GEPHART HOTEL Fern and Kirk E in the weight at which hogs can command the higher ceiling. The principal reason for lowering the ceiling on heavy hogs last May was to save feed by discouraging its use for increasing the weight of hogs beyond 240 pounds. The present hog supply is 28 per ce nt lower than last year, and extension of the higher ceiling prices to heavier hogs means more pork can be produced from the pigs on hand. Lard stocks, though still above the 1939-4- 3 average, are beginning to fall off at a rapid rate. Since lard is produced primarily from heavy weight hogs, extension of higher ceilings to .include heavier hogs will increase its production. Less individual sorting will be required to separate hogs over 270 pounds, since the production of hogs of that weight is much less than of those weighing .around 240 pounds and will lessen loss of weight during waiting period.

He surveyed with pride the glittering spruce, with shiny toys piled beneath. "Yes, Papa." Marie agreed. "It was nice that Mr. Bonsour keep the tree good for you this long. Perhaps Mary Ann. she will now believe." Again the old sadness came to Jules Greillon. Poor Marie! It was not well that a Cajun couple should be childless, yet God had so willed it and their habit of calling each other Mamma and Papa, begun years ago In hope, had long since been dropped. Jules' eyes dimmed as he remembered how the child had come to them, early in December, just before they were ready to leave for the usual three months of muskrat trapping. Mary Ann was five, chubby, yellow haired, daughter of his cousin from the hill country north. She was an alien to this lower coast land of marsh and water. But there Service station operators are warned that every counterfeit gasoline coupon which has been used to buy gas from the station supplier will hereafter be charged Kick against the inventory of the station from which it came, Ed Deakin, chairman of the local War Price and Rationing Board, announced. "If the dealer turns over coupons mat turn out to be counterfeit, or improperly endorsed, he is required to surrender valid coupons received from other sales to make good the invalid ones," the chairman said. "Until he has done so he cannot accept any more gasoline from any source and no distributor may sell to him." The caution has been found the best way to combat Black Market sales of gasoline. The Black Market operator who buys counterfeits and stolen coupons in large quantities from peddlers to cover sales of gasoline without coupons, will soon find himself with an inventory so reduced that he can no longer continue in business. -This 100 per cent 'debit' for in- - BUT... out-of-dat- e, " 7 """ 'V tdk - " LIBERTY THEATRE 1 A.

Warmth and cheer filled the place. But the two sitting there, waiting quietly but anxiously, scarcely realized this or that the bells and holly, the red and green paper, and the glimmering tree made the room a different world, a child's fairyland.

"He will come later, back in Timbalier." But the child had burst into tears. And she had never understood. Greillon was sure that it was this that had become the barrier Mary Ann and them. Somehow they could not break through it. "She does not have the faith in us. Mamma," he had said to Marie. "Perhaps later she will' Marie had said hopefully.
