BREEDERS FINE
LIVESTOCK AND
HOGS THIS STATE
WILL COMPETE WITH THE 9TH
ER STATES AT THE TRI-
STATE FAIR.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 22-(spe-
cial breeders of fine live stock and
hogs in Mississippi will have their
choice animals competing with some
OF the finest stock in America at the
Tri-State Fair in Memphis this year.
No less than I8 states are represen-
ted n the cattle department and as
many in the hog department. rrerus
include many that have been showing
at the greatest fairs in the United
States this year. The Memphis show
will be the biggest in the history Of
the Tri-State Fair. There is a pre-
MUM list in the livestock department
alone of more than $4,000.
The Enochs Farms Of Fernwood,
Miss will have a string of 12 head
Of Herefords in the competition. AS
an indication of the keen interest,
more than 1876 head of Herefords will
be shown fro ma half dozen states
While late entries always are ex-
pected, no Mississippi breeder had
entered Shorthorns, Angus or Dur
hams in the beef grades.
Norman Jeffries of Jeffries, Miss,
will have herd of IL head Jerseys
in the Jersey show. The Gayoso
Farms of Horn Lake, Miss, will show
a string Of Guernseys. These are the
only two Mississippi dairy herds en-
tered.
When it comes to good hogs, Mis-
sissippi is expected to stand toe to
toe with best the country affords.
In the Durocs, the Mississippi con
tingent will include herds from the
Evergreen Stock Farm at New Site;
Enochs Farms, Fernwood; Whites
Duroc Farm, Columbia; Pine Crest
Farm, Charleston; Clarksdale Duroc
Farm, Clarksdale and L. G. Hobson
Of Houlka. w. L. Newton of New
Albany will show Poland Chinas and
the Gayoso Farm, Horn Lake, will |
show Hampshires.
Although there are many herds Of
sheep in Mississippi and more and
more of them being assembled, not
a sheep breeder will be represented,
Nor will there be any Mississippi
goats exhibited. ......
The Mississippi "red hogs" are ex-
oected to be of special interest, for
several of the finest herds anywhere
ire located in the state, The Pine
Jrest, White and Enoch herds are
,nown widely for their excellence.
II became a question this week of
lousing all the livestock that has
,een booked for the Memphis fair,
ven though barns have been doubled
n capacity. The same thing is true
n every other department where en-
ries are far greater than in any 9th
r Of the IL previous Memphis ex-
POSITIONS. Il
Indications point to an enormous {
Tendance, the rule at all other fairs
the country this year.

tors was Timothy Edwards, father
Of Jonathan Edwards, of Puritan
fame. John Hopkins, one of the
Edwards family, aided Austin Wor-
chester, maternal grandfather of
Miss Robertson, in obtaining an edu-
cation that prepared him to be "a
missionary among the Indians.
Grandfather a Martyr
This Austin Worchester spent two
years in the Georgia penitentiary
because he violated the law which
said only whites should have the ben
eft of education. After his release
he followed the Cherokee Indians
when they were exiled to the lands
set aside for them in what became
Indian Territory.
One of the children of the Rev
Austin Worchester was Ann Eliza

cles of his legs are remarkably long.
The forearm muscles, and this is
unusual, extend clear below the
knee joint. This extension of the
forearm muscles is almost UNIQUE.
Man o Wars forearm muscles run
all the way into the hooks, making
it appear that his cannons, that part
which corresponds to the portion of
the human arm between the hand
and the elbow, are very short. The
tendons of the leg are back from
the bone, making his legs look flat
and correspon ndingly wide"
Great Lung Capacity
The chest of the unbeatable colt
is unusually developed.
"This is indicative Of the fact
that the sternum, or chest, has ex-
I panded to allow more lung space
according to DR.. Adams. MAN O.
War has an enormous lung capacity
He can and has run a mile and q
half and cantered back to the pad
dock, blowing off his exertion in two
or three breaths.
"His large lungs give him an ex-
traordinary blood capacity. The
blood is aerated in the lungs and
oxygen is supplied to the body The
increased capacity for oxygen al
lows him to run further without ia.
tigue. Man O. Wars huge lungs
are an important factor in his vic
tories"
In the opinion of DIR. Adams
nothing stands Man O. War in such
good stead as his grim determina-
tion to fight to the very end.

