From an educational and cultur.
ed standpoint Greater Iaka must
have more school room. Our schol
building is crowded. Our school
grounds are crowded. Our month
lust closed shows an average daily
attendance of 265. (Some days
more some days less.) With this
many pupils in school and only sew
en- teachers to teach them in II
different grades, is one of our great
est problems. We should have the
present building as grammar
school while we shonld select an
other site for tho H. s. Building.
Let this be on a lot Of not less than
four acres. (arger would be better)
and then build and equip a build.
ing special y for high school stu
dents. Until we do this we can
never do the work as satisfactorily
as it should be done. If we would
do this we could easily build up a
school here of 500 or more pupils,
for the people of the adjacent terri
tory are now looking to this school
to supply the demand for High
School work.
So much for our immediate town.
Next, as the county site we should
put forward every effort to have
built through the town at least one
more great highway. As the Nation
al Highway project, "(Lee High
way') from Chattanooga to Mem
phis has been routed through Iuka
it is up to US as enterprising .citi-
zens to see that it be built through
here. These suggestions are not sup
posed to be developed in one year
but we throw out simply as sug-
gestions something tangible, some
thing to talk over, discuss, plan and
evolve IN some different shape.
When Iuka has these improvements
together with her God-given re-
sources Mineral Springs-then it
will become known far and wide as
the best residential town in North
Mississippi, and being so near to
Muscle Shoals, no doubt many
people working there and Sheffield
will locate here, on account of wa
ter, parks, churches and schools.
While these improvements seem
ingly.would cost much, yet when
we consider the new citizenship ac-
quired by reason of these things, for
we would not be long in increasing
our population, for people hunting
for new locations want to settle in a
live town, one that shows it is not
asleep, but thai it is growing and
pushing. The homes they would
build, their business, would increase
the assessed values as to more than
cover the additional expense. We
can do much to bring these things
about if we will only bestir our
selves, believing THAT WE WILL
WIN-making Iuka Greater Iuka.

1t did not take Garrick long to
find an excuse for one of his hasty

by instinct, he put his finger on the
spot. 1t was slip of paper tucked
in what passed for a log book He

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER III.
THE MYSTERY GRAFT.

1hE m . IER1 CkAFl.
Dick rejoined Garrick late in the
afternoon in his rooms at the Mono
wantuc Country club. Garrick had
been developing the roll of films.
What do you see there?" he
asked Dick, holding up the strip.
Dick turned toward the light and
looked carefully. "a boat. Looks
like one of those scout cruisers built
for the government during the war"
Its autographs, you see. The
name, The Bacchante' is written
under it, and the date.
"Oh yes. But by whom? Whose
writing is that?"
'Never mind that now. What is
that shore line? Do you recognize
it? Take my glass"
Dick studied it intently and mi
nutely for some minutes. 81 think
:. it looks like Greenport Har.
bor."
THAT was what l thought. /
wanted your opinion. Now look at
the next one."
"Why-that's Brock - at the
wheelw '..t
Here's another, of party
Glenn, Ruth, Vira-"
"And that other girl is Rae Larue.
That fellow in back is Jack Curtis. >
Garrick slowed the girls hat and
the films away in a chest.
We'll, what's next?" asked Dick.
81 suppose they'll all be at the club
tonight at that subscription dance"
Garricx nodded silence. He was
calling Greenport, where he had a
friend, boat builder.
Seems that she's a mystery ship
>-on mystery cruises" he frowned
as he turned to Dick from the tele-
phone. "They know her out there,
all right. But no one out there
seems to know who owns her. She
slips out on these mysterious cruises,
khen back just as unexpectedly
len away again. From the descrip-
ton I'd say that Brock often handles
her as captairfss. There's nearly al
ways. some of that crowd of young
folks. on her, too; sometimes a party.
My friend says he will telephone if
the 'Bacchante comes in. She went
out yesterday"
1t was after dinner and little alb
sent-minded knocking about of the
billiard balls alone, that Garrick was
recalled to the matter in hand by
the penetrating tuning up of the
orchestra in the ball room.
H esauntered out on the wide club
porch that faced the harbor and
looked out straight ahead through
the wide opening of the two head
lands into the Sound. 1t was a
beautiful starry night, with no moon.
Far out in the Sound could be seen
one of the big New England steam
ers, a majestic mass of lights. Here
and there, knots of young people had
begun to gather.
He was endeavoring to select a
quiet corner where he could watch
when three girls, arm in arm, in
light shimmery summer frocks saun-
tered across the lawn and up the
steps.
"Oh, Guy" He turned. 1t was

Dance palaces have given a new
twist to crime, making it easy for
crooks to gain acquaintanceship
with girls from fashionable homes.
RADIO, too, is an aid to criminals.
This is the theory on which Guy
Garrick and Dick Defoe, young
wireless inventor, are working In
solving the mystery of a 500, 900
holdup at radio dance. They fear
the rich and beautiful Ruth Walden
has innocently been shared by
brooks. Their search leads them to
the Sea Vamp," houseboat of the
suspected fast set, which they find
is equipped with complete wireless
installation. There they find a roll
OF undeveloped films and a bag
used by the robbers.

EXELAND MAN WILL
RAISE ALFALFA

w. M. Beebe, who lives on his 60
acre farm, three miles northwest OF
Exeland, is doing some clearing on
his land this fall. He has some men
cutting out polewoOd and brushing.
The cutting is all done close to the
ground so that it can be worked over.
He now has about 20 acres brushed
and logged and has burned out most
of the dead stumps The other stumps
were all cut low so he mows his hay
with a team and mower.
He got good hay crop this year
and has his barns all full. His yield
was about two tons per acre.
Four years ago he sowed some al
falfa with his grass seed and it has
been getting thicker every year since
sowing. He is getting an acre of land
ready for an alfalfa field.

