BREEDERS SALE A
HUGE SUCCESS

The Iiichland County Registered
Live Stock Breeders Association
held its first sale OH the 21st. The
following stock was sold: short
horn bulls. Holstein cows. Hol-
stein bulls, Duroc sows. 1 Berk-
shire SOW. Chester White boar and
! Percheron stallion This makes
30 animals in all Shorthorn bulls
We're in big demand No doubt,
twice as many could have been sold.
A. w. Peterson's calf brought
$2O2,50. AS class they were not
in show condition. Present feed
prices ard feed conditions no doubt
had much to do with it,
H0lStein cows were in good de-
mand. Good cows brought good
prices. Henry Ohezik's "Pieterjie
Duchess Chihinkapa" brought $500.
Holstein bull calves were we'll rep
resented but did not bring nearly
what their breeding was worth.
Brood sows sold fairly we'll. Mr..
Hasty's fine Chester White SOW was
easily the best offering. Two splen-
did boars were sold at small figures
OF three stations consigned, only
one was sold.
Taking it all in all. this first sale
is success. The attendance was
close to the 200 mark. Nearly
every one was favorably impressed.
Nearly all the stock was sold. Next
fall no doubt, we will have much
bigger and better sale. The time
to begin to get ready is now. Pick
out the animals you are to consign
and get them ready, SO that they are
in perfect show condition when the
time comes Do not consign any
thing out of season. Consign early
so that catalogue can be gotten
out. and the sale more widely adver-
tised. Above all get your neighbors
and friends interested so that there
will be two good auctions in Rich
land County each year. If this is
done. farmers will have plenty OF
chance TO dispose of breeding stock
on hand, as well as chance to get
what stock they need. In this wa,

In another colony, the East Africa
p~rotectorate, a similar law exists, linn
tied however to certain crown lands.
These lands may be leased for 999
years at rents nominal at first bat
subject to a gradual increase up to
three per cent Of the unimproved val
ue. AS the value increases the rent
is to be increased of course.
Both colonies are to be congratu-
lated. Had the land system Of Niger
ia been applied to America when set
Element began, how different condi-
tons would be today. No one would
ever have taken any land that he did
not intend to use, and all unused hat
ural resources would today be open
to the use of any n desiring it.
There would be no unemployment, no
poverty, no periods Of hard times,
But a way exists to rectify the error.
A change in the taxation system SO
as to tax the rental value of land in
to the public treasury would accom-
plish that result. Unless done these
African colonies surpass us.

finally being discharged from the Ma
Honal army at Camp Travis, notes q
San Antonio correspondent. The
young man had been drafted from an
Oklahoma town. and, appearing be-
fore the exemption board passed the
medical examination, and having 9TH
erwise qualified was accepted and
came to Camp Travis for training with
several thousand others from his
state.
He had been enlisted and was work
ing when the recruits were given =
color test by the army doctors. When
a blind was put owe the good eye the
owner of the perfect glass optic could
not distinguish red from white, and
the deception was discovered. Ply
sically the owner of the false eye
was otherwise built for a. sol
dier, but this one blemish was sufi-
Gent to q his release and no was

Pigeons, Mistakes.

Carrier pigeons have extensive use
In the present war, despite the compe-
tition Of the wireless. the telephone,
the Telegraph and the "wig-wagger."
But the old superstition that the birds
have an infallib1e sense Of direction
is pretty well upset. I'VE frequently
have birds blunder back to us with
their messages intact" remarked a
French officer. "The noise and con-
fusion Of battle or the tremendous
smoke pail that overhangs the battle
lines for days seem to confuse them in
some fashion. Frequently they will cir
Gle around for i've or ten minutes be-
fore determining their proper direc-
ton. About so per cent Of the birds
achieve their objective. The rest are
listed as missing They are probably
prey to the hawks that have not
ceased their depredations, despite the
patriotic purpose Of their victims"

Why We Must Save Sugar.

Americans eat more sugar than 9th
er folks do, more than is really good
for them. We have been using four
ounces. apiece daily, other people half
as much. And now u Allies are
down to one ounce a day-or less.
Till the new crop comes in there
is not enough sugar in the country to
give us our usual allowance. We may
have to cut down on sugar, whether
we choose or not.
During the canning aso you
were told to use sugar for preserving,
because by eating preserves we save
fats. Otherwise-Save Sugar.
Instead of four ounces a day, use
not more than two. That is more
than folks have in Europe. Save at
least an ounce of sugar a day.
Give the children syrup, honey,
molasses, preserves. It's better for
them than candy. Munich raisins if
you crave sweets. Go light on sugar
in tea and coffee. Don't leave any in
the bottom of the cup. Stint your
self on sweet drinks. Eat your cake
without frosting.
Nibbling sweets to tickle the palate
never did anyone any good. Too
much makes a body logy. And now
that sugar is wanted to win the war.
it's a sin to use any for mere indul-
gence.
One ounce a day-that's all it takes
to make a stock Of 1,185,O00 tons this
year for our Army and our Allies.
Saving that ounce'a day is part of
Your War Service.

PRODUCTION vs..
CONSUMPTION.

"And the rise in prices which comes
about for this sort Of lending is
cumulative. As the prices of wal
supplies rise the money cost of wal
grows and the Government has to
borrow more. Bigger loans by US to
the Government require bigger loans
to us from the bank. This further
expansion of bank credit favors a
further rise of commodity prices,
starting the whole process yer again
in a vicious circle.
"But rising commodity prices pre-
sent only n Of a series of evils that
will follow if we continue far on the
wrong road. If the wild scramble to
buy-the public competing against
the Government and the producer
trying to satisfy both-there is in

plies. There occurs railway conges-
ton, al shortage, coal famine (for
instance, from using up coal in nom
essential industries and from using
the ear needed to move it) and 9TH
