Our County Agent has been OF
much benefit to the farmers OF the
county, and il is no fault OF his that
he has not been of more value to
them. He has endeavored to get
the farmers to CO operate in selling
but so far has failed.
The Department of Agriculture
sen, Mr.. Harrison into our county
and is paying him. At the same
time Agents were sent into a few
other counties of the nation, one OF
them being Carroll comfy, Miss.
The County Agent there offered to
organize the farmers into an effect
i've CO operative working body, and
they accepted and organized the
Carroll County Prosperity Club one
day last June at the Court House
where the County Agent called
them together.
The Club has no dues, no con-
stitution or by laws. 1t is a SIM
ple medium through which under
takings for the good of the entire
county are carried on, and it has
proved beneficial in many ways. In
addition to the business gains,
which have been mutual, it has re-
suited in developing a feeling OF
friendship and confidence on both
sides.
During the first six months OF
last year, Carroll County shipped
comparatively S27, 1868 worth of
produce divided as follows: Hogs,
SlS,542; cattle, 81, 567. 50; poultry
and eggs, s. ,464.74, and potatoes,
$5,o12. AS Carroll County makes
no claim to large live stock in
dustry, these amounts are the more
creditable. For example, the hogs
shipped were all pick up hogs
the county had made no effort
heretofore to grow hogs except for
home use. Encouraged by the CO o.
operative shipping plan and reali-
zing the need for more pork,
Carroll County is now making a
great effort to increase its produc-
tion of these animals.
What this county way down in
Mississippi has done can be done
in Powell county, KY, and should
serve us as an object lesson.

Price on Milk Products Limited.

The United States Food Admin

following ruling, to which we have
been asked by Fred M. Sackett
Federal Food Administrator fol-
Kentucky to kindly give the widest
publicity in our paper:
Milk distributors take no
tice that there must be no in
crease made in the retail price
of milk or cream after January
s without written consent of
the District Food Administra
tor"
While the Times man is a dairy
farmer, of course in a small way
we shall heartily comply with the
above order. Not that we are
making too much money selling
butter fat at 55 cents per pound,
but there should be limit to every
thing. Now let the administration
call the other fellows to halt who
are charging us two prices for
things that we have to buy, and
we can live very well.

Italian Mission to Washington
Says Big Armies Suppress
R0Ishevism.
US. TO POLICE EUROPE, PLAN
Colonel PizzareiIo Declares American
Troops Are the Finest Men in the
World, and Are Ideal for Such
Service.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-Allied mill
tary representatives will be unanimous
in urging upon the peace conference
the necessity of maintaining in Europe
for at least two years larger standing
armies than in peace times, according
to Col. Ugo Pizzarello, one of Italy's
most famous war heroes, who has ar
rived in Washington from Rome en-
route to the large American cities.
Colonel Pizzarello for two and one
half years was in the battle line under
General Badoglio, second in command
of the Italian army. He has been
prominent in the councils of the Ital-
ian military experts and besides some
twenty decorations for valOr and serv-
ice was one of the twenty-six italian
heroes awarded the gold medal of val
or bv King Victor Emmanuel.
To Consult Americans.
While in America he will consult
Americans interested in the peace aims
of his country. ks
In an interview, Colonel Piazarello
discussed for the first time many Of
the conclusions reached by military
leaders of the continent.
He discussed the questions involved
in rehabilitation. the controlling STRAIT
egic elements of future war, the les
sons Italy gained from the small
American forces sent to her battle
front and the new spirit which has
come tc all Italy as result of the
struggi?.
Says Orlando Is Misquoted.
Colonel Pizzarello said:
"a report without foundation has
been printed widely that Premier Or
lando has said the Italian army shall
not disband because of future difficult
ties which may lie ahead.
"We cannot believe this statement
was made, for only today we have re
ceived definite denials in the copy of
an order by which Is classes of the
army are to be demobilized at once.
or half our army Of 100000. The la
bor situation, lack of food and trans
portation and other difficulties prevent
q greater rehabilitation now.
"But 1t must be borne In mind that
among the leaders of all the allied
armies the opinion is held that If the
new nations of Europe are to be pro-
tected from bolShevism and the law
lessness Of unframed men, Europe
must maintain larger armies for two
years than she did in peace times.
81 do not mean the new republics
need the pressure of armed forces, but
that they must he able to protect them
selves from the unrest which any pc
riOd of reconstruction breeds. 1t is
certain such thought will be expressed
strongly at the peace conference.
Yanks Would Be Ideal.
"In this policing of Europe Ameri-
can troops would be ideal They dis
closed themselves to us as the finest
men OF the world. Their ardent spirit
in battle, their daring. resourcefulness
and ability to work with troops of 9th
er nations without friction, prove them
capable of any task.
'In particular, I must praise their
elastic administration. Our army is
tied by red tape. as is every army in
Europe The Americans have an ad-
ministration which gives every officer
powers and initiative envied by every
European officer"

Tho Mule.

To our MIND the one breathing thing
in creation that has been the most
cruelty maligned is the mule. No more
hard-working creature walks the
earth; none with more faithful past
record none now more In demand in
the worlds service. What would we
DO in this war without the mule? What
can we do without him after the war
is over? Still he is despised and kick
ed around worse than though he were
hound dog. 1t is a shame. In the
readjustment Of things, let us right
this wrong and, If we have anything to
say to the mule, let us say 1t to his
face, which is wiser than saying it to
his hecls.-Los Angeles Times.
