The double-barred Red Cross is the
worldwide emblem of the worldwide

over tuberculosis camps in all the al.

from being gassed, from the flu and
from other experiences during the war.
In October, 1902, the International
Anti-Tuberculosis Association adopted

Before Americans entraenc in t, the war we were all more or
 ess effected by the conditions that existed in Europe. When the United States become directly involved by the formal deelara. tion, "that a state of war existed already" the interest of the peo- pie was very much increased. So great has been the strain of the months that followed and to such an extent was our enthusi- asm aroused that with the ap- proach of peace there is danger that the reaction from this over worked patriotism may be seri' ous. Of course we hail peace with joy and we are glad to get away from all things pertaining to war. We should not forget, however, that there are yet men in the service who are perform ing a service much more severe on the morale than the dark days If the war. While there was fighting to be done the soldier had enough to keep his spirits up but now that the job Is done we can think of nothing that is harder on a fighting man than to be held in the service after he has accomblished that which he set out to do So keep the home fires burning until the last has returned.

STATEMENT OF THREE co. OPERATIVE SHIPMENTS OF
 HOGS,

By w. B. Pace County Agent. It is gratifying to note that the farmers of Drew county have lined up with the most progress i've farmers of the South in the shipment of hogs to the St Louis market. This work was started by Mir. T. R. Reid last fall, but on account of his leaving to take work in Little Rock the ship ment was delayed The first car was shipped out from Monticello the first of February, and since that time we have shipped two more. This has proven to be the most satisfactory method of sell ing hogs. The following state meut will give some idea about the work:
 Number of cars shipped sin ce February 1st, 3.
 Total number of farmers cooperating, 46.
 Total number of hogs shipped $50.
 Average weight of hogs ship ped 124 pounds.
 Total number of pounds ship ped. 43640.
 Average price paid gross per 100 pounds. $13.10. Average price paid above ex- penses. $12 10.
 Total amount paid 46 farmers above expenses of shipping $50 hogs $52S4 67.
 These hogs were of all grades. We shipped some of the very poorest hogs that could be fouud. and some of the best. Oonse. quently we had quite variation in prices, as each hog sold on it's own merits. The price varied from 6c to l6.25c per pound.
 Some of the lessons learned from this are: It pays to grow good hogs and fatten them be. fore putt ing them on the mar. ket. Hogs fattened on corn. or sweet potatoes, or soy beans and velvet beans, sell two to three cents per pound higher than soft hogs Ear mark ed hogs sell at least one cent lower than they would if not marked. Hogs that show good blood and breeding sell higher than "razorbacksn even if they have been fed the same and fattened the same. We have market for all the hogs

From it, earllesL days Montl- cello has always given most free ly of it's citiz 'nship to all good causes. Daring the Civil war, whi.e in its inttncy, NDntleello sent a generous number of her sons to iafen the States. In the late war our proud little city was not foun 1 wanting in the giving of her share indefense of her coun try. This was all good enough but sti fact re nlins that dur ing the years os5ween the Civil and W lrt l VI u ,ntcallo had still bsen giving of it's popula- ion to oaiil up other towns.

that the county can grow any day in the year.
 If the farmers of Drew county will grow better hogs, and plenty of corn, sweet potatoes, soy beans, velvet beans and COW peas to fatten them, they could cut the cotten acreage half in two and make more money; and at the same time make their soil more productive. Grow better hogs and more feed for them.

"Well-here I am" said a voice so

"Of course you didn't. Then Dolly

said the little girl.

THE FAIRY WITH THE PAPER
CAP

Dolly" said Billy one morning, do
you want to help me in the garden
for little while? Maybe you will
see one of those Fairies you are al
ways talking about.
"0h, I'd love to-" said Dolly. What
are you going to do?" Dolly was al
ways eager to have a part In the work
of the United States School Garden
army.
"Come along and I'll show you,"
said her brother. So they went out
into the garden in the fresh morning
air. Billy carried some little paper
pots and he let Dolly carry some too.
The pots had tiny plants in hem.
II am going to transplant these
he said, "just as the United States
School Garden Army directions say.
What does that mean?' asked Dol
ly, who wanted every new word ex-
planned. think that is a very good
thing don't you?
"It means that I plant the seeds in
these little pots and then transplant
Or plant hetm again-in the gar
den,' said Billy who always liked to
tell Dolly about things. He didn't
say as some brothers do, ooh, you're
only girl-you couldn't understand. ;"
So he and Dolly carried out the
funny little paper boxes. Billy had
some rows Of ground already pre-
pared for the pots. He had dug the
ground up and loosened it until it was
soft enough for young plants, He
heed the ground up into rows. Then
lie made holes large enough for the
tpos. Then he planted the pots, be-
ing careful to knock off the bottoms.
Now he said, ct think that ought
to do"
do what?" asked Dolly.
"You just watch and see,' said her
brother. ,"And If you see Dewdrop
Fairy on one of those little seedlings
maybe he will tell you all you want to
know"
Billy went into the house to get
ready for school and Dolly stood IN
the Garden, hoping a Fairy would
soon come and tell her about the
plants in the paper pots.

REPEAL AN UNJUST LAW
(Leslie's Weekly

One Of the best acts of the present
Congress will be to do away with the
zone system which imposes eight sep
arate postal rates upon newspapers
and periodicals. It will then follow In
the steps Of Lincoln, who abolished
the system many years ago, and be
in line with Mr.. Wilson's condemna-
lions Of It when governor of New Jer-
sey, and the conclusion Of Mr.. Hughes
when he made the postal investigation
for Congress.
Senator Smoot presented the situa.
ton in concrete form recently when
no said: ~ feel mortified that from
my own state a magazine can DO sent
TO the furthest end Of India for less
money than 1t can be sent from any
state to an adjoining state" No 9TH
err country has o law SO illogical and
unjust. The Senate revenue bill pro-
vided for fiat increase Of 80 per
cent. in the sccond-class rate this
being three times the rate in Canada,
but even this high rate, which would
have applied to every publication sent
through the mails, whatever the dis.
lance, was rejected by Representative
Kitchin, who was obsessed with the
idea that newspapers and magazines
must be punished.
Extravagant statements have been
made as to the cost Of second clasf
matter to the postoffice department
the figures ranging from thirty to
eighty millions Of dollars. The
strange situation is that there is nc
agreement in the department itself as
to the actual transportation most
