THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. AUGUST 3. 191Y. UXZlJ August 2 Columbia Gets Red Cross Pig. "To market, to market, to buy a fat pig, Home again, home again, jiggety jig" used to be the story. Now it is en tirely different. Little red pigs sold in a market square for the benefit of the Red Cross are delivered by well-to-do farmers to the purchasers in seven-passenger automobiles. When Miss Helene Bixby went down to riatlsmouth to serve as "Co lumbia" last Saturday she found that among other attractions at the "coun try store" were two of the cutest lit tle red pigs imaginable. These little porkers weighed about fifty pounds each and were being hotly contested for by the throng of people who attended the closing celebration of Red Cross week. Miss Bixby and the party of Omaha people who spent the week-end at a house party in Platts mouth were determined that one of the pigs should be hers, so that in due time the storekeeper delivered a squealing pig into her hands. Late at night he was escorted in due state to the scene of the house party and there ensconced in a wire chicken coop. Again a hose was turned on him and he received a sec ond shower bath. Ungrateful beast! When morning arrived he was no where to be found and the whole company started out to scour the countryside in search of the pig. When the farmer who had donated the pigs heard that Miss Bixby's pig had run away he came driving to her stopping place in his seven-passenger car with another little red pig. This one had a little white saddle mark on top of its back and for that reason was more estimable than the ferst. Pig No. 2 was consigned to the wire chicken coop and it, too, received a shower bath. While the company ate dinner on Sunday the little rascal es caped, but a vigorous search brought him to light. Then the guests chris tened him Columbus first because he discovered the way out of his pen and second because he belonged to "Co lumbia." This little pig was crated Monday and delivered by express at Miss Bixby's home. No sooner was Columbus' crate open than he jumped out and took to his heels down the boulevard with all the little boys in the neighborhood giving chase. Au tomobiles grazed him or turned aside to avoid him as he slid over the slip pery street. Finally he was captured and one of the little boys has taken him to raise on shares. If he should reach maturity Miss Bixby expects to sell him for the benefit of the Red Cross. The Fort Crook band furnished just the right sort of music for the danc ing at rlattsmouth. Fnres for the best dancer being offered, Miss Bixby won the first prize, a ring, which she intended to put in Columbus nose Some one, as a joke, helped himself to it before she had a chance to dec orate the pig.
