world, covering four sides of a block. The curtains of this win dows are lowered from Saturday night until Monday morning, tho we have been urged by many peo- pie to allow this display to go for ward on the Sabbath Day.
 "These decisions were made and have been carried out by the found CTS and owners of this institution because they have always tried to govern their actions by their inter- pretation of the effect upon the public morale. As their example is followed by many merchants, they nave striven to mold their policies along the highest ethical lines.
 Marshall Field & Company feel that the fact that they do not com mercialize Sunday makes for bet Ger citizenship"
 If the policy adopted by this firm of not only refusing to advertise in the Sunday papers, but of even lowering the curtains of their great show windows from Saturday night until Monday morning, in order that they might not be an adver- tisement of the firm, was generally carried into effect, what marvellous change would take place throughout this country!
 The Sunday newspaper is an over grown production of late years. We believe that in it's present size Ii is a distinct disadvantage to the best interests of the newspapers o1 the country. If modern condition: demand that the world shall on Sun day have some of the news of the preceding twenty-four hours, a con densed presentation through Sun day morning paper would certain

ly be less objectionable than the stuff which is now furnished in Sun day papers, with their 30 and 40 and 50 and 50 pages of matter. It is very largely to the Sunday paper that the shortage of news paper is due, and we believe that the pub fishers of the great daily papers of the big cities of the country would be serving their own best interests and the country at large if they would reduce by one-half or two thirds the size of their Sunday pa pers. And so far as advertising is concerned, we believe that the state ment of Marshall Field & Company as to their views in regard to the matter will awaken a widespread interest among many other business linen.

BREAKING FOLLY'S HEART

The New York athlete who won a
 wager in walking up the stairs of a building AT stores in height in a trifle less than nine minutes and
 declared that he was not bit tired, though his collar was wilted, his body was bathed in presperation and his face was highly colored, may have felt that way, but 1t may as- serted with assurance of truth that his heart did not act that way. He won his wager and bonus Tn ad- dition, but the stunt may cause him
 to lose years of life. The heart is
 useful organ and it often seems to be immune from the effects of abuse, yet it will stand only so
 much before it stops. If one pre- | fers to make the heart perform Tn l few minutes the work that should 1 be distributed over long period of time, he has no reason to complain ,if it balks at an age when man should be in his vigor. An athlete
 above all persons should appreciate l the danger of over-exertion. Fine
 physical development should insure long life, yet those who boast most their ability in athletic exercises often die at an early age because they do not temper their exhibitions of physical endurance with judg-
 ment. Racing upstairs for wager would seem to be about the most unde-
 sirable form of sport because of
 the terrific strain it puts on the (heart. Exercise is beneficial if talk en in the proper way and the right
 amount, but stair racing certainly should not be included.-Pittsbure l Gazette Times.

A FARM ECONOMIC SURVEY

A party of half dozen men from the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. C.. will be in Marianna during the week beginning June IA to make an inquiry into the receipts and expenses of about 75 farms covering the business year, 1919. The area covered will be the region lying northwest and south. west of Marianna and may extend as for as Marvell in Phillips county.
 A similar survey was made by A. D. McNair of Little Rock, represent ing the U. S. Department of Agri- culture covering the business year 1916. The object of the survey is to find out the cost of producing cotton in 1919 and to figure what is called the labor income of each farm.

THIRD SHIPMENT OF HOGS

The returns for the third CO., operative shipment of hogs sent out from Lee county were received by the Bank of Commerce the latter part of last week and Mir. Clark has mailed the deposit slips to the diff ferent parties who had hogs in the car. While the hog market is very much off those who shipped hogs were well pleased with the returns as shown by the following letter from Dr. c. W. Chaffin of Moro, who had 23 head of shoats in the shipment:

