o'coNNELL SUGGESTS LINE OF
WORK FOR MCCORMICK
County Treasurer William L.
O'Connen yesterday suggested a line
of endeavor to President a. A. Nc
Cormick that if acted upon would
make the latter very popular gem
tleman in Cook county.
O'Connell's suggestion is merely to
the effect that Mccormick might do
well to take up the important tax
lodging question that is so vital to
every citizen. The president of the
county board hasn't yet announced
what course he will take.
O'Connen recently rendered to the
finance committee $330,0O0 for two
years interest on the county money.
Mccormick has said that wasn't all
the interest the county money has
earned.
"McCormick's trouble seems to be
that he is so anxious to pose as a
guardian of civic virtue, he disregards
facts and even common sense in his
mad desire to get publicity" said
O'ConneIl.
+ 81 would suggest that if Mr.. Nc
Cormick desires a broad field for his
energies he take up the question of
taxdodging in Cook county and
shall be very glad to furnish him with
some facts that should be highly in
tereStinP To the DIlb1ic
"His statement that l owe Cook
county 100000 is pure, unadulterat-
ed bunk and not worth the dignity of
reply"

He is a fast. clever little forward and for his weight has few equals. For Jones' toro, Guards Dorr and Barnett and Center Daniel were the shining lights. The two forwards for the visitors were of a high order but they had the misfortune to have been guarded by those two little 'de- mons," Quinn and Nichol.
 Many penalties were inflicted on both sides for roughness. The Jonesboro lads had tendency oc- casionally to tackle out of bounds. They also ran perfect interference at times. x :,

Longfellow's Poem
 Has Been DramatiZed
High School Pupils Will Present "The Courtship of Miles Stand-
 ish" Friday Evening.

A very unique entertainment Will be given next Friday evening at the High School by the Pi Psi Literary Society. Longfellew's poem "The Courtship of Miles Standish" has been dramatized by Mrs. Brooks and the parts taken by the girls of the Pi Psi Society. The object of the play is two fold. To increase the books in the library and to present to the patrons of the school one Of the. most pleasing entertainments of tho year. The play is clever. The price of admission to the play IS one book. When presented at the library it entities the giver to ticket to the play. The book reception will be from [ till 8 o'clock. Refresh ments will be served in the library during the reception.
 The play is in five acts. The scen- cry and costumes will be approprI- ate of the style of the early Colonial days. Much time and trouble has aeen spent in getting the costumes and scenery suggestive of the poeEl. The scenery will represent the log cabins of that time with the deer hide rugs, the split log chairs ant tables, and even the spinning wheel will repose in it's time honored po- sition in the corner. Of course, the huge fireplace with it's backlog will be a conspicious feature. The first scene in particular is rich in appro- priate scenery. The weapons, the clothes, the furniture and even down to the minutest detail will coincide with the prevailing style and custom of the Colonial period.
 The third act is probably the most dramatic one of the five. ln th's scene is tho quarrel between the twd friends, Miles Standish aad Joan Ar den. The thought of a quarrel be- tween friends is tragic and the ac- tion in this scene is intensely grip ping in it's dramatic power.
 TIC par: of Miles Standlsh is pra scented by Miss Nellie Leach That of John Arden by Miss El!ice Breath wit. The acting of these two tal- {, ented young ladies in this act reaches heights rarely ever attaiael by anna teurs, and the passion and feeling they put into their interpretations holds the audience enthral!e1 by tho intensity of their dramatic power.
 The scene depicting Priscilla in her home is the most beautiful of the play. The part of Priscilla is very artistically rendered by Mss Edith Foster. The cast in the play IS composed of the best talent of the the Pi Psi Society, who by thelr fine rendition of tho poetic lines seem 10 catch the spirit and inspiration of the author.

Jonesboro Basketball Team Outplayed in Rough Two
 Games at the Y. M. c. A.
VISITORS SPEEDY.
But Team Work and Basket Shooting of Local Lads Too Much
 for Them.
(BY JOHN SORPELLS


 In two games, characterized by considerable roughness, the Pine Bluff High School basketeers put it over" the bunch from Jonesooro yesterday afternoon and last night at the Y. M. c. A. Both games were thrilling throughout Time af- ter time the spectators were brought to thelr feet by some brilliant spurt or play and again silently watched the course of tie ball as it left the hands Of the unerring Tor; sbero foc- wards. Both games were fast, close and exciting. The play at all ti,ras was fast and furious and kep. the spectators on continuous nervous tension. The afternoon game result ed in a 25-23 victory fer the lo:lis The end of the light game f und the 'H1' boys on the long enG of a 54-41 score. The Jonesho-o team is the fastest and most aggressive one the Hi tea-n has met yet. There are an ideal combination of speed. weight end brains aud ill dcf"at.ng this buncl ,ha locals feel that they Have disposed of one of the strong est contenders for the state cham pionship. Ill these two games the "Hi" boys covered themselves with great gobs of glory and by tucking this game under their belt have stepped in the limelight as the strongest contenders for the cham pionship.
 Afternoon Game.
 The afternoon game started with the locals rushing the Jonesboro basketeers. The game was then nip Rnd tuck. Both teams played bril- liant ball at all times. The team work of sthe locals was superb. The >Jonesboro lads came back strong Tn the second half and tied the score. With one half minute left to play, Christopher loomed up as the man of the hour and with a brilliant slot made the winning basket, while the spectators went wild.
 The Jonesboro baskateers started the night game with pep and dasf that threatened to swamp the locals, but little Jimmie Alexander pulled the game out of the fire by his cool ness and accuracy in shooting fouls. After the locals descended from the misty heights they began to play basketball in the good old fashioned way and piled up score after score. At the end of the first half the score stood 32-22, the advantage with the Hi boys. The second half was rather slow and draggy. Both teams seem ed to lack the pep which character ized the first half. The final score was 54-41.
 Whole Team Starred.
 The whole team starred for the locals. Every man played his DO sition almost perfect and the team work was delight to the fans. The work of "Red" Quinn in both games was especially brilliant. He is g guard of unusual ability and is with out doubt the best man of his DO sition in the state. His running mate, Nichol, is also "some guard and is scarcely less brilliant thar Quinn. Freelin Christopher ant Captain Lyle by every one are con sidered extraordinarily good forward: and played their usual scrappy game Christopher lead both teams in goals making 13.

