the fact that the majority of the con-

appeal to store coal early there are
yet number of communities in the

JUDGING CONTEST
PRIZE WINNERS IN BOYS CLASS
IN STOCK GRADING. ll.

If the Mahaska County Farm Bu-
reau never accomplishes any other
work it should have credit for start
ing a mighty popular idea at the
Southern Iowa Exposition, that Of
the Boys Judging Contest" tried
out for the first time this season.
The success of the iGea was estab-
lished when thirty-four lads, repre-
senting almost every township in the
county, entered the contest.

Saturday forenoon was devoted to
this class but the time. was not suf-
ticient for the lectures and the work
of stock Judging. The instructors
had to hurry through their instruction
too much. The class was supposed
to be for the benefit of the boys. but
the lecturers had so big an audience
of the elders that the members of The
class were crowded for space. 1t
was feature as good as a short
course at the State college.
Dwight Beman gave the lecture
with illustrations on horse judging.
Willis Krizer brought out his prize
winning Short-horns and pointed out
both merits and dement's.
W. A. Hoover told the boys about
swine and showed how to know them.
The talk and object lesson on sheep
was given by II. ID. Eddingfeld Of
Mt. Pleasant.
The boys were given score cards
and they were required to Judge GER
tain animals and when they gave a
per cent they were required to give
their reason for their grade.
The work of the class developed
intense interest and was declared by
those who had to do with it, to be one
of the best features of the stock de-
partment of the fair. ..s..
Effort will be put forth by the
Farm Bureau of the county to have
the contest made permanent feature
of the fair.
The age of the contestants entered
ranged from ten to eighteen years,
none above the outer limit being adj
mitted, and the fact that one of the
prize winners was only Is years old
speaks well for the interest devei-
oped.

The officer was alluding to the mi-
litary police, the organization that
keeps order in abe army. prevents
congestion on the roads and does the
work that other departments of the
army do not do. The military police
have taken an important place be-
hind the lines.
The military police is a distinct or

men from various military units. As
soon as unit arrives in France,
"the NJ. P.'s'' are organized from it
and for it. They are always known
as 'Mh p. 81 in the army.
Until he gets up to the front and
sees things, the average man does
not realize that there is as much
traffic through some battered little
town behind the lines as there is on
Broadway; New York. or Market St,

there are two streams of traffic, and
he has a double job. to prevent con-
gestion.
Usually there is an m. P." at every
cross road, to examine passes, and see
that people who do not belong near
the front never get there. When you
