viabla World War record, returned
from a tour OF active duty with
the field service school at Carlisle
Barracks recently.
Two prominent infantrymen.
Colonel Hanfor6 MacNider, assist
ant secretary Of war, and Major
General Robert Allen, chief Of in.
fantry, believe that one OF the
best ways to foster esprit de

snappy songs and marches. They
recently sent congratulations TO
Colonel James B. Gowen, command
ing the 18th infantry, for the two
regimental songs, 1.-THE 18th" and
I'VE Lead the Way"
The Comptroller General has
ruled that Federal employees can
not extend the military leave
granted them to take field train
ing in the National Guard when
they become Ill while on active

Major A. r. Harris, U. s. A., who

covered from an injury received in

SUGAR INDUSTRY
PLANNED IN NEB.
BY United Press Leased Wire

LINCOLN, Neb. Feb. 9.-Nebras-
ka, long called the Cornhusker state
may instead be known as the Sugar
state if current plans for extending
the sugar industry are carried TO
realization.
Beet sugar growing in the west
ern section of the state has already
developed into a gigantic industry
and brought wealth to the irrigat-
ed plains. The irrigation farmers
have become the envy of their fell
lowmen of the eastern sections who
raise corn in the fertile valleys.
Much discussion is being given
proposals to establish corn sugar
factories in the eastern section of
Nebraska where most of the state IS
corn is grown.
At the same time, Senator X. B.
Howell, republican, Nebraska, has
brought to the attention of congress
the possibilities of manufacturilg q
sugar from artichokes, now regard
ed as an ordinary weed. Artichokes
will thrive almost anywhere. Sena-
tor Howell visions filling in the
unused areas of Nebraska with ar
tlchokes for sugar manufacture.

SERMON HAILED.
AS MASTERPIECE.
BY United Press Leased Wire

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. Odd
school theologians are paying hom-
age here to the newest ecclesiasti-
cal prodigy-12 year old Dolores
Dudley.
Little Dolores. who learned the
gospel on her mothers knee, was
invited to occupy the pulpit of the
Four Square Gospel mission at
Cleveland during the holidays.
The child 5 sermons, all extempor.
aneous and some times of more than
an hour 5 duration, are being hail
ed as veritable masterpieces, with
seemingly divine inspiration.
This little girl who astounds her
audiences and holds them spellbound
with her eloquence and power,
heard her first simple excerpts
from the scriptures when she was
an infant.
Her mother, Mrs. Leroy Dudley
who began reading the Bible to Do
lores and her two brothers when
the children were tiny, said Dolores
was the only one who displayed a
keen aptitude and understanding.
But she has never been a syste-
matte student of the scriptures, -
Mrs. Dudley told the United Press.
She hears and reads many philo-
sophical quotations and parallels,
and then puts on her thinking
cap'.'
The "thinking cap has anaiyz-
ed and placed remarkable construc-
tions upon some passages of the
scriptures, so startlingly discernible,
in fact, that the demand for the
child preacher S services is becom-
ing widespread.
Last summer Dolores accompanied
her grandparents, with whom she is
now living, to Los Angeles where
she studied for three weeks at the
Angelus Temple Bible school, an in
stitution founded by Mrs. Aimee
Semple Mcpherson. noted healer.
1T was there that the little girl
received her only technical training
for the ministry. On Thanksgiving
Dav, she preached i'll Cuvahoga
Nalls where the congregation gave
her 800, the nucleus of fund to
educate her for the ministry.

Citations, having a total membership

growers. handle approximately 10
per cent of the American cotton
crop.
The organization and operation
of this group of generally similar
associations is one of the most in
teresting of contemporary achieve
ments in the history of the coopera
tive marketing movement in Ame
rican agriculture, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The first important effort to or
ganizc cotton growers for coopera-
tive marketing occurred in the per-
iod of depression and reconstruc-
tion following the Civil War. Com
parable conditions following the
World War influenced the move
mcnt which resulted in the organi-
zation since 1920 of the present
large scale associations that cover
the Cotton Belt.
These associations are organized
on the nonstock, nonprofit plan.
Pooling is practiced, each grower
receiving his prorata share of the
average price received for all cot
ton of the same grade and staple
as his own, less the cost of mar
keting. BY operating annual pools
and distributing sales throughout
the year, they plan to receive ap-
proXimately the seasons average
price.
