Yes, growing pains" are rheuna-
atism Of the so-called low sub.
acute form, but still rheumatism.
They should always be treated as
rheumatism and with full
knowledge that they may produce
as much final mischief as even
the more violent forms Of the
disease.
The term growing pains came
about because they occur in grow
ing children, otherwise apparently
well. 1t was thought they were
growing so fast that it hurt. But
you win note that / used the word
apparently when spoke of
them as being otherwise well. i
did so because children who have
growing pains" generally have
them worse after cold, or
sore throat, or night with the
toothache.

body through q wound. Thus /

OF four who was hit on the nose

KEPFORD VISITS

Walter Kepford, who spent a few
weeks in the east and incidently
visited with Jake Schneider, who
had a very successful outing in the
Wyoming Rockies last summer.
returned here Tuesday afternoon.
While in the east Kepford has had
an opportunity to talk a bit to the
reporters" and in January 31st
issue of the Detroit News appears
the picture of this old timer of the
west. together with a lengthy article
regarding Buffalo Bill, the late Col.
w. F. Cody.
Kepford has taken occasion to
tell the boys back east a few things
about Col. Cody. He was one of
his close friends and hunting pals
for years and he knew the old
scout as well as any n in the
west. When any fastener tells
Walt" that there was considerable
"bunkum" about Buffalo Bill they
are arguing with the wrong man,

THE BUILDING AND
FURNITURE

One occasionally sees a building
soiled with chalk marks, pictures
drawn on the walls of corridors and
in toilet rooms, desks hacked and
disfigured, etc. A student that will
resort to tricks such as these is an
enemy to the school and should be
stunned by all self-respecting boys
and girls. Such conduct is a mark
OF low refinment and not a symbol
oil smartness as some boys seem to
feel. School buildings are erected
and equipped at great cost and the
money necessary is drawn from the
purses of the parents of the school
children. Boys and girls, the build
ing n equipment belongs to you
They are not the property of the

but producers are warned not to in
crease production if 1928 prices are
to hold up.
Sheep production is expected to
increase gradually, with a slightly
larger lamb supply. Strong con-
sumption demand for lamb is look
ed for. Feeder demand may be less
active in some sections.
Wool market appears firm with
no marked changes in sight.
Potato growers should guard
against the danger of overplanting
and keep close watch on acreages
being planted in competing states.
Sugar prices seem to be trend
ing toward higher levels, with
world production below that of last
year and increasing consumption.
Growers in well established sugar
districts where adequate yields
be expected will probably find
it advantageous to increase acreage
up to factory capacity if satisfac-
tory contracts can be secured.

NeWs Notes From The
County Agents Office

-
Five high grade dairy calves were
ordered this week from Tillamook.
Oregon. Mrs. o. L. White. bought
a guernsey, Harold Bradbury two
Holsteins and Charles A. Susterka
of Powell ordered two JERSEYS.
These calves come from cows pro-
ducing 800 pounds of butter fat a
year or better. The U. S. census
shows that the average milk pro-
auction per COW for the state is
$40 gallons and with a 4 per cent
test means 125 pounds of butter
rat. The census also gives Park
county a decrease of 4 cows in
five years. January LIST, 1920 we
had 2S42 cows and January lat.
1926 there were 1888 cows. 1t will
be interesting to see figures for
1880 both for COWS and production.
There will undoubtedly be a sub
stantial increase.
Twelve cars of lambs were ship
ped to the market last Thursday
from Powell. In most cases the
lambs IN feed made a good gain.
The figures will be available as
soon as returns are received on
this shipment. These lambs were
valued at nearly $4,000, at pres
ent market prices.
The Irma Flat Pig Club held a
very interesting meeting at the
home of their leader, George Pfran-i
gle. Sunday, January 3Oth. New
Officers were elected and four new
members taken in. Gerald Bartlett
elected president, George
Pfrangle Junior. was, elected vice
president, Donald Bartlett, ~secre-
tary. These boys are starting on
their second years work. Their
project is to raise a litter of pure
bred Duroc pigs, using the STOCK
purchased last spring. Steve
Bates. Lawrence and Clarence An
drene and Buddy Nordquist are the
new members. They have each
signified their intention to secure
a purebred registered pig as soon
as possible. This promises to be
a banner club year on Irma Flat,
and If the boys are successful In
their venture, high quality hogs
may be secured from them tlig
fall.
Wyoming is to have a ton litter
contest this year in an effort to
increase pork production and use
of home grown feeds. The idea of
the contest is to raise a ton of
to the litter in 1870 DAYS.
This sounds Easy but very few far
mers in Wyoming have been able
to do 1t officially. 1t means that
there must be at least eight pigs TO
the litter n they must receive the
care and feeding. Two far
mers have decided to enter the
contest to date. Entry cards may
be secured at this office together
with instructions and rules. Good
prizes are being offered and PARK
County with its ideal weather con-
ditions and abundance of feed,
should take a lead in this contest.
The agricultural out look for
1927 has been released by the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
and it holds considerable promise
for Wyoming farmers. The livel
stock industry is expected to hold
Its own. Beef cattle prices should
be a little higher this year than In
1925.
Hog prices are expected to re-
main about the same as last year,
