At the conference of swine ex-
tension workers of United States
Department of Agriculture, held
recently in Washington, the ques-
tion of weaning pigs arose. The
discussion brought out the fact
that in some parts of the coun-
try farmers followed the practice
of weaning their pigs at most all
ages from five weeks up. The
conclusions reached were that
for best results pigs should be
allowed to nurse the sow for at
least 10 weeks where it is possi-
ble to do so. It was decided
that it would be still better to al-
low the pigs to wean themselves.
A good suckling sow properly
fed should be in a good flow of
milk up to the time the pigs are

Denison, July 31.—Judge W.
M. Peck, city attorney of Deni-
son and one of the ablest and i
best known attorneys in Grayson
county, died ^'on a train near ;
Memphis, Tennessee, Thursday
afternoon, according to a mes-
sage received here late this after-
noon. Judge Peck was on his r
way from Greencastle, Ind.,
where he had been on business i
to his home here when he was
seized with, the sudden illness
that caused his death.
For four years Judge Peck
served ably on the bench of the
Fifteenth District court and had
also served in the Legislature, as
Mayor of Denison and later as
city attorney. He was a man of
quiet and thoughtful demeanor,
scholarly endownment and artis-
tic tastes. He was author of
several volumes that were
classics and was a' man of wide
general information and unusual-
ly easy of approach.
Mrs. Peck passed away a few
months ago. Their only son died
a year ago. A brother of Judge
Peck died recently and there are
no known relatives surviving.

Dr. J. B. Hall, they having form-
ed a partnership the latter part
of last week. Dr. Durham is a
young man and is a graduate of
the State Dental College and has
had several years pratice. He
recently returned from overseas
service with the 7th Division.
Soon after war was declared
against Germany he volunteered
and was given a commission as
first lieutenant in the Dental
Corps of the 7th Division. He
spent nearly two years in the
service, most of which time was
in France. Dr. Durham comes
well recommended and he is wel-
comed to our little city. Dr.
Hall has enjoyed a good practice
since he came here about two
years ago and for the past few
months he has not been able to
keep up with his work, but states
that with the assistance of Dr.
Durham they will be able to
serve the people of this section
in a satisfactory manner.

Covington, Aug. 1.—Opposing
the League of Nations, challeng-
ing the Democracy of Woodrow
Wilson, demanding "more liberty
and less taxes,’’ promulgating
the declaration of principals of
the People’s Democratic party of
Texas, and inviting every "real
Democrat,” regardless of the
past differences, to join him at
the Fort Worth convention Aug.

mocracy to the ancient doctrines,
| former United States Senator J.
I W. Bailey spoke to over 5,000
people yesterday at the picnic
given each year bv John A.
Stevens of Covington in honor of
Mr. Bailey. Men who have been
prominent in Texas politics were
present from many parts of the
State.
I The principle proposed by Mr.
a Bailey for the People’s Democra-
| tic party, may be synopsized
| thus:
| 1. Opposition to the initiative
and referendum and to the adop-
tion of a constitutional amend-
ment except by a vote of the
people.
2. State rights.
3. Opposition to Federal wo-
man’s suffrage as an infringe-
ment of State rights.
4. Denunciation of the “grow-
ing tendency to regulate every-
thing by law” and insistence up
on more personal liberty.
5. Opposition to the growing
extravagance of the government
—Federal, State, municipal.
6. Opposition to Government
ownership or operation of rail-
roads.
7. Opposition both to monopoly
and to Socialism and a declara-
tion of the rights of personal
1 property.
8. Insistence upon the right of
free speech, including criticism
of the administration of the Gov-
ernment.
9. Opposition to the League of
Nations.
10. Opposition to class legisla-
tion and class denomination.
"I am not a candidate for any
office,” said Mr. Bailey, as he
read and discussed this platform.
‘ I hope never to be a candidate
again, and I never, voluntarily,
will be a candidate for office
again. But I am ready to sup-
port any man who supports
these principals, and without re
gard to any past differences that
vexed the political affairs of this
' State.

It is a pure feed that balances home-

In a modest little monument in
the cemetery at Jefferson ap-
pears this inscription: “Fayette
L. Robinson. Born May 2, 1818;
died September 4, 1884. Erect-
ed by Sells Bros. Show and the
Ringling Brothers, 1890.”
the base of the monument
pears this: “Yankee Robinson.” tank is supposed to have caused
This marks the resting place of
one of the great showmen of the
days when shows were trans-
ported across the country by
horses rather than by train.
Yankee Robinson had been to
the Pacific coast and was return-
ing over the Northwestern rail-
way and when nearing Jefferson
he was taken sick. He was tak-
en off the train there by his re-
quest and the Masonic lodge was
notified. He was taken to the
Head hotel, then owned and oper-
ated by Capt. Albert Head, and
was given the best of care. He
made himself known but soon be-
came unconscious and died with-
out giving any clue to the where-
abouts of his family or any rela-
tives. He was buried by the
Masonic lodge and the profile of
the square and cumpass orna-
ments the top of the monument.
Afterwards a daughter was locat-
ed and notified of her father’s
death. In after years Capt.
Head notified Sells Brothers and
Ringlings of the resting place of
the great showman and they
erected the monument. From
that time on every time a show
visits Jefferson the management
drive out to the cemetery and
decorate the lonely grave. The
other day the modern Yankee
Robmson show, owned and oper-
ated by Fred Buchanan, the son
of a former well-known news-
paper man of Davenport and
Cherokee, exhibited at Jefferson
and Mr. Buchanan and his band
visited the burying place of the
real Yankee Robinson and decor-
ated the grave with flowers as
the band played an appropriate
selection. — Oskaloosa (Iowa)
