Centennial EXPOSITION A
STRONG EDUCATIONAL FACTOR

One of the strongest drawing cards
for any large exposition is always It's
educational possibilities. With the
Mississippi Centennial these posslo1l'
tiles have doubled in value since it IS
the means by which Mississippians
will be placed for the first time in full
touch with the Hmitless promises OF
their own State, while outsiders viii
stand amazed as at sight Of o new
world
Here in every department will be
found the highest perfection yet at
tanned in Observation-Disclosures, me-
chanical, artistic, domestic, ingenui-
ties, stock, poultry, everything worth
while. The best manufacturers. from
all the world over will bring their fin
est products here to be admired and
emulated
For the young people and many OF
the old there will be liberal educa-
ton In the sight Of countless things
before undreamed of. Electrical and
mechanical contrivances and new farm
implements will be inspiration for
newer and better inventions.

MISSISSIPPI HAS THE CHAMPION HEREFORD BULL
sWhere One Can Be Grown Successfully There Is
No Reason Why Many More Should
Not Be Produced

plant In the State Is kept running full
time with ample room for the estab'
lishment of other like enterprises.
Among the many agencies actively
engaged in this campaign OF live stock
education, and by far one OF the most
potent factors, has been an intelligent
and energetic citizenship which has
eagerly seized upon and made the
most Of it's opportunities. A lions
share Of the credit for the remarkable
forwardness shown in such lines must
truthfully be accorded to the various
State and county fairs which have been
held throughout the State. With po-
tential aim they have brought all the
States best possibilities and lined
them up in full force where the wise
man might see and grasp the benefits
and where even the lightest skeptlc
must give way to the powerful argu-
ment Of his own vision.
This campaign Is only IN It's infancy.
There is still much to be done. The
Mississippi Centennial Exposition OF.
fers at the present time the best
means OF continuing the work and
bringing 1t to the climax to be most de-
sired. Here the progress OF the cen
tury can be shown and the doubter
given an inspiration that will urge him
to an effort to at least equal what has
been accomplished by his more enter
prising neighbor. Here in sight OF the
very best is every department, where
merit meets with merit and excellence
is to be found on every side; the very
pride of statehood must fire man to
competitive effort. and 1t does not
seem that In all Mississippi there
would be a man with soul so close to
earth that he would not feel a sacred
duty to give his own best effort to
add fresh honors to this century Old
commonwealth which has crowned
with glory herself and him!
An invitation Is cordially extended
to every nook and corner of the earth
to take advantage OF this splendid op-
portunity offered to participate In the
unparalleled benefits that will come
to those who will visit this Exposi.
ton. The table is 1uxuriously spread
for the feast and the invitation is
spoken for all to come! But to the
man. women and children OF Missis-
sippi. 1t is meet to further say YOU
CANNOT AFFORD TO STAY AWAY!

The winning of championship for
; Mississippi Is matter OF pride for all
Mississippians and there are probably
] few persons within the border Of our
State who were not proud to know
that the grand champion Here
ford bull, which was the marvel OF
the International Live Stock Show
held at Chicago in 1913, was a Missis-
sippi product.
The bull Point Comfort" the Four
teenth, was raised in Kinds County,
! Mississippi, belonging to LaVernett
Stock Farm, and is living example
of what might be done in every coun-
ty In the State by scientific breeding.
This animal at the great international
Show came in competition with the
very best specimens OF beef stock
from ell sections of the New World.
He was a distinct surprise to the
Northern exhibitors by whom Missis-
ssippi had never been looked to for pos
ssible competition, but after the judges
had carefully examined the merits OF
Them to do but award the champion
ship OF the Western Hemisphere TO
s.'Point Comfort" who wore his blue
ribbon with prideful mien as though
Saware OF the fact that he was adding
*unguessed laurels TO his native State.
Gained with this championship was
ssofffcial recognition of the fact that
mississippi and the South can produce
.Lhe best beef animals to be found in
The world despite a mistaken impress
sion long existant and widely spread,
THAT their country is not adapted to
the production Of the heavy beef
#Dreeds. This award, heralded to all
parts of the earth by the wide-awake
Aoress. has been worth millions Of dol
] lars to the people Of the South by way
of exploding a false impression and
ssoloiting one of the most profitable
ources of this section By 1t the az.
Iention of live stock men everywher<
has been called to the fact that Mis-
] ssissippi offers unequaled advantages
TOR the production OF the very best
stock
An unawakening also to our own
speople many Of whom thus became
alive for the first time to the undis-
puted fact that this State offers ev-
cry advantage for the development OF
zthe live stock industry along broad
land liberal lines, and that sensible
diversification OF our products will
necessarily be based upon live stock
aas a foundation. What one man had
sdone may well be done by others who
possess sufficient initiative to seize
their opportunity. While every man
might not be able to produce grand
schampion, certain it is that the small
.st farmer may grow as good beer
animal as the world produces and
may command as high price for this
product as IL it had been raised on
sfen thousand acre ranch.
