supervision of Mr. F. W. Hard
ing, Chicago, 111 who is Secre
tary of this organization
The sale will be at the Fair
Grounds also known as Riverside
Park, Asheyille, N. C.
We have Che assurance of the
Association, through Mr. Hard
ing, that no cattle will be put on
sale that will not be a credit to
his Association, as well as to the
farmer who makes the purchase.
These cattle' will be ' in the
States one or more days before
the day of sale, and all prospect
ive buyers are urged unoni to be
on hand at least one day before
the sale and locate the individual
bull or heifer desired and make
up his mind on the quality and
price of the animal.
Mr. R. S. Curtis and Mr. K.
C. Ikeler, of West Raleigh, N. C.
who have charge of the Beef Cat
tle business in North Carolina
will be there two or three days
in advance'pf fhe sale apd-. wtU
advise with farmers relative to
quality and price of stock. '
No one need be alarmed about
mouth and foot disease; as every
animal offered for sale will carry
with him a certificate of Reg
istration, aud also a certificate
of tuberculine test and freedom
from foot and mouth trouble
from the State Veternarian of
North Carolina.
All farmers in ' Madison who
desire, to join the progressive
movement in this County, should
attend this sale and be among
the leaders of the movement.
Nothing will add as much just
now to any community in the
county as to bring in a pure bred
bull. '
YV here a settlement has no one
man able or willing to buy one,
it two or more farmers join and
buy one co-operatively; which
will be done in many places. .
He said that had The Hague Tri
bunal of 1907 achieved anywhere
nearly as much as its projectors
had hoped, it would have pre
vented the present war. .
This world court,"-said Mr.
Hammond, "is the first step to
render possible any limitation of

creation of this court do not ex
pect thereby to obviate : the pos

than medical science1 can avail to

can banish ignorance, or religion
put a stop to wickedness.' The
most that is expected is that such
a court will minimize the danger
of.wars. There can be no quest
