FERTILIZERS!
I have used Meridian Fertilizer four years. Am well
pleased with results and believe it will pay others to use it.
I will take orders for such quantity of fertilizer as any
one may desire. Will ship in carload lots and make deliveries
in January and February. Prices on application. See me in
Honey Grove any Saturday.

by the many friends of Miss Sa-
rah and her parents in this sec-
tion:
Permit the introduction of Sarah
Temple Sadler—genius, possessor of
the divine fire—and, heroine!
It’s her picture you see above—-at
the lower right. She was sitting in a
wheel chair when the picture was tak-
en. Upon the chair she depends for a
means of getting about. Upon it she
has depended since she was 6 years
old.
Sarah Temple Sadler is crippled in
body, but not in soul. She is an artist
by endowment, and the “something”
within finds expression through the
most remarkable water color paint-
ings.
Her work is remarkable in that she
has never had a day’s instruction in
art. Also, because of her affliction,
of six_ infantile paraylsis doomed her j
to an invalid’s chair. A year later, on
the advice of physicians, the family
moved to Amarillo for the benefit of
the higher altitude. Eighteen months
ago came the Dallas residence, Mr.
Sadler forming a connection with the
Nash-McLarty Company.
It was while living in Amarillo that
Miss Sadler met Mrs. William H.
Bush, of Chicago, a patron of the arts
and much interested in the Chicago
art school.
The photograph of the little artist
was made while she was enjoying the
exhibit of the Dallas Art Association
in the palm garden at the Adolphus
hotel recently. The background was
formed by one of Walter Ufer’s
studies, executed in New Mexico, call-
ed “Jim and His Daughter.”
. “The state fair exhibition was the
first I had ever seen,” said Miss Sad
.-----• -i; * , . aiiucuun, lirst j. naa ever seen," said Miss Sad-

Most of the people of Honey
Grove know, or have known Sa-
rah Sadler, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. N. Sadler, formerly of
eye, her lower-limbs were as dead
as the branches of a dead tree.
The physician turned sorrow-
fully away and said no cure had
been found for the awful disease
by medical science. A dozen
years have passed since then,
thousands of miles have been
tt . . y uwumuus ui miica nave oeen
i0nAynGr0V^ now residents traveled, many eminent specia1-
of Dallas. Sarah was born in
Honey Grove and her home was
here until she was about eight
years old, when the family moved
away, hoping that a climate
would be found that would be
beneficial to Sarah.
We remember Sarah first as a
beautiful child of three or four
* summers. She was a beautiful
child, as nimble and as active as
a gazelle, and a favorite with all
on account of her sunny disposi-
tion. Little Sarah went to bed
one night apparently in the en-
joyment of perfect health. Next
morning she could not arise. A
physician was called. He found
no trace of fever on her brow, no
pinch of pain in her face, but
£he could not stand or walk. In-
fantile paralysis had set up in a
night, and though the rose tint
of health was on her cheek and
ihe light of heaven was in her
.----- —apcuict “
ists have been visited and thous-
ands of dollars spent, but from
that fateful morning until the
present hour Sarah Sadler has
never walked. Miss Sarah is now
a beautiful young woman, and in
spite of her afflictions she has,
through the ebon walls of night,
hewn down a passage unto day,
for Miss Sarah is a talented
artist, whose pictures are win-
ning prizes and ministering unto
those who love the beautiful.
Last Sunday there appeared in
the Dallas. Times Herald a splen-
did story of Sarah Sadler and her
work by the gifted writer, Doug-
las Hawley. The story filled a
page of the publication, carrying
a likeness of Miss Sarah and a
photo reproduction of many of
her paintings. Below we print
a few excerpts from Mr. Haw-
ley’s story, which we know will
be read with great satisfaction

face downward upon a couch. Sitting,
she must wear a brace of steel and
leather.
Notwithstanding Miss Sadler has
denied the educational abilities
thay naturally go to one capacitated to
receive them, she is thoroughly poised
and composed. Her abilities as a con-
versationalist—her ease with strang-,
ers—is natural and unconstrained. In
fact, from one viewpoint she is even
more refreshing than the average
young lady. Because her education
has been within the home circle and
based on reading carefully selected
literature, there is none of the “flap-
peresque” slang or flippancy much de-
cried m the younger generation of
today.
At the time premium awards were
being mailed out by the State Fair of
iexas, following the 1922 exposition,
my attention was attracted to an ad-
dress that was at least out of the or-
dinary. “Sarah Sadler, care Nash-
McLarty Motor Co.” it read. The
awards were first premiums for
paintings from life in water colors”
and for “original work ,any design.”
The natural thought was that here
was a young lady stenographer or of-
fice worker who might be hiding an
artistic light under a commercial
bushel. Investigation resulted in
meeting Miss Sadler, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Sadler, 5722 Llano
Street^ Belmont. If you had had that
opportunity you would appreciate why
I have written “genius” and “heroine.”
• Sadler’s genius asserts itself
m .the Bakst-like coloring in her work
TT1-11 the bizarre, original, distinctly
Oriental faces that she draws.
Sadler is a heroine in that
ailliction has not warped her thoughts
“m no. sense has twisted the soul of
the artist in that she is unconscious of
physical handicap.
I can see I can hear. I have pic-
tures to look at; music to listen to—-
the skies are blue and the sun is
brJght; why should I not smile?”
That is her philosophy. Who can
deny that it is the expression of a
soul _ unconquerable ?

been here twice, now, and every mo-
ment has been just wonderful. I like
that sort of work—” pointing* to the
Ufer canvas. “When we were in Ama-
rillo and when I first commenced to
paint a little, we met several of the
artists who form the colony in New
Mexico—those who paint those won-
derful Indian pictures, you know, and
who have succeeded so admirably in
reproducing the beautiful colorings of
the sun on the mountains and in the
canyons. Victor Higgins was one of
them. He was at work on some
studies in the famous Palo Duro can-
yon near Amarillo, and his advice and
what little instruction he could give,
were, I think, invaluable. That is
about all the tutelage I have had,”
rather wistfully. “May be, some day,
I’ll have the opportunity to visit some
of the big galleries in the east or to
go to art school. How I should love
it.”
The little artist, of course, is de-
pendent upon members of her family
for getting about—downtown and the
like—but she has a big brother Will,
a devotee and personal attendant,
always considerate to the last degree,
who takes her to the pictures, musical
recitals and the like in his automobile.
Into the tonneau of the car, the stiff,
straight-backed wheeled chair Miss
Sadler is compelled to use, is loaded—
“little sister” is carried out and placed
in the front seat, and away they go
for an hpur or so of the enjoyment,
which, with ability to give expression
to the fires that burn within, keeps the
gifted girl sunny in disposition, cheer-
ful to the utmost, and despite her
physical handicap, full of the joy of
living.

Mrs. W. R. Baker and Family:
The Men’s Bible Class of the
Presbyterian Sunday school
wishes to express its deep sym-
pathy to you in this trying sad-
ness. Mr. Baker, with his kindly
disposition, his worthy example
in upright conduct, his good will
toward all mankind, and his
steadfast faith in God was an
inspiration to us. And because
of the infinitely closer relation-
ship and greater love he bore to
you, his family, we can realize
low much more his kind, loving
companionship, wise counsel and
gentle loveableness meant to you
than to us. Therefore, as the
members of the Sunday school
class to which and in which he
was so faithful, we extend to you
our sympathy, which is but a
faint symbol of that far greater
loving sympathy of the kind, lov-
ing Father whom he worshiped
with us. (Signed)
