PURE-BRED CATTLE ARE BEST

A well-selected breed Of pure-bred
cattle is source of much pleasure as
well as profit, but to be successful de-
tails must not be overlooked. Many
breeders and beginners are too care
less. They keep no accurate records
of births, neglect their cattle, fail to

are often caught with lot of surplus

way to dispose Of surplus stock is by

Washington, July 30.-A statement

at the White House. 1t reviews
every contest before the Republic

1t is the longest and probably the
most emphatic political statement
ever put out from the executive man

oughness and care to damn the argu-
ments of the third party men and
spike the guns of the Democrats who
may seek to make campaign matter
out of the former presidents charges.
