Visiting Ministers Here.

Rev. D.. VI. Davies of Evanston, who
was recently elected superintendent of
home missions for the Synod of Wyo-
ming, and Rev. G.. f. Parisoe of Lara
mic, well known as Red Cross director
for this state, who is chairman of
home missions for the Laramie Pres
bytery, were in Saratoga Monday and
Tuesday investigating the needs of
the local church. They conducted sew
eral conferences with the officers of
the church and held many personal in
teryiews relative to the religious needs
of the community.
AS Il result of this thorough investi-
CATION, their conclusion was to the eff
feet that the maintenance of regular
services was universally desired and
even a temporary suspension of them
that for the best interest of all parties
concerned, especially the lambs of the
flock" these means were indispensa-
BILE, and that a special effort should be
, put forth to launch the proposition on
a more solid basis thror Oh the ice
agement of a more hearty coo iation
in the work of the church, through
more regular attendance at the SER
vices, as well as through financial as
sistance, which is by no means the
greatest need in scarcely commu-
nifty in western Wyoming.
1t should be noted that the board
of home missions in New York, which
receives contributions from s~elf-sup-
porting churches, largely in the east,
and from individuals, gives literally to
the assistance of churches unable to be
self-supporting." Wyoming receives
$4,000 annually from various Presby-
terrain boards, and from this amount
Saratoga has received $3.50 per annum
for a long time. Surely such generous
treatment from the board deserves To-
cal recognition to at least an equivalent
amount. In order to carry out the
above purpose, Superintendent Davies
will return here on Monday, January
IA, and will speak at the church in the
evening at 1880 on the theme, THE

ming Wool Growers Association is now

the largest in the history of the asso-
citation, all counies of the state being
well represented and representatives of
stock yards companies and other stock
interests from Denver, Omaha, Kansas
City, Chicago and other outside points
being in attendance. Many notable
speakers are on the programs.

READY FOR BIG SHOW.
Saturday, Jan. 10, Will Witness Open.
ing Of Big Livestock Exposition
at Colorado Metropolis.

The Twelfth Annual National West.
ern Stock Show will open in Denver
m Saturday, January 10th, and will
continue until the following Saturday.
The entries already indicate that this
will be by far the greatest livestock
exposition ever held in the west. Ev-
cry department Of the show is crowd
ed TO capacity and Denver is preparing
for the largest crowd 1t has ever taken
care of.
The show this year is Of more than
usual Importance, owing to the war sit
uatiun, and a great many matters in re-
lation to the rather confused condition
of the markets at the present time will
be discussed and settled at the various
meetings that will be held throughout
stock show week.
The show itself will have all of the
old features, bigger and better than
ever, according to the management, and
also many new ones. Western railroads
are making special rates for thu week
and, as a matter of business, no stock
man or farmer can hardly afford to
stay away.
Herbert Hoover, the national food
administrator, has announced that he
will be in Denver to attend the show,
and plans are being made for some i'm
portant conferences between Mr.. Hoo
yer and representative western stock
men. 1t is hoped that these confer
ences will lead to a more thorough I'M
derstanding Of the situation and the de-
velopment Of plans that will result in
a large increase in livestock produc-
ton throughout the west.
1t has been difficult for the stock
farmers Of the west to thoroughly un-
derstand the situation brought on by
the great There has been a fear
that the government might interfere
with prices in such a way as to make
it impossible for the stockgrower to
make a profit on his business. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Hoover will explain
the situation and point out where there
is absolutely no danger of western
stockmen suffering losses because of
increased production.

LAND APPRAISER HERE.
Representative Of Federal Land Bank
Of Omaha Inspecting Lands and
Loans in This Vicinity.

James McKittrick Of Omaha, a rep
resentHtive of the Federal Land Bank
of that city, has spent the past week in
the vicinity OF Saratoga, inspecting
lands upon which federal loans have
been applied for, and giving his APP
proval or disapproval to the many mp
plications which have been made since
the organization Of the local associa-
ton.
The Saratoga National Farm Loan
Association was formed last summer
with l.. ID. Peck as president and Fred
b.. Durrie as secretary and treasurer.
and applications have been filed with
the local board for loans amounting
in the aggregate to about $4,000. Ow-
ing to the great demand for the serv-
ices of the governments appraisers in
all parts of the country, there has been
considerable delay in getting around
to this section Of the country, but the
business will be thoroughly cleaned up
by MIR McKittrick during his stay here
and h approved applications will be
acted upon without delay.
The federal land loans are in great
demand throughout the country and
Saratoga is fortunate in having bust
ness men who are endeavoring to aid
the neighboring farmers and ranchmen
by assisting them to procure cheap
money.

Cashier.

According to DR.. S. F. Price, there
is at present more sickness of various
sorts in the community than ever be-
fore at this season of the year. 1t is
probable that the cold wave of the past
few days will do much to put a check
upon the epidemic of bronchial troubles
which has prevailed in this section
during the past few weeks.

