Interesting Metings.
There ha? been a scries of very
inlerestlnB meetings at the Metho
dist church oi Alvo during the past
week, which have been illustrated by
Ftrreoptican pictures of the life and
work of St. Paul. As this is in line
with the Bible school lessons which
were studies during the last three
months of last year, they were most
interesting and instructive.
Mrs. Arthur Dinges entertained the
ladies of the Ladies Aid society of
the Methodist church of Alvo last
week at her home, and where the
ladies looked after the work in hand
and then turned to the lighter work
of the day, the social side, which was
followed by the luncheon which this
pastj mistress of entertainers had pre
pared for them and which added
much to the pleasure of the after
noon. The Ladies Aid of Alvo is a
very zealous group of church work
ers and do much to keep. the inter
est of the church work going and
are even more than an aid society
for they are real co-workers in the
things which are to be done in the
church here.
' Will Play From Buick Station ' ;.
The women of the Alvo Woman's
club, who are in a contest as to which
shall succeed, have been preparing
two playlets in contest with each
other and who shall later contest with
the club at Havelock, and the winner
to broadcast their play from the
Buick station in Lincoln, were prac
tising last week, and rehearsed at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Apple
man. The two plays are "no Men
Wanted" which is being put on by
Mesdames J. E. Foreman, Lyle Miller
and F. L. Dickerson and the other
is "The Acid Test," and is being put
on by Mesdames F. L. Edwards and
A. B. Stromer. We say they will
broadcast from the Lincoln station be
cause, we have much confidence in the
Alvo ladies coming out first In the
contest.
Drawing Causes Much Interest
The guessing contest which was
put on by the makers of Omar flour
and which is distributed by F. S.
Dickinson, caused considerable inter
est when the drawing came off. The
large bag contained Just 239 pounds
and 2 ounces, while the nearest guess
es were Mrs. Orris Foreman and Lee
Hill .which divided the flour between
these two, who also divided it ; with
some who they though might need
it. Mrs. G. P. Kahler was the next

association, came the word that the
organization considered radio a "ter-

Since then, however, the canges

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM I
OF FARM ORGANIZATIONS
Prosperity for the farmer is de
pendent upon a demand for products,"
eliminating overproduction, an,d suc
cessful marketing. J
Co-operative marketing seems to be
the answer but, so far, this has not
always been successful. Professor H.
c. Dale, economist of the Idaho state
university, gives two reasons why
this system often fails.
First, members of co-operative as
sociations are motivated by the de
sire, for.. profits, .drop out on the
slightest provocation, and od not
look far enough ahead. Second, co-
operatives have not pursued soujwl
business policies which characterize
most manufacturing enterprises

Reservations.
Washington, April 2. What pros
pects of acceptance by the United
States of the league of nation's in-
September on the senate's world
court reservations may have existed
when it was started on the way to
WaBhlngton. it was au
gtated Thurfi(ay vlrtuan

j The invitation arrived by cable al
most simultaneously with advices
'from Geneva of the circular sent out
by the league advising the 4 8 signa
tories to the world court protocol
to indicate ppposition to the proced
ure approved by the senate. The

man Borah of the senate foreign re
lations committee, as an attempt to
draw the- United States into direct
neeotiations with the leaerue and he
gaw in the move a logical sequence
to the action taken by the senate
when it voted adhesion to the court,
as well as new evidence of control-
ing ties between the court and the

Washington and the procotol cap
itals will be continued to determine
whether the reservations are accept
able. Secretary Kellogfi feels that in con-
shishes of the senate.

cated settlement of white men on

today were under the direction of
the Huguenot society of South Caro

French and American governments
participating.
Huguenots from all over the United

the speakers were Curties D. Wilbur,
Secretary of the' Navy; Ma j. -Gen.
John A. Lejeune, commandant of the
Marine Corps; Jules Henry, First
Secretary of the French Embassy at
Washington; and Thomas G. Mc
Leod, Governro of South Carolina.
Practically the only knowledge of
Ribarfs voyage is contained in the
account by Rene Laudonniere, one of
the colonists, as given in "Hakluyt's
Voyages." Among the settlers was a
cartographer named Le Moyne who

Fort was located on what is now
known as Parris Island, a part of
