River Junction has again embarked in
an extensive endeavor = TO bring back
sheep to Vermont hills, supplementing its
large initial distribution of 1917; and il
is because of the success and popularity
of this first sale that the bank at the
urgent request of last years purchasers,
has started this second sale.
The sheep in this second lot are by
Lincoln rams and Rambouillet ewes, this
having the endorsement and recommen-
dation OF leading Vermont and New Eng
land breeders
The bank has many letters from its
customers of last year, printed copies of
which are in distribution by the banks.
The selection of the ewes in the flock
was by L. c. Daniels of PlainGeld. \. H..
and Howard j. Miller of North Hartland
both of whom are farmers of experience.
1t is the one single aim of the bank
under the direction of the cashier, c. L.
lie Bousseau, to persuade the Vermont
farmers to restore the breeding of sheep
The sheep, incidentally, are offered IL
the farmer at exactly the price paid by
the bank. 1t charges nothing for doing
| the business.

The farmer having only one hog

The farmer having only n nOg
has been enabled to get just as much
per pound for one hog as the man
having a car load. This has been ac-
complished through cooperative ship
ping. Each farmer pays his part of
the shipping expenses which is based
on the number of pounds he puts into
the shipment, and each farmer IS
paid for his hogs or cattle, depending
on which he is shipping, according to
the class of his stock.
We want to assist the farmers in
getting all they gan for their cattle
and hogs, SO we are planning a CO.
operative shipment for next We'd
nesday, February IS. Any farmer
having stock that he would like to put
in a shipment on that date should get
in touch with your County Agent at
once and have him book your stock
for the shipment.

Save the Hens.

Every laying hen sold from
the farm before the first Of May
means a loss of about 80 eggs
to the food supply of the Ma
ton. These eggs are valuable
food, manufactured largely
from insects, weeds and grass,
garbage and waste. The eggs,
therefore, are almost wholly a
net gain in human food. More
over, the hen is just as good
meat after she has laid these
eggs as before.
Save the hens is the message
that the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is sending
broadcast through press notices
and posters, and through its
county agents, especially in the
southern poultry-raising Sec
tions.

Found in Prison Camp.

The Associated Press dis
patches this week stated
that the American Red Cross
had found in a prison camp at
Tuchel, West Prussia six Amer
lean soldiers, captured on No
vember 3rd. One of these pris-
oners was John P. Lester, of
Tutwiler, Miss.
This brings the war to our
'shomes and our bosoms."
Some of our own friends and
relatives are dead; some are
wounded or some are in the
prison camps of the Germans.
How can we help to get these
boys out Of the prison camps?
the answer is buy war savings
stamps. If every person in
the land would buy one stamp
a week, the Government would
get some of the many million
dollars needed to keep the war
going and put us on the win
ming side. Every stamp you buy
helps to beat the Huns.

MEETING.

Our city was honored on last Tues
day evening by the presence of about
thirty or forty distinguished gentle
men, who compose the Lee County
Bankers association. This organiza-
ton has been in force for several
years and holds stated meeting at
which various phases of financial
problems are discussed. The regular
meeting place is at Tupelo, but owing
to the limited hotel facilities in Tu-
pelo at this time they held their ban
quet, which is their custom, in this
city, where adequate arrangements
were made with the Walker hotel to
accommodate about forty people. The
party arrived here about five o'clock
in automobiles from Tupelo. The
meeting was held in the parlors of the
Walker hotel. Judge J. Q. Robins, of
Tupelo delivered the opening address,
after which quite a number of speak
ers were introduced and a general dis
cussion of financial and other affairs
was had. At $50 the banquet was
served, and it was then discovered
that bankers, like everybody else, can
break over Mr.. Hoover's admonitions
whenever opportunity affords.
The members of the association left
we'll pleased with their visit to u
city and the courtesies extended
them. So quietly had the arrange
ments been made that few people
knew anything about it until the par
ty arrived. This is ex-
planned by the fact that
the association is solely a Lee county
affair, composed of Lee county bank
ers, who meet at stated intervals in
Tupelo, and like other people they
sometimes get hungry, consequently
they usually have refreshments serv-
ed at the conclusion of their deliber-
ations.
However, our local bankers, who
are in Prentiss county, were invited
to participate. The editor of the
Journal acknowledges an invitation
to be present on this occasion and
regrets his inability to attend on ac-
count of physical disability and adj
verse weather conditions. This ~associa-
ton has been doing great work among
the farmers, pig clubs and canning
clubs Of Lee.county.-Baldwyn Home
