market for many things they are not
now growing.

Here in Dawson, their former

Colo, will be interested to know that
their fifteen-year-old daughter, Fran
ces Craven Parks, is a promising star

cent issue of the Camera, a paper
published at Los Angeles, Cal, in the
interest of film directors and actors,
printed Miss Parks picture with the
following comment:
Miss Parks, to whom we had rea-
son to refer last week, has been Sc
lected to head the list of those who
are coming up We leave it to some
directors and the genial public to de-
eide just how soon Frances does it,

thing worth while before many more
moons. Just now she is making up
at Griffith's. You saw her in several

HAS GIVEN NUCLEUS
FOR A SCHOLARSHIP
CITIZEN OF ANOTHER COUNTY
MAKES DONATIONS TO DAW-
SON CHAPTER U.D.c

A gentleman who is not resident
OF this county has placed in the hands
OF member of the Mary Brantley
Chapter, U. D. c., small sum of
money which will be used as a nu-
cleus for permanent gift scholar
ship fund to help worthy Terrell
county girls and boys to secure an ed
ucation.
The chapter has already accom-
pHshed excellent work in this line and
results have been so satisfactory
those at the head of the movement
are encouraged to put forth greater
effort, fully assured that no more pa
triotic call presents itself right now
than this investment in the develop
ment of human life along lines that
make for the best citizenship.
The colleges are cooperating we'll
with the local workers, and there is
no trouble to secure scholarships.
There are boys and girls eager for
this help, and the urgent need is suf-
ticlent funds for carrying on the
work so splendidly begun.
A donation has been added to the
original sum and the chapter appeals
to others to give of their substance
that a sufficient amount may be avail
able for immediate needs. The edu-
cation of the young life is of such
vital Importance we neglect it to our
peril: There are bright, eager young
people waiting for you to lend help
ing hand. If you wish to show a
truly patriotic spirit act promptly.
The time is short for getting these
applicants ready for the fall opening
of the schools.

Now, don't those figures look better in their 1918 dress suitsP Those other low figures were almost enough to give one chill. Now, when our nation is dealing in billions, who wants to think of 50-cent corn? The American farmer Is done with small figures and no one Is more entitled to more favorable roturn for his labor than he.
 Buying Power Doubled
 Let us make another comparison. When corn was 50 cents, 1t took about 240 bushels to pay for good spreader at S120.00. Suppose such Spreader Is now about worn out and new one Is needed. Two hundred and forty bushels at $1.54, the present. price, would bring about, $370. O. enough to buy two modern light-running, wide spread spreaders with still some Thrift Stamp" money left.
 Now, why is it some people insist on saying spreaders are high in price2 Bringing figures up to date certainly opens one's eyes

HIGH COST OF FARMING
 WITHOUT A SPREADER
Bringing Figures Up to Date

A recent issue of farm paper con- tained an article entitled Barnyard Manure and How to Spread 1t Advan- tageously." All the facts set forth were good, but many of the arguments were based on corn at 50 cents, oats at B cents, and wheat at 85 cents per bushel.
 On the same page with this very able article, but having no connection with it, was a little squib which read like this, "The chips of the old block are often so lazy that they lie where they fall" Perhaps that explains why many of US do not take the trouble to bring experiments up to date. If proper use of manure brought so many more bushels of 50-cent corn, what is the reason 1t would not bring like results with e1.54 corn2 Consider the following results taken from some of the best bulletins.
