state contests were all won by Aber-
deen-Angus calves, the one at South
st. Paul going to calf fed and own
ed by girl and selling for the re-
cord price of 76 cents a pound to
Swift & Co. In the sale ring, the
Aberdeen-Angus cattle also went
ahead with tremendous strides, over
a hundred sales of cattle in the past
year averaging over $500 head on
over 4,500 head of pure-breds, or a
gain of more than $3.50 head over
last years sales averages. Not only
were there more sales and bigger
sales. but the cattle went to a much
larger territory than heretofore.
Some 35 states and provinces took
the cattle this year, while bids came
from practically every state. On
the markets, too, Aberdeen-Angus
cattle continue to set new records
and top the various markets where
ever they appear in finished form.
Regarding the outlook for the meat
industry generally, the editor of the
paper referred to in our opening
paragraph says: In time, credit will
be arranged for European countries,
and they again will be strong bidders
for the products of American farms.
Hogs may not again reach the old
level, but they will eventually bring
price which will furnish good re-
turns to producers. Ours is nation
of 110, 100000 people-most of them
meat eaters. The per capita con-
sumption of meat in the United
States and all over the world is great
er than it has ever been. With corn
at lower level, with good judgment
in the purchase of feeders and with
economy all along the line of feed
ing, there should be no question of
fair return on feeder activities.

BE THANKFUL YOU CAN SMELL
English Woman Writer Went Through
Life keenly Regretting Her Lack
Of That Sense.

Did ii ever occur to you TO be CRATE
full for the sense of smell? Probably
not, and yet those who have been de-
prived of il have felt their loss keenly.
Harriet Martineau, the famous Eng
lish writer. lacked the sense of smell
and consequently the sense Of taste,
which depends on smell. Once and
only once she tasted in all the inten-
sity of flavor a slice of leg OF NUT
ton. The sense came to her suddenly
and she thought and hoped IL had
come to stay.
II was going out to great dinner
that night" she said when telling of
her cne taste, "and / looked forward
with great eagerness to the dainties
that l knew would be set before me.
How / should enjoy practicing my new
found sense Of taste"
But. alas, the sense of taste disap-
peared as suddenly as 1t had come,
and never returned. and she went
through life remembering that taste
Of roast mutton as one of her keen
est joys.

100 PER CENT AMERICANISM

The above seems to be the slogan
of the American Legion, and public
speakers everywhere are proclaiming
the same. Realizing a sense Of
danger that awaits us as a nation un-
less our people are truly American,
/ beg to call attention to the pro-
posed amendment to be voted upon
at the April election, relative to CON-
pelling all children to attend the pub
lie schools. 1t reads: "All residents
of the State Of Michigan, between the
ages of five years and sixteen years,
shall attend the public school in their
respective districts until they have
graduated from the eighth grade,
Provided: that in districts where the
grades do not teach the eighth grade,
then all persons herein described in
such district shall complete the course
taught therein" This Amendment
is in the interest of the best brand of
Americanism. The Foreign-speak-
ing schools must go if we are TO cease
breeding hyphenated Americans.
Let everyone vote for this amend
ment. 1t is the wise, the safe, the
democratic way for every young
American to receive his patriotism and
love of country unadulterated in the
public schools. j. Jones.

REFUGE SPOTS FOR ELOPERS
Fleet Prison and Gretna Green Were
Highly Desirable Places in
the Oiden Time.

Gretna Green whose chief industry
was once nlatrimony. is a village in
Scotland less than mile from the
River Sark. which marks the English
Scottish boundary line In that vicin-
ity. near the Solway firth. Tie Eng
lish marriage laws sent eloping
couples to Scotland just as the divorce
laws of AZ of our states make Reno
desirable for would-be Divorces. and
therein lies Gretna Green's first claim
to fame
Fleet prison was the figurative
"Gretna Green" of England until the
passage of the famous Hardwicke act
OF 1854. which made unauthorized
marriages voidable. Gretna Green
thereupon becoming the romance spot
of the British isles. All the Scottish law
required was that two persons should
declare their intention to be married
In the presence of witnesses, and the
British law then, as now. recognizes
marriages rs legal so long as they con-
formed to the laws in the places where
they were performed
During the three decades when
Gretna Green flourished, there were
more than 1000 marriages recorded
there. nearly 500 of which were per-
formed in 1855. the year before Scot
land enacted law which made three
weeks residence requisite to mar
riage. Marriage by declaration is still
legal in Scotland.
