Poland China pig for which he paid
$3.50. This pig was fed and shown
at the Idaho state fair at Boise this
year. There it won first prize for the
champion pig over all club contestants
in the state which entitled him TO the
$1T5 free trip to the International
Live Stock Show. 1t next won the
award of first place In the open class
for Poland China sows under six
months of age, in which competition
he defeated the swine breeders of the
whole state of Idaho.
William Stuart's father is not
breeder of purebred hogs, but simply
raises a good grade of Poland China
pigs for the market. Therefore this
by William in the
feeding and developing of this prize
pig represents what club work is do

The fact that banks throughout the

work speaks well for the good which
it is accomplishing.

Italy Pays America
100000 Per Day

thinking Italians anxious, especially
since Food Controller Soleri has an
nounced that The country must pay
America no less than $1,000,000 a
day for bread, which is sold to the
public at lower price than in any
other country.
Signor Gayada, an Italian newspa-

the European ftnanciers who gathered
at the Brussels financial conference,
asking how they accounted for the
lira's constant slump. Almost like
one man they gave three reasons.
The first is the political price" of
bread. 1t costs the Italian govern
ment six millions a year; foreign
financiers will not give italy credit,
in the experts opinion, while this
absurd state of things lasts; Italy
must sell bread at cost or continue
to suffer from lack of credit. Bread
the only cheap food in Italy, is given
to cattle, horses and pigs--those an
imals are fed with loaves that cost
almost their weight in gold Experts
told Signor Gayda that if Italian
cattle were not given this dear bread

NEW YORK.-A cargo rivaling
Noah's has arrived here on the
American freighter Be1lbuckle from
New South Wales. There were 400
specimens of animals, birds and rep
tiles, all consigned to the Bronx Zoo.
According to Captain N. A Swan
son, 1t was no quiet voyage despite
fairly good weather; and when his
ship tied up at Fifty-seventh street,
Brooklyn, he was glad to get away
from the din under the decks last
ing f1ftyfive days and to enjoy the
boiler-making quiet of the water
front.
There was some confusion over the
ships manifest, as when the jour
ney started there were only $500
specimens on board. Family in
creases ran far ahead of demises.
1t was some job to keep the census,
all hands declared.
All the animals were captured by
Ellis s. Josephs, an Australian BUSH
man. He had many of them sub
dued, but three emus ate up their
cage and Quantity of galley cut
lery and glassware before their ap-
petites were appeased sufficiently to
enable the seamen to shoe them back
to quarters.
Inc bellDuCkle stopped at Colon,
the Canal Zone, and four Tasmanian
devils apparently decided all hands
and feet might like to bound ashore.
They got loose and opened the cages
of several other animals, but were
detected before they had gone far
and put in solitary confinement.
Josephs, who acted as ships sur
geon on the trip, said the kaola eats
only the leaves of the eucalyptus tree
and ton of the leaves was brought
along to feed the one kaola bound for
the zoo. The kaola is the first one
