To the Boys Of
Chickasha

message to our future citizens from their friends
The ROtarians of Chickasha.
We have heretofore said that you boys should all
go back to school and stated why.
Now few thoughts as to what will happen if you
don't
For the sake of few dollars of ready money
earned now in job which yo Twill take you will
be throwing away the big chances of developing your
self and climbing to the highest position you could
fill in the years to come
How do we know? From thousands of cases of
our disabled men in the army.
Their physical defects counted for very little along
side of their mental Abilities
For the man who had had high school course
many paths were open; for the poorly trained man
only few trails could be followed Ga competent
living.
America is the land of opportunity. Any boy with
an education climb to the place where his ambi
tion will lead him.
Education is the golden key that unlocks the door
Of opportunity. Go back to school, boy, and stay
there hard at dork until your education is complete

THE NEGLECTED CHURCH

IVIiE most neglected and misjudged channel for
usefulness in community is the church. Many
church has membership up in the hundreds but
there are less than OF men who have TO
stand back OF it in a financial way
We taught that religion is free. we are begged
to to church and Sunday School we are made
to feel that il only we lend presence that that is
all that shall be required OF us
Mankind cannot imagine what would become of
the country it not for the influence of religion
Whether that religion is Jew or Gentle, Catholic or
Protestant, the influence upon the lives OF the ad-
herents is the same. That influence is necessary to
home lie, it is necessary to holding courts together
it is'necessary for the establishment Of standards in
business and in social life and mankind cannot know
what they to religion and to its influence i'll the
community and in the world.
We like to have the fine churches to attend, we
take pride in seeing handsome church edifces in
the city. they are the first improvements we show
visitors they reflect the life of the community they
give character to city, they give value TO real
estate, they attract many people to become citizens
OF community and without them we could not
build city
Yet despite their great value only few men
trbute 10 them. Many a man has his children
brought up under the influence OF the Sunday School,
his family has the privilege of church attendance,
they have to preach for them, minister who is
paid good salary; when member OF the family
passes out they have minister at their command
for the funeral services but how few realize that
the earnings of else give these things to
his children and to his family.
We owe our civilization to the influence OF
religion but religion is meagerly supported and then
only after repeated solicitation and at the expense
OF many men and women who largely give their
time to the raising OF funds that should come
IL H..
as debt OF gratitude to the minister and to the
faithful and who stand ready at all
hours to work unselishy for the cause of the
church.

RISE TO TOP OF EFFICIENCY

A COMPANY was operating business and had
established branch house in smaller town.
A friend OF the manager had been made manager of
the branch house For two years this person man
aged the branch without any profits being realized
Finally change made and the branch made a
profit OF $4,000 year
The first sent out to manage the branch
cost his employer not only the salary he drew down
each month but he cost $4,000 in losses to the
business
Every man who works salary does not
cost the house merely his pay check but he costs
the house the difference between his earnings and
the earnings OF else that might be en-
poyed in his place. A careless bookkeeper costs
his house all the mistakes he makes. clerk costs
the house the deals he fails TO close the business
Of customers he drives away from the house
Any employe OF a company whose business it
is to meet the public has large trust, he occupies
a prominent place such a man may be turning in
100000 year and may feel that he is earning
his salary and but he is not doing so if
some other man had his place who could do more

GRAZING Is BEST MEANS or
MAINTAINING SOL. FERTILITY y

There Is no system Of agriculture
that maintains the productivity of TN,
soil better than grazing, according to
observations of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, especially
where the animals are keep continu.
ally on the. pastures. Some of tn,
best pastures in southwestern Virgin.
ia have been gra2ed for least 100
years. Many of them have never
been plowed.
The difficulty in getting a good sou
on land that has been cropped with
grain for few years has proved the
wisdom of keeping the land perman-
entity in grass. II must be borne
in mind that there are striking diff
ferences in methods of grazing. Where
beef cattle or sheep are grazed, ali
of the resulting manure is left. on
the pastures, and the land is further
enriched if the animals are given
additional feed during the winter.
This is usually not the case on dairy
farms, where the cattle spend much
of the time in yards or stables.
Grazing is not sufficiently remun'
erative TO justify the liberal use Of
commercial fertilizers. and very little
is ever used in the blue grass region
on the pasture lands. In England
ii is not uncommon to apply basic
Stag at the rate of 1000 pounds per
acre to permanent grassland. Some
farmers in the bluegrass region OF
Virginia are beginning TO use lime ana
some form OF phosphate On their pas
lures. This improves the stand OF
grass, but there are no data available
to show whether the increase will
cover the expense. In the absence
any experimental data, every farm
er is advised to experiment on his
own fields in a small way. An appli
cation Of 500 pounds of acid phosphate
or Of bone meal to half acre in ali
old pasture will soon show whether {;
Is advisable to use fertilizers. If this
quantity makes a marked improve
ment in the stand Of grass, less might
be beneficial.

ONE EAR CORN
PRODUCES 1882
Joe Kelly, Bluffton Township Farm
er, Planted One Ear Corn and
Harvested 1892 Fine Ears.
SEED s v EAR
FILLED PINT JAR
Calico Variety and Five Ears Weigh
ed Over Eight Pounds. Best
Crop in Years.

Joe Kelly, of route s, Bluffton
township, brought in five ears of
corn to this office last Friday, which
certainly illustrates that he grew
some great corn this year The corn
is of the Calico variety, and immense
large ears. The five samples weighed
over eight pounds.
Two years ago Mr.. Kelly picked a
big ear of corn from his field, which
had some 1900 kernels on it. This
ear he saved until this spring when
he planted it, with the result that
he got 1892 ears off the patch from
the seed of this one ear. The seed
off the ear filled pint jar.
One of the ears Mr.. Kelly brought
in Friday has 1900 kernels on it,,
and Others in the lot have HOO and
over.
This corn is about as good as one
would wish to grow, and Mr.. Kelly
has every reason to feel proud over
it, and when a farmer grows 1882
monster ears from the seed of one
ear, like Mr.. Kelly has accomplished,
he has a right to feel that he is
farming right, and has his head in
the game, and is classed with those
fellows who have made two blades
of grass grow where one grew be-
fore.

Anton Bernatz Post second an

ing to be great day.
One of the big features will be a
fine new Ford automobile, which
will be given away free. This is an
opportunity that everybody should
take advantage of. A Ford costing
several hundred dollars is worth
considerable to any person, but get

better still. Don't miss the Ford
opportunity.
A grand daylight parade will be
held, with bands and floats, soldiers
and sailors in uniform.
A big base ball game will be on
the program between lansing and
Decorah All Stars, which promises
to be one of the hottest games play
ed in this section this season.
Dan Steck, state commander of
the American Legion will deliver an
address, and their will be many other
big attractions also, such as truck,
mo otorcycle, Ford and running races.
At night a big dance will be held
with music by Gabeps orchestra.
Soldiers and sailors in uniform
will be admitted free to the grounds,
no matter whether they are men,
ber of the Legion or not.
Admission to the grounds will be
