Farmers and Food M arketS.

However much may be done by towns and cities
in the way of providing dependable cash markets
for Georga-raised food products as means of
encouraging Investigation on the farm, final re-
sponsibility in this important field of development
rests on the farmers themselves. Unless they pro-
duce what the market demands, whether it be
grain or vegetables or live stock, they and their
community will miss the richest opportunity and
benefit which the market makes possible. A strik-
ing instance in point appears in statement from
tWe WaYcross Packing Company, published in a
recent issue of the Ware County Progress:
almost year ago." the company de-
clares tho farmers of Ware county
urged to begin preparations for utilizing the
new cash market that would be open to them
through the building at w aycross of the Way
cross Packing plant. The appeal was not
given proper attention, that today more
than 90 per cent of the hogs being purchased
at this plant are shipped from eastern Ala
bama and southwest Georgia. In the first
eight weeks of it's operation the, Waycross
Packing plant has paid out in cash for hogs
and cattle $4,000. Only small portion of
this sum Ras gone to Ware county farmers
What effect would $4,000 have had
on the finances of Ware county farmers during
the past sixty days? Ware county farmers
could have secured the whole of it if they had
prepared for it year ago."
Undoubtedly, of course the presence of the
Waycross packing plant will encourage the produc-
ton of hogs and cattle in Ware county just such
industries, wherever established, have upbuit the
interests of animal husbandry in the surrounding
country, and the continued success of the Waycross
plant is absolutely assured. But the longer the
farmers fail to take advantage of such opportunities
by raising an abundance of hogs and cattle, the
greater is their loss. With reliable, cash market
easily available, there is excuse whatever for
farmers not raising food crops and food animals;
nor is it to be imagined that farmers with any
degree of alertness and foresight will fail to do So

Tndeniably it is a great handicap man to

it is not an insurmountable handicap And IN mod

The public library is of these facilities
With the librarians aid, any man. II only ne

indicate for him books enlarge mis- knowledge or

his leisure.
So, too the really educated man, unexpectedly
confronted by a business problem which requires
knowledge he does not possess, will lind the puohc
library an invaluable help
Everybody one would suppose, would be aware
of this But not everybody is really aware of it.
And of those who aware, many forget how
serviceable the public library be to them.
Often we hear a man exclaim, IF only knew
what to read about So-and-So" Well, he can
easily learn what to read. All he needs to- do is to
visit his public library and make inquiry.
If as may happen, his inquiry relates to matters
involving book knowledge not possessed by the IL
brarian himself the latter is likely to know of
some specialist to whom he can refer the inquirer
for guidance in his reading. In one way or an
other he will be helped to learn what he desires to
learn.
Remember this, if you are a non-user of your
public library. You are missing golden opportuni-
ties to increase your chances of success.

UNIQUE PIANO RECITAL
AT SAINT CLARA COLLEGE

A unique piano recital of original
compositions was given on the even
ing of April ~ by Miss Margery Lacy,
BIN. II. The varied character of the
interesting program gave proof Of in
spirational genius wisely directed, skill
in technical composition and poetic
sense. The Piano Sonata and Ballade,
numbers of extraordinary difficulty,
though modern in the harmonic
scheme, never fail in fluent melody.
The audience probably took the great
est delight in the three suites, ex-
quisite tone-pictures illustrating realis-
tically the subjects "1n the Grove"
"Children's Songs" and "a Child's
Day."
In the "Children's Songs" Miss
Lacy was beautifully assisted by Miss
Cunnis, soprano, and in the suite. "A
Child's Day." by the Saint Clara string
quartette.
The college students are giving evil
dence of enthusiastic interest in the
course in the First Aid to the In
jured," conducted under the auspices
of the physical training department.

lost pocketbook, and the author has
evolved many funny situations to fill
the twenty minutes of the melodious
tabloid. Betty Evans and Hudson
Freeborn are in the cast, and will
assist the pretty chorus in making
lively entertainment.
For hilarious comedy, no one can get
much the better of Will Morris, who
uses bicycle to assist him in bring
ing the spontaneous laughter to an
audience. Mr.. Morris has reputation
second to none in his line of work, and
his presence will add full measure to
an already big bill of fun.
Kane and Herman, appearing as
two young clubmen, after the usual
night at the club, appearing apparently
in the small hours of the morning,
furnish more laughs and some new
Jokes in an entirely new vein. They
will not fail to delight those who at

Stuart, an impersonator of rare talent,

oPTlcIAN JAMES e. LEES NEW
QUARTERS.

James E. Lee, so long established in
business as an optician at No. 52S Mic
ollet Avenue, that to read his name
makes the average Minneapolitan
think of his eyes, has been fortunate
enough to secure an arrangement OF
his shop which gives it the unique dis
tinction of being an Arcade from Mic
ollet Avenue to Sixth Street-one of
the busiest corners in all Minneapolis.
The Lrshaped space affords an en-
trance from Sixth Street, in addition
to the old one at 52S Nicollet; and the
increased accommodations provide for
several new lines of merchandise,
Chief among these are kodaks and
fountain pens and Photographic devel-
opment work. The enlarged facilities

FIRST ORDEAL IN PATRIOTISM.

The first ordeal of patriotism is q
response to the call to arms, Bishop
Shahan, rector of the Catholic Univer-
sity, told the lay students there, in an
address last week.
Patriotism, or readiness to defend
our native land and all it stands for"
the Bishop said, lis an immemorial
tenet of natural religion, and as such
purif1es the heart and enlightens the
spirit beyond any other natural senti-
ment."
Read and remember the now his
toric address of President Wilson, and
let It's text sink into your hearts, as
the voice Of our American public con-
science and the mirror Of our best
thought on the unparalleled conditions
of our national life in these days."
