Instead of racing down the high-

Abraham Lincoln
THE GREAT
EMANCIPATOR
# Monday, February 12, is the an-
niversary of the birth of Abraham
Lincoln, known as the Great Emanci-
pator. In the years since Lincoln's
death, there has been a growing ap-
preciation and respect for the great-
ness of this American of humble birth
_ who served as President during one
of the most tragic periods in Ameri-
can history.
ELECTRICITY—
THE MODERN EMANCIPATOR'
• Redely Kilowatt's contribution to history comes in a much
happier period of human existcncc. Today, electricity is re-
garded as the "modern emancipator," freeing millions of
women from household drudgery, making their days easier
and their homes more comfortable. >
This freeing of women from unnecessary work wasn't just an
accident. Years of planning, work, and investment of many
millions of dollars, together with constant labor day and
night by thousands of employes, were necessary to bring to
your home and other homes the benefits of this economical,
useful servant.

Work Stock In
South Valued at
Half Billion
With five Cotton Belt States-
Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Ala-
bama, and North Carolina— lead-
ing the nation in number of
mules, and the value of South-
ern horses and mules totaling
approximately half a billion dol-
lars, livestock leaders are stress-
ing work stock production and
feeding, along with other live-
stock development.
In stressing the need for bet-
ter care of work stock, Doctor
Milton P. Jarnagin, University of
Georgia, has said, "From the
standpoint of , capital invested
and services rendered, horses
and mules are our major live-
stock enterprise." To this, Ne-
well and Goddell of the Missis-
sippi Extension Service add,
"Feeding, management and pro-
duction of work stock are prob-
lems of major importance in
Mississippi, as they are in farm-
ing sections of all countries."
Proper Care Stressed
Recognizing the importance
of the south's work stock in-
vestments "College Experiment
Station and Extension authori-
ties emphasize the importance
of proper care of idle work
stock, brood mares, colts and
yearlings during winter and
early spring months. Where
pastures afford grazing, the idle
horse or mule can be kept in
good condition on two pounds of
cottonseed meal or cake, daily,
with hay and cottonseed hulls,
feeding little or no grain. Graz-
ing is especially valuable for
green feed and exercise during
winter months, while sheds to
protect animals on pasture from
cold and rain also help to keep
work stock in good condition.
Where grazing is not avail-
able, growing colts and yearl-
ings can be wintered on hay or
hay and hulls plus a daily ra-
tion of one pound of cottonseed
meal or pea-size cake, per head,
with 3 to 5 pounds of. grain for
colts and 5 to 7 pounds of grain
for yearlings. Successful work
stock raisers recognize the value
of pastures, and provide good
grazing as many months as pos-
sible.
Short Time To Condition
With, proper care and feeding
during winter months, only a
short time is needed to get work
animals into condition to do hea-
vy spring work. Good results
are obtained from giving horses
and mules adequate feed and
exercise during a fitting per-
iod" of two to four weeks prior
to putting them at heavy work.
Rations of proven value for
the "fitting period", or for stock
at light work and for brood
mares suckling colts, are:
No. 1—Ground ear corn with
husks, 6 pounds: cottonseed
meal, 2 pounds, and hay or bun-
dled fodder, 12 pounds.
No. 2—Corn, oats or molas-
ses, 4 pounds: cottonseed meal,
2 pounds; hay, 0 pounds, and
cottonseed hulls, 6 pounds.
More grain and cottonseed
meal are needed for animals at
heavy work, and the followin|
daily amounts, for horses or
mules weighing about 1,000
pounds, are widely-used by Cot-
ton Belt farmers:
No. 1—Corn, oats, milo head
chops or ground barley, 10
pounds; cottonseed meal or cake,
2 pounds; and hay, 12 pounds.
No. 2—Corn and cob meal, 10
pounds; cottonseed meal, 2 1-2
pounds; and legume or grass
hay, 11 pounds.

