ship at End.

A public-spirited man in Fayette
county, Mississippi, gave six regis
tered pigs to the boys and girls pig
club work last year, with the under
standing that each one who received a
pig was to give back to the club one
pig from the first litter and one from
the second. The donated animals
were drawn for by members from each
beat and one from the county at
large. The recipients were very proud
of their pigs. The six from the first
itters were distributed in December.
If the plan is continued for five years
it is estimated hat 204 registered pigs
will be given away at the close OF that
time, and 1t is hoped that purebred
hogs will be found on every farm in
the county. If these plans mature as
is hoped, the 204 which will be avail
able for gifts at the end of the five
years will be put up at auction and
h proceeds used for a scholarship
to the State Agricultural and Mechan-
ical college. which will be awarded
yearly to the winner of the county pig
club championship.

Revival Of interest in commercial

By means of the fair" exposition, a
new institution for Austria, business
men hope to revive commerce by for

A certain revival OF enterprise also
is manifested in the prevailing fash
Ion. In contrast to the rather mo-
notonous shades OF the last few years,
modes revel in the EXTREMIST color

SOMETHING new for the summer
~ outing, that may be worn any day
and everywhere and fit In with all
b usual vacation backgrounds-that
is what the prospective tourist is look
ing for. Something practical it must
be and a little novel and interesting
at least. There is a great demand for
these ~out-dooring clothes, informal,
but mart and full of style. The shops
are presenting many separate skirts,
to be worn with suitable houses, and
providing handsome lightweight sweat
er-coats with hats and parasols to
match them, In fine materials, to an
swer the demand.
Separate skirts for midsummer have
taken to stripes and cross-bars, or
large checks, in which white and a
color appear together. White and
black, white and brown, white and
orange, white and beige and 81 IN,
are made up in neatly fitted plated
models. The sweater-coats approved
for with them, repeat the color

Of white, or a vivid color may be
chosen for wear with black and white
skirts, as emerald green, or rose color.
White and orange is a favorite in
skirts with white sweater-coat and
hat, with sometimes a white parasol.
Light rose or pink sets-coat, hat and
parasitic be worn with white skirts,
are very generally becoming.
Two practical dresses for the sum-
mer outing, as shown in the picture,
are novel and pretty. One of the
heavy crepe weaves in silk was chosen
for the model at the left of the two,
in white with a cross-bar pattern APP
piled in outline stitches TO the skirt.

The oat to match is slashed about
the bottom and belted. 1t has a short
ripping cape acros the back and ell
bow sleeves. A wide, plated ruff1e on
the blouse makes a frothy cascade of
net down the front.
A lightweight, smooth wool fabric
in a dark color makes the attractive
dress at the right with plated skirt
and eton jacket. 1t has short sleeves
n is worn with a handmade blouse
of fine wolfe and narrow lace. The
sleeves of the jacket are finished with
a pretty bit of n~eedlework.
In casting about for something new,
the innovation of knitted dresses must
not be neglected; they are pretty, in
the light tones especially Sc, and are
just dawning over the horizon of the
fashion world. They look as If they
had much to commend them-it must
be conceded that they have novelty.

And Tom was coming with his

Nancy, STOPPING over the purple
asters, did not hear the steps of the
small boy along the grassy path.
How plentiful the asters were this
year" she thought, land how nice that
the house would look so pretty Just
when Tom was coming home" She
wondered IL he would think she was

and in that new evening ~dress-black

her eyes for a moment in the sunlight.

Her knees felt like water, but she

leaves and autumn flowers.
Like a wounded animal she crept
into the house, and she was glad that
she was alone, that Aunt Myra had
gone TO the village and Lucy was too
busy in the kitchen baking to notice.
She went through the dining room
and looked at the silver that she had
polished this morning-for Tom. How
lovely everything looked-the wa1ed

crumpled sheet and read 1t.
"whati" she cried, "You don't mean

self hat she did not see the stnin of
color that crept to Nancy's auburn
hair.
And he never let us know a thing
about it. Sprung 1t on us this
way"
A little breeze touched the soft gray
curls that showed about Aunt Myra's
temples. but her face with It's pleasant
wrinkles looked older and grayer and
more tired.

pick up a pink smartweed that was
~encroaching to the very steps of the
porch, that Wen have a lot to do, to
make it pleasant for her, so that she
won't feel strange"
Aunt Myra frightened her pressure
or the girls arm but she said moth
ing. 1t was not going TO be so easy to
accept Toms wife when h had al
ways hoped that things would turn out
another way.
But Nancy did not give herself an
other moment to think. There were SO
many things to do. Tom would not
want his own shabby, comfortable
room up under the caves now, III
they must v h guest room.
Nancy put on the best spread and
covered the top of the high-boy with
the old ace cover that was laid away
in lavender. Still 1t looked bare some
how, n she was not satisfied until
she had brought the madonna from
her own room and stood 1t on the
white mantel and laid logs for a fire
in the brick fireplace. Then she put
the asters-the bridal pink-on the
table and the low-boy In two jars
over the mantel, and stood back to
view her work. 1t did look pretty
and comfortable and sweet, she
thought.
And suddenly the gray walls heard
a strange sound, for Nancy had slipped
Town and was burying her lead in
her arms while the tears she a held
back all day strangled her, choked
her as though they were fiery drops.
II hate her! Hate herl Hate herl !"
Nancy cried ~passionately.
But some one else had heard those
strangling sobs besides the cold gray
walls. 1t was Tom Holbrook who
kneeled down beside her n touched
the red hair softly.

asked.
She turned her face to him, tear

to smile.

said wildly.

little girl?"
He had taken out his handkerchief
and given it to her, but she turned
her face obstinately away. "I-want

FLORENCE? What's he got to do

Nancy stood up suddenly and looked
at him with her chin tilted back. "Tom

ALFALFA AS HORSE ROUGHAGE
Plant Is High in Protein and Minerals
and 10 Especially Good for
Young Stock.

Alfalfa receives great favor as a
horse roughage. 1t is high in miner
ais and protein and is especially good
for young stock. Because 1t is laxa-
tive in effect and high in protein. it is
always best TO limit the amount of al
falfa to one-half or two-thirds of the
total hay ration. The rest may be
timothy hay. Use alfalfa with a ra-
ton that is low in protein. Corn as
a grain and alfalfa as a roughage
make a balanced ration.

In 1917 the loss from cholera in the

a little less than 5000. and in 1919
1t was about the same. In 1920, how
