STOLE MONEY FROM BANK

Atlanta Ga, Feb. 26.-"The woman

excuse was trotted out with no orig
inality but with some color of appro-
priateness today by R. B. Stribling, a
young Atlanta man, who confessed 70
forging draft for 81 900, but declared
that he was forced into it by sweet
heart whose love of autos, tangoinE,
ice-cream sodas and theatre tickets
was not to be appeased by his modest

cashed the money at Gainesville

alleged, with a forged telegram, os-
tensibly coming from a local bank and
declaring that he had funds to meet it.

WILL IMPROVE The BREEDS
Cattle Tick the Greatest Hindrance to

Costs Over $1oo,ooo,oCo Annually
Prominent Men at Conven-
ton Discuss Best Plans
Tick Must Go.

The Southern Cattlemen's associa-
ton was organized at Montgomery,
Ala, July g. 1913. A hundred or more
cattle growers and shippers, national
and state live stock officials and rep
resentatives of the stock yards and
railroad interests were present and
took an active interest in the organ,
ization of the association.
The avowed object of the associa-
ton are as follows:
l. The eradication of the cattle
tick.
2. The development of profitable
cattle industry in the south.
3. The promotion of effective and
uniform national and state live stock
sanitary legislation.
The means which have been sug-
gested for the accomplishment of
these objects are in part as follows:
l. The holding of meetings for the
discussion of live stock problems and
the dissemination of live stock infor-
nation. 2. The organization of local
or county associations which will pro-
mote the work of tick eradication and
the Improvement of the cattle of the
locality by the introduction of pure
bred bulls. 3. By assisting the small
live stock producer in marketing his
products.
1t has been suggested that an active
field agent may be employed by the
association to assist local cattlemen
in the attainment of these purposes.
At Memphis, Tenn, on December
10th and 18th, 1918, the first regular
meeting was held and a constitution
and bylaws adopted fixing the an
nual membership dues at $500 per an
mum. At that meeting a large num-
Der of cattlemen were in attendance
from all the southern states, from
Kentucky to Florida and from Vir-
ginia to New Mexico, and enthusiasm
ran high. Every southern cattleman
owes it as his duty to join this as

men and merchants can we'll afford

CARNATIONS, together with prominent
stock men and farmers of the south.
Some of the things advocated at
the convention are:
l. That the railroads put cheaper
rates on breeding cattle.
2. That the government stop all
interstate shipment of tick-infested
cattle. This includes cattle on the
way to market for immediate slaugh-
ter as well as animals being used for
stocking purposes.
Resolutions were passed soliciting
the cooperation of the oil mills of
the south in building up the cattle
industry and suggesting to the bank
ers of the south the Importance of
making cattle basis of credit.
Professor Holden, director of Ag-
ricultural Extension Department Of

of the southern cattlemen the begin
ming of successful live stock growing
on a large scale and the opening gun

Prominent Cattle Grower Urges
Southern Farmers to Raise Cattle
Conserve Soil Fertility, by Grow

BY A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle
Grower, Cascade, Va.

Grower, Cascade, Va.
AS our country grows older other
problems besides securing the pres
man who handles the soil, and to the
thinking men of the south, soil con-
servation stands in a class by itself
as our most pressing problem and
practical means looking to this end
demands from year to year an ever
increasing proportion of our thought
The crop that is Indigenous to a
country is not always the crop that
continues TO be held in the highest es-
TEEN by the leading thinking men of
that section. For instance, in the
finest blue grass section of Indiana
know a leading live stock raiser and
feeder who is discarding blue grass
very largely for timothy herds grass
and sapling clover as pasture crops,
because of the greater amount of
feed the new pasture crops are pro-
ducing. SO while the grass has not
been much in evidence upon the farms
over much of the south up to this
time the change of sentiment that is
everywhere present among our peo-
pie regarding the care of the soil leads
US to believe that the matter will be
tried out in large way during the
next ten years.
Grow More Grass.
And where the trial is intelligently
made grass will surely follow, for
abundant rainfall, much sunshine, a
fair quality of soil and lime makes
grass growing. We have the rainfall
and sunshine ever with us, the skele-
tom of a good soil is ours yet and a
million or two tons of lime are within
Our borders awaiting our awakening.
