There will be lecture and musical
entertainment given on Monday,
June 12, 1911 at Ehrhardt in Cope
land town hall at $3.50 o'clock o. M.

is needless to say that such a COM

success, as progress seems to be the
slogan for this little town. Mr..
Vaughan, the lecturer, comes highly
recommended by some of the most
able men of South Carolina. His
subject is: "Matrimony; It's Use and
Abuse; or Is Matrimony Farce or q

the way to increased averages of corn produc-

solution OF the increased cost OF living. And no
oldtime farmer can sneer that the showings
made In this twentieth-century corn growing are
spurts Of no practical Significance. On the con-
trary the government officials have applied mod
ern bookkeeping methods to the business side OF
the proposition and the reported costs Of produc-
ton can be accepted as fair actual costs.
The yields made during the past season by
these young corn growers have been truly aston

one Mississippi county 4S boys averaged %
bushels per acre. In one South Carolina county
20 boys produced LOO bushels Of corn on 20
acres. In another county In that same state 142
boys averaged GO bushels per acre. One lad
made 81 900 from a single acre OF corn. Jerry
Moore Of Winona, S. c., the champion corn
grower OF the world. got the amazing yield OF
22S bushels to the acre. Steve Henry OF Louisi-
ana carried off the highest honors for economical
farming, producing on his acre nearly 40 bushels
at a cost OF only Is cents per bushel. Joe Stone
Of Georgia, youngest and smallest of the national
prize winners. is only eleven years OF age, but
he produced 102 bushels to the acre at n cost OF
20 cents per bushel. Next season the scope
OF the corn-growing competition is to be greatly
extended and the government may also strive
to get the country girls OF the United States
into a similar competition, only, Of course. II will
not be corn growing but vegetable gardening with

Those Church Suppers!

Church sales, dinners, teas and the like are
not only means for promoting social enjoyment
and incidentally of replenishing the treasures
of the organizations which provide them. These
functions serve n real and valuable economic
purpose, as is indicated by the lady whom Edna
X. Wooley quotes In the Toledo Blade. This
lady. weary of the work of providing three meals
a day for her family. consisting of herself, her
husband and her daughter. finds "A new Joy in
living at this time of year. and explains why:
Last night we went TO a roast beef dinner. To-
night We are going TO n Methodist progressive
supper. My husband hates those progressive
suppers, because We start with soup at the
church, you know, then 20 to some house for the
meat course and finish up at some other house
for the dessert. He says when he sits down to a
meal he likes to finish the job on the spot, in
stead of getting up every little while, putting on
his hat and coat and galloping out into the cold
and cruel world to resume his eats at some other
stand. But | think It's fun. It's n blessed change.
Tomorrow night we go to. a Presbyterian church
supper. That's only 25 cents, too, and don't
see how they do IT for the money. The next one
after that is an Episcopal turkey supper, and the
next Is also a turkey supper at the Unitarian

scouting around soon came to the conclusion
that as good or better corn than America had
ever known could be raised in prolific quantity
In the south II only the people south OF Mason
and Dixons line could be aroused to the pos
sibilities lying dormant at their doors.
Waking up these southern farmers to their

one of the most efficient organizations In Uncle

many of the fathers have taken the lessons to

tivated as the book chaps at the agricultural

to the new ideas and have announced that hence
forth they will cultivate corn the way their sons
have been doing these past few months. II will
mean only a fraction more time and work and 1t
means production doubled or trebled or quad
rupled.
OF course the government gave instructions
to these lads as to how to till the soil in the most
advantageous manner. but the enthusiasm which
resulted In corn harvests that have made the
whole world sit up and take notice was inspired
by competitive contests Tor the winners IN Which
all sorts of prizes were offered-township prizes.

eminent did not offer these prizes. Uncle Sam
has no money available for such purposes, but
the department of agriculture engineered the
whole scheme and got the public-spirited citizens
Of more than a dozen states so interested that
they put up the prizes mentioned. Individuals
such as bankers and merchants and organiza

sire to interfere with the growing OF
our greatest agricultural staple In
that broad section of the country
where corn has long been the princi-
pal standby of the farmer. The new
plan of the department OF agricul.
ture-for of course that is the branch
OF u government machinery that has
charge of this new actiyity-is simply
in effect to make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before.
Although all the world has been
gasping in establishment these many
years past at the bumper crops OF
corn this country turns out each year,
the experts of the government some
time since came to the conclusion
that great as was the national corn
yield It was not as big as It ought to
be-. Furthermore, they thought they
forcsaw a time when, with our rapidly
growing population. the corn crop
would not be any % big for our own
American appetite and, of course, II
that came to pass, We would lose more
or less of our foreign trade, for a vast
quantity of Yankee corn products now
find their way to dinner tables over
seas.
On the theory of a stitch In time
The agricultural sharps proceeded TO
get busy over this impending prob.
lem. First they set about increasing

Stockslaeer Named Judge.

Charles o. Stockslager of Twin
Falls was appointed associate judge
of the Fourth district, on February
thirteenth and assumed duties on
February fourteenth.
The Fourth district is composed OF
Blaine, Cassia, Twin Falls, Elmore
and Lincoln counties. Judge Edward
A. Walters, elected last fall as Re-
publican, will share the honors Of pre-
siding over the district with Judge
Stockslager, who lis a Democrat.
Judge Stocksiager is one of the well
known public men of the state. For
eight years he served as judge of the
district court. Following this he was
chief justice of the supreme court of
the state for six years. Four years
ago he was the Democratic candi-
date for governor of the state, and
two years ago he received his party's s
nomination for United States sena-
tor. Since his retirement from the
bench, Judge Stockslager has prac-
iced law in Twin Falls where he
established his home.
This honor did not go to Judge
Stockslager without opposition. Fri.
ends of Attorney Arthur M. Bowen
In all parts of the state brought pres
sure to bear upon Governor Hawley
to induce him to appoint to this po-
sition ON the bench the man who led
the forlorn hope for congress in this
state last fall. Mr.. Bowen is the law
partner of Judge Stockslager and
this fact barred him from making AN
active canvass for the position. but it
did not bar hds friends from making
fight for him. The fight between
the partners was in the best of spirit,
but none the Less vigorous on that
account.

Board, for a mass meeting which was
held in the Opera House Saturday
evening for the purpose OF giving the
public an opportunity to hear the
reports and explanations OF Mr.. Blake
regarding a water works system in
all its details also to secure an opdn.
ion in general as to the question of
a municipal system as against a
franchise.
After few preliminary remarks by
the chairman, Mr.. Blake was intro
duced and gave a most comprehe ensi ve
and satisfactory resume of surveys.
estimate of cost, manner of construc-
tion, material necessary ETC., all ac-
cording to the most modern and SCI
entific principles.
Mr.. Bake answered numerous QueS-
tions in concise and satisfactory
manner and named few of the ad-
vantages of a water system, increase
in the value of property, reduction of
insurance rates, as we'll as a net in
come, conservatively estimated at
$500.
