County Superintendent Endorses Hot

In recent letter from Mr.. Boerger
he makes the following statemsn..
Il have read with much satisfac-
tion that you are making efforts to-
ward hot lunches for the children in
the rural schools. This movement
has an appreciable number of sup
porters in the county, among the par
ents as well as among the teachers
and in all the schools in which hot
lunches have been served, the prac-
tice has given great satisfaction.
We have at the present time perhaps
twenty-five to thirty schools in which
hot lunches are served, and both
pupils and teachers are loud in their
praises of it."

Frank o. Lowden, war governor of
Illinois, a recognized presidential
possibility and an ardent champion
of the live stock industry, charter
member of the International Live
Stock Exposition and actually engag-
ed in the campaign for the improve
ment of American live stock, COM.
menting on the present and prospec-
tive status of the industry, remarked:
Twenty years ago when the
first International Live Stock EXPOSE
tion was held at Chicago the institu-
tion was no more essential than at
this moment. During that two
decade period the industry has been
through period of evolution; each
season has developed new production
problems, both in the spheres OF
breeding and finishing. Foreign
competition, especially in the case OF
beef, has become of serious I'm
port, rendering maximum results inn
perative. A brief era OF free grass
and cheap grain has passed into the
historical stage; making gains with
cattle, hogs or sheep has enhanced
in until even with the new scale of
! values the industry ca nbe profitably
maintained only by intelligent meth
DDS, and the lessons annually taught
at Chicago during the first week in
December therefore possess added
import.
eth, problem confronting the
American live stock grower at this
iuncture combines economical feed
ing with improved breeding; there
fore. the rev departure providing for
a comprehensive display of such
such grains and grass products as
are essential to the manufacture OF
beef, pork and mutton on the farm
is timely innovation. The Inter
national" has kept pace with every
mutation of the industry during its
twenty years of educational effort
and in the hands of the puollc-splrlted
men who chart its course, will con-
tinue to discharge that function.
'We have emerged from the per1o1
Of waste to one of highly intensified
systematic production in which only
the fittest can survive il financial re-
salts is to be the objective. Feed IS
more than ever a factcr OF primary
importance to the live stock grower
and the new department of the IT
ternaSional will rank with the estao-
Iished features of the institution in
commanding public interest"
