JUDGE AND RED CROSS BULL

One of the very best things that ever
come to the Demopolis section was
Judge Jehu T. Stok eley He has built
up wonderful. beautiful farm Just
out from Demopolis. and it has be-
come local Institution and a commu-
nifty pride and all of our people are
personally interested In the activities
and successes OF the Marengo farms.
On March II there will be really
great Hereford sale on the Stokeley
farm. The best individuals of famous
Hereford winners will be offered for
sale and breeders and farmers from
many states Will be here to select from
the best that can be found in the Here
ford family.
Just to show that big man can do
a thing in a delicate manner, Judge
Stokeley has given the best of the herd
as gift to the Demopolis Red Cross
chapter. This is the best individual of
the best blood Of the best breed of the
beef type animal in all the world. He
Is youth bred on alfalfa meadows of
this famous section, watered from a
flowing artesian we'll. and developed
by the best Hereford breeder in Ala

No Carolina statesman or virginia

more illustrious line of leaders
Marengo LIST is a 10000 bull He
is easily worth this to any farmer who

bull and shabby bull is Just about

the same as that between a real man
and Stacker.
1t will be matter of pride for the
Demopolis people to cultivate, push
and pull for this bull. He Is worth
all they can do for him. He is a win
ner in any show, a prize worth work
ing for, and he represents such a
worthy cause. He Is a useful bull a
valuable bull patriotic bull. Just
think! He will do more for the Red
Cross and America than many stingy
bankers have done or will do. He is
worth every man in Marengo who Is
not helping win the war. This is a
generous bull and offers himself to
help the suffering and wounded boys
who have gone over to France.
When Judge Stokeley had been
among us long enough to really know
our section and our people, he said:
Your people shall be my people" Now.
we want to say to Judge Stokeley:
Your bull shall be our bull"
We want to request every man and
woman in the Demopolis section to re-
member March ~ and to shoot the
bull only with darts of praise and
thanksgiving
The Red Cross is the most worthy OF
all war activities. The bull is assoc
ciated with the Red Cross for the first
time. We must cultivate the bull until
sale day and push the bull on every oc-
casion.
May the Red Cross, Stkeley and the
bull live long to celebrate the alliance
that will make possible the furnishing
or supplies for our local chapter

Tasty Rice Dishes

Louisiana Rice Corn Bread-Rice
improves either plain corn bread or
corn bread made with eggs and milk.
Use 1t in both. Corn bread made with
eggs and milk is rich in protein and

half cups corn meal, two tablespoons
melted fat, one teaspoon salt. one tea
spoon baking powder. Beat eggs very

pan in hot oven.
Scalloped Rice-Two cups of boiled
rice, one cup of white sauce and one
forth cup of finely shredded Goldfish
which has been parboiled 10 minutes
in hot water. Cover the bottom of an
oiled baking dish with rice. then add
the Goldfish and cover with white
sauce. Sprinkle the top with bread
crumbs and bake in a moderate oven
until brown.
Eggs may be used to top this seal
Ion instead OF bread crumbs. Arrange
iish and rice in alternate layers, fin-
ishing with rice Add white sauce to
each layer and sprinkle with paprinka.
Carefully break four eggs on top, dot
with sauce and season with salt and
parrika Bake in oven until eggs are
set"

More Hogs Go to Farms

There has been large increase this
fall In the number of hogs shipped to
farms and ranches for breeding and feed
ing, instead of being sold for slaughter
This movement of "stockers and feeders"
from the large markets OF the country
was four times as heavy during October
this year as during the same month
last year and for September and October
combined the movement was three times
heavier this year than last These hogs
that have gone back to farms, and
ranches instead of being slaughtered,
will of course increase the pig crop next
year. The movement is considered a
definite indication Of some of the results
of the campaigns of the United States
department of agriculture, state colleges
and other agencies, waged In all the lead
ing hog-producing states, with the object
of bringing about the saving of breeding
stock this winter.

a worsted ball makes an excellent
plaything for baby If it is sus-
pended from his carriage or crib it will
help him to learn to focus his ewes
and he will be amused by il for a long
time. When the child is little older,
let him sit on a quilt on the floor and
play with several balls in the six pri-
mary coiorst red, orange, yellow, green.
blue and violet. Each ball should have
a worsted string of the same color at
tached to it. When the child is a little
older still, play simple little games with
him, such as rock-a-by baby, pendulum
of clock, swinging back and forth
and up and down and in other WAYS
that will occur to every mother Uncon-
sciously the child will acquire a sense
of form, color, motion and position by
these games. Say to him, See the pref
ty round balls. See the pretty red pa
per- and the child will delight ofind
and bring to you other things that are
round like the ball and red like the pa
per.
Clothes pins make an excellent play
thing for babies. They can be used for
babies or soldiers, or to make fences,
trees, log houses. and many other in
teresting things. Playthinss that can
be taken apart and put together again
are good to have; also blocks with which
the child can build all kinds of objects
engines that he can push along the
floor, balls to bounce and throw. doll
carriages. washing sets. etc Dolls with
clothes that button and intuition and
come off, may be used to teach the chill
dren how to dress and undress them
selves.
BEADS ARE USEFUL
Kindergarten beads are, very useful
and helpful They are in the form or
half-inch wooden balls, cubes and cylin-
ders, in the six primary and secondary
colors, and also in the natural wood
A shoe lace is used for stringng them.
l would suggest, to begin with that the
child string the balls only, and all IN
one color. After he has made a long
string of these. ask If he would like
to muse two colors. He will probably
string them in irregular order at first.
and if so 1t will be necessary to suggest
alternating the colors, putting on two of
one color and one of another, and so on.
In this way he will soon learn all the
colors, and numbers perhaps up to six
or eight, and will know one form Form
is the most difficult subject for the lit
tie child to grasp. and for this reason
the different forms should be introduced
last in these little lesson.
What else is there with which little
children's hands can be kept occupied ?
First of all sand. Just turn the Children
loose In pile or table of sand. with a
spoon pail, cup, or anything with
which they can dig or shovel 1 person
