nesday. He enjoyed a free ride
on the o. w. R. & N. Motor bug an
other on the Hotel Moscow bus, and
then forsook the gasoline transports
for steam, and boarded the afternoon
Northern Pacific train to continue his
journey, only to land in the arms OF
"cops" at Pullman, a most ignominious
ending to his days adventure. And
but for his tender years, he might have
been passed on to Uncle Sam himself,
for neither Herman Snieders nor Jake
Schlitz is not allowed to roam at
large these days except on stated bus
mess.
The parents of the young lad who
made the journey, Mr.. and Mrs. ii.

is locomotive engineer, but for the
past week the family have been visit

this year ever given in the north
west.
What we would like to do espec-
tally in this section, Secretary C1ag-
stone said; would be to arouse a
more general interest among the
farmers in general and the boys and
girls. To reach this end we are this
year offering a large number of
prizes that will prove attractive to
the boys especially-good prizes for
colts. calves and pigs.
Big Premiums This Year
Our premiums this year will ag-
gregate $4,000 more than last year.
The increase in meat production we
consider so vital to the welfare of the
nation that we are determined to put
on more steam in this year of war
instead of stacking up.

that the whole state will get behind
the enterprise this year. Last year
we increased the membership to 100
