climax of Gods work the finest and
most beautiful of all the things he had
made.
"She was created not from common
dust, but from a crooked rib taken
from the side Of Adam. She was in no
way ordinary
she was an eXtract--like cosmetics
or perfumery which you ladies know
about--something better and mo- con

there's grand and there's greatest. The
creation of the world was great. the

The Coatless Senator.

On the fourth of August we attended
by Clemson teachers. These meetings
for the farmers are very helpful and
should be largely attended, especially by
the boys. AS agriculture is going to be
introduced in our public schools, we
should put great stress on these farmers
meetings. We, the women, are quite in
terested in these gatherings, for what is
ours. So we all went.
The United States Senator made
very fine talk. He spoke of the rural
mail. We believe the rural mail delivery
is one of the best things that was ever
done for the farmers. 1t is one of the
best means for the advancement of the
cause of education and the Senator is
the one who aided greatly in this noble
work. He then came to his 'pet sub
ject," good roads. The crowd was large
and it was very hot The Senator also
became so hot that he took off his coat
and continued his address. The Senator
would not have done this in Congress.
We, the women Of the country" de-
mand the same respect, for the highest
and purest womanhood is found in the
country. We have in the past few years
attended many public gatherings and
have noticed to our disgust that the men
come without coats, but must say it is
the younger men who do it. Not long
ago an educator (?) came to my fathers
home to tea. My father came in from
the field just as the tea bell rang. The
guest saw my father putting on his coat,
and he went to his buggy for his coat.
He had spent the afternoon talking to
the ladies of the home without his coat.
said to boy, "Why don't you put
on your coat?" "It is too warm? Big
men go without their coats" said theS
boy. Now you see what they catch from
the big men. How can we, the rural
school teachers, leach the boys to be po-
lite gentlemen when those in high
places set them bad examples.

progress of throat and lung diseases.
Even consumption yields to it's powerful
