SHORTH0RN
EXHIBITION AND SALE

Systematic preliminary prepara-
tions are already being made for the
most interesting and extensive pure
b-ad cattle event ever held in the
South when the Second Annual Short
horn Exhibition and Sale is held on
May and 2, 1922. Representatives
OF the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway and the American
Shorthorn Breeders Association are
visiting all the registered Shorthorn
herds in the Southern States, and
are selecting only outstanding in
dividuai: to be grown out and nm
ished for the oven,. A profitable cot
ton market is expected, together with
substantial improvements in agricul-
tural and general business condi-
tions, and while the prevailing level
of farm breeding animals may not
change materially within the next
few months, relieved conditions,
should they matcrialize, will logical
ly encourage producers to purchase.
Cash premiums aggregating $4,000
Give thousand dollars) will be of
fered in the exhibition. This fea-
ture alone will attract strong COM
petition among breeders and will in
sure the showing and selling of ami
mails only of superlative worth.
1t is difficult properly to realize
the scope and Significance of this un-
dertaking. First of all, it affords n
market for the surplus of the small
breeder, which has hitherto been
wanting, and encourages him to
make extraordinary provision for de-
veloping his calves from birth, with
this outlet specifically in view. The
adoption of the practice is noted
among breeders of many Southern
districts since the holding of the first
annual show and sale at columbia,
Tenn, June 20 and 81, 1921.

dustries, Agriculture and Immigra-
tion for Nashville, Chattanooga & St.

who is actively in charge of the pro-
motion and conduct of the Southern
Shorthorn Exhibition and Sale, in
vites inquiries from breeders and 9TH

hibition and sale.

The Finer Side of Life.

That the finer things of life have
not been wholly lost sight of by
young people in these days, amidst
the mad pursuit of excitement and
amusement, is indicated by the state
ment that more than four million
active members of Christian Endeav-
or societies are represented by the
delegates to the convention now as
sJmbled in New York. And this is
only one of several distinct organi-
cations with enormous membership
and with the common purposes of
applying the teachings Of religion to
the conduct of every-;say affairs.
Contemplation of this fact leads to
the conclusion that, after all, the ell
ement in society whose cissipations
attract SO much attention are in no
sense truly representative of the
great majority of young people of to-
day.

Funds for Confederate Reunion.

Chattanooga, Tenn, 1ept. 27.--
The Confederate Reunion Commit
tee, through its committee on IL
nance, has been making drive this
week fer the funds necessary to en-
tertain the reunion to be held here
October 25 to 27 inclusive, with the
suit that the sum already pledged
Ensures the financial success of the
enterprise. More than half the
sum decided on as the minimum
amount was secured the first day of
the drive, which so far as known
here, sets the record for collections
for a Confederate Reunion. Before
the end of the week all of the money
needed to finance the reunion COM
lmittee will have been secured.
Interest throughout Confederate
territory in the reunion has in
creased wonderfully within the past
week. The indications now are that
the attendance will be large from all
of the Southern States and also from
some of the border States. Men who
have been watching reunions for sew
eral years forecast crowd of $4,000
to 10000 while others place the at
tendance in excess of these figures.
The reunion program, as already
announced, has been agreed on prac-
tically as at first drafted. One an
nouncement this week 10 that the re-
union grafton will be delivered by
Bishop Collins Denny, of the South
ern Methodist Church. This item
was not in the original draft of the
program. Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee,
will also address the convention and
welcome the veterans in the name of
Tennessee.
1t has been definitely decided by
the railroads that the Confederate
veterans and members of their fam
lilies will be given a rate of one cent
mile to and from Chattanooga for
this reunion; but it is not yet de-
cided what the rate will be to the
general public. The certificate plan
will be followed, it is understood, by
the roads in selling tickets
Invitations, have been sent to the
governors of all the Southern States
to be present as guests during the re-
union Governor Russell, of Mississip-
pi, has accepted the invitation, and
doubtless some of them will act ia
vorably upon it.
Every indication points to a most
successful reunion and the reunion
committee is preparing to entertain
large crowd Chattanooga has re-
sponded literally to all the demands
of the committee. Private homes
will be open to the veterans and
their friends the entire three days of
the convention, and hotels will give
reasonable rates to all who do not de-
sire to stay in private homes.
