The Winneshiek County Pig Club

Fen Bear. director of the club has
made a final report and closed up
the books. The report in detail of

this money is made plain in the, re-
port by Mr.. Bear in this issue.
The giving of the hogs by the
farmers of this county, and the
shipping of them, and getting the
huge sum of money for them, was
certainly a wonderful thing and re-
Elected great credit on the people of
Winneshiek. The report speaks for
itself and gives every detail of the
transaction, and all interested should

MEN FORM COM
PANY.
Iowa Publishers Form Company to
Buy Paper Direct From Mills.

Ames, Ia.-Newspaper publishers
of Iowa will in the next few months
go into the business of buying their
own newsprint paper in an effort
to cut down the prevailing cost Of
paper in half.
This action was taken by the edi-
tors and publishers attending the
fourth annual country newspaper
short course. conducted by the de
partment of agricultural Journalism
at Iowa State college, July and 9.
They took preliminary steps for the
formation of a corporation to be
known as the Iowa Press Co opera
tive association which will be capital
lied at $4,000.
The plan for the association was
presented by G. l.. Caswell, field sec
rotary of the Iowa Press association.
Besides the capital stock, which it is
planned to hold intact, editors who
purchase paper thru the association
will deposit certified checks in their
local banks to cover the cost of the
paper that they order. The capital
and certified checks will furnish the
representative of the association with
capital with which to purchase paper
directly from the mills.
The association will become opera
tive when half of the 200 shares of
stock have been sold. At Fridays
meeting practically every one of the
fifty editors and publishers present
signed for shares and a large num-
Ter of others have indicated that
they would become stockholders.
The high cost of print paper has
seriously threatened many Iowa pa
pers. Publishers have had to pay
anywhere from 10 to Is cents a
pound for paper that cost 2 or 3
cents few years ago. The mill price
OF paper is at the present time only
about. 5 to cents.
Paper will be bought by the as
scciation in carload lots and ship
ped directly from the mills to dis
tributing points in the state. From
here it will be forwarded to the in
dividual purchasers. Iowa, 1T is thot
is the first state in the country to
take steps in this new phase of CO.
operation.

Wasn't Worth the Price.

Jefferson, IA young couple
from Boone came over here to have
the knot tied by the Rev. Mr.. Wills
of this city. When the license was
produced it was found to be Boone
county license, and the parson told
them that he could not perform the
cermony with those papers, but that
the young man could get a new Ii
cense at the court house here. The
young man said it wasn't worth it TO
get two licenses and the bride to be
agreed with him; so they left the
city united.

DOG TRAVELS FROM CANADA.
Not As Fast as a Carrier Pigeon
But He Walked to Iowa.

Perry, Ia.-Jack Porter, of Grang-
err, has hound dog which has the
carrier pigeon instinct to the ninth
degree. He cannot travel quite as
fast but his methods are Just as
sure and his recent record is one
which the entire dog world has never
equalled.
Porter lives at hotel at Granger.
He had no particular use for the
dog and when some friends of his
moved to Canada few weeks ago
he placed the dog in box car and
skipped him north, believing he
would be of more use on a farm
than following him around at his
work in Granger.
The dog made the trip to Canada
alright but did not take kindly to
his new home. He missed the Iowa
corn fields and the scraps thrown to
him by the hotel man in Granger.
Soon after his arrival in Canada
he disappeared and nothing was
heard of him until several weeks
later when the hotel keeper opened
his place of business one morning
last week.
There was the dog, rather lank
from his long journey and hall
starved but exceedingly glad to gel
back home.
The story sounds big, but the dog
is at Granger as proof of its truth
fulness and Porter has decided to
keep him as long as he lives.

Dog HlahIy Priced in Alaska.

Nowhere in the world has the dog
such unrestricted right of way as in
Alaska. In wiLter. when more than
100000 square miles of territory are
sealed up in solid ice. dogs are almost
the sole means of getting from place
to place-in fact, they seem necessary
to life. The aristOcrats Of Arctic dog

tion of the interest rate in this way

The main thing to be considered
to help the situation as il exists.

the government to remove some OF

effect of lessening the interest rate
