Silhouette snaps of work on the farm are but one type of autumn picture
opportunity. Note the effectiveness of the low viewpoint.
4 FEW years back, most folks
1 * stopped taking pictures at the
close of the summer season. Now,
however, autumn has become one
of the best and busiest snapshot
seasons. Better cameras, faster
films, and the natural charm of fall
outdoors, make end-ot-summer one
long picture-whirl for the camera
fan.
Stay-at-homes don’t know what
they're missing. There’s a picture
subject at every fence-corner in this
changing season. Fields are busy
—crops aro being harvested and
late fruit gathered in. The weather
is grand for hiking, with a camera
siung over your shoulder and a
pocket full of film. There is warm
color and atmosphere in the land
scape, richness in the cloud-massed
skies, and grandeur in the autumn
sunsets —a challenge to any camera.
Record autumn fully in pictures,
and you will have a snapshot col
lection worthy of an album all its
own. Tell the complete story—the
season's change, the harvest, all the
details that, make autumn different.

Economics girls of Elmodel High
School will be joint hostesses to their
mothers and fathers at a barbecue,
Wednesday night, December 20th, at
the basketball shell.
Each year the vocational classes en
tertain their parents but from now on
we hope the Father-Son, Mother-
Daughter entertainment will be to
gether, since the work of the Future
Homemakers and Future Farmers are
so closely connected.
Emphasize the transition, showing
the decline of the year, the promise
of cold weather to come. Falling
leaves, wind-tossed corn silhouetted
against a cloudy sky, plump pump
kins lying among the shocks of corn
already cut, and horses or machin
ery pictures against the background
of a riotous sunset. . . all are good.
There are literally thousands of
opportunities, everywhere. On an
autumn hike or outing, let one of
the girls in your party stand on a
ridge, with the wind blowing her
scarf and hair —and picture her
with the blue sky as background.
There’s appeal In such snapshots.
When there are magnificent clouds,
slip a color filter over the camera
lens to make them stand out against
the blue sky. Use the filter, too, in
picturing distant scenes, and far
away objects will show up more
clearly in your pictures.
Depend on autumn for Interesting
pictures—keep your camera busy—
and you won’t be disappointed. Now
adays the picture year has four
seasons, and this is one of the best.

Merritt Resigns
As Newton Mayor
Dec. 15, 1939.
To The City Council, City of Newton
And My Friends and Supporters;
I hereby tender my resignation as
Mayor of the City of Newton, ef
fective December 15, 1939, which al
most completes three terms as Mayor
of this City.
I appreciate all the courtesies shown
me by the City Council and also to
my good friends who have so -whole
heartedly supported our administra
tion.
During this period we have cleared
up a deficit amounting to approxi
mately $2,000.00 in accounts payable
and have spent considerable money
for improvements to the City which
includes a $25,000 Water System
which in reality only cost the tax
payers of this City $15,000, the bal
ance being donated by the Public
Works Administration.
• I hope that the present set-up can
'be continued and some day make a
great city.
Sincerely,
C. C. MERRITT.
Bananas a Staple Food
Although bananas have only been
cultivated for about 60 years in any
large quantity, they have become
the staple food of millions of na
tives throughout the world. Before
this the banana had lots of seeds
and was rather disagreeable in
taste.

“Marigold” originally was “Mary’s
Gold,” because the peasants of
Europe and Mexico formerly used
