Phillips returned with a small amount
of money and Jonathan Culbertson
with something more. Only short
time elapsed before Americans had
taken gold enough out of California
to pay for the vast territory obtained
from Mexico as a result of the war of
1916. Of the privations and suffer-
ings on the plains and in the noun
tains during those years there is but
little conception at this time of easy
and rapid travel across the continent.
1t might be of great advantage, as
William Matthews says to go back
and live with those men awhile, in
our minds, that we might appreciate
what they did for the civilization Of
the whole country. II might be well
to study the order of intellect and the
power of the men who made the
West what it is.

QUALITY NEGLECTED. FOR SIZE
In Breeding the Former Has Been
: Sacrificed to the Latter by Many
Farmers and Hog 3aisers.

OF late years 1t has become quite
fad with farmers and hog raisers to
let our finances run away with us and
breed our stock of almost every kind
more for quality than for size, 1t Is
matter Of fact that wher we ship
live stock to market they sell together
by weight, and as a matter of course
the animal or carcass that weighs the
greatest number Of pounds will COM
mand the most money. aud | think
the habit of breeding more for quail
ity than for size lies in the fault Of
the judges In making their decisions
in the show rings, as | think they
award more prizes to the little, fine.
spun animals. especially swine, than
they do the larger type, declares Mr..
Hart, in Kimball's Dairyman. If they
would reverse their decisions 1t would
let us all know where we are, and We
wouold breed more for size than for
quality.
When we make discrimination In
favor of quality against size in select
ing our breeding stock, We also dis
criminate against prolificacy, as my
experience has been the finer the quail
ity the less prolific, and the weaker
the constitution of the animal. Also
great deal of this defect Is brought
about by too close in-breeding; so
therefore, | contend that II We would
select our breeding stock of both
sexes of larger type with good, strong,
heavy bone, with sufficient frame to
build on and capable of carrying flesh,
our hogs would be of stronger consti-
tuition and more prolific. am not
opposed to breeding and raising pure
bred stock of any kind. l want them
with pedigrees, but want them large
enough and with a strong constitution
to back the pedigree up.
1t matters not how large or how
fancy a hog is bred-ultimately the
pork barrel is the end Of 1t, as 1t is a
matter of natural consequence, all
things being equal. as they sell by
weight in all the markets, that the
hog that weighs the greatest number
of pounds will bring the most money.
Therefore, brother breeders, let US
breed more for size rather than let
our fancies for quality override our
better judgment, and not raise the lit.
tie fancy ones that are only fit to
look at.

TRIALS OF
OLGA

For quiet little girl Olga Gilgours-
ki caused the officers OF her school a
good deal of thought She was good
and obedient and seemed interested in
her studies, but the teacher said she
was very slow to learn. As she
seemed to try and was not stupid,
this was surprising. Still. Olga was out

lost the thread Of the lessons.

The teacher reported the matter to

The truant officer entered Mrs. Gil.

was meant to be jocose. However.
Mrs. Gilgourski did not care for that
kind of humor and threatened him
with a carving knife.
"You 60 quick" she commanded.
"My Olga stay home when say so.
The truant officer retired and told
the principal that he would bring the
family into court at once. But the
principal asked for delay. Being much
puzzled. he suggested that the teach

Goat Stock for Angora Crosses.

A few years ago Mexican does were
used extensively as foundation stock
for flock of Angoras, using bucks of
the latter breed. However wise the
practice may have been at that time
that method Of building up flock of
fieece-bearing goats is now in vogue
but slightly, II at all. The practice
fiourished best when the goat raisers
knew very little of the larger prices
they might have obtained for a better
grade of mohair. They were content
with prices ranging from IA to %
cents pound. Manufacturers have
required better hair than can be pro.
duced by grades and this has tended
to reduce very greatly the number Of
crosses.

A Roman nose in a horse. like the
corresponding aquiline shape In a man,
generally indicates strong individual
ity, often accompanied with great IN
telligence.
A straight facial line is quite as often
found with q high degree Of intel
ligence, but dishfaced horse is
rarely anything but nonetity In char
acter or fool. have seen few
exceptions to this rule, but they only
prove Il.
A fine muzzle usually denotes high
nervous organization. while a coarse
and large muzzle, with small and nom
expansive nostrils and pendulous low
er lip, means stupidity.
A sensitive and trumpet.shaped nos
tril means courage and intelligence,
even when. as II does sometimes, 1t
also means heaves.
A broad and full forehead and
length from eye to ear are good gen.
eral indications Of intelligence. but
the eye and ear are the speaking fea-
lures Of horses face.
The ear is more ineligible even
than the eye, and person accustomed
to the horse can tell all that he thinks
or means. When horse lays his ears
fiat back on his neck. he most assur.
eddy is meditating mischief, and the
bystander should beware of his heels
or teeth. In play the ears will be laid
back, but not so decidedly nor Sc
long. A quick change in their po
sition. and more particularly the ex
preston Of the eye at the time, will
distinguish between playfulness and
vice. All experts agree that the ear
Of the horse is one of the most beau
tiful parts about him. and by this Is
the temper more surely indicated thar

