PURE BLOOD HOL-
 STEMS FOR THE STATE
 AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.

The Agricultural School has bought two pure bred Holstein cows and one pure bred bull from the University of Ark ansas. This is a part of the fine dairy herd of forty-five cows. These cattle were bought at a sale held at the University at which twenty-three were sold. The bull cost $500 and one COW cost $350.00 and the other cost $340.00. These cows are from the highest bred Hol- stein cows that are in the ad- vanced registry. The cattle will be here some time next week. They will form the foundation herd for a fine herd of Holstein cows at the School. The cows will be placed on official test and If they pass the test they will be placed on the advanced regis try of the Holstein breed.
 The foundation herd of pure bred Jerseys that the school purchased from Michigan in June will arrive in October.
 The two herd will give the school fine start in high class dairy cattle. AS they already have 26 milk COWS and 10 calves the total stock will be 43 head.
 This herd is composed of one bull and three heifers. They are of the blue blood of the Jersey breed. They are Royal Majesty stock and they come from line of prize winners. The dam of the bull gave in one year on off, cial tests 598 pounds of butter. The dam of one of the heifers gave 698 pounds of butter in one year. These calves cost $500.

B. Y. P. U. TRIBUTE.

On last Sunday evening when we gathered at the church, for our Young People Union and as our eyes beheld the ones gather ed there, we missed one familiar face, that of Mary Pyron. As the realization came to us that on the previous Saturday the Death Angel had come to her as she lay on a bed in a Little Rock hospital and as, we realiz- ed that never again would we see her in our meetings and that never again would she stand before LIS as our leader, an in- expressible feeling of sadness came over us, In the weakness of our humanity we wondered why Mary was taken when she was so young and just in the flower of young womanhood and just when she was developing such a sweet Christian char acter, but then we remembered that precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. Mary was one of our most faithful, willing and efficient members.
 Therefore be it resolved by our B. Y. P. U.
 First-Fhat we as Union and as Individuals, deeply de- plore her death and that we shall miss her splendid work, her presence and her influence
 Second-That we carry on the work that she was anxious to do and that we snail profit by her example
 Third-That we extend our sympathy to the sorrowing mother and sisters
 Fourth-That a copy of these resolutions be put on our minutes and also sent te the town papers.
 Respectfully and lovingly submitted by the committee.

ISTOR RE4N PLANT EEC TO BE REM
 DURSED.

During the late conflict with Germany the United States Depart.nent of Agriculture to- cether with certain public spirited citizens induced a num- Ter of farmers to plant castor Beans. These beans were to be .used for the production of oil for government use.
 For some reason unknown to the writer, the castor beans were not q success. Consequently the public spirited planters who had attempted to grow the cas- tor bean lost money by their Patriotism.
 Uncle Sam, however, appreci-
 ted the cooperation of these men loo much to permit them to loose by their efforts to serve hin in his hour of need.
 Tie County Agent, MT. w. B.
 ece, is in receipt of a letter frDm Mr. T. o. Branch of Little Mock in which he stated that hese men, by filling out a claim sheet, can be reimbursed for hcir loss.
 There are Q number of farm CTS in this county to whom this would apply. The report must he submitted to Washington by Jnly 18th. It is, therefore, inn peratiye that the claims be turn ca into tha county agents office npt later than Wednesday of next week.

JAGGERS-WHITE

Last Sunday evening Dr. Daph- ne E. White and Miss Mary Linn Jaggers were married at the home of the officiating min ister, Doctor Flournoy Shopper son.
 Dr. White, the third son of Sheriff and Mrs. John w. White, had just received his degree in medicine at Vanderbilt. While student in this institution he made quite a splendid reputation, having won several honofs, a. mong which was the founders medal for the best average for the four year course.
 The bride is the attractive daughter of MT. and Mrs. A. B. Jaggers. She is one of Mon ticello's most popular young ladies.
 Although both parties are young their friendship is of long standing. The romance that re- suited in their marriage was be- gun in their early school days.
 Dr. White left immediately after the ceremony for Peugh- keepsie, New York to serve an internship in Vassar Hospital. Mrs. White will remain with her parents in this city for a few days before joining her husband.
 Both of these young people have many life long friends who will extend their best wishes for a long life we'll filled with success and happiness.

