Henderson, as sistant attorney general and legal adviser to the State Public Com mission in a recent address at the Washington Annex Hotel, Seattle. Market Toppers It is the aim of every live-stock farmer to have the buyer say to them, "The top o' the market to you. " Experienced feeders achieve it, but rarely beginners. Pig-club members have topped the market on the first hogs they j have raised. These members followed the instructions given them by the pig-club agent 6ta-; tioned in their State. They fed balanced rations, kept the hogs free from lice and worms, and made their hog feeding a busi-! ness enterprise, and not a ven-' ture. i In Oklahoma 23 boys and 1 girl sold their pigs to the two1 Oklahoma City packing houses at top prices, going 35 cents above the top of the market for ' the day. These hogs averaged; 10 months of age and 344 pounds! in weight Eleven of them were j judged as perfect market type by the buyers, and only one! scored below 90. The average j dress out was 84 per cent un-: chilled. j The champion hog from King- fisher County weighed 440 pounds on the hoof and dressed out 87 j per cent unchilled. This 11- j months-old barrow was on alfalfa pasture the first four months of j his life, and then was fed tank age, corn, kitchen wastes, shorts, j and alfalfa the next seven! months. He cost 6 cents per pound to produce, including pur- chase price, feed, and labor, and . gave the boy a profit of $8.90 in ! addition to the prizes won. I In Kentucky 15 pig-club boys, j with hogs averaging a little over ! 200 pounds, topped the Louis-j ville market for the day by 25 cents a hundredweight . l0lCZI0tZ3lC30CDli0l Sugar Corn 10 cents a can Sweet Corn 10 cents a can Dry Granulated Sugar $6.35 per Sack Eastern Oregon Hardwheat Flour $1.35 per Sack Will beat parcel post prices for CASH at the MONMOUTH MERCANTILE STORE Monmouth, Oregon oaoDt hoc 5HOHCJOID O IS John M. Scott, General Passen ger Agent of S. P. Company, Visited Dallas John M. Scott, General Passen ger Agent of the Southern Pacific Company, in a conversation with a representative of the Dallas Observer Wednesday of last week, gave out the following statement in regard to the im proving business conditions: "On the present trip in the Willamette valley I find a very encouraging tone. The valley's largest business, that of the lum ber industry, is so nearly back to its normal position that dealers and manufacturers are enthusi astic. Commercial lines of all kinds are on the up-grade toward prosperity, and the outlook for the coming months is indeed bright. I am, of course, most directly concerned with the rail road business, but the railroads merely reflect the trend of busi ness and industry in general, and in the outlook in this line I can see no cause for complaint. All over the lines of the Southern Pacific company a demand for cars presages big things for the immediate future, and bv the immediate future we may judge for a much greater time, for when prosperity does return it is to remain with us. Our business is showing a daily gain that en courages enthusiasm, and with that the railroads are more than apt to do their share toward bringing and maintaining the prosperity that all are so anxious to enjoy. . "The'increase of business and industrial activities in all lines seems to be one that not so much depends upon foreign markets as ! upon a healthy and normal return of prosperity, bringing normal conditions that will be maintained by home consumption. The war of course is a great influence toward increasing business in the eastern states. War orders are a huge item in the scheme of ex istence for eastern communities, but their direct effect upon the Pacific coast and especially the northwest is almost a negligible quantity. When business re turns to the normal here it will not be because of the war, but because of local improvements. Prosperity facts present them selves, why not accept them at face value?"
