breeders of Howard County met in the
County Agents Office and organized a
County Pure Bred Live Stock Associa.
tion. There are sixty pure bred breed
ers in Howard county at this time and
some of the best bred stock in the Uni.
ted States il represented in the pure
bred herds in Howard county. The
Breeders perfected their organization
by electing c. D. Nichols President
and E. J. Redmap of Bonair, Vice
9rssjident, E. H. Cunningham, Sscre-
tary. The following named gentlemen
were elected directors: H.
w. C. Brown. Lime Springs, repre-
ssntiag Milking Shorthorn breed.

All pure bred breeders of Howard
county are invited to join this Associa-
ton, the objects of which are to pro-
mote mutually, financially and cooper
atively the interests of the breeders
and the use Of pure bred live stock.
There is an unusual demand at this
time for pure bred live stock and it
would be advisable for eny one inter-
ested in pure bred live stock to get
in touch with the Secretary. There
are 1900 farmers in Howard county and
it would increase the value of the live
stock in this county by many thousands
of dollars if there was . pure bred ami
NAL at the head of every herd. If you

Redeu Makes Good.

w. F. Reden, Principal Of the Delta
Industrial Institute, and q Cresco
High School graduate, spoke in union
meeting at the Baptist Church Sunday.
Reden says his people do not seek So
cial equality, all they ask is that they
be given q mans chance. and that they
can be brothers with the white people in
the commercial world, church and in
God, without becoming brother-in-law.
Reden said the spring following the
summer when he was here in 1916, the
Board of Supervisors of Sunhower
county, gave them 80 acres Of rich cut
oyer timber land, and that they sent to
Tuskegee. Ala, got plans for Groom
2-story brick building. costing $450O.
He started building with only $40 in
the treasury. but raised the amount
needed and $500 over. Then, st the
suggestion Of many large land owners,
he circulated petition, presented same
to Board Of Supervisors, asking them
for. SO, 900. The Board had the Legis-
lature pass IN act allowing them to
donate to the school, $4,000 1T the
rate of $4,000 4 year. This was the
first bill ever passed in the south to aid
private colored school. We have
built barn 24x3O two stories, bought
four head of mules. COW and calf, erec-
ted two tenant houses, costing $500
each, bought farm wagons, imple-
ments, school desks, beds, mattresses
and springs, cleared up 40 acres Of
land and tiled same.
Mr.. Reden kindly asks of those who
received his cards Sunday asking as
sistance for the school, to leave card
and donation at the Cresco Union Saw
ings Bank with Mr.. A. J. Thomson, .
trustee of the school, before the bank
closes Saturday ss he desires to leave
Sunday.

Orpheum Theatre.

For this, the closing week of what
has been a season marked by the
number and excellence of the vaude-
vile acts presented at the Orpheum,
the management of this great Circuit of
theatres is offering one of the most
varied and most pleasing programs it
has ever had.
One of the headliners is "Rubeville,"
a comedy sketch whose locale is the
general store of a country town, in
which the idlers around the stove,
the cracker box and the prune bar
rel prove to be real comedians as
well as musicians of ability. The
other headliner is Filtration" a
musical satire on college life, the
scene of which is laid in the frat
house of a co-educational institution
of learning.
The extra feature of this bill is
also really a headliner in itself, Misses
Harmon and O'Connor, whose beauty
