THE STATUE TURNING TO LIFE.

As far as we know every visitor at the trilby show was delighted to watch the magician turn the cold statue in white to a living, moving young lady of rare beauty. But Jasper county can boast of more real and practical deeds performed every season by some of her up-to-date stockmen. For example, James T. Randle and Barney D. Comer, as well as many have all spring been performing the magical art of converting a statue of Acme Food into gold and silver by feeding Acme Food to fattening cattle. The owners of the 220 prize-win-ners at the Fat Stock Show in Chicago last fall performed the same feat.
