increase egg productions to a very
marked extent. There is always q
market for poultry and the farm
poultry flock is part of our farm
opportunities which we haze been
sadly neglecting and which will
handsomely repay proper atten-
ton.
Modification of Program.
We shall. of course expect each
individual farmer to make some
modification in the foregoing pro-
gram, as the needs Of his farm re-
quire, but as ~ general rule, we be-
lieve that I; farm planted and oper-
ated as above outlined will prove
profitable under boil weevil condi-
tions, and that the general adop-
ton of this plan, throughout the
county, will result in this county
being more prosperous, three or
four years hence, than was ever
the case under mainly cotton
farming practice.
The Organization.
Committees are being organized
in every school district to give in
formation as to kinds of seed and
methods of cultivation and prepa-
ration of the crops for market.
These committees will be kept
posted by the central committee
and will be prepared to give you
timely information as needed.
Possible Results.
If this program could be carried
out on every farm OF the county it
would make an aggregate farm
production for the county Of
over $4,000. 900 and. in addition.
would save the county over ST.
100000 Of its annual fertilizer bill.
This would be double the normal
time yield Of the county before the
boil weevil arrived. If we only
half realize it. we shall even then
produce more than the county has
been producing.
If, on the other hand. we fail
to follow some such course. and al
low the agriculture of the county
to go to pieces. as so many boil
weevil infected sections have done.
we may expect our farm production
to be cut to one-third Of its pre-
boll-weevil averege. and that re-
suit spells bankruptcy for us ALL

Migration of
MennOnites
100000 Plan to Move From
Canada to Mexico


the largest migrations of Christian
people of modern history is that OF
about 100000 Mennonites, $4,000
families, from Canada to Mexico,
which will begin ir December.
Their trek is expected to last two
years.
The Mennonites for the past year
have been looking for a new home,
claiming unjust treatment in Can
ada during the world war. Eight
nations have invited them. Land
"sharps," boomers and others
have tried to influence them.
After a dozen trips to Mexico,
during which representatives con-
ferred with President Alvaro OBJ
RECON and officials of the Mexican
immigration service. the leaders al
most decided to settle in Mexico.
Then editorials from var 10 u S
sources, save Mexican, declared the
Mennonites were making a mis-
take" that religious freedom which
they have sought could not be
guaranteed them under the Mexi-
can constitution. Another trip was
made to Mexico and state and nat
ional governments assured the Men
nonites that they could worship
God as they pleased, that they
could hold all the tenets of their
religion and could enter that coun-
try and make their permanent
home.
Canadian Mennonites hold the
same belief as early members of
the sect who settled in the United
States-that of non-resistance. The
Mennonites, in defending their be-
lief. declared that they suffered less
in the early days at the hands Of
the Indians than did others who
waged warfare against the savaGes.
The Mennonites still refuse to
enter any war.
Another peculiar custom of these
people is the washing of feet. They
say that the example Of Christ to
his disciples in washing their feet
stands on same spiritual level as His
acts of distributing food and drink
to the hungry and thirsty. To the
Mennonites the story related by st.
Luke is comparable to the ones 9TH
er Christians regard, including the
Sacrament and communion.
Community property is another
belief of some Mennonites, al
though it is not general. The mem
bers of the sect cooperate in build
ing roads. school houses and
churches.
The removal of the Mennonites
to America came about when Will
liam Penn had been granted land
for his Quaker followers. He was
told of Mennonites who had fled
from Germany to Holland and his
Quakers came to their aid. The
Quakers are credited with helping
them financially and in colonizing
parts of Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Ne
braska and South Dakota. Later,
colonies were established in Sas-
katchewan and other parts of Can
ada. During the past year few
of the sect nave settled in Florida.
For years there were IA inde-
pendent bodies of Mennonites, but
years ago the sect was reunited.
The Mennonites will settle in
Chihuahua and Durango, principal
ly in the former state. Options have
been taken on land in both states
and improvements are being made
on one large tract. the Bustillos
hacienda, or ranch, near BustilloS
and Chihuahua City. The co1onists
have paid $4,000 pesos to hold this
tract, the money being on deposit to
the credit of the Zuloaga family,
heirs fo the large land owner, Car
los Zuloaga. The purchase price is
100000 pesos.

INTERESTING PICTURE
OF NORTHWEST SCENES
IN GREAT "SNOW BLIND"

A vibrant s .ory of life and love
in the northwest wilderness of the
Canadian Rockies is told In Snow
blind" { Reginald Barker produc.
ton for Goldwyn, which will be
shown at the Lyric theater for two
days, beginning today.
The author is Katherine Newlir
Burt, who also wrote "The Brand.
Ing Iron" Russell Simpson heads
the distinguished cast which in.
cludes Mary Alden, Cullen Lands
and Pauline StarKe.
The story deals with the love OF
Sylvia pauline Starke) for a fugi-
tive from the law, Hugh Garth
(Russell Simpson), who brought
her to his cabin when he found
her wandering about, temporarily
blinded by the snow. Gradually
her affection is transferred to Pete
(Cullen Landis), Hugh's younger
brother. The struggle in the girls
heart between her wandering af-
lection and the jealousy of Hugh
pitted against the magnanimity of
his younger brother, develop into
a series of powerful dramatic sit
uations that are admirably carried
out by the four sterling actors who
tell the story.
Reginald Barker has again pro-
duced another of those massive
photoplays which have won him an
international reputation.

to explode under the chair of my

miss Maym Kelso plays the aunt

If the scene was to be convincing,
it wasn't possible to ease her down

after time, for many rehearsals and

hurl his whole weight in dead

there's a knack about relaxing so
that the impact doesn't all come at
any one place, and Mr.. Kingley
probably knows that from his
athletics. But he hasn't been doing
any house-wrecking lately. SO by
