Coptrary to popular belief, this coun-
try is no ways short of hogs. We have
plenty of them, but unfortunately
there are many of them that are not
available for pork, although they are
constantly engaged in accumulating
that article. Neither are they classed
among, the tribe of hogs proper, for
which if the other hogs could think
they would doubtless give thanks.
This useless brand of hogs are like
Kipling’s bear that “walked like a
man." And it is about the only man-
ly attribute that one can detect in
them, because even this accomplish-
ment is utilized for actions that would
shame any self-respecting hog that is
compelled to go on four feet.
It is a*favorite practice of this hog,
since the food regulations went into
effect, to put all his hoggish intellect
to work on schemes to outwit the
authorities. When sugar is limited
to 25 cents worth to a customer, he
will visit stores into which he never
before set foot in search of ^ugar, in-
tent only on laying in a supply for his
hoggish wants, even though others
may go without.
He is the same fellow who raises
Cain with his grocer for refusing to
sell him all the flour he wants, and
abuses the hotel and restaurant men
for refusing to serve him meat or light
bread on meatless and wheatless days
When the food administration goes
after the CONSUMER and compels
him to obey the letter and spirit of
the law—which must come if we are
to succeed in the task we have set
ourselves—this particular breed of hog
is going to have hard sledding.
anywhere in San Patricio County.
We have received several communi-
cations from parties heretofore from
your vicinity, which we were unable
to consider ior lack of jurisdiction.
Will you have this announcement
printed in your local paper at Sinton,
Texas at the first opportunity as our
time is too limited to answer all com-
munications, and by so doing publicity
will be given the matter to those who
may be interested.
Thanking you for this favor, I beg
