Everybody 10 taking better live
stock, but after all the talking IL over
1t 10 not much clearer to the average
farmer how he is TO get any better live
stock than II was before. He 10 con.
WINGED that he needs better live stock,
but hundred-dollar bull costs Just as
much as 1t formerly did II Ia not
economical for q single farmer In a
community to buy high-priced bull
to use in the improvement Of his own
| herd of perhaps half dozen animals,
and when such an individual happens
to become inspired with sufficient am
bition to make a purchase, his efforts
are rarely backed up by the enthusi-
asm and appreciation of his neighbors,
and the valuable animal. after very
meager service extending through the
space OF about three years, generally
is sent away to be slaughtered even
before his true value is known.
The only economical solution of this
difficulty is to be found in the pur-
chase of a community bull, in which
the entire farming community will be
interested, and to which all of the
breeding animals of the community
will have access. This makes possible
the owning OF a first-class bull at but
a very small cost to any individual,
and 1t also gives the bull much
greater field OF usefulness. The
average pure-bred bull owned by an
individual in a community is rarely
we'll enough patronized to justify his
maintenance; mainly because there is
not the community interest back of
him. On the other hand, the bull in
which the whole community is inter-
ested is given an opportunity to i'm
prove Immediately the type of cattle
owned, granting that he is the individ-
ual he ought to be. The first crop of
calves following his appearance in the
community will carry fifty per cent of
his blood One community is recalled
into which Poll Durham bull was in
troduced a few years ago. The first
year he was not so strongly favored,
but Just as soon as his first crop OF
calves began showing their superiority,
which was evident, he became very
popular, and since that time has not
lacked appreciation, and today the
entire beef cattle population Of the
community reflects his influence.
The buying of one thoroughly first
class bull in a community of the breed
that the community likes best will
mean more of the immediate improve
ment of the cattle of the community,
at less expense, and will stimulate a
greater interest in better live stock
than any other one thing.

crop only after decaying, which takes

Plan - Make Literary So

an Elective

vile college defeated the Central
High school team on the local
diamond last Saturday. One of
the features of the game was a
three base hit by Galloway, of
the opponents. Kelly got three
hits out of four times up. The
score was 8 to l in Maryville's
Six hits were made by each side.
Last Friday Emmett Fitzpatrick
made his inaugural speech as
president of the Athenian Liter
airy society. His remarks were
of an historical nature. He told
of the doings of the society since
its organization nearly a half
century ago.
A movement hasIbeen on foot
for some time to increase interest
in the literary societies. One
present disadvantage is that en-
tertainments break into society
work. A proposed plan lis that
all society meetings be on either
Saturday or Friday, and. that no
entertainment shall ever be held
on that night. The authorities
propose to further aid the society
work by having an advisory pro-
lessor for each society. Then
some credit will be givenefor So
ciety work as an elective study.
These professors in charge will
be English instructors who will
have been elected by that time.
The plans are only in the making
but a definite result may be
looked for and that result will be
a distinct advance in literary
work on the hill.
On Monday mig It Sidney Ian
don, the impers orator, appeared
on the hill.
The baseball team left Monday
morning on an important trip.
Tuesday they played the Castle
Heights team at Lebanon. The

Next Tuesday night the music
department will render its annual
Easter Cantata. This time it is
Calvary, by Vessel. The col
lege extends cordial invitation
to town people to attend.
The Bainonians installed their
newly elected officers last We'd

the new president. Miss Anna
