We are reliably informed that
tobacco is being grown on a large
scale in several counties in this
state. and the growers are making
a net profit of 800 and more per
acre. 1t is a well known fact that
tobacco can be grown successfully
right here in Wright county and
there is a cash market for every
pound that can be grown, if prop
erly prepared for market. We are
told that several years ago tobae-
co was grown here for the market,
but it is now grown only for
home use. Tobacco is a crop that
is easily grown and is practically
sure crop here in the Ozarks. No
expensive machinery is required
to plant, cultivate or prepare it
for market. If tobacco could be
grown on a large scale in Wright
county it would bring i'll many
thousand dollars new money. H.
yestigate and grow a variety that
will demand the highest price. We
believe this is. an in lustry that the
farmers should look into. If ta-
ken up at once large acreage
could be planted this year.

HOODO DAY

Don't think there has been a war
or anything of that nature in Mans
field just because you see some OF

The scars were obtained in the
every day pursuits of civilization.
Tuesday was rather a hoodoo day
here.
While starting the gasoline en-
gine in the Mirror office J. C. Carter
was struck in the forehead by a
piece which broke off the engine
and struck him between the eyes
with such force as to cut quite a
deep cash.
r. l.. Handy was saving meat in
the MIG. Hensley store and the saw
just went on saving and sawed into
his wrist making quite wound.
Clifford Robinett suffered from a
blow on the side of the head by a
piece of woodland his handsome
visage was thereby disfgured.
Then Hiram Hight's residence
caught fire-but the blaze was soon
extinguished, and some one poured
a bucket of water on Clifford Robi-
nett.
Then CTS. Surby, B A.Y. deputy,
who organized a homestead here,
had to 60 ahead and organize with
out the benefit certificates, but they
arrived the next morning.

Are you going to build a silo
this season? You will never make
a success of the dairy business uh-
til you do. Suppose that every
farmer i'll Wright county had a
100-ton silo and 10 to 20 first class
COWS. What would be the resultq
We would have one of the most
prosperous counties in the state
and your pockets and the banks
would be full of money. This is
no idle talk and it is an industry
to which this Ozark country is es-
pecially adapted. Every Ozark
farmer should work to this end.
Show us a country that makes IA
speciality of the dairy business and
we will show you a prosperous
people. The milk, cream, calves,
hogs, silo and manure to enricl,
your land is a combination that is
sure to win if given the proper at.
t,.ntion. Start this spring to build
up first class herd of milk cows
and arrange to give them the pro-
per care. 1t is a sure winner.

take and unfair advantage of the

subject to the weather conditions.
numerous practice hikes have
teen made by both the Mansfield
and the Hartville boys and good
hiking is in prospect. Some OF
the newspapers in the neiehboring
towns have taken up the matter
and are asking why the people OF
their town cannot arrange for 4
hike. The Hartville boys will ma
turally be weary upon their arri

who once were and still are
young, have made up a purse and

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAIN.
MENT,

The third oncert.entertainment
(winter 1912 '13) was given in thu
opera house Thursday evening by
the Mansfield Cornet Band, con
Quoted by w. S. Slater. !
After a few good pieces by the
orchestra, Mr.. Slater playing the
violin and Miss Keller the piano
the curtain arose with the band
playing "The Star Spangled Ban.
ner," which was greeted with ap.
plause and a standing audience
'ihen followed marches, waltzes
overtures, with few patriotic
airs that especially pleased-quite
a variety of good music, making
our people feel proud that Mans.
field had such a band.
mterspersed throughout the
program were special numbers by
home talent which received rous-
ing encores. Miss Vivian Miller
gave a piano solo with such finish
that she surprised and delighted
even her parents, friends and mu-
sic teacher. Her second piece was
also well played. The Ladies
Quartet-Misses Keller, Vida Co
day, Lula Carter and Mrs N. S.
Miller--sang two songs that took
a good measure of appreciative
demonstration. "Old Black joe
always pleases, and "Just Smiles
though your face be not so
andsome as some other fellow s
face, just smile-was a bit of ad
vice given in the encore song.
Misses Blanche Burney, in her
readings, manifested much talent
for impersonating character. First
as typical country lassie she
compels her bashful lover to pro
lose; next, mamma not to send
her to bed. The piano solo by c.
Walter Beach was well received,
but he respectfully declined to
give a second selection. The af-
terpiece played by the Henderson,
Cathcart 6 Dennis Comedy Co.,
was extremely funny Wondah ii

Prof. j. A. HyltOn, in behalf OF
the band, thanked those present
for their patronage and all who
assisted, announcing February %
as the next concert date. He
brought out the truth that few
persons realize the great amount
Of time and money it takes to pro

now boast. Let the next concert
