all present. The music, the songs by
the pupils of the schools, the prayers
and addresses were all good and in
harmony with the occasion.
The address of Hon. W. j. Morgan,
Wisconsin's Attorney General, was
an excellent one, and attested to the
ability and the high Christian char
acter of the speaker. America enter
ed the world war in the hope of end
ing all wars. The speaker pleaded
for high citizenship, for intelligent
Christian citizenship. He would have
men and women learn and know and
keep ever before them the principles
and purposes for which America
stands. He would have them, first OF
all, read and know the Bible, the his
tory of the United States, the Consti-
| tuition, and the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. He would have old and
young read, mark and learn the pre-
amble to the Constitution, words OF
| Washington, and Lincoln's Gettys-
burg address for guidance in their
citizenship. The speaker rejoiced
that America is leading in the. great
effort that is being made for the re-
duction of armaments, and he be-
lieved that the effort would not be in
vain.

all joining, gave proof of a faith in

RANGE STOCK IS IMPROVED
All Kinds of Sires, Bulls Especially,
Are Receiving Close Scrutiny
by Breeders.

In the Western range states all
kinds of sires-bulls especially-are
receiving scrutiny by live stock own
ers. There is increasing evidence that
good purebred males have wide infiu-
ence on the quality of young stock
and on the returns from stock-raising
operations.
One day recently the United States
Department of Agriculture enrolled in
the sBetter Sires-Better Stock"
movement several ranchmen, each Of
whom had more than 1000 head of
live stock. One flock of sheep con-
tanned $50 purebred ewes and 3,45O
crossbred ewes, the sires being all
purebred. A cattle raiser who enlist
ed in the campaign the same day noti-
fed the department: II have disposed
of two grade Hereford bulls recently,
having decided to run nothing but
purebred sires." This remark is
typical of the progress of the move
ment in Montana.

jeff belonged to a boys club which
had been organized by the county
agent. He was encouraged to raise
litter Of fine pigs under the club sys-
tenn by which the boys applied ap-
proved methods and kept account OF
the results. The pigs sold for fancy
price. jeff, who had made sure prog
ress, saved some money from his labor
and in 1918 entered the Kentucky
State College of Agriculture for it's
short course.
He had been used to seeing his moth
er and other women carry water lou
yards up a hill for washing and cook
ing. At the agricultural college he
realized the convenience and benefit
to be gained by running water conduct
ed to tap in the kitchen. When he
returned home he persuaded his father
to let him put in water system. A
stand pipe 60 feet high was built with
a 500-gallon tank on top, which gave
sufficient pressure to force water to
the dwelling 400 feet away. He rugged
up gasoline engine and pump at the
spring under the hill. He had learned
little about plumbing, so he did all
the pipe fitting in the house. One
months work at odd times, coupled
with little of the knowledge he had
gained at the State College of Agricul-
ture put the water right into the
kitchen. jeff has gone back to COM
plete his college education; and they're
still raising better pigs at the Ander-
son farm.
