ENTIRE CORN CROP GONE

Some people think that We raise
corn to feed more hoss to make more
bacon etc.. but local banker says
that it takes the entire corn crop of

ment may seem 1t Is not far off.
Marshall county raised about g.
100000 bushels Of corn this year
worth 50 cents per bushel or $1,000
geo. Divided by 5000 automobiles
registered in this county gives $500
worth Of corn to the car.
From the humble jitney to the
lordiy limousine there is an ayera,re

pair parts, insurance. interest on in

years on the best. until $500 per yea,
per car for everything about an auto
mobile that costs money does no,
seem too, large for an estimate.
No longer do we buy more land ia
raise more corn to feed more hogs
ETC.. but rather do we raise the corn
TO Feed MORE automobiles. to burn

He made desperate effort TO

Billy dashed up, only to be con-

"Beaten!" he gasped. gazing wrath
fully after the disappearing automo-

Billy sadly and slowly began to
patrol the fence, searching for some
place that would offer easy entrance.
Two or three times he was half way
under, squirming his way in like
common dog. but a crowd OF boys
found him and. taking advantage OF
his helpless position. threw sticks
and stones, and forced him to with
draw.
Coming to high blun that over

"Oh. If only were there! It must be

He though a long time, but one

Dick coming along beside his mother.
"Ah. there Is my playfellow!" and

AT tho present period. when an

were buying indisoriminately and

limiting purchases to actual necessi-
ties. While inability to absorb goods
in the previous unprecedented VOL

the price question is also highly in
