.@sSTOCK!
FOUNDATION STOCK
IS BIG ESSENTIAL

The good breeder of live stock may
be said to be the one that has been
successful In the selection Of the
parents of his stock. The corner
stone Of success is selection. Care
and feed are essential, but they can
develop an animal no further than
the inheritance that animal has re-
ceived from its parents Will permit.
A man was seen one time upon the
Denver market trying to buy a boar
to take home to his herd. When en-
gagged in conversation he showed that
type, ancestry or health did not EN-
ter his mind. A boar was a boar and
nothing more to him.
Selection is just as important to
that man who was producer of mar
ket hogs as it Is to the producer of
animals from which others breed
Satisfactory results cannot be OBJ
tained by taking anything as founda-
ton stock and then save the best
from their increase. There is quite
likely not to be any best among
the increase. The live stock man
uuSl utCluc UPON HIS luedl Dt-
fore he starts in the business and
selects his foundation animals with
his Ideal always before his minds
eye. 1t is impossible very frequently
to obtain our ideal or even approach
1t, but to have a goal toward which
to work and never reach 1t, is better
than not to have any goal at ALL
Selection is important, as has been
suggested, and it may now be said
that selection to type is important.
Diversity Of types seen in a breeders
flock or herd is generally indicative
of haphazard breeding operations.
What is the value of uniformity of
type? No one will question its f1nan-
cial advantages in feeding or selling.
Many worry about which breed to
raise, but the selection Of and ad-
herence to type is even more I'M
portant than the selection Of breed.
The breeder of live stock must be
student of animal form and a judge
to insure success In his endeavor.-

tural College.

Roughage for Fattening
Lambs in Feeding Test

Very little difference between al
falfa and soy-bean hay as roughages
for fattening lambs was noted in q
feeding test at the Illinois experiment
station. The two hays were fed to
lots of Is lambs fed shelled corn in
addition, with no supplement. Gains
made by the two groups of lambs were
almost exactly the same. The lambs
given soy-bean hay ate somewhat
more hay than those fed alfalfa, but
the soy-bean hay group ate slightly
less corn to compensate for the in
creased hay consumption. Somewhat
more of the soy-bean hay was wasted
than of alfalfa. At the end Of the
test the alfalfa lambs were valued
ten cents higher than those fed soy
bean hay, but both lots brought the
same price when sold at Chicago.

Sunlight for Little Pigs

Sunlight is Indispensable to the
health and vigor of newly born pigs.
This is true in all except extremely
hot weather. The sooner they get II
the better it Is for them, and farrow-
Ing houses fitted to let in the sunshine
are decidedly advanta Seous. AS soon
as the little fellows ara strong enough
to run around and follow after tn.
SOW they may be let outdoors into the
sunshine. They ought to be strong
enough to do this within from thres
lays to q week.

BY the next day she was so much
better that the doctor declared her
cut OF danger-time alone being all
that was necessary to bring her well.
In the serene evening the sun peeped
under the porch roof for one last look
before reluctantly passing on to less
interesting scenes beyond the gates of
the west; fell In at the open parlor
window; crossed the floor and just
missed the big old-fashioned sofa, soft
and cozy with blankets, where the
woudsman had carried the girl In his
great arms, the wonderful landscape
OF lawn and bottoms and winding
river spreading before her.
The woodsman himself sat on a low
footstool at her side. The room had
settled still.
From the kitchen came the low
drone Of voices where Mrs. Curry and
Aunt Liza sat by the cook stove. A
tall old clock in corner of the parlor
taller than the woodsman himself,
with peasant man and maid on the
race raking hay-punctuated the 81
lence into a sort of drowsy rhythm.
The girl was so still that he thought
she slept. CHANGING around at her, he
was amazed to see her eyes full Of
tears

the brother in whom she still be-

honor she was haply spared from ever
knowing-and the attempt failed.
She turned back to him after time,
brushed away the tears and a brave
suggestion of the smile that made her
eyes SO wonderful frightened them.
Amt it jist terrible FIR me t. cry

He hitched the footstool closer to
the sofa. 1t surprised him to feel
queer weakness in his breast and a
tfghtness In his throat when he tried
to speak.

He fumbled in his blouse; took out
the letter in its formidable envelope

She took it and, glancing over it,
handed it back. He tore it open and
drew out its contents.
Wide-eyed, they read 1t through

SITTIN' UP WITH
THE CORPSE?

Special deputies are guarding the
election returns and ballots in the
vault of the supervisors office,
Flagstaff, under telegraphic re-
quest of the democratic state CEN
trail committee received here Tues
day night.
Just why, is a question, though
Joe B. Rickel, clerk of the board,
has it doped out that it is because
Of the promise made by A. H. Me-
Clure, republican candidate for
secretary Of state, to contest the
election in case the returns didn't
show him victorious; said promise
being made because Of the failure
in some counties to print his name
and that Of Charles r. Holton, cam
didate for attorney general on the
ballots. The reason claimed for
not printing the names on the bal
lots was that the appointment by
the republican state central COM
mittee of the candidates named
came after the ballots were printed.

TOM RICKEL AND HERB
HILKTNS OPEN GROCERY

One of the most important changes
that has occurred in the downtown
business section in some time was the
moving a few days ago by Joe Craw-
ford of his grocery stock from the
Aspen avenue store he has SO long oc-
cupied to his residence property on
Milton road and the announcement of
the opening of new store in the
space vacated by Mr.. Crawford
Tom Rickel and Herb Hilkins will
install an up-to-date grocery and meat
market i'll the east side OF the store,
which is being partitioned off and re-
modelled. In the west side will be a
fine news, cigar, confectionery and
novelty store of which more will be
said next week.
Messrs. Rickel and HillSins are two
of the best known men in Flagstaff
and each has a lot of friends who will
wish them well in their new business.
Mr.. Rickel for many years has been
manager of the grocery department
at Rabbits and Mr.. Hilkins Of the
meat department at the same store.
They are not prepared to say JUST
when they win be ready to welcome
customers, except that it will be with
in the next month.
Flagstaff will find ready welcome
for these two new stores, both of
which will be live ones.

