In order to make possible this race which will be officially observed by detail of Army officers sent by the Pigeon section of the Signal Corps, the biggest pigeon lofts In the world were constructed by the United Drug company. The beat breeding homing Louis, where more than 5 ooo hfrrl are in training for the big Rexal Derby, have had revealed to them by this feathered clan some beautiful! examples of domesticity. The most predominant trait In the character of the homing pigeon of course, is his love of home. His birthplace, the loft in which he is bred, reared and trained, is home and no other spot on earth, no mat ter how alluring, has any interest for him. He may be carried off miles from home, and tossed off into space, but etentually he will return. It m3y take days, or It may be only a mat ter of hours, but no anxiety is fe'.t on the part of his mate, for she knows that he will be back, sooner or later. Devotion to mate and their young, and love of home Is so dominant in their natures that they are oblivious to all else. There are no slackers in these families. Both male and female do their part towards making a home. 'the male finds the materials of to- bacco leaves and stems, and the fe male sets herself to the task of ac tual nest building. Once mated, pigeons remain mated for life. Thev never waver in their constancy and loyalty to and love of mate. At the age of three months the young pi goon looks about .for his wife and once he wins her, and this only after the most ardent wooing, he is hers till death and he slaves for her and their progeny from dawn till dark. Every day circling over the great loft in St. Louis, training for the race, hundreds of pigeons may be seen, familiarizing themselves with the home surroundings, and always with the idea uppermost, of return-. ing to home and family once the flight Is finished. The care and training of these pigeons has been under the direc tion of an expert who was in charge of the pigeons used on the Ameri can battle front during the world war. Many of these war pigeons won distinction and were hailed as heroes because of their intrepid and unerring flights through rain of bul lets and shrannels. hrineine hack I to headquarters messages from ob servers at the front that resulted in saving the lives of hundreds of Am eiican boys in the battle line. Some of these hero birds are to be sent to St. Louis by the U. S. Army and will be exhibited in the Rexal lofts for the benefit of the thousands of delegates to the convention. Pigeons sre going to be sent to Rexal druggists within 500 miles of St. Louis. - At a specified hour a pair of these birds will be released by the mayor and sent on Its way to the St. Louis loft Each bird will carry a bird message beneath Us wing addressed to the Governor of Missouri, who personally will be at the loft to receive it. Handicaps as to time and distance have been work ed out and the first bird trapping in at the loft will win the golden prize. See the new Studebaker before ou buy your car.

The animal, a fine, fat three-pointer, was killed by the dor tor at the head of Bear Hollow oil Rancheree at 7:30 Wednesday morn, in. Fossil Journal.
