Neosho, Mo-, Feb. 20.-Some school
boys just dream dreams, but David
Garfield in Neosho, Missouri, be-
lieves in making at least one of his
dreams come true He pictured
himself earning money to pay his
way through college, then, wide
awake and determined, borrowed
$3.50 from a bank and bought a
pure-bred Jersey heifer.
Now, less than two years later,
when David is sixteen, Joe Duck,
vocational agriculture instructor in
the Neosho High School, announces
that David has made $241.94 net
profit from his two-year old Jersey
heifer in just exactly 34S days.
Moreover, his instructor believes
that David will have no difficulty
in building up a high producing
herd of Jerseys that will pay col
lege expenses by starting with this
heifer as the foundation of the herd.

DIX COLOR FILM
NEW SCREEN EPIC
Love Theme Is Enacted Against
Brilliant Background of Scenic
Southwest.

Another triumph for the Reese
Theatre. Directly following the
eight-weeks' engagement at the Cri-
terion Theatre, New York city,
where it played at two dollars adj
mission, comes the announcement
from Reese B. Harrington that
"Redskin," the new color screen
epic featuring Richard Dix, will play
the Reese Theatre, located at Har-
rington, Wednesday and Thursday
March 20 and 81, at Reese Theatre
popular prices.
A love theme as tender. as the
story of Romeo and Juliet, enacted
against the majestic background of
the littleknown American South
west with all the brilliant coloring
and beauty of the country is reveal
ed in "Redskin," the companion pic
ture of "The Vanishing American"
"Redskin" is the drama of a race
of people, clinging to old traditions
yet seeking to adapt themselves to
the new. 1t is the struggle of youth
against the caution of age; of youth
seeking release from the chains of
tribal custom. 1t is the romance of
a boy and girl of rival tribes, sep
arated by generations of ill-feeling
between their ancestors, who learn
to love and rise above the restric-
tions of their environment.
The major portion of "Redskin"
is in natural colors. Imagine the
color of Navajoe chiefs blanket
then try to imagine the color in
"Redskin," combined with the power
and majesty of the Symphonic Musi-
cal Score, and you will agree it
makes an emotion-stirring picture
which will not soon be forgotten.
Due to the special presentation
and the length of the picture, there
will only be one show each evening,
at eight o'clock. The admission
prices are 20, 80 and 40 cents.

Buying farm seeds of unknown or
inferior quality at reduced prices is
false economy. Millions of weed
seeds are sown each year because
uncleaned or half-cleaned seed grain
| is planted.
One or two poor-quality or under
sized vegetables in bunch give the
others bad reputation. Bunches
of vegetables for the market should
be of good quality, regularly sized,
and well-graded.
Choose bright days to water the
hotbed and water it only in the
mornings Watering in the eve
nings or on cloudy days chills the
bed, with danger of freezing the
plants. After watering, ventilate
the bed well, to dry the plant foliage
and the soil surface. This will pre-
vent loss of plants from damping-
off or mildew.
Lambs for early market should be
kept growing from the very begin
ming, and the best way to accomplish
this is by feeding them through
creep" Provide a rack for hay
and a trough for grain, arranged so
that the lambs can not get their
feet in them. Liberal feeding of
lambs dropped before pastures are
ready is profitable with average
grain prices.
Water with which dairy utensils
are scalded must be boiling hot TO
be effective. The method sometimes
used of rinsing one utensil after an
other by pouring water from one to
the next does not sterilize them. By
the time the last ones are reached
the rinse water which was boiling
hot to start with has become cooled
and so heavily infested with bac-
terra that it may be worse than
useless.
Substitute materials for bird nests
will be appreciated by the avian
home builders. Natural materials
are not so easy to find as they used
to be. Many birds will use short
pieces Of rags, rawlings and Irvine,
as we'll as excelsior, straw, hay and
cotton. If thoroughly wet clay is
available, it will be eagerly taken
by robins, phoebes and swallows.
In deciding when to turn the dairy
COWS on pasture, consider both the
COWS and the grass. Very early pas
turing is of little value to the COWS |

Sentences which suggest far
more than they say, which have an
atmosphere about them, which do
not merely report an old, but make
a new, impression; sentences which
suggest as many things and are as
durable as a Roman acqueduct; to
frame these, that is the art of writ
ing.-Thoreau.

Michigan for selling liquor but in
all states you're apt to get the
death sentence for drinking it.

because the grass is watery and low
in nutrients. Neither is early pas
turing good for the grass, as the
later yields will be reduced and
more damage from trampling may
occur. Keep the cows off the pas
ture until the grass is at least sew
eral inches high and abundant
enough so they can get their fill
in a few hours.
Both the seed and the soil are
guilty of carrying wheat scab. Con-
troll of this disease in the Central
States and eastward depends not
only on using clean seed, but SOW
ing it on clean, well-prepared
land If wheat is sown ON corn
land, all cornstalks should be re-
moved and the stubble well plOwed
under. Scab f1ourishes in moist,
warm weather and the wheat should
be sown when the ground is cool,
on the earliest safe date in spring
or the latest safe date in fall.
The average dressed carcass of
Alaska reindeer weighs $50 pounds.
At the present time the meat only is
placed on the market, the hides be-
ing used locally in the Territory for
making the sleeping bags and cloth
ing used in the North. When free
from grub holes, the hides make ex-
cellent leather for jackets, gloves,
and other garments. When the
reindeer industry has been develop
ed more extensively, it is probable
that use will be found for all parts
of the animal, as in the case of
other kinds of livestock.

Old Memories
Arthur Kennedy. Gradu-
ate Is Years AGO, Visi-
tor at Mckinley School.

Eyes din1med with memories of
schooldays long ago, tall, middle
aged man, hair tinged with gray,
sat with pupils at the William Nc
Kinley school, 801 South State ave-
nue., Thursday and revisited the
scenes of his childhood.
Arthur Kennedy, a graduate of
the school sixteen years ago, and
now broker in San Francisco, re-
turned to his childhood haunts
Thursday and presented moving
pictures of his many travels to the
pupils.
He told how he was graduated
from No. 80, gone west, worked in
a San Francisco brokers' Office all
day and attended night school to
finish his education.
In the geography classes at old
No. 80 he had dreamed of strange
countries, and wished he might some
day visit them. When he returns
to that same brokers' Office next
month he will have completed a
trip around the world. His childhood
dream is realized.
Nov that I have attained that
goal and visited the old school again,
am ready to go back to San Fran
CISCO" he said.
