TAKE0FF ON MARINES PEEVESPLUNKETT

From battery commander down

all blasted the admiral from stem
to stern. We raked him and his
crew with all the cuss words we
had known before enlistment, with
others We had learned in a year
and a half of service, and with
still others which dubbed up out
of sheer inspiration.
'How the admiral must have
changed since those days, to- let q

humor?" this old officer inquiries.
Just because q play intimates
that our marines drink and have
their little affairs, he fears this
will stop enlistments. When he
was supervising marine construc-
ton in dear old Quincy, Mass. he
knew better than that.
"And does he remember the trim
of the special squadron to France

Just what these old-timers "a.

moral crusade against "What Price

against which the admiral has

BIG JOINT REVIVAL.
ENDED SUNDAY NIGHT
Total of $50 Accessions in Va
rious Churches Represent
Success Attained

The Simultaneous Evangelistic
campaign undertaken by Americas
pastors two weeks ago, ended Sun
day night, with overlooking con-
gregations attending services in the
various churches. The last services
were conducted by the pastors
themselves, each preaching in his
own pulpit, and with the visiting re-
vivalists all having returned to then
several homes. A total of $50 per.
sons united with the churches en-
gagged in the campaign during the
progress of the revival.
Rev. Luther Harrel speaking for
thee Pastors association, stated to-
day that of the aceessions register
ed during the revival 80 persons
were upon profession of faith; 1G
upon statements and AZ upo ncer-
tificates. These figures indicate
that the revival has been a success
from every angle, and the congre-
cations attending both weekday
morning and evening services and
Sunday gatherings were among the
the largest ever registered here. No
statement of accessions scored by
different congregations was author
lied by the participating ministers.

nevada FARMERS NOW
MARKET HAY BY POUND
Dairy Cows Installed to Utilize
Feed Crops Pay Handsome
Dividends

WHITE PINE, New, May 5.-In-
stead of hauling their hay 35 miles
to the nearest market as they did
for number Of years. farmers of
White Pine County, are now keep
ing the hay at home, feeding it to
dairy cows, making their cream into
butter in a cooperative creamery,
and selling their butter to the towns
that formerly bought their hay.
For some years alfalfa hay, the
main crop in two communities, had
been selling for less than the cost
OF production. To remedy this con-
dltlon, progressive farmers and the
county extension agent made
careful study of the possibilities Of
developing other sources of farm
income. They found that the min
ing towns which bought their hay
were also importing all butter used
from distant dairy centers, paying
high transportation rates. As many
farmers had few cows, it was de-
cided to try marketing the hay in
the form of butter. A creamery
was organized, the dairy specialist
of the State agricultural college
trained butter makers, and churning
was begun in May, 1923, averaging
at first about 100 pounds a week.
Herds have increased in production
as skill in feeding developed. and
the market has extended as the ex-
cellent quality of the butter became
known. By the end of the year,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the butter sales averaged more than
$1,000 a month and demand still
greatly exceeded the supply.