HOW WILL THIS WORK?
A Bill to Regulate the Shipment Of Booze
It's a Hard One,

Representative Langley, of Ken
uckey, will introduce Monday the
interstate liquor shipment bill
prepared by the Anti.Saloon
League of America to oLviate the
objection Of uncorstitutionality
urged against the Littlefeld bill.
The objection to the Littlefeld
bill was that it made interstate
shipments Of liquor subject to
State laws Immediately upon
crossing the boundary. This was
claimed by it's opponents to be an
attempted delegation of congress,
sional power and therefore neon
stitutional. The new measure
prohibits the shipment of liquor
to any State, territory or district
of the United States, where such
shipment could not be legally be
made within the same. It is de-
signed to protect both prohibition
States and dry territory within
local option States -Wash

ANOTHER Big SUIT.
Engineer Rousche Asks $780, 900 Damages
for Injuries Received.

Col. W. B Rodman and Moore
&Rollins of counsel for the South
ern Railway Company yester 4ay
filed IN the office of Clerk Hyams
of the United States District court
a transcript of a damage suit for
$4,000 brought by Peter Roueche
against the Southern which Judge
Ward of Superior court recently
refused to remove to the Federal
court. The suit was institated by
Mr.. Roueche some time ago. He
retained as counsel Craig, Martin
& Winston of this city and A. H..
Price and Bismark Capps of Sails
bury. The question Of removal
from the state to the federal
courts was raised and Judge Ward
refused to move. Counsel for the
Southern Railway therefore filed
a Transcripts of the cas- in the
United States Circuit Court here
and at the proper time the ques-
ton of whether or not the case is
properly iii the federal courts will
be argued. In the meantime
counsel for the Southern appealed
from Judge Wards decision not to
remove and the Supreme court
will pass Oh this point.
The suit for $4,000 grew out Of
a head-on collision between extra
No. - eastbound and No. II at
or neal Swannoa station one Sun
day afternoon in 1906 Peter
Roueche was engineer of train No
IL and sustained injuries from
which he has never recovered. A
number of passengers were severe
ly jolted or bruised us a result OF
the collision, while Coz. ductor
Hough and a brakeman were kill
ed.
In suing the Southern the plain
tiff names L. D. Flack, O. I. Hall
man and L. Sumner as CO defend
ants and counsel for the Southern
alleges that the plaintiff sued
these persons not because he hop
ed to recover from them but fo1
the purpose of preventing the re-
moval of the case to the federal
courts. In It's answer to the ale
cations of the plaintiff the South
ern denies liability to the plain

Good citizens everywhere should

strong prohibition communities.
The moral agument for prohibit
ton has been too often stressed to
require further mention here but
we do not think 1T unwise to add
that considerations of patriotism
have been no LAST potent in bring
ing the people of North Carolina

of statewide prohibition.

Ordinary CaTthartics and Pills and Harsh
Physic Cure Distressing Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medicine for child
rem. Only the very gentlest bow
ell medicine should ever be given.
Ordinary pills, cathartlcs and pur-
gatives are too apt to do more
harm thar good. They cause

%life-lasting annoyance.

edy for constipation and associate
bowel disorders. W. have such
absolute faith in the supreme vir-
tues of this remedy that we sell 1t

every instance where it fails to
give tntire satisfaction, and we
urge all in need of such medicine

Decision on Joke Order.

With all due respect to the national
commission the decision handed down
last week giving Pitcher Henderson to
Cleveland is more or less q joke
It appears that the title to this pitch
CT from the Portland club was secured
by Boston, and the player in question
refused 90 so to the city of culture and
beans, and jumped TO Stockton in the
California outlaw league. Later Port
land opened negotiations with Cleve-
land. and transferred its claims on
Henderson to the ohio city. The mat
ter was taken up by the national COM
mission for adjustment and, after
careful consideration, that august body
announced that Henderson goes TO
Cleveland.
In the meantime the player in Ques-
ton Is slowed away at Stockton and
