The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1916-06-22

Large numbers of purebred live
stock are now being brought into this
state from other states. Most Of these
animals are sires but many are mature
females. This introduction is apt to
continue for an indefinite period
This state has now quite number
of local breeders, some of whom rank
with the best in any state, but the
majority are still in the developing
stage or mere amateurs. These men
are, and will continue more to be,
contenders for this trade in pedtgreed
live stock, not only in this state but
also in adjoining and more distant ter
ritory.
Will they be able to successfully
compete with our present dominant
source of supply, i. e., the Middle
West?
What will be necessary in order that
they may expect to secure this bust
ness?
These are questions, the answers to
which should be receiving serious
thought by those already taking and
proposing to take steps in the regis
tered live stock industry.
We cannot hope to have the history
Of this state materially different from
that of other states in this regard-in
fact, for the many who start, the few
remain and develop into real breeders.
The man who wants to become sue

cessful breeder of live stock must have
the courage or the capital to buy
goods, but not necessarily costly foun-
dation stock. He must have the de-
termination and ability to see 1t
through. He must produce that quail
ity of animals demanded by the dis
eliminating buyer. That is, his herd or
flock must possess the necessary
breeding to insure a uniformly good
Offspring and he must present them to
the purchasing public in such state OF
development as to be above criticism.
Even with these requisites, ready
sale of surplus stock may not be se-
cured, If the breeder has increased the
size of his holdings rapidly. There is
no regular market where registered
stock may be shipped and sold, so that
the breeder must consider methods OF
letting the world know Of his product.
Naturally, as good animals are dis
tributed from his farm, they become
the best possible sort Of advertising.
1t is also advisable, as progress Is
made, to exhibit specimens from his
herds and focks at county, district and
state fairs.
The carrying of paid advertising in 4
reliable mediums will be a great aid
in any stage of a breeders develop
ment. Conservative and persistent use
Of such space, will practically spell
success, If he does the rest of his work

burn, few had returned. Finally John E. Barrett, the only man who had ever scaled the peak, consented to join her. A party of four they set out, got close to the top, were overtaken by a storm and forced to return without accom- plishing their purpose.
 Miss Keen is not the sort of person who gives up an undertaking. The following May found her ready to start again. But her former escorts were not to be found.
 As she was casting about for others a man whom she had met once and casually, volunteered to join the party.
 With some mistrust of my own judgment" records Miss Keen, T brought a German from Cordoya, Mir G. W. Handy, to be one of the expe- dition."
 So much for the discernment of the intuitive sex!
 How Handy Made Good.
 George w. Handy Is the son of a German army officer, and a natural ized citizen of the United States Trained in German technical school seasoned as a soldier in German Southwest Africa, twenty odd years ago he left his country for good. After that he was in turn cowboy in Texas, miner in South America, trader and traveller in Mexico and California. Fin ally arriving in Alaska, he settled down there as mining engineer.
 Such was the man who was, with misgivings as to his fitness, accepted as a member of the Mount Blackburn expedition.
 AS it went on, he proved his worth. It was Handy who encouraged the wind-beaten and snow-blinded men when they faltered on their upward road. It was Handy who, when they were forced to sleep in the snow huts with the thermometer at sixteen below zero was always cheerful and seem ingly untired. It was Handy who, as food grew scarcer and storms fiercer was merely inspired to greater dar- ing and determination.
 One by one the other six men lost their courage or their strength, and had 10 be left behind, till at last Dora Keen and Handy and the dog were left alone. They plodded on, in con stant imminent danger from ava lanches and crevasses.
 There came the time when the man saved the woman from destruction in the snowslide. They waited then to breathe a moment and to steady their shaken nerves, then resumed the climb.
 At last they stood together on the summit where no two human beings had ever stood before.
 The Story's Surprising Sequel.
 They came down again. Handy went back to his mining work Miss Keen returned to Philadelphia and wrote the story of her climb. It is a long, bare. unadorned account a simple statement of facts. If, in Ger heart, the woman was making the man the hero of it, no one had dis comment enough to read as much be tween the lines.
 Four years went by Society had forgotten the Mount Blackburn eX- petition. And then, thls June, Mias Keen set out once more for Alaska. taking her sister Florence along With her
 \ few weeks later society was sur prised Miss Florence Keen had gone along to be bridesmaid!
 in Mccarthy, Alaska, within sight of the pinnacle of Blackburn, where their middle-aged romance began so strenuously, Dora Keen ana George W Handy were married.

