tractor has been found to be a time
and money saving power unit.

let us demonstate its application to
your business,
You will also be interested in the
Ford cars with the new body changes

means o£ protecting animals against
blackleg and eventually ridding pas-
, tures of the infection, according to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture This disease, which is
found in all climates and altitudes

Although the increase in the num-
ber of cooperative home demonstra-
tion agents was slight throughout
the 33 Northern and Western States
during 1921, records of th/e United
States Department of Agriculture
show that practically 35,800 more
women became members of exten-
sion organizations than in 1920.
Also, 4,864 new communities under-
took to carry on one or more fea-
c tures included in extension programs.

munity progress, business success or
athletic endeavor—the result is the,
same. You will be returned a win-
ner if you have good team work.
Electra has been fortunate in this
respect. The local civic organiza-
tions 'have always worked toward
the same goal—the betterment of
Electra. Co-operation and team
.work will make small cities big and
it will make little firms great. In
every line of endeavor, the success
of that organization is attributed
to the co-operation of its fellow
workers. And nothing will cause a
.breaking-up and loss of ground so

Celebrates Thirteenth Birthday
Miss* Marie Cocks, daughter of
Mrs. Bessie Cocks, celebrated her
thirteenth birthday with a dinner
and party Friday evening at her
home on 316 East Wharton avenue.
Games were played throughout the
party and the hostess received many
beautiful gifts. Delightful refresh-
ments were served to the following:
Misses Florence and Madge Reeves,
Helen Jennings, Gwendolyn
hand Information which they would i Jincy G'arrett> Lillian
be unable to obtain from any other
source.
A display of the products as seen
by the public is a source of wonder.
The fact that the farmers living
in this immediate trade territory
could have found it possible to ar-
range for so creditable a showing
in the face of the past season;
which has been considered poor for
all crops.
Then too, it has been responsible
for establishing a still closer contact I
between the business men and rest- ■D
dents of Electra with the farmers
in this district.
All credit and praise is due to
the business men and different com-
mittees who have worked to make
the community fair a success.

The lasting good which re-
sults from a community fair
such as Electra is now having, is
manifold.
It is the direct means of recogn-
nizing the farmer’s efforts. The
judging of the exhibits and the
awarding of prizes to the winners,
is certain to provide encouragement
for all to produce better crops and
raise rjiner stock.
Through comparison with other
exhibitors, it will afford them first
