New England Herald: W. J.. Moz-
ley, who has a large farm on Antelope
creek eight miles southeast of Dickin-
son. was in town last week to get a load
of corn from one of the New England
elevators. He has a big bunch of hogs
and wants corn to finish fattening the
porkers. MIR. Motley is one of Stark
county's most practical farmers. He
has been farming in this country for
six years and this is the first season he
did not get a big crop. Last year when
some of his neighbors got light crops,
Mr.. Motley got 27H bushels of wheat to
the acre and 80 bushels of oats. From
800 acres of crop last year he marketed
over 81, 200 worth of grain. This year
Mr.. Mozley's cows and hogs helped
him out wonderfully. Mr.. Motley be-
lieves in following as far as possible
the Campbell dry farming methods TO
conserve the n necessary thing, moist
ure. and says he never saw such favor
able conditions for a bumper crop than
the prospects for 1912.

eight O'Clock to twelve. the library book
committee has arranged for a general
good time for everybody, young and old,
in the High School auditorium and
gymnasium, with games, cards, dane
ing, lunch and a spelling match. No
written invitations will be issued but
everybody is invited and the committee
hopes the response will be general. In
the auditorium will be a large number
of tables for cards and other games and
music has been secured for dancing in
the gymnasium. Fifteen adults have
been asked to spell against fifteen high
school pupils and this contest promises
to be exceedingly entertaining. Each
maid and matron is asked to bring a
basket, as dainty as she can make it,
containing lunch for two. two cups, two
spoons and a card bearing her name.
These baskets will be put up at auction,
the minimum price being soc. The
bidding by the men and boys will prcb-
ably be quite lively. Coffee. with cream
and sugar, will be served by the COM
mittee for five cents a cup. Each lady
bringing a basket as described and each
gentleman purchasing one will have all
the PRIVILEGES of the games and dance
without further charge. Arrange to
come promptly at eight, the ladies to
get their baskets early to market, the
gentlemen to be on hand for first choice
of baskets when the bidding begins and
all to be ready for the games and dan
cling following the auction. The pro-
ceeds of the evening will all be used
for books and magazines for the
library, the need of which all realize.
