Hiding Wild Horses in Contest for tho Championship of the Southwest
 at National Corn Exposition.

A revival of the old sport in riding wild horses will be held at Dallas dur ing the Corn Exposition: On February 18th and goth there will be a unique and unusual competition. The Dallas Chamber of Commerce is offering a $500 for the widest. unbroken meanest outlaw horse that is brought to Dallas and entered In this contest There Is no expense whatever in regard to the entry. Anyone can ship a horse to compete for this prize. It is expected that at least 200 horses. the pick of the toughest and widest that has ever been anywhere in the Southwest. Some real sport will be provided when 1t Is understood that there is offered as a rrize s750 silver mounted saddle, bri- dle and spurs to the champion rider, together with the championship belt, which will cost $200; be embossed in solid gold.

Dallas plans to have, during the Corn Exposition. and on the two especial days, February 18th and 20th, a real riding contest, in which the horses as well as the men compete. No detail of formality Is necessary, either for the entry of the horse or the man, but pre- viOus to February 1st. it is expected that every man that wants to enter in this riding contest, or who wants to enter a horse, will notify the Chamber of Commerce by letter and full details and information will be forwarded to him.

they fly towards the light. 1t is not
necessary to over-state its merits.
The truth is sufficient for the boost
er and the knocker is soon located.
Remember a good citizen is easier
to control, a greater worker in the
hive of industry. and far more prof.
liable, than a bad citizen. Hence,
strive to build up the moral tone of
the town and thereby save, in taxes.
Support the schools, libraries and
all educational institutions. An ed
ucated people is the greatest force
in the world and, like the magnet,
attracts the best from elsewhere.
Add to the beauty and healthful-
ness of the town, remember that
the fly is the product of filth and
the mosquito of stagnant water. a
crop of either is easily raised and
that "a thing of beauty is joy for
ever" Take an interest in the po-
litical affairs of your city. to the
end that erafters are kept out of
power and the business Of your
town is honestly and fairly admin
istered. Don't be a knocker but a

The Walnut Stained Boy.

Don't censure the boy whose
hands are discolored with green,
walnut stain. Amy boy that will
put in his idle time after school
hours pounding green walnuts with
a stout club, separating the hull
from its hidden treasure, deserves a
word of praise and a word of en-
couragement. We have a warm
place in our heart for such a boy.
The green walnut is an unfailing
sign that he has ambition and en-
erey and that he has exercised
these sterling qualities by looking
after No. /. He may have stored
walnuts for his own use during the
winter or he may have sold them.
1t really doesn't matter how he dis
poses of them-the strong point in
his favor being that he got them
and has stained hands to prove it.
If in after years he tackles life's
tasks without fear of getting his
hands soiled we'll wager he tastes
of success.-Evansville Courier.

the most important fact we have
seen regarding the effect of the war
on the meat and live stock situa-
ton.
In the most. exclusive restau-
rants in Paris" he writes. you can
buy neither butter, cream, nor milk.

commandeered for the army"
What does it mean to us?
1t means that in France. at least.
the farm herds are swept out of ex-
istence It means that the same
thing exists in all probability in
each of the warning nations. 1t
means that the dairy products will
be scarce in Europe for years after
the war is over. that the local sup
ply of beef will be Obliged to await
the building up Of the herds, that
the breeding animals will be i'm
ported from other countries.

Europe must be remedied by the

we must do our part In the matter
of supplying the breeding animals
and the meats.-Farm and Fireside
