First Community Fair
In Jackson County
The Deutschburg Community
Fair, the first ever held in the
county, was a success, advised
W. L. Wilkinson, county agent in
Jackson Co., in his weekly field
report. Something like 200 peo-
ple were present, a number com-
ing from adjoining communities.
There were twenty-two head of
dairy stock and thirteen pens of
poultry exhibited and a good dis-
play of farm and garden products.
Thirteen Club members out of
fifteen brought exhibits, and
about fifty-five dollars were given
for prises besides the awards
made to club members. The coun-
ty judge delivered an interesting
and helpful address, the County
Home Demonstration agent gave
a poultry culling demonstration
and the county agent gave dairy
cow judging demonstration. This
community fair originated with
the club members and was carried
lu such a successful conclusion
because of the organization and
cooperation of the people of the
community.—Extension Service

South Texas Planed
Victoria, Texrs, Dec. 27.—
Judge Ben W. Fly is having a 75
acre pecan orchard laid out on
his farm on the outskirts of Vic-
toria. He expects to transplant
about 1200 trees which he is tak-

-county, is superintending laying
•off the land and the plant.
Judge Fly and Jowers estimate
that within 25 years the trees
will yield from $500 to $1000 per
acre.
When this land is developed
according to present plans the
Fly orchard will be the largest
one in South Texas. —Houston

By Jesse E. Campbem,
New Years, 19?1~22.
Well, goodby 1921, your passing we regret,
Although you held a lot of grief
We gladly would forget.
We spring to meet you, 22,
With welcome glad and bright—
As you renew our dearest hopes,
For all that's fair and right.
Illusion.
(Republished by Request.)
Give mc the illusion of hope, I pray,
To cheer my soul onward from day to day:
Give me the illusion of love, to see—■
The bright happy ways of the busy bee, v
The sheen on the cloud, and the soul of the rose,
The spirit of joy in the breeze as it blows—
And wafts me the fragrance of blossoming trees
And caresses my check with desire to please.
And give me, Oh give me the sonl of surprise
To drink deep the light in the loved-one's eyes—
Nor dispel one illusion I've cherished so long,
That has brightened my path with a glad merry song;
For illusion is life in it's happy ascent!
Disillusion—the wall of a soul in torment!
» For they only progress to a beautiful plane
Who drink of illusion—as flowers sup rain.
"Baby League" as he tails it,
plainly envisions the moment
when we shall be called upon to
hold the German cow while
France milks her dry. Well, on
the whole, Uncle Sam a tolerable
considerable dairyman, and very
stout in the arms, yet whose ideal
is—justice.
BIRDS.
Poets write daffy stuff about musical
birds,
Rhapsodize o'er their plumage so
gay!
But I vow there's no bird half so dear
after all,
As the stork with his wise cuteful
way.
ALL'S WELL.
1 And 191'2 is going to be a bright
marker in the history of this won-
derful oil territory. Actual de-
vplnpment on a large scale will
now be set in motion. The big
day of our hopes has dawned
brightly, and there will be no
backward step. Watch our
smoke, but don't begin holding
your breath until I tell you to,
which will be soon.
IT MAY BE SAID.
There is too much mouth ser-
vice and not enough golden-rule
and mind your own business ser-
vice. Let's face about. *
A MATRIMONIAL HUNCH.
Immortalize your love romance!
It need not—should not—be kept
eternally violent, but may be
kept eternally sweet.
EMERSON SAYS.
Nerve us with incessant affir-
mations. Don't bark against the
bad, but chant the beauties of the
good. . . .
A lot of our teachers would
give the world better service if
they understood this law.
WORRY.
• Although we escaped a mighty
rough milking ourselves, Arthur
Brisbane, in deep travail over the
Rub-My-Tism, a pain killer.

Whose $50?
We were much surprised the other day to
find $50—Fifty perfectly good dollars—
lying alongside the roadway in the corner
of a field. It had been there for several
weeks and looked much the worse for wear
The $50 was in the shape of a Cultivator.
It was rusting fast. By spring it won't
be $50 any more. Another season and it
will be worth about 50 cents UNLESS
IT IS PROTECTED.
Farm Implements don't wear out-
They rust out.

Let us give you an estimate on
an Implement House that will
protect them.
