80 County Superintendent who
have been heard from within the
past two months declare that the
moonlight school work has increased
their day school attendance from 20
&c so percent. besides teaching hun
dreds in their counties to read and

the work and thus discredit their
efforts.
10000 club women who have rails
ed $4,000, taught moonlight
schools and campaigned. do not want
the work discontinued and their eff
forts discredited.
5000 communities organized for
community improvement which at
tribute their improvement to the
moonlight schools want the work to
go on.
10000 who have learned to read
and write desire to continue their
work.
This is the first educational enter
prise in which Kentucky is the rec
cgnized leader. The United States
Bureau OF Education issued bulle-
tin in 1914 and sent it broadcast
throughout the country, making the
following statement
1T will be part OF the lasting
glory of the State of Kentucky that
it has taken the lead in this move
ment. II is the first State TO I'M
dertake TO offer to all the people of
whatever age an opportunity 10
learn to read and write and thus
break from the prison walls of sense
and silence within which the illi-
terate man and woman must live.
1t marks the beginning of a new
era in Kentucky and for all the
country for the idea will be taken
up by other States and the work will
go on until the curse and shame OF
illiteracy have been lifted from ev-
cry State in the Union"
Thirty-six States have followed
Kentucky's lead and are putting on
campaigns to eradicate illiteracy,
the State Legislature of New York
in the 1919 session voting 100000
to eradicate illiteracy. this amount
to be used in one years campaign.
Kentucky took the lead during
the war in the teaching of illiterate
soldiers.
The moonlight school literature
was used in all training camps.
$4,000 copies of the moonlight
school reader were sent by the gov
eminent for illiterate soldiers over
sas.
The Y. NJ. c. A.. when the soldiers
were being demobilized, instructed
their educational directors to have

one of the moonlight school readers
home with him.

A GOLDEN WEDDING

On Monday, March 22nd Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Smith celebrated their Golden Wedding in an afternoon "At Home," from two to six.
 Many of their town friends who came in to offer their hearty congrat- ulations were served with dainty re- treatments and asked to write their names in a register to be kept as a souvenir of the day.
 Only part of their children were able to be present, namely Mr. Guy Smith of Judsonia, Mir. and Mrs. Herbert Smith and Mrs. w. P. Flynn of Little Rock.
 This occasion was very happy and enjoyable to MT. and Mrs. Smith and their friends. Several who could not attend the At Home offered congrat- ulations over the telephone, others sent cards while about forty-five letters were received from distant friends.
 The bridge and groom were as tastefully and appropriately dressed as they were fifty years ago The "golden" bride looked very charming and almost girlish with pear bloss- oms in her hair and at her waist.
 This dear couple have been "scat tering smiles and sunshine" in Jud- sonia for thirty-five years, endearing themselves to all by lives of love and service.

WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY

My father says the paper that he reads ain't put up right, He finds lot of fault, he does, perusing it at night; He says there ain't single thing in it worth while to read And that it doesn't print the kind of stuff that people need. He losses it aside and says it's strictly lon the bum," But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come. He reads about the weddings and he shorts like all get out; He reads the social doings with the most derisive shout; He says they make the papers for the women folks alone. He'll read about the parties and he II fume and fret and groan, He says of information it don't con tain crumb--
 But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come. He's always first to grab it and he reads it plumb clear through; He doesn't miss an item or q want ad that is true;
 He says "they don't know what we want, them durn newspaper guys Pm going to take day some time and go and put them wise" Sometimes it seems as if they must be blind and deaf and dumb But you ought to hear him holler when the paper doesn't come.

While the minister was visiting one of his parishioners, a very deaf old lady, she expressed her regret at not being able to hear his ser mons. Desiring to be sympathetic and say something consoling, he re- plies "You don't miss much "so they tell me-" was the woman's dis concerting reply. But you win miss something if you fail to come to my store and see and hear some of the finest musical instruments made. I have full stock of pianos, player pianos, and Ediso1 Columbia and Brunswick machines, and good stock of records. If you cannot come, write for catalog and prices.

