ment OF the live stock oi the county
TO be present. All kinds oJ live
stock have become too valuable foi
US to rock along in the same old
way we have for the last few de-
cades. We should make some move
at once 10 improve all kinds of live
stock Of the county. We cant hope
to improve "a We should unless We
cooperate with one another, and 10
do this there is no other OF better
way than through county organi-

So. come ont to the meeting and
let us talk the matter over lay our

Some people think that because
Dickson County is classed as one OF
the poorer counties Of the State.

stock Of any kind is good enough
for her Now. il you have ever had
an idea like this IN your head, |
hope that il has already vanished.
| say that there is Zone too good
for Dickson County; no breeds OF
any kind. The only thing is that
we must get acquainted with the
different breeds, give them better
attention and better feed. and they
will do as well for us as they will
for any one in any other county OF
the state.
Now, we are going to haye q
County Fair this fall. and, We want
to get everyone interested in it..
There is inspiration in a good Coun-
ty Fair. and We hope that everyone
will become enthused. You know
that a County Fair calls for better
live stock; better live stock calls for
better farming; better farming calls
for better towns, and better towns
will make a better county So we
are all yitally interested.
Let US all pull for the same--a

Self Sacrifice.

No man has ever sacrificed himself
In the common meaning of that phrase,
which Is self sacrifice for another
alone. Men make daily sacrifice for
others, but it is for their own sake
first. They must content their own
spirit first. A man must feel better
for doing a duty than he would for
Sinking 1t.
Take the case of the Berkeley Cas-
tie, British troopship crowded with
soldiers and their wives and children
There was room In the boats for the
women and children only. The colonel
lined up his regiment on the deck and
said, 1T Is our duty to die that they
may be saved There was no muir
muir, no protest. The boats carried
away the women and children. When
the death moment was come the colo
mel and his officers took their several
posts, the men stood at present" and
so, as ON dress parade, with their flag
flying and the drums beating, they
went down, sacrifice to duty for
duty's sake. They were soldiers with
soldiers pride-a soldiers self re-
spect. They had to content soldiers

INTEREST TAKEN IN
SOLDIERS CANTEENS
QUEEN MOTHER HERSELF TAKES
CHARGE OF THE URN
OF COFFEE


LONDON, Jan. queen AleXand-
taken particular interest in the work
Of the soldiers canteens which furn-
ish coffee and sandwiches free to all
men in uniform at the principal Lon
don railway stations. On several oc-
casions the queen mother has insist
ed on taking a turn at the coffee urn.
serving the customary hour-and-a-half
trick with the other voluntary work
ers at one or another of the stations
The soldiers seldom recognize her
highness for some time, and she takes
especial delight in serving them incog-
nito and receiving their Thank, you,
misus," just as it is given to the other
workers in the canteen.
Perhaps the best of the queens Gus
toners was a Kentish farmer, who
looked in at the London Bridge sta
ton canteen one foggy night He was
evidently neither a soldier nor sailor
and was distinctly not in uniform But
somebody whispered to him that the
queen mother was serving coffee He
approached one of the other wait
resses and asked If, supposing he gave
a little money to the cause, the queen
would give him a cup of coffee with
her own hand. Queen Alexandria
readily concurred So the farmer
from Kent had his coffee and then,
coming inside the counter, he wrote
out a check for s25.
Soon after he took his train for Kent
and the next thing heard from him
was in the form of check for $3.50,
being money which he had raised in
subscriptions among his neighbors. A
fortnight later he appeared in person
with $125 more, and declared that he
was not going to rest until he had
brought his total contribution up to
$1,000.
