CIRCUS GIRL IS HEROINE OF
 BEST SELLING NOVEL.

Being the author of the best selling novel in America is the distinction that belongs to John Breckenridge Ellis, a writer of Plattsburg, Mis- souri. Nlr Ellis is the author of Fran, one of the late spring books. which from the time of it's publica- ton has been warmly received and which now heads the list of the six best sellers by a generous margin.
 Although he is still d young man, Mr. Ellis has for many years been Q close student of literature. and was at one time professor of English lit erature in Plattsburg college an in stitution of which his father was president. MT Ellis talent for writ ing is perhaps in part inherited, since his father has long been known ais a critic and essayist and has made many metrical translations from the Latin. Greek and Hebrew But there is likewise a polish and technique displayed in the work of John Breck- crridge Ellis which betrays the hand of the careful student and from the great masters of English composition he has absorbed those pleasing qual- tiles which give charm to his work and make it intensely appeal img.
 In Fran Mr. Ellis tells a story which. although out Of the ordinary. is, ,nevertheless. a reflection of hu- n,an life. and he develops a situation which holds the interest of the read f in vicc-like grip. From the mo- Aent the heroine makes her appear Since one instinctively senses that thcre is T mystery about her. and

DOESN'T ENJOY HIS IDlENESS.
First Vacation in Forty Years Worries
 Probate Clerk.

William Daech of Edwardsville, Mo. is enjoying" his first vacation in forty years.
 Daecn, whose uninterru pted work for four decades has been at the Madison county courthouse. is spending most of his vacation visiting the boys at the courthouse. Even at that he was heard to mumbiC to a friend:
 "A hea.thy man don't exactly need a vacation. if seems to me"
 Daech. who is 76 years old was ap- pointed chief deputy circuit clerk at the Madison county courthouse in 1886. In the early sos he was circuit clerk. In one capacity or another he has worked i.I every clerical department at the building. At present he is deputy probate clerk.
 He is the bureau of information at the courthouse. If any department has a tangle, a document is missing or q description cannot be traced there is a call for Daech. who always. sets the matter to rights.
 Recently somebody asked him why he never took a vacation A few days later he received notice he could take off a few weeks at full pay. He spent day or two lOafing around town, az. ways gravitating towards the court. house. He admitted that taking a va cation ia not the fun it is supposed t0 be.
 I'm not enjoying my vacation,' hf said. "TId rather be back at my desk and at work. I walk around town and visit few old chums and try to con- vince myself I'm having a good time If wer" not afraid of offending Pre- bate Clerk Coppinger. who gave me tha vacation.

THE MISSIONARIES
 >bFl1HE INDIANS 
Inter -Denominssionat:Meeting D. at Flag
 staff Beginning Aug. 13.

The interdsnpfn fninational meeting of the Southws Est {Indian Conference at Flagstaff, sAugust 1925 inclusive, promises to be>jnteresting and helpful. The openfg week will be occupied by Bible study, with A. c. Gaebelein of New York and Rev. P. V. Jenness. Den yer. Colo, as- teachers. The last five days will be given to addresses and re- ports from Snissionaries on the field intersperseds with Bible readings by Rev A. B, Prichard of Los Angeles.
 This is tne sixth annual conference and is atteuded by missionaries to the Indians, byE pastors and other Chris tan worKers A larger attendance than usual is expected this year, on account of the special effort that has been made to secure strong Bible teachers.
 The di1fctors of the conference eX- tend a oaifal invitation to pastors and Chrstians workers throughout the Southweet to attend this gathering. Flagstaff is a delightful place in the month ,ofi August, and arrangements are made py which the expense of those is reduced to the minimum. Rooms cost at the rate of about $10 month and meals at the boarding club about 2C cents.

as this mystery is unfolded little by little, the interest grows and is sus- tained until the final pages are reached
 Mir. Ellis has been daring in that he has made Fran so entirely un- conventional. but it is this very un- ConventiOnality which makes the character strong and sets if off in marked contrast to the other char acters of the tale And again, the author has made direct appeal to general interest in making his strange little heroine circus performer.
 Despite the fact that the circus is one of the oldest forms of amuse- ment. and there are few towns so small that they are not visited by q circus every wear or so, there is no class of people so little known as those who nhabit the circus world, and who are seen by the public only as they appear in the ring. They seem different from others-a caste by themselves, for their only contact with the world at large is when they are appearing in an artificial atmosphere. The ordinary man or woman is prone to forget that be- heath the tights and spangles. the blare and WhOop-la, circus people are just as human as other people. just as loving and kindly and are gov erned by the same impulses
 of these is Fran. and with fine and sympathetic touches the author has given his readers a wonderfully true pears away from her everyday work. MT Ellis has never been associated with circuses or circus performers, and that he has succeeded so ad-

mirably in the portrayal of this char acter is owing to the unusual in sight he has into human nature. and his ability to read character at sight. Before his book was pub lished the manuscript was sent to d newspaper man who was for long tune connected with America's great est circus as a press representative
 After reading the story this man. who knew circus people thoroughly, expressed himself as believing that Fran reflected more truly the real circus spirit than any other book which has ever been written on this subject-The Bobbs- Merrill Company

SOLVING THE OLD PROBLEM.