KIND OF FERTIL-
 HER TO USE

Tn most counties in Arkansas there are rich and poor second bottom and hill land, sandy lands with clay sub soils and with sandy or gravely subsoils, rich new bottom land and bottom land that has been cropped until the yield is low Each kind of soil needs different combination of plant food in commercial fertilizer. There is no one combination that has the qualities clamed by. some pat ent medicines that cure whatever ais you. Some soils are rich, others poor in nitrogen, few have enough phos- phorus and sandy soils are likely to be lacking in potash The kind of fertilizer to use is that which will supply what the soil lacks.
 Commercial fertilizers are used in Arkansas to furnish enc or more of three things: Nitrogen, available phosphoric acid and potash.
 Nitrogen is, that material in fer makes plants grow vigor- ously and produces. heavy growth of green stalk and leaves.
  Phosphcuic acid stimulates early growth, early maturity and the fruit ings of cotton. corn OF other crops.
 Potash makes strong stem, healthy foliage and is absolutely necessary in the forming of starch, sugar and other similar products ln plants, and in their storage in the grain, tubers, and roots and makes flavor in fruit. rowing what each of these three

 The miracle of 1920 willnot be in the fields of industry, science ,educa- tion, but it will be in the practical religion of the world. For-1he first time in history, Professionalism is pre- senting a solid, united front, through the medium of the Inter church World Movement, in which 70 per cent of the Protestant membership of the United States is affiliated, through the governing bodies of 30 distinct denominations.
 The stupendous financial and spir- itual program of this Movement. which is for cooperation and not or ganic union, will pc brought direct to the people of White county, in the county conferences to be held throughout the state during t'le two weeks from April 6 to April 1e. The counties have been formed into 35 groups, and the conference for this county will be. held in Searcy, April 8th, at Il a. m. at the Presbyterian Church.

LYCEUM COURSE
 JUST CLOSED.

On March 26, 1919 committee of ten citizens of the school district con tracted with the White-Myers Ly- ceum Agency, of Kansas City, for course of five entertainments to be given during the school year for the sum of three hundred and ten dol lars.
 This course was completed last Sat urday night with the lecture of Dr. Wm. Rader, and was a success in every particular, not only in the fact that the numbers were all entertain ing and uplifting ,but the course was a financial success as well-the first one ever made to pay out in Jadson- ia.
 The latter fact was made possible because of the efforts of the Senior Class of the High School, who hatis charge of the sale of season tickets, getting out the advertising matter and seeing that the auditorium was clean, lighted and heated. To them is largely due the success of the enter tainments, and they will receive the balance of $40.55 cleared above the expenses of the course.
 Following is a statement of the finances:
 Received from sale of
 season tickets ............. S239.O0
 Door receipts
 First entertainment .23.00
 Second Ent. .10.75
 Third Ent. .............................-33 -33.50
 Fourth Ent.... .................45 .45.75

 Amount of contract ............ .S310.0O
 Local expenses ........... ...........3.45
 Totl expenses .$313.45 7
 Balance turned over to
 Senior Class .......................S .S40.55
 The committee wishes to thank the class of 1920 for their efforts in making this course such complete success, and it is their hope that their success in life may be even greater than that gained in promoting this lecture course.
 A committee of sixteen represen- tative citizens of the town have all ready signed contract for similar course for next year, full announce ment of which will be made later.

 We find the average farmer ap. plies about 200 pounds to the acre. This is a minimum. A second appli- cation at fruiting season generally proves very profitable.
 The most convenient way to apply commercial fertilizer is with a com bination drill or planter that plants the seed and fertilizer all at the same , time, thoroughly mixing the fcrtili ger with the soil.
 Cotton on fertilized land is ready to i cultivate from one to two weeks ear Her, making it easier to keep out the grass. It is ready to pick from two to three weeks earlier and a large proportion of the whole crop may be gathered at the first picking.
 Thorough preparation of the soil, high yielding seed that will produce a fibre not less than 1 1-16. inches and good cultivation, each increases theprofits from the use of fertilizer The shiftless farmer who prepares his land poorly uses low yielding seed and lets the grass get ahead of him seldom gets much profit from com mercial fertilizer and frequently no, any.
 A good farmer on upland soil car use a ton of commercial fertilizer or five to ten acres and get a gain iron the ton of at least one bale of cot ton and 1000 pounds of seed and tn. fertilizer will increase the length O. the staple at least one-sixteenth O. an inch.
