pion not only of Texas but of the
United States; that's what Owen W.
Sherrill, the county agent says, at
any rate. The name of the claimant
is Elton Sartor, and here's the
record on which the challenge is
based:
His 68-pound registered big typo
Poland China sow pig, selected 15
months ago from a famous herd in
Kansas, cost him $25. The first litter
from this sow was 11 pigs. The
price he got for them when they
were 6 months and 4 days old an 1
weighed 2,233 pounds was $527.85.
For 9 pigs out of the second litter of
12 he received $225. Adding $500,
the amount refused for the sow, and
deducting the fee bill of $172, the
gain was $1,052.85. This means i
net profit of $1,052.85 in 15 months

Lard to beat, isn't it ?
Perhaps you wouldn't be so astonished
if you lived in Texas, for,
from all accounts, that's where chani
pion pig raisers are developed. That's
where young Shelby Mullins, the
1917 champion, came from. Mullins,
% though, hails from Georgetown, but
also he was a protege of County
Agent Sherrill.
But let's get back to Bartlett, the
pig club, and the 19i8 champion.
"Bartlett," says the knowing ones
down there, "boasts the fact that as
good hogs as money can buy in the
United States are right here." Puithermore,
it is the home cf the Barth
tt Boys' Registered Pig Club, of
which Elton Sartor i-> a member.
Help From Bankers.
Bartlett is a thriving city of 1,815
inhabitants situated on the line of
two of the richest counties of Texa-.
Williamson and Bell. It is a typical
"live wire" city, whose business men
spell progress with a capital P, and
whose bankers are pace m.nkers in
cooperation. Sixteen Williamson
County bankers, by the way, have
.+.11 + : -'--I i - * ?

of these pig" club boys. Of this feature
the county agent says* "J am
safe in saying that no deserving boy
has >*et been refused assistance in
buying his pig or brood sow where
he was willing to follow the suggestion
of the county agent"?a recognition
of the worth of the methods
recommended by the extension Service
of the United States Department
ol Agriculture, and the State agricultural
colleges, and a tribute to
Bartlett bankers. T. B. Benson,
cashier of Bartlett National Bank,
gees further, declaring that "Any
boy who will raise hogs and take an
iir(-rest in them needs no other security
than his note at this bank. I
have not lost a cent on these notes
and do not expect to."
The Bartlett Boys' Pig Club?
strictly speaking, a pig club in th ?
south is only one specific branch of
boys' and girls' club work?is the outgrowth
of the needs in Williamson
County,.as the wideawakes in Bartlett
saw it, of high-bred pigs and
plenty of them. One of these men i
was County Agent Sherrill. He got
together "two carloads of business
men"?that's the way he expressed
il?and "in one day organized at
eight schools in B.arllett trade territory.
Mr. Benson financed the boys,
at 8 per cent interest, taking the
boys' plain moral note, with their
fathers' permission in every case,
but with no indorsements *3f liens."
This bank cashier further financed
those youngsters in their feed bills?
there had been a drought the previous
year?and gave them two
years in which to meet their obligations.

revitalize your blood and give you
new strength and a healthy, vigorous
vitality. Everyone needs it just now

Do Not Get Carele
With Tl
Impurities Invite Disease.
You should pay particular heed to
any indication that your blood supply
is becoming: sluggish, or that there is
a lessening in its strong and vital
force.
By keeping your blood purified,
your system more easily wards off
disease that is ever present, waiting
to attack wherever there is an openculture,
"17 of those, sows weigh an
average of 500 pounds each. They
farrowed an average of 10 1-8 pigs
around and raised over 1,000 poundof
pig meat each."
Reports to County Agent Shcrrrill
now show that one pig-club member
has cleared over $1,000; four, ov?-r
$500;. eight, over $250; .and eleven;
over $100 out of one sow pig each in the
past year.
There are other good records, too;
for instance, that of one boy who was
guaranteed $1,000 foi his sow and
litter of 11 pigs at Dallas last fall,
but none of them is up to the standard
of E'ton Sartor, the star pig
raiser of the Lone Star S.attc.