When Sir Thomas Lipton was a small boy in Scotland he dropped into a church one Sunday morning and was put by himself in a pew directly in front of the minister who preached sermon pr the txet, Am I my broth CTS keeper?"
 The parson. who was unusually elO- quent, talked on his theme for about forty minutes and finally worked up to the climax of his remarks. He kept his gaze fixed directly on the little LiptOn, who began to fidget and look very self conscious. At last. after an overwhelming outpouring of long words the minister. his eyes blazing. made quick gesture and shouted at the boy:
 Am 1 llX brothers keeper?'
 Lipton could stand the strain no longer. and replied. in meek voice:
 No, sIr'-The Popular Magazine.

LAWSON BROWN URGES
EDUCATION IN FARMING
President of Georgia Union
Says Agricultural Teaching
Is Needed in Schools
Especial dispatch to The Journal3

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
UNION CITY, Ca, June 22.-President
Lawson E. Brown. OF the Georgia Divi-
sion of the Farmers National Educational
and Cooperative Union. has issued a
statement urging the teaching of agri-
culture in schools. His statement fol-
lows:
To the General Public: The highest pos
sible honors should be given to the Far
mers' Educational and Cooperative I'm
ion Of America. for they are great fac
tors in bringing about we'll thought out
methods in scientific farming, and will
place this great commonwealth in the
front ranks of this union.
Already over three and a quarter mil
lion have enlisted under it's banner and
the following are some of the things for
which the farmers union are contend
ing:
A. To eliminate gambling in farm prod
ucts by board of trade. cotton exchan-
ges and other spectators.
B, To assist our members in buying
and selling.
C. To bring farmers up to the standard
of other industries and business enter
prises.
d. To systematic methods of produc-
ton and distribution.
+. To strive for harmony and good VIII
among all mankind and brotherly love
among ourselves. ".
+. To garner the tears of the dis
tressed, the blood of martyrs, the laugh
of innocent childhood, the sweat Of
honest labor and the virtue of happy
home as the brightest jewels known.
CROP CONDITIONS
A lack of preparation for a good SEED
bed means that rapid and shallow Gull
tivation should follow as the crop condi-
uons are about three weeks later than
usual. The cotton acreage is reduced,
while corn acreage is increased which is
an omen Of better times, as corn. is
now selling for $L25 per busheI, and hay
from $5 to $40 per ton. Be on the
safe side and raise your own home sup
plies, both for man and beast and your
needs from the outside world will be
few
The time is near at hand when the
farmer will have more recognition and
more attention will be given to teach
ing agriculture in our schools The civili-
zed world is now endeavoring to prevent
the wild flight and sudden fall of cot
ton and the Farmers Union of America
are using their best efforts to have en-
acted laws, that viii hasten the move
ment, but so many politicians are in
office that the task seems long and tire
some at times. President Barrett says:
nine-tenths OF the promises the politici-
ans make with a smiling face are Spoken
simply for the purpose of catching votes.
There is no desire or intention to re-
deem them.
Respectfully,
(Signed) LAWSON e. BROWN.
State President.

QUITMAN. Ca. June 22.-The first car
Of watermelons were loaded here several
days ago by Messrs. Jared and James
Johnson. and the second loaded by c. A.
Davis, followed closely. marking the
opening of the melon season. These early
melons were of the Watson variety
Some time within the next week the
Kolb Gems will begin to make their
appearance in the market, though the
local buyers are urging the growers not
to rush these melons on the market in
half-green condition.
They say the logical time for the south
Georgia melon is just on the heels of the
Florida melons, and there is no ad-
vantage in getting into the market with
them before the Florida melons are ex-
hausted. The buyers declare this was
done last year and the Florida fruit
brought $50 a car more than the Geor-
gia shipments because the latter were
not in a merchantable condition. Quit
man is one of the best melon markets
buyers-Fuller Grower, o. X. Jelks, F.
H. Johnson, ]. d. Wilson and E. NJ.
Espey-and always a number from other
points come here for the season.
The crop this year will be much less
than that of last year, which was a phe-
nomenal one IN every way. The melon
acreage is 20 per cent less than it was
last year and the crop will be reduced
as to the yield per acre, also. Crop
conditions generally have not been so
favorable this spring but a very fair
crop is expected
