Kentucky 80 years ago. He
selected for his herd some
of the best cows from the
choicest herds Of the north,
and placed at the head Of

for two years holding the
proud distinction of champion
bull of America. So great
was the success of the eX-
hibition herd in the show cir
cults that Elmendorf holds
the record for Shorthorn Cat
tie. having in one season the
Grand Champion Bull of
every state, for all shows
made. In 1910 the first Short
horn Cattle sale in Kentucky,
since the days of Col. VIM.
Warheld, was held at Elmen-
dOrf, and was a great sue
cess. In 1911 Elmendorf put
on the show circuit splen-
did herd, principally young
sters raised on the farm, rep
resenting four and five years
hard training and fitting for
the ring. "Elmendorf Mar
SHALL" a proud young son of
"Whitehall Marshall" was eX-
pected to take all honors of
the International Show at
Chicago. Unfortunately, the
entire show herd while on re-
turn trip from Virginia State
Fair was wiped out in
railroad wreck. Since this a
new start had to be made
in the Shorthorn business.
The herd was strengthened
by additions from some of
the choicest blood of Can
ada and of the north, and
with the youngsters of farm
breeding the herd now ranks
as high as any in the coun-
try in individual merit and
good blood lines. The tro-
phies won by the Elmendorf
Shorthorns, Berkshire Hogs,

Sheep would cover wall space

2. Because, with intelligent man

BRAIN WORK AND LONG LIFE

vlded That Element Of Worry
Can Be Eliminated.

English judges, according to Lord
Alverstone, are often at their best
between sixty-five and eighty. The
scientific explanation Of this is that
judges use their brains constantly
and with great concentration, and are
at the same time relieved of worrying
about their material welfare.
Worry hastens death, but hard men,

ener. If you want to live to a good
old age, use your brain. Mental ex-

MARCHING RleAr ALoNn.n

The annual report Of the correspond
ing secretary of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, Mrs.
Frances p. Parks, shows that tho past
year has been one of prodigious activi-
ty among the state organizations.
The passage Of the Kenyon-Webb bill,
removing the shield of federal protec-
ton from the interstate traffic in
liquor, infused new life into the hearts
of many who previously felt that the
enforcement of state prohibition was a
hopeless task. During the year, 1888
new unions were organized and 1913
Loyal Temperance Legions (children's
societies). Twenty-six states made a
gain over all losses in membership.
One organizer crossed the Atlantic
and established unions and Loyal
Temperance Legions in London. A
territorial union and local unions were
organized in Alaska and local unions
in the Yukon territory For the com
ing year, Mrs. Parks says, the w. c..
T. U. cannot do better than to better
90 the things IT has been doing for
four decades, namely: Push scientific
temperance instruction in schools (the
boys and girls of today are the citi-
zens of tomorrow; spread the truth
about prohibition by publishing and
distributing literature, through the
press, and by personal work oppose
efforts for the restoration of the sale
of liquor in the United States army
and in any place from which it has
been banished; guard and protect the
prohibition territory acquired and
steadfastly seek to add to 1t; urge
as a prohibition measure-the ballot
for women.

poor victim suffers a double affliction.
