Attention
Farmers:

Why remain i'll the North and
stay i'll doors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months
Go South where you can work
ont doors every month in the
year, and where you are produc-
ing something the year round
If you are stock raiser YOU
know your stock are now eat
ing their heads off" and, be.
sides, have to be protected from
the rigors of winter by expen
sive shelter. Cost of production
determines place of production,
and Alabama and Florida can
produce beef and sheep cheaper
than any other state, and must
become the center of great in
dustry already begun Econ
omical stock feeding requires
the combination of both flesh
forming and fat forming foods
in certain proportions. Ala
bama and Florida contain mil
lions of acres of unutilized
cheap range, and these lands
when cultivated produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassaVa, the first flesh pro-
ducer, and the latter "A fat pro
ducer, and they are the cheap
est and best fattening materials
known to the world. If you

CRESTON, Ia, Jan. 13,-(Special.)-Edu-
Gators will be interested in the novel plan
OF N. E.. Ellsworth OF this place in the
teaching Of children under IL years of age,
which he proposes 20 put in operation here
in a short time, after ten years OF study.
1t is called the Home Invention Circle and
he proposes, by a system Of colored draw
ings and chalk and crayon work, together
with prize contests and games and pic
lures, to teach the children religion and
patriotism and develop their inventive fac
ulties. He will establish a publishing house
and manufacturing plant to test his theory.
The plan has been submitted to some Of the
best educators Of the state, who say It is
far in advance Of the present kindergarten
methods used in the schools and may be
productive Of much good. The society has
a badge and motto that all will adopt, and
should 1t prove successful among the chill
dren OF Creston, who will begin the study
as soon as plans can be completed, he pro-
poses to make the organization national in
scope and try and have 1t adopted in the

crossing, stated she was looking out Of the
window when she noticed Stacey drive on
the crossing and then attempt to back the
team on when the train whistled. He was
too late, however. and Mrs. Green saw
the train strike the wagon, which wa
smashed to pieces.
Stacey was "a years OF age and his chill
dren are 8 and 5 years old. Mrs. Stacey
was Frustrated yesterday when she learned
