ior gifts, first and second on SOW on
SOW and her pigs under six months.
The Poland China exhibit consisted
Of thirty three head, shown by Thos.
Mckay. Sanders and johnson, and
John Whittet. Thos. McKay's SOW
took first in the over one year class.
He also took first and second on jun
Tor boar pigs. These young boars
were pigs Of immense size and fine
quality. Sanders and johnson made
fine showing of twenty-five head
Nof big boned growthy kind. They
captured all the other ribbons.
The Chester White showing con-
sisted of only seven head but they
were good ones. Ed. Albright's
herd boar took first dis best boar over
one year old and VIM. Green's six
| head took the other ribbons.
The Hampshires were represented
by only one animal, an excellent boar
belonging to Floyd Reynolds.
The new hog house is well adapted
to the purpose. It gives an excel
lent chance to bring together the
animals Of each class for comparison
by the judge and also by the specta-
| tors.
The prizes were awarded by the
County agent of Renville County.
Many were present during the judg
ing from ten a. m. to three p. m.
without intermission for dinner. The
judge took plenty Of time to compare
carefully and Ito explain fully his
reason for each award. Those pre-
sent were very much interested and
received definite benefits from these
explanations.
The climax Of the interest came
at the last when all the first prize
boars Of all the breeds, seven in all
were competing for the sweepstakes
prize, as the best boar Of my age
or breed. After somewhat lengthy
comparison this prize was awarded
to J. F. Corners herd boar, AM
Comets Chief.
It was the decision of all that this
was real hog show. We believe, with
our new hog house and proper en-
couragement by the fair board, this
can be made the best county hog
show in Minnesota.

P. M. Fuller and Sons exhibited
thirty three hogs representing every
age from small hogs to mature ami
mails, and they had entries in every
class. They won all the premiums
in the senior boar pig class and the
senior gilt class, which includes pigs
between six months and twelve
months old. The boar taking first
in this class was bought by them last
winter from the famous herd of Ed.
Kern, Randolph, Nebraska. He has
both size and quality and gives pro-
mise Of making a splendid animal.
For the best herd prize they showed
three herds, each containing a boar,
and three sows. They had no compe-
tition but the herds taking first and
second prizes were well worthy of
the ribbons. They also took first and
second on sows over one year, second
on boar over one year old, third on
junior gifts and third on SOW under
six months.
J. F. Conner exhibited fourteen
head consisting of his herd boar and
a pen each of boar pigs under six
months and gifts under six months.
His herd boar took first on boar ov-
er one year. Also sweepstakes as
the best boar Of any breed or any
age. First, second and third on jun

GERMANY AND PEACE

Once more Germany comes for
ward with her terms of peace and
once more are meeting with little re-
thorities and all efforts on her part
to secure the peace which she desires
will be to no avail.
Germany cannot be trusted and her
efforts to secure a peace to her llk-
ing will be of no avail. The new
German chancellor, Prince Maximil-
ian, will find that he, like his prede-
cessors has hard row to hoe and all
his efforts for peace will meet with
little response.
President Wilson does not care for
a peace treaty which smacks of one
iota of a German suggestion. We
have declared through the president
that it will be force to the utmost
and when the time comes for set
tlement Germany will be unable to
gain single one of her concessions
which she is striving for at this time.
The Hun chancellor hopes to make AL
sace-Lorraine automotons to Ger
many and desires the return of her
colonies. How small these two con-
cessions seem in print, yet how great
they are when we consider hem for
moment Her blood thristing
kaiser sought to become a world rul-
err: he hoped to steal the colonial
possessions of other nations and yet
he asks that his colonies be returned.
He has sought for fifty years to
quench the fiery zeal Of the Alsatians
l. II hoe
failed, yet he wants to have them
made automotons and under his pow
er. These latest proposed peace
terms of the kaiser will be cast aside
as his former request and when the
time comes for peace, it will be when
the Germans promise to disarm as
their Bulgarian allies have and no
sooner.
Germany is crumbling and it cheers
the hearts of the optimists, but it is
not yet time for us to rejoice and
think of peace. Hun propogandists
are at work and who knows but that
this peace offer is merely blind to
make same of us think they are COM
pei exhausted and to discourage
our SUI scriptions to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan which is now under way.
They have not refrained from any
thing low and barbarious and they
will not reform now if it means a
check to our progress. We are in
this war to finish and let's put our
shoulders to the grindstone and work
all the harder. We must remember
that the kaiser and his cohorts are
treacherous and any peace terms
they may submit have some German
advantage in view.
Germany is war weary and would
like to get out with half skin. We
in America are peace lovers, but
when the terms are ready to be
signed we shall be the dictators and
the Huns the igners. We are at
present floating the greatest bond is
sue that any nation has ever attempt
ed. Don't let this suggestion of peace
enter our minds let's work, work,
work! and when our wonderful pres
ident mentions the word "peace" let
us prick up our ears and listen, but
until he does let us uuse force to the
utmost. The greater the force, the
greater the peace.

