They are making the State Pig Club slogan "Better Hogs and More Pr .fit" a reality. The following letter was just received by State Pig Club Agent L. J. Allen of the 0. A. C. Ex tension Service from Wendell Van Loan of Monmouth: "I am writing to tell you of my success. I have my father interested in my work and he said I could do better work if I had better pigs. So I sent for a pair of registered Chester White pigs. I will pay $28.00 for the pair." Wendell purchased his pigs from Ed Schoel. The sow is from a Grand Champion sow and the male from a show sow. Mr. Schoel offers him a prize of a fine pig if he is successful. Johnny Stump of Monmouth who won three blue ribbons over the breeders of the state at the State Fair last fall, a scholarship to the Oregon Agricultural Col lege in. tie boys1 contest and a pure bred sow in the boys' swine judging contest, will be in the work with his Berkshires again.

Independence, Oregon Found A Watch IT look ai if it belongs to t substantial citizen. It feels that warf toot It's smooth and will and thin. It slips into your ppefcet like a silver dollar and lies there snug aill fl;l. It keeps good time. It's the kind of watch your friends check their time by that always gets you to your train while it m still in the station. I've been looking for that watch for years. I know my customers want a mall, thin, accurate, 4- jewel wa tc h t but until now the price of such a watch has been mora than many of them cared to pay. That's why this new one is such a find. It is the "Waterbury Watch", a new hgtrim, and the price is just about a third what you Mini It would be. W t thru dollar t. Walker & Sons
