on hand to inspect Mr.. Harp's valu
able acquisitions. He is doing a
great service to the livestock interests
Of the Western Slope by placing the
very best blood at the head of the
herds and this move is indicative of
the pride and energy he possesses.
This move should be only the start
ing for many more such on the part
Of the other breeders of this section.
The shipment above mentioned
consists of six bulls and sixteen COW S
divided in the Shorthorn and Here
ford breeds. Every animal in the
herd is pure strain with pedigree of
the breed it represents. These pure
bloods are to be taken over and put
on Simp Harp's big ranch at Meeller.
The herd was purchased at Ottawa,
Kansas.

A Few Hints to the Chill
dren Writing Advertisements

Don't try to follow the time worn
style. Don't be afraid to say some
thing you never heard said. Try to
say something new-no matter if it
may. seem silly or childish. The
more. original it is--the quicker it
will catch the eve-and that's what
the advertisement is intended for.
DON'T try to say too much because
busy people will not take time to
read too much. You can get IDEAS of
catchy styles in the Sunday papers
or in the magazines, but the best way
is to get the idea and then say some
thing new.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous q dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself. although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A phySi-
elan should always be called. 1t
should be borne in mind, however,
that pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of the grip,
and that by giving Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy the threatened attack
of pneumonia may be wardcd off.
This remedy is also used by physi-
clans in the treatment of pneumonia
with the best results. DIR. w. J.
smith of Sanders, Ala, who is also Il
druggist, says of it: Il have been
selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice for
the past six years. use it in cases
of pneumonia and have always gotten
the best results" Sold by all drug
gists.

Some Fine Cattle.

In II cattle country like the White
River valley it is quite natural to eX-
pect most everyone to be interested
in the stock business, but here and
there one may find n man who seems
to take IL little more interest in the
cattle industry than the average per-
son. One who appears to try just Il
little harder than his neighbors to
bring his herd up to the highest pos
sible standard-who is not entirely
satisfied with anything short of
thoroughbred stock.
In casting about, it is doubtful if
one would find anyone in the county
who is more of an enthusiast or who
takes more pride in fine blooded
stock than Fl. S. Harp. Just say
thoroughb bred stock to Simp and, no
matter how busy he may be, he will
stop, his eyes will begin to sparkle
and dance and you have secured his
undivided attention. He is a ready
listener and is also prepared to ex-
press his views on the subject.
A few days ago a representative of
THE HERALD visited Mr.. Harp's
ranch adjoining town to inspect the
bunch of thoroughbreds he recently
purchased in.Ottowa, Kansas.
The reporter arrived just at feeding
time. Simp gave a call or two and
opened the barn door-for he stables
them all every highland the cattle
filed leisurely in of their own accord.
1t was surprising to see how gentle
they were. The stock did not act like
the ordinary range stock where Il fell
low needs a ten-pole fence between
him and the CRITTERS to be sure of
ground. They were all sizes and
ages from calves Il few weeks old and
weighing Il 100 or 200 pounds up to
cows four or five years of age and
weighing 1900 or better. He has one
big ShorthOrn cow-a four-year-old-
he said weighed between l 100 and 1900.
This was rather staggering and the
writer thought at first that Simp
was getting excited but he stuck to
itand the story was finally swallowed.
In the barn there We're 8 Herefords
and IA Shorthorns.
The bulls came in for their share of
attention next. Here too, We're
found all sizes and ages. One big
white face weighing nearly 2300, is
said to be the largest Hereford west
of the Missouri river.
All together Mr.. Harp has 30 head
of registered stock-2O Shorthorns
and 10 Herefords. The demand for
thoroughbred bulls has been so great
recently that he contemplates ship
ping in another carload soon. Lovers
of fine stock will do well to take a
look at this herd of cattle when they
find it convenient. They will see a
sight that will do them good. The
Rifle Telegram in speaking of the
car of cattle lately received, says:
''This is the choicest consignment
of high-priced livestock that has ever
been unloaded at thispoint and many
of the breeders OF this vicinity were
