According to the Uureau of Agri cultural Economics fewer hogs are in prospect in most of the Important producing countrlea of the world !>< creased Hlaughtcr 1h reported In <l? rmany, Denmark, NetherlundH, CzochoHlovakia, qnd Poland. Slaughter supplica in the Unite/1 States says the hit i reau "are likely to continue small, at lcuHt until the summer of 193G." Retail meat prices have advuueed wliarply in recent monthu largely becauae of greutly reduced supplies available for conuumption. The quantity of meat from federally Inspected Blaughter wan 27 per cent lean in the flr?t four monthu of thlh year thun in the uume months of 1934. Part of the new advance in pork prices has been seasonal, since there Is a tendency for pork prices to rise during the late winter aiul spring because of u decline in hog marketlngh during tills period. Prices of the bettor grades of beef, on tho other hand, usually decline in the early part of tiie yepr because of seasonal increase in slaughter. The great shortage of pork this year undoubtedly has been an Important factor contributing to the rise In beef prices. Scarcity of tho better grades of beef in the total has been much smaller than usual. The proportion of steer beef in the total lias been much smaller than usual. The shortage In feed supplies also caused the general quality of the cattle slaughtered this year to be much below average. Prices received by farmers for hogs declined 22 cents per 100 pounds .during the month ended April lfith, reMeeting a slight increase in hog slaughter and lower prices for fresh pork in wholesale markets. Local market prices of live hogs declined i generally throughout the country during this period, but at $7.88 per ion pounds in mid-April the price of hogs was $4.30 higher than the price of hogs a year earlier. Recent press reports indicate a buy| ers strike against retail meat shops* | in the North and West because of the inability of many families to pay nir-' rent meat prices. A group of house-wives recently descended upon Washington demanding lower retail meat prices; stating that they were getting tired of eating vegetables without meat. Of course high prices pftid for hogs by the packinghouse markets is reflected in the farmers' income. This increased farm wealth is rapidly spent for things needed by the farmer mid thus all classes are benefitted, except these consumers whose Incomes are rigidly restricted. My advice to farmers in the South is?take care of your hogs; feed them well; so you will have pork next winter and meat to sell?even though you may have to pay a tax on what you sell.

He may Ioho IiIh shirt in the fray, hut he think it worth the candle. And he expects it will take him four years to do a good Job of it. iloili 11 Duct and Jupau found themselves faced with "border incidents." Tito former was constantly having to order his colonial troops in Italian Somali land to repel the attacks of raiding Ethiopians, and Japan was called upon to cope with a similar situation ulong the Chinese-Jehol frontier. The offending parties were at once issued a set of demands and although in the case of China the demands were met Japan moved in on tiie new territory anyhow. In the face of what Mussolini told ('apt. Anthony Eden, llritisli minister witiiout portfolia, during ids visit to lloma noth-. Ing will avail Ethiopia. Italy is bent on conquering that country willy-nilly. Before tilings reached such a blunt stage II Duce offered all manner of excuses us to wby he wub preparing for his African campaign. There was tlrst of all the border incidents. Hut Ethiopia was a bit too willing to arbitrate thetn and besides certain Englishmen knew first-hand the Ethiopians had not provoked one particular incident as Italy intimated. After that it wan for the purpose of liberating tin- thousands of slaves which were enchained in the African Empire. Emperor Haile Selassie, however, lacking a sense of humor, immediately set free tlie slaves?thus knocking that prop from beneath the stalwart Mussolini frame. After that came the population obsession. For a long time Mussolini has been crying about the overpopulation of Italy, how the country must have room for expansion, the people some place to eke out a living in some spot besides 'the overcrowded homeland. Just why this is so is not exactlyclear, for Italy unlike many other European nations has colonies?and large ones; too. In view of the fact that the area of Italy is roughly 110000 square miles and we are told by Signer Mussolini himself that it is impossible for the Italian people to continue living there in such masses. it is only reasonable to wonder why this excess, could not be, sent to the colonies where some 871,Onu square miles of land are awaiting settlers. Surely in such an expanse? nearly eight times tlie size of the mother country?the teeming millions (there are about 41 millions) could find elbow room without having to acquire Ethiopia for the very same reason. While this overpopulation bugbear has been in the air for some time, the most recent utterance on that topic was made during the