Long Memorial Building.
(Farmington News.l

Mayor O. A. Tetley and Alderman
P. G.. Hunt returned home last Friday
night from Hamilton, Canada, where
they had been in conference with
Mrs. Jennie Bisby in reference to the
new community building which she
expects to erect in Pennington as a
memorial to her distinguished brother,
the late W. D. Long, mention of
which was made in last weeks News.
Mayor Tetley and Mr.. Hunt both
say they had a delightful trip and Wis.
it with Mrs. Bisby and her nephews,
Dubart Wilson and Will Hunt. They
say Hamilton is certainly beautiful
city, clean as new pin, showing that
her citizens possess marked degree
of civic pride.
Mayor Tetley said he found Mrs.
Bisby to be lovely old lady and in
tensely interested in Pennington, her
old home, and our people here. She
was enthusiastic about the new build
ing she is to erect here and seemed
anxious to confer with him in regard
to having the building meet the needs
Of the people of the community to
the fullest possible degree regardless
of cost. Mayor Tetley says he as
sured her that the people of this
community deeply appreciated the
generous gift she is making them,
and this he was fully warranted in
doing, for the community could not
hope to secure Y. M. o. A. property
and this building will largely, if not
in every way, fill this important need
here.
| The plans are now being changed,
at Mrs. Bisby's request, to meet more
nearly the needs of the community as
suggested by Mayor Tetley and Mr.
Hunt. AS room as they are finally
approved by her, the contract will be
let and the erection of the building
pushed to an early completion.
An option has been secured on two
or three centrally located sites one
of which will be selected in a few
days.

Fertilizer For Wheat May Pay.

Prospects for satisfactory wheat
price for the next two or three years
are good. This means that fertilizers
applied to the wheat crops should pay
good profits. The results from the
Missouri soil experiment fields repre-
senting many of the important soil
types of Missouri show an average
increase of around five bushels of
wheat from the application of
phosphate fertilizers such as bone
meal or acid phosphate, reports M.
F. Miller of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. An ap-
plication of 200 pounds of acid phos-
phate at fall prices of fertilizers will
cost about $500 an acre and If the
1921 wheat price is equal to the pres
ent price of around $3.50 a. bushel,
the value of the return over fertilizer
cost would be close to 5000 an acre.
Similar return can be expected from
steamed bonemeal, altho this material
is being scarce and high in price so
that the net return may probably be
estimated at slightly less than that OF
acid phosphate under present con.
ditions. On poor lands the. highly
phosphate mixed fertilizers contain
ing around two per cent ammonia,
ten or twelve per cent available phos-
phoric acid and two per cent potash,
may be expected to bring similar re.
turns. Such figures are encouraging
to the men who are in the habit OF
using fertilizers for the wheat crop.
the high cost of wheat production
due to increased land value and to the
high cost Of labor, makes 1t more i'm

One Killed; Two Injured By Lightning.

During the thunder shower last
Saturday at noon, lightning killed
Orville Tucker, aged II, and badly
burned his sister Serina, aged B, and
Mrs. Glen Teel of St. Louis, who was
visiting at the Tucker home. Two
other girls, aged 13 and Is, OF the
Tucker family were stunned. The
five were on the porch when the
lightning struck.
The boy was instantly killed, and
Mrs. Teel was badly burned. All OF
her underwear was burned from her
body while the outer garments were
practically unchanged. Part OF her
body was burned black. Serina, the
little girl, was burned black on the
left side and her left leg was also
burned.
Another daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Tucker, who is home from st. Louis
was in the house preparing dinner
but she was unscratched. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tucker were not home at the
time.

is known as the old Keay place about

Here's A Foolish Man.

Once upon time there was man
who said it was too cold to go out in
to the woods to chop large logs for
the fire. So he conceived the idea of
chopping up the furniture for that
purpose. In a short time he had dis
posed thus of the chairs and tables
and, then, being cold once more, he
took out the window frames and burn
ed them, and after the window frames,
the doors.
These being burned, he was colder
than ever, of course. Thereupon he
started to tear down the house and
burn it piece by piece until, at the
end, he had neither house nor heat.
The folly of this man is not unlike
that of the person who, for frivolous
reason, sells his Liberty Bonds which,
by painstaking thrift and sacrifice, he
acquired during the war to be his
protection for the rainy day.
He is disposing OF sheltering ROOT
and knocking out the door that might
serve later to help keep out the wolf.
A Liberty Bond is capital. Nc
prudent man or firm ever dissipates
capital, for it is the foundation on
which business is based. A firm
that begins dipping into capital fol-
running expenses is ready for bank
ruptcy and ruin.
Don't spend your Liberty Bonds
To do so is like burning down the
house to keep warm.

