Missouri Community Disposes of
Eighteen Nondescripts, Using Six
Purebreds Instead.
"Hunt’s Lightning Oil is a wonder," says Mrs. John Newman. "We are
/ lost without it. Fresh cuts heal with really astonishing rapidity and it
takes all the hurting away.”
This soothing, healing, penetrating, remedy takes all of the smarting pain
out of burns, scalds, cuts, etc. A few drops of Hunts Lightning Oil gives
almost instant relief.
You should have this remedy in your medicine chest. Get a bottle from
6 the very first drug store you come to. 35c and 70c sizes.

“‘Pussyfoot, Pussyfoot,’ where
have you been?” “I’ve been to Lon-
don to preach against gin.” “‘Pussy-
foot, Pussyfoot,’ what saw you there?”
“Some medical students put flour in
my hair.” Also "Pussyfoot" was rid-
den on a plank. Moreover, he got a
black eye—which may result in the
loss of its sight.
All of which happened to William
E. Johnson, a mild-mannered American
antisaloon crusader who has scared
Merrie England half to death with
his prohibition campaign. He has
even scored great success in Glasgow,
where the canny Scots believe with
Robert Burns that “freedom and
whisky gang thegither."
Johnson was a student in the Uni-
versity of Nebraska something like 30
years ago. He engaged in business in
Lincoln for a time. In the early nine-
ties he became connected with the
government as an agent for running
down men selling liquor to Indians, and while in this work he engaged in
many controversies and once nearly lost his life. On account of the danger
connected with the work he adopted quiet but effective methods that gave
him the name of “Pussyfoot,” and put him well at the head of this branch of
the service., .
He left the government service and became general agent and publicity
man for the Antisaloon league. The success of the national prohibition move-
ment encouraged the league to begin work on the other side, and Johnson was
sent to London to open an office.- .
Johnson had the reputation of being a fighter, and while in the university
was an athlete, and he has a way with him.

How a bull association transformed
a community with 18 nondescript
bulls ‘into a community with one-third
that number of good purebred sires
from high producing ancestors is ex-
plained by an extension worker of the
dairy division.
When a bull association was started
in a community in Webster county,
Missouri, the best bull in the com-
munity became a standard for the
bulls selected by the bull association,
PAID FOR DECENT BURIAL
Ghostly Visitor Who Appeared
Lucky Campers Proved to Be
Man of His Word.
to
A good ghost story comes from New
Brunswick. Two men were out camp-
Ing and shooting in wild country. One
night one of them awoke and saw sit-
ting over the glowing embers of the
dying fire a figure dressed in an eight-
eenth century costume.
"Who are you?" asked the sports-
man, startled. The ghost bade him
search in the cliff above which the
camp lay, and told him that he would
find his (the speaker’s) bones there.
He ordered him to bury them decently,
and take as his reward what he found
in the cave.
The figure then vanished. At dawn
the two comrades set to work. They
found the entrance to a cave which
had been almost blocked by a land-
slide. Inside was a skeleton with a
massive gold ring on its bony finger,
and around the skeleton lay various
■ books of dates varying from 1659 to
1685. There was also a manuscript
giving the locality and description of a
treasure buried nearby, which the
lucky finders duly dug up and appro-
priated.

Doubts About Teachers.
The high school freshmen were try-
ing to get the Latin teacher, who was
their best beloved of the faculty mem-
bers, to chaperone them on a hay ride.
But she’ was decided in her refusal.
She said she would take them on a
picnic or to a movie but never on a
hay ride.
“But they are lots of fun,” pleaded
one youth. “Did you ever go on one?"
The teacher answered in the af-
firmative.
“Oh, won’t you take us ?" he insisted.
“Won’t you even take us if we all
promise to keep pur arms folded in
our laps?"
The Past.
I have said that I deemed it a great
thing for a nation, in all periods of its
fortunes, to be able to look back to
a race of founders and a principle of
institution in which it might seem to
see the realized idea of true heroism.
That felicity, that pride, that help
fs ours. Our past, both its great eras,
should announce, should compel, should
spontaneously evolve as from a germ
ea wise moral and glorious future. •
Henry Chorley.
No Cards in the House. -
The fourth-grade teacher had a
great deal of trouble with Fred’s at-
tendance. He was absent so often
that she got suspicious and wrote a
note to his parents,-as follows:
“I am afraid that Fred is playing |
truant and I would like your co-oper-
ation in securing a better attendance
record from him.”
This was the reply:
"Dere Teecher—If Fred is playing
truant he didn’t lern it at home. We
air church peeple and hain't got a
card in our house.”
GLASS LEAVES TREASURY FOR SENATE
Carter Glass, secretary of the
treasury, was appointed by Governor
Davis to succeed the late Thomas S.
Martin as United States senator from
Virginia. Secretary Glass consulted.
President Wilson and then announced
that he would accept the appointment.
The term of Senator Martin would
have expired in 1925.
Mr. Glass was a representative in
congress from the Lynchburg district
of Virginia and was chairman of the
committee on banking and currency
when in December, 1918, he was ap-
pointed by President Wilson to suc-
ceed William G. McAdoo as secretary
of the treasury. He is owner of the
Daily News of Lynchburg and the
Daily Advance, an afternoon paper of
the same city. He is sixty-one years
of age.
Mr. Glass was a member of the
Virginia state senate for six years be-
fore going to congress. He was
elected to congress in1902 and served there con inia apdVinemrentas sectetarY

All-of the new bulls, then, are as good
or better than the best bull that was
in the community before.
Before the bull association was or-
ganized the 18 bulls, in the commun-
ity were valued at $1,355, an average
of $75.28. One or two of these bulls
were purebreds and the rest were
largely grades and scrubs of mixed
dairy and beef breeding. After the
association was formed these nonde-
scripts were disposed of and six. pure-
bred dairy bulls were purchased at a
total cost of $1,657, an average of $276

association bulls resulting from or-
ganizatior. of the association made it
possible for the six purebred buils to
take the place of the 18 bulls formerly
maintained. The reduction in the
number of bulls also resulted in a cor-
responding reduction in the cost of
maintenance to be charged to each
cow.
The improvement in the quality of
the bulls seemed to have a marked ef-
fect on the class of cows kept in the
herds, and in less than one.year after
the association was formed the num-
ber of purebred females in the com-
munity increased from two in July,
1918, to 42 the following June. The
large amount of good which resulted
from the transformation of a scrub-
bull community into a community of
good purebred sires is an agricultural
improvement hard to parallel, espe-
cially when it is considered that this
change was made with an expendi-
ture of only $10 more per farmer, and
I that the use of good sires will result
in a lasting improvement to dairy cat-
tle of the community.

FAVOR RAISING FALL CALVES
Expert of South Dakota College Gives
Reasons Why Farmers Will Find
It Profitable.
Several reasons why farmers find it
more profitable to raise fall calves are
given as follows by Prof. C. Larson, of
South Dakota State college:
A cow that freshens in the fall will
produce about 20 per cent more milk
during the year than one that calves in
the spring.
Dairy products bring the farmer
about a third more money in winter
than in spring.
Winter dairying allows of more and
cheaper labor after the field work is
done.
Winter dairying avoids flies that cut
down the milk flow and bother the
, milk-fed calves.
Calves dropped in the fall will do
well under good winter care and when
spring arrives they are ready for pas-
ture with the other young cattle.
Avoid mating too early in the fall
Wait until December and January.

ment so a man who has served his own
country and the one to which he was

president’s compliance is satisfactory
to Americans of both parties. )