THE LOVE-kILLING GIRL.

Beware of
 The girl whose face appears to have been pushed into barrel full of flour
 Who powders extra heavily below the eyes.
 Who dresses in wild creations of sartorial splendor and "advanced' gar ments of the Theda Bara vampire type merely to gain reputation as "high flyer"
 Who wears skirts up to her knees and would like to wear them higher if the law didn't interfere.
 Who has nothing to speak of under her skirt so that she suggests the e1- feet of walking about in night gown And when the wind blows-weil, she likes it.
 Who cultivates tango and fox trot walk because "every little movement has a meaning of its own.'
 Who stays out late at night. Who has men friends notorlousiy loose, loud and lewd. Who disguests all friends that would be worth while. Who avoids all that is good and sweet in life on the score 1t Is old fashioned.
 Who knows how to keep secrets especially regarding herself. Who tries to work up halo as smarty in the smart set. Who tells mother mot to worry pe' cause she knows "when to stop. Who tells father she's her own boss and earns enough money for her keep Who tries to be 1916 model on 1916 salary, and who gets there be cause she has given stones instead ol bread to foolish males. Who never reads anything reoarine brain action but goes in strong fol stories with "Parisian flavor and o1 a forbidden savor. Who makes a burlesque out Of life on the pretext of pleasure.

AMERICAN IDEALS.

Why do Americans in general sym pathize with England, France and Bel gium and withhold their sympathy from Germany and Austria? Accord ing to Charles w. Eliot, former presi- dent of Harvard, who is perhaps the dearest American thinker now devot ing his attention to the war, it is sim ply because of our American ideals. And what are American ideals? Ir. Eliot presents a definite catalogue of them. Here they are, for patriots ard scoffers alike to study.
 First come our religious ideals, fo1r in number:
 1. No connection between church and state.
 2. No religious organization exer- cising domination over the political ac- tion of individuals or groups.
 3. For the individual no disabilities and no privileges on account of his re- ligion.
 4. For the state not only federation for all varieties of religion, but pro, tection and fostering for all.
 Then our six political ideals:
 1. Government resting on the con sent and cooperation of the governed ?. Manhood suffrage.
 3. The elective executive.
 4. Just and equal laws.
 5. The general good.
 $. The popular assembly, demo cratic or representative.
 He likewise finds six great socia ideals, as follows:
 1. Universal education, not con fined to childhood.
 ?. A mobile social state in which the individual is free to do his best and to enjoy the fruits of his efforts.
 3. The habitual expectation oi more truth, light and good for man kind.
 4. Publicity.
 5. Efficiency through freedom an' discipline in which free men co operate.
 6. Widely diffused private prop erty protected by equal laws.
 "Any thoughtful person." says Dr Eliot, "who gets a firm hold upoi these American ideals-religious, DO litical and social-will have no diff ficulty in deciding to which side Il the great European war his owi hopes and wishes tend"
 Great Britain and France, he adds have almost the same ideals, thougi Britain lags little in their attain ment. The great colonial members O the British empire have really attaine' the ideals of our own democracy. Or the other hand, the ideals of the cen tIal monarchies, with their divin rfghtsof5 kings and their feudal sys tefrsbolstered by force, and their ide' ofl'the state as supreme over the in dividual, are the very opposite of ours
