DOCTOR CATO SELLS.

"We have recently seen Cato Sells
Commissioner of Indian affairs, our
distinguished former citizen, made a
doctor of laws at Cornell College
Iowa's noted Methodist educational
institution and we now learn that that
Baylor University, the famous Texas
Baptist college, has conferred simil-
al degree upon him. Truly he has
risen to exalted heights among the cit
izenry of the land; and here in Iowa
where he is known and loved the en-
tire state feels pardonable pride in
his attainments, and in the acknow-
legdement that those in far distant
communities have sensed his sterling
worth and appreciate his great quail
ties of mind and character"
The above editorial is from the Ce-
dar Valley Times published at Tinton,
Iowa, where Judge Sells was born
and lived, until his removal to Tex
as, fifteen years ago. 1t is splendid
to have so lived and served that lead
ing colleges of his native and adopted
states are justified in comforting upon
him their highest honors.-Cleyburm

STOCK HOG IS
SOLD FOR $4,000
II. L. COOK SELLS "GREAT ORION
SENSATION" TO GUY PETERS
OF DEWITT, IOWA.
HIGHEST PRICE PAID FOR HOG
Animal Weighs $50 Pounds and was
Year Old April End. 1920. Deliv-
cry Made Today.

Does it pay to raise blooded hogs
Ask Howard L. Cook, of Coffins Grove
township.
On October 30th. 1919, Mr.. Cook
purchased blooded Duroc pig, seven
months old, whose sire was the grand
champion of the world. At the time
Mr.. Cook purchased the pig, he him
self had not the slightest idea that the
animal could be developed into what
he has turned out to be. At that
time he paid $4,000 for him.
Breeders in Iowa have had their eyes
on this choice hog for some time, and
last week Mr.. Cook sold him to Guy
Peters, of Dewitt, Iowa, for the neat
sum Of $4,000, and delivered the ami
NAL by truck to Cedar Rapids today.
At Cedar Rapids Mr. Peters will meet
Mr.. Cook, and take the animal to his
choice herd of Duroc Jerseys.
Mr.. Cook has a fine herd of Duroc
Jersey shoats and brood sows. and no
doubt has others in the herd which
will some day bring him as much mon
ey as the one he has just sold. Mr..
Cook tells US that Mr.. Peters has one
of the finest herds OF Durocs he ever
saw, and Great Orion Sensation will
be placed at the head of this fine herd.
The hog which Mr.. Cook sold to Mr..
Peters, stands 40 inches high and is r.
inches long. He has never had a
taste of corn. His daily ration con-
sists of four or five gallons of fresh
separated milk and two gallons Of
rolled oats. Mr.. Cook says that when
he has reached his full growth he
should tip the beam at 1900 pounds.
The success which Mr.. Cook has had
in developing this hog shows plainly
that it pays we'll to raise full blood
stock. 1t takes no more feed, if as
much, to raise an animal of choice
breeding, as it does common one.
Mr.. Cook has no doubt RECEIVED the
highest price ever paid for one hog in
this county.

A BACKWARD GLANCE OF FORTY
TWO YEARS,

There was an interesting circum-
stance which appeared as side-light
to the Goth birthday anniversary OF
Hon. J.sW w. Miles, which occurred a
short time ago. Mr.. Miles informs us
that in the year 1878, following the
passage by the Iowa State Legislature
of land grant to the Chicago, Mil
waukee, and st. Paul Railroad en-
abling it to finish the construction of
it's northern line across Iowa, the rail
road company placed special train
at the disposal of Iowa officials and
their friends for the purpose Of an
excursion to the Red River Of the
North. The entire expense Of the
trip was borne by the railroad COM
pany, and more than month was
taken to make the trip. There were
over sixty guests in the party. which
included many members OF the legisla-
ture and their families, and also Bur
ton r. Sherman, who was later COVER
nor OF this state. Mr.. Miles informs
us that the railroad company put the
excursion train under his manage
ment, and he got intimately acquaint-
ed with all the persons who made up
the party. He says that he has kept
track of all who were on that ex-
cursion and that there are but six
of them now living. The interesting
circumstance is that five OF the six
survivors were in Manchester on Mr..
Miles Goth birthday. They were in
addition to Mr.. Miles, his son, Ben
and daughter, Mrs. Sherwood, Mrs.
Julia Boynton, Mrs. Jennie E, Bron-
son, of this city, the sixth member be-
ing Mrs. Nellie Merriam.
