PORK DAY IS ANNUAL EVENT
Hog Producer Witnesses Sale Of His
Animals and Learns Reason
for Different Prices.

Pork day is one Of the big annual
events of Kings county, California. 1t
comes in October usually. In this con-
test the farm bureau center Is the
unit, and every farm bureau in the
contest advances one carload of hogs
to be exhibited and rated by an ex-
pert Judge. Every farm bureau cen
ter must have at least six conslgnors
to the load, thus preventing any big
concern from exhibiting a carload. In
the contest last fall six farm bureau
centers as well as a boys pig club
-.took part IN thoned In addHs car
fbads were ave had been in ths con
test
The county agent leader says In his
annual report TO the United States De-
partment of Agriculture: There
seems TO be no more convincing argu-
ment to hog producer than to see
the actual sales of his animals take
place and to know the difference In
price paid for a superior quality ami
NAL.
Farm bureau sales of this kind were
started in California in 1916 on the
initiative Of the county agent of Kern
county. They are now becoming com
mon in all pork-producing counties Of
the state. There were 175 such sales
in 1920, with sales aggregatlng 81 1,4OO,-
600.

MCASKILL MAN
BROWNS JULY4TH
Jett Lewis Loses His Life
In Little Missouri in At
tempt to Save Daughter

Mr.. Jett Lewis of McCaskill
lost his life by drowning in the
Little Missouri river, near Long
Springs, late Monday after
noon, July 4th., while attempt
ing to rescue his twelve-year-
old daughter, Opal, who was
struggling in deep water. He
went down before reaching his
daughter. 1t is supposed he
either became cramped or that
the excitement produced heart
failure. A negro man who was
on the bank of the river res
cued the young girl and Mr..
Lewis body was recovered
shortly afterward.
Mr.. Lewis and family and
others had gone to Long
Springs to spend the Fourth.
They went over to the river
and went in bathing, several
children who were learning to
swim being among the bathers.
1t is said that Mr.. Lewis had
come out of the water and was
probably changing his clothes
when some one in sight of the
water told him his little daugh-
ter was drowning. He rushed
into the water but went down
before reaching her. 1t is very
likely that Mr.. Lewis was eth
er cramped or had heart fail
ure, as he is said to have been
a real good swimmer, consider
ably above the average.
The body was held for bur-
ial until Wednesday, awaiting
the arrival of two sisters, Mrs.
Will Copeland of Weaver, Tex,
and Mrs. Mary Wren of Joplin,
Mo-, also one brother, Purdy
Lewis of Oklahoma. Two 9TH
er sisters, Mrs. Eva Thompson
of Texas and Mrs. Bates Mitch
ell of McCaskill, also survive
him.
Besides his brothers and sis
ters, Mr.. Lewis is survived by
his wife and three children,
and his father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. Ben Lewis.
Mr.. Lewis was born and rear
cd near Ozan but has lived at
McCaskill for the past several
years. He has held the position
of secretary for one of the
truck associations there for
the past eight years.

There is nothing new to re-

No. l test. Something over 20
feet of rock has just been pene-

deposit encountered under this

1t is not expected that either

feet, the elevation here being
fifty feet higher than at n
Dorado. From the best infor-
nation now at hand the well
is not within $50 feet of that
depth.
The test here is the most
thorough being made anywhere
in the state, as it is said no
other out-and-out standard rig
has gone to the depth that this
one has already gone. Every
inch of the formation is known
to the driilers.
Unless the lucky strike is
made at a lesser depth, the well
will be drilled to a depth of

POULTRY MANURE IS RICHEST
On Ordinary Farm Not Much Atten-
tion Is Paid to II on Account
Of Small Amount Made.

Poultry manure is the richest ma
nure made on the farm, but on the
ordinary farm not much attention is
given II, simply because Of the small
amount usually made. Poultry ma
nure Is valuable chiefly for its large
amounts OF nitrogen and phosphorlc
acid, as II contains about three times
as much nitrogen and fve or six times
as much phosphOric acid as ordinary
farm manure.

