MADISON COUNTY FARMER GROWS LARGEST PUMPKIN EXHIBITED IN COUNTRY GROWN ON FARM OF FORMER COUNTY COM MISSIONER, J. B.Mc-DEVITT HEfWAftTED It READ The News-Record has often carried short notices calling at tention to the value of adver tising in this paper but a decent experience of an editor as re ported by a paper in South Da kota again shows that news paper advertising is more ef fective than that secured through the use of billboards This experience as given by the Division of Publication of the State College Extension Ser vice is as follows : An editor and a merchant were discussing the virtue of billboard advertising. The merchant contended that more people read the bill board than the newspaper. After a lengthy conversation hv which neither man would give in, the men parted. The next week the mer chant came tearing .down the street to the newspaper office wanting . to know why the obituary of his wif e's moth er was not, in the paper, espe- ally after he 'had seen that copy was taken to the news paper vuive. ,v v;'Av.-v"- '' "Well," said the editor, I Sales at Adams :- Warehouse, Green- fiiM-ieUTeime There appeared an illustra tion of a pumpkin in an Atlan ta paper supposed to be the largest in the Country Which weighed 72 pounds, but Madi son County boasts of one much larger, which has been on ex hibit in the Citizens Bank of Marshall for some time which weighs 94 pounds. The pumpkin in question was grown by Riley Capps on the farm of J. B. McDevitt. Mr. McDevitt has one of the best farms in Madison County and has built his land up by the latest methods, and now has the same in the highest state of cultivation. He is considered one of the best farmers in the County and will take great pleasure in giving any farmer who would care to visit his farm his methods of farming which would prove very profit able and would result in great er prosperity for Madison County. 14 township be appointed con stable for a term of two years upon presentation of a proper ly signed petition from the citizens of No. 14 township.

Some time ago he witnessed the annual football gajne be tween Yale and Harvard Uni versities. His estimate for the expenses was $240,000 for tick ets, $50,000 for train fare, and from $50,000 to $75,000 for meals. Many of the men dould have easily earned $500 that day. Why did they leave their work for such an activity? The game was played in the mud and rain. But it was a form of work that showed bril liant display of cooperation. The spirit of it thrilled the thousands. The victory was Yale's, for she had better team work. It takes -the team and not a part of it to wirra game. . It took four ' men, one sup plementing the other, to carry a sick man to the Master; one could not have done it, or $wo could not have done it. ' Are you playing a game all by. yourself? Don't say, "If I' can't be IT I won't play." You must supplement ' the work of some one - else whether in the ' kitchen, the classroom, - or the laundry, v ' -m Learn ho.w to work together and thus supplement each oth er in every undertaking. That makes a team or school great Make yourselves realize the Yast importance of cooperation. The Ilijhland LooVort.
