Around the Consolidated School

The entertainment and basket" so
cial, given at the school last Friday
evening, was complete success. The
auditorium was full of people, who
enjoyed themselves we'll. After a
heavy mixed program and an ad-
dress by Rev. Stegner, the lunch bas-
kets were sold by the auctiOneers
Norby and Foley to the highest bid
der. They sold very well, every
body realizing that the money was
we'll spent for a noble cause. About
$3.50 was raised, most of which is net
to the Alberta Red Cross Chapter.
This will make it possible for the la
dies of the chapter to continue their
work for the soldier and sailor boys.
The greatest amount ever raised in
Alberta before was $64 at one time,
so this affair of last Friday more
than doubled that.
The following teachers were to the
NJ. E. A. convention last week and
report splendid and helpful time:
Miss Hale, Miss Hack, Mrs. Mid
ul6SI0uL anu MI. NIdl6luldu
Mr. and Mrs. Grafelman were
most pleasantly entertained at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Bach last Sun
day afternoon and evening. After a
sumptuous supper both hosts and
guests attended church services in
PeppertOn. The Grafelmans report
magnificent time
Several of the high school boys
took part in the work Of raising
funds for the Y. NJ. c. A last Mon
day. AS we learn, they were sue
cessful in securing a large amount
for this noble purpose.
This week Friday, Nov 16, big
community meeting will be held il
the school auditorium at p. m. A
very fine program will be rendered

u. FARM SCHOOL TOPS
ST. PAUL HOG MARKET
Shipment of 33 Hogs From Farm
School Monday Tops Market
at 20 Cents

A shipment of 33 hogs from the
South St. Paul market was the sub
ject of a feature article in the ST..
Paul Live Stock Reporter on Tuesday
of this week. This shipment of hogs
topped the market by zoe and made
the highest price of any shipment
on the market last Monday. There
was a run Of 10000 hogs, one Of
the heaviest days for some time past
which brought this shipment to the
attention of hog raisers all over the
entire state. The top price for hogs
on Monday was $685. and this
shipment brought $16.75 or zoe over
the top price. The consignment was
made up of 33 spring pigs, narrowed
in April and averaged over the buy
ers' scales 216 pounds. This lot of
pigs were grown on alfalfa pasture
and fed a ration Of 70 per cent bar
ley, 20 per cent shorts and 10 per
cent tankage. The lot made over a
pound of gain per day since birth
and have made a very substantial

that all grain was bought at market
prices. The question has often come
up whether hogs can be grown in
this part of Minnesota without the
feeding of corn. The University
Farm in addition to maintaining a
large herd of pure bred hogs, has
endeaVOred to answer some of these
feeding questions and two years re-
suits have thus far proven very con-
clusiVely that barley is a very excel
lent substitute for corn. Otherwise,
they could not be grown so as to
bring such a substantial premium on
the open market. Professor Jordan
believes that with existing prices,
hogs may be grown very profitably
in western Minnesota if alfalfa or
clover pasture is used to supplement
the grain ration.
1t is interesting to note that these
hogs were grown upon alfalfa that
was cut for hay at the same time,
fifteen pigs being allowed to the
acre. Some of these pigs were raised
on self feeder and some by the or
binary trough feeding method
The complete results of the feeding
experiments will be published about
January 1 in the 1917 report of the
Morris Station. Farmers who are
interested in pork production should
receive this annual report as the re-
suit of these are especially interest
ing in these times of high feed costs
University Farm still has about u
head of spring pigs of which abou
so will be sold. These are all pure
bred hogs Of the very finest breeding
and should find their way into thu
herds of Stevens County farmers

New War Flag Flying at Fort Lyon


Many visitors to the Naval Reser-
vation east of Las Animas have per-
haps noticed the new flag flying un-
der the national ensign from the
flag staff on the parade ground, and
have wondered at its significance
The new flag. which is red cross
on white fround is the insignia of
the medical service OF the armies and
navies, and is required to be flown
from all hospitals, ambulances, hos
pital ships, etc, during the progress
of war. under the Naval ensign, in
accordance with the rules of the Ge-
neva Convention. The red cross de-
vice was originally selected as a
compliment to Switzerland as the
first international convention for
the purpose of taking steps to amel-
iorate the condition Of the sick and
wounded in the field, in 1864, was
held in Geneva, Switzerland.

mer we expect to get $4,000 to
10000 pounds. We have fourteen
condensaries now instead OF one.
At our Morrison condensary we are
making Improvements to the extent
OF $4,000. At our condensary at

last fall. we expect to improve this
fall to the extent OF $25.OOO, which
goes to show briefly that we go into
a community and try to gain the
confidence of the farmers, and in
so doing II naturally means that we
have to enlarge to take care OF the

having been In the community two
or three years and all are unani-

farmers condition. In communities
where steers and hogs are raised Il

TO settle up every month.

Blouse Jewelry A New Fad.
There is nothing like smart neck
lace or brooch-and one says smart
in connection with jewelry quite adj
vised1y, these days-to give the in
dividual touch to a ready-fnade blouse.
The blouse may be exactly like a
hundred other blouses sold on the
same counter, but an ornament added
to it with real thought and perfect
taste will achieve for it personality;
will make of 1t creationt Did you
ever try fastening a round brooch
against a butterfly bow of black tulIe
and pinning the ornament against the
front of a simple white silk blouse ?
Try it and see how smart and dressed
up the blouse Immediately becomes.
There Is more character, more Style
Importance in brooch or a string
of beads than most women realize,

for these little effects who gains the
reputation for chic and individuality
of dress.

stitches. This embroidery appears

another pleasing shape is the droop-

white lace hat and the black jetted
net model are Of this type. The con-
ventional sailor shape, with square
crown and straight brim standing out

a charming transparent hat, smart as
this type has been considered during
the past season. A transparent brim
should slope slightly downward. SO
