WHY NOT?

Many of those who heard the ad-
dress of Mr.. H. S. Mobley, dairy
specialist, at the court house We'd
nesday afternoon are doubtless sur
prised at the possibilities of the dairy
COW as a money maker on the farm.
And many, too, have no doubt ask
ed themselves, why can't the dairy
COW become as important factor in
farm finance is Curry County as she
is in so many other communities?"
There was a time when dairy pro-
ducts had practically no cash value
when Glossy" was never factor be-
yOnd the dinner table. But that time
has passed In every community, and
especially in Curry County, there is
a demand for milk and cream and
butter the year round, and at prices
that are very interesting to the farm
er.
No matter how dry the season is;
no matter how hard times are; no
matter how low the market for farm
products drop, the farmer can always
cash in on his dairy products. And
he can cash in in direct proportion
to the standard Of the cows in his
herd.
Why not give the COW a better
chance to help put the farm on a
firm financial basis?

THE CIVILIAN TRAINING CAMPS

THE CIVILIAN TRAINING CAMPS
President Harding urges every
young man, who can possibly do so,
to attend one of the civilian military
training camps this summer. Such a
camp will be conducted in each of
the nine army corps areas. Men who
can spare the time to take the train
ing will find it well worth while. A
course at one of the camps will make
them healthier and more alert physi-
cally and mentally. They will also
find the associations in the camps of
value to them. While making them
selves better men by taking the train
ing, they will be fitting themselves
for more efficient service for their
country in time of emergency.

LIMITATIONS DO NOT LINZ

LiMl "a lONO ~ NOl LIMIT.
We all have our limitations, but
few of us realize when we have reach
eG them.
The average American is a peculiar
individual. An obstacle may seem
mountain high to aim, but he has an
inherent objection to acknowledging
it is insurmountable The apparently
impossible only whets his determ-
nation to conquer.
Perhaps it is just as well that limi-
tations do not bother us. We are not
afflicted with the doubts and uncer-
tainties and vacillation that retard
the progress of some countries. We
accomplish our tasks while many peo-
pie are debating their possibility.
1t is an American trait, and good
one.
