Creamery Show What an Be Ac complished More Than Half a Million Dollars New Wealth Created Last Year Through Its Creamery Project Same Plan Adaptable for Other Lines of Agriculture. More than half a million dollars of new wealth created in one year by a single community that is the record of Grove City, Pa., a whole commu nity largely given over to dairying. There are many cities " and towns throughout the country engaged in the production of some one principal commodity. Miners increase the value of coal by taking it from the ground. Manufacturers add to the value of raw materials by shaping them into marketable products. These increase wealth. But Grove City actually creates new wealth. It takes the air, sunshine and water irofitable dairy cow. elements free to all and converts ; Grove City district them into gold dairy products. What the Grove City community is doing can be done by any commu nity that is satisfactorily situated and that has a well-equipped, well managed creamery. The fact that the management is supervised by the United States Department of Agri culture probably gives it no appre ciable financial advantage, because the relationship is investigational and ha snot reduced the cost of manu facture below that possible in many other creameries. The products are always sold on their merits, and the name of the department is not used to advertise them. Community Spirit Built Up The success of the Grove City creamery is due largely to the ad mirable community spirit that has been built up there and in the sur rounding district. That this spirit exists today is due largely to the ef forts put forth by the business men of Grove City, especially the mem bers of the Commercial Club, an or ganization that is open to the farm ers of the neighborhood who are in terested in the advancement of dairy ing. From the very outset of the un dertaking, in 1914, the business men took an active interest in the cream ery and in the movement toward gen eral agricultural development through dairying, and by their enthu siasm they aroused the interest of the farmers. The business men of Grove City took the first step, the farmers creased to $212,904; the third year to $375,596, and last year the gross nicome totaled $505,810. As only a small part of the money was used to pay the cost of operation, nearly all of it was distributed among the farmers around Grove City. Since much of the income was due to in creased and improved farm business, a large part of it may fairly be con sidered create dwealth. Improved Dairy Cowl The most direct cause of the greatly increased prosperity of the Grove City community is the more Dairying in the has been much improved by the purebred cattle that have been shipped in, but it has "been improved more by the scrub cattle that have been shipped out. The cow-testing association, which has taken the guesswork out of dairying in that district, is an organization of the dairy farmers who employ a test er to test their cows for production and to keep feed and production rec ords. Tuberculin tests from April, 1918, to May, 1920, were made on 387 herds, consisting of 4,988 animals, under the accredited-herd plan. Of thesee, 148 herds are already accred ited. According to latest figures, 250 farmers in the vicinity of Grove City own one or more purebred dairy an imals. The importation of purebreds is going forward steadily. The creamery has gained a repu tation for high quality of products. This has brought a ready market at satisfactory prices, which have en couraged larger production. - In creased financial prosperity, how ever, is only a small part of the gain that has come to the community. Bet ter schools, better churches, 'better hemes and better social conditions coming as a result of this, be- INFURIATED NEGRO MOB SEEKS REVENGE An infuriated negro mob consist ing of more than 300 negroes one day last week severely beat and at tempted to' lynch Isadora Cohen, white, at Newport News, Va., and probably would have succeeded had it not been for the courages and bravery displayed by the Rev.

(Boys' Life) The scarcity of coal is stimulating the search for other sources of heat and power. Much has been heard of "white coal," or the ingenious use of wate rpower. In Italy they have hit upon another plan which promises to revolutionize the industry of the country. There are several places in Italy where the internal heat of the earth comes so near the surface that it may be tapped. In other words, the volcanoes are being harnessed to supply power. The tests already carried on are reported to have proved very successful and the work will doubtless be greatly extended. The heat thus drawn from the earth i is converted into electric energy, i which is transmitted for great dis tances and employed to run railroads i and operate mills. There is practi- rally an inexhaustible supply of heat or power and it is believed that the ! r ressing coal problem of Italy will eventu: i'.v be solved.

MAY , SCARCITY OF GASOLINE SOON BE OVERCOME If present experiments beini dertaken by the department of culture tenmr ite satisfactorily, it won't be many years before every farmer will have on his farm a full fledged gasoline plant capable of dis tilling from wheat straw all the fuel he will require for his automobiles and farm machinery. According to the department of agriculture there is gas enough in a ton of straw to eiiual 40 gallons of gasoline. There is enough wheat , straw going to waste west of the Mis- sissippi river aione to equal at this rate, one-fifth the driving power of all gasoline now manufactured. Ex periments so far have extended only to wheat straw. If corn stalks, which are richer in carbon than wheat straw, can be used there are enough corn stalks wasted in the United States to more than equal all the gas oline now produced. There are also possibilities in sugar cane and the refuse of the cotton plant. Wheat straw when put through the same process used to make gas out of soft coal produces a gas which is almost identical with illuminating gas, and during the war all the Lon don omnibuses were surcessfully op erated on illuminating gas, as well as a great many of the lorries at the front. Automobiles have been run with wheat straw gas as the motive power. This has been accomplished by carrying the gas in a bag. The problem before the depart ment is the liquefying of the gas so that it can be used from an ordinary automobile tank. They are also hard at work on a retort and gas container which will be. within the means of the ordinray farmer who has an au tomobile and other gasoline-driven nachinery. qual-bcing I cent more than last year.

LEADING NEGRO GIVES ADVICE TO HIS RACE Born a slave, and now reputed to be one of the wealthiest and most respected negroes in the South, Da vid T. Howard, 71, a fe wdays cele brated his golden anniversary and made it the occasion to give some ad vice to members of his race. Beginning on a legacy of $150 left by his former master, Howard now owns a business rated as fourth larg est of its kind in Atlanta and finan cial institutions readily make loans on his name. "I never wasted time, never went in for wild oats, never saw a baseball game and never danced a step- but always attended to business," said Howard. "Xo social equality for me ; no sane thinking negro wants it." The negro today, Howard said, "wants better justice in courts, bet ter accommodations on railroad tra:ns and more schools for his chil ilre n."
