MAN WITH GREY EYE
is BEST OF SHOTS

Statistics gathered by the United
States war department show that
grey-eyed men are the best shots.
There being none of the so-called
weaker sex in the army that carried
rifles and shotguns the government
has no statistics on the Fair Dianas.
We have proof however, that a
grey-eyed woman is the best trap
shooter of her sex in America. That
woman is Mrs. c. e. Groat, of Los
Angeles, Calf. Mrs. Groat broke
1474 out of 1900 targets shot at in
tournaments registered in 1918 by
the American Thapshooting Associa-
ton. She is the only woman who
averaged better than 80 percent.
Mrs. Groat has been shooting for
five years and in that period of time
has twice won the woman trapshoot-
ing championship OF California-Veva-
da. Mrs. Adolph Topperwein, pro-
fessional, did not enter tournaments
this year.

fainter and then it became still.

STEER WEIGHS 5000 POUNDS
Is LARGEST IN WORLD

T. j. Moore of Hudson, ILL.,, is the
owner of full blood Short Horn
steer which is an interesting sight.
This steer, which is known as Big
Carley, is the largest steer in the
world and was purchased by Mr..
Moore in Eureka, Kansas in Deem
Der. One may get some idea of the
immense size of Big Carley by the
following measurements:
He stands 6 feet 3 inches high
and is IA feet and 10 inches long.
His girth is 10 feet and inches and
he measured one foot and three inch
es around the smallest part of the
front leg below the knee. 1t is four
feet around his throat. His weight
is 5000 pounds.
He was shown at the home fair in
1917 and the state fair and few
county fairs in 1918.
Mr.. Moore expects to put him on
exhibition during the year 1919,
starting about March 1, through the
southern states and bringing him
home for the fall fairs.
Since Mr.. Moore purchased him
there have been a number of visitors
at the farm to see him. In order to
look over Big Carley's back the Wis
itOr must mount three steps kept for
that purpose.

PEOPLE ENGAGED IN
MAKING OWN BREAD

The bakers over the country and in
this city report there is a slight fall
ing off of the consumption of the
bread made in their shops. During
the -four ban when the substitutes
law was in effect the conditions of
flour-buying were so onerous that not
much was bought and the people put
it up to the baker to mix the substi-
tutes and get out edible bread Now
the people IRE going back in part to
making the home baked product.
They like it better. The trade pick
ed up about SO 1-3 percent during
the war and it is calculated that this
has fallen OFF one-half since the war
ended There is less trouble and
worry about making bread out of pat
ent -four than with substitutes.

HENRY SAVAGE HERE

Mr.. Henry Savage, the local edi-
tor of the Audubon Republican, came
down Friday between trains and
made the Journal a pleasant visit.
Henry is admitted to be the best
man news gatherer in the county and
his great acquaintance makes his
questions command respect. His
tact and good looks turneth away
wrath, which sometimes exist toward
local editor who may be asking
leading questions. Mr.. Savage
worked on our force for several
months during a rush and we found
him to be honest to a fault, prudent
in business affairs, a good scholar, a
gentleman and good business getter
and full of energy.-Exira Journal.

LAST PAYMENT ON THE
FOURTH LOAN BONDS

Thursday, January Both was the
last day for making payments on
the Fourth Liberty Loan which were
purchased on partial payment plans
through banks from the government
and number of the bonds were de-
livered to their owners that week. 1t
was expected that the Fifth Liberty
loan would be launched within a
short time but the morning papers
carried stories on Thursday to the eff
feet that tentative plan was being en-
tertained of postponing the loan from
the first part of April to the latter
part of the month in order that the
same might be carried past the Len
ten season before launching.

Paris.-Damaged tanks, abandoned
by the French when the Germans
made their late spring drive, were
used as shields behind which German
machine gunners opposed the Ameri-
cons at various points between Fismes
and Scissors, according to Corp. Royal
Thurver of Reedsburg, Wis.
'They got behind these old up
turned tanks, a number of which 1

crossed the Vesle," said Thurver.
sBut, of course, it was only ques-

Thurver was shot in the chest and

FARM ARM Prosperity
IN GRAVE Danger
Hastings Declares Greater Food Pro-

Atlanta, Ga-(Special THAT thera-

Southern farm prosperity in the pres

G.. Hastings, President of both the
Georgia State Chamber of Commerce.
and the Southeastern Fair Associa~
ton.
| Mr.. Hastings repeated substantially
his statement of year ago when he
said: "Unthinking people are apt to-
attribute the present measure of farm
prosperity in the South to the high
price of cotton rather than to its reai
| cause.
"Just as soon. as peace began to APP
near probable last fall, there was a..
distinct let-up in the planting Of wheat
oats and other small grains. One
Georgia cotton farmer said to me. 'If
we are going to have peace, We are
not going to plant any wheat in my
neighborhood.'
"Of course the high price Of cot
ton has helped, but if it had not been
for the increased supply of bread
meat, vegetables, grain and forage.
made on the farms, there would haves
been little prosperity for any one but
the supply merchant. Cotton was ands

stuffs. and will continue to be fos>
years to come.
"An extra two or three million
bales in the 1919. cotton crop will
smash present attractive prices. while
the worldwide demand for bread and
meat and the disorganization Of food
production in Europe incident to the
war. means high food prices every
where for years to come;
High food prices are certainty
and low cotton prices are an equal
certainty if the food and grain acres
of 1915, 1917 and 1918 are thrown back
into cotton in 1919 Herein lies the
/: danger to our present farm prosper
ity. If we go back to our old before
the-war system of growing all cotton
and buying all food and grain, We will
get another jolt like 1914 with reas-
sonable certainty.
