No man should be allowed to pre-
side under an elective judiciary who
is that vain that be likes the fiatter-
ing sound off the words or phrase
His honor Ia fact we doubt if
but few appreciate 1t specially any
longer but Its custom of the courts
which still asserts itself and can on
" be abolished by statute and the
voluntarily cooperation of all con-
cerned for about decade or so. when
it will have been forgotten and shed
off as is the word Lord" before
mayors of our countlv while in Lon
don they still say Lord Mayor and
if we mistake not also in that country
say Lord Chief Justice etc. Let
us quit it. 1t has too much of a
sound aud smacking of royalty out of
place in America which is gong to
war to down autocracy forever more,
and banishing it ovei here in full in
all such appelations should have a
tendency to help free our Canadian
and English cousins of that weakness
and time bound habit.

One of those unfortunate things that

is reported by the Hicksville Tribune,
which relates rather disconcerting

Pigs make pork from left-overs and
what might be wasted, when they are
handled properly. Learn to make
pork for next winter through proper
feeding. etc.
A part of the plan for Iron county
food production is to have enough
pigs grown In Iron county so that
every family may have at least one for
family use next winter. Details OF
the plan for securing these pigs will
be made known later. But In general,
they will be contracted for and deliv-
cred to purchasers at cost, collections
to be made through your local organ
izations and banks.
Only a limited number will be given
TO any person or family. The num-
Der depends upon facilities for feeding
and handling. Every family keeping
COW can raise a pig. Members OF
boys and girls clubs can secure pigs
by application to their local leaders
or the county agent. Pig clubs can
be formed in any school district by
complying with the regulations and
instructions from the county agents
office. Instructions and suggestions
on handling pigs will be furnished to
every one securing pigs In order that
they may get all help possible in pro-
ducing the maximum amount OF pork
by October /, 1918.
Blanks for making applications for
pigs may be had at the county agents
office. These must be in his hands not
later than March 80. 1918, so thai
contracts for pigs can be closed and
car load shipments made up.
We want every man, woman ant
child who has opportunity to keep
pig and raise pork for their family
or neighbor, to place their ordei
early, as late orders may not be filled
Hogs are scarce.
Not all can keep pigs. All farmers
can add a couple to their farm thiI
