RaZorbacks and Boys.

The razorback hog of Arkansas, if
you could call him a hog, is pro-
duct Of the old days. He comes up
in the woods, lives on acorns, has
fine on his backbone something like
brook perch, and is about as thick
through. He is a hog in all good
faith so far as family record goes,
but he is mighty poor excuse for a
real hog as We know him. They
have never learned down there that
it is just as easy to grow hog as a
razorback. Here in the north there
is very much the same disposition
shown in growing boys-with some
of the parents at least. Mostly in
the towns, and we don't have to go
away from home to see the evidence.
Now if there is no excuse for razor
back in Arkansaw there is a hum
dred fold none for the razorback boy
in the north. In Arkansaw he roams
the woods. In Woodbine he roams
| the streets and back alleys, unmolest-
ed, save when intercepted by the
town marshal. That happens occa-
sionally, it happened just the other
evening for conduct unbecoming
| There are boys in this town 16, II
and Is years old that have never
been caught doing a thing to earn ar
honest dollar Cad this street anC

old boy is old enough to work. i
is a crime to society not to teacf
him the dignity Of honest toll.
the boy thinks that working on thu
section is beneath his dignity it Ii
only because he has been allowed t.
fix for himself false standard. Thi
is the whole explanation of so mucl
street cussedness among boys in thu
towns-give them something to de
and see that they do it. A razorbacl
hog is a razorback because of ne
fault of his own. Same with razor

COW ADOPTS BABY COLT.
Mother Love of Bovine Lavished
Upon Young of Different
Species.

Mother love, even that of a bovine
mother, finds an outlet for its mani
festation in some way. This is exem-
plified on the William H. Bertch
farm near La Porte, where a COW
adopted a colt when week old and
lavished upon it all the affection
which naturally would have been be-
slowed upon her young calf which
was taken from her few days after
its birth. The mother of the colt
died when the colt was but a wCck
old, and the bereaved bossy at once
adopted it as a part of her family
A number of persons visited the farm
this week and took some pictures OF
the strange pair while the colt was
nursing. The colt thrives on the
cows milk and is now, at the age of
three months, as tall as the mother
by adoption. Bossy guards her with
jealous care, and shakes her horn
less head at strange dogs. She ticks
the colt with her tongue just as she
would lick her calf, and chews her
cud contentedly as it runs, jumps and
kicks out it's nimble heels.

the grounds, attracted large crowds
There was plenty of this sort OF
amusement, while the program car
ried out by Christen Bros, Sheriff
Qualley, w. B. Reed and others, tug
OF war, foot races, sack race, novelty
races, etc. kept the crowds in good
humor each day.
The open air free attractions, the
aerialists, the automobile trick act
and Nine. Devon with her dogs and
cats were all very good, and furnish
ed pleasing part of the program
The only speech at the fair was
made by ID. Ward King, the inventor
of the famous King drag. His adj
dress was filled with good practical
common sense methods of keeping
country roads in condition, and it is
to be regretted that the carrying out
of the program prevented his having
an opportunity to finish his address.
The DEBORAH Merchants Band fur
nished splendid music every day,
which added much to the fair. The
band is the best band we have had
in years, and their playing is always
listened to with much pleasure.
The balloon ascensions with dou-
BILE parachute jumps were by long
odds the best ever seen in DEBORAH.
The balloon rose to almost unprece-
denied heights, and the drop with a
parachute, and then a second drop
with another parachute was a thrill
ing and yet beautiful spectacle, which
was watched by appreciative crowds.
Races.
Less attention was given to races
than is ordinary, but there was
enough to entertain those who love
horse racing. On Wednesday race
between Minnie B, Miss Melnotte

named, time 2:49 and 2:45; on
Thursday NJ. T. Grattan brought
LOdaller down, determined to do
things to G. F. Baker with Louie r,
and it was a mighty pretty race.
LOdaller won in three close finishes,
with Louie r second, Col. J. B. Leak
third and Snoopie fourth, time 2:2O
IA, 1922 1-2, 1921 IA. Wednesday
there was an exciting race between

ishing in the order named; on Thurs
day between a strange horse and the
Headington horse, the stranger Win
ming; and on Friday between the
Logsdon and Mali horses, Logsdon
winning.
Wednesday afternoon there was an
auto race between j. C. Johnson and
Sever Olson, two miles, in which
Johnson won in 1904 IA, Olson
coming in nine seconds later. 1t was
a fast race for a half mile track.

before the factory closes for the sea-

clean. The average yield is about 4
tons per acre $500 tons have been
delivered, the loads averaging a little
over / 1-2 tons. A number of 3 ton
loads have been delivered. A few
small patches yielded 6 tons per acre.
