Hog prices are soaring and it looks now like hogs are
going to be the fanners' best bet.
Why raise pigs and then loose them? A few extra
pigs will pay for a hog house.
Your county agent is sending out literature in regard
to hog houses that will prove very beneficial in a
financial way if you will follow the instructions on
circular 14.
We will be glad to help you figure out the best and
most economical individual or ccnonly house.

PLAN A NEW PARLEY
London, March 23. Another Eu
ropean conference similar to that held
in London last summer to put the
Daweg reparations plan Into ;effect
btrt thts year looking toward Euro
pean political reconstruction rather
than economic rehabilitations is the
subject of negotiations between the
British and French foreign offices
Preliminary plans for such a con
ference which would be held in Aug
ust, were revealed today as a result
of much week-end newspaper specu
lation which intimated that new sub
ject of disagreement had arisen be
tween London and Pari3 on tho sub
ject of European securities.
Realization by the French and
English governments of the neces
sity for finding a common basis up
on which to build a new European
security pact to replace the Geneva
protocol is responsible for the move
toward a general gathering of Euro
pean statesmen in the British cap
ital. The absence of the strong sup
port of the United States, which was
the greatest factor in the London
conference of 1924, will be felt great-
it vy l lie uruisu, uui, it is uum,
this will not prevent carrying out
the plans now being considered.