FLAGSTAFF AND COUNTY
RECORDED HIGHEST VOTE

The vote throughout this county
was unusually large, in Flagstaff
especially. With intense interest
aroused in the Bright Angel trail is
sue as well as the various contests
for offices, this county probably
polled much nearer its registered vote
than any other county IN the state.
it certainly beat its own record in
that respect.
In Flagstaff the Boy Scouts, organ
lied and spurred on by Flagstaff Jun
ior Chamber Of Commerce and re-
ceiving the full cooperation Of the
Rotary club, got out vote that was
surprisingly large With 1921 regis
tered, there were 1879 votes cast, or
90 % per cent. Precinct No. 3 car
ried off the honors in this regard, yot-
ing 493 out of possible Sid. OF the
19 who didn't vote, seven were out OF
town.
Precinct No. 1 voted 269 out Of 302
voters registered; precinct 2. of 1872
registered, mustered 149 at the polls,
while $50 OF the 513 registered voters
in No. got out and voted.
The Boy Scouts made a house to
house canvass in the forenoon, COW
ering the entire town and reminding
Ieveryone it Twas election day, in many
cases making appointments for auto
mobiles to call for the women. In the
afternoon the Scouts went at it again.

IL o'clock, Rotarians and their ears
lined up in relays of several each at
C. B. Wilson's office and were direct
ed where to go after voters. Both
republican and democratic head
quarters were also busy checking up
the vote and getting after those who
were more tardy. Mr.. Lapraik, eng.~

roads, said next day he and his wife

KNOLES BROS. SOLD
BAKERY TO MOSER BROS

Rollin and Tom Knoles have sold
their bakery to Earl and Clarence
Moser, who took possession the latter
part of last week.
The Messrs. Moser are capable bak-
ers and successful business men. They
spent the last year in Phoenix, be-
fore that having handled one of the
largest bakery businesses in Idaho.
Clarence is married and brought his
June bride here with him.
Rollin and Tom, accompanied by
their respective sons, Everett and
Tommy, left Tuesday afternoon in
their car for a tour of Texas, Louis
lana, Florida and then up the east
coast and across several of the other
southern states, expecting to be back
in Flagstaff in a month or six weeks.
The Knoles brothers have some busi-
ness to take care of in the south, but
the main object of the trip is to have
a good time, especially to give a good
time to their sons, who have. worked
like chips of the old blocks and are
therefore considered by their dad
chums to be highly eligible for the
best kind of a vacation. Where the
brothers will locate next is still a
problem.
The Moser brothers have taken over
a fine business, built up by industry
and fair dealing until it has become
the largest bakery in the northern
part of the state.

STATE GAME WARDEN
FAVORS DEER KILLING
AFTER DRIVE Is OVER

State Game Warden Willard said in
Flagstaff this week that he hopes to
get the agreement of Governor Hunt
not to object to opening the west part
of the Kaibab game reserve, north OF
Grand Canyon, to the hunting of male
deer following the drive of deer from
the east side of the reserve by Geo.
Mccormick.
Mr.. Willard says the deer in the
west part of the reserve cannot be
driven out and should be thinned. This
can best be done, he believes, by the
government opening the reserve for a
stated time to hunters to kill some OF
the deer. Otherwise, he believes, IN
their half starved and consequently
weakened condition, a disease VIII
break out among the deer.
The Flagstaff Game Protective as
sociation will meet at the courthouse
next Tuesday night to discuss Mr..
Wizards plan. President Tom Nc
Cullough has called the meeting and
is in accord with Mr.. Willard.
At the Orpheum theater Wednesday
afternoon and evening, under the aus
pices of the local game protective as
sociation will be shown 500O-foot
special film, "Wild Animal Life" said
to be very interesting. There wal
also be comedy film. The assocSa-
ton hopes to have good attendance
at both the theater and the court
house. The Wednesday matinee will
be more especially for children.

ARMISTICE PROGRAM
AT ORPHEUlA TUESDAY

Plans are under way for an Armis-

Orpheum theater at 10 o'clock next
Tuesday morning, the sixth anniver-

which ended the World war. The pro-
gram is in charge Of the local Aneri-
can legion and American legion aux
iliary, and is patriotic in character.
A very cordial and urgent invitation
is extended to every one to be present
1t is hoped that the schools will turn
out in a body; that all ex-service men
of any war will be there, preferably
in uniform, but be there.
There will be distinguished guests
present if the plans bear fruit, and
possibly some of these will give a
message.

FOUR MORE YEARS PROGRESS ASSURED
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
in ELECTION RETURNS

Interest in election returns was at
fever heat in Flagstaff. First, and
early, it was settled that Coolidge had
swept things for president and would
receive many more than the 266 cleo
toral votes needed. Next attention was
directed to the local contests Some
of them were decided on early returns,
the successful candidates having too
much lead to be headed by the finals.
For a time it looked like Billy Beeson
might be beaten, at least closely be-
set by his democratic opponent, Joe
Higginbotham. But later in the eve
ming things began coming Billy's way
pretty fast and by midnight all pos
sible nightmares had been shooed
away.
