UVE STOCK SHOW
AT LITTLE ROCK
February 6, 7 and 8 the South’s Great
est Stock Show Will Be Held
At Little Rock.
By B. C. Riley, Extension Service,
University of Arkansas.
The Southern' Cattlemen’s Associa
tion, according to Dr. R. M. Gov, Stat
Veterinarian with the University c.l
Arkansas and Secretary of- the A«qo
ciation, expects to give the people of
this State the greatest cattle show
ever held in the South, on February (>.
7 and 8 at Little Rock. This show will
undoubtedly mark an epoch in the his
lory «for better cattle in Arkansas. I'
comes at an opportune time, because
n December 1, 1ft counties were iv
leased from quarantine and Arkansas
farmers in more than two-thirds o'
the state can now take advantage o:
the climatic cone lions, not only fo”
better pastures, hut for higher grade
and more profitable cattle.
The stock show will not only he of
great interest to Arkansas people, hut
it will undoubtedly have a marked ef
fect in the immediate development
of the live stock industry. It Is a
well-known fact that in communities
where live stock shows and sales arc
held in connection with county fairs,
state fairs or stockmen conventions,
that interest in better live stock has
been given a great impetus. This b
undoubtedly due to the fact that the
farmer who has a well bred and m
exceptional animal in his neighbor
hood often finds, on attending suet
shows and by comparing his animV
i, ,1 * i,- 11_/i „ . .
not have the ideal by far; and as a re
sult he immediately tries to improve
the quality of his herd by selecting
better sires and dams; and this again
reflects itself in better live stock
for the entire community.
Rest Breeds Will Be Represented.
There will he a great number o1
very fine animals of the various
breeds exhibited at the Southern Cat
tlemen’s Association Show and Sale
during the meeting at Little Rock. Nc
one can afford to miss this show noi
the splendid program of the conven
tion, which is open to the public and
upon which the best live stock men
in the United States will appear.
This is an exceptional opportunity
for Arkansas stockmen to become ac
quainted with the secretaries of the
various national breed associations
and with the larger breeders of pure
bred stock in the country, and to
get their ideas and opinions.
Large Number of Finest Animals tc j
Be on Hand.
Are you interested in Shorthorn
Angus or Hereford cattle? It. really
makes little difference which suits
you best. All of the breeds will bo !
represented at the live stock show.
There will be 75 head of Shorthorn
cattle, representing the Scotch and j
Scotch Top cattle; and in fact, among |
the thirty bulls to be shown will be I
found some of the best blood in the
country. Among the 75 head of An
gus there will be found the blood
lines of Blackbird, Queen Mother and
Blackcap, and three of the 25 bulls
to be shown carry the blood lines
of Grand Champions. Among the G5
Hereford* which will be here are to
be found the Perfection, Perfection
Fairfax, and Repeater families.
About twenty bulls in all will repre
sent this breed. Bred cows, cows
with calf at foot, and bred heifers will
be found among all breeds.
Hog Show at the Same Time.
In connection with the Southern
Cattlemen’s Association meeting, the
Arkansas Slock Growers’ Association
and the Arkansas Swine Breeders'
Association will put on a show and
sale on February 5. This will be a
rare opportunity to study the ques
tion of better hogs. About six hun- ]
dred head of all ages and sex will he
shown, representing the Duroc-Jersey, I
Hampshire, Poland China, Spotted Po- j
land China and Mule Foot breeds.
A Great Chance for the Boys.
Remember, Arkansas has been ask-*j
ed to increase next year the number |
of hogs in the state by twenty per
cent. Good hogs are the most profit
able, and the proper care and man
agement of your swine is undoubtedly
of interest to you. This is your
chance. Come and see what other
men are doing, so that you can bene
fit by their experience.
The stock show will be of interest
not only to you, but to the future
farmers of Arkansas. Come. Don’t
forget to bring the boys.
30,000 BOYS AND GIRLS WANTED.
Give the boys and girls a chance.
Encourage them to do their bit by
joining one of the agricultural clubs
before spring work opens up. Thirty
thousand new members are wanted in
the calf, sheep, pig, wheat, potato,
corn, cotton and peanut clubs. See
the county agent or apply to W. J.
Jernigan, Extension Division, Univer
sitj of Arkansas, Old State House,
Little Rock.
The most sensible way for the farm
er -o get into the sheep business is to
begin on a small scale with a few good
ewes and a purebred ram, and increase |
his flock with hiE increasing know i
cdgs of how to care for sheep anil &c
the r^ost profit out of them.

