MILESTONE Valley Fair,

The Milestone Valley fair held at
Big Stone Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of this week aad one of the
finest displays of fruits and vega-
tables that has ever been made in this
part OF the northwest The exhibit nf
apples was particularly fine, and at
tracted the admiration and was a
source OF surprise to ALL In fact par
ties who had attended the state fair
at Huron this year stated that the ey.
hb't OF apples was superior to taat
at the state fair, a judgment that
was fortified by one of the fruit de-
paFtment, who also acted as a Judge
at Huron. Something over two
hundred entries of fruit were on ey-
inhttlon, including dozen or moe
plates Of grapes, and the fine quality
OF these different fruits indicated that
Big Stone was in the fruit belt of
the northwest The display OF vege-
tables was also a surprise to all both
IN le abundance Of fine exhibits and
size OF the different vegetables dis
played. The live stock show was also
Wei worth noting. the cattle. hogs
and sheep pens being all tenantad
with some fine specimens of the diff
ferent breeds, some of which lad
been entered at the state fair and also
fowl Of the several breeds.
Io impress the visitor that R;p
Stone was maritime port, numbering
fishing among its industries, a large
BRICK aquarium had been built with
Big Stone Lake fish swimming around
in its waters.
For amusements the first two days
Dali game was staged between Big
4 Stone and Twin Brooks PLAYERS and
on The third Ortorville played Big
Stone. A hypnotic performer and

their work. The health clown was a
lady and her work was much superior

ESCAMBIA COUNTY ASSOCIATION is
FORMED WITH w. C. BARRINEAU
AS FIRST PRESIDENT.

The Escambia County Swine Growers

O'Clock yesterday morning. w. c. Bar
rineau was elected president, A. q.

There are other breeds in the county
but no one to represent them was at
the meeting and election of vice presi-
dent will be held in allegiance until
growers owning such breeds become
members or the association.
The association went on record as
favoring the establishment of pack

of the organization last night, expressed
himself as highly pleased at the at

EX-ARMY MEN URGED
TO APPLY FOR MEDALS

All ex-army men, who have not al
ready done so, are urged to bring their
alscnarges to the local army recruiting
office, 500 Thiesen Building, and make
application for a Victory medal.
TINS medal, of beautifully toned
bronze, was designed by the celebrated
american sculptor, James Earle Fraser,
of New York, under the supervision
of the commission of fine arts.
In addition to the medal there have
been designed thirteen combat or maj
Or operation clasps and a definite sec
ter clasp which go on the ribbon with
the medal, and also five oversee SER
vice clasps for troops not entitled to
battle c-asps.
1t has beer the tradition Of the
army that medals in reward for Mill
tary service. be issued. gratuitously
only to troops while they We're in the
the army; after they were discharged
it has been necessary TO pay for, these
medals. This, however, has been
changed with the victory medal. as
the government believed that every
man who served in the world war
should be issued gratuitously the COM
plete medal to which his services en-
titled him. In the event an officer or
enlisted man who was entitled to this
medal was killed in action or has since
died the medal will be issued to his
nearest of kin and the nearest of kin
should make application in the pre-
scribed form, stating facts.
Many men are under the impression
that their discharges are sent away
with their applications. This is wrong.
A copy of the discharge is made by an
officer at the recruiting station and
it is not necessary for the applicant
to allow his discharge to leave his
possession.

HOW SAILORS TRAIN THESE
HoMlNG PIGEONS IN THE NAVY
WONDERFUL BIRDS FOR SER
VICE IN THE NAVAL. AIR FORCES

AT the great Naval Air Station. Ana
costa, d. Co. near Washington, the
homing- pigeons that make up the
Live Winged" branch Of the Naval
Air Service, are trained. Thousands
of these feathered planes" were sent
abroad during the war, and thousands
are trained each year for service at
home.
The homing pigeon is used by prac-
tically every aviator to send messages
back to the base. or to headquarters.
The birds are taken along in small
cages, and, if the occasion arises when
a message must be sent, the bird IS
turned loose as shown in the illustra-
ton.
Up to a few years before the
great war the homing or carrier
pigeon was a highly priced bird, pri-
marty because it was becoming ex-
tlnct rather than for any other reason.

lowed to return to their lofts, at the
same time being timed by special
clock for the purpose. In this manner
the best birds are secured. Before
flight they are given little to eat.N thus
their return to the base is always GER
tain.
In the recent pigeon race held IN
Washington, the birds were released at
Cameron, West Virginia, and flew 200
miles. The winning pigeon travelled
at the rate of 1.543 yards per minute,
at the rate of 1,543 yards per minute,
or almost So miles per hour. Birds

of Agriculture were entered. d.

publication of a government news
bulletin, dealing with profiteers, to
oppose compulsory military training
during peace, and a league plank. He
also presented a prohibition plank
by Hobson.
w. Bourke Cochran, of New York,
presented a plank allowing the manu-
facture and home consumption of
cider light wines and beer, and to
permit states to fix alcoholic con-
tent.
Edward L. Dohoney offered a mi
nority report on the Irish question,
which, however, did not declare for
recognition. Tom Lyons, of Okla
homa, presented minority soldier re-
lief plank. Debate then began, limited
to three and half hours with Bryan
making the opening argument.
Bryan wanted to bury liquor COM
pletely, saying: "Decency requires
that a corpse be put out of sight"
he also argued for his other proposed
planks and got a tremendous ovation
as he held his audience spellbound
under a flow of oratory. Robson and
Mrs. Peter Olesen, of Minnesota, aided
Bryan's argument.
Cochran advocated his damp plank,
saying that Ores on, for instance,
should not tell New York what it
should drink, eat or wear, and de-
claring such qallacies would lead to
federal government telling southern
states how to manage the negro ques-
ton. He said the south's manage
ment of the negro question was the
most successful of the ages
There was argument. for the soldier
relief minority report which declared
for commission to study the ''ques-
ton of fair and just compensation
for service men. After all the ques-
tons had been argued Bryan closed
for his planks and got another ova-
ton.
Senator Glass and Secretary Colby,
closed for the platform issues as pre-
sented by the committee, Colby say
ing on the league that when Amer
lea goes in for a thing she goes in
100 per cent.
Bryan concluded his prohibition
argument at 4:15 O'clock
Bryan's bone-dry plank, Hobson's
plank, and the wet plank were all
voted down.
Georgia. Florida and Mississippi
voted solid against Bryan's bone dry
plank.

Claims of republican economy were
banded as false pretense;' but the
