The .treasurer's report was followed by a very com- prehensive review of a the 'League's activities each month during the past year, This was prepared by Mrs, Frank Devereaux and testified in no small measure to the interest and zeal shown •by the members in the 'various > efforts which resulted • in such a credible showing and thus en- abled them to give at ready and gen- erous response to the many demands made upon ` therit. These included parochial, diocesan, social service, charity, educational, western mis- sions, etc. That the importance and value of this organization in any parish is recognized, was noted 'by Fr, Goetz in a short address in which also, while commending past efforts, he encouraged a continuance or if possible an 'increase of such, keeping ever in mind the motto of the: League, "For God and Country." retiring k to the After a vote of thanks g officers, and the Roil Call, the fol; lowing were elected' to carry on" for the corning year: Spiritual Adviser --!Rev. 0r.

One day last week a farmer plow- ing lowing in a field 'beside the gravel road a couple of miles north of Seaforth, was observed to be followed by a pig, which wandered along 'behind him in the furrow in a most com- penionable manner. The sight re- called this story in The Linotype News: ' ' "Uncle Lew read my story'the ether day about the boy and the pig, and said he, too, once had a pig for!, a pet. iIt was. during his apprentice'. days on 'a newspaper in Sedalia, Mo., that he secured a' baby pig. This little' pig made quite a nice pet, saYUncle Mary's Lewbut ut he was worse than it y s lamb for following,, cue- about Every morning when Uncle Lew set out for work in those 'prentiee. boy days, be- hind him "waddled the tittle pig, and the boy and his strange pet soon be- came a familiarsight to the people ,ef the -town. If Uncle, Lew escaped the .pig when he left home in the morn- ing, the pig would go alone to the of 'lice. A flight of steep steps led up to the printing office from the outside of the building. At the foot 'of these steps the pig would take his stand and squeal for all he was worth until' Uncle Lew would come' down and carry him to the composing room. "When the pig became a nuisance was it Uncle Lew's courting days, and he wanted to go calling on Inci girl; or take a stroll. Behind then wotticl waddle. that little pig, in spite of all 'Uncle Lew could do.": THANKS. Miss A. D.

Last Saturday, a goodly number of the Lions, assisted by willing workers .from the school boys, e a great reat o Y clean up at •the Swimming Park.

James Lennon, a former resident of Seaforth wino was widely known here, passed away in Detroit on Monday, April 1lth, He spent his early life here and' attended the Collegiate In- stitute and later +OsgoodeHall, To- ronto. He was keenly interested itt football and belonged to the well- known teams here at that time. After practising law for a timein .Seaforth, Exeter and Toronto, he went to De- troito where he has years ag 25 , since resided. Fou brothers and four sisters survive, Mrs. James Dev- ereaux, of .town, being a sister. The funeral was held on Wednesday morning ort the arrival of the 10:50 train, to 1St. James' Church, Rev. Fr. Goetz conducting the service. Inter- ment was trade itt St Columban cemetery. e THE HOG SITUATION IN HURON COUNTY. F,Togs were certainly a paying ,pro- position for the farmer in 1926. While there was some decrease involume, the average price per hundred was higher than in 1925 as was also the value per head. For the last three years the average value per hog on the Toronto market were as follows: 1924-$17.30; 1925—$25.50, 1926=$2,6,- 45. The ratio between feed costs and hog prices has been such that grains marlceted as pork returned a good profit. The farmer who claims that he hasn't been making money on his hogs is either off in his feeding methf�ods or his, book-keeping. Tile quality of our hogs is steadily improving, White there is a small increase in percentage grading select there is a big' improvement in -the quality of the thick smooth grade. It is estimated'by -a packer's official that there has 'been a 50 per cent. im- provement under the hog grading policy,: Regarding the outlook for 1927 there is no indication that hogs will cease to be profitable. `Prospects are that there will be little or no increase in supply in Canada or the U. S. during the coming year. It is gen- erally known now that in common with other commodities, hog supply and prices occur in more or less regular cycles. That is to say, that a period of high prices is followed by a period of lower prices, the volume of supply alternating in the opposite direction. We find, however, that sometimes some unusual factor will upset the cycle.' At present we find that we passed a 'high peak in 'hog prices last June when select hogs reached $16,70 per cwt. at Toronto, One might argue that now our prices could be . expected to continue de- creasing for year or so, but that is far from probable. One must con- sider that it is the world.supply and demand which determines 'price. Also that 'Canada's three .million hogs an- nually is only a morsel on the world market, especially since we use two millions of them at home. In the UJS., where a big portion of the wor'ld's pork is grown we find the corn 'borer and hog cholera com- bining to curtail production, and we. know that the European hog pro- ducing countries ;are ,limited ;by the fact that they must import their feeds. In the long run the man who :pro- duces an even supply of hogs from year to year stands to gain, as com- pared to the "in and outer" who sells his breeding stock, and buys, it back when prices are high, thus being able to sell. market hogs about the time prices are at their lowest again.
