by the extension workers Of Clemson

along with others who saw proper to
join in, to bring more pure bred hogs
into the state has progressed very
nicely. Three hundred or more hogs
are included in the first attempt These
sows have been reaching purchasers
BY express from the west for the past
week and they are still coming in.
They are being distributed among
farmer boys, members OF the Pig clubs
who agree to pay for them In cash or
in kind. and with good luck there will
be a large increase Of pure-bred hogs
in the state by next fall. Mr.. L. l.
Baker, director of the Boys Corn and
Pig clubs in the state, has given out
a list of the bankers and others who
are financing the movement for the
purchase Of pigs. The York county

The new rule of the war depart
nent under which it proposes to an
nuunce the names of killed ana
wounded without giving addresses or
names Of nearest relatives, is coming
in for considerable criticism. Ii is
pointed out that since there are many
soldiers of the same name, hailins
from widely separated localities. such
Il policy might often cause misery ana
distress IN more families than one. In
fact this very thing occurred one day
last week. when an Ohio woman
learned that Il soldier who had been
reported killed VAS not her son: but
the son of Il Montana woman. Both
had exactly the same name. The
reason assigned for Withholding ad-
dresses is to keep important informa-
ton from the enemy.

being brought to bear upon congress
for legislation against the dogs OF the
country. Western sheep men are be-
hind the movement They say there
are 10.000. 900 dogs In the country and
they estimate that these dogs kill and
eat a million sheep. They argue also
that the dogs consume much food that
might otherwise be used to help win
the war. The proposition Is to levy a
tax OF IS on male dogs and SO on fe-
male dogs, and turn the money over
to the government for the purpose OF
enforcing the law. The claim Ii that
state and county governments cannot
enforce dog laws for the reason that
local people will not proceed against
the dogs Of neIghbors and friends.

blood mounted to the Irishman's face
and he got ready to tell that foreigner
what he thought of him, and then he
bethought himself. And then he said
something like this: well! it is a
mighty good thing for you that joined
the Holy Name last month or I'd tell
you where you got off," The foreigner
was so surprised that he was quite
taken aback. Just then policeman
came around the corner and insisted
on having the traffic opened and all
was we'll. A welldressed man stand
ing beside me said: "Now, what do
you think of that? l wonder where"
he added, as the car moved on and the
motorman could presumably not hear
us, IL wonder where these priests get
the influence they have over the men?"
I said gently in return: I'm the older
days the good Protestant ministers
used to say it was priestcraft." "Well,"
he said, Il do not know what sort of
craft it is, but l wish that the minis
tiers had some Of the same sort of

it was not the priest at all, but that
it was the men themselves, organized
together with a beautiful idea to in

Mr.. Farrell-No. Mr.. Justice Wylie-

did not. The Master of the Rolls, in
an application by the C. d. B. for
an injunction to restrain Denis Healy,
Bodyke, Co. Clare, from depasturing
cattle on the lands of Coolraigmore,
said this was really vendor and

an injunction exparte. He suggested
that notice be served on the defend

stating that her father had left her