HOSEA BARGER.
Barger is dead.

Barger is dead.
In the life Of Newberry, and CT the
State and nation, this announcement
will cause no ripple upon the surface
OF events.
But it is well, occasionally, to hark
back to the times which made this
State what it is, and preserved it as 1t
was made.
When the call came in the sixties,
Barger, giving himself, went into the
service of the South, and the manner
in which he fought,and how he served
is a matter of historic record. He
proved himself a patriot, and, fighting
Cor what he believed to, be right,
man without fear.
Coming back from the fields where
the musketry and shrapnel moved
down the ranks, where the blood of
the dead and the wounded sancti6ed
the soil, he devoted himself, as best
he. could. to his humble part in the
work of rebuilding the lost fortunes
OF a people.
He needs no eulogy. In the great
sepulchre where all men are equal,
except as their real merit places them
above their fellow, his statue in re-
pose is that of a man. A Confederate
soldier, who was unassuming, and Of
whom his comrades said that he was
brave; a laborer, who worked for his
own living. and asked no odds OF any
man, except that he be given the right,
decreed by the Master, to earn MS
livelihood; always courteous; always
gentlemanly; always honest and sim
cere; always true to his friends.
and always, under the most difficult
circumstances, putting up brave
front-this was Barger-Uncle Hosea,
as We used to call him.
Those who knew him best know
that in the days to come-tne last
days, when men shall pass in final
judgment, and all petty distinctions
are dissolved in the white light of the
glance of the Great Judge, and merit
counts, and self-sacrifce is held at its
true worth, and hard work, in the face
of almost superhuman obstacles.
is recognized-we know that he will
have his reward.
Our remembrance of his courage
ana loyalty shall be the simple wreath
which we would lay upon his grave.

COTTAGE CHEESE
FOR MEATLESS DAYS

The United Sites Food Adlninistra-
ton is urging that meats be conserv-
ed. The University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture suggests that
farmers are overlooking a possible
source of income in the manufacture
of cottage cheese. Folks who are OBJ
serving meatless days will lind cot
tage cheese a valuable meat substi-
tute. Cottage cheese contains more
protein than beef, lamb chops, HAM
bacon, or Goldfish. With the exception
Of Goldfish it does not contain so much
fat, but it compares favorably in ash
or mineral content with the other
foods. ...
Cottage cheese is made from skim
med milk, 100 pounds of which will
make at least 15 pounds of cottage
cheese. The cheese should retail al
10 cents pound at least. This would
give the farmer $3.50 for SKINNED
milk and would pay him for his time
and labor. There should be a gooG
demand for cottage cheese among the
city folks. Farmers who have plen.
ty of SKINNED milk could easily builc
up a profitable business by advertis
ing their cottage cheese in local pa
perS.

FLOWING CONTROLS
STRAWBERRY LEAF ROLLER

The strawberry leaf roller takes its
toll of strawberry plants every year.
The increased acreage and the length
of time which Strawberries have been
grown in different sections have con-
tributed to the increase Of this insect.
Consequently, the damage which it
inficts has been increased in recent
years.
Control measures depend largely
upon spraying during the growing
season. However, fall and winter
blowing will lessen the damage to
some extent and make more effective
the control measures practiced in sam
mer, says T. J. Talbert of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture. Flowing the old Improbable
strawberry fields in the fall or winter
will bury the strawberry leaf roller
in the worm or resting stage. They
are protected from freezing by dead
leaves, trash and litter of the old
strawberry field.

Can you tell when cloth is all wool
or cotton or linen or silk? Textiles
have been so cleverly adulterated
that the adulteration can hardly be
detected. Simple directions for test
ing textiles are given in Extension
Circular Al, Principles of Sewing, of
the University Of Missouri College of

tains other valuable suggestions.
Choosing textiles, alteration of pat
terms, methods of measuring, construc-
ton of garments, cutting, stitches
hens, seams, packets, the sewing
room, and patches are some of the
subjects discussed. This circular will
make valuable text for sewing clubs
and it will be useful as a reference
to women who do their own sewing.

ALFALFA CROP 500 PER ACRE

That alfalfa is a profitable crop on
Missouri land, and that the State
government, as well as private citi-
zens, is profiting by that fact is ev-
ident from the experience of the Mis-
souri, State Prison Board on the pen
itentiary farm this year. Twenty
acres Of alfalfa has been cut four
times, producing one and one-half
tons per cutting, or five tons per
acre, and at 500 per ton averaging
$1OO per acre for the 1917 crop. That
hay is now worth $50 per ton. This
alfalfa hay is being fed to the peni-
Tertiary dairy cows. j.
Other instances of Missouri land
producing around or over 500 per
acre from alfalfa are found through.
out the State this year, and the in
crease in acreage has broken all rec
ords, even in the face of the unprec-
edented area of food crops. Since
March, 1917, the acreage Of alfalfa
has been increased 81 per cent, show
ing that the Missouri farmer is going
stronger and stronger for the won