New York.?The action of Frank

proclaiming ratification of
the prohibiton amendment to the
federal constitution is not yet binding,
according to a contention contained
in a statement issued by an
executive committee renrosontimr th,-?
1>
Distillers Association of America at
:iic close of two days' conference
here.
Of the 42 States whose legislatures
have acted on the amendment
the constitution of 22, the distiller-:
claimed, contain a referendum prevision
which expressly provides that
no action of tin* legislature becomes
effective until 90 days after .adjournment.
If during those 90 days, 5 or
l> per cent, of the voters petition for
a referendum, the action of the legislature
must be submitted to the
people.
Of these 22 State*, the commtiteo
added, the legislatures of 14 are still
in session, "and the 90 days in which i
to petition for a referendum have not
begun to run."
The committee announced that immediate
steps would he taken to
have referendum evoked in these 14
States and "probably in others."

REMEMBER THE FARMS!'
In the stress .and strain consequent
on the readjustment of the national
life to a peace basis there is real
danger that the needs of the farms
will not receive the attention duo
them. And the needs of the farms,
it is almost unnecessary to say, soon
oj or later become the needs of every
one of us in a particular intimate and
insistcnt, manr.cr.
Were demobilization taking place
in any period but winter the situation
would to a larjjc extent take
ra*-o of itself. In spring, summer, or
autumn agriculture is active,?and the
demand for farm help would be sure
to absorb a good proportion of th.i
men who are returning from war
service without any definite future
in : ight.
But in winter the farms are dormant.
The solders, sailors, and war
\v< rkors. who arc returning to normal
life h,oar no call from the plough
hare and the pruning hook. The
farmers and farm laborers who have
hil nn iiti war acit nul inr. ; Uimmik* lir?
pa I \S months arc row for the most
part soohirg clerical or industrial
wrrk in the hiu cities. Not only
fro; 1 necessity but choice, for oxpe1
h nee Sr. the past has been that few
ve turning soldiers .and war workers
v ill, cf their own free will, turn to
'h.e placid, i: -.event f'ul life oagriculture.

gregarious and urban life and they
prefer it. In a few months, when the.

ijuaic iiumuc'is. inai is an almost
i ii disputable prophecy.
One of the solutions to this very
serious problem will bo found in
j continuation, on a wider basis, of the
I part-time workers' plan. The farm
| service clubs organized in cities', an !
j towns by many different agencies
I composed of men and women from all
walks of life, did yeoman work last
summer and fall in going out into
the fields in the afternoons during
:tho peak load period on the farms.
In the planning and organization
of this work, particularly in
western States, the United States
I Employment Service played a promI
inent part.
I The shortage of farm workers
promises to be nearly as marked in
! 1911) as it was this year. The call
foi increased food production promj
ises to be even greater. Even under
the press of more immediate duties
j it is necesary that officers of the.
i Employment Service in the field be
'prepared for this coming emergency.

AIR AGREEMENT
WILL GOME NEXT
Manchester, England.?Within the
next six months the allies should
reach an agreement regulating commercial
traffic in the air, and within
I
the next five years it should be as
easy and as safe to pilot an airplane
through fog and storm as it is to pilot
a ship, asserted Lord Weir, secictary
of state for air forces, before
an audience here the other day. In
order that ambitious projects now
being discussed might be entirely su'. j
cossful, he said, these things were
necessary:
Development of navigational instruction
by really sound and severe
navigational training.
Creation of an energetic metcrolo- j
giscal service especially designed to I
help air transport.
The adoption of improved systems
of wireless telegraphy and tele
phony.
Tho adoption of a first class system
of day and night marking of
landing places and airdomes.
" We now possess in subtantial j
numbers, either delivered or in
course of construction, airplanes
which carry a crew of seven and .10
passengers, which will climb to a
height of 10,000 feet, and which will
travel 1,200 miles without a stop,"
said Lord Weir. "One typo can come
dewn at sea, float on the waves and
rise again with a full load.

Coblenz.?According to estimates
made by intelligence officers of the
American 3d Army, based upon reports
from all parts of Germany, the

in various depots numbers from
.'100,000 to .">00,000 men. Reports in
dicate that these soldiers are of such
morale that they hardly will be
a\ailable for operation of any extent.
The number of men in the army, re-?

decreasing rapidly.
The new volunteer army numbers
between 100,000 and 300,000 men of
doubtful morale, as they have not yet
been organized fully nor tested fairly.