FORMER GERMAN
CHANCELLOR DIES
OPPONENT OF SUBMARINE WAR
FARE AND THE MILITARIsTs
PASSES TO REWARD.
Won 5ethmann-H ollweg, Who Offered
to Stand Trial In Place OF the
Former Kaiser, Dies on HE
Estate Near Berlin.

Berlin.-Dr. Theobold Won Beth.
mann-HOllweg, former German chan.
cellor, died January after brief ILL.,
ness, on his estate at Hohenfnnow,
near Berlin.
Among the most prominent activf.
ties of DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg was
his testimony in 1919 as a witness be-
fore national assembly committees i'm
vestigating responsibility for the war.
His testimony brought out he had OPP
posed submarine warfare and had is
sued warnings not to underestimate
Americas strength.
One of the most famous utterances
during the war was that concerning
"a scrap OF paper" as regarded the
treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of
Belgium. This treaty was so charac-
terized by Won Bethmann-H ollweg dur
ing an interview with Sir Edward
Goshen, British ambassador to Ger
many. The chancellor expressed his
inability to understand Great Britaln'a
attitude with regard to Germany's at
tack on Belgium.

prominent attention in June, 1919,
when he asked the allied and associ-
ated powers to place him on trial In
stead Of the former kaiser. The sur
preme council ignored his request.
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg was
chancellor of Germany from July a
1909, to July IA. 1917. He was sue
eeeded by Dr. George MichaelIs, an APP
pointee Of the former kaiser 1t was
said Won Bethmann-Hollweg was
forced out Of office through efforts
Of the militarlsts, headed by linden
burg and Ludendorff, largely because
Of his "scrap of paper statement and
his admission that German invasion
Of Belgium was unjust. The former
chancellor had on several occasions
issued statements blaming the militar-
lists for the war, while previously he
had declared England was responsible.

SENATORS DISCUSS
NAVY REDUC TIONS
TWO PROPOSALS FOR REDUCTION
OF ARMAMENT will BE
TAKEN UP.
Borah and Walsh Plans Before
Foreign Relations Committee
Administration Said to Look
Astance at Suggestions.

Washington.-The proposal Of an
International agreement bn the reduc-
ton of naval armament win be taken
up by the foreign relations commit
tee of the senate, when it viii CEN
slider the two following resolutions:
BY Senator Borah directing the pres
ldent to negotiate with Great Britain
and Japan for so per cent reduc-
ton of naval appropriations by the
three powers for five years.
BY Senator Walsh Of Montana, re
questing the president TO name dele
gates to act with the league of nations
commission on disarmament.
From one administra tion source
comes the opinion that the president
sustains Secretary Daniels contention
that the only sure method of promot-
ing disarmament is through the league
of nations and that MT. Wilson re-
CARDS the Borah resolution as a scheme
of the irreconcilables to discredit
future processes of action. It Is be-
lieved that the president favors the
Walsh resolution, for he notified the
league he could not appoint members
of the disarmament commission on
account of lack OF authority occasion
ed by the failure Of the United States
to accept the covenant.
The Walch resolution, however,
stands no show Of receiving favorable
action by the committee. Senator
Borah is confident that his resolution
will be reported favorably, although
there is disposition On the part Of
some Republican senator's to with
hold action on the measure until the
Harding administration comes in and
the new president enunciates his for
eign policy.

They say Jack Dempsey is better

Heavyweights are said to be at their
best at the age OF twenty-six. They
start going back at twenty-seven or
twenty-eight and roll off on passing
thirty. A list Of champions of the
past proves this. The list follows:
John L. Sullivan at the age Of thir-
ty-four was knocked out by Jim Cor
bett.
Jim Corbett was thirty-seven when
he was knocked out by Fitzslmmons.
Fitzsimmons was thirty-seven when
he kissed the canvas at Coney Island
and Jim Jeffries was made champion
Jim Jeffries was thirty-five when
Jack johnson put the skids under him
at Reno.
Jack Johnson was thirty-seven when
ne played the dying gladiator to Jess
Willard at Havana, Cuba.
Willard claims that he was thirty
two years Of age when Dempsey
dropped him at Toledo.
Thirty seems to be the dangerous
age.
