 Will Meet Aug. 18- 20

The third annual meeting oi the Southern Cattlemen's As sociation will be held at Bir- mingham, Ala, August IS, 19 and 20, 1915. Special reduced passenger rates for the round trip have been secured on all lines in the territory of the Southwestern Passenger Asso- citation, and Summer tourists rates, ? cents a mile, from points in Southwestern Passen- ger Association.
 On the program are a large number of men who are prom inent among the cattlemen of the South because they have done things. The program is one of instruction, because we have passed the stage where we need to be told what to .do," we now want to be told "how to do"
 A big auction sale of 60 head of pure bred breeding cattle will of itself be liberal education for anyone starting to raise or handle cattle.
 No man interested in the development of the cattle in- dustry in the South can afford to miss this meeting. For pro- gram and other information write the secretary, Tait But Ter, Box 935, Memphis, Tenn.