GERMANS BUTCHER BABY’
AND MURDER PARENTS
(Continued from page 1).
French surgeon who examined the
stump said unequivocally that the
operation had been performed by a
skilled surgeon. The boy could give
no more of an explanation that that
he had been put to sleep and when
he awakened he was in a hospital,
with his right arm in a bandage.
When the bandage was removed he
discovered that he had no right hand.
The record of this case is in the
French archives.”
Sitting with us while we were talk
ing was an American who occupied
an official position in Belgium when
the war came. He said that every
thing the Belgian officer had narrat
ed' was undoubtedly true, for he had
heard of similar atrocides while still
in Belgium.
“The Germans are now trying to
cover up their tracks,” he added,
“They are obtaining counter-affida
vits from the terrorized inhabitants
of the destroyed cities of northern
France w'hich they still hold, and from
Belgians they have completely in their
power. I’ll give you an illustration
of the case.
“In one of the French villages first
taken by the Germans fourteen of the
foremost citizens were shot on the
pretense that German soldiers had
been fired upon in that village. We
now know that in nine cases out of
every ten where these executions were
ordered there had been no sniping by
the inhabitants and that the killing of
prominent men was part of the sys
tem of frightfulness. When the
Germans at last saw their mistake,
and that the entire wmrld was shocked
uy tiieii iiietuuus, hiiu uiey nau lost
the sympathy of neutrals, they set
$9»out ‘correcting’ the mistake. In
doing this, they made a second blun
der just as fatal to their cause, for
they went about it with their custo
mary brutality. In this particular
instance the widows or next nearing
relatives of the fourteen murdered
men were forced under the vilest
threats to' sign affidavits that they
knew their husband, or brother, or
father, as the case happened to be,
was guilty of the offense charged
against him. These affidavits were
taken two years after the executions,
showing that the counter-evidence
thus obtained was an after-thought.
“The matter did not end there, tho
the Germans thought it closed. The
fourteen surviving relatives went se
cretly to a French notary and made
another set of affidavits in which
they not only repudiated those given
to the Germans but swore to the
threats and the force employed by the
Germans in obtaining the false evi
dence. The last set of affidavits was
then smuggled through the lines to
the French authorities and added to
the mass of evidence France is ac
cumulating against the enemy.
Enough of this evidence already has
been published by the French govern
ment to convict the Germans of the
atrocious crimes ever committed by
the soldiers of a warring power, or by
the savages of wild tribes. You can
no think of any parallel, or anything
approaching a parallel, in the history
of the world. Attila, the Hun, was a
gentleman in comparison with these
accomplished German officers, and
.he worst feature of it all is that the
common German soldier is as eager
i nthe work as the officers above
him.”
And the amazing feature, he might
have added, is the citizens of the
United States tolerating the German
propaganda in their own country.

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound.” You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. • Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft»brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of i
disease.

The Business of

I
Before Business Success |
Dowatotra ttie streets are lined with prosperous retail stores. "
Fayther down are the large wholesale houses. Scattered everywhere I*
arc thriving manvifacturing institutions.
All of them are giving employment to workers and most
tlsaffifi are paying profits to owners. /
Many of them began, perhaps, in a small way and earn
capital with which they expanded. Some of them began
capital csntributed by men who had won their success in
enterprises.
t But some person or persons owned the capital with which their ill
start was made originally. jl|
* + + HI
Once invested in a well managed business capital grows fast,
but every business must have some capital to begin with. Its own
ers must contribute it from their personal resources. jji
In other words, personal worth comes before business success.
The individual who has not the foresight to strive for a per
sonal capital has little chance to become a large factor in business
enterprise.
His job is always his only asset.
! + + +
Who are the men who own and manage these successful
enterprises? Certainly they are not favored children of fortune
who, empty handed, had these positions thrust upon them. ,
They could not have qualified for positions of responsibility or;
command capital had they not learned to administer sensibly;
their personal resources. : jj
Ask them all what YOU must do in order to have capital,
t invested in business and doubtless all of them will say:
| “SAVE YOUR MONEY!” w
