HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN
 WOODLANDS PROFITABLE

Washington, D. C., April 16.-A bulletin containing numerous illustra- )ons has been prepared by forestry becialists of the U. s. Department of Agriculture for the benefit of south km farmers interested in making their Foodlawns more profitable. It con- (ains suggestions regarding the mar Reting of many kinds of log, and calls Fttention to the importance of wise Eutting. The need of protecting seed |ngs in woodlands is emphasized and Fhe wasteful stripping of land, such as has laid bare so many slopes, is con- bemned. Photographs show the evil Rssults that follow shortsighted prac- |ices.

SPEAKS FOR FARM LOAN ACT
Former Secretary of the Treasurv Says Future of Agriculture De- pends on Keeping Country
 Raised Boy on Farm.

'The American farmer is not a nan. per seeking aims. Neither is he a ward of the government to be treated as an irresponsible child"
 Such is the statement of w. G. Me. Adoo, former secretary of the treas. ury.
 MT. McAdoo contended that the farmer only asks to be permitted to take his place among the business men of the nation, where he belongs. He said that the farm loan act merely enables the farmer to borrow as a right-not as a favor-adequate funds at reasonable rates. Mir. McAdoo said in part:

Why Farmers Need Money.

up to the time of the passage of the farm loan act, the system of farm cred It's In operation in this country was ex- ceedingly cumbersome. It was so cum- bersome that 1t could not furnish the kind of service the farmer required, at any price. That is, 1t could not furnish loans on the long term amortization plan. Also the entire field of farm credits was without anything more than the most primitive (and therefore futile) regulation as to rates of inter-

 Wants Ills Right, Not a Favor.

After an exhaustive study of the needs of the country and after an- other exhaustive study of the credit system of European countries, con- gress decided to adequately finance agriculture as great underlying in- dustry essential to the life of the nation. Congress did not contem- plate any petty remedies. It did not contemplate charity for the small farmers. It did not contemplate a spe- cial privilege for the big farmers. But congress did contemplate establishing practical system of rural credits by which the farmer would be enabled to secure as right-not as a favor-ade- quate funds at reasonable rates. And congress did this, assuming that the general welfare demanded that we look to the future and make provision for continued food supply for the nation.

 The Fleet has just returned to this country and was given a big recep- ton in New York City.
 These boats would sometimes be out for as long as twenty-five days in the storms and seas for which the North Sea is noted. The work was declared impossible by other navies, but the United States went ahead and com pleted this work before the scheduled time.

DRILLING IN PROGRESS AGAIN

After delay of several weeks work
has again been commenced on Walsh
well No. six miles north Of CoIIyer.
Work was discontinued on account of
disagreement among the owners
This difference has been overcome
through sale of the interests of c.
r. Pollen and others to H. R. Foraker
and associates
A gang of men arrived at Collyer
last week and commenced work on in
closing the boiler and lower part of
the derrick and equipping it for win
ter work They have completed their
job and have started drilling again.
A new contract has been made with
the local men who are pushing the
prospecting and who are furnishing
the necessary local money. By the
terms of this contract it is hoped the
drill will be kept going until oil is
found until it $ proven there is
nothing in the present hole The COM
pany doing the drilling cannot get the
local money unless the drill is kept
going. 1t will then be paid in INSTALL
| ments. The chances now seem to be
good that Walsh well No. 1 will be
completed and an honest try for oil
| made.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING SURE
Bond Election Went Over Tuesday ,
With Very Little Opposition
to the Bonds

That the people of school district
No. L want a new school building and
that they are willing to pay 100000
for it if necessary was manifested by
the result of the bond election which
tosk place Tuesday. Out of the 26O
votes which were cast only twenty
six of them were against the bonding
proposition
It has been manifest for several
years that WaKeeney district needed
a new school building but owing to
the high cost of material and the
scarcity of laborers the matter of
submitting the question to the voters
has been delayed. 1t now appears
that by next spring building material
will be cheaper and laborers will be
more plentiful and it looked like. a
good time to submit the proposition
and the petitions for calling the cleo
on were circulated and signers were
easily secured. The members of the
school board have made a thorough
investigation and have made choice
of the building which appears to be
the best suited for this community.
Picture of the building was published
in the issue of TheWorld for last
week. 1t is the intention of the board
to place the new building on the site
OF the present building and there ap-
pears no reason for changing the To-
cation. The new building will be a
credit to any city, will be a safe place
for the children to assemble and will
! furnish them with the necessary
| modern conveniences which they can
not have in the present building.

John Timothy Rhoades was born in
Cayuga county, New York, May %,
1872, and died at his home near Wa
Keeney, Kansas, December 9, 1920,
aged 4S years, six months and ten
days He came to Trego county with
his parents in the spring of 1886, and
located on farm few miles north
east of WaKeeney and grew to man
hood in this vicinity. On the oath
day of June 1908, he was united in
marriage with Miss Roxie McAtee of
this cityand they have since made
their home on a farm one and one
half miles northeast of this ely. Ten
children were born to them, nine of
whom are living and with their
mother survive their father. He is
also survived by his mother, four
brothers and three sisters. He pro-
fessed religion and joined the Baptist
church in early life and for eighteen
years served the WaKeeney church
Sabbath school as superintendent.
His life was consistent and conscienti-
Gus; his services were of much value
to his church. Mr.. Rhoades was E.
farmer all of his life and for the last
several years has served as treasurer
of WaKeeney township. He was
strong and robust in physique but dur
ing the last two years his health had
been very poor and his strength grad
ally yielded to the effect of
disease
The funeral services were conducted
last Friday from the Baptist church
and the body was buried in WaKeeney
cemetery. Beautiful floral offerings
showed the esteem in which he was
held and served as tokens of sympathy
from many friends to the bereaved
loved ones.

than it has been at any time for the
last several years. For several years
the debt against the association had
been about six thousand dollars. The
board of directors decided last spring
that they find out if the people of the
county were willing to lift that debt
and put the fair on a better basis.
They started out to secure pledges
for that amount and in a short time
the whole six thousand dollars was
taken care of These pledges were
not all payable at the same time but
to the present So, 900 have been Sc
cured on them. Some of the pledges
have been paid in advance but there is
now due in unpaid pledges S685.5O
but a great deal of it will be paid as
soon as the signers can sell some OF
their wheat or get the money other
wise. There is now an indebtedness
against the association of 81 400 but
against the Indebtedness there are un-
paid pledges to the amount of s2,4OO.
leaving the association practically out
of debt with a balance of 81 200 on
hand for the fair for 1921, provided
the pledges are all paid and judg-
ing from the disposition the people
are showing those pledges will be
paid as they become due.
