STORY or BILLY AND BETTY
Girl Makes Wonderful Success With
Runty Pig and Boy Does Almost
Equally Well With Ewe-Necked,
FrouzIed-Lo looking Calf.

Zeb Powers thought he knew all he
wanted to know about purebredS. He
had seen reckless fellows in his sec
tion put all their money into pure
bredS, and had later attended the
sheriff's sale and seen the neglected
animals sold at farm-Cattle prices.
That was enough for him; and when
the college professor, the county
agent, the live-StOck-assOciatiOn man,
or anybody else began talking about
the advantages of better stock, Zeb
gave him a cold shoulder
But when Billy and Betty got to
reading up on what other boys and
girls were doing in the community
with corn, pigs, or calves, pop just
had to listen. He argued with them
and told about cases he had known in
which "tricksters had put purebred
stock through the ring on fake bids
to get free advertising and catch suck
erS." He had even heard old 81 SlOcum
and Uncle Peter Tumbledown make
the charge that the university fellows
were hired by slick sellers Of pure
breds to help them bunco the farm
ers.
Mother Strikes a Bargain.
Then Billy and Betty would make
further inquiries and talk it over with
mother, who perhaps was grieving
over the fact that Molly and Bob,
long dissatisfied with slovenly farm
work, had gone to town, one having
a $15-a-Week factory job and the other
driving a team for a contractor. She
had a real heart-to-heart talk with
father and finally got him to let Bill
Iy have old Brindle's calf and Betty
the runt pig out of old Spots puny
litter; and if they were silly enough
to think there was anything in all this
club stuff, maybe this would help to
get the fOolishness out of their heads"
Needless to say, Billy was the first
one up the morning after the an
nOuncement. He and Betty attended
to their new treasures long before any
of the regular chores were done. Betty
gave the old sow some nice extra feed
and got on such good terms with her
that the SOW was satisfied to let Betty
see to it that the stronger pigs in the
litter didn't lick the platter clean be-

Cedar Rapids, Oct. 23.--Frank l..
Stowe, world war veteran who has

and under seven year panitentiary
sentence, is becoming the storm cen
ter Of q bitter fight and possible e.
pose unless he is immediately sent
to the military hospital, at Knoxville
for treatment in the psycoDath'c
ward.
Information to that effect came to-
day from Congressman Harry Hull
of the Second iowa strict who has
taken up the cudgels in behalf OF
Stowe. Several days ago Judge F. F.
Dawley, after reviewing the evidence
submitted by Congressman Hull of
Stoves record and his previous
treatment in government hospitals
for dementia praecox, ordered the
veteran to Knoxville, rather than the
state reformatory at Anamosa.
Today Mr.. Hull called up to see
why Stowe had not been taken to
Knoxville. No one seemed to know. 1t
is said that government agent is
blocking the move and endeavoring
to have Stowe sent to prison, assert
ing that he Is a dangerous crook. Mr..
Hull says the records show the boy

shell shock, and gassing while in SER