Garner Backers
Firing Smudge;
GOP Drive Opens
Lincoln Day Speeches
Scheduled Monday
Night at Many Places
BY LVLE C. WILSON
WASHINGTON — (UP) —
Republicans in hundreds of Lin-
coln Day meetings join Mon-
day night in attack on the new
deal.
The celebration coincides with
a renewed campaign by demo-
cratic conservatives to smoke
out President Roosevelt on the
question of a third term.
Supporters of Vice President
John N. Garner are firing the
third term smudge. But despite
pressure from Garner, neither
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D.,
Mont., nor Postmaster General
James A. Farley has consented
to announce for president re-
gardless of Mr. Roosevelt's
plans. Garnerites are insisting,
however, that they will be able
to force Mr. Roosevelt to reveal
his plans.
Farley Filed In Massachusetts
Farley, who generally is
counted against a third term,
has made no public statement
on the question. But this week-
end he gave permission for his
name to be entered in the April
30 Massachusetts presidential
primary.
Garner men welcomed the
move although it fell short of
the hoped-for direct challenge to
Mr..Roosevelt. Some of Farley's
associates, however, are confi-
dent he would actively oppose
the renomination of Mr. Roose-
velt although he, himself, would
not seek the nomination if the
president tried again.
In that event, Farley dele-
gates—and he expects to con-
trol more of them than any oth-
er man—probably would be de-
livered to Secretary of State
Cordell Hull or to Garner or
any other conservative who
would have their support and
Mr. Roosevelt's as well. Vital in
anti-third tei;m decocratic stra-
tegy this year are first to block
Mr. Roosevelt and, second, to
turn up with a conservative can-
didate he will support.
Without the president's active
campaign support the democra-
tic ticket would be at a tre-
mendous disadvantage, a fact,
which generally is accepted here
and which arouses ceaseless in-
terest in the question whether
either Garner or Wheeler would
be acceptable to tfie new deal
wing of the party.
GOP May Meet July 4
On the republican front, some
party leader predicted that their;
national convention might meet
July 4, and that choice of a
convention city lay between
Chicago and Philadelphia. The
republican national committee
will select the place and the
date when it meets here Feb. 18.
First partial test of third term
sentiment is scheduled now for
March 12, when New Hampshire
democrats vote on an "official'
slate of convention delegates
pledged to Mr. Roosevelt. The
slate was filed by State Chair-
man Robert C. Murchie and so
far no opposition delegates have
come forward.
Garner and Mr. Roosevelt will
hit head on April 2 and 9 in Ill-
inois and Wisconsin primaries
although the president's name-
was entered without his sanc-
tion and, in Illinois, minus the
signed declaration of candidacy
which may be necessary to make
the filing legal. Dewey and Rep.
Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y., will
contest the Illinois republican
primary and Dewey and Van-
denberg will be opponents in
Wisconsin.
Australians Join
Huge Suez Army
SUEZ, Egypt — (UP)—Aus-
tralian and New Zealand troops
arrived Monday after a voyage
of more than 8,000 miles, to be
greeted by the frenzied cheers
of the city.
The tall, tough, tanned troops
whose fathers had gone through
the terrible Dardanelles cam-
paign and had fought in Pales-
tine, in Salonica, in France and
in Belgium, disembarked under
their World War hero command-
ers, Lieut. Gen. Sir Thomas Bla-
ney, leading the "second Aus-
tralian imperial force," and Maj.
Gen. B. C. Freyberg command-
ing the New Zealand expedi-
tionary force.
They came to join an army, es-
timated by some at upwards of
1,000,000 men, composed of Brit-
ish and French regulars, French
foreign legionnaires, British In-
dian and French colonial troops
and the Egyptian and Turkish
armies, ready for any eventual-
ity in the near East,.

Court Refuses to
Hear Dam Attack
WASHINGTON — (UP)—The
supremo court Monday refused
to accept Oklahoma's suit seek-
ing to prevent construction of
the proposed $54,000,000 Deni-
son dam, which is bitterly oppos-
ed by Gov. Leon C. Phillips.
The action was taken by an
equally-divided court. Justice
Frank Murphy took no part.
It apparently leaves the way
open for a new appeal by the
state. The case was argued be
fore Murphy was sworn in. If it
were re-argued now, his vot'e
might change the result.
The court gave no written
opion and did not disclose the
position of the eight justices
participating.
