NICkERSON TESTIMONIAL.

One OF the compensations that will
come to Henry Nickerson. the boat
SWANS mate on the Utah. who is now
under treatment in the Brooklyn naval
hospital for the loss OF a leg in the
service OF his country at Vera Cruz,
will be the anticipation OF his home
coming. which is TO be attended with
a popular and patriotic greeting by
his friends and the citizens of Wheel
ing. Another pleasant reflection that
will come TO him on his bed Of conval-
escence il that he will have lived to
see and hear Of the honors bestowed
on the country's heroes. while many
of his comrades who fell in battle
were denied this privilege. whose
paths of glory" led to the grave.
The man who will begrudge the tes-
timonial that is being arranged for Mr.
Nickerson probably does not live in
Wheeling. But II there is such a
character. he would better keep his
opinions TO himself. II Is a healthy
sign OF the times when all classes in
a community with Dntaneity OF &C
ton band together to recognize the
service Of their fellow-townsman to
the country. and the sacrifice he made
in the performance OF his duty The
citizens who have charge OF the ar
engagements for this testimonial are
honoring themselves as well as paying
tribute to this soreiy wounded patriot.
All who will participate in the ceremo-
MES will do themselves proud In &C
claiming the example OF one who. rec
ognizing the perils OF his solemn obli-
cations. did not shirk his duty when
the supreme hour Of the test came.

The December American Magazine

In the December American Maga-
 zine David Grayson, famous as the
 author of Adventures in Content ment" and "The Friendly Road," be- gins a new serial novel entitled "Hempfield'' which promises to be even more interesting than his early suc- cesseS.
 In the same issue Will Irwin, war correspondent for this publication, presents dramatic account of the ef- fleets of the war as he has personally observed them in France, Belgium, England and parts of Germany; Ida M. Tarbell contributes the second ar ticle in her new series, "The Golden Rule in Business; Stewart Edward White reports his personal adventures hunting elephants in Africa; Ray Stannard Baker, writing under the title, "Wilson-After Twenty Months gives an intimate picture of the Pres ident in the White House in war time. Another highly interesting contribu- tion is entitled "The Experiences of a Jews Wife" in which a gentile-a Roman Catholic woman-reports her experiences since she married a Jew It is a great document on certain forms of persecution that exist in America today. for although this wo- man is extremely happy in her family life, she admits that if she had it to do over again, she would not marry Jew because of the social difficulties and unpleasantnesses that are created by such union.
 Fiction is contributed by John A. Moroso, Maravene Thompson, Dana Gatlin, and Nina Wilcox Putnam. Humorous contributions are made by James Montgomery Flagg and George Fitch. The three regular depart ments-''Interesting People" "The h. terpreter's House" and "The Theater" are filled with good reading. The prize winning letters in a contest en- titled "Going Home for Christmas" conclude number of rare vitality and genuine holiday stories.

For the purpose of showing to the members of the General Assembly the strength of the people, and their wishes regarding the sale of liquor in Arkansas, hoping in this manner to prevent repeal of the Going Act, plans have been made by leading pro- hibitionists for campaign of the state beginning January IT, with many speakers of a national reputation. This campaign will last for week. It was thought that Rev. William Sunday would be secured to head the list but he is booked ahead for three years, and as the committee is press ed for time, former Gov. Patterson of Tnnessee will be an able substitute. Rev. Sam Small is another of the speakers. It is intended to make a whirlwind campaign of the state, end ing with big rally in Little Rock.

How It Feels to Undergo Twilight
 Sleep.

How It Feels to Undergo Twilight
 Sleep.
 In the January WOman's Home Companion appears an authoritative article about the new Twilight Sleep about which so much has been written by physicians and others. Following is a paragraph taken from the article in which a physician describes exactly how the treatment affects the patient:
 "'The patient is drowsy and sleeps lightly between her pains. When a pain occurs, she manifests her suffer ing to a greater or less degree, and again dozes. But consciousness is not entirely lost. She responds somewhat tardily to questions, and usually obeys commands. Kronig lays great stress upon maintaining condition of semi unconsciousness, wherein the pains, though apparently perceived, are nev- ertheless immediately forgotten. The patient perceives pain but does not appercive it; in other words, she does
The Prescott daily news., 1914-12-15

not appreciate it. At any rate, on awakening she has no recollection of anything that has occurred. The pa- tient may complain that the treat ment is not working and roundly abuse those in charge, yet half an hour after the birth have absolutely no recol- lection of her pains or of the coming of her baby"

CROSS BREEDING HOGS
From Independent Farmer

l
 A Platte county subscriber writes: Do you think there is any advantage in crossing Chester Whites and Poland Chinas, or Duroc Jerseys and Poland Chinas for market purposes ?"
 There is widespread belief among stockmen that cross bred animal makes a better feeder than pure bred one. In many cases, this belief has seemingly been justified by per sonal experience. Swine growers, in particular, are for the most part con vinced that a hybrid or "cross" is usually more vigorous than either one of it's pure bred parents. It is certain that a cross between any two of the swine breeds mentioned in the above inquiry will result in producing high class market rigs. However, there are many breeders who are ready to bear witness that it is not necessary to cross such breeds as the Poland China, Chester White and Duroc Jersey in order to get good market pigs. It is to be regretted that in the great mass of experimental animal breeding work which has been carried on during the last few years so little can be found touching upon the i'm portant subject of cross-breedng. What limited experimental evidense is available, however, all seems to point in the same direction. And if it is al lowed ot draw conclusions relative to animals from the work done by plant breeders, and there is abundant req son why this is permissible since in- heritance in animals and plants is carried in very much the same way ambundant evidence is to hand to SUD- port the idea that the cross bred ami nal has greater stimulus for de- velopment than either if it's pure bred parents.
 Practically all breeds of animals have been developed by a more or less generally practiced system of in- breeding. In many cases this in- breeding has resulted in loss of lvigor which is demonstrated by de- crease of size, lack of fertility, or in some other striking way It is well, however. to add here a word of caution about too generally condemn ing the practice of mating closely re- lated individuals. It must be remem- bered that in-breeding has been of ut most value in the development of modern live stock. In fact, it is i'm possible to purify strains in any other way.
 When it is not desired to work to breed development and where the only object is the production of an indi- vidual that will obtain maximum growth, cross breeding doubtless brings the desired results. And in connection with this, it may be stated as general rule that the wider the cross, the greater the vigor of the hybrid. Consequently one could ex- pect to get better market pigs by crossing the pure bred Poland China with a pure bred Duroc Jersey than he could by using either one of the pure breeds alone. It must be always borne in mind, however, that the above statement only holds true for the first class.-C. B. Lee.