THE SAVING TIME COMING

While the people are learning great
lessons in economy now the legisla-
tive law mill at Washington is spend
ing money with lavish hand and no
one finds fault but there is a day
coming when the government will
have to hold down expenditures as
never before. We are going to win
the war now no matter what the
cost. Once the war is over there
must be made then all along the line
to wipe out the awful Indebtedness
created by the present conflict. -

LOOKING A GIFT HORSE IN THE

One Of the results Of the campaign
Of the American Library association
for gift-books last spring was an in
flux of reading material of the type
which careful mothers take pains to
remove fom the environment of 10
year-old daughters.
That the gift-horse had to be IN
spected carefully was demonstrated a
number of times. To one camp libra
ry came copies of Zola's Z Assem-

WOOD COUNTY FAIR.
(By J. F. Conner).

At the request of the Gazette, j.
F. Conner of Redwood Falls has pre-
pared the following articles on the
hog exhibit at the recent County
Faid.
At our recent county fair no ex-
hibit attracted more attention than
the hog show at the new barn. This
was undoubtedly the best, both as to
numbers and quality, ever seen in this
county.
The Duroc Jersey had the largest
number, in three head. The ex-
hibitors were P. M. Fuller and Sons,
J. F. Conner, Lee Winter, and Ed.
Chapman. The ribbons were divid-
ed between the Fuller and the Conner
herds.

Interesting Letters From the
"ront"

1
| Many of us have wondered at
times what the first sensations
to an aviator were. Hiram Rowe.
son of Mr.. and Mrs. F. S. Rowe
Of Fort Pierre, has had those
first sensations and in a letter
to his parents, copied in last
weeks Fort Pierre Times, des-
cribes them most Interestingly.
He has recently graduated from
the aviation school at Berkeley,
Cal, and is now at North Is
land near San Diego, where he
is learning to fly. He writes
Had my first flight yesterday,
and it was wonderful. Was up
almost an hour. Can describe
the feeling because l don't think
there was any, except when we
would turn a sharp corner or
loop the loop. The first loop he
made l was scared, or at least
didn't realize what he was
doing, and then when the mach
inc was upside-down l looked
down and believe me it seemed
queer. But you have no tenancy
to leave your seat, but want to
go right through it. But the most
fun is working the machine your
self. Hard work the first time
but Isoon got SO | could hold
it steady. Then he played tag
with another machine and that
was fine. Then we took joy
ride. At one time we were
almost down to Mexico. The
highest altitude we were up
was 1000 feet. Altogether it
was FUN. Have to 60 up again
in the morning
Oliver Marion, also from Fort
Pierre, but with Battery G
somewhere in France, writes a
very readable letter to his
parents. Raised on a fruit farm
he looked with eyes OF expert
ence from his car door on the
vineyards and orchards Of sunny
France. He likes the climate and
the people, and one might judge,
from the following excerpt from
his letter, that a nice little ro-
nance has recently been started
II have accepted q proposition

glish one night per week in Re-
