We have known of many towns being incorporated, and have yet to learn of one that has done so to go back to the un-incorporat- ed state. Incorporation, means local op tion, pure and simple, it gives to the people the right to say whether they want certain things or not, nnrl nun think of no better place to live than a place where we can choose as to what improvements we desire or do not The district included in the pro posed incorporation, takes in what is known as the entire townsite, being one mile wide east and west and one and one-halt miles north and south. NO DANGER OF OVER-PRODUCTION OF ORANGES' H. C. Schrader.

an expert, writ ing in the Fruit Trade Journal of New York, says, so far as oranges are concerned, it would seem that we need not feel apprehensive about any possible over-production of good quality that are well graded and packed. With grape fruit, however, he thinks that the production is growing faster than the demand and believes it will be necessary to educate more people to -like them. LATEST WAR NEWS According to the dispatches the! Allies are endeavoring to move forward and force the Germans back in north France but: are meeting a stubborn resistance. In Poland both the Russians and Germans are claiming victories, nothing of a decisive nature appears to have taken 'place anywhere. It is reported that a British fleet captured or sunk the German fleet of commerce destroyers off the coast of South A-meriea.

Circulation is not the only thing that commends itself to advertisers, one of the most valuable of all things to a newspaper is the respect and confidence' of its readers. Careful buyers of advertising space take into consideration a newspaper's standing with its well as its circulation. The longer a newspaper goes to a home the more essential it becomes to the life of that home.

ECKSTEIN, FOLEY ALL KINDS OF HARDWARE center, then there is jo need of incorporating, If on the other hand the desire is to build a coun LEARN Animal Should Be Kept In Yards and Pens Where They Can Avoid Narrow Gates and Doors. (By Q. E.

MORTON, Colorado Agricul-- 1- tural College.) Brood sows should be allowed plenty of room to exercise In, up to about two days of farrowing time. They should be kept in yards and pens Where they win not be obliged to pass through narrow gates, over- boards, doorways, or through low doorways, where they are obliged to bend their backs to get through. Any one of these Is likely to result in dead pigs at birth. It is a good idea to feed whole Oats scattered on the feeding floor or ground for a week or two prior to farrowing, so that the sow will be forced to exercise in getting her feed. When about due to farrow, the sow should be put into a pen which has been fitted with wallguards, whore the pigs may find safety after birth.

The ordinary pig guard is useless because it is neither high enough from the floor nor far enough from the wall, and the space underneath fills up with straw so that the pig is crushed almost as easily as if the guard were not there. For thin, active sows a large pen may be used. For extremely heavy, fat sows, it is best to have' a pea space comparatively so that the sow cannot turn around Quickly and thus step on her The sow should not be fed heavily Just prior to farrowing, nor Just after farrowing, but should have a thin slop for a few days so that there may be no tendency to con stipation. If there is any" such ten-tency, a dose of epsom salts should be given In the swill. -The bedding in the pen should be kept absolutely dry as dampness will very quickly cause death loss among young pigs.

Within a week or two the bow and her litter should be moved out to a colony hog house, where they will get more exercise. When the pigs are two or three weeks old, two or three bows may be turned together. SELECT THE BEST STALLION Too Many, Farmers -Are Neglecting Matter of Patronizing Good Sire, Thereby Reducing Profits. (By J. MONTGOMERY, Minnesota Experiment Station.) The progressive farmer who keeps brood mares is confronted with the problem of choosing a stallion to 1 4 3 8-tt f-X iS- Fine Specimen of Clydesdale.

which to breed. In many cases it Is merely a question of eliminating the worst, as there are many communities that are not supplied with good In many other cases, however, the saving of five dollars on a Bervice fee plays an all-Important part Fifty-five cent of the stallions licensed in the state are grades or less than grades, which Shows that tod many are neglecting-the matter of patronizing a gopd sire, and are thereby reducing their profits. A saving of five dollars on a service fes often means a loss of $100 or more when the colt Is two years old. When looking at a stallion It is well to ask yourself: "How much would he be worth as a gelding? II his colts are like him, will they be good market geldings How much improvement wfll he make when bred to the average farm mares? The answer to these questions will decide whether the horse Is a suitable sire or not: In answering them It should be kept in mind that good feet and legs are the first essential of a mar ketable horse. If the stallion does not have them he cannot be expected to produce them In his offspring.

The state license which the owner of a stallion must show Is the best guide to the breeding of the stallion. Feeding the Hogs. Moldy feeds occasionally kill lots ol hogs.

J. Bryan, and many other prominent men, are -beginn- ing to realize and have the-courage to voice their convictions chat "preparedness is not a remedy for war but rather a symptom of war or warlike feelings. is no reason under the uuu wuy mis nacivu fraid of England, Germany or any other nation, whether they have a larger or a smaller army orna-i vy, in fact, there are no reasons why any comparisons of their armed strength should be made, as should have no desire to test -p is no'more reason for a nation, to "tot" an aggressive army and navy through fear of other nations, than there is for a inian to "tot" a gunthrough fear of his fellow man. History shows that wherever either have done so it invariably lead to trouble and not. to safety.

A. man can be a man and a man without fear and still be without a gun; and a nation can be a nation and a nation without fear and still be' without an army and navy; for such a man and such a nation are brave in the righteousness of their own hey de- mand justice only when justice Is -their due, hence thyusually obtain it; hey covet not the possessions of others, hence others not feel free to take from them as tljeir consciences are free of malice they neither fear nor hate others nor dp they give cause for others to fear or hate them, in fact, by attending strictly to their own business they cause others to do the same, and history will show that their prospects for peace and prosperity are ten to one better than those ot the braggart who is ever ready to defend his supposed honor, etc. As to bravery, we believe that man or nation which has the moral courage to say, "no, I will not go out arid aid in the butchery of my fellow men" is far braver than he who follows the crowd and takes the chances. Next to royalty, we believe, that nnioa an7 naria. flip costliest superstitions and fakes, that the people of this werldhave ever been burdened, with, and as they are correlated we believe they should be, wiped out together.

We Ao not believe that there ever was a war or fight from the mix-up between Cain and Able to the present time that was justifiable. We candidly believe that one public school is worth more to the world than all the royal am- ilies that ever existed. We candidly believe that one Edison is worth more' to the world than all the generals the world has ever suffered junder. We candidly believe that a Federal Peace Police, whose duties would be to safe-guard the rights and peace, of the people, would be of real value than all the armies of the world. While we do not expect either ihe government or the people to take all this to heart right now, we candidly believe that if the public schools can be consistently maintained for a few more years that the time will -come' when they do and when they will rise up and demand it as their just dues and when they do "they will get it.
