There are masters in the art OF
farming. just the same as there arc
masters in medicine and science, and
at a meeting of farmers such as is
brought together at the Marion Coun.
ty Agricultural Corn show, there are
almost always found such masters.
Attending the show today was Mr..
Hayhurst. venerable. hale and hearty,

works." Mr.. Hayhurst is G5 years old
and says he has raised crop OF corn
every year from almost his earliest
remembrance.
To demonstrate that life time spent
at raising corn has not been without
its recompenses. Mr.. Hayhurst this
year ON a four acre field on his farm
Mt Benton's Ferry, raised five hun.
bred bushels OF corn. This is at least
three times what the average Marion
county farmer considers fair crop.
And alongside the old hands at the
game are to be found the youngsters
who are learning its knacks and pre-
pairing themselves to carry on their
fathers noble profession. There are
the corn club boys and their exhibits
occupy n gOodly portion of the space
allotted to the display Of corn.
Clark Hibbs, n Warrington boy who
last year won first prize at the county
show has an excellent ten ears of corn
on display this year. Roy Amos, who
has become famous in the county as
boy who is doing things out of the
ordinary on the farm, has fine ex-

At the Coliseum


 ''Thc CampbelIs Are Coming" fea- turing Grace CWard and Francis Ford of the Universal Company is the military bill at the Coliseum. Miss Cunard and Ford wrote the play and superintended it's produc- tion. As a play with a plot there is practically none and the work of the two stars is amateurish. As a military play 1t is worthy, for over half of the four reels show battles on the fields or around cities in India. One of the enjoyable fea- lures of this bill is the imitation Of the bag pipes by Frank Monroe on the pipe organ. "The Campbelis Are Coming" will be given again to- night.

HAS WON PLACE IN HISTORY
Work of German Engineer In Asia
Minor Deserving of the High
est Commentator.

Meissner, who Is but a few years
older than the kaiser. went out to
Turkey as young engineer shortly
before Wilhelm assembled the throne,
and has made one portion or another
OF the Ottoman empire his special
field OF endeavor ever since. AS Ger
many's Eastward Ho. policy was a
nebulous hope rather than a definite
plan up to the beginning of the pres
ent century, the nrsL decade or so OF
Meissner's work In Turkey was as
unselfish in character as were the la
bors of those distinguished Britons
who have built the railways Of Ar
gentina and Peru or reformed the GUS
toms Of China. During this period
the foundation of the present railway
system was laid I'm what was then
Turkey In Europe, and considerable
construction was also carried on In
Asia Minor. How much OF Meissner's
work OF the last fifteen years has
been in direct furtherance Of the
kaisers far-reaching eastern ambi-
lions it would be very difficult to say;
probably, indeed, he has little idea
himself. But however much ne has
been made pawn In the game of
Realpolitik, am confident that there
are very few who have followed his
work Of the last thirty years who will
not grant that the handspring of his
personal efforts was a deep and sin
cere affection for Turkey and the
Turkish people. The type is a COM
history, but Meissner is the only Ger
man | have ever met worthy OF In
clusion with the elect-The Atlantic.

the place, and. Notwithstanding there
were plenty Of empty tables. the wait
er took the man to her table and seat
ed him opposite her.
You may imagine my surprise" she
said to a friend later. "The tearoom
began to fill up. and among the lunch

Government Movies

The department of agriculture keeps
up a special motion picture factory at
which 1t makes the films IL uses in
promoting scientific farming. The de-
partment heads use the films to illus
trate lectures and the field force shows
them at country schoolhouses and
churches, where they have invariably
attracted large and interested audi
ences. Even before the factory was
set up various bureaus OF the depart
ment made use OF films in educating
the public. Thus. the bureau OF ami

show the southern farmers how to
make and use the dipping watts that
would free their herds OF ticks 1t also

FOR THE SMALLER CHILDREN
Either for PIaytime or the Formal
"Dress-Up" Occasions.

For playtime nothing can ever take
the place OF rompers. These can be
as attractive as one wishes them to
be. They should, however, be made Of
some color that does not show the
first streak Of soil nor the first wrin-
kle. Bingham is always good. A big
check is effective and does not show
soil easily. Use a dark, plain mate
rial for trimming bands, at belt, for a
collar, cuffs and at the knees.
For the very small boy, the one un-
der five or six years, wash suits are
always best. Those of pure white or
pink or blue are quite suitable for
afternoon wear, but they become
soiled so quickly that they are quite
inappropriate for morning wear. One
OF tan or stripe OF tan and white,
red and white, blue and white Or blue
and tan is a much wiser choice for
morning than the all-white sort. Ca
latea is a good material to choose
For afternoon, however, a suit Of
blue or pink poplin with collar, cuffs
and belt of white and tie OF black Is
very attractive, especially IL white
stockings and black patent leather
pumps be worn.
