JUDSONIA FARMER IS
WIZARD WITH SPUDS
Gets 522 Bushels Off One Acre
—Recognized as Expert
Searcy, Dec. 10.—Loius Hu
bach, of Judsonia, an unpre
tentious, but highly successful
fanner, who enjoys the repu
tation of being a plant wizard,
raised 20,000 pounds, or 333
1-3 bushels, of Irish potatoes
on one acre of ground. The
potatoes were planted in the
spring on land from which he
had cut a crop of oats sown
.the previous winter. The
soil was enriched with barn
yard fertilizer and thoroughly
prepared. Part of this crop
was sold at from $3 to $4 a
bushel. He planted a second
crop and dug 189 bushels,
making this one acre produce
in one year 522 1-3 bushels.
Mr. Hubach and his brother,
Mtartin, have a surplus of 800
bushels of second crop Bliss
Triumph Irish potatoes, which
are safely stored and will be
kept until a market is found
that will pay a profit to the
grower. Instead of depend
ing on a local market these
men are writing to other
states asking for market
prices.
Mr. Hubach and many of
his neighbors have each year
planted ofie acre of cotton to
nine acres of other crops, in
cluding corn, hay, potatoes,
strawberries and sorghum.
Mr. Hubach has been desig
nated by the United States
government as one of the
most successful plant breeders
i n America. A Louisiana
plant breeder is said to have
been given first place and
Hubach second.—Arkansas

A TUBE RCULOS 18 DAY
PRAYER.
O God, we pray Thee for all
whose vigor is being drained by
slow and wasting illness.
Strengthen their powers as they
battle for their life, and if it be
possible, we beseech Thee to
restore them and grant them
the fullness of their years. If
their strength is failing, give
1 them courage still to labor cheer
| fully and to leave to those who
[ love them dear memories of
| faith and patience for the dls
I taut days.
Sinoe we are all jointly guilty
of the conditions which have
bred this disease, may we stand
by those who bear the burden
of our common sin, and set the
united wilt of our community
against this power that slays the
young and strong in the bloom
. of their life.
May this death which creeps
from man to man be a solemn
reminder that we are all one
family, hound together in joy
und sorrow, in life and death,
that we may cease from our
•elfish indifference and together
seek Thy kingdom and Thy
righteousness which will alone
bring us health and life. Amen.

I
REALISTIC SCENES IN
“THE HONOR SYSTEM”
Although much has been
said about the general human
sympathy aroused in “The
Honor System,” the spec
tacular William Fox produc
jtion which is to appear next
Thursday and Friday at the
'jewel Theatre, one cannot
lose sight of the other great
and distinguished qualities of
this master drama which R. A.
Walsh directed.
| Eliminating the great moral
story, the powerful record of
human love and sympathy,
and judging it from the view
point of a spectacle, one is
forced to the conclusion that
jit is one of the finest pieces
of realism the motion picture
stage has yet seen.
I True, no great cities tumble,
and no heavens fall, and the
bowels of the earth are not
exposed to view, but this
photoplay shows more real,
flat on the earth human exist
ence than any film story
hitherto made.
| There are scenes depicting
the frontier life of Arizona
| which are without parallel on
the screen. Mr. Walsh was
born and reared in Arizona
and his men of the West
breathe, snort and fight West
ern fashion.
j The most moving scene is
jwhen the cowpunchers and
rangers of one town dash
madly on their mustangs and
cayuses to the rescue of their
pals in another border town.
|This second town has been
raided by Mexican bandits,
and Mr. Walsh’s scene makes
IVilla’s Columbus raid look
like a game of croquet.
