Repair shop on Mill Street was pur-
chased last week by Robert Pryor,

bespeak for him liberal patronage
from those who know of his ability.
Mr.. Burris will now devote all of his
time to the refinishingS of cars and
furniture, using a workroom at the
rear of the shop for this work. This
is work in which Mr.. Burris has been

WARE CHRISTMAS CARDS

The most recent of all the
mail-order merchandising stunts
to reach this vicinity is that
executed by the Casino Studio
of Salem, Mass. The shipment
consists Of a packet Of Christ
mas cards, eleven in number
each of the quality usually sold
for five or eight cents by Christ
mas card dealers. For this lit
tie package the recipient is to
remit one dollar if the cards are
kept. Every merchant in Red
wood Falls, including the two
print shops, sells Christmas
cards. Is there ony reason why
these local dealers should not
be entitled to this business in
asmuch as they can give better
values that the Casino Studio?
People who are loyal to their
own communities will use the
stamps thoughtfully enclosed
by the studio and mail these
cards back P. d. @.

Paderewski's Visit
Hailed in Atlanta
MUSICAL AND SOCIETY LEAD
ERS OF SOUTHEAST PLAN UN-
USUAL WELCOME FOR Plan
IST-STATESMAN.

Atlanta, Ga. - Paderewski, the
pianist-statesman whose concert in
Atlanta January 20 will assemble the
representative musical and society
leaders of the Southeast, is unique
among the heroes of history because
after he had liberated his native land
and won such popular alteration that
he might have become king, he for
sock the glory of high office to re-
turn to his piano.
When the world war developed the
need for a man with the genius and
the popular confidence sufficient to
unite all interests of Poland and make
possible for independence after gen.
erations of bondage to Russia, Ger
many and Austria, Paderewski was at
the height of his success as concert
pianist, with an income from his play
ing greater than any other musician
before him had ever enjoyed. He cam
celled contracts amounting to hum
dreds of thousands of dollars for HIM
self to respond to the need of his ma
tive land and during the years he
spent in establishinb firm govern
ment he was forced to spend all of
the vast fortune of more. than ST.
100000 he had accumulated during
more than a quarter of a century,
:. Then, after Poland had become
firmly established and might have re-
paid it's savior for his sacrifices in
its behalf, he turned over the reigns
of government to others whom he
knew were capable and set out to con-
quer the world again as a pianist.
The record of his success since that
time, during which he has played
throughout Europe and toured Amer
lea three times, has surpassed even
the record he had made himself be-
fore his patriotic labors for Poland.

Atlanta, Ga.-Dr. w. H. Clarke, of

Schools for poor boys and girls at Mt.
Berry, Ca. DR.. Clarke is a native of
Georgia, and has given twenty-five

Il think of Berry as training

to the boys at the school. "You are
being prepared to make your con-
tribution to the world. Remember
that Japan with population of forty
eight millions and territory about
the size of California is able to feed
its people with only l 5 per cent OF its
territory under cultivation. Imagine
so per cent of America living in Cal
ifornia and cultivating only Is per
cent of the land and supplying every
need as they do in Japan.
"The individuals do the work by

the women do the weaving and spin

this morning and saw some designs
very similar to those that they are
making in Japan.
1.-The educational work in Japan
has developed SO that, there is prac;-
tically no illiteracy there, and there
are not 100 children in Japan that
cannot read and Write"
Mr.. Clarke recalled a visit to the
Berry Schools about 1905 or 1906, but
there were just few cottages there
then. In the intervening years the
cottages have been removed and lii
their places there are a large num-
Der of modern up-to-date buildings.
The school covers MANY acres and was
founded nearly qua ter of cen

Georgia Farmer Lost
On Cotton Last Year

According to figures of the United
States Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies, made public recently, the
average Georgia farmer lost $3.50
per acre on his cotton crop last year.
The value based on lint at nineteen
cents per pound and seed at $33 per
ton, averaged $35.15 per acre for the
entire state. The cost as shown by
careful surveys in representative
counties of the state was 1895 per
acre. And this only allowed one dol
lar per day for man and the same for
mule labor.
The man who made less than 153
pounds of lint, which was the average
for the state, and produced it at an
average cost, lost more than $3.50
per acre. The same is true of the
man who produced only an average
yield, but at greater cost The man
who produced more than 1853 pounds
of lint per acre and at cost below
the average was the person who made
a profit on cotton raising.
If we make money on cotton in
1926, it must be done by growing at
a less cost per acre by increasing the
yield per acre, or by securing bet

ter price, says F. C. Ward, cotton spe-
ialist of the State College of Ag-
rieulthre. -
Decreasing tn ecost Of production
will be almost impossible is the opin-
ion of Prof. Ward, on account of the
rise of prices of fertilizer, labor, and
other essentials. Prices are uncer-
tain. and likely to be lower rather
than higher on account of the large
acreage that will be planted to cotton.
The safest and surest way Of maxi
ing the 1925 crop return profit is
by increasing the yield per acre, Prof.
Ward states. This can be done, ne
says, without a great deal of added
expenses by more thorough prepare
ton and cultivation, the use Of more
and better fertilizers, the use of pure
seed of the best varieties, and by con-
trolling the boil weevil.
