"Hest Easter services yet ' ' was the verdict of some of the older members. A prominent worker, Mr. Cady, president of our Endeavor Society, has gone to Falls City to teach. We will miss him. Keep your eye on the boys. Something interesting is going to happen Saturday morning, and if you are not watchful, your boy will be into it. It is an offense to live so as not to be missed.

Sunday is a day of worship. What do you pay homage to? Some bow down to the bed; others to a shot gun and dog. Some have set up the fishing rod; others the automobile.

Important Hog Bulletin One of the best recent bulletins of the United States Department of Agriculture is No. 08, issued under the date of February 25th, 1014. This Bulletin is by Byron Hunt er, Agriculturist for the Depart ment of Farm Management, and is intended to encourage hog raisers in the Pacific Northwest, especially in the States of Oregon. Washington and Idaho. The title is "Pasture and Grain Crops for Hogs in the Pacific Northwest." This Bulletin should be on the desk of every farmer in this sec tion of the country and is to be had free by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture. The summary of the Bulletin follows: "During recent years the hog industry in the Pacific Northwest has been inadequate to supply the local demands for pork and pork products. This has caused the average price of pork to be relatively high and has made it necessary to ship a large per centage of the hogs slaughtered and bacon consumed from east of the Rocky Mountains. J "It is possible to provide past ure for hogs in most of this re gion throughout much of the ! year. In most localities it is also S possible to provide crops that ! may be hogged off during several ! months of the busy season. The j crops generally used for this J purpose are wheat, field peas, t n-.r. U..ML.. 1 .. 1 wiii uuu uijiicj. uy supple menting well managed pasture with the proper grain rations and utilizing the ability of the hog to harvest grain crops for himself, the average cost of producing pork may be materially reduced. These conditions offer an oppor tunity for profitable pork pro duction in the Pacific Northwest on a much larger scale than at present practiced." Meat Consumption Per Capita Less in America Than In Australia and Argentina. The only countries reported as having a greater per capita con sumption of dressed meat than the United States are the Aus tralian Commonwealth and Ar gentina. These, it is well known, are countries of sparse popula tion and vast herds and flocks; hence meal is exceedingly cheap and the native consumption large and probably wasteful. The per capita consumption of meat for Australia and Argentina is estimated to be in the neigh borhood of 250 pounds per an num; it may possibly be even greater. The corresponding con sumption for the United States was computed by the United States Bureau of Animal Industry to be 172 pounds in 1909, and it is estimated to be about 10 pounds less at the present time. This is much greater than the British consumption, the largest in Europe, which is slightly under 120 pounds per inhabitant per annum.' Hair Switches made from combings. Enquire at this office.

"The janitor wants $10 more a month or he'll leave. I hate to give up the money, but we can't spare him." The senior partner disappeared and returned In a few moments. "It's all right." said he, "I've satis fled blm, and It didn't cost us any thing." "How's that?" "The janitor is now the superintend ent." "Good work!" declared the Junior partner.
