BANKS CAN HELP AMERICA GROW

With sufficient financial backing the farmers can produce crops that will make the industry a profitable one, not only for the farmers themselves, but for the whole community If the banks are really interested in upbuild- ing their respective communities they producing thecrops it is best for them to grow for 1921.
 The fact that the banks can help the farmers is strikingly brought out by the Peoples National Bank of Chariot tesville, Va The far-sighted officials of that bank realized some time ago that the soil of the vicinity could pro duce apples of superior quality With this fact in mind they financially back ed the framers of their locality that they might improve the aple industry As q result of the financial aid, the farmers of Albemarle County have made it the apple center of the world Every year fity barrels of tn famous Albemarle Pipin aples are sent to Windsor Castle for their majesties the King and the Queen of England.
 Any bank can help it's particular section if 1t has the vision of d pros porous and progressive community When the farmers are given the proper financial backing, then the Southland will be the garden spot of the world The Progressive Farmer.

 The accused protested, said it was poor law under which he was fined and that he did not think 1t would hold water in court.
 The mayor declared any law found ed on the Bible was good enough for him. The defendant said he couldn't see where tail light had anything to to with the Bible. The mayor looked pitying,y at the accused, and said:

ARE YOU RIGHT EYED?

Sit down in chair and fix your at
Gention on some object on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front of the object
and Instantly shut your eyes. Then,
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at time.
If when you open your right eye you
find your finger directly in front OF
the object you are right-eyed. In that
case you will find your finger very
much to the. right of the object when
you open your left eye.
If you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are righ-
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slightly
more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side OF
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to car
ry out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those Of the other side.

the evident change in Sylvester, as
Indicated by his letters. When he
went away his epistles were full Of
sentiment, but as time wore on they
became more prosaic, and various
passages In some Of them had led
the girl to think perhaps he had
ceased to care for her. Indeed II his
written words were to be taken literal
ly. he already was confirmed bach
elor, with no ideas of becoming welded
except to his scientific researches.
Nevertheless, he still possessed
Mina's heart, and she was going to
be glad to see him.
Realizing that her status I'm his
regard probably was altered, Nina did
not meet the train on which he came.

he was leaving and swore he would