faster. Lime should also be fed to
hogs, about a handful twice a week.
1t adds greatly to the growth and
strengthens their bones. 1t is in the
winter months that the hogs most
need mineral matter, as during the
summer when they are on pasture or
fCraging about for themselves they
pick up enough mineral foods from
vegetation or around the yard to keep
them in good condition.
Number of Feeds Per Day.
Pige are generally fed but twice a
day. morning and evening. although
some feeders give them a noon feed.
This seems to be an extensive practice
where pigs do not have pasture. Ex-
perimentation shows that pasture,
with two feeds per day to make up
the supplemental part of the ration,
produces the best results, with the fac
tor of waste at minimum. OF course
the kind of ration will determine the
number of feeds.
Oats and Vetch.

broadcast 10 days before planting.
The wheat should be rust-proof and
beardiess.
The fields for sorghum, soy beans
and field peas should be sown to oats
(where oats are hardy in winter, and
where not, to wheat for winter graz
ing) and plowed under in the spring
before planting the main crops. The
foregoing directions are for the first
planting of the fields. After this the
farmer can rotate according to ma
turity of crops. Plant field peas
broadcast thickly and cultivate in.
Use one and one-half bushels of seed
per acre.
Use from two to four pounds of
rape per acre, depending on fertility
of soil, and 10 pounds of clover seed.
Use the orange variety of sorghum.
Plant in drills three feet apart, using
one-half bushel of seed per acre.
Pigs-Farrowing Time
Attention given the SOW at farrow

young to drink, give them four or five
drops of paragoric. Give them a run

Lack of Exercise May
Make Shoats Thump

NV HEN we have wintered fall pigs
Wy in the open field with a run of
10 rods to feeding place We have
never had a pig affected with thumps,
but when running in the feed lot and
sleeping in a nearby hog house that
was closer and warmer We had
trouble with thumps. writes G. P.
williams in the National Stockman.
The longer these shoats are left in
the drove the worse they thump and
sooner or later die. We have found
two treatments that proved success
full.
The first treatment is to take the
affected pig from the drove as soon
as he is observed humping and sell
to a shipper. even though a special
trip be necessary to take him to the
Yards The other method is designed
to be effective and consists in turn
ing the affected shoat into a field
with a small pen only scantily sup
Piled with bedding. The pig generally
does a good deal of fretting along the
fence in trying to get out, and in
few days this exercise and fresh air
will often be found to have stopped
his humping. Dust, lack of exercise,
sudden change from warm pens to
outside drafts, damp beds, etc, are
common causes of thumps, and rem
cdial agencies must be along the line
Of correcting these details.

makes an excellent grazing crop for
use after the artichokes are gone.
When sown on fairly good wheat
ground this crop will have made such
a rank growth by February that it will
furnish good grazing during the next
two or three months. The winter oats
bear grazing better than rye or bar
ley. are less easily injured by freezing
and will continue their fresh growth
much later in the spring. 1t is un-
doubtedly the best grain crop we have
for grazing. The vech also makes a
vigorous growth. and pound for pound
gives a feed richer in protein or mus
Gle forming food than any other COM
mon pasture plants. Its unusually
large proportion of protein makes it
especially valuable for young and
growing animals and it gives the very
best of early grazing for fall pigs
which are to be kept through the sum-
mer. When the oats begin to head
and the vetch to flower in April stock
should be taken off so as to allow the
plants to mature seed, which they will
do late in May or early in June. The
ground should then be plowed and
summer crop, which can be cut for
hay or grazed off in September and
October, after which the vetch seed
left in the ground, and usually the
oats also, will make a volunteer
growth fully as good as that of the
previous season. Rotation has been
used for six years without replanting
the vetch and there has been an al
most constant increase in the yield.
IL some seasons the volunteer oats
have failed to make a full stand, but
the vetch has never failed to make a
satisfactory growth. One bushel of
the oats and one peck of vetch seed
are sufficient to seed an acre. The
soil should be a rich loan which IS
not too light. The vetch has
not often been satisfactory on sandy
soil unless properly inoculated. By
the time the hogs are removed from
the oats and vetch the permanent pas
lures will be in fine condition and will
give good grazing for many weeks.
This will be especially true where al
faifa, melilotus and clovers are grown
and at this time but little grain need
be fed. During the early summer
months growth of bone and muscle
are more important than the accumu-
lation of fat. and, although it pays to
feed a little grain at all times. the
amount used during the early summer
may safely be less than at any other
season.
Pasture.
The value of pasture for fattening
pigs Is given in the following table,

The hog raiser should never be with
out some kind of pasture. Not only
health but economical production and
the reproduction of good thrifty pigs
depend upon it.

Maturity

In general, hogs do not come to
their maturity until they are about
two years old. 1t follows, then, that a
hog that cannot be put in good mar
ketabIe condition at any period dur
ing its early life is not a profitable
hog for one to raise. Almost any
good breed can be brought to this
condition by intelligent feeding.
