one load of cotton mules from w. S.
Vivion, northwest of McCredie, for

enable Mr.. Vivion to break even on
the mules, it was considered about $75
better per head than the price he re-
ceived for other mules Of the same
type he sold earlier in the week on the

Harrington, the big mule man Of
Lathrop, Mo-, has on hand $500 head
Of mules which he bought at war
prices and stands to lose $500 900.
So says Bower Bridgford, the Kansas
City commission man. The mules are
on the big Guyton & Harrington farm
near Lathrop, and last summer Har-
rington fed them on pats bought di-
rectly from the thresher at rs cents
a bushel. They are still eating their
heads off-this in addition to the
slump in mule prices, which is among
the most radical declines resulting
from the present depression. Still
Guyton & Harrington, who bought
mules and horses for the allies dur
ing the war, made big money, and
will not be crippled like the little fell
lows. Bower says that present prices
in live stock will continue until re-
adjustment is completed.-Paris Mer-

Charles Dunn, of south of town,
has rs head of fat mules on his farm

to planters at a price that will enable
him to break even, and he does not
expect to get cash for them, but he
it will be better to sell the
mules on credit than to keep them

the mules were driven across country
and many men are still living who re-
member such trips to Dixie.-Cen-

Charley Vaughn, of South Fork
township, recently received $76 more
for a drove of SO hogs, after putting
5000 pounds of flesh on them, than
he paid for them, and is wishing he
could have converted them into break
fast bacon pigs his town cousins are
paying Coo a pound for. Having some
soft corn, he decided to convert it into
pork. On October Is he paid $400 for
SO hogs, their combined weight being
5000 pounds. He recently sold the
hogs, their weight having increased
to $500 pounds. They brought him
$476, just S76 o than they cost
when they weighed $500 pounds less
and before they had consumed a big
lot of corn.-Paris Appeal.

The agricultural class of Mcmillan
High School, the members of whom
have been studying the chinch bug
have found that the bug is still alive
along The fences and in tufts of grass
near the roots. According to A. Cor
rell, instructor in vocational agricul-
ture at the high school, farmers in the
Prairie Lea and Duly dirsticts, had
said they were going to burn the grass
along the fences to prevent the great
loss of this last year, but they have
failed to do 50. The wet weather now
will prevent the burning Of the grass
for a long time.
Last year, the loss in Missouri was
estimated at about $20,000,000 from
the chinch bug. Parts of Audrain
County also had d heavy loss, which
next year could be lessened by killing
of the chinch bug this fall and winter.
Unless the farmers do burn the fences
and tufts Of grass where the chinch
bug lives during the winter, their
Ioss next year may be wen greater,

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 14.-The live
stock industry is closely linked up
with other lines of business and the
prevailing conditions in the live stock
industry are bound to improve as bus
tless generally looks up, according to
j. Ogden Armour of Chicago, who was
in Kansas City recently in conference
with receivers of the Kansas City
Railways Company.
Mr.. Armour declined to discuss the
live stock situation in detail, but said
that neither the producers of livestock
o the farmers in general faced any,
thing but better times.
"There is no call for continued de-
preston or hesitancy in business and
trade conditions" said Mr.. Armour.
In this opinion he was hastily second
ed by Arthur Reynolds, president of
the Continental & Commercial Trust
G. Savings Company, and v~ice-pres-
ident of the Continental & CONNER
cial National Bank of Chicago. Mr..
Reynolds participated in the confer
ence with the receivers.
Improvement may not com as
soon as some hope, but it is bound to
arrive" said Mr.. Reynolds. "Opti-
mism as to the business outlook is
general among bankers and financial
euthorit;:s in the country"
Both Mr.. Armour and Mr.. Reynolds
declared that a radical change for the
better might be expected with the
opening up of spring. A feeling of
confidence among all the people as to
future developments in business
would help to bring the needed i'm
provement, they said.

possible. Charles r. Phillips proved
to be the juice besmeared champion

Wiscasset Bridge to
Be Closed Oct. Is
A Detour Necessary

Wiscasset, Me. Oct. THE Wis
casset bridge will be closed to traffic
on Saturday, Oct. Is and it will re-
main closed while being under repairs
and improvement by the State High
way Commission. The bridge is to be
strengthened. widened and retopped
this fall, the contract having been
awarded to F. w. Carlton of Wool
wich, whose bid was $39,510. OF this
amount the legislature appropriated
about $4,000 at the last session. The
executive council has voted to take
$4,000 from the highway fund to
meet the difference.
This bridge is one of the oldest
in the State constructed of wood,
and is the longest wooden bridge in
the State. 1t is said to be 1888 feet
in length. 1t is travelled very exten-
sively, especially in the summer,
being on the Atlantic Highway. The
old bridge there was badly damaged
by ice and the tides about 20 years
ago and was then rebuilt practically
new. Some retopping and other re-
pairs have since been done and the
old bridge has withstood the ele-
mentS and travel well. 1t has been
dangerous for heavy trucks the
past two years, but no serious ac-
cidents have occurred there.
| 1t is understood there will be a
boat installed for ferry purposes.
for passengers only, when the bridge
lis closed and that the ferry will be
continued until it is open again.
Vehicles will have to go around by
South Newcastle and Alma, a dis
tance of several miles.

KENT'S HILL NOTES

At a joint meeting Of the Y.
w. and Y. NJ. c. A, Thursday
evening Jefferson G. Smith OF
the State Y. NJ. G. A, brought an
inspiring message to the young
people. He urged the necessity of
definitely deciding ones life work
while in school in order that all cdu-
cation and training be directed to-
ward that end. Admitting that Of
tentimes this choice is difficult
one, he gave several suggestions as
to how one should go about it; that
first of all there should be an elm
ination of the things for which one
is untitled and n careful considera-
ton of the work that brings joy and
satisfaction. With striking and for
chile illustration he showed how the
life of service is really the life worth
while.

The Third Internationale asked for
the expulsion of Serrati and Turati
from the party. This would mean
that more than two thirds of the or
ganization would be outside the pale
of the Third Internationale. The re-
mainder, headed by Deputy Bara-
tono, Deputy LaZzar1 and others,
would conform to the dictates of the
Moscow congress. A party split on
these lines seems, however, rather
unlikely.
Deputy Lazzari, who was a dele
gate to Moscow, went there opposing
the Lenine and Trotzky dictatorship
but returned all for them. Describ-
ing the conversion, he said.
"On his way to Moscow, LazZari
was struck by thunderings and
lightnings like ST. Paul on his way
to Damascus and there after became
a convert of Lenine.'
