AMERICUS Agent WORRIED
whom TO PAY POLICY
Wonders Who viii Be Jones'
BENEFICIARY

An Americas insurance agent, whose
naem is withheld at his earnest re-
quest, recently secured the application
OF a Sumter county farmer, Jones bv
name, for a policy and gladly escorted
that esnsible individual before the ex-
smining physician. In the process Of
filing out the papers, Mr.. Jones was
asked to name his nearest relatives,
that they might be designated as ben
eficiaries he explained as follows:
Il met widow, and married her
She had a stepdaughter My father, a
widower, visited us and married the
step daughter. My wife became the
mother-in-law of her father-in-law,
and my step-daughter my stepmother
My father is my stepson.
After a while my stepmother, the
stepdaughter of my wife, had son
This boy is my brother, being my
fathers son, but he is also the son of
my wife's stepdaughter, and so her
grandson Therefore l am my broth
er's grandfather.
Then my wife had daughter. Ny
mother-in-law IS her stepsister AMI
also her grandmother, because she is
her stepson's cvhild. My father is the
brother of my daughter, who is also
the daughter of my grandmother. I am
MY mothers brother-in-law, my wife
is her own childs aunt, my daughter is
MY alther's niece, and l am my own
grandfather"
When Mr.. Jones finished the above
simple and easily understood state
ment on his family relations, the doc
tor had collapsed and the agent taen
to the woods. The applicant is waiting
for some one to come along and de8-
ignate his beneficiary, so that he can
&C ahead and insure.

THE SOUTH AS A FIELD
FOR BEEF PRODUCTS

conditions. The half breed calves do
not fatten out as well as calves of a
higher graded, but if permitted to grow
until two or three years of age they
finish out as very good beef animals.
The half breed heifers when bred to
beef bulls usually produce excellent
calves.
No section Of the country can raise
cattle as cheaply as the south and the
variety and prices of feeds are such
that the animals can be economically
finished for the market. The forage
plants, especially sorghum and corn,
make such a luxuriant growth in the
southern ATTITUDES that large yields Of
silage can be produced per acre. The
silage is an excellent feed for winter
ing the breeding herd, or for finishing
the animals for the market. The use
Of silage in fattening ration almost
invariably increases the size of the dali
ly gains, cheapens the gains, lengthens
the period during which cattle can be
fed cottonseed meal economically and
without danger, and results in better
finish, fatter cattle and greater pro-
fits per head. The Ieguminous hays as
alfalfa, cowpea, lespedeza, red clover
and vetch, and the corn stover and oat
straw are good rough feeds to use in
conjunction with silage.
The Shorthorn, Aberdeen-A Angus
Hereford, Red Polled and Devon breeds
of cattle all do well in the south. The
ShorthOrn does well on all lands where
the pastures are good and feed is p1el-
tiful. The COWS usually prove to be
very good mixers, giving milk enough
for the calf and to supply the home as
well. The result of the good milking
qualities Of the COWS is usually a good
growthy calf. The Herefords and An
gus are good grazers and will do well
under range conditions, as well as on
the small farm. The Hereford stands
ahead Of all breeds as a range animal
but the Angus have the advantage over
all breeds in the feed-lot, as they fin
sh out very smoothly, are high in quail

ity and kill out high percentage c.
marketable meat. The Devon is slow
er of growth than the other breeds,
but are great rustlers and fatten on
pastures which are so thin that some
of the beef breeds could hardly sub
sist. The Red Polled is a dual pur-
pose breed which ranks next to the
milking strain of Shorthorns in the
production of milk and beef. They are
not as well known or as popular as
the Shorthorn, but have done well
wherever tried in the south. Any Of
the breeds cross we'll with the native
cattle, and can be used advantageously
in breeding up the scrub herds.
By the eradication of the cattle tick,
the use of good pure-bred beef bulls.
the improvement of the pasture lands
and a closer study of the cattle bust
ness, the south will develop into e
great cattle raising section, and should
contribute largely to the supply OF
meat in the next two decades. In no
case should high-priced, high-bred
stock be brought from tick-free terri
tory until the farm upon which thev
are to be kept has been rid of ticks.

DUNCAN CELEBRATES XMAS
HOLIDAYS WITH BIG DANCE.

Hobbs Hall is Scene of Many Enter
tanning Dances-M emorable Dance
is Held on Evening of Christ
mas Day.
Duncan's people celebrated the Christ
mas holidays with many entertain
ments, prime among which were
number of dances, especially memoir
able among the latter being the great
ball given at Hobbs Hall on the even
ing of Christmas Day, when many
hundreds of happy dancers thronged
the large dancing hall to its capacity,
joyously engaging in the blithesome
steps almost until the dawn was
breaking over the mountains above
the ella. The best of Duncan's local
talent furnished the music for the
occasion, and refreshments were liber-
ally served throughout the evening,
especial provision having been made
for the pleasure of the many attend
ants. The attendance was from all
the communities surrounding the
little ella Valley town, from Rich
mond and other New Mexico COM
munities, to points in the lower ella
valley. Many former residents of
Duncan were present, having come to
Duncan to spend the holidays. All
were united in the opinion that never
had a more widely attended and en-
joyable dance been held in Duncan.
Another very pleasurable dance
was that held at Hobbs Hall on the
evening OF December 81, the New Year
being welcomed with the happiness of

one will include the Clifton-Morenci
and Clifton-Metcalf roads; division
number two will include the Clifton
Duncan road of the distance from
Clifton to York Flat; division number
three will include the Clifton-Dun-
can road from York Flat to Duncan
and also the Duncan-Richmond road;
division number four will include the
roads in the town of Duncan, the
roads between Duncan and Franklin,
and the roads between Duncan and
Ash Peak.
Also under the new proposed ar
rangement, each road division of the
county would be maintained, repaired,
ETC., by an unchanging and regularly
employed number of men, it being
suggested that the number of men en-
gagged in this work upon each of
the sections would be practically as
follows: Three men employed on
section number one, and two men
each on the other three sections of
the county. One horse and cart
would be supplied for the use of the
men of each section. All men of the
four sections would be under the su-
pervision of the County Road Super
as at present.
1t appears that under this plan
more systematic and favorable con-
ditions would be. obtained.

CHANGES IN METHODS OF
COUNTY ROAD MAINTENANCE
Needs are For More Systematic
Method of Disposal of Forces in
Road Maintenance.

1t is probable that the county SUI
pervisors, at some time next week,
will approve certain suggestionsmade
by county engineer Tunis in regard
to changes in the methods of main
tanning the various roads Of the
county. At present the roads are
kept in condition by forces of men
that vary in number, it being difficult
to properly and adequately maintain
the roads with an equal amount of
labor and funds expended upon each
road, as the men engaged in main
tenance are of necessity, under the
present methods, so stationed that
their removal from one portion of the
county to another requires time and
expense that could be avoided.
The proposal to be submitted to the
supervisors embodies the provisions
that the roads of the county be so
subdivided into sections that travel
ing of workmen from one section to
another may be avoided. This is to
be accomplished by making four road
divisions of all the roads of the
county, these divisions being desig-
mated as follows: Division number