EdenMussolini talks when II Duce cited statistics and pointed out the necessity for Italian emigration. While the problem may need some attention at the present moment it Certainly is not pressing, inasmuch as Italy's birth rate since 192.7 has steadily decreased. These excuses of Mussolini's have been mostly for home consumption for certainly the world at large takes no stoc k in them, nor does 11 Duce apparently expert it to from the talk he bad with (.'apt. Eden. He made it plain tie hud promised 1 iis soldiers a campaign in Atrica and lie had to keep bis promises, it was impossible tor 11iin to accept compromises or to accept ' dictation bv the League of Nations." He intimated strongly Italy would bolt tbi> league, just us Japan did ovt r the Manchurian affair, if any attempt is made to stop her. Should tlie Ethiopian Emperor be willing to accept an Italian protectorate.' no fighting will be necessary, H Duce told. ( apt. Eden, but resistance will bring on the combined force of the Italian army. With characteristic less fanfare Japan has slowly achieved her ends in the Far East. Her course was set on the seizure of Manrhuria and later of Jeliol a ml nothing in high' heaven could stop her. The league protested and Japan resigned, the I'nited States protested and the protest was politely shunted to one side. No war was declared yet a war went on and was concluded by the Truce of Tangku in 1933. Japan was after all. she said, only protecting Chinese interests. And so it is at the present time with Chaliar Province slowly succumbing to Japanese domination, and so It will be until all of China is under the iron heel of the Tokoyo militarists who in the same way hold all of Japan in the hollow of their mailed fist.

Eleven Belgian tourists were drowned when a motorbus In which they were passengers, overturned in the Campine canal near Tttrnhout, Belgium. Ten other passengers swam to safety,. 'Big Shot' Crooks Built Near Lake Situated on a lpt that measures nearly an acre, in the Blue church aection of Lexington county, which ia that aection on the eaat aide of Lake Murray, about a mile up the river from the dam, ia one of the prettiest homes on the lake front, built something over a year ago, and recorded in the clerk's office on May 8, 1934, in the name of Mra. Eva Moser. There are several pretty homes in < this vicinity on the lake, but the Moser house is a little more pretentious and a little better built, probably, than any of the others. The foundation of the house is native granite, secured in the neighborhood, and put in place, according to several Ijexington people who have seen the house, by expert stone masons. The house, while of frame construction, is of the best materials, and those who l&ave seen the Interior state it is furnished with exquisite taste and that the furnishings indicate no stint of money. The grounds have been landscaped, the house sitting on a nice elevation overlooking the lake, the house and grounds presenting what would be termed the perfect summer home of some man of wealth. Such is the hide-out selected by Adolph Moser and his wife, whom, it is said, at one time lived in Columbia and is well acquainted with a good many prominent people in that city. While Moser did not circulate much in Lexington, Mrs. Moser is well known to a good many people in the county seat. Solicitor Callison and Clerk of Court Harmon know Mrs. Moser well, having met her on occasions when she had business in their offices. They described her as a woman of about 30 years of age, highly intelligent and with many womanly charms. The Mosers were arrested Monday at their home on the lake by federal officers, both of them being charged with complicity in a $50,000 swindle of an aged Rochester, N. Y., couple more than a year ago, or just prior to the time that the pretty house waB built on the lake. When Mrs. Moser first ^appeared in the clerk's office, on the occasion when she had the deed to the lot on which the pretty house is situated, she stated that her husband was then in Europe, and that she was building the house and would have it ready as a surprise to him upon his return. It is said that Moser is a hunter and sportsman, and a good many Lexington sportsmen have enjoyed bird shooting and other sports with him. I According to those who have asiofl ciated with the Mosers most, both ot^H them seemed on the "up and up" | no one, so far as known, has ere? suspicioned they were anything bat^B what they claimed?a well-to-do brak? I er's agent, living a quiet life In ul ] environment they liked. ? Moser and his wife were arreW^H last Monday by federal officers &fifl lodged in the Richland county Jail ifl default of bonds of $25,000 eac? Moser, it is said, stated before tbfl officers produced their warrants, tbifl j he knew "what they were therefor,? but Mrs. Moser denies any knowledg^M of her husband's criminal activitle? such as charged by the federal go? ernment. ^B Both have waived preliminary he&i^B lngs and have expressed a willingnes? to return to Rochester to stand tria^H on the charge of complicity in th? big swindle.
