OUR DENVER BOYS FAREWELL
APPEAL.
My Creed.

I believe in the United States of
America as a government OF the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people
whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed a democ-
racy in a republic; a sovereign Nation
Of many sovereign states; perfect
Union. one and inseparable, estab-
lished upon those principles Of free
dom, equality, justice and humanity
for which American patriots sacrificed
their lives and fortunes.
therefore believe 1t is my duty
to my country to love it; to support
its Constitution; to obey its laws: to
respect its flag; and to defend it
against all enemies I go to fight for
my country and I trust that those
who remain behind will be as true as
We who have gone. II do not return
look after my niece.

NEGROES DO YOUR FULL DUTY

Buy service flags to honor the SER
vice of your relatives. Let every
Negro display and wear in some form
token to honor our drafted boys. If
we are going to be patriotic, let US
be so. If we are going to do the
thing let us do it with all our heart,
mind and soul-just 1000 American
erings and follow the boys to the
trains. Encourage and poosr them.

The STAR cannot see how some
people are willing to vote for some
man who has never done anything
for the Negro and not advocate and
hence encourage a friend who has ac'
tually helped us. When the Negro
will get to the place he-himself-
will look out for himself and race
first-he will be considered more.
What real recognition has been given
the Negro in the state anyway?
Real progress will call for cool, So

It also appears to me that wflen

fault of nobody SO much as those who
make a point Of proclaiming them In
superable as an excuse for never join

Negro Soldiers Welcomed.

But on the tide of battle goes,
And fiercer still the conflict grows.
Each battle fought would nearer tend
To bring the conflict to the end.
The Union cause frest victories won
Since ha dbeen given hope and gun
To Colored soldiers, while the South
OF army recruits had drought.
No longer longer was there any corps
In which no Negro small arms bore,
The army on Potomacs banks;
Had thousands serving in her ranks /;
The army of the Tennessee
Their presence welcomed heartily;
The army Of the Cumberland
Had Hams dark sons in its command.

SCRUBS VERSUS GRADES
ON NATIVE cows

That Arkansas will soon become
one of the leading breeders of high
class beef through its Aberdeen. An.
gus cattle is the contention of Sec.
rotary Charles Gray Of the American
Aberdeen-Angus Breeders Associa-
ton upon his return from the south
recently. He cited the case of Mr..
r. B. Mcknight OF Augusta, Ark,
who recently had demonstration of
the prepotency of the Aberdeen-An-
gus bull on common native cows.
Mr.. Mcknight says he had small
herd of common native cows running
on river bottom land. He bought a
common COW already bred to a scrub
bull and put 1t with his other native
cows that we're bred to his good
thick registered Aberdeen-Angus bull.
The calves never had any grain, run
ming with their mothers until they
were butchered in the fall The
scrub calf weighed dressed 1856
pounds at seven months old, and
brought 5000 from, the local butcher.
The half breed calf sired by the
Aberdeen-Angus bull weighed dressed
1923 pounds at months old and
brought $500. Both calves sold at
Is cents a pound ON contract, though
the butcher declared there was no
comparison in quality of flesh. The
loin of the Angus grade was better
than that OF a year old scrub then
hanging In the butcher shop Mr.
Mcknight sold several other grade
Angus calves to the same butcher,
never getting less than $3.50 for
them.
Right there is where ! realized
the real value of pure-bred Angus
bulls for our native cows" declared
Mr.. Mcknight. as it any wonder
that the Angus have won Is out of
16 grand championships over ell of
the other breeds at the Chicago In
ternational Live Stock Exposition,
and that IL out of 16 of the fat car.
loads of steers have also gone to
this breed? They not only take off
the horns of the calves from our ma
tive cows, and put beef where beef
belongs and where 1t will make the
feeder the most money, but the meat
of the Angus is given superior mar
bling that no other breed can show.
One Angus bull can increase the val
ue of the first calf crop from our
native cows 100 per cent. On 20

With the experience that many

to be productive of even better re-
suits There ought to be an increas-

should be far less waster effort
