This win mean that the citizens Of
Wheeling and this entire section. will be
practically assured OF purer and more

spends every year a great many thous-
ands OF dollars on health work. and il
IS proper FOR the city 10 spend the
money. but IL We are TO consider health

THE KING IS DEAD

GREAT AGRICULTURAL PAPER
PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO
KING OF HEREFORD,
Country Gentleman)

Country Gentleman)
When an overseas king dies, there
Is always great how-dy-do, with
much official mourning and condole-
ments from titled nobilities and digni-
fled honorables. The other day out
in Indiana real king died, one whose
blood lineage and ancestry would
have backed the King of Bulgaria off
the map; one with a record that the
ruler of any nation might be proud
to leave behind.
When Perfection Fairfax died he
left for mourning every lover of a
Whlteface wherever the sturdy
Herefords are known. In all his DAYS
there was not another like unto him.
He was great in the greatest show
ring in the world. AS sire of beefy.
blocky calves, he had no contempor-
airy that excelled him. His sons and
daughters and their progeny have
literally gone round the world. HIS
Influence has been felt in hundred
great fairs and expositions, in a
thousand sales and in large and small
Feedlots all over the land.
Old Perfection aFirfax was every
nch a king. In the last twenty years
here has scarcely been another sire
If any breed so outstand as he. In
him were the blood and heritage of
Anxiety, Fairfax, Dale, Peerless Viii
on and many another great sire of
lays gone by. The king is dead.
Time alone shall reveal the successor
leemed worthy to take his place in
he useful and honored task of build
ng up the beef herds of the country.
