\ HONOR.
Nothing matters only this:
That the fight you made was fair.
Goals of glory you may miss
Honors you may fail to wear,
But II you have done your best
You have met the real test.
Not in victory alone
Is the worth of mortals told,
God has never made 1t known
That he sent us here for gold.
We must dare for what is right
But We need not win the fight.
Nothing matters save that We
Shall not sell our souls for gain;
Shall not, for the victory
On our honor place a stain;
Better is it not to win
Than to triumph, black with sin.
Take the failure 4 you must.
Think no more about the prize,
II your battle has been just
You have conquered in His eyes.
You shall rest In peace at night
II you've made an honest fight.

The answer to the Pennsylvania
mine horror in which scores of men
lost their lives appears to be not to
load human beings and explosives on
the same train. There seems to have
been law governing the matter but
no attention was paid to it. 1t remains
to be seen whether or not those re-
sponsible for the violation of the law
will be made to pay the penalty.

American Punitive Expedition
WithdraWs From Neighboring
Republic, Purpose Achieved.
RAID IS SUCCESSFUL
Mexican Protest Plays No Part in
Ordering Return Of U. S. Forces
Five Bandits Killed and Six
Suspects Arrested.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 25.-Troops OF
che American punitive expedition,
which crossed the Mexican border six
days ago, marched out of Mexico In a
rain storm. The first of the expedi-
ton to cross the border on the re-
turn, the pack and supply train,
reached the border shortly after $3.50
at night The remainder of the exp
petition followed.
According to advices from Wash
ington, the withdrawal was entirely a
matter of military judgment and was
in no way Influenced by the protest
fled by Mexico.
Lieutenant Harold G. Peterson of
Hutchinson, Mimi, who has reached
here, reported that Jesus Renteria.
the bandit leader, was shot and killed
by Lieut.. r. Fl. Cooper when bandits
fired on Cooper's machine.
Colonel Langhorne said that the ex-
petition was considered a success
from a military standpoint. He point
ed to the killing of five bandits and
the arrest Of six other suspects by
the Americans and the captured of
nine Carranza troops at Coyame. The
immediate reason for the withdrawal.
he said, was that there was no longer
any prospect Of capturing other ban
dts and there were no more "hot
trails" to follow.
Missing Aviators Located.
Aviators George K. Rice and L. L.
Boquet, missing since early in the day,
when they left for Mexico, were To-
Gated at Teriinqua, Texas. They were
lost in the storm and made forced
landing. They will proceed to Presi-
dio. They are uninjured.
Colonel Langhorne said the Ameri-
can forces will resume their station
along the Rio Grande.
Lieutenant Harold G. Peterson, of
Hutchinson, Mimi, and Lieut.. Paul
H. Davis, Of Strathmore, Calf, the
American aviators whose capture by
bandits was the immediate cause for
sending American troops across the
line, have arrived at Royce flying
field.
Lieutenant Peterson's report that
Jesus Renteria had been killed failed
to check with reports at military
headquarters. An official army report
said Jesus Renteria was believed to
have been located 60 miles south of
Chihuahua City, where he was said to
be hiding.
Lieutenant Peterson said he re-
ceived his information that Renteria
had been killed from scouts.

The story OF the POtter-Pryor duel.
the famous challenge Of Civil war
times whereby Wisconsin congress

the affair, are now On exhibit In the

PEDIGREE is NOT ESSENTIAL
Officials Of Department Of Agriculture

Thousands Of purebred scrubs are
scattered through this country, accord
ing to hog-extension men Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, who
are devoting their efforts to elimi.
mating inferior pedigreed animals.
This. they say. applies to all kinds OF
live stock, but is perhaps more general
in the hog industry. Pedigrees are
necessary and valuable to the hog
breeder, yet the pedigree is the means
of f0oling a lot of farmers, particulars
~ those VINO are about to start into
the pure-bred hog business and who
have not had enough experience in

contented simply with pure-bred ami.

the animals they are about TO pur-
chase have good quality, say the de.

GOOD RECORDS OF PIG CLUBS
Boys and Girls improve Methods 81
Management and Increase the
Number Of Purebreds.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Members Of boys and girls pig
clubs are the pioneers in introducing
purebred pigs and improved methods
OF management in many parts Of the
South, where the swine industry Is
making unprecedented progress.
This Is true In q marked degree In
Georgia. Among the pig clubs, the
total sum represented by the hogs and
pigs In the hands Of the pig club mem
bers Of the state last year was almost
a half million dollars. The increase in
the number Of purebred pigs raised
by the club members in 1918 over 7O1?
was more than 306 ger cent. The in
crease In profits on hogs raised in 1918
over the previous year was more than
81 per cent.
Pig clubs were carried on in connec.
ton with school work in many locali-
ties. Fourteen school pigs In one
county, raised on the waste from pu-

pills. lunch baskets, sold fol $500 at an
auction sale. Twenty-Five schools In
another county raised q purebred
hogs last winter on waste from the
pupils dinner baskets. One town Of
1900 people produced $1,000 pounds
OF pork from pigs raised in back
yards. The white boys Of the same
county raised $12,34O Of meat hogs,
and the negro boys $2,134.85.
An all-cotton county reports an in
crease Of 5000 hogs in 1918. Fifty
seven pig club members in one county
raised $50 head of registered Duroc,
Jerseys. The amount invested was
$1,000. At an auction sale 80 Of the
surplus pigs were sold, and the re-
turns from the sale, together with the
value of the remaining hogs, repre-
sented $500.
Pig-club members had a prominent
part in the swine exhibits at the two
fairs held in the state and carried off
many prizes. OF the 2,1O5 hogs ex-
hibited at the Southeastern fair, 345
were owned and raised by pig-club
boys who won 81 ribbons in the open
ring. Three of the prizes were Junior
champions. OF the $50 hogs exhibited
at the state fair, 81 were owned and
raised by pig-club boys who won 80
ribbons in the open ring and $272 in
prizes. One Of the ribbons was
junior champion. With % club pigs
one county won "a ribbons and prizes
amounting to $817.50. including the
state championship.
The state pig-club champion was the
11-year-Old son Of small farmer who
bought his pig at an auction sale for
$3.50. At the end Of the contest this
hog was worth $500. In one county
six pig-club boys, who started In their
club work with one small pig each,
will start hog farms this year. Three
OF these boys already have their hogs

No Way to Beat the Game.

There is no way to dodge the high
cost of living.
Once we thought there was. It was
fine plan and we determined to try
it out. Meat was too expensive. So
we would quit eating meat.
Therefore we ordered cabbage and
asparagus and spinach and beets. Inn
mediately the price Of vegetables went
up.
We found you couldn't fool the food
man. He has a sure system. The
price is high on whatever you want to
buy. You can switch from one dish
to another as often as you choose, but
the LITTLE old price tag will beat you
to It.