corn from the general run of feed corn.
 Last fall 15 acres were planted to Alabama Blue tSem wheat. The land was broke early to a depth of six or seven inches and 33 tons of ground limestone applied. The lime was ordered from tS. Joe, Arkan- sas, by County Agent Whitaker, and cost $3.10 per ton delivered. This spring one bushel of lespedeza was sowed to the acre, and if the crop comes through in good shape, the plan is to keep this field perma- nently in lespedeza.
 Bermuda Furnishes the Pasturage
 The fifty head of grade Herefords get the greater portion of their feed during the open season from a 130-acre wood pasture, which IS wellse t in Bermuda grass, inter spersed here and there with patches of white clover. A crek winds through the pasture and for a num- Der of years after heavy rain, It overflowed it's banks and covered considerable of the pasture. To pre- vent these overflows which made the pasture too wet for grazing dur ing much of the year, MT. Markham took two mules and scraper and made a broad shallow ditch, 12 feet across and about 12 feet deep. The ditch runs the entire length of the pasture and diagonally across the creek. It serves as an outlet TOT the surplus water that accumulates after every heavy rain and has very effectively solved the problem.
 Mr. Markham has played a prom inent part in helping along the cause of better farming in Lee county. His farm is one of the best in the county and has been used by the county agent as an example of what may be accomplished by good meth ods. is an enthusiastic support of county agent work and IS all ways among the first to lend his support to any movement that means better agriculture for Lee county.

Other mem bers of the party will be Messrs. o. A. Juve, M. A. Crosby, c. L. Good rich, L. A. Renoldson, M. R. Cooper and F. D. Stevens.

Marshall Field Co. On ObSerUnnce Of
 The Sabbath Day
Manufacturers Record)

Marshall Field & Company of Chicago are probably the greatest merchants in America. Their oper- ations are of vast extent, and for over half century that concern has ranked as one of the great business leaders of America. By reason of this fact it is especially interesting to note the position which the company takes in regard to the observance of the Sabbath, believing that in this way they are contributing to the welfare of the world.
 Their view on this point was ex- pressed in a letter under date of December 1, 1919, to the editor of the Daily News of Elgin, Ill. A copy of this letter has come into our possession, and as an interesting presentation of their view of the non-c n-commercialization of Sunday we give it in full, as follows:
 Answering your inquiry of the 24th ultimo, we will say that during fifty-odd years of business, Mar shall Field & Company never have advertised in Sunday newspapers. They have followed the rule that six days for labor and the seventh for rest was best for employer and employe.
 I've regard Sunday avertising as an unnecessary infraction of this very wholesome, many-century-old religious dictum, and are glad to follow it.

County Agent Whitaker expects to ship, several cars of cattle from the county within the next sixty days. He already has about two cars listed to ship as soon as they take on a little more flesh. Any one having cattle that they would like to put in one of these cars, should communicate with E. E. Whitaker, w. B. Mann, Chas. Mc- Kee, or J. B. Markham.

o. G. CatrUn, of Middlesboro, is
in town to unload a couple of car
loads of Buick autos and to get lin
ed up for the summer business. He
expects to be in Barbourville quite
often dnrlng the summer months in
the interests of his business. Mr..
Catron says the Dixie Highway will
mean one of the greatest things pos
sible to the Mountain people not
only on account of the money it will
bring in, but also for the influence
it will have on the rest of the roads
OF this section. He has enrolled as
a member of our Business Mems
organization, now in process Of form
alton. Mr. Catron says such an or
ganization is the only salvation of
Il town from a business standpoint
While competition is the life of
business, organization sustains it.
He says the people should patron
ize the home merchants in every re-
spect. They pay their taxes Tor the
welfare of the people, schools and
home comforts. The big mail or
der people are swapping the cOun-
try thru the negligence of the bust
ness people to advertise and use
their home paper so that the people
may know they can buy just as
cheap an article from their local mer
chants and get better quality than
they can from the mail order house
SO why should not the merchants
boost the home paper? 1t is their
best medium for publicity. He is
glad to see that u number of our
merchants are alive to this fact.
