M. Jeffors, vice president and general
manager, who have both given their
onthiiHiastic su'pport to the project and

roster of all men in tho military ser
vice and to keep completoly posted
tho military history of each of those
mon, noting in particular all pro
motions in rank, all citations of brav
ery and tho award of medals for dis

There aro somo words In tho English language thnt
moan much moro to me than many other. Tho
words, Mother, Wife, Chlldron, Lovo, Kindness, Char
ity, Forglvness, IIopo, Enorgy, Suceoss ouch is a
word subjoct for a volume. Tho "Mother" always
brings to us holy thoughts and stills tho passions of
tho lowest down. Woro I allowed to add ono moro
word und could go Into tho animal kingdom to find
it, I would select thnt word tho nanio of tho breed
that has done so much for tho human race tho word
"Shorthorn. With duo respect to all othor breeds
of cattle thoro aro fow to dlsputo thoso statomonta:
The Shorthorn brood Is tho ploneor breed in America;
It Is tho cosmopolitan brood.
Shorthorns are tho moBt practical, coming the
nearest ns they do to bolng nll-purposo cattle. Fow
fnrmors can afford to keop ono breed for milk and
buttor and anothor for boot',. Tho Shorthorn suppllos
both, and the blood has dono moro to improvo tho
country's cuttlo than all tho othor breeds combined.
Tho Shorthorn breed and tho grados havo given us
more boot", buttor and milk than all tho other broods
combined. Thnt Is explained by tho fnct that Short
horns have been tho choice of tho groat majority of
men who have kept cattlo. Thoso bolng well known
facts with no ono to dispute, how could I Bolect any
othor word than "Shorthorn to add to my list? Hy
