a special cash prize to the boy or girl

shown at the Brookings county fair
next fall, as they rc.-!iZe the import
ance OF developing a whole litter.
Especial importance should be placed
upon good litter of ten or eleven,
rather than just one or two pigs, even
though they are Of show ring type,
as primarily all are in the hog bust
ness to raise pork and fill the most
barrels. and the association agrees
there is nothing equal to big litter
OF Durocs to do that.

and shows. They hold also the worlds
record for prices, $32 100000 being paid
for Jackson's Iron King, the Interna-
tional grand champion in 1918.

of building a new sale pavilion or re-

year 1920 their slogan is, Seven Du-

STATE OF TRADE

The condition Of trade throughout the

most year-long complaint. Strikes and
strikers break all records despite the
highest wage levels. Speculation ram
pant; checked by higher money. Few

RESERVATION on MONROE
DOCTRINE IS ADOPTED
Beckham and Fourteen Other
Democrats Vote With
Republicans

Washington, March Two more
Republican reservations to the
peace treaty, affecting the bitterly
debated Monroe Doctrin and deci-
sion over domestic questions under
the league were re-adopted in the
senate without change, by greater
majorities than last November.
The Monroe Doctrine reservation
said to be as Objectionable to Presi-
dent Wilson as that relating to Art
icle X, passed 5S to %. II got the
support of fifteen Democrats, seven
more than supported 1t last Novem-
Der.
The other reservation, which as
serts full jurisdiction for the United
States over purely domestic ques-
lions, was adopted Sc to 20, with
fourteen Democrats swinging over to
the Republicans a gain of three
Dmocrats since November.
Little debate attended the SEN
ate's action, all elements apparent
ly conceding the roll calls merely
formalities to let everyone go on
record once more before the final
deadlock, which is now generally ex-
pected to put the treaty over into
the political campaign.
On the Monroe Doctrine reserva-
ton, Senator Beckham, Democrat,
of Kentucky, who voted against the
adoption in November, swung over
to the Republicans today.
Before the final roll call there
was a long wrangle over the ques-
ton whether commerce should be
included among the subjects specifi-
cally enumerated in the reservation
as excluded from the leagues juris-
diction. Declaring inclusion of this
word as it stands in the Republican
draft would mean a declaration that !
foreign as we'll as domestic COM
merce could not be dealt with but |
the league, Senator Fletcher, Demo-
crat, Florida, moved to strike it out |
but he was voted down A to "a.
A warning that the Fletcher
was a part of a plan
to defeat the reservation entirely"
was given by - s,r Lenroot, Re-
publican, Wise. "a, who said Sena-
tor Hitchcock. hoped after securing
such a modification, to get a maiori-
ty with the help of the irreconia-
bles on this side OF the aisle against
any reservation at all.

WILSON OUT FOR FIRST
TINE SINCE LAST OCTOBER

Washington, March President
Wilson went for a motor ride Tues
day, leaving the Whitehouse
grounds for the first time since he
was ordered to bed last October by
Rear Admiral Grayson, his physi-
clan, "a very sick man."
The President was accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, DR.. Grayson and
Secret Service men and took a spin
around the speedway" along the
Potomac. A closed car was used
and the party left through the south
west gates.
Photographers who had waited
several weeks for the Presidents
temperance in public were prohibit
ed by the police from taking photo
graphs.
Almost ideal weather prevailed
for the Presidents ride, the day be-
ing as balmy as one in late spring
with only a gentle wind stirring.
The car was kept closed throughout
the trin however. The President
sat in the rear seat with Mrs. Will
son and kept his cap in his hand
most of the time.
Waves to Borah
From the speedway" the Presi-
dent drove back into the city and
down Pennsylvania Avenue around
the Capitol and thence to the White
House. He was out a little more
than an hour and appeared to have
enjoyed his outing.
Going through the Capitol
grounds the President passed Sena-
tor Borah of Idaho and recognition
was simultaneous, both waving their
hands and smiling. Throughout
the trip, DR.. Grayson said. the
President was delighted and remark
ed that he felt like he had been
away from Washington for a long
time.
Passing the vicinity of a market
house, the President, who delights
always in reading signs when he is
motoring. saw large sign quoting
pork at 35 cents pound. Although
he has given much serious considera
ton to the high cost of living, the
President remarked to Mrs. Wilson,
That brings it home to you when
you SEGA big sign like that"
During the drive the President
passed many groups of people who
recognized him and he smiled his
acknowledgment OF their greeting.
Quite often women who recognized
him waved to him.

10 out today was made by Admiral
Grayson early this morning. Yester-
day the President, anticipating
good day today, suggested that he
would like to 60 riding and when
he renewed the suggestion today DR..
Grayson acquiesced. The Presidents
closed car and Secret Service ma
chine drew up to the south entrance
of the White House at about IL o.
clock. A few moments later the
President, accompanied by Mrs. Will
SON and DR.. Grayson, came out from
under the callonade. The President
walked to the car with the aid of
his cane, DIR. Grayson was at his
side and held lightly to the Presi-
dents arm. The President was as
sisted in the car by DR.. Grayson and
Mrs. Wilson. He wore his old gray
sweater under a medium-weight ov-
srcoat.
After passing the Capitol the
President returned to the White
House via the Union Station and
Massachusetts, Avenue.
DIR. Grayson said that the Presi-
dent had been much benefited by
his trip and that an examination OF
his blood pressure on his return
showed 1t to be quite normal.
The President, DR.. Grayson said.
probably will not go out driving ev-
cry day for a time. Today's trip
was In the nature of diversion and
future outings will be regulated by
the weather. There will be no set
schedule.

THE DAYS WORK
Edgar A. Guest)

Edgar A. Guest)
Is anybody happier because you
passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you
spoke to him today?
This day is almost over and its toll
ing time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now a
kindly word of you?
bid you give a cheerful greeting to
the friend who came along,
Or a churlish sort of "howdy" and
then vanish in the throng?
Were you selfish, pure and simple,
as you rushed along the way,
Or is S omeone mighty grateful for a
deed you did today?
- ~ ssess
Can you say tonight in parting with
the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped single brother of
the many that you passed
Is a single heart rejoicing over
what you did or said?
Does a man whose hopes were fad
ing now with courage look
ahead?
Did you waste the day or lose it,
was it we'll or poorly spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness or
scarce of discomfort?
As you close your eyes in slumber do
you think that God would say
You have earned one more to-mor-
row by the work you did to-
day?-Ex.
