does occur, but it is very seldom. You will find advertisers in The Palladium 100 in every particular.

The plumbers decided Monday night to return to work at once for 80 cents an hour, pending a new agreement with the Master Plumbers. This has not been accepted by the Masters yet, but probably will be signed Tuesday night at a conference of both sides. Some delay may be occasioned in regard to working agreements, it is stated. The carpenters seem to be no nearer a settlement. Both sides seem to be waiting for tho other to make the first move.
