'Pa' Kettle Wears A1 Smith Derby The hist of the famous Al Smith derbies belongs to Percy Kilbride. Actor Kilbride, who not the der by as a present from the late poli tician back in 1930, says that, to the best of his knowledge, there isn't another one of the famous skimmers in existence. Battered and slightly moth-eat en. the derby is still serving the actor, who is currently wearing it ip his role as "Pa" Kettle in Uni versal ?Intel' 'national's "Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair," which also stars MarjoriQ Main and will open Sun day at the Beaufort theatre. Kilbride was presented with the hat at a Lamb's Club dinner hon oring Smith in 1930. At the same time. Smith presented duplicates to magician Howard Thurston and band leader Ben Bernie. Both of these performers lost their souve nir hats prior to their respective deaths. Kilbride has made good use of the derby. He's worn it in fifteen legitimate stage plays and in twelve motion pictures since Smith pre sented it to him twenty-two years ago. Several people have tried to ac quire the hat as a collector's item at one time or another. Highest offer came from a Detroit theatre owner who offered to write a check for one thousand dollars. Kilbride said no. Incidentally, the famous derby isn't brown any more. Kilbride had to have it dyed black for movie camera purposes.

Jack Kelly, extension swine spe cialist, spoke at Saturday's annual meeting and predicted higher prices for hogs in the coming months. He declared that produc tion cost will determine to a large extent the profit on putting hogs on the market. Kelly Recommended expert management and culling of unprofitable brood sows. "We are feeding too many worms," he commented. "It re quires just as much feed to grow a hog to 176 pounds on internal parasite-infested lots as it does to grow a hog to 240 pounds under sanitary conditions." C. S.
