WHY JULY
DEGENERATED

The tendency for the national
holiday to run into mere noise and
hoodlumism, was due to a change
in the way the grown-ups observe
the day.
Years ago there used to be pro-
cessions, picnics, athletics and a
general jollification, The young
sters were content with two inch
fire crackers and simple pin wheels.
Then the leading citizens of the
community became tired Of getting
up patriotic festivals. 1t took too
much time, and they wanted to make
trips here and there.
Feeling that there ought to be
something DOING, the boy under
took to fill the gap. Under their
rule there came the dynamite
cracker and the Deadly Fourth.
The modern tendency toward
pageants, picnics and athletics is
simply return to the Spirit of the
original fourth, more or less modi-
fed to suit modern needs. Let all
take hold and make it so lively that
the small Boy won't feel it is up to
him to do all the celebrating
the night before!

WHERE TO BUY
SUMMER SUPPLIES

Formerly when the vacation
habit was not developed, trade used
to slacken little at a time. In
this restless age, people are about
ready to move on to summer re-
resorts or to visit their country or
city cousins. AS one always puts
his best foot forward in going
among strangers, a whole lot of
purchases are being made.
The advertising columns of this
newspaper tell where you can buy
all kinds of summer, outing, vaca-
ton and athletic supplies to adj
vantage. The merchants usually
shade prices at this time of year.
They are always fearful of carry
ing stock over until fall. If you
have things to buy, you can save
money by reading the news from
the stores.
A considerable number of strang-
erS are in town now. Most of them
buy the local newspaper to see
what is going on here. To these
transient readers, it can be said
that the local stores are we'll
worth visit. The advertising
columns Of this journal supply a di-
rectory of enterprising merchants.

READY TO BEGIN WORK ON

The promoters of the Holiness
college on the old Bill Huffman
farm five miles north of Ava are
preparing to begin work in the
immediate future. They intended
TO survey the town site this week,
but were unable to get in touch
with Surveyor Dunn in time. The
surveying will likely be done next
week.
About 10 acres will be surveyed
and plotted for the town site and
placed on sale.
The school building and cam
pus ground will occupy 10 acres
and will be located on the hick-
DRY flat ON the west side of the
old Ava-Mansfield road. Graham
Wallace will set his sawmill on
the site at once and saw timber
for the building. They intend to
have the building completed and
ready to begin school work about
May, 1914.
In addition TO the regular com
mon school subjects, they will
have classes in Bible study. The
present plans are to use the lower
part of the building for church
and Sunday school services, and
the upper part for the regular
school work.
Mr.. j.. Nj. O'Brien of the State
Holiness association is assisting in
the enterprise. We wish them sue

idly, but the average dairy farm
Ell is not getting as good returns
as he should, largely by reason
of three things:
LIST. He is not testing his cows
so is to know just what each one
is producing, and, as a result. he
is keeping many Improbable
cows. One half of his herd is
eating up the profits made by the
other half and he wonders why
he does not make money. BY
proper testing and wedding out,
his profits can easily be made
many times larger.
md. Many dairy farmer are
milking beef and scrub cows not
adapted to milk production,
whose milk yield is so low that
no money can be made with them
There m dairy bred cows in
which the natural tendency to
give milk is so highly developed
that they will use all their sur
plus feed in milk production. BY
the use of such cows, loss can be,
and frequently is turned into Il
handsome profit.
3D.. Many cows also are being
MIXED which have a good capac-
ity for milk production. but from
which no profit is realized, either
because the feed used is not a.
dapted to milk production, or not
enough Of it is fed to produce a
good flow of milk. Without the
raw material Qeed) from which
milk is mede, no COW can pro.
duce a good yield.
The purpose of this Dairy In
struction Car is to help the dairy
farmer overcome these three DIFF
ticulties. A very easy and sim
pie way of testing cows to know
