In honor of the eighth anniversary of his march on Rome with the Fas cist army, two thousand different pub lic works are announced, represent ing a cost of $100,000,000. The new works include schools, gar dens, workmen’s dwellings, roads, new streets, restoration of Rome’s ancient glories. Mussolini appeared on horseback before 10,000 mutilated war veterans and was wildly cheered, as well he might be. No matter what happens hereafter, nobody can take from him one of the greatest successes in the world’s history. The British government wants to diminish or eliminate the perform ances, perfunctory flummery now, at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and invites .all other nations to do the same. Britain thinks the ceremonies keep alive the war spirit and inflict hardship on visiting statesmen, now expected to buy a wreath and hurry to the tomb on arrival. The ceremonies, 'that have no mean ing, might be omitted out of consid eration for the unknown dead man. Whoever he may he, he is entitled to rest now that the war has been over so long.

A herd of hogs can be improved by using a purebred boar and grade sow, but it can be improved much more quickly with purebred sows and a purebred sire. Even with only one sow, a good-sized herd can be obtained in a very short time. By starting with a purebred sow, keeping her sow pigs, and breeding them regularly, more than 300 pigs can be produced in 3 years.
