That is the cry, the battle cry,
of sheep raising members of the
Mercer County Crop Improvement
association, led by P. S. Richey,
county agriculturalist.
Today there was a car partially
loaded at Joy, supervised by the
county agent Thursday a car will
be shipped from Burgess, while OF
Friday the car from Joy will be
filled at Viola. Saturday the Bur-
CESS car will be loaded up at
Alexis.
More than passing interest is
being displayed by Mercer county
farmers in the farm tour as stag
ed two years ago, when about $50
farmers went to Champaign by
special train and visited various
model farms and heard instructive
lectures by university professors
on subjects vital to the farm and
farm work. County Agent Richey
is heartily in favor of the plan
and is making arrangements to
hold the feature during the last
week in Jure. From the sentiment
throughout the county there is lit
tie doubt but what enough farm
ers will be secured for the trip to
obtain a special train.

Office During Recent Absence
From City.

Thomas A. Fender, general yard
master of the Rock Island lines,
has been elevated to the office of
grand president of the Yardmas-
ters' Association of the United
State.
He has just returned from a
trip made to leading cities in the
middle west in furtherance of his
duties as grand vice president of
the association. Upon his return he
made no mention to his friends OF
the fact that he had been elevated
to the office of grand president, this
information having come through
railroad men last night.
In the association of which he is
now the executive head, there are
yardmasters not only of the United
States but Canada as well The ex-
>Gcutiye officers are in Columbus, D..
His elevation came through a
vacancy which occurred through
resignation. The executive commit
tee at a meeting in Columbus filled
the vanacy.
Mr.. Fender said last night that
he said nothing of his advance, be-
cause he had planned to hold the
office temporarily only, until July,
when the annual meeting of the
association takes place. He said
that in fulfilling the duties of the
office, he would be taken away from
home continually and that he really
felt he did not have the time to
give to it, although 1t commands =

His French mistress called him
+Chien Loup" and his new Yankee
master chopped of the 'tChien's
making it plain "Loup" That is,
"Loup" is his common everyday
name, but a more fancy cognomen
has been selected by ,his master
for show purposes. 1t is ''Argone"
in memory of the famous battle ir
which American troops played
such an important and heroic part.
'Loup" will not respond to any
but French commands. 1t is in this
language that he receives his or
ders to sit up and box, shake hands,
jump through looped arms and per-
form divers other tricks. II is
when this tongue is spoken that
he will raise his sharp ears to the
"alert" and fix his intelligent
eyes intently on the speaker. He
never displays temper but that he
will resent mistreatment was
shown by an incident during en-
barkation of the battery for the
states. A COB, seeing the great
beast, pulled his tail. "Loup'
turned quickly and without a sound
sank his fangs in the sailors leg.
Thereafter on the trip homeward
he was given wide berth by the
mariners.
Owned By Battery B Officer.
"Loup" is owned by Captain n.
A. Torson, formerly of Moorehead,
Mimi, but now OF Chicago, and who
joined Battery B shortly after its
arrival in France. Captain Torson

crippled French maid for 200
francs or about $35. Experts in the
United States have appraised the
beast at no less than $500, with the
possibility that he can be groomed
to bring a higher price.
MademoSelle ,AntoAnette Marcel
was "Loup's" French mistress and
her home was Stenay, Luxembourg
on the Belgium-German border.
Early in the war she was taken
prisoner by the Huns and forced to
work in the fields. Because she re-
fused to accede to the pleasure of
Prussian officers the cords of her
wrists were cut and the cords of
her heels also slashed, being nearly
completely severed. She was
crippled for life and could but
barely manage to walk.
In her pitiful condition she was
existing as best she could when the
Americans came. Then, because
she was in dire need, she disposed
of "Loup," who was readily
adopted by Battery B men.

Aledo, Ill, June 11.-An army
feud, brought into civil life, was

when two returned soldiers of Bat
terry B clashed in the lobby of the
Merchants hotel
The principals were John L. Nc
Cav, formerly a private, and Lin
coin Bradley of Sterling, an ex-top
sergeant. McCaw bore Bradley a
grudge because of alleged mis-
treatment while in the service in
France and swore that once back
in civil life the matter would be
settled as man to man. Bradley
was warned never to visit Aledo.
Forgetting or deliberately uE-
needing the warning, Bradley last
night arrived in this city. He was
Immediately sought out by McCaw,
who proceeded TO administer a
thorough beating, the meeting and
encounter taking place in the lob
by of the Merchants hotel. where

for increased water pressure in the

The business men will be represented
at the conference by Robert y.

tional Bank: Frank Hight of the Will
lard Hotel and William \. Carlin of
the Harrington Hotel.
commissioner KutZ has had J. 5.
Garland, superintendent of the water
department. investigate the water
pressure situation in the business
section, and probably he will tell of
his findings at the conference.
In making the request for confer
ence .he business men pointed out
that at present the gravity pressure
in the business area south of II street
is only sufficient to force the water to
the high stores, hotels and office build
iugs. This makes IL necessary for
these high buildings to install pumps
in the cellars and force the water into
tanks on the roofs. from which it is
distributed to the floors not reached
by the gravity pressure III the street
mains.
The business men are endeavoring to
find out from the District heads if
this downtown area could be con-
nected with the city pumping station
as a means of increasing the pres
sure.

c streets. left the downtown section
of the city without current
The Star. in common with other
downtown Office buildings. was de-
prived of power for its elevators and
current for its light, typesetting
machines. presses, etc. by the fire.
The paper was delayed in going to
press until The Stars own power
plant was put in operation.
Dense Clouds of Smoke.
There were practically no flames
but dense columns of smoke rolled out
of dozen manholes around the out
side of the building as the insula tions
on the underground cables burned.
While firenen were still at work en-
tinguishing the flames the company
hurriedly summoned crews of work
men from other substations and held
them ready to go to work restoring
service as soon as it is possible for
them to go down into the manholes.
AS the smoke poured out of the
openings before the arrival of the
tiremer it seemed from a distance
that the building itself, which houses
huge dynamos and other costly ma
chinery. was ablaze. The alarm was
sounded from the quarters of truck
company No. ). which is only a block
from the power plant. AS soon as the
first engines arrived two additional
truck companies were summoned.
