.HIGH-GRA0E CATTLE
FOR LARGE AREAS
Government Looking for Buyers of
Breeding Stock Forced by Dry Sea-
son from Texas Ranges.

Have you enough cattle to make use
of all the cheap forage that is being
produced on your farm this year?
Are you planning to take care of
your corn stover and straw stacks as
you have never done before? If not,
why not?
There is a scarcity OF beef a. 7rices
are high and likely to be higher
If you do not make use of all your
cheap foods this year, the reason will
most likely be because you haven't
enough cattle.
Did you know that on account Of a
very serious drought in Texas and the
southwest, there is going to be heavy
movement Of high-grade beef heifers
and cows from out of that country to
the slaughter pens. if they cannot be
saved for breeding purposes? They
are going at beef prices; yet for beef
production purposes they are quite as
valuable as purebreds. They have
been graded up for fifteen years with
registered Hereford and Shorthorn
bulls until they are practically pure
breds.
Yearlings weighing from 500 to
800 pounds, in fair condition, will cost
from $40 to 500 Two-year-olds, weigh
ing from 700 to 1000 pounds in fair
condition will cos from $50 to $50.
Cows not over six Oars old, weighing
from 700 to about 1000 pounds, in
fair condition, will cost $50 to 500.
The freight cost in car lots will be
about so per head in car lots.
There is no other expense in con-
nection with buying, as the United
States Department of Agriculture will
have a number of men in the Texas
field to inspect and select cattle to fill
any orders that may be sent in. These
cattle will come from tick-free areas,
r will be dipped under government SUI
pervision before being shipped.
It is not advisable to buy these cat
tie in small lots to be kept on restrict
ed areas, for they are not used to con-
finement, but if you could handle car
load or more and would like to know
more about the proposition write the
Division of Extension, University Of
Tennessee, Knoxville. Also report the
names of any owners of large tracts
of grazing land in your county who
might be interested.

THE POTATO COMES BACK.

8 The huge potato crop which the fed
eral forecast indicates will be produc-
I'd in the United States this year
means that this important food sta
pie viii be cheaper, and makes it pos
sible, says the United States Depart
Hment of Agriculture, for American
families that had to cut down on pota-
to consumption because of high prices
70 restore the tuber to a prominent
place on their bill of fare.
The department forecast, based on
reliable estimates from all parts Of
the country places the total yield at
more than 470 million bushels as COM
pared with 2S5 million bushels in 1916
and $50 million in 1915. Potatoes Of
the current season are already on the
market in large quantities and, since
the early harvested tubers cannot be
kept easily, should be eaten more abun-
aantly now if spoilage is to be avoid
ed.
Next to the breadstuffs potatoes are
the most important food crop Of the
WESTERN nations, he department points
out. They are all the more important
now that the worlds wheat supply is
shcrt, since they furnish starch, the
aNncipal food element contributed by
b4ead, and so may be substituted III
hpdrt for bread.
AZ is 70 hardship to America, says
the department, to eat freely of pota-
tpes, rather it has been a hardship
.tN 9ien daring the past la.. year to
ptego somewhat the use of this COM
Fpcg food.

