by Milam, of Logan County, who seeks the Democratic nomination for Senator from this, the Fifth senatorial district, composed. of the counties "of Logan, and Todd. Inasmuch as rotation system has existed in the district, prior to the change by the last Legislature, it is Logan County's time to provide the candidate, and the natural supposition would be that when the Democracy of Logan announces its choice, complete acquiesence will follow.

Victory Pigs Listed BOWLING GREEN BOND MEETING DUNCAN'S THEME Franklin Lions Club to Sponsor 'Cigarettes-for-Soldiers' Campaign.
At the regular weekly meeting the Lions Club Tuesday evening, Lion Cyril Duncan, who had attended a meeting of the Regional Bond district representatives at Bowling Green Wednesday night of last week, when plans were laid for the April drive for War Bonds, gave members a comprehensive idea of the vast undertaking which will challenge the best endeavors of all the people throughout the territory embraced in the district of which Simpson is a part. According to the advices given Mr. Duncan, nobody is asked to undertake the impossible, and he expressed the hope and belief that the members of the club would invest every dollar possible to spare, for aside from the fact that the investment is a sound business venture, the salient truth must weigh more heavily that in supporting our soldiers in the field through the purchase of War Bonds, we are guaranteeing the continuation of the American way of life. Following Mr. Duncan's talk, the Lions pledged themselves to give full cooperation to the committee in charge of Bond sales.
It also determined that the Club should sponsor a movement to provide cigarettes for the soldiers overseas, and as a beginning funds were "set apart for the purpose of purchasing. 500 packages as a part initial shipments. Containers will be placed at various business bouses in Franklin and in the County, where contributions, will be received the purpose of making the undertaking worthwhile by giving an opportunity for have part. It was given out that while the I concerted drive for. "Victory Pig Club" has not as yet been fully volunteers to the number of 300 have pledged pigs, and little doubt exists that the goal set at 1,000 will be reached.
The first venture proved gratifying and served to give the County a good name throughout the Nation, as the sale of bonds exceeded the most sanguine expectations. The Washington government and her allies are doing everything possible to be done to win the war, and our people are entitled to a full measure of praise for their ready response to every call. Nothing could be more gratifying to the Franklin Club than to know that the "Victory Pig Club" had met with the same' reception our people accord every undertaking having for its object the support of the soldiers, sailors and marines. Guests at Tuesday evening's meeting were Mr. Charles Knuckles of Bowling Green, Messrs.

Dear Editor: I received the December 31 issue of The Franklin Favorite today, and even though it was a little late, I want you to know it was enjoyed very much.
The job that I hold calls for a good deal of work at night. I find that your paper not only helps pass away the long hours of what we fellows call the "Hoot-owl but also gives one a great enjoyment. Most fellows like to boost their home town among their fellowmen, and since I have just about memorized the edition that I have, I will be able to out argue the boys tell them what "My Home Town" is doing to help win the war. It makes me sad to see that several of my home folk have -passed away the past year. Thanks for the paper.

CANCELS CONVENTION At a called meeting of the Board of Directors of the Kentucky Education Association Saturday, March 20th, the question of the cancellation. of the formal program of the K.E.A. convention was discussed. It was the opinion of the Board that in view of the continued efforts of the government to curtail gatherings, which. would involve travel, that as a patriotic measure the convention should not be held this year.
It was further stated that facilities for entertaining such a convention in the city of Louisville in the month of April would be entirely too the crowded conditions of hotels and the consequent inability of members to obtain rooms would make it impossible for many delegates to come. Further reasons cited were the fact that service for hotels and restaurants has been so hampered and the rationing of food supplies been so necessary that the entertainment of large, delegations is no longer practicable. Board, therefore, authorized the cancellation of the convention and provided for the holding of the meeting of the Delegate Assembly, the Planning Board, and the Board of Directors. These groups will take care of the business of the Association and establish the machinery for carrying on efforts to keep the schools in Kentucky open and to provide the teachers of Kentucky with a living wage.

He WAS arrested by Chief of Police Shoulders. Large Corn Yield Prospect CORN YIELD OF 2,900,000,000 BUSHELS PREDICTED Experts Do Not Expect the Crop to Equal Big One Produced Last Year. Chicago, March corn crop of about 2,900,000,000 bushels WAS forecast today grain men on the basis of the Government's statistics on acreage of that grain which farmers intend to plant. Intentions to plant call for a total of 96,827,000 acres, which on the basis of the 1942 yield of 35.5 bushels to an acre, would produce, a crop of 3,334,000,000 bushels. Grain men said, however, that the yield last year was abnormally large, setting an all-time record, as 8 result of unusually favorable weather conditions which prevailed throughout the entire growing season.
It is not believed that another year of similarly favorable weather can be expected. Instead of a yield of 35.5 bushels to an acre, therefore, grain men consider the 1941 yield of 31 bushels to an acre more likely to apply for the coming year. On that basis, they estimated crop of 2,990,000 bushels, allowing for 3 normal difference between acreage planted and acreage harvested. Whatever the size of the crop, it is believed there will be a market for it. Record numbers of hogs are being farrowed on farms this spring and the autumn is expected to produce another record crop.
In addition to livestock feed, corn is in heavy demand from industries.