SKIN DISEASE ON
YOUNG PIGS.

A reader has pigs which atout three weeks after wean- ing developed some skin disease, which he described as follows: They are nearly covered with large lunjs that resemble warts, but become sore and bleed when rubbed by the pig. The pigs have access to clover at all times and the mother is all light.
 A Some what similar skin troub-
 might arise from local irrita- pn or infection, sucn as mud, Net clover. rape. etc. It is pos 1ble that the wet clover in EEMich the pigs run, OF the mud, Fl some other local irritant is Responsible for this trouble. If s the pigs should have these @nditions removed. Then they nAould be washed with tar soap 1hd some good disinfectant, say 0he part of some one of the many coal tar disinfectant on
 e market to 30 or 10 parts Water. The next day it will be feund advisable to grease these pgs with carbolized oil, one part I'll carbolic acid to p parts of eme non-irritating oil.
 So-ealled "nettle rash" may . so be produced by certain Hnds of feeds, particularly, it b claimed, by ieguminous feed efops. It may, of course, ac- pmpany certain specific or in- 1&ctious diseases, like cholera,
 t we assume this is not the G4use of the trouble in this case, pecause nothing is said about these pigs being sick and the Mother is stated to be all right.
 It is possible that a condition Somewhat resembling this de- Rription might arise from the Presence of skin parasites. but bis is not probable. As a rule, 6pe3 troubles when not due to cholera may be quickly correct
 by q change of feed, dry clean @arters, and through disinfec- Ion and greaslng.

\ LIVING MONUMENT TO
 CUR DEAD HERDS


 Memorials in cold stone wlrh their allegorical figures are not enough to pefpetuate the mem- ory of our dead who lie in France. At least that is the belief of the citizens of Clarin- da, Iowa, who on Memorial Day contributed a fund toward q living monument. Twenty-QQe French war orphans make up that living monument, one fath- erless child for every Clarinda boy who gave his life for the cause of humanity. The public spirited men and women of that town will care for these little French orphans with this fund, paying for their support through the American branch of The Fatherless Children of France, an organization coop erating with a similar one which Marshal Joffre is head, to care for the little French children, left fatherless through the hav- oc of war.
 There are 60,000 French War orphans still unplaced on the American organization. Three dollars month, or ten cents a day, will support one of these children. The Clarinda citizens have paid for each child adopt ed" S36.50 for a years support, with the intention of repeating the sum annually until the child is capable of caring for itself. This small sum supplements an equal amount paid annually by the French Government to each war orphan and tiny though 1t is, provides for the child's sup port.
 In it's reconstruction work, France has wisely centered it's greatest efforts on the care of it's war orphans, and "The Fatherless Children of France" recognizing that these little vic tins of the war should be the wards of a world made safe through their fathers sacrifice, undertook, early in the war, to furnish god-mothers and god fathers for these children--A- merican godparents who would contribute ten cents a day to- ward their support that they might remain with their moth CTS instead of being placed in institutions, and who would, be- sides this write to the little ones to whom they had become ben efactors. Donati0ns of any sum from a dime Gone days sup port) to $3.00 Ga months sup port) are solicited, as well as these ten-cents-a-day adoptions the pledges of $36.50 a year. A yearly pledge enables one to select as ones prqtege a special boy or girl from the organiza- tion's lists of children. Mrs. Walter $. Brewster of Chicago has been appointed chairman of a special campaign to secure these ten-cents-a-day adoptions and is making an earnest appeal from the campaign office, Room 635, 40 $.

FREIGHT RATE SITUATION

As was stated in the last issue of The Monticellonian, the Chamber of Commerce is making a fight for cheaper freight rates. To the Chamber of Commerce it did not seem exactly fair that freight should be more from New Orleans to Monticello than from New Orleans to St. Paul, Minn. Upon this injustice this public spirited organization founded it's fight. All that has been asked is for the freight to be put on a milage basis.
 We can not say that the pros poets of obtaining this is alto gether promising, at least for the immediate present. Sec. Williamson is in receipt of the following letter from Represent ative Henderson NJ. Jacoway, Monticello Chamber
 of Commerce,
 Monticello, Arkansas.
 Dear Sirs:

MORE HOG MONEY FOR ARKANSAS WHEN MEAT
 IS NOT SOFT OR OILY.

