JUDGING SWINE
BY E. l. JORDAN,
SWINE JUDGE, SOUTH LOUISIANA
FAIR, 1914

In judging swine as in case of
all other classes of stock or other
exhibits, the Judge must have
clearly in mind the outstanding
points of the breed type and must
be guided solely by his type in
making his DECISIONS.
He cannot take into considera
/ tion the fact that one unimal may
be more fashionablY bred than
another, nor can he favor the
exhibit of one man over another.
He is 10 pass on the relative
merits of the animals as they
are brought into the ring. Where
rivalry IS keen there is frequently
some feeling on the part of some
whose favorites may be defeated,
but a man who has exhibited
several times learns to expect that
he cannot always win, and does
not feel "sore" at the Judge.
The judging ring should be
placed convenient to the pens
and should have a smooth, solid
/ floor where the hogs cans be
made to walk or stand on q level
surface. This enables the judge
to detect any faulty conforma-
ton of the legs and feet or any
weakness of the back which
might be overlooked it the Judg-
ing were attempted in a sraw
covered pen.
| The Judge first eliminates those
which have week. or crooked legs
and weak backs as such animals
are undesirable for breeding pur-
Il
lposes. From the remaining, he
choses the one having the largest
size provided this size is coupled
with ample development Of the
valuable parts such as hams.
Ioins and back. OF course, the
| distinctive breed CHARACTERISTIC
must be taken into consideration.
Every exhibitor has q right tc
ask the Judge his reasons fol-
making his decisions, aud every
Judge is glad to state his reasons
| where the questions are asked II
the right spirit. AS a matter Of
fact, the Judge should explain tt
the audience the reasons for eve
Try decision. In no other way car
the community be brought to SCI
and appreciate the difference 5e

WANT NAMES NOW
FOR THE EXCURSION

President r. B. Moore of the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce is anx-
ious to get at once the names of the
entire delegation to accompany the
excursion which will leave here on the
10th to tour Southern California cit
les from Santa Barbara to San Diego.
1t is expected to have 125 persons
in the party, and it will be by far
the greatest boost the valley has ever
had, as it is proposed to wake the
echoes in all the Southland.
Tickets are being sold today by :,
committee of the Ell Centre Cham
her of Commerce for the benefit to-
morrow evening at Theatre Tulane.
Every effort is being made by the
boosters to secure large attendance,
as their organization is to receive one
half the proceeds, which can be used
to very good advantage in furthering
publicity work for the city.
Goodness Gracious" or "Movies as
They Shouldn't Be" will be the COM
edy shown on the screen. Those at
tending the shohws at 1880 and 9
o'clock will not only spend a very
enjoyable evening, but will assist the
Chamber of Commerce greatly. Prices
are for adults 25 cents and for chill
dren 10 cents.
Executives of the Chamber of Com
merce are working on arrangements
for the proposed excursion this month
to Southern California points. Much
interest is being taken by citizens in
the plans and the officers are con-
fident that the necessary number of
persons-125-will arrange to take
the trip. Those who have not already
signifed their intention of going
should at once do so. Plans are to
leave on the 10Th. The itinerary will
include Redlands, Riverside, San Ber-
nardino, Los Angeles and San Diego.
The train will be made up of an ex-
hibit car, in which will be contained
a representative display of products;
a diner, and sufficient sleepers to
accommodate the excursionists.
For the three-day trip the cost per

ancy will no doubt cause decided
slump in the demand for "wings,'
bladders and cork belts by timorous
swimmers.
Brilliant colors that are fast and
certainly look it are another feature
and rubber flowers made into corsage
bouquets are the last gasp in aquatic
fashions. Imagine what a snappy eff
feet spray of pink rubber roses
will add to your bathing suit and the
spring touch impaired by bunch
of purple rubber violets is sure to
win at the stretch. Certainly nobody
could classify these elastic violets as
belonging to the shrinkage variety.
One of the most popular models of a
1914 bathing suit is of blue or black
taffeta with deep girdle of bright
hued plaid or Roman striped silk and
a tunic piped in the striped or plaid
trimming.
The waist is open down the front
to the waist line and filled in with
vest of sheer white muslin with an
outstanding Gladstone collar of the
same. Flaring cuffs of muslin finish
the long sleeves and the ruffles edg.
ing the full pantalets are piped in the
girdle silk.
A bright green satin costume has
tunic scalloped on the edge, a low
neck blouse waist with a scolloped
puffed elbow sleeves finished with a
scalloped ruffle as are the puffy
bloomers. A deep girdle of the satin
spans the waistline and no other col
or or trimming relieves this study
in green save white rubber gar
denia with green rubber foliage at the
belt ard wreath of the waterproof
gardenias on smart green crush
satin hat that completes the verdant
getup.
A striking black taffeta suit has
hectic panniers and hustle of futurist
silk and V-shaped inset of the same
placed point downward in the skirt.
Another purple satin suit panniered
in poisonous purple and green striped
silk has bunch of violets at the belt.
A bright red satin shows a skirt
entirely composed of four scolloped
ruffles. The penchant of fair bathers
for this scallop trimming is probably
accentuated by the desire to prove
that quite as many good scollops go
into the sea as come out and are as
delectable with satin dressing as the
deep sea scallops with dressing of
tartar sauce.
The newest sandals are in bright
satin to match the bathing suit and
are built like the late tango slippers
with divers straps. Nothing could be
more apropos than deep sea green
slipper with divers straps to cover
an under too, now could there. The
sandals that perform the Aquatic feat
of covering bathing feet and the chic
flower trimmed hats that top the
hirsutc waves that top the ocean
waves are not the salient features
of the newest bathing suits however.
The really striking innovations after
all are the superabundance of buff
fant bustles. panniers and puffs. The
minute you get one on you you are
bound to belong to the fleating popu-
lation.

When Mabel and Tessie,
Who both are quite dressy,
Go out for a stroll in the park
Their garments so slimpy,
Transparent and skimpy
Seem mostly take off-but mark;
When they take notion
To dip in the ocean
They pile on such flubdub galore,
Such bustles and ruffing,
Such flouncing and putting,
That even the ocean waves roar.
New York, June 6.-To be truly
fashionable when you take dip in
the briny this summer you must put
on more clothes than you take off.
Time was when the bathing beach was
the vantage ground where all feminine
fine Joints were frankly revealed. Now
all the revealing is done in the marts,
the public restaurants and theaters,
while the charms of the belle of the
bathers are as completely hidden un-

as the light under the proverbial
bushel.

 At the offices of the Hamburg Amer ican line the following statement of the message received from Captain Dugge was given out: ....-... ....
 Captain Dugge of the Pretoria sends wireless stating that at 2:20 n. m ships time, Saturday, in fog, Pretoria had collision with the American liner New York.

 It was said at the Hamburg-Ameri. can offices that message will be sent to Captain Dugge asking him to give the ships position at the time of the collision. This, 1t was said, is because of the statement reputed to Captain Roberts of thes New York that the Pretoria was of her regular track at the time of the accident
