Hogs Most Versatile
Of Farm Animals
Clemsou College, Doe. SI .?The re
is no class of livestock which can be
used under as many different conditions
as hogs, and that is why they
are in every state in the Union, and
in every county of each state, says
L. V. Starkey, head of the animal
husbandry division.
| "The hog. will take garbage from
the most lowly country home or from
the largest city and manufacture it
into an edible pro<lbct," continues
Mr. Starkey. "He will glean the
grain from the fields of wheat, oats
or barley, harvest many good rations
I from the potato fields after the crop
has been harvested by man, and complete
the peanut and soybean harvesting
after the harvesters have
done their work. Hogs follow cattle
wbieh have been fed whole grain and
convert the undigested kernels-Sfhto
meat, harvest the entire corn crop
ai)d do a better job of it than the
farmer can do, enter the forests and
produce pork from acorns, chestnuts,
etc,, and invade the swamps and live
from roots and tubers. There is no
other farm animal that will adapt
himself to suc^ a variety of conditions.
"The question arises?Are we making
use of the hog to the best advantage?
Are we giving him a chance?
Is it not true that there are tons and
tons of feed going to waste each year
which the hog would transform into
dollars and cents?
I>et's build some good fences and
make use of this opportunity."
SJays His Family;
Takes His Own Life
Walnut Cove, N. C., Dec. 20.?
Stokes county was preparing today
for the funeral tomorrow o? Charles
1). Lawson, shotgun slayer, and his
j seven victims, all members of his
I family.
Preparations were made to place
the eight in one huge grave near
here, burying together Lawson and
his wife and six children, who were
killed when he suddenly ' became insane
Christmas day, shooting or
beating them to death.
One member of the family remains
to mourn. Arthur, 19, on a visit at
his uncle's home near Germantown,
when the Christmas day tragedy occurred,
will see the bodies of his
parents and his brothers and sisters,
Marie, 17; Carrie, 14; Maribelle, 10;
James, 7; Raymond 5; and Mary Lou,
5 months, lowered into their grave.
1 he wholesale killing occurred some
time Christmas afternoon. Five of
the bodies were discovered in the
house. The mother and her oldest
daughter were shot in the breast.
James, Raymond and Mary Lou appeared
to have been beaten to death
with a blunt instrument.
Some distance away in a tobacco
barn, where they appeared to have
sought refuge from their maniac
father, Carrie and Maribelle were discovered,
dead, shot in the back.
In a wood nearby, the father had
shot himself.
Before he shot himself, Lawson
had placed pillows under the heads
of each of his victims, closed their
eyes and folded their hands over their
breasts. Crowds
of curious people today
gathered at the Lawson home, to reconstruct
tlie *ro &&A v
v Although
at first it was believed
a blow on the head a year ago haJ
caused JLawson's mental derangement,
physicians who examined his
brain today said thefe was no evidence
of such a blow and indicated
that a degenerative process had been
found in the middle of the brain.
Dr. B. J. Helsabeck, Stokes county
coroner, who with Dr. Spotswood
' Taylor, surgeon in Johns Hopkins
j hospital, Baltimore, performed the
; autopsy, said the theory that a sharp
. blow on the head had caused Lawson's
action had been discounted. Dr
i Taylor has been visiting in Stokes
county and will take the brain t(
Baltimore for further investigation
| The treasury at Washington last
j week received $12,000,000 from the
government of France, under the
. terms of the Mellon-Berenger agree
| ment for funding the deft of Franct
' to the United States growing out ol
j the World War.
President Hoover on last Mondaj
| signed a bill appropriating $15,950,
| 000 to be used for the construction
j of additional, veterans' hospital facil
j ities throughout the country. An in
j crease of 4,491 beds is provided ir
i the new law. This measure bring;
the total authorized for*'expenditure
! for hospitals under the Veternns' Bu
reau to $104,435,492.

Clockmaker of
Asheville Dies
Asheville, N. C., Dec. 28.?Making
its last weak stroke at 4:55 o'clock
this afternoon, the pendulum of life
ceased to swing within the breast of
Louis William Jeaneret, 72, and
Asheville's famous Swiss clockmaker
passed to his reward.
Mr. Jeaneret built the clock in the
tower of the old Buncombe county
courthouse and tended it until the
building .was torn down early this J
year. In the 25 years it stood, the
clock was never allowed to stop or to j
get out of order. The maker and
keeper watched over its mechanism
tenderly.
When he was forced to bed by ill- !
ness in October, 1928, which was the
cause of his death, Mr. Jeaneret
would trust no one to wind it save
his wife, who although a frail little
woman, kept the trust of her mate
and made regular trips to the top
of the tower to keep the clock in order.
When the new two million dollar
courthouse was built last year,
the old one was torn down and the
faithful clockmaker felt that his work
was ended.
Born in Locle+_SAvitzerland, in 1857,
Mr. Jeaneret came to AmeYica 50
years ago, locating in Asheville,
where he remained.
Rewards For Dog
Torturer Mount
St. Louis, Dec. 28.?The wOrld still
has a care for dfrdog?even a cur.
Evidence of -man's mindfulness of
his "faithful friend" is found in the
flood of telegrams, letters and telephone
calls received by the Missouri
Humane Society, here, offering rewards
for arrest of the person who
tortured a lowly cur last week by
sewing up the animal's , mouth with
a strong cord and then turning it
loose to starve. The dog was put to
death by the Humane Society.
Incensed, the society posted a $200
1 reward for the torturer. Since then
1 the reward fund has mounted to ap
proximately $2,000 through contribu;
tions from as far away as Georgia,
Texas, and California. Pledges have
[ ranged from school children's peni
nies to $100 subscribed by adults.
An orphanage of Deerefield, 111.,
r today pledged $200.
i Mayor Victor J. Miller today rei
ceived the following telegram from
. Mayor J. Waddy Tate, of Dallas,
> Texas, "When you catch the scound.
rel who sewed up the poor dog's
. mouth as reported in the press, ship
j him to Dallas. We have a way of
> .taking care of those fellows."
Police are bending every effort to
find the torturer,
