individual in the best possible form,
and to keep 1t SO.
Weeks or even months in advance Of
the fair the boy must start getting his
calf or pig tame. At a particular time
it may be necessary to pare the pigs
toenails SO that he will stand up
straight without too much bend at the
pasterns. But he must be careful not
to pare them too close. A limping pig
is not likely to be prize winner. Sew
eral weeks before the fair he should
trim the hair out of the pigs ears, be-
the ears will not be irregular in out
line. He should provide a clean wal
low for the pig to keep the hair and
skin soft and pliable-and he ought
to know the trick of the trade that
little oil on the surface of the water
helps great deal; also that little
linseed meal, properly fed to the pig,
puts peculiar gloss on the hair.
He must remember to have the right
kind of crate ready In plenty of time.
Many boys have failed to get their
pigs to the fair because, when the time
came to ship, there was no crate. The
department has special sets of specifi-
cations for pig crates, calf crates and
others. A very important thing to re-
member in connection with the crate
is that the pig grows at pretty rapid
clip. The crate must be built big
enough for the pig, not when the crate
lis made but allowing for growth be-
| tween then and fair time. And it
must not be big enough to permit the
pig to turn around. The boy must re-
member that the pig should not be fed
| just before shipping. No matter how
much the little rascal cries for corn
he must not be INDUCED: If he is fed
he Is very likely to get sick on the
| train and go through the whole fair
in a droopy. drowsy unprizelike-look-
ing way.
| Prizes Are Not All.
/ These are just few of the things
that must be remembered in preparing
| pig for the fair. And there are
| equally many With regard to the calf,
or the dairy COW, or the poultry, or
any of the things, practically, that the
boy or girl, man or woman wants to
| exhibit at the fair.
Even with all the care possible the
animal or other product may not be a
prize winner. There can't be prizes
for every exhibitor. The fair that tries
to arrange things so that everybody
can get prize does not amount to
much usually. 1t does not mean any
thing to win prize when you are the
only exhibitor in your class. And, as
the experts in the department of agri-
culture point out, the prize is not the
main thing after all. To be sure the
boys and girls and men and women
who get things ready for the fair are
contributing to an education for the
public-but the main thing for them
is the education they get themselves.
.'Take part in the contest" say the
experts. "for your own sake. You will
have better pig, better calf, bet.
ter pound of butter, a better can OF
peaches next year by reason of having
exhibited this year, whether you win
or not. And, with proper attention to
: preparation, the prizes are sure tc
come. too, sooner or LATER"

Tn. sm.,, Town Girl and they. W.


The boys are coming home. Ths
khaki IL turning into blue serge and
the little town settles down into the
regular routine Of little-hOwn life.
But the little town girl, whose every
thought has been Of big things. for
the last two or three years, who has
thrown herself into Red Cross work,
Liberty Loan drives. who has done all
kinds of things to release men for the
army-what Of her? She has become
citizen Of the world must she go
back to the small town interests of
ante-bellum days? Must the end Of the
tumult and the shouting bring her 4
dead CHINA vacuum? Must she be-
come an unhappy, restless member of
her community? Not II new interests
can be given her. And that is what
the Young Women's Christian AssOcia-
tion tries to do and In which 1t needs
the cooperation Of the community.
The interests OF the Y. w. c. A. are
the interests OF girls and young wOm-
en- all over the world: and some OF
that breadth communicates itself to To-
cal groups. At the Y. w. C. A. center
girl may study stenOgraphy and tit
herself for business she may study
French, thus fitting herself for the
wider citizenship that Is coming TO all
the world She may attend the most
popular classes OF all. the domestic sci
ence classes and learn to. cook rs well
almost mother. to sew. to can
vegetables and fruits-in short to fit
herself for the life that every girl
hopes to lead, that of wife and mother.
She may come to the gymnasium and
develop physically along some partic-
ular line or just keep her health up to
the mark.
II her community u thoughtful in
itS financial provisions. she may learn
to swim, to play basketball and tennis
and hockey and thus become robust
in these days of little exercise. She
may attend cafeteria and enjoy
good meal at minimum price. She
may attend Bible>classes.
The Y. w. c.. A. holds out Its hands
to every girl in the land. anxious to
give her chance in any direction that
may be particularly attractive to her,
to fill her life with whatever will be
most helpful to her, her family and her
town. All three of these must coop
crate with the Association, must bring
financial assistance and sympathy to
make possible the things which will
enrich the life of the small.town girl,
when the captains and the kings de-
part from the world-stage.

Shall We Have = County Soldiers
Memorial and Whit VIII Il Be!

At meeting of the Gunnison
County Chamber of Commerce held
February Ia, a motion was unani-
mously adopted to the effect that:
eve unGualifiedly favor suitable
memorial for the soldiers. sailors, and
airmen who have fought in the World
War from Gunnison County"
A committee was then appointed
to secure expressions from the people
of the county as to the nature of
such memorial, its cost and the
best method of raising the funds.
Saturday, at the mid-winter bust
ness meeting of the Gunnison County
Stock Growers Association, a similar
resolution was unanimously passed
heartily endorsing, the same move
ment.
In response to this demand. your
committee appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce requests suggestions
and opinions concerning such me-
mortal.
Of what nature shall it be and
where located? Almost every county
or city in the United States is taking
up a similar idea. Plans differ widely.
Some favor the old plan of a monu-
ment or statue at some street in
tsrsection or park. Others favor the
Qed1catlOn OF library, VI a puDiiC
building. Denver is discussing a well
come arch of magnificent design. Pu
eblo people, after long discussion,
have adopted pipe organ in the new
city hall. These are but few of the
plans proposed.
Whatever memorial is adopted will
be inscribed first with the names of
our bows who have fallen in the fight
and in addition with all names of
Gunnison men enrolled to serve.
Through the newspapers, or by let
ter, our citizens are requested to sug
gest suitable memorials, and plans
for raising the necessary money. At
ter receiving these ideas the commit
tee will present them to the Chamber
of Commerce or some other body in
authority for further recommends
