Kentucky State Fair Provides for
Boys Pig Clubs in An Elaborate Manner
Many Counties be Represented be Given Free
Trips to the Great Fair

TN 1915 a boys pig club was
introduced into Kentucky. Thir-
teen counties we're organized
under the leadership Of their
county agents and $40 boys became
members. Local shows were held and
the winning boy from each county re-
ceived free trip to the Farmer Boys
Encampment at the State Fair. Six
teen boys we're given this trip and
eighteen pigs were exhibited This
was the first state pig club show in
Kentucky. Although the exhibit was
small, the interest was so great and
the showing so good that the pig club
has become one Of the most popular
and beneficial boys clubs in Farm
Demonstration Work.
From this small beginning the boys
pig club has spread to 40 counties with
a membership Of 1850 boys in a single
year Bankers. business men and
farmers have co-operated to the ex-
tent of placing over $5,000.00 worth OF
pure bred hogs in the hands of these
boys.
The state agent and county agents
co-operated in organizing. holding
meetings. securing registered pigs,
visiting members. and instructing
them along the proper lines Of animal
husbandry.
The 1916 pig club started May 18th.
Each boy had a gilt between two and
four months Of age, and most OF them
secured registered pigs. Record books
were furnished the boys and the
pigs we're weighed and ear tagged by
the county agent at the beginning Of
the contest.
Local Shows First.
1t is contemplated that local show
be held in each of the counties organ
lied, at which numerous prizes will be
given. The first prize in each county
will be free trip to the Farmer Boys

A Naval TrIumph-The decision Of
Secretary Daniels to provide the new
ly authorized battleships with batteries
of eight 16-inoh guns is distinct
triumph for the naval officers who
have long urged the adoption Of high
err callbre guns for the main batteries
and hitherto have been unsuccessful
only because, as some of them ex-
press It, Secretary Daniels seemed to
think that big guns are a greater
menace to peace than little ones. Pos
sibly because they make more noise. .
With President Wilson's recent con-
version to preparedness, however, and
with the Democratic majority in the
Senate favoring ships which will prove
the equal of those of any foreign navy,
the naval eperts have won out There
is now every prospect that in few
years this country will have four bat
'tleships as powerful as any afioat.

Hughes Unsatisfactory - Governor
Hughes is proving highly unsatisfac-
tory to the Democrats, on his western
tour. Charley Murphy, head of Tam
many Hall, has given an interview
denouncing Mr.. Hughes as lacking
constructive ability and Secretary Nc
AdoO accuses the Republican candi-
date OF the crime of pettifogging.
For some strange reason the Republ!-
can managers accept these criticisms
of their hero with extraordinary COM
placency. They maintain, in fact, that
the sudden decision of President Will
son, after having announced that he
would not take the stump, to make a
western tour and go over the same
ground as Mr.. Hughes is evidence that
the Republican candidate has put the
Democratic nominee very much on the
defensive. The Republicans insist that
Mr.. Wilson received thousands of
votes from people who believed him
to be peculiarly high-minded man
and who had accepted his repeated
commentator of civil service reform
as sincere and that these are bound to
be alienated by the evidence Mr..
Hughes is presenting OF fragrant viola
tons, by Mr.. Wilson's personal direc-
ton. of both the spirit and the letter

COBB TO
BE FEATURED IN
MOVING Picture

Tyrus Raymond Cobb will soon be
LilIed over the entire country as a
screen star. His first effort will be
in a several reel picture entitled
Somewhere i'm Georgia" The seen
ario was written by Grantland Rice.
Those who have seen the private
exhibitions of the film say that Tyrus
is much better than a $50 batsman In
the movies, and although he says that
this is his first and last picture he
could. providing he SO desired, get a
contract for q large number OF plays
and give Douglas Fairbanks, Francis
X. Bushman and those lads warm
race for top honors.
Cobb is superman mentally as
we'll as physically. Cobb could be a
tOp-noteher in any sport he set out to
master and he would hit just as well
In any business line. He knows a lot
about most everything he ever paid
any attention to. He has the brains
and the power to adapt himself to
strange fields and strange situations.
Real Thrills Provided
Moving picture concerns have been
after Ty for several years in an effort
to secure his name to contract. He
finally succumbed, but reserved the
right to choose his own play. The re-
suit was that more than 100 scenarios
were submitted to him. Some con-
tained too much love-making, others
fell flat because Tyrus did not have
an opportunity to show his ability as
bail player, one point that the mo-
ton picture concern insisted on, 9TH
ers demanded too much of physical
risk The authors had Tyrus dashing
from the top of high cliffs, shooting
from the mouth of cannon. leaping
off the Brooklyn bridge, diving for a
world record. travelling above the
clouds in an aeroplane, rescuing
girl from a burning tower, and various
other stunts which are generally writ
ten in only for dare devils whose job
it is to perform these little feats at
SIS day. Cobb. of course, could not
consider these moving picture scena-
rios and finally the concern appealed
to Grantland Rice and Grant decid-
ed to write 1t. The result is Some
