LOCAL H0LSTEIN BREEDER
SELECTS A, FARM NAME

"Owyhee' is the trademark name
that has been reserved exclusively
for the use of Buell. Hawkins, OF
Meridian, as prefix to the regular
registration name for all Holstein
animals raised on the Hawkins farm
and registered with the Holstein-
Friesian Association of America, ae-
cording to an official announcement
recently made by Secretary F. l..
Houghton, of Brattleboro, Vermont.
All registered animals carry be-
sides a registry number, a family
name usually indicating the various
breeding establishments of the coun-
try, trademark names are reserved
by the Association for the exclusive
use of breeders. Thus, an animal can
always be identified as to it's original
birthplace. Every Holstein man in
the United States knows that a COW
named Pabst Glover Blossom must
come from the Pabst Stock Farm of |
Oconomowoe, Wisconsin. In like
manner, animals carrying the pre-
fix "Owyhee" will in the future be
recognized as coming from the Haw-
kins herd of Meridian, Idaho.
The farm name is a good adver-
tisement. 1t marks the farm, home
and place of business. 1t dignifies
the business and increases the value
Of the property. 1t shows a prideI
in the management and fosters love
Of tradition. A good farm name can
be sold with the land and business.
Certain localities in the west have
become famous because of their
arms and the distinctiveness which
goes with naming of them.
In connection with naming the
arm, it is well to think of ways of
lrawing the attention of the passer-
". In these days of autos and tour
SITS, it is the grasping of a potential
dvertising opportunity to display
n the roadsides at the entrance to
he farmyard, the farm name and the
anne and address of the owner.
suspended, therefrom, might be the
Illustration of COW, or a beehive,

Over fifteen thousand of such
ames have been reserved by mem
ers of the Holstein-Friesian Assoc
alton, and pamphlets giving i'm
ruetions for erecting appropriate

CD Our experience as county COM
missioners shows us that large part
of our county expense is caused by
needless and uncalled for litigation

even with the two additional supreme
judges they have been unable to
make much Roadway in reducing
their calendar, due to the fact that
in the past two years there has been
a great increase in cases going to
the supreme court.
We feel that bootlegging cases and
cases of minor Importance, where

han one hundred dollars, should not

OUTLYING HISTORY-No. s.
Now, Captain Smith was an English
: who braved the briny seas.
And though 1t nearly drove him
frantic
To cross the turbulent Atlantic,
Was soon relieved by land and trees.
Now, Captain Smith was one Of few
Who settled ON this shore;
But there were many, many red men
And decided on a war.
Now, PocahOntas was q maiden,
Red Of skin and black Of hair;
Healthy. strong and straight and
timber
From living in the virgin timber.
With her friends, the deer and bear.
Now. POcahOntas loved the Captain,
Though her love was mot returned;
Like the torch or brand or by-Iight,
Like the camp fires lit at twilight
Something warm within her burned.
Now, POcahOntas met the Captain
Everywhere she had the chance;
One day-tied and very Weepy-
She found him lying by q tepees
DlVested Of his shirt and pants.
Now. POcahOntas knew the Captain
Was to feel tho AK 80 keen;
So Ahe said In accents mellow:
keep your nerve, OH white-slKinned
fellow,
will save your lOrdly bean"
Now, Captain Smith was led away
To the Indian chOppIng block;
Said one brave, with arm quito
brawny: "+I' ..
LET your neck so lean and Ncrawny
Rest upon that little rock"
Now, Captain Smith gave up all hope
OF saving e'er his precious peIf;
But POcahOntaS didn't fail him
Before the blade that would impale
him
Dramatically she threw herself.
Now, Captain Smith was saved that
day
On Virginia's sunny banks.
And sent unto his people laden
With gifts from that adOring maiden
But all she got was Smithy's thanks.
