LOCAL Pig CLUB
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS OF MAD
ISON AND LAKE COUNTY.

Last Saturday afternoon there
was organized a pig club for Madison
and Lake county with membership
open to boys and girls of 10 to Is
years. r. Hayes from the extension
department of the agricultural coll
lege at Brookings was in the city on
Monday comforting with I. j. Bibby
concerning the project.
1t was thought necessary to get
started thus early so that ample time
might be had to bring prize winners
to the best of condition before bring
ing them in for Judging and auction
next fall. Now is the time for the
boys and girls of Lake county to Join
the pig club and buy a good register
ed sow of any breed. Some are sure
to ask: May 1 buy a Duroc?" Yes;
buy a Duroc or any other kind, but
before buying look up the pedigree
carefully and have your father, or
some n who is a good judge of fine
breeds, assist you in selecting a sow
that conforms closely to type and is
a thoroughbred. Indications now
point to the fact that the Duroc is a
ruling favorite.
This is a project that has been
worked out through the Lake county
farm bureau, the organization that
combination stock sale at the local
fair grounds, and it has for it's object
the interesting of boys and girls in
the raising, care and sale of high
grade animals and incidentally awak-
eniDg in the minds of members a
deeper love for farm life and its va
ried interests. 1t helps the young
people to be successful in animal
husbandry.
Prizes are going to be offered for
the best boar and the best gilt and
it is hoped that the competition for
these prizes will be strong. These
prizes will be presented by competent
judges from out of town. Now, boys
and girls of Lake county and Madi-
son does that interest you? 1t
should for some of you are not only
going to win these prizes, but you are
going to receive enough cash from
the sales of the filters of the sows
you buy now to pay for your SOW
and have a tidy sum left to invest or
place in the bank for a time deposit.
Meetings for members will be held
and exercises in judging given. Here
will be the opportunity to study type
and breed and grow familiar with
those features that represent the real
pure bred hog. This is a great edu-
cation in itself. On that day next
fall when the sale is held there will
be contests in judging by all mem
bers of the pig club.
This club is conducted both for in
terest and for profit. If you have
not the money to buy a sow and start
now. borrow the amount from your
father or some friend, but do not de-
lay. Those who do not know where
to join the Lake county and Madison
Pig club can leave their name with
either Frank Krug or I. j. Bibby
both of Madison. Mr.. Bibby can be
seen any day at the Madison cream.

STRANGE VARIETIES OF FOOD
People of Different Parts of the Earth
Are Shown to Have Decidedly
Different Tastes.

Strange foods, such as potato -four,
artificial protein cakes, green bone-dust
preparations, tabloid soups, pudding
powders and other unusual things, have
come into use during the wal and their
adoption serves to remind US that much
good food material Is neglected In or
binary use. Only q few people eat
snails most Of US would starve amidst
plenty of l%Ocusts; and the thought of
snakes as food would give those. who
call themselves civilized the shudders.
But unusual food, once become ia
miliar, Is often relished. Colonel
Roosevelt got the best work from his
men on his African expedition by
promising them raw steaks from
slaughtered appropriateness. Cap
tain Bartlett, who carried ~Stefansson
to the arctic water, found raw polar
bear flesh more appetizing than any
thing he had eaten at home.
Frenchmen eat snails and dog steaks
cost there more than mutton. Some
arctic tribes prefer to have their fish
decomposed before eating them, and
even then perhaps they smell no worse
than Limburger or Brie cheese. South
Americans eat lizards and mares milk
is a favorite Russian beverage. Truly,
"there is no accounting for tastes."-

motive power was of the best in those
days, and consisted OF several yoke OF

Mr.. Higginson ran his train on a tri-

ready for the trip he loaded the oxen
into the first box car In the train. IN
the next car he had put the freight n

the steep grade out of Marshall and
after they had rolled as far as they
would Mr.. Higginson set the brakes
and proceeded to unload the oxen and
hitch them to the coupling of the car.
Then he released the brakes and start

car and another start was made down.

thing the owner of the line could get.
Since there was no competition. Mr..
Higginson made money. All freight
was marked "red ball" and handled
as 0 o as received.

CITY HAVING RAPID GROWTH
Norfolk Bids Fair to Break all Rec
ords at Her Present Rate
Of Progress.

There is not a city in this country,
perhaps none in the world, that is
growing at a more ra&1d rate than Nor
folk" remarked G.. w. Sizer, manager
of one of the leading hotels of that
city, at the Raleigh, the Washington
Post states. "The last census gave
the population Of Norfolk at less than
10000. Today it is estimated that Nor
folk is a city of 10000. or more than
double the size IL was in 1910. Wash
ington prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained in the last two or
three years. l take considerable pride
in the growth of Washington, for /
lived here many years. but the pro-
p%ortionate increase In the population
of the national capital cannot compare
with that of Norfolk. OF course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, l presume, is the busiest
city In the world, but Norfolk is al
most next.
champion Roads is filed with ships.
Battleships are passing In and out
every hour, and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi-
dences of Norfolk. Only recently |
saw some 1000 soldiers from New Zea-
land parading through the streets of
Norfolk. Many of them were not
young. New Zealand already has sent
close to 10000 men to the front In
France, and Belgium, out Of a popu-
lation of 100000, and is still sending
men, which should be an object les
son to US.
Business is booming in Norfolk as
never before. The hotels are filed TO
overlooking just as they are in Wash
ington. New business blocks are GO
ing up and the residence sections of
the city are being extended far into
the outlying districts. / venture to say
that in another decade Norfolk will
come close to being the leading city In
the Old Dominion, both in population
and Importance"

Cock and Bull Story.

Cock fighting Is still the national
sport of the Dominicans. although II Is
declining In popularity. Under the ma.
tional gambling laws cock fighting MAY
be prohibited. II may. however. be II.
censed by the various municipalities,
and II usually is, as 1t Yields them a
good revenue While bull fighting Il
permitted In the Dominican republic,
II has never been popular In this island.
AT long Intervals a toreador comes here

ico' and a few bull fights are held in
the various towns. but they do not st.
tract a large attendance. There are
no professional bull fighters among the
Dominicans.-Commercisl Reports.

Playing the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing In the strenuous game of life
as 1t is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
best that Is In us must be given to
carry on" and the race run with
steadfastness and a manly purpose.
AS Robert l.. Stevenson so beautifully
puts 1t: whether we regard life as a
line leading to a dead wall-a mere
bags end, as the French say-or
whether we think of 1t as a vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny whether we thun-
der In a pulpit or pule In little esthetic
poetry books about Its vanity and brew
ity, whether we look justly for years
of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into a bath chair, as a step to-
wards the hearse; In each and all Of
these views and situations there is but
one conclusion possible; that a man
should stop his ears against paraly-
sing terror and run the race that is
set before him with a single mind"
