Hillsboro, Ind. The prize gilts to be received here Thursday, as were the 18 received two weeks ago, are being paid for by interested business concerns and citizens of the county, who are “selling” or loaning the pig-s' to boys in Prof. Glazener’s agri culture class. Boys who receive the pigs agree to raise them on approved meth ods, under the close supervision of Prof. Glazener, and from the first litter from the gilt to repay the'buyer of the gilt with two pigs of the same high strain. They fur ther agree to raise at least one acre of corn as a feed project. Prof. Glazener is carrying a blanket insurance policy on the pigs as a safeguard against the in vestment made by the boys and the business concerns backing* them.

One Brevard man who went with the “Bonus Brigade” from Brevard sevei'al weeks ago, Jude Albert, is still in Washington with his comrades, and others are ex pecting to leave here within a few days to join with the several thousand who are still carrying on the fight for payment in foil of the adjusted compensation certif icates.
