An anlmnted tornado on four legs, 1,200 pounds of living dynamite such
j is the "outlaw" bronk, scores of which will provide the chief thrills of the
J Chicago Roundup and World's Championship ltodeo, to be held for nine days,
I beginning August 15. Wiry and daring, coolest when facing almost certain
Injury such is the buckaroo, standard type of the men who will fight it out
fwlth the "bad" horses, in the Chicago contests. t
Broncho bnsting calls forth all the courage that is traditional on the
i western ranges and a great part of the $30,000 in prizes appropriated by the
Chicago Association of Commerce, under whose auspices the rodeo will be
presented, will go to the men who will fight to' stay for a few. seconds on the
; hurricane decks of the "sunflshlng," "skyscraping," squealing, fighting cayiises.
'When the courage of the, buckaroo clashes with the lawless spirit of. the
broncho, the ride Is always to a sensational finish. Tex Austin, famoos
; through his many successful rodeos and who will manage the Chicago spce
. tacie, already has contracted for the top bronks from the three greatest
Btrlngs of bucking horses In the West; . ..; , .:

MAGIC OF RODEO ROPERS

Vftenrds with Iron wrists, who can send n lasso snapiitr.;' through the ulr
with the accuracy of a rifle bullet,' will work their magic when famous ropera
wil meet at the Chicago Roundup and World's Clmrnpionyhip Eodco to be
held for nine days, glnnin;; August 15. A good portion of the prizes put up
by-the -Chicago AsteK-Iatlon of Commerce, under whose auspices (lie cowboy con
tests will- be held, tl tit aside for the ropers: Champions, past and present, have
written Tex Austin, that tlicy will be on hand to compete for the awards, and
the world's championship title. Austin, who has put on many big rodeos, will
direct the Chicago contests. A steer or calf In action makes remarkable speed
and to send' the loop of the lariat whipping through; the air and to have it
land unerringly around horns or neck Is. oife of the most difficult of cowboy
feats. To do this and then to throw and1 tie the animal must be the. work cf
only a few seconds. The experts, are bringing their, own roping ponies, bo
Intelligent and highly trained that some are almost priceless. .
FORESTS ARE BI
AID TOCOUNTRY
The Federal Government Is
Now Owner of More Than
350,000 Acres of Forests in
Western North Carolina.
Within the last ten years the Uni
ted States government has bought
350,000 acres of forest lands in the'
mountains bf North Carolina at aDpivt1
six dollars per acre or a total price
of approximately $2,000,000 according
to H. M. Curran, Forester with the
Extension Division of the "State Col
lege of Agriculture. One hundred
such purchases, he says, would be
equal to the total area of the State.
These lands ' are estimated to. be
worth at least $9 per acre.
The Federal government spends
about 8 cents each year fir thet pro
tection and -administration of these
woods and the business' connected
with them, while, the growth on each
acre is' worth 60 cents per year, Mr.
Curran says. These forests, he as
serts, will net 'the .United ' States
Treasury $500,000 to $1,000,000 every
ten years, managed in the present
crude maimier, white if properly treat
ing' with at last 50 cents per year
spent on each acre, double this reve
nue can be expected and all risk from
firecliminated' ' '
The forests of Saxony (400,000
acres) since 1890 have produced a net
revenue of $4,000 per acre per year or
$1,600,000 gross annually, he said, and
pointed out that North Carolina' tim
ber grows faster than that of Saxony
and that it is worth as much, in the
forest and can be marketed as readily.
!'If the United States government,
the government of Saxony and many
other governments, including France,
Italy, Norway, Sweden, and even the
Philippines can make money from
forest lands, why can not North
Carolina?" asks Forester Curran.
"We have the spectacle of the State
spending $50,000,000 economically in
road building, why not a companion
spectacle of. managing two to five
million acres of forest land economi
cally as an object lesson to the own
ers of 30,000,000. acres of forest land,
the present forest area of this State.
Our revenue would range from five to
twenty million dollars. annually."
It's Up To You.
You may be a big man in the busi
ness world. Your properties may rep
resent many good round, hard dol

politics to the extent of complaining
about taxation, too' much legislation,
useless regulation of industry, etc.
You may end your boy to college and
your daughter to a finishing school.
You may be a "successful American
busirxss n-.an. y
But do you take an interest in the
government wmcn protects j. your
property? Or are you merely one of
the kickers who complain about the
"radicals? Do you go to' the polls
and vote for men and measures you
oeneve sound or do you instead, go
out and play golf on election day and
let the, fellow about whom you com
plain do all the voting.
Don't kick unless you are willing to
d6 your duty as a citizen at the polls.
No matter how "big" you are your
