When the Shriners Meet

The unusual sight Of seventy-6ve
thoroughly trained bands playing at the
same time in the same park will be
witnessed in Seattle during the second
week of July, when the imperial coun-
ell session of the Ancient Arabic Order
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, holds its,
forty-irst conclave in that city.
Each of the bands will have differ
ent uniform, bizarre and brightly col
ored, after the fashion of the Orient,
where the order is said to have orig
mated. As one OF the centers OF at
traction for the gathering they will not
only play at massed band concerts but
will furnish music for what will prob
ably be the biggest dances ever seen
in the west.
To accommodate the vast hordes who
will demand admission to these dances,
when seven bands will play in one big
hall, the executive committee is now
considering the erection of new floor,
to be the largest Of its kind west of the
Mississippi. If this is not done the
roofs of three adjoining buildings will
be converted into a roof garden and
dancing floor, or some Of the immense
niers on the waterfront will be utilized.

HOGS AS MORTGAGE LIFTERs
More Money Made In Raising Swine
on Farm Than In Any Other
Animal-Enemy 10 Cholera.

tBy GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College,
There should be, and usually Is.
more money made In raising hogs on
the farm than other animals. Aside
from cholera, hogs are less subject to
disease, reproduce faster, and make
better gains per pound of feed con.
sumed. The annual increase of
horses, cattle ar sheep ranges from
80 to 100 per cent. The increase of
hogs should be from 500 to 1000 per
cent. The SOW has the advantage in
bringing forth two filters year and
farrows several at each litter.
Doctor Warrington in Chemistry
on the Farm" states that for each 100
pounds OF feed consumed the different
farm animals make gains as follows.
Cattle, nine pounds; sheep, II pounds.
and pigs, % pounds. Pigs then make
nearly two and half times the gain
over cattle for the amount of feed
consumed.
The man who hauls hogs to market
instead of corn is the one who should
make money. Because OF the fact that
hog raising, when properly managed.
has been so profitable the hog has
been styled the mortgage litter" The
one enemy to the business Ia hog

In controlling cholera by the farmers

ADVERTISING CENSORSHIP

We had supposed that Thomas

ing about when he included in his
celebrated and eloquent Declaration
of Independence these words: eve
hold these truths to be self evident:
That all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their creator
with certain unalenable rights" etc.
etc., but We nearly had the wind ia
ken out Of Our sails as we'll as our
belief In that wonderful masterpiece
OF Jefferson 8, when we approached
business man of this city this week
with a small business proposition OF
putting his ad ON a theatre program
and was informed by the gentleman
that before he would consider the
matter, 1t would be necessary for us,
to go before the advertising COM
mittee' of the Gilmore Development
League which would pass ON the
merits of our matter of business, the
proceeds of which would amount to
the magnificent sum of $500.
