SOME PATRIOTIC PIGS

lhe old adage that Pigs is Pigs
still holds true SO far as it con-
Germs the Times but when our sis

blue pig, we hand the sword of pa
trlotlsm over too it. We are heart
lly in accord with raising pigs
whether they show their patriotism
IN color or not, but when j. A.
Kline, who lives on the old Pete
Stollenwerk farm, on the north
edge Of Breckenridge and we'll
known to us and fellow citizens Of
this community, informed us of
the phenomenon, We thought that
the Klue Klux klan had been re.
lncarnated and made one of it's
famous rides.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE
Exceptionally BRI6HT

Crop prospects in general
throughout this section Of the
state are excellent in spite Of the
cold weather Of the past two or
three weeks and hopes are run.
ming high for a record breaking
crop this year, particularly in
small grain, which has seldom
looked better than it does right
now.
Beginning Monday this week
fine grain growing weather has
come to this section and this has
added to the enthusiasm Of the
crop prospects.
Pastures are doing fine in spite
Of the fact that the shortage of
feed compelled the farmers to
turn their stock into it early and
hay meadows give excellent pro-
mise of a heavy crop. Potatoes are
up through the ground and even
corn, which requires warmth and
sunlight to be at its best, has not
suffered to any marked degree.
Some fields of rye and grain
were quite badly damaged by the
recent hail storm but q large ma
jority of them escaped it entirely
and the rye is heading out nicely
and will soon be filling. The straw
is of good length and thus far
there is no sign of rust or any
other infection which might cut
down the yield.
With everybody praying for a
big crop this year of all years, the
progress made thus far is living
pretty we'll up to the earnest hopes
of the people.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE. 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement OF smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
Of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it In every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burlcy tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened &C TO replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasiing;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public
The result has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor Is
greatly improved. just as cooking improves
meat, for example ADV.

BRITAIN SCOTS
GERMAN PEACE
Allies Are Warned by Lloyd
George of Menace on West
ern Front.
PREMIER FOR WAR TO ElD'
Declares He Can See No Basis for
Negotiations in Recent Address
by Czernin-Must Fight
for Proper Peace.

London. Feb. 4.-Commeuting ON
The recent speech of the Austro- Hun
Sarlan foreign minister. Count Czerpfn.
IN reply 10 President Wilson, Premier
iIoyd-George said in the house of
coLIlnonS on Tuesday that when il
came TO the real substance of the de-
mandS Of the allies Count CZernin was
adamant.
president Wilson in his speech TO
congress called Count Czernin's tone
friendly.l
Mr.. Lloyd-GcOrge said the govern
lnent stood by the considered declnrn-
tloh made at the meetings with the
trades union representatives early this
year. The government, he added. did
NOT rccede in the least from its war
aims, as they had been stated. II
was no use, he said, crying peace
When there was no peace.
Regarding the supreme war council.
Mr.. Lloyd-George said it was impossi-
Die to make statement as to the de-
rlStons it reached without giving in
formation 10 the enemy.
The premier said he would like anv
member to point out anything in the
speeches of Count Czernin or Count
Won lertlins which could possibly be
regarded as proof that the central
powers were prepared to make peace
on terms which could be regarded as
just and reasonable
Germany'S action regarding Russia.
'he premier pointed out, proved that
h"r declarations regarding no anneya-
uonS had no real meaning.
Until there was some better proof
ihan had been provided in any of the
speeches to which he referred that
the central powers were prepared 10
consider the aims and ideals for which
the allies We're fighting. said Mr..
LIoyd-GeOrge, ii would be the nation's
reSrettable duty to 80 ON and make
preparations necessary in order TO es-
tablish international right.
The premier requested the house NOT
TO press the government regarding the
arrangements made for counterinp tbe
coming blow of the Germans.
The change in the military situation
brought about by the sending of Ger
man troops from the east to the west
was factor which must be considered.
the premier said, and it was essential
that the whole strength of the allied
army OF France, Great Britain, Amer
lea and Italy should be made available
for the point where the blow would
come. Arrangements should be made
under which the allies would treat
their army as one to meet the danger
ana menace wherever il should come.
