It is almost time for some news
paper paragrapher to spring that
joke about President Wilson bidding
Mac adieu.
It is said that Caruso, eminent
Dago singer, now draws $3,000
per day. All we can say is, he
doesn't earn it.
Whiskers, it is said were invented
when men were so ugly they wern't
fit to be seen. After men became
batter looking they kept on wear
ing them to save soap.
The Kansas City Star points out
that the initials of the Industrial
Workers of the World also stand
for 1 Would Worry. And they seem
to live up to the name.
A negro preacher in Kansas City,
says The Star, announces the sub
ject of his discourse for next Sun
day: “Half a Mile from Hell; or
Sinner. Can You Smell the smoke?"
Some of the latest Paris designs
in woman’s silk nightgowns and
lingerie are trimmed in fur. While
novelty is the spice of life even in
fashions this does seem like carry
ing things a little too “fur.”
A constitutional convention for
Arkansas is badly needed. We
have outgrown the constitution we
have and it is worthy of note that
men who served term after term
in the legislature admit the inade
quacy of our present fundamental
1 iw. _
No greater insight into President
Wilson’s character has so far been
published than his own description
of his feelings presented a few
nights ago to men connected with
the newspaper profession. His
ability to explain his feelings as a
man and his ideas of remaining just
a plain American citizen in spite of
the handicaps that would dignify
him above his fellows have en
deared him more than ever to those
progressive Americans who admire
a man of standing in high places,
no matter what his political affilia
tions.

Southern Cattlemen Organize to
Conduct Active Campaign for
More and Better Live Stock
in the South.

Cattle Tick the Greatest Hindrance to
Stock Growing in South—Pest
Costs Over $100,000,000 Annually
—Prominent Men at Conven
tion Discuss Best Plans—
Tick Must Go.
The Southern Cattlemen's associa
tion was organized at Montgomery,
Ala., July 9, 1913. A hundred or more
cattle growers and shippers, national
and state live stock ofucials and rep
resentatives of the stock yards and
railroad interests were present and
took an active interest in the organ
ization of the association.
The avowed object of the associa
tion are as follows:
1. The eradication of the cattle
tick.
2. The development of a profitable
cattle industry in the south.
3. The promotion of effective and
uniform national and state live stock
sanitary legislation.
The means which have been sug
gested for the accomplishment of
these objects are in part as follows:
1. The holding of meetings for the
discussion of live stock problems and
the dissemination of live stock infor
mation. 2. The organization of local
or county associations which will pro
mote the work of tick eradication and
the improvement of the cattle of the
locality by the introduction of pure
bred bulls. 3. By assisting the small
live stock producer in marketing his
products.
It has been suggested that an active
held agent may be employed by the
association to assist local cattlemen
in the attainment of those purposes.
At Memphis, Tenn„ on December
10th and 11th, 1913, the first regular
meeting was held and a constitution
and by-laws adopted fixing the an
nual membership dues at $2.00 per an
num. At that meeting a large num
ber of cattlemen were in attendance
from all the southern states, from
Kentucky to Florida and from Vir
ginia to New Mexico, and enthusiasm
ran high. Every southern cattleman
owes It as his duty to join this as
sociation, and bankers, professional
men and merchants can well afford
to give it encouragement and assist
ance.
The initial work of the associa
tion will he directed toward the erad
ication of the cattle tick.
The work will he carried on in co
operation with the government, the

southern states, and many other or
ganizations, together with prominent
stock men and farmers of the south.
Some of the things advocated at
the convention are:
1. That the railroads put cheaper
rates on breeding cattle.
2. That the government stop all
interstate shipment of tick infested
cattle. This includes cattle on the
way to market for immediate slaugh
ter as well as animals being used for
stocking purposes.
Kesolutious were [etssed_ soljolting
the co-oppration of th? oil mills of
! the south in building up the cattle
Industry and suggesting to the bank
ers of the south the importance of
! making cattle a basis of credit.
Professor Holden, director of Ag
1 ricultural Extension Department of
the International Harvester Company
of New Jersey, addressed the conven
tion. He considered the organization
of the southern cattlemen the begin
ning of successful live stock growing
on a large scale and the opening gun
for the intelligent diversification of
crops in the cotton belt. He was very
enthusiastic in his remarks relative
to the future of the south, and offered
to assist the people in every way
possible to carry out the objects of
the association.
Officers elected are:
P. S. Combs, Hickory Valley, Tenn.,
president.
Dr. Tait Butler, Memphis, Tenn.,
| secretary.
The vice-presidents are:
f Dr. C. A. Cary. Alabama; McQueen
1 Chaires. Florida; Or. P. F. Bohnson,
Georgia; W. R. Moorman, Kentucky.

G. R. White, Tennessee; E. F. Til'

lina; H C. Stewart, Virginia.
A committe was appointed to work
with the railroads for the purpose of
securing better transportation rates
on pure bred cattle for breeding pur
poses.
An active campaign for members is
contemplated, and sufficient funds will
be raised to employ a field agent to
assist in organizing county assoeia
I tions and In otherwise promoting the
■ work. Dr. Tait Butler, progressive
farmer, Memphis, Tenn., was appoint
ed treasurer, and will receive con
tributions to assist in developing a
greater cattle industry in the south
Every man in the south is expected
to encourage and assist this organiza
tion in its great work, especially every
cattleman and business man.
Representatives of the St. Louis
packers offered to assist the organiza
tlon in a substantial manner.

GROW MORE CATTLE.
Prominent Cattle Grower Urges
Southern Farmers to Raise Cattle— !
Conserve Soil Fertility, by Grow
ing Grass and Feeding Cattle.
By A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle
Grower, Cascade, Va.
As our coun'ry grows older other
problems besides securing the pres
ent dollar thrust themselves upon the
man who handles the soil, and to the
thinking men of the south, soil con- j
servation stands in a class by itself
as cur most pressing problem and
practical means looking to this end
demands from year to year an ever
increasing proportion of our thought. \
The crop that is indigenous to a
country is not always the crop that j
continues to be held in the highest cs- i
teem by the leading thinking men of
that section. For instance, in the
finest blue grass section of Indiana I
know a leading live stock raiser and
feeder who is discarding blue grass
very largely for timothy, herds grass
and sapling clover as pasture crops,
because of the greater amount of
feed the new pasture crops are pro
ducing. So while the grass has not
been much in evidence upon the farms
over much of the south up to this
time the change of sentiment that is
everywhere present among our peo
ple regarding the care of the soil leads
us to believe that the matter will be
tried out in a large way during the
next ten years.
Grow More Grass.
And where the trial is intelligently
made grass will surely follow, for
abundant rainfall, much sunshine, a
fair quality of soil and lime makes
grass growing. We have the rainfall
and sunshine ever with us, the skele
ton of a good soil is ours yet and a
million or two tons of lime are within
our borders awaiting our awakening.

APRIL SHOWERS BRING

No more certainly than bank deposits bring

Have you ever stopped to think that the habit
of setting aside a part of your income and entrust
ing it to a bank, there to thrive and increase, is
watering the soil of the future years so that tsey
will be productive cf the good tnings of life, instead
of a barren waste?
April is a month of promise, but always re
member that the chill of December is coming. A
bank account will temper the chill and rob the fu
ture of its somber aspect.