ROADS NEED WORK
SAID AUGUST HELD

August Held, north of town farm
er, said last week that the town of
Hubbard had employed a patrolman
on its roads. The roads have all been
good in that town this year, with Mr.
Krissin in charge of them.
Mr.. Held said that he didn't think
that town would do without patrol
man again, as all roads need work
during the summer season and depre-
ciate rapidly when not taken care of.
EVERY town in the county can well
afford to have good patrolman,"
Mr.. Held said.

HAY WOULD SOON
PAY CLEARING LOAN

j. e. Teele and son, Ralph, each
have a farm near Exeland. They
clear land together and recently
cleaned up a ten-acre field. J. e. has
% to 30 acres and Ralph has Is acres
stumped and under the pillow. On
both farms there is quite lot Of land
brushed and seeded.
Living expenses and dynamite are
the problems with the new settlers,
they said, and they would willingly
borrow money to push their clearing
faster, as they know it would pay.
Cleared land here yields good return
while wild land won't pay the taxes
and each years delay is expensive.

SEY CLUB.

The News-Budget is willing to print
in the Peoples Forum" articles sent
to it by people who write on any sub
ject of general interest, reserving the
privilege of rejecting articles that are
not of interest to the public or are
in any way unworthy of publication.
We cannot in fairness be held re-
sponsible for impressions these ar
ticles may make.
The News-Budget has no issue with
the Canton Guernsey Breeders Club,
and in our article of October ID, we
paid them a high compliment in stat
ing that ''the herd shown from Bar
ron county was good enough to show
at the National dairy show, and our
farmers should not be asked to COM
pete with them" We stated, further,
that sit is because our local breeders
failed to exhibit that herds from 9th
er counties were allowed to enter -
and that Barron county is the lead
ing dairy county of Upper Wisconsin"
We aim to be perfectly fair on all
issues.

THE FARMER WINS THE ELEC
TTON

Perhaps the most significant phase
of the recent election is summed up
in public statement issued by Mr..
Gray Silver, Washington representa-
tive of The American Farm Bureau
Federation, as follows:
1.-THE entire membership Of the
senate and house agricultural
b1ocs was returned to congress
by safe majority. We consider
this a full vindicatiOn of The
American Farm Bureaus legis-
lative program, as well as that of
the blocs, and proof that the leg
islation was in line with public
sentiment"
Mr.. Silver's analysis is obvious, but
it tells only part Of the lesson.
The result evidently heralds an
awakening Of the public mind to the
fact that the real party in which
Americans are interested as unit
is the American party whose back
bone and sole platform is the prosper
ity of the man who tills the soil and
keeps the world alive.
Twenty years ago no one could con-
ceive a Democratic farmer rejoicing
at the election of Republican to Con-
gress, but likewise twenty years ago
we could not conceive Illinois listen
ing to the opera in New York as per
radio today.
The world moves Blind partison-
ship is giving way to common sense,
and we are coming to see that such
matters as the national budget and
the tariff are not properly placed in
the sphere of politics. The farm is
in this category of national factors
that must be safeguarded and devel-
oped regardless Of party if the nation
is to progress, and fortunately the
farmer has sensed this fact for him
self.
The legislative success of the farm
er may be traced more than anything
else to the fact that it has been based
on justice, and is for the common
good.

Kreycha said that he had a far bet
ter yield than the average in his com
munity. He has sold 125 bushels at
$1.00 per cwt for seed, and will sell
the balance that way. He said that
he didn't believe in potatoes as crop
for a new farmer here, but preferred
to raise clover and milk good cows.
He has nine good milk cows and six
heifers. He is breeding up with
Guernsey blood and has good pure
bred bull that came from Sheboygan

to assist farmer members to loans on

like that, it's a safe bet that he is
a pretty decent kind of neighbor
himself.

CANTON CLUB OBJECTS

Calls News-Budget To Task For Let
tiers Published Relating To C0rm-
ty Fair Cattle Exhibit
Farm Editor News-Budget:

Farm Editor News-Budget:
Our attention has been called to an
article in one of the issues of your
paper in regard to the showing of a
herd, at the Rusk county fair, by the
Canton Guernsey Club.
We believe that the editor of the
News-Budget would not Intentionally
publish an article in which the Can
ton Club is unfairly treated and
which wholly misrepresented their mo-
tives in showing their herd at the
Rusk county fair. Therefore, in the
kindly spirit of fair play, we ask you
to correct the wrong impression of
your paper by publishing the follow
ing facts in the case:
The Canton Guernsey Club had not
the slightest intention of showing
their herd at Ladysmith until they re-
ceived an invitation to do SO from
officials Of the fair management, as
well as from prominent business
man of your city. To make the invi-
tatiOn more attractive, some special
inducement was offered in regard to
the expense of showing the herd. 1t
was also pointed out to the club that
by showing their herd they would be
advancing the cause of dairying in
the state by bringing to the progress
i've dairymen of the county an incen-
tive to improve their herds and raise
the standard of dairying in Rusk
county which is comparatively new
in the dairy world. We believe that
the gentlemen who gave the invita-
tons acted in good faith and had
nothing but the interests of Rusk
county in mind when they invited our
club to bring our herd to the fair.
Solely because of the above men
toned facts and after much delibera-
ton, because of the expense and work
involved, the club decided to accept
the invitations and show their herd
at the Rusk county fair.
The Canton. Guernsey Club seeks
no honors or credit that do not right
fully belong to it, but it does expect
fair treatment at the hands of news
paper editors.
