The livestock grower who agrees to use purebred sires ex clusively in raising all classes of animals on his farm is presented by the Department of Agriculture and state agricultural colleges with a diploma, emblematic of his interest in the '"Better Sires-Better Stock" educational campaign. In addition, he is given a lith ographed barn sign resembling a metal tablet whieh he is author ized to display. t Realizing that widespread use of inferior male breeding animals has been for many years a cause of low production per animal and of needlessly poor quality, the de partment launched the "Better Sires-Better Stock" campaign eight years ago as one of several plans to bring about increased ef ficiency in the production of meats and dairy and poultry commodi ties. Special 'emphasis was placed on the improvement of purebred male breeding stock for the reason that a male has a great many more progeny than the average female, the ratio being approximately 20 to 1 for most classes -of livestock. A total of 1703 growers had enrolled in the campaign tip to April 1. Animals, exclusive of fowls, undergoing improvement, totaled -"71.2: poultry. 1.290,- i ('out iiinol mi :iz- By MAIM IJSIIKTH .

"Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name IouuanuoL" (mean ing God with us). He lived with men here on earth for 33 years, three years of that time spent in His earthly ministry in preparing His disci ples to po on, with His work. There came a time His time when he suffered and died and rose again the third day. He walked and talked with many. He had told his diciples that He was going to leave them. "It is ex pedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comfort er will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world; again. I leave the world and go to the. Father." John 16:7-28.

(Spe cial) Another victory has been won by the 'American Legion in its campaign for the passage of improved child welfare legislation in various states, Howard P. Sav age, national commander, an nounced today upon receiving word that a bill, sponsored by the Legion in Massachusetts, has been signed by the governor. Sim ilar legislation is receiving the active support in other, states. Commander Savage said, as the public comes to understand more and more the need of it. In Massachusetts Governor Ful ler signed the bill, ' then presented the quill he used to John D. Crow ley, chairman of the state welfare committee of the Legion, in rec osnition of the work he did. In Georgia, where the legislature meets this mojith, the decks have been cleard for one of the most thorough ehild welfare sets of laws in the country; and in Wis consin a bill urged by the Iegion has received a favorable hearing by the senate legislative com mittee, and awaits enaction. Other victories in the Legion's recentlv innno-iimter) nimnairn also have been recorded, first in New Hampshire, then in Penn sylvania, West Virginia. Missouri. Arizona and Indiana. The Legion's program consists of a minimum set of four laws.; compiled by State Senator Sher man W. Child, of Minneapolis, vice chairman of the Legion's Na tional Child Welfare Committee. Some states already have these four provisions, but in nearly ev ery instance there is some flaw that makes one or more of them inoperative. These four provis ions are: 1 A good, workable desertion and non-support law that will make extradition easy. 2 A good, workable widowed motber allowance law that will allow a mother to support her children in their own home. 3 Unpaid-county child welfare boards. 4 A central state eWld wel fare bureau. The legislation in- Massachu setts was an argendment to the Soldiers' Relief law. and Tnakes it possible to provide aid to de pendent children under 18 years of aee in order that they may complete a high school education. The age limit had been IB. It alao provides aid for the "settled" widows and children of veterans who entered the military service from some other state, the wid ows later becoming citizens of Massachusetts.

Thomas A. Jagger, chief of the-volcanology division of the United States Geo logic Survey, the volcano is full of fire. Ireat floods of raoltfen lava are seething and surging about within the crater from 6.000 to 7,000 feet above the town. Soon it may be only, a matter of weeks,' this molten mass will break the mountain orjSIL, spurting fiery fountains into the sky and run ning in red-hof rivers to threaten the town beneath. But the prediction of geolo gists means nothing to Hawaiians. It, Is only when Madame Pele "appears" that they believe an eruption wilt come to pass. And Madame Pele has shown herself, according to legend. She came In the guise of an old woman to a native on the beach at Kuhio, re questing food and lodging for, the night. When the native turned to assist , her she was gone, van ished in a flash, and behind, on the beach, she left her sign, a pile of "devil bones."; The "appear ance" of Madame Pele with her "devil bones" never has failed to bring an eruption.

Jason tee's Influence" irt Saving Oregon Country , to the United States - By W. T.

Lewis and Clark made their preparation for that trip the very year that Jason Lee was born. From ; that time'-Oregon "was a burning question.
