utica Farmer Wins Prize
For Most Cream Shipped

Vhc prize offered by the A. ]. Lewis
rniture Co. to the farmer selling the
st cream from Sept. 1 to Sept. u
won by Mr.. w. w. Rose of At
a. The second prize, offered by the
rmers Cooperative Store, was won
Mr.. W. F. Riggs.
Mr.. Rose sold SIG pounds of cream
d tIr. Riggs sold 7S.5 pounds. The
erage price Of cream during Septem-
Il was 2S cents. Si.6 pounds of
'eam at 2S cents is worth SPECS. Mr..
ose states that he MIXED five common
ows. These cows are not especially
ell cared for. He has a family Of five
fhich used all the milk and butter
ecessary for their table. The $23.6S
the same as clear money because
he cows were MIXED before and after
he work in the fields.
The S236s worth of cream is not
Ill that Mr.. Rose realized from his
milk cows. The skim milk was fed
20 chickens and hogs and any one will
concede that there is no better feed
for growing chickens or hogs than
skim milk.
Mr.. Riggs seld $2l.9s worth of cream
in the 2afFs contest. Mr.. F. I.
Byrd wasVthird in the contest with
COS pounds Of cream, valued at $19.54
These men could easily bring their
cream values up to 81 per day. The
farmer who is not selling cream would
do well to talk this cream selling prop
osition over with these men and start
selling their surplus products.

Randolph County Fair
Biggest In Our History

Last Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day were big days in Pocahontas.
Randolph county held her first real
county Fair on those days and the
Fair was a real success. There were
many creditable exhibits in the way
of horses, cattle, hogs, poultry, corn,
cotton and other agricultural products,
horticultural and textile and in the
department of home economics for
school girls. Saturday was the really
big day for that was school day. BY
actual count eleven hundred, thirty
two children marched in the parade in
separate sections.
From a financial point of view the
Fair was not failure as is usually
the case with the first ventures, be-
cause the members of the association
and the ChamberSof Commerce render
ed all services free of charge and the
gate receipts and other volunteer do

to pay the prizes, the rent on the
grounds, lumber and other necessary
expenses.
The Association selected men and
women out side of the county as judges
on all exhibits and contests. Mr.. ]. f.
Nickel, district agricultural agent and
c. c. Randall of Lawrence county were
the judges ON stock and agricultural
products. Miss Alice Bridges, dis
trict home demonstration agent, and
Miss Alice Deden of Lawrence county
were the judges in the other depart
ments.
Mr.. McKell and Mr.. Randall both
= stated that Randolph's corn exhibit
would easily have taken first prize al

McKell paid special attention to oul

The judges gave II. n. Stull of thli
county credit with having the fines

There were number of specia
features in connection with the Fai
deserving special mention, but lack o
space fOrbids going into detail.
In one of the booths was an old
time cotton counterpane the materia
in which was picked by hand, earde'
aud spun on an old-time spinning whee
and woven in a homemade loom b.

erty of Mrs Flora Black and is 10
years old. Another interesting featur

Lose To Walnut Ridge

The Pocahontas high school football
team lost their first game of the sea-
son to Walnut Ridge last Friday on
the Walnut Ridge grid iron. Walnut
Ridge scored eight touchdowns while
our boys were unable to carry the ball
over for a single marker.
Poca's line was far outweighed and
the Walnut Ridge backs plunged
through it repeatedly for long gains.
The defensive work of Gray at center
and Traw at smashing quarter, and
the offensive work of Throgmorton at
half were the only features of Poca's
playing.

BOOST OUTPUT
OF NASH PLANT
Motor Company Spending
Million and a Half for
Plant Equipment.
TO MEET DEMANDS

Factory extensions and additional
plant equipment will increase the pro-
duction capacity of the Nash Motors
company by 40 per cent by the open
ing of the spring season over the
greatest production ever previously at
tanned This will mean an increase
from 275 to 400 cars a day, including
the Milwaukee and Kenosha plants.
Demand for the Nash line of Ad-
vanced and Special Six series cars
kept the plants in Kenosha and Mil
waukee busy literally night and day
throughout August, October and No
vember and has made necessary the
expansions covering 254,236 square
feet of floor space and the installa-
ton of over $1,500,000 worth of addi-
tional plant equipment.
at always has been our policy to
expand our business on sound bas-
is" says c. w. Nash, president of the
Nash Motors company, "but the mod
els brought out by us. last August
were so we'll received by the public
that we were unprepared to meet the
full demand. The thing to do then was
to increase our production capacity by
building extensions and through the
installation of additional machinery
equipment. This will make it possible
for us to have in the hands of our
dealers, in the early spring, cars in
quantities that will more nearly meet
the demand.
Keep Product in Own Walls.
The expansion of plants and equip
ment is in line with the Nash Mo-
tors policy to absolutely govern the
quality by building its product al
most wholly within the walls of its
own plants. and provision is made fol
the heavy increase in production in
this manner instead of going outside
the factory to accomplish the in.
crease.
Orders for the new equipment were
placed some weeks ago and work Of
installation will begin as soon as the
building have been completed. Active
work on the new buildings also is un-
der way, the extensions affecting both
the Kenosha and Milwaukee plants
