EoEs GOOD WORK

Prof. Richard C. Miller, extension
specialist in sheep husbandry of the
University of Kentucky College OF
Agriculture, expects to see large re-
suits for mthe wide distribution of
the purebred animals thruout the
state. Prof. Miller attended the
Second Farmers Better Sire Sale
and aided a large number Of the
1000 farmers there in making their
selections. He declared himself as
pleased with the quality Of the an
imals offered and the response and
interest Of the farmers present.
The success of the sale was in a
large measure due to the Kentucky
Sheep-breeders' Association thru
which nearly 800 pure bred bucks
and ewes and 2.2OO high-grade ewes
we're obtained.
A Better Swine Sale will be held
In October by the Louisville Live
stock Exchange under similar con.

An opera to be presented in Lex
ington in November, and a tour by
the Glee Club thru Kentucky and a
northern or east rn trip are among
plans of the Music Department Of the
University of Kentucky for the COM

unusual musical talent.
Glee Club concerts will be given

ance OF the troubadours in several of
the larger cities Of the country. Two
trips are being considered by Prof.

ton, Philadelphia and New York.

students of the U. of X. in all these
cities.
Both a University and a cadet

musicians and the latter, those those
requiring further training. Band
equipment has been obtained for
fifty men, $4,000 worth of instru-
ments having been received from the

talent now available is peculiarly
fitted to it, 1t will be presented as
a part of the Home Coming at the
University on Thanksgiving Day and
the day preceding.

PLANT IL GROWING

Due to the increased patronage
in the shape Of advertising, the
Mountain Advocate has had steadily
to Increase, not only the amount,
but also the different sorts OF type
We are laying several fonts more OF
type so that we cannot be caught
without facilities to handle all the
work that may come to us. Judging
from the increase Of advertising To-
cally, we may reasonably expect that
other merchants who have not yet
used the Advocate for publicity will
do so and not only build up their
own business but keep much money
at home that is now going abroad.
The linotype enables us to handle
all kinds OF reports, minutes, pro-
grams and club or lodge constitu-
tions with absolutely new type for
each job. The fact that so many OF
our other sorts have new faces, also
means the best OF clear printing.
When our friends need anything
done quickly and well, remember
that the Advocate has been getting
ready for the past two years in do
ing this very thing. The candidates
in the recent primary all praise the
way in which we handled their work.
Let us do yours. Our prices are
right too.