Loyal citizens of the great city Of
Chicago have lost all respect for
their kaiser loving mayor. They have
branded him as a disloyal citizen and
are taking steps to Gust him from
office.
Tuesday night he was burned in
effigy by members of Lloyd Wheat
on Post, No. 40, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, in Grant Park, in the heart Of
the city. Thousands of people wit
messed this act and applauded it to
the echo.
Action against the mayor was asked
by both state and federal authorities
in resolutions at a meeting Tuesday
afternoon of the executive committee
of the National Security League, OF
which the mayor was formerly a mem
Der.
The resolution says:
"In our opinion he (the mayor is
a disloyal citizen. In all of this he has
altogether misrepresented the sent,
ment of the loyal people of his owl
city and the tate. In our opinion, Y
his words and actions since the out;
break of the war, he has adhered to TIL
enemies of his country, giving them alt
and comfort which the constitution Of
the United States declares to be trea-
son."
Soldiers and sailors in uniform help
ed to string up the stuffed figure dres.
sed to represent the mayor
AS the body was drawn up by a.
rope to the cross-arms of a big light
pole across the breast could easil b.
read this placard.: -
"Sie semper big Billibus." h
Beneath it was the official signature:
Veterans of Foreign Wars"
The body hung for half an hour as
the crowds sang and cheered. Finally
several park policemen arrived aad
cut the body down. A spectator grab
bed it and the figure was cast into an
automobile, which was driven up and
down Michigan Boulevard to the roar
of auto horns and the shrieks Of the
crowds.
The Hanging" of the mayor follow
ed a meeting of war veterans, at which
the chief executive was denounced in
bitter terms and resolutions passed
condemning him for his anti-war ut
terances an his aid to the Peoples
Council.

But we must be patriotic-each con-
tribute his or her part, learn to make
sacrifices, and pray that God in mer-
cy and love will put forth His hand
and stay this awful carnage of war be-
fore our boys are drawn into it.
With wishes and prayers to this effect
we bravely turned our thoughts to
brighter things. About five o'clock
supper was served and we again en-
joyed the good things the splendid
housekeepers of the connection had
prepared. After supper the hostess
invited all to assemble in the house for
farewell services. We opened sery-
ices by singing Sweet Bye and Bye"
J. w. Hudson read that wonderful 18th
chapter Of First Corinthians and made
appropriate comments. L. N. Wilson
offered fervent and heartfelt prayer
J. W. Hudson then threw the meeting
open foc any who wanted to say any
thing. W. H. Curlin responded ina
splendid talk. He touchingly referred
to the ones that had passed over the
silent river since the last meeting,
among the number being Mrs. Matte
Curtin and Mrs. L. NJ. Wilson. As their
dear names We're called we could al
most feel tneir gentle presence. Alr
Curtin also spoke Of the love and es-
TEEN we all have fer the host and his
charming wife and family, and Of the
wondeful influence for good hey ex-
erted in the community Others spoke
Of the Dickinson family, of their use
fulness along all lines, and Of how they
were appreciated by friends and loved
ones. Mrs. J. c. Dickinson then stated
that a good many Of the Young peo-
pie know very little about the family
relationship and requested -Irs W

J. c. Dickinson. The occasion Vas az
ways one of the most enjoyable events
of the year, and was eagerly looked
forward to by both old and young.
For some cause Il was not observed
last year, and feeling that something
that meant much was missing from
their lives was felt by each member OF
the large family. When it began to
be talked that they were going to
meet at the Dickinson home August
30th, all of the connection were de-
lighted and began looking forward to
and preparing for the occasion. At
last the day dawned, and by 10 o'clock
cars, carriages and buggies filled with
happy looking men and women, boys
and girls, began to roll into the spa
cious and beautiful lawn-and such
greetings of uncles and aunts and cou-
sins.
1t made one think of heaven and the
greetings and welcomes that will be
given on that happy shore when all
the glad hosts meet up there. The
doors of the beautiful old home We're
thrown wide open and right royalty
did Mr.. and Mrs. Dickinson welcome
the large party into ther home and
hearts, and as each one entered the
reception room an old-fashioned log
fire cracked and sparkled, and SEEM
ed to invite one to come and feel the
glow of its welcome. After all were
assembled, it was found that all of the
living children were present except
Mrs. D. P. Musgrove. All of the chill
dren who had married were represent
ed except Mrs. Frank Robertson of
Crockett Mills. Everyone regretted
the absence Of these members of the
family as they were all greatly loved
Sickness kept them away and many
loving remarks were made about them
There were seventy-fve or eighty
present. Pleasant conversation and
music passed the time swiftly until
dinner was announced. After all were
assembled round the table DR.. j. ".
Hudson returned thanks to God for
his goodness, love and mercy in again
permitting the family to meet together
and for the bountiful feast that we
were about to enjoy, which all came
from Him, nd then dinner-and such
dinnerl The table was fairly groan-
ing with so many good things-barbe-
cue, stew, ham, chicken and kid, all
kinds of pickles and sauces, cakes and
custards of every variety, and all so
we'll prepared that we could but wish
for a larger capacity. After dinner
some of the young people went out
riding, others talked and sang; the
older people enjoyed listening to some
fine songs and instrumental music rem
dered by Mrs. Albert Mann, Mrs. l. G..
Dickinson, Miss Alberta Hudson and
Miss Clint Dickinson.
A feeling Of sadness came over the
group when someone spoke of the war,
for some of the young men had been
accepted and were waiting for their
country's call. Oh, how the shadows

