Where You Can Make Your Dollar
Count and Work for You
While You Sleep

The Golden State Lead
& Zinc Co., was formed by
a number of Oklahoma City
business men to develop this
wonderful Miami property.
They invested heavily them
selves; but the extent of
Miami's wealth, the richness
of its ore beds are such as
call for operations on a large
scale. There is no limit to
the capital that can be
profitably employed in the
Miami district. There is
room for you, and many
others.

KENT FARMERS PLAN FOR
BIG CORN AND POTATO CROP
WILL HELP UNCLE SAM BY
PLANTING AS WELL AS BONDS
Besides Corn and Potatoes Big Crops
of Beans, Onions, Tomatoes and
Garden Vegetables Will be Raised

Kent County is destined to Ego
over the top" in the production Of
corn and potatoes this year as we'll as
in Liberty Loan subscriptions. In all
parts of the county it is indicated that
larger acreage of corn and potatoes,
especially the grain, will be planted
this season than ever before in the
history of Kent County. While the
special prizes for corn to be awarded
by the State Board of Agriculture this
year have been an incentive for corn
growers, yet it is the knowledge that
by raising the golden grain they will
add greatly to the nations food supply
that has caused the farmers of central
Delaware to enter enthusiastically
into the movement to raise bumper
corn crop in 1918. Kent County
Agent Zimmerley has been kept busy
testing seed corn for various growers.
owing to the fact that the weather
last fall was injurious to the grain,
and much of it was rendered useless
for seed purposes. Corn that is ap-
parently in first class condition, to
outward appearance, when tested has
been found to be almost worthless for
seed purposes, as it lacked the germ
inatiOn qualities necessary to make q
productive crop. Hundreds of Kent
county fields that have formerly beer
kept as pasture lands, will this year
produce crops of the yellow grain.
Many farmers will also plant an unus'
ually large acreage in beans this year
for the Government demand for bean!
of all kinds, for army rations, is con
stantly growing, and big crop will
/ be needed this year to supply the de
mand. The onion crop will also b,
increased, as will also peas and toma
toes for canning purposes. Practical.
all war gardens will also include man.
tomato vines this year, and thousand
= of jars Of home packed tomates will
] be stored away in the pantry for mex
] winters use. Realizing that the foo
3 situation next winter may be serious
: all thrifty housewives in this count
e have joined in the movement to ca
8 and preserve all vegetables and fruit
a that can be put up for winter use.

PRAISE FOR MARK mcMANus

His Courtesy to -Four Minute Men" and
Other Government Men Appreciated
In praising the work of those who
ire voluntarily giving their services
to aid the Government in winning the
war, none are more deserving than
Mark McManus, local manager of our
moving picture thester. "Mack, "
las he is familiarly cslled), through
the promptings of a genuine patriotic
spirit, and an earnest desire tn do his
bit, permitted -Four Minute Man"
to appear at each performance at the
Opera House, since the -Four Minute
Men" were organized last August, to
present to the public such Information
as the Government desired the people
to have on the various subjects bear
ing on the war in which our country is
enlisted. Nothing has contributed
more to enlighten our people concern
ing the war than has the work of the
-Four Minute Men, and it is solely
through the courtesy of Mr.. McManus
that the good work in this community
has been carried forward. Therefore
our hats are off in salute to our noble
and genial "Mack. " - J. E. Hof
