Important Fine Stock Purchase.

G.. D. Nichols and his son Charles at
tended the Great Berkshire Sale at the
Iowana Farm at Davenport last week,
and bought three choice bred sows at
the sale. From there they went the
following day to White Hall, ILL.,, to
w. S. Corsa's and attended the Greg
ory Farm Sale of bredsows and bought
the noted show sow, Schoolmaster's s
Lady 9Th, which sold at the top price
of the sale. Schoolmaster' Lady 9Th,
an out standing daughter of Master
piece, and dam by Hopeful Lee End,
the $500 son of Handsome Lee. This
young SOW is said to be one of the best
bred sows of America. She is well
along to farrow from the famous Sup
erbus which greatly enhances her value.
Superbus, priced $500 boar on the
Gregory Farm, is the sire of the
Worlds Grand Champion Boar, Grand
Leader End. at the Panama-Pacifc Ex-
position, San Francisco, California in
1915. Thus the Holland Farms secure
some of the plums in the Berkshire
line. 4sss.

The last evening session was in charge
of the county superintendent and re-
fleets credit on all those connected with
it. The spelling was good, and showed
that the pupils who entered the contest
had learned their list of words almost
perfectly. The little girls, Miss Mabel
Henry who sang, Miss Mildred Frank
who gave two readings, as well as Miss
Franks class, who favored us with two
songs, were especially fine.
The manual training and domestic
science exhibits of the country schools
of Howard county, that were made a
part of the institute, were extensive
and showed great interest on the part
of both the teachers and pupils in these
branches of study.
The institute on Thursday afternoon
held an election of officers for the year
1917, at which Mr.. John F. Murtha was
elected president, Mrs. C. V. johnson

in Iowa rather than going to Montana
or some other place. Also, S. A. Con
verse, Perry Wanless and Mr.. Gassett
had discussion on the transportation
problem and contrasted our nearness tc
market to those living in Montana.
The Albion Farmers club had the af-
ternoon Thursday which they filled in a
very enjoyable manner to the rest OF
the institute. Mrs. VIM. Wells, Vice
President of the Farmers Institute, was
chairman and made speech in opening
the session which was followed by in
strumental music by Mae and Sylvia
Ashley and Orsen Wells, an Invocation
by Rev. Guy Rutherford, and history
of the club by Miss Ashley. Mrs. FL
mer Nash read a fine paper on Charac-
ter Building. The Preservation of Milk
was the subject of q paper read by Mrs.
G. v. johnson. This paper was very
scientific explanation of why milk
soured and spoiled. Mrs. Johnson ex-
planned that part of her papers was the
work Of Mrs. Wells. There were ex-
cellent readings by Mrs. C. A. Wells
and Mr.. Arthur Livingston, and pa
per by Mrs. Oney Bateman in which
she dwelt on the Importance of books
on the farm. Mr.. C. V. Johnson talk
ed on seed corn which opened up a
general discussion in which Mr.. Doo-
little, Mr.. Gassett and others joined. 1t
seemed as if a person wanting to
start something" had only to say
"seed corn" or ''good roads" and a
discussion would arise that was almost
impossible to stop. At the close of the
afternoon, Mr.. Gassett, for the insti-
tute' moved vote of thanks to the
Albion people for their entertainment
which was unanimously carried.
Mr.. G. V. Punteney was able to be
present and make nice little speech
that was enthusiastically cheered.
Father Punteney admitted in his speech
that he was ninety-six years young.
AS to the entertainment part of the
institute all of the numbers except one
was rendered very nicely and that one
number we understand was missed by
mistake about the date of their ap-
pearance and not omitted by neglect.
Mr.. John Kakac and daughter Helen
gave US fine violin duet and Miss
Elen Dell good reading. Rev. Guy
Rutherford gave selection from Jas,.
Whitcomb Riley, arsading that was en-
joyed by all. The high school glee
club sang for US Wednesday evening
and Thursday evening Miss Charlotte
Melvold gave reading. Both of these
were appreciated by the institute,
Judging by the applause given them.
Friday afternoon Master Geo. Mead
sang solo and Master Herbert Howe
gave reading, Evening at the Farm"
that pleased the audience.

Sl.O0 PER YEAE
Great Feat by Wireless Amateurs.

Monday night the amateur wireless
operators of this great country proved
their worth to the government. They
performed feat which has never been
done in the history of the land. "A
message was sent by messenger from
the Rock Island arsenal to the wireless
station of w. H. Kirwin at Davenport.
At eleven o'clock that station sent
broadcast the message, which waa
picked up by all stations within radi-
US of three hundred miles. Then, pre~
viously arranged stations, in ever wid-
ening circles around the arsenal, took
up the message and relayed it until at
/ a. m. the message had been received
at every wireless station in the coun-
try. The message was as follows:
Mayor of the City: A democracy
requires that people who govern and
educate themselves should be so armed
and disciplined that they can protect
themselves.
Colonel Nicholson, U. S. A. -
1t was received in Cresco by Will
Rathert, at his powerful wireless sta-.
ton at HOS, direct from the Rock
Island station and delivered by him the
morning following to Mayor Barker,
who retains and highly prizes the first
official wireless message received in the
city.
The message was delivered to Presi-
dent Wilson and members os the cabi-
net that morning at 200 o'clock by an
amateur in Washington, D. c.
This scheme was heartily indorsed by
the government officials and will prove
invaluable in time of national peril.
The first move on the part of an invad-
ing force would be the severing of all
wire connection in the locality. Then
would be the time for the wireless to
show its real value to the country.
The credit for the success of this
organization is given to VIM. H. Kir-
wan, OF. Davenport. The system is per-
manent and will be transferred to the
U. S. signal corps in time of war.