The Soldiers Wit.


(St, LOUIS POSt-DlSpdtcn.1
A PRIVATE soldier named Richard
Lee was taken before Magistrate for
playing cards during service. When
the psrson read the prayer those who
had Bibles took them out, but this sol.
dier had neither Bible nor common
prayer book, but pulling out a pack
of cards, he spread them before him.
He looked at one card and then at
another. The Sergeant of the com
pany saw him and said:
"Richard, put up the cards; this is
no place for them"
"Never mind that" said Richard.
When the service was over the consta-
BILE took Richard before the Mayor.
"Well," said the Mayor" "what have
yon bought this soldier here for?"
"For playing cards in church."
"Soldier, what have you got to say
for YOURSELF"

you more than ever man was pun

OLDFIELD WILL
 ENTER GAR IN BIC AUTO RAGE

Indianapolis, Ind, April 17-Bar- ney Oldfeld, the auto race driver, ''who never looked back" has entered car in the speed classic to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. May 31. The veteran of eighteen years in the racing game will elecc another pilot to handle his mount this year as in 1919 when he sent Roscoe Sarles to the wire with his entry. Who Oldf1eld's choice will pa this year is a matter of conjecture he has not yet announced and wheth- CT he has decided is not known.
 The car he has entered is an Old field SpeciaP' of 1S2 cubic inches pis- ton displacement manufactured by Harry Miller, of Los Angeles. That is all the information that was con- tained in the official entry blank turned in to the Speedway officials.
 In last years race OldfeId's car was eliminated early in the gams with a, broken cam shaft-but SarIes kept it well up in front as long as it is a fixture in the history books Of auto racing. He was the first man
 to drive an auto a mile in less than a minute on a circular track-that was
 here in Indianapolis in 1903 when he
 covered the distance in 59 seconds,
 for which he was paid $1OO, the sec
 ond year of his racing career-from
 that time on, until his retirement from actual competition, he was con-
 stantly in the limelight as a speed merchant.
 ''Old Master as he is commonly known, got his first taste for fast riding when he placed second in q bicycle race in 1894, when he was
 eighteen years old. In 1899 he gained his first experience as Q pilot of mo- tor cycle racing machines, at which he became a leading expert.
 It was in 1902 he joined Tom Cooper, former national bicycle cham pion, and Henry Ford, then an ob- scure engieer, becomig the driver of
 two racing cars designed by Ford and l financed by Cooper. It was on Sep-
 tember 21 that he drove and won his first race when steam, gasoline | and electric cars from all parts oc | the country gathered for the five mile event at Crosse Point track, Detroit He defeated a large field
 for a diamond trophy pacing a Ford i 999 the distance in 5.2O, the world a

Billy Kelly Winner Of Opening Race at
 Havre De Grace Track

Baltimore, Md, April 1.-The fa- nous racing coIors of Commander J K. l.. Ross of Canada, assisted ma terial1y toward the successful open. ing of the Havre de Grace course yesterday. They were carried to victory in the three features on the program.
 Despite stormy weather, disrupted rail service and the cancellation of advertised special trains to the course at the last moment HaNre de Grace opened in a blaze of glory. Patrons walked from the railroad station to the course in a downpour and wound up cheering wildly when Billy Kelly, Milkmaid and King Thrush all SCOT ed in the Ross coIors. The stable jockey Sande was astride each of them.
 Billy Ke1Iy's victory was as game as the majority of his former successes. He led his field throughout and held on gamely when Star Master chal- lenged in the final strides.
 Mnkmaid's victory was easily ac- comp1ished. She waited behind while her stable mate, Constancy, supplied the early pace; then moved stoutIy into the lead and off to an easy vic tory at the end.
