IOWA LEADS IN
HAMPSHIRE BREED
Records the Greatest Number of
Belted Pigs i'm Contest of
Score or More of States. Far
Ahead of Illinois.
SEC. STONE COMMENTS
q, ON THE CONTEST
IOM ads Score of States With
Oh Pedigrees, Showing Gain
of Nearly 1000 Over Near
est Competitor.

Iowa Hampshire breeders came
out ahead of score or more states
in the contest to record the mos;
belted pigs. The race ended July "a,
and the Hawkeye state was credited
with 9.15l pedigrees at that date.
Illinois breeders came next with a
record of 6,347, South Dakota third
with 3,S72, and Nebraska close
fourth with 1861, and Indiana
close on its heels with 3,332 Geor-
gia came sixth with 2,23S Ohio
seventh with 1890 and Missouri
eighth with 1880. The next few
states stood: Minnesota ninth, S32
pedigrees; Pennsylvania tenth, 643:
California eleventh, 500; Kansas
twelfth, 5S7; Alabama thirteenth,
557; Wisconsin fourteenth 500;
Oklahoma fifteenth, 46S.
Secretary E. C. Stone of the Am.
erican Hampshire Breeders Record
Of Peoria. ILL.,, comments on the con-
test as follows:
Iowa started out about 1000 pedi
grees in the lead and continued
about 1000 in the lead until the
close of the contest, where Iowa
shows gain of almost 1000 pedi-
Grees over and above her nearest
competitor between June 20 and
July "a, showing there is real 10y
atty among the Iowa breeders.
THE small breeder and those
making their first show this year in
Iowa have done so remarkably well
We would like to grasp each by the
hand and congratulate him and re
assure you our interest shall be for
the building up Of that new man.
Illinois has scored a sensational re-
cord, and has recorded practically
2 900 pedigrees in period of 80
days, or more than all the states put
together in the same length of time
three years ago. 1t was less than
half decade there were only 2S
breeders Of Hampshires in South
u; kota.
Nebraska passed over the top of
Indiana, while last year she was
below, and we have discovered since
Col. E. NJ. Little is fieldman in Ne
braska, there is much more possible
ty of Nebraska's immediate advance
4 tnt than we ever have seen before.
Indiana is now making arrange
ments for the employment of field
secretary, so she can very favorably
contend for future honors. Georgia
htlds the same relative position as
she did in 1919, and has just CON-
menced to progress.
During the month closing the
contest year ago there were 10
2tS pedigrees received for record
amounting to s5,124. During that
same season this year there were
9,254 pedigrees recorded at a cost
,ot $9,254, or s4,130 more recording
fees received in 1920 than there
we're in 1919"

The FAIR WAS
THE BEST EVER
Great Crowds i'm Attendance. and the
Best Program Ever Staged at
A County Fair in Iowa Was
Given
HIGH CLASS ATTRACTIONS
PLEASED EVERYBODY
Fair Association Going Ahead Right
Now Planning for Next Years
Big Show.


Friday in blaze of glory and one OF
the best fairs ever held here was put
en- during the week, and the thanks
Of everybody here is due to Secre-
taries e. ]. Curtin and R. E. Buck
nell for the fine program put on.
The crowds were larger than ever
Before, and every day was a big day.
" ednesday and Thursday broke all
records.
The program was high class all
through. AL Wilson in his sensation
al change from plane to plane high
in the air thrilled the crowd and it
was one of the best attractions ever
seen here.
The other free attractions were ex-
ceptionally good. The Ham Tree
Mule act drew all kinds of laughs
from the people and was the best
ever. The roller skaters and Japs
were also very good and entertained
Well.
One of the good attractions also
was "Rube" Liebman, who made
a.. the announcements, and if there
is any better announcer in the
country We have failed to see him.
He gives the dope out right, and
creates all kinds of fun for the
people. He was so good that the as
sLciation booked him for next year.
Walter Raub and Miss Stella Len
barr made several sensational bal
loon ascenscions the best ever seen
here. They are the best IL TIE busi-
ness and nave hundreds or admirers
here who are always glad to see
them. They never disappoint.
The horse races were the best
ever seen on the local tracks, with
the fastest line of horses. Larry
keefe, the local driver of E. J.
Curtin's string of horses won three
fast races, and another local man.
Nj I. Grattan was a winner also.
State fair races are no better than
the ones staged here.
The bowery dance was well
ratronized place every evening. and
the music furnished by Jimmy
James orchestra was the best ever
heard here.
The livestock and poultry show
irg was. the finest ever on the
grounds. The fine cattle drew bic
crowds of admirers. and it looks like
the fair has come into its own with
livestocN displays. New barns un-
doubtedly will be built to accomo-
date the stock better another year,
ard the showing will be twice as
big.
The stands all did exceptionally
well. Hamburger was popular and
the stand operated by the Congre-
gational ladies sold 1900 pounds
besides lots of other good home
cooking.
Hundreds of cases of Pop were
disposed of. Near beer was popular
AT the Helmer Indvick stand he, got
rid Of IS big barrels at five cents a
glass. Each barrel run about 225
glasses.
The expense of the fair was very
heavy this year. but it looks as
though the association will come out
on top, and we all hope so, as they
put on the best fair we ever had
and were entitled to make some
money, to pay off debts and make
improvements in the grounds. Taken
all in all it was the best fair il
years and everybody was satisfied
and boosters are at work for a big
ger and better fair in 1921.

