AN AUTOGRAPH HANDKERCHIEF

AN AUTOGRAPH HANDKERCHIEF
In addition to embroidering ones
best-beloved's handkerchiefs by hand,
one now also inscribes the letters on
the linen in the handwriting he is
supposed to cherish most highly.
The very latest fad is the handwritten
mouchoir, and the lettering, whether
1t be merely the recipients initials
or the whole name written across one
corner, must be dashed off with a
sharp pencil in characteristic chirog-
raphy. Provided the writing be not
too small. the embroidering of such
letters is not difficult matter, and
- gift is pretty bit of sentiment
sure to prove acceptable.-Washing-

Quite an important athletic event

pens next Saturday Mrch, ~. 1t is
the annual basket ball contest be
tween the local high school teams
and Paducah's high school teams
The date is being looked forward
to with interest by almost every
lover OF the game in Cairo. Last
year only the boy teams Of the two
highs played but this year the varsity
girl teams will play also,
Coach Allen says the contests are
sure to be won by the C. H. S. boys
team, Since the five played at Mt
Vernon last Saturday they have
strengthened themselves greatly.
They are considerably faster on their
feet and have learned many new
passes and throws. c. II. S. over
whelmingly defeated Paducah in bas
lket ball last year and certainly ex-
pect to repeat the trick this time
Paducah is said however to have a
very fast bunch of boy players, so
liz that's the case the battle will no
doubt be a hard fought one and very
interesting.
Miss Eva Rule, who is coaching the
&c. Fl. S. gir' teams this season is
proud of the advancement made by
the girls in basket ball this season
The first team which will meet Padu-

Both teams from c. II. s. will go

early train, play in the afternoon,
ond come back the same evening.
Present prospects point to throng

Already about three score have
verbally signified their intention of
going and this number bids fair 10

to the department of fomento the
fact that that state was suffering
from 4 locust plague, which had
originated in the district OF the Ia
basco-Campeche boundary and was
spreading over the entire neighbor-
hood
Reports of Che corn harvest IN the
state of yucatan received by the de-
pariment indicate tbet the locust has
rot injured the creps there to any
great extent this year. yet for se,--
eral years past the losses from this
plague have been quite severe
The department immediately upon
receipt Of the information, sent a
large consignment Of anti-locust mush-
rooms, which when grown In a COM
munity are said to lessen the ravaxes
Of the insects. 1t in said that this
method Of eradication has been Of III.
tie service in the states of Yucatan.

the difference In climate from that
which prevails in the districts where
the mushroom has been successfully
tried 1t is said. however, that the

to assume the attitude of
knowing how to raise
corn; for. they argue. have they not been doing
it for thirty years? 1t is difficult to change this
attitude. and therefore difficult to reach the
farmer, for whom prosperity awaits if he will
only farm as he should. But when the boy, on
the same land his father has cultivated all his
life, actually produces four times as much as
the father has, there is the obvious demonstra-
ton. There is no way of getting around it.
The father in most cases will be convinced
and will change his methods. If he does not,
the boy who has done this thing is convinced
and he will next year farm more land in the
same way. The coming generation. at least.
will farm in a different way. The boy finds
that there is a demand for his corn for seed.
If he raised seventy bushels. he may sell fifty
of it for two dollars bushel for seed. That
brings a hundred dollars; it has cost him thirty
dollars to farm his acre; and he has twenty
bushels of seed corn left.
He begins to figure the possibilities of a
forty-acre field. On the safe basis of fifty
bushels to the acre, seventy cents to the
bushel, fifteen dollars an acre for cultivation,
he has a profit of twenty dollars an acre. or
eight hundred dollars for the field. His father
has spent seven dollars and fifty cents acre
in cultivation and harvested fifteen bushels, at
a profit of three dollars to the acre. He has
been all wrong, and between his way and that
prosperity and misery. The boy is going in for
the prosperity, and it awaits him.
The Department of Agriculture is anxious to
start a club in every district in the whole South
1t has an agent near any school teacher or col
lection of boys, no matter where located, and
this agent is anxious to give such a plan his
personal attention So any teacher, any bust
ness man, any class of boys, in all that great
region that lies between the Potomac and the
Rio Grande, has only to write to DR.. Knapp to
get the thing started. There is great chance
for the farmers of the future to get started right
and great numbers of them are taking adj
vantage of it.