Upon the recent Arkansas Profitable Farming Tour it's members found that hogs from this state would bring a much better price if the hogs are hard and in first class shape.
 In a letter to Secretary Will Hanson, Mir. H. II. Swift goes on to say: Arkansas has feed and climate to produce first class hard hogs but caution should be taken against produc- ing soft oily hogs. Swift's Digester Tankage, high protein, concentrated feed for hogs can be used to great ad- vantage in producing profitable hard hogs. Fed in connection with Arkansas feeds, it will cheapen cost of pork production at least twenty-five per cent"
 In the same connection he gives Il arguments from the Packers standpoint against soft and oily hogs.
 l. Owing to lack of frmness and attractiveness soft and oily earcasses cannot be exported to foreign countries as it would be impossible to land them in foreign markets in attractive condition.
 Z. This means their sale and distribution must be confined to southern markets, which cannot long continue to take all the hogs produced in the central south.
 3. When not given a hard finish with corn, barley or other hardening feed southern hogs are usually shipped as light weights, which means larger of hogs to make up a carload with q much heavier shrink in ship ment than would be shown by a load of heavy hogs. This means greater loss all along the line.
 i. Soft and oily hogs do not stand shipment so well as hard hogs. They usually reach mar ket in less attractive condition, therefore they sell for lower prices.
 5. Carcass yeild of soft and oily hogs is less pound for pound of live weight than hard hogs.
 6, Hams. bacon and all pork cuts from soft and oily hogs show an uusually heavy shrink in curing-another item of heavy loss to the Packer.
 '. Soft and oily carcases do not chill properly in the cooler. They never become firm enough to permit cutting into econom- ical shapely cuts so necessary to present an attractive appear ance to the retailer and con- sumer. They show a very heavy waste in retail cutting.
 $, At ordinary storage tenn peratures it is impossible to pre- vent hams, bacon and standard cuts of soft and oily hogs from continuing to drip oil, which means additional shrink and loss of food value at every stage in handling. This continuous shrink soon results in the meat presenting a worn and stale ap- pearance, which greatly dis counts it's attractiveness to the consumer and decreases it's sell ing value.
 9. Hams and bacon from soft and oily hogs show an ex- cessive waste in cooking and are therefore very expensive to the consumer, Consumers soon dis cover this and in their buying discriminate against them.
 10. Soft oily lard is very diff ficult to handle commercially without the addition of hard eneng materials. This means that good pure prime steam lard cannot be produced and sold from soft oily hogs.
 Il. The trimmings from soft oily hogs are very unde- slrable for sausage making, in fact, it is absolutely impossible to use them in highgrade saul sage sold under nationally ad-

SURPLUS OF LABORERS
DURING PAST WEEK
MEN COMING FROM MONTANA AND
FROM FOREST FIRES FLOOD
LOCAL LABOR MARKET

Although the government, for lack
of funds, is not at the present time
maintaining any employment agency
here, If. Parsons, formerly exam
iner for the federal service, is con-
tinuing to act without salary when
ever he can render labor or employ
a great shortage in. farm labor, but
at the present time there is a sur
plus and all farmers who need as
sistance report that they have plenty
of men to finish threshing. During
the past few days a good many labor
ers have been drifting in here
from Montana and from the forest
fires. Many fire fighters have quit
their jobs and have come to Moscow
to look for other work. These men
represent the restless and unstable
element in labor always more or less
IN evidence at this season of the year.
There is a great shortage of wom-
en- for all kinds of domestic work Many
homes in Moscow are without cooks or
maids for general housework. Ex-
cellent wages are offered and no ap-
plicants appear for the jobs. Women
who care to go out to work by the
hour can get all kinds of employment
at thirty, thirty-five and even forty
cents an hour Any women who wants
work should apply to Mr.. Parsons or
watch the numerous advertisements in
the want columns of The Star-Mirror.
