Four thousand hogs was the size of the run today, and they sold steady, though outside reports said five lower at some other markets. 4 notable circumstance in the hog mar ket is the shipment of about so car loads of hogs from the up rIver mar kets to Ft.

Growth of Irrigation Systems

- The growth of irrigation sys- tens throughout the world has been a remarkable feature of the agricultural progress of the nine- teenth century. The great Assou- an dam across the upper Nile has added myriads of acres to the fertilized area of Egypt; France has sown the Northern Saharah with oases, made beau tiful and fruitful by artesian wells; British India is dotted here and there by public works, which store up the floods of the periodical rains. agalnst the scorching drought of midsum- mer, and besides millions invest ed by corporations and private citizens, the United States government has constructed some splendid irrigation systems in what have been considered ir. reclaimable deserts.-National Magazine.

Stick to the Boys

While General Baden. Powell was in America he told Colonel Livingstone. the President of the Americtn Boy Scouts, of his con- ference with King George. Natur- ally it was desired by his sover- eign that he devote his life to the army, but when he had returned from the war, a hero of the battlefield on the African veldt, he felt that his real life must be devoted to the boy scout move ment. He so informed the king, but as a loyal subject he bowed as he said, "I leave it to you, your Majesty, what shall it be?"
 "The army" replied the king.
 "Then I am to abandon the English boys. Who is going to take up the task?"
 The King reflected a moment and then replied: "Stick to the boys, Baden. Powell"
 In that moment by the wish and command of his sovereign the life work of Baden-P Powell was determined, consecrated and on6rmed.-National Magazine
