RE. Lee was one Of the most
punctual men known to history. He
was always ready for family prayer,
and at all meal times, and met
every engagement, business or so
cial, on the moment. He exacted
every member Of his family to be
the same.
When Gen'l. Lee was Superintend-
ent at the Military Academy at
West Point, he was never late at a
single Sunday service at the post
chapel. He appeared in uniform
some minutes before anyone else,
and would jokinely rally Mrs, Lee
and the children for being late, or
forgetting something at the last
moment.
When he could wait no LONGER he
would say, We'll am off," and
march away to church by himself
or with those who might be ready,
Gen. Lee was, at all times and all
occasions a silent man. He never
lost his temper He was always
neat In his dress and clear of all
bad habits, such as drinking or Us.
Ing tobacco, His home was never
polluted with such things and Lee
himself was a living example in
perfect cleanliness, not only In his
home but to his army and to the
world.

live STOCK AS A SIDE LINE
Advantages In Raising Livestock That
- Should Interest Every Farmer.

There is a place for at least some
livestock on every farm in Arkan.
sas. The number of animals kept
does not need to be large, but should
be sufficient to clean up all farm
waste and help utilize at least some
of the idle land. Our state is one
of small farms and yet is classified
as Cotton State and is likely to
continue to be 50 classified in the
future. Consequently there is every
indication that most of the livestock
will be raised as a side line to cotton,
or some other cash crop.
The fact that a man is getting the
larger portion of his income from
cotton should nat discourage him
from raising some good animals.
Financial records of small farms in
other states show that in the major
ity Of cases the largest labor incomes
are produced on farms which have
a main cash crop and raise live
stock as a side line.
There are are number OF ad-
vantages in raising livestock that
should interest every farmer" says
j. H. Mcleod, Animal Husbandman
with the Extension Division, Uni
versity of Arkansas, because live
stock will:
1. Help utilize more of the
waste lands in Arkansas.
2. Help build up the fertility of
the soil.
3. Turn much of the waste pro-
ducts on the farm into meat and
milk.
A. Help to distribute labor more
economicly throughout the season.
S. Add to the regular income
and help reduce the living expenses.
Arkansas farmers are spending
millions every year for pork produc-