way, two Of them dropped out so as
not to divide the vote. When the
primary was ended it was found she
hao more votes than her two re-
manning opponents combined.
Still they refused to Jake her seri-
ously. She would run way behind
the ticket, they said. Her only pur-
pose in running for office, it was
charged, was that she might have a
claim on the Administratio for the
Muskogee postotfice. Some of the
Republicans bolted and voted for
her Democratic opponent. But more
Democrats bolted Hastings for her.
Appealed to Their Stomachs
There is just a possibility, of
course, that one route by which Miss
Robertson found her way to the
voters favor was through their
stomachs. For the new Congress-
man runs a restaurant which is
more than a Muskogee institution,
it being known throughout all that
section Of Oklahoma. It is called
tho Sawokla Cafeteria, "sawokla"
being an Indian word meaning
perpetual welcome" That is also

Worchester, who became Mrs. A. E.
W. Robertson, the mother Of the
new Congressman. The spirit of
the missionary ran through all of
Miss Robertson's family. She has
estimated that in the aggregate they
have given at least lao years to mis-
sionary work. Her mother was one
Of those who gave her life to the
work. One of her tasks was the
translation OF the Bible into the
Creek language, as another ancestor,
the Rev. W. S. Robertson, had trans
lated it into the Cherokee. For this
work Miss Robertson's mother re-
ceived the degree Of Doctor of Phi
losophy, one Of the first American
women to be so honored. She died
in 1905 at the age of eighty.

Courage Is One of Man O. Wars Qualities

Veterinary Medicine at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania and one of the
leading authorities on horses in
America.
DR.. Adams is the medical adviser
to the horses in the racing stable of
Samuel D. Riddle, millionaire horse
fancier of Glen Riddle, Pa. Mr..
Riddle is the owner of Man O. War.
DR.. Adams has studied the famous
three-year-old from the viewpoint of
the veterinary medical expert, and
speaks with the authority of science.
He is graduate of the University
OF Minnesota and also studied for y
degree at the University of Penn
sylvania.
Since 1896 he has been veterina-
rian of the Pennsylvania State
Board of Health, and also consulting
veterinarian of the Department Of
Public Safety of the City of Phila-
de]phia. DR.. Adams is the author
Of four works on veterinary subjects,
and served throughout the war with
the Veterinary Corps of the army.
Of Unusual Size
Dr.. Adams has come into contact
with many famous racehorses in
the last two decades. Many OF them
were brought to the university clinic
for special treatment by him for
"whistling.' But to use his own
words, ne has "never seen a greater

Started a Restaurant

Next came the postmastership
from Theodore Roosevelt, after
which Miss Robertson took up well
fare work for girls and as a part of
it established her cafeteria. This
soon became SO popular that it was
thrown open to the public and be-
came an institution. 1t won't be
closed now that it's owner is going
to Washington.
1.-The true test Of business and ex-
ecutive ability lies in organizing your
business so that its spirit reflected
in the employees will just keep it
running" says Miss Robertson.
All through the years of activity
were other deeds that called for the
best there was in Miss Robertson.
Hundreds of stories might be told
of the good deeds she performed for
many individuals. Here is one that
is typical:
During the early days Muskogee
was wild place. One night Miss
Robertson was told that an Indian
girl Of the Bad Lands had given birth
to baby girl. Miss Robertson went
directly to the house, was given
charge of the baby and kept it living.
Gave Baby Home
She had promised to return the
baby to its mother when the latter
became Christian. But the mother
died and Miss Alice kept the baby
until it grew to womanhood. The
baby is now the wife of one of the
richest men in Oklahoma.
Dozens Of orphan girls, taken
under her wing, have been married
in her home.
But it was in war work that she
found her greatest opportunity to
help others.
After living through the Civil War
as girl, she got her first real
chance during the war with Spain
She helped recruit the Rough Rider
regiment which went with Colonel
Roosevelt up San Juan Hill. She
prepared kit for each man whc
went to that war. In these kits were
testaments and sewing utensils fo,
all.
When the World War came alona
she was ready again. AS head OF

