Dock Your Pigs Tail
And Save Money

Sioux City, April 26.-How much
does it cost to grow a pigs tail? This
iquestion is being debated by Sioux
City stockmen. whose curiosity was
aroused when Charles Corner of
Platte, s. d., sold W carloads of
t~ailless hogs here eu
The hogs sold for 5000. Stockmen
said their tails had been locked when
born, and that Corner had followed
this practice Is years.
Some thought the docking was for
identification, while others thought it
improved their looks.
1t remained for a South Dakota
shipper. who has been docking the
tails of his hogs, to shed light on the
subject by saying 1t was done for econ
omy.
ut takes a half bushel of corn to
grow a pigs tail from infancy to ma
turity,' he said. "a half bushel of
corn is worth rs cents. When you
have 200 hogs this G a saving
of $156. With $4,000. 900 hogs in Iowa
this would mean a saving of s10,9s2,-

Joe Kirby, of Sioux Falls, counsel

FORMER VAUDEVILLE
STAR PLAYS IN RAY

Leon Coleman, the well-krown au-
thor of the Hawaiian guitar method
bearing his n&me, arrived in Ray
Tuesday, to pay a business call.
Mr.. Coleman, who was formerly a
vaudeville performer on the Hawaiian
guitar. spent his leisure moments en-
tertaining a large and appreciative au-
dience at the dormitory and the Choco-
late Shop. His handling of the steel
shows a complete mastery of this
method of playing the guitar. He
played practically all Of the native Ha-
waiian songs, made famous on the
phonograph records, as well as com
positions of his own, and arrangements
OF ragtime fer the instrument. In
addition to playing the "steel" guitar,
as it has been called, Mr.. Coleman
is also an expert ukulele and tarpatch
fiddle player, and his solos and un-
usual strokes on the latter instruments
were thoroughly enjoyed and appre-
ciated by his audience.

TROY TUNNEL WITHIN ONE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY FEET Of THE ORE

Re-opening of the Pratt tunnel at
the Troy Arizona property has prog
ressed to within 100 feet of the ore
body, which it is planned to tap, and
work of driving through the remaining
distance will probably be under way
in the near future.
A new tunnel will be driven from
the point now reached, according 20
Manager John c. Devine of the Troy
Arizona "The old tunnel is badly
caved in spots" said Mr. Devine this
week, ''and owing to the large amount
of timbering that would be necessary
an attempt to reopen the old work
ings from the point we have now
reached to the ore body would not be
practicable. I am planning to drive
a new tunnel for the remaining dis
tance of $50 feet to reach the ore
body, and while l cannot say how
soon this will be undertaken, it will
probably not be long delayed"
The fact that the old tunnel was
driven by power drills resulted in a
breaking up of the formation to such
an extent that the rocks caved read
lily, leaving the old tunnel in bad
shape. 1t is the plan of Mr. Deyi1e
to drive the new tunnel by hand, as
this method can be used to greater
advantage in the formation encoun-
tered, and will require less timbering
than were the old workings to be
re-opened
Operators at the property by leas
ers, who recently uncovered a body of
ten per cent ore on the Rather vein,
continue to go forward.

heavy odds, but his hackers maintain

Red" Morris who has lately re,
entered the badger arena as a pro
moter, is authority for the statement
that the next contest will be one Of
unusual interest. The badger, which
has been secured in the foothills near
Superior is said to be weighing 35
lbs, and will show the effects of the
vigorous training to which he has been
subjected by Bill Commons, the prom
inent local sporting man.
Local interest centers upon the

cumstances above described 1t is
understood that permission to stage
the event will be forthcoming.

HOME OIL COMPANY
SEEKS LIQUID GOLD

Realizing that a great fortune awaits
those who would go after it, group
of prominent Superior men recently
organized to drill for oil in the Texas
fields.
The Cactus Oil Company is a
local organization, whose personnel in
cludes professional mining men and
business men who are not averse to
taking chance in the hope of making
good. Tom Dunlap, who is acting as
representative for the organization
visited the entire field, and was for.
tunate enough to secure some leases
on very attractive property in Co
manche and Wichita counties. TheiI
close proximity to the famous Duke
and Knowles wells is considerably in
favor of the organization, who plan,
however, to drill first on their Iowa
Park tract, where oil sands are en-
countered at a depth of approximately
$50 feet,
With the organization we'll under
way, important developments may be
expected shortly. A number of prom

RAY CON CLUBS
REDPATH MUSICALE
SCORES BIG HIT

The Plymouth Singers of the Red
path Lyceum Bureau, provided mu
sicale for the Ray Con club merSers
that was in keeping with the high
standard Of excellence maintained by
the Redpath Bureau on Monday even
ing.
The clubhouse which had been
thrown open to club members and
their friends, was crowded beyond its
capacity. At least 400 Rayites en-
joyed the excellent performance.
The program printed below was one
Of the most satisfying to music lovers
that has ever been presented in Ray.
The members of the organization, all
exceptional singers, were in good
voice, and the exquisite blending of
their voices was the subject of great
deal Of favorable comment after the
performance. It is not often that Ray
has a chance to hear music of the
type provided by the Plymouth Sing
ers and the audiences cordial recep-
tion Of the performance proved their
hearty appreciation.
The opening number was con
densed light opera, in which the matri-
monial difficulties of the baehful Cap
tain John Smith were sung in. a
charmingly humorous manner This
was followed by piano solo by Miss
Thelma Marty "In the Woods" (Staub)
which made such a decided hit with
the audience that Miss Marty was
compelled to play Grieg's "Asa's
Death" as an encore.
One Of the most striking features of
the evening was the collection of n
dian songs, sung by Mrs. Fuson in
costume. In an announcement to the
audience, Mr.. Fuson stated that the
real Indian was a far more musically
inclined person than one would be led
to believe, after listening to the In
dian compositions" of ragtime writ
ers. The songs, which had been COT
lected by Thurlow Lieurance, a gov
ernment authority on Indian song,
proved Mr. Fuson's contention in no
unmistakable manner. Mrs. Fuson's
rendition of the songs was nothing
short Of remarkable. Her rich con-
tralto and distinct enunciation added
to the striking lyrical quality of the
music.
The trio from Attila (VerdD, was
also very well received. This was fol-
lowed by Thomas Fuson in the Ballar-
ia from Rigoletto, sung in italian. Mr.
Fusons rendition was cordially ap-
plaudcd
A quartette arrangement Of the
hymn Lead Kindly Light, by Buck,
sung unaccompanied, was the next
feature. This arrangement is one that
serves to bring the utmost harmony
into the wonderful old hymn, and the
Quartette's execution was perfect.
They followed with "Now the Day is
Over, another beautiful arrangement,
particularly rich in harmony.
Dorothy Rust Hemenway, lyric
soprano, sang Woodman's "a Birth
day" in so pleasing a manner that she
was compelled to follow it with the
well-k known composition '<The Cuckoo.
Camp meeting songs, in true dark
