SIMPLE WAY 10 ELIMINATE
SHORT CIRCUIT OF BATTERY

There Is frequently danger OF short
circuits In the battery because Of
the fact that one OF the terminals IS
located near the metal handle used
for lifting the battery To obviate
this danger Il IS only necessary to
slipp a short length Of rubber tubing
over the wire az the point where the
contact might be made. To do this
the tubing should be slit lengthwise,
slipped over the wire and tapped firm
y IN place. II is a good plan TO
follow this practice wherever there
is danger OF the wires rubbing off
their Insulation and so establishing
a short circuit

Do you know that the state owns I2,535 acres of the richest river bottom land in the south, on which are located the Tucker and Cummins convict farms? 10 you know that the Mississippi State Con viet farms turn S1,000,000 annually into the State Treasury of that State :?

RICE EXPORTS INCREASING
 RAPIDLY

The United States exported more than 300,000 pounds of rice to Japan during the first three months of this year, according to figures of the Bu- reau of Markets. United States De- partment of Agriculture. In con- trast, less than a thousand pounds of this commodity were exported to Ja- pan during the entire year of 1919.
 The average rice exports of the United States to all countries during the period 1910-1914 were less than 20,000,000 pounds year. Today, the exports range from 30,0O0,000 to CO., 0O0,000 pounds a month.
 This enormous export business has been made possible by the develop ment of the rice industry in Califor- mia based upon experiments made by Department of Agriculture scientists in growing rice in communities where it was said to be impossible to grow this commodity. The first conner cial field of rice in California was planted in the Sacramento Valley in 1912. There are now dozen rice mills in operation in the Golden State, which handled 21,0OO,00O worth of nee last year.
 There is almost unlimited opportu- nity for future development of this industry in the United States, says rice growers are most enthusiastic over the outlook, and declare that they are going ito teach the Ameri- can people that rice is one of the fin est foods in the world"

CHURCH ADVERTISING

Church advertising. originally drowned upon, has made such strides during the last few years that it is now generally in use in virtually ev- cry city and county.
 Its results. both in increased attend ance and increased financial support have more than compensated the churches for its expense, and entirely dissipated the prejudice that formerly existed against it.
 The question, in all of it's phases, was discussed at the recent meeting of Associated Ad Clubs at Indianapolis Among the speakers was Frank D. Wells, advertising manager of the Bal timore News and pioneer in the work of convincing clergymen of the great value and availability of news paper space in building up their churches.
 Cost, as Mr. Wells pointed out, is usually the second line of objection to newspaper advertising, and it is over come when it is found that the money frittered away for substitutes for ad- vertising is sufficient to buy advertis- ing space which can draw the type of people who will add to the church's revenue when the contribution plate is passed around"
 With the advertisements appearing in the church section of the News, a regular Saturday feature, as a stand ard, and the results which may be showns from advertising by other churches, the minister is encouraged to tell his congregation just what he is up against, and the amount of mon ey he needs for the purpose of enlarg- ing the congregation at the various Sunday services by newspaper adver- Using The money may be forthcom- ing as a result of this appeal, either from a number of members of the con- gregation or from one or two individ- uals, who subscribe for few adver- tisements or a couple of dollars a week apiece for continuous moderate effort. In some churches group of members defray all advertising ex- penses, in which as a general thing they take considerable pride; and this fact pointed out to other churches which have not developed to that point frequently is a potent argument with them and with their more prominent members. ."-Arkansas Democrat.

The cooperative movement is sweeping the country Hundreds of cooperative farmers organizations have been formed and are doing busi- ness. Dairymen, fruit growers, poul- trymen, rice growers, livestock men and others have organized co-opera- tive buying and marketing associa- tions and are doing millions of dollars worth of business. These associations are helping to solve the ever present vexing marketing problem of the small farmer. The farmers are usually de- prived of the full market value of their products because of doing busi- ness on a small scale with middlemen.