The best breed is the Mckenzie husky. They are half wolf and half English boar hound. Baldy is a mixture of malamuUe, bird and fox hound.
 THE HUskY's STRENGTH
 Five Mckenzie huskies can pull as much as team of horses. I've seer one dog start ton on the level, and it is common for a good husky to pull half a ton. He can carry 5O- pound pack all day, and can break a half inch rope. They don't eat much. Their usual diet of fish"
 Baldy's kin are still in Europe as guests of the allies, and it is expected that some of them will oe taken on the British expedition to the Antarctic.

KETCHIKAN GRATEFUL
 TO ALASKA s. 5. co.

At a recent meeting of the ketchi- kan commercial club it passed resolu- tions expressing it's thanks to the Alaska Steamship company and the Standard Oil Company.
 The Standard Oil Company was thanked for the manner in which it had supplied southeastern Alaska with fuel oil at a time when there was 8 grave shortage in the states. The resolution called attention to the vital place which fuel oil holds in Alaska industry, and requested that the company endeavor to be as gen. erous in the future.
 E. T. Stannerd, vice president and general manager of the Alaska Steamship company, and the com pany, itself, were thanked in a res olution for the manner in which they have held space in the south bound boats from the westward for fish. When Mr. Stannerd was here recently he was informed of the diff ficulty experienced in shipping fish. He promised to reserve space for 400 cases on each westward boat south bound. Owing to a depression in the fresh fish market, space has not been used in it's entirety, but never theless the company has continued to reserve it. The space will be available as soon as the market i'm proves.

BALDY TOO OLD ANSWER CALL
 TRAIL WORK

Up in Alaska eager young mala- mutes still run the annual sweep stakes over icy steppes from the Ber- ing to the Arctic; miners crowd the roadhouses en route, and wager their thousands on the outcome, but Baldy, who for eight years led his team to victory, now deaf and going blind, lies basking in the California sunshine, spending his 14th year dreaming of the past He is outographing with his new biography of himself written by Mrs. Esther Darling, Alaska pioneer,
 So says the Seattle Star, n intro duction to a story from Berkely, California, the story of Baldy's pres. ent days-and his regrets" at being unable to take the lone :rail o1ce more with his fellows of the no:th.
 BEREKELY, Cal-Once more has come the call to action for the mala- mutes, but ''Baldy of Nome the greatest trail dog of them all is too old to respond
 "scOTTY" ALLAN, MUsHER
 "Scotty' Allan, musher, now 51, and and Baldy, IA are living quiet lives together but to them has come an appeal for dogs from the British im- perial antara ctic expedition, which is to set out for the south pole soon under the direction of the Royal Geographical society from London. John L. Cook, in charge of the ven- ture, knows that "Scotty" and "Baldy'' know as much about the ways of the Arctic circle as any two living beings, and although these two cannot go themselves, they have told the Britons where Baldy's kind are to be found, and how these doughty beasts can best be used in penetrating the white wastes where no other animal can haul white mans sleds.
 THE sKAGWAY TRAIL
 Ever since the early Klondike days when 5000 horses were lost in build ing 40 miles of trail into Lake Ben nett, the malamute has been the ex- plorer's most useful help-meet in the north. When in the great war provi- sions had to be hauled into the Vosges to the French or in the Alps to the Italian troops, the allies sent to Allan for help, and "Scotty" took 440 husk- ies "overthere," 26 of whom were sons and grandsons of Baldy.

clated .PreSS) ).-VOyaglng around the world to reach their homes, 7S0 Rus sf!lh waifs, all that have been account ed for of probably 5000 children sent out of Petrograd by their parents when revolution gripped the old Russian cap itol, are on their way from San Fran cisco to New York by way of the Pan- anna canal. They came from Vladl- vostok under the care of the American Red Cross of which they have been wards for two years. They are going back to Petrograd after suffering and wanderings that for some of them have plotted out every recollection of their parents, the places of their birth or even their own names.
 NSpeaking of the experience of the children, who range in age from 3 to 17 years, a statement by the Red Cross said:
 'The long sea journey writes the longest chapter in the history of wan erings and adventure in a revolution torn country, that can hardly be matched in the whole record of the world upheavel in the last six yers, y the announcement says. Tt seems al- most a tale out of the Old Testament or Greek mythology and thousand years from now, it is perhaps not too much to say the Russians with their dramatic instinct and mysticism will have made it a part of their rich folk lore"
 When the revolution broke out in Russia the report continued, many par ents in Petrograd decided to send the youngsters into peaceful Siberia "un- til the trouble was over" They were sent east in charge of nurses and teachers.
 Later, a barrier of fire marking the battle lines of the opposing Russian and Czech armies had been stretched between the youngsters and their for mer homes. Months passed. Winter arrived, funds were exhausted and hunger and war horrors menaced the wanderers. The Omsk government appealed to for help, passed it on to the Red Cross.
 Group after group was taken over by the Red Cross, which established colonies in western Siberia and had apparently solved the problem of car ing ,5er it's charges when the battle line swayed eastward and the Bol- shevilzi captured town after town. Groups of the children barely escaped capture Finally it was decided to take them to Vladivostok.
 Three trains of specially equipped box cars with a guard Of American doughboys transported the precious cargo on a journey lasting several weeks through country stripped en- tirely bare of provisions,' the report continued. Tt may be said that ingen- uity was taxed to the utmost in ob- taining supplies, avoiding disease ep- lidemic areas and evading other troub- les in their path
 Finally the children were settled at Russian islands in Vladivostok harbor in barracks with German and Aus trian prisoners pressed into service to do the heavy work. Schools and hospitals were established, natural tai ents were cultivated and thirteen cf the larger girls took course of train ing which fitted them as nurses. Sev- eral youngsters showed unusual abil ity at music, painting and dancing.
 The children will visit Panama Canal ports and in New York City on their way hone.