Until Her State Gave Votes to
Women the Winning Candidate
Was Known as an Anti

lily had settled at TuIlahasse Mission,
in Wagner County, near Muskogee,
and worked among the Indians dur
ing the Civil War, undergoing many
hardships during that time.
Later came the opportunity to
come East to school, going first to
Boston, but graduating later from
Elmira College, where she took the
Master of Arts degree.
A position in the Indian Office at
Washington was next, but the call to
return to the West was too strong,
so, after few months under "Miss
Corson, first cooking school teacher,
and Miss Huntington, first teacher of
social welfare work.. she came back
to the Indian Territory.
She became the first domestic SCI
ence teacher in the territory. She
also learned typewriting and short
hand, and was the only stenographer
in the section for many years. AS
such she attended many conventions
and learned first hand of political
do;ngs and other worldly affairs.
Teacher Among the Indians
Miss Robertson also spent two
years at the Carlisle Indian School
to fit herself for service among the
Indians.
Funds for Greek education were
low because Of the green peach
war;" but Miss Robertson raised
funds in the East and came back to
establish the Nuyaka Mission, which
is one Of the few Greek schools to
survive to the present day. She
taught later IN the day school at
Okmulgee.
In 1855 she went to Muskogee,
her present home, to establish a
boarding school for girls of the Five
Civilized Tribes-Creeks, Cherokees,
Choctaws, Chickasaws and Semi
noles. She had much to do with
starting and was later a professor
in the school that grew into Henry
Kendall College, now situated at
Tulsa, Okla.
The next duty that fell to her lot
was that Of supervisor of Creek
schools-auditing accounts, appoint
ing teachers, visiting schools and
preparing reports. But it was too
much travelling about, so she went to
Muskogee to settle down as the post
mistress of the local Office.

I horse from every viewpoint than
Man O War"
he is what is called slashing
big colt" DR.. Adams said. "He
stands we'll over sixteen hands high.
At a distance Of some yards, you
would say that he made a splendid
appearance as well proportioned
thoroughbred. Because he is so we'll
rfopOrtioned, he doesn't look large
| from a distance. But when you ap-
proach him, he is found to be much
bigger than you thought him, and
if you stand alongside he towers far
over your head.
"He is a beautiful horse, with an
almost humanity intelligent face.
There are, to be sure, dozens of
horses in the East which are every
bit as good looking, but Man O. War
has something that the others
haven't. The others have speed,
plenty Of it, but no endurance in a
long race. Man O. War is one of
those extremely rare combinations of
speed and endurance that every
really great horse must have"
One of Man O. Wars greatest as
sets, according to DR.. Adams, is his
remarkable legs.
Legs Unusually Long
ellis limbs" the doctor said in
the course of our interview, "are
unusually long, longer than the legs
of thoroughbred are in general.
This is a great advantage, Of course,
since he can cover a greater dis
tance in a single stride than a horse
that is shorter of limb. The mus

Indians Her Special Care

In appearance the new Congress
man is by no means fussy. In
fact, some are unkind enough to
say that she's a little bit careless
about dress. But with her dress
is not the most important of things.
The rouge stick and the powder puff
have never fitted in with her pro-
gram of activity, that touches every
sphere of our complex civilization.
The Indians and other oldtimers
Of the Indian Territory country will
be the special attention of Miss Rob-
ertson when she gets to Washington.
She fought for separate states for
Indian Territory and Oklahoma, but
had to yield to Congress and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who said:
Zone corrupt government is bet
ter than two corrupt governments"
In the same way he told Miss Rob-
ertson on their first meeting that he
was Republican when she asked him
which party he belonged to.
Both parties in New York are
corrupt" he said. "but the Repub-
lican party is the lesser of the two,
SO guess I'm Republican.
Woman's Place in Politics
And Miss Robertson is much like
her famous friend. Active, versatile.
educated, powerful personality
and wonderful mind, she hiss the
background of her pioiieer and col
lege experience to throw into the
new woman's sphere Of politics, and
she will do it credit.
"The only reason for women in
politics is to make clean govern
ment, to tell the truth and do justice
to all and to refrain from bitter
ness after the example of the Great
Exemplar, who when he was re-
viled, reviled them not" is one Of
her declarations.