A CALL FOR
THE The RED CROSS

The American Red Cross is not an
entity-a thing in itself. 1t is purely
IN instrument, an arm of the nations
need. 1t is not fashionable club, but
a working club. 1t has no meaning and
claims no place except in the great
common concern of Our Country for
human suffering. And it cannot rise
above the intelligent goodness of the
people in their will, like the Good Sa-
maitan, to stand by and relieve.
1t is not gaudy decoration glued
along the land with red tape. 1T is
the great deep of the American spirit
and the American democracy grieved
for human anguish and getting at
human disaster. 1t withholds no mer-
cy, and it knows no foe.
Brownsville and Haywood county
made a high and clear mark in the
recent National Red Cross Campaign.
Poor and rich, white and black-the
state and the country took notice that
our people were great in response. The
returns were S25,00000, good frac-
tion of the whole S120,000.00 secured.
But we are a somewhat fitful and
hot blooded people Aud while a

garments and other needed articles,
the masses of our mothers and daugh-
ters have turned to their other activ-
tiles of labor and pleasure. A few
men have looked in on the white, busy
place and left-their compliments.
We claim no superior patriotism to
yours. We acknowledge no duty
which is not yours. We are one peo-
pie, with one danger to meet worthi-
ly, one sacrifice to make cheerfully,
one liberty and justice and hope to
achieve unselfshly for our children,
our nation and our neighbor nations.
We congratulate those to whom has
come the signal honor of going to be
our soldiers of freedom" We have
no sympathy with those who would
discourage our young men in meeting
their great duty, and but little pa
thence for any who go about pitying
themselves or those honored families
who have had loved ones called.
May we not all gloriously agree that
it is one great fight, one great duty
to one common and great cause; and
that whether any one of us shall go or
remain he is in heart enlisted in the
worldwide human service and soldier
of the nations need.
We Appeal Definitely
THAT women of all ages, classes,
churches and quarters shall now in the
opening autumn visit the rooms over
Pracht's Garage and ask of the officers
there an assignment of work.
2-That subscribers to the Campaign
Fund call at the First National Bank
at once and settle.
3-That men and women alike bring
or send at once your names withSl
membership fee, that we may have a
membership at least as large as the
voting strength of the county.

Some confusion has been unavOid-
able in such food of details as have
poured into the central Offices of the
Red Cross at Washington. Their in
structiOns to us have had to be slight
ly changed.
An entirely new and complete men,
bership list for the local chapter must
be made.
This is to notify all members
whether you became such before, or
during or since the campaign-wheth-
er by the payment of the S1.O0 men,
bership fee, or by saying you wanted
S1.OO of your subscription to go for
membership-Or if you now wish S1.O0
of your subscription to be applied for
this purpOse-tO call, or send, or mail
your names into the local Office over
the Pracht Garage for membership, as
though you had never been members.
This must be done before the Office
closes on September rs.
Failure to comply with this call will
necessarily be taken to mean that you
do not consider yourself member of
