PET SHEEP BRINGS 81
POUND AT STOCK SHOW
Price Records Smashed al
1922 Minnesota Junior
Livestock Show

More kids! More and better ami
mails! Higher prices! This, in a
few words, is the story of the Fifth
Junior Livestock show, held last
week at South St. Paul. In every
department it was greater than its
predecessors. Probably the most
outstanding feature was the record
breaking prices paid by the bidders
tor the average animal, as well as
for the prize winners.
A grade heifer, which Joe Isakson
of Springfield won the grand champ
ionship in the calf class, sold to St.
Paul store for IS cents a pound.
Last year, the champion sold for so
cents. Taking into consideration
his prize money, Joe will realize
nearly $500 on his calf.
The champion lamb, entered by
Raymond Sullivan, New Prague, sold
for So a pound. The champion pig,
fed by Terence L. Hagen Of Belview
brought GO cents a pound.
The 210 calves sold for an aver
age price of 14.5 cents pound. The
average price brought by 81 pigs was
1918 cents a pound, 80 lambs aver
aged 1886 cents a pound.
Boys and girls from 70 counties
in the state who entered animals in
the show had the worth of "stick-to-
it-tiveness" we'll demonstrated in the
Judging ring, when Joe Isaksen's an
imal was finally declared grand
champion. Joe had entries in two
previous shows. Two years ago he
was in seventh place and last year
in seventeenth, but came back this
year to win with better calf and
a better understanding of the work,
due to his previous defeats. "pm
gonna do like Joe did" was the slogan
of every youngstcr when the show
closed.

IDLE DESTROYER FLEET
HEAVY LOSS TO NATION
Destroyers in Pacific Waters
Rapidly Rotting Away,
Naval Officers Say
By Robert A. Donaldson


San Francisco, Nov. 20--Thc
United States destroyer fleet in Pa
ciiic waters is rapidly rotting away
from lack of adequate attention, nav
al officials declare.
The destroyers anchored in the Pa
cific, for the most part in San Diego,
deteriorated at least $20,O0O,0OO in
the past twelve months and will de
tcrorate more rapidly than that
during the coming twelve months If
they are not ordered properly condi-
toned and manned, it is stated by
officers who, naturally refuse to be
quoted.
Many Of the destroyers which are
going to pieces in this manner are
Uncle Sans newest vessels, contract
ed for toward the end Of the war,
which have only recently been put in
commission and accepted by the gov
ernment and which have not steam
cd 1000 miles.
There are now declared to be in
the neighborhood Of eighty Destroy
ers de-commissioned and lashed to-
gcther in lonely groups at the gov
ernment docks near San Diego.
Theoretically, these destroyers are
supposed to be ready to have crews
put aboard them for sea service at d
moments notice. Officers point 0It.
however, that to keep these destroy
ers from rotting, it is necessary to
dry-dock them at least twice a y2ar
and to put full crews aboard tEcn1

Penn, the friend Of the Indians, may

For 80 years the Delaware chief
had borne the commonplace name OF
"Honest John" but. now he was hailed
as king Tedyuskung." and was sent
to give the "bIg peace halloo" to his
tribe and invite them to a larger con-
ference to be held later. He started
on this important errand, arrived at
Fort Allen and then he went on a
drunken spree lasting for days.
The Iroquols derided his "declara-
lion" and sought to discredit him.
They failed, and from that time the
power of the Iroquois over the Della
wares waned. He demonstrated MS
ability In later councils. Although 1t
is charged that the white councillors
tried to get him drunk every night, he
always appeared at council the next
morning able to cope with them.
He succeeded ia getting the Della
wares wrongs adjusted and his infiu-
ence brought about u treaty OF peace
which prevented the French and Della
ware alliance. He had saved the OHIO
valley to the English. His death was
scarcely heroic. In the spring Of 1853
his house was set on fire during one

admiration as a youngster picks up
new things in the world, as he over

borne in silence, in tears, as years turn
onward, to view the heart stem OF

Minneapolis, and at supper time had
