They had their troubles, he told the offi cials of the agricultural college, and they learned that hog lot sanitation was the only system to use in rais ing profitable pork. Before they adopted this system of clean sows, clean pens, and clean pas ture, thy had all the common hog dis eases in their herd. The new system which will be emphasized particular ly by the Profitable Pork Special, has been in use on the Weaver farms now for several years. The Profitable Pork Special will be made up of nine coaches, seven of them exhibit coaches open for inspec tion at 62 different towns along the Burlington lines between October 2 and 25. O. O.

SUMNER DOWNEY TELLS ABOUT AEROPLANE TRIP A tri-motored plane from Rapid City, South Dakota, spent Tuesday carrying passengers. A number of people rode over to Spencer and back on a little pleasure trip. The plane, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Sum ner Downey and Mrs. McFall. flew to Fulerton Wednesday where they spent the day carrying passengers at a celebration that was being held. They returned to O’Neill today. In talking about the air trip, Mr. Downey says that the crew and pas sengers were Claude Ice, pilot; Jim Welling, mechanic; Bud Fry, busi ness manager, and three men from Fullerton, besides Mrs. Downey, Mrs. McFall and himself; he says: “the landscape rolls rapidly by, traveling at 110 miles an hour; a coyote made desperate efforts to hide himself in the sand-hills, and the ducks were on the fly as we passed over the lakes. On the return trip we ran into fog and had to drop down to about 200 feet, slipping over the towns from Clearwater to O’Neill at 120 miles an hour; sure caused the peo ple to get out and take a look. When you know that the throttles are only half way open and traveling at this speed, one feels like he does in a good car—that there is plenty more re serve if necessary. A few short years and we will be able to travel all over the U. S. in planes.” LITTLE CHILD BURNED TO DEATH NEAR DUSTIN The little one and one-half year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Stew art, residing on the R. E.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lowery and Mrs. Hattie Conroe spent Sunday visiting relatives and attending the celebration at Yankton, South Dako ta. The Daily Independent, published at Ashland, Kentucky, in telling of a football game played there last Mon day between the Armco Steel works and the Fort Wayne, Indiana, teams, has the following to say about Joe Beha: “Beha did the line plunging. The All-North Central back is a dif ficult man to stop, running with his legs so wide apart and a swinging motion deceiving to the defense.” The Armco team shut out Ft. Wayne 79 to 0. Elmer Gibson, of Chambers, was displaying a specimen of the Texas cockle burr to those who happened to be at the court house Tuesday. Mr. Gibson says that the burr made its first appearance in his neighbor hood about two years ago and they are quite numerous there this year.

The burrs grow to a heighth of three or four feet and are loaded with burrs similar to the native cockle burr. A united effort should be made to get rid of these burrs as well as the Mexican sand burr of which we made mention of last week.
