There are prixe pens and individual an imals that must compel attention; prixe herds, and cattle, sheep and swine by the carload lots. One o f the individual animals that has created unusual attention ia a registered Duroc Jersey barrow, named Woodrow Wilson. It is but 16) months o f age and already has attained a weight o f 700 pounds. The students’ judging contest was concluded with the result that Wash ington State college won with a score of 2122 points. Oregon Agricultural college was second, Idaho third and California fourth. The judging was made and the men given 80 points for perfect judgment and 20 for a perfect reason. Judging at the F ifth Annual Pacific International Livestock exhibition was concluded in Holsteins, Jerseys, Ayr- shires and Guernseys, in the cattle ex hibits. Cotawolds and Lincolns were the only two classes of sheep that were judged in which there was competition and two breeds o f swine, Berkshire! and Poland Chinas, received their awards. A few classes o f the Short horns remain to be judged. The biggest thing on the program was the auction o f the fa t stock. The chief attraction in the collection o f fat cattle and the animal that w ill first fall under the auctioneer's hammer is the grand champion Shorthorn steer from the University o f Idaho. This animal has never !ost in any o f the classes in which he has been entered and has invaded classes in which ap peared steers of greater age and has competed with many prize steers dur ing his short life.

McCrosskey, Fishtrap, Wash., one o f the best known breeders in the Northwest. F. W.

Rena, beaming, effusive, held out both her hands, caught his and laid her dark head against his shoulder. "Oh, H a ll!” 'she breathed. Hall tried unsuccessfully to free himself. "W hat's the matter now?” he asked. She looked fondly up into his face "Oh, Hall, didn’t you understand what [ said over the phone?” A sudden thought came to him, a desperate expedient. Any stick to beat a dog with; any excuse, however ri diculous. would do for a quarrel with this clinging sickening female. He must get rid of her.

He dropped like a log upon a chair, in amazement. She had demolished hts whole towering pose at a word. For a moment he was unable to speak Then she looked at him very archly. ’’ Hall," she said, "don't you think I ’m prettier than usual tonight? Or do I imagine It because I'm so awfully happy?" The question pricked him Into life. He looked at her coldly, snd In des peration made another attempt to goad her Into anger. “ By Jove.
