To clear away a mistaken idea that apparently prevails in many sections of the country, Lewis B. Franklin, director of the war loan organization at Wash. ington has announced that the War Sav- ings Certificates do not have to be cash- ed before January 1. War savers are advised to save their thrift cards and use them in 1919. In a statement Mr. Franklin said “ War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps are as good as gold whether your certificates or thrift card is com- pletely filled or not. The idea that un- filled certificates must be cashed befor January 1 is absolutely baseless, The Government will continue to sell Thrift Stamps so that you can fill out these cats and exchange them for the 1919 issue of War Savings Stamps. ” First prize in the rural mail carriers War Savings Stamp contest for the month ending December 15 went to Cla- ence B. Colvin, of Shellburg, Bedford County, who with nivety boxes on his route sold $1,870 worth of stamps, an average of $21 for each box, Oliver J. Peter, Slatington, Lehigh County, 148 boxes, was second with $3060collected, an average of $20.68, Chalice W, Morgal, Lebanon, the third man, 180 boxes, collected $3.424.75, ay age $19. 03. Alonzo L.

S— Nearly 5000 Acres Timberland in Greens Valley Will Mean Work for Force of Men for Six Years. The McNitt-Huyett Lumber Com- pany has purchased a two-thirds interest in the Bilger lumber operations in or | Creons Valley, consisting of between four and five thousand acres of all kinds of timber, It is the purpose of the lumber com- pany to begin operations immediately on the big tract and it is estimated that from twenty-five to forty men will have work for nearty six years on the opera- tion. Several mills will be erected and a system of tramroads will be construct. to expedite the huge task of converting this vast region of timber into merchan table lumber, Our townsman, E, M, Huyett, a mem- ber of the firm and a lumberman of wide experience, will give his personal at- tention to organizing the work on the big job. Ssm———— AU A ——— Results of Pig Breeding Clubs. The two pure-bred Pig Breeding Clubs started last spring held their round-up in November at which time all the pigs were weighed and judged. The object in starting these Pig Breed- ing Clubs has been to get more pure- bred stock established in this county and to get boys and girls in these clubs interested in feeding and taking care of good stock, These clubs were organized in cooper. ation with the First National Bank of State College, and the Centre County Banking Co., of Bellefonte, The pigs introduced for these clubs were all pure- bred registered sow pigs, the Dale Summit Club selecting the Duroc Jersey breed and the Julian Club the Berk- shires, The pigs were all put out during April and May and were financed by the banks by taking notes for a year with the parents’ security. This will give the members an opportunity turns before they have to put up the money for the pigs. A few of the mem bers however, paid for their pigs cash, During the past summer t been run in a feeding fall all the pigs ™ each club were round- ed together where they were judged, scored and prizes awarded. The Julian Club, of nine pure.bred Berkshire sows, made an average gain of 125.3 pounds in 130 days or an aver- age daily gain of 1.19 pounds per day. The largest gain in this club 4 pounds or a daily gain of 1.6 pounds per day. This pig was fed by Edward Myers, The first, prize, a pure.bred sow pig presented by the Penna. State College, from whom the pigs were purchased, was won by Harold Alexander. The second prize, a W. 8S. 8S. presented byl, the Centre County Banking Company, was won by Edward Myers. The Dale Summit Club, twelve pure-bred Duroc Jersey made an average gain of 140.1 pounds 139 days or an average daily gain of 1 pound per day. The largest gain m this club was 188 pounds or a daily gain of 1.52 pounds, which was fed by Isa- belle Zettle. The first prize, a pure. bred sow pig, presented by Mr. G. § Barnhart, of Westmoreland County, from whom the pigs were purchased, was won by Orlando Houta, The sec ond prize, a W. 8. 8. presented by the First National Bank, of State College, was won by Isabelle Zettle, These pigs are all being bred to pure- bred boars for spring litters. The effect this pure-bred stock should have will be seen not only on the individual farms but as a cummunity proposition as a whole, without a doubt these communi. ties will come to be known as centres for good pure-bred hogs and is a start in this kind of work that should be expand. ed over other parts of the county.
