association in CLARENDON which will
be composed Of at least five blocks
and probably six or seven. That will
mean five, six, or seven purebred
Guernsey bulls in this county and will
put Clarendon on the Guernsey map.
1T viii also be big advertisement
for Clarendon and in year or two
many inquiries will be made for pure
bred and grade Guernseys followed by
many orders for same, and if farm
CT has one or two purcbred heifers to
sell each year it will bring him quite
nice little roll. Mr.. LaMaster who
was here last week now has orders to
purchase four carloads of grade
Guernsey cows and will have TO 90 to
Virginia, Maryland or PENNSYLVANIA
to get them. Here is a chance for
Clarendon breeders to get some of this
trade.

ing.

were in the direct path of the tornado.
Hundreds Of injured require medical
attention, the force of physicians and
surgeons available locally being mad
equate to cope with the situation
Tents and other temporary structures
will be necessary for those whose
homes have disappeared and short
age of actual food is foreseen as a
result Of the loss Of barns and ware
houses.

storm are completely blocked, reports
tonight said Dead cattle and horses
may be seen in every field.

The Boston prize beauty, who IS be-
ing transferred to the outncld Of the

style OF hitting.
Ed Barrow. manager OF the Red Sox'
says it is no use to advise the home
run king 10 refrain from his old-time
cut OF the ball.
Il am confident Ruth could improve
his batting average 30 per cent. Time
after time begged and pleaded with
him. But he could not Withstand the
temptation TO take long hold ana
full swing in the hope OF addlng an
other home-run," says Barrow.
Many believe that Babe Is capable
Of heading the batting list in The Amer
lean League II he could adopt the
shorter cut.
But it'is not likely all the good reso-
lutions in the world could change hin
now.
