First National Bank of Luverne
Is Encouraging Livestock
Breeding

The First National bank of Luverne
is conducting the only pure bred calf
contest in the state, in the attempt to
make Rock county one of the best
livestock centers in Minnesota, as
regards beef cattle.
The bank financed the shipping to
Luverne of forty six head of register
ed calves, which were distributed to
the boys and girls in the county.
Thirty four of the calves were dis
tributed to thirty -four different
families, twenty nine of whom did not
have registered stock of the breed
selected, which means the establishing
of new herd of registered cattle on
those farms.
The First National bank of Luverne
furnished $4,000 to finance this
scheme. All calves will be exhibited
at the county fair. M. E. Teeter,
county agent of Rock county, who was
in the city today, was enthusiastic
over the plan, which he says is an
excellent one for any county, and only
needs good financial backing.

Meredith Griffith Reached Man
kato After His Service In
France

Meredith Griffith, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. /. N. Griffith, arrived home yes
terday from overseas. He was a
member of Battery E, Fifty seventh
artillery, Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook
which sailed for France for overseas
service, May 10, 1918, on the Ruyn-
dam, landing at Brest. After a short
stay here they proceeded to Southern
France, detraining at Libourne near
Bordeaux for training and equipment.
Here they received their ordnance
consisting of 4-155 "Grande Porte Fill
loux" guns per battery, or total of
twenty -four guns, also two machine
guns per battery for protection
against enemy planes. The regiment
was rushed up to the front to take
part in the st. Mihiel drive, and from
there to the Argonne- Meuse front and
took a position near Montzeville, do
ing very effective work on the great
drive which began on the night of
September 1926.
After the breaking of the old Hin
denburg lire the regiment moved for
ward occupying different positions,
such as Esnes Chill 304) Cuisy, Mont
faucon, and Romagne. When at the
latter position, the second phase of
the Argonne- Meuse drive occurred on
November 1, 1918. From then on the
regiment became widely separated
due to the rapidity of the advance
ending uD with Battery B overlooking
Stenay, Batteries G and D close be-
hind, Battery A at Nouart, and Bat
teries e. and F at Romagne.
The regiment sailed from Brest,
France, on the U. s. S. Hunt
ington, (the same cruiser that con-
voyed them overseas), January 2, 1919,
arriving at the port of New York,
January IA. The regiment being COM
posed mostly of New York men, and
being the first contingent of New
York men to arrive home, they were
given an ovation at that port.

GIRLS like FARM work.
MAIDENS WILL NOT DISCARD
BREECHES ENTIRELY
One Of Them Writes That the

London, January. 18.-(By MaiL]-
Breaches are not going to be discard
ed entirely by all British girls who
get into them to do war work.
That lightning transformation from
boots and pants to crepe de, chine
that was predicted with the signing
of the armistice isn't going to occur
At least it won't be wholesale.
Hundreds of the girl war workers,
especially the land girls. have decid
ed to go right or in the vocations
they adopted as an emergency. Some
were London society girls. They
plan to stay right on the farms. They
refuse to give up their breeches. For
them the fashionable civies, soft
and clingy" represent only idleness,
they say. Breeches, boots and smock
stand for real usefulness iE life. They
like the farms and they're going to
stay there, reserving the crepe de
chine for after "office hours"
One such land girl wrote friend:

life. But something is lacking. Some
thing is calling me back to the green

as good as my plain thick sand

LENT ON MARcH 5.

LENT ON MARCH ..
March 5. Ash Wednesday, is the
first day of Lent Forty days of
quietness. and for many people. for
ty days of fasting and abstaining
from the usual pleasures of society,
will be followed by the great feast Of
Easter, after which the world will
continue on it's usual merry round
of gayety regardless of sadness and
sorrow. Lent is the annual season of
fasting in the spring, observed by
many churches as preparation for
the feast of Easter. and a time of
special penitence. named lent, be-
cause in the spring the days begin to
lengthen. In the western churches,
since the early Middle Ages, the dur
alton of Lent has been fixed at forty
days, the forty week days preceding
Easter, the first being Ash Wednes-
day. The six Sundays occurring in
this period are excluded from Lent
fer the reason that Sunday is al
ways a feast, and hence are called
Sundays in, not of, Lent.
