HOME BOY WRITES OF TRIP TO THE INTERNA-
 TIONAL STOCK SHOW

stock judging of some of the classes of animals. This judging was carried on ever day that the show lasted. Owing to the program which had been planned we were able to attend the show only the first two days.
 Over a greater part of the livestock shown there were from the north, but what few southern animals that were there counted greatly in the judging as several of them won the Grand Championship prize. Some of the South's Grand Championship winners are the Shorthorn, Aberdeen Angus and Hereford bulls from Tennessee and Georgia. The champion Short horn COW was from Texas and Poland China SOW was from Florida. So you can easily see that the South is justly taking her place in livestock raising.
 The next day the Armour Packing Plant entertained all the club boys a and girls from the fourteen different states, by showing us through their packing plant At this plant they have something near 25,000 employees and butcher something near 30,000 cattle, sheep and hogs per day. We were also shrown through their glue and soap factory. During the day we were given two lectures, one on cutting up carcass and the other on diseases of animals. We were given three meals by this plant, one of which was wholly composed from the produtes of the factory. That night we were entertained by the Armour glee club and orchestra.
 Other important things we saw there were; Marshall Fields big store, the largest in the world, the art institute, Lincoln Park, Lake Michigan and other things too numer- ous 10 mention. It is needless to say that all these were enjoyed by me.
 This is my last year in the club work which makes my seventh year, and during this time have won sev- eral different prizes but this is one of the greatest.
 Boys and girls of Independence county this will probably be offered next year and who is going to get to go form our district? Come on and win this trip and I assure you that you will always appreciate it.

Editor The Journal.-Perhaps some of the boys and girls of the clubs would like to hear of my trip to the International Stock Show in Chi cago which was given to me and four other boys of this state by some of the business men and firms of Little Rock for winning in stock judging ip our respective counties and districts To be eligible for this trip one must belong to the pig and corn club \ very brief story of my trip follows.
 On Saturday morning at 5 o'clock November 29, another boy from the first district and myself left Jones' boro for Memphis.
 On this trip 1 beheld for the first time the Father of Waters" as Mar quette called the Mississippi river, and the saw the great tri-state city.
 We were met at the train by MT. Watson, formerly State Agent of Ark ansas, who entertained us until train time. Among the many things of i'm portance that we saw here was the first seaplane that ever crossed the Atlantic, the N. c. i.
 At eight o'clock we were joined by our state agent, Mr. Jernigan, and the three other boys from the three remaining districts. Then, we board ed a pullman for Chicago over the l. C. Railway
 We arrived in Chicago the next day at eleven o'clock, and went to the Great Northern Hotel which had been designated for us. That evening we caught street ear for the stock show grounds. Here, we were granted per mission to enter free as we were club members.
 Here l saw some of the finest stock that is raised in the United States. Different breeds and types of all ami mals except the dairy types of cattle; in all about five thousand. In fact, there were finer animals there than l had ever imagined There were also hundreds of horses of the draft type, viz: Percheons, Belgians, Clydsedale etc. Some were really pictures. We also saw the finest exhibit of the diff ferent types of grain produced in the U. S. and Canada.

Masaryk. president of the new repub-
lie CT CZecno-Slovaks. has left Prague
for Rome and according to informa-
ton today from official sources his
purpose is to confer with President
Wilson and Italian statesmen there
regarding the dispute between Italy
and the new republic Of Jugo-SlaVi1
over former Austrian Adriatic coast
now occupied by Italian forces. Some
diplomats here regard this dispute
as one of the most important gro sin ;
out OF the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of tn,
old Austro- Hungarian empire. Italy
always has regarded possession Of the
cast coast of the Adriatic by the AUS
tro- hungary as menace and it lays
claim TO the territory by virtue If tie
provisions of the treaty of London
made before it entered the war. GA
their side the Jugo-Slavs contend that
this territory rigftfully is a par. of
their new republic because of the pre-
ponderance Of Slavic peoples ac1nng
the population and that without this
outlet on the coast their new rnpub-
lie would be stlfied in infancy.
