so largely depends.
Harrison county is already known
as the leading agricultural county
in the State, most blessed, indeed,
in this respect, but the age has come
when science must be more greatly
pressed to the aid of nature and
conditions. Owing to the activity
of public works and their great
number in the county, farmers have
a condition of scarcity of laborers.
Wages are consequently higher and
the demand is greater for the use
of machinery and scientific
methods.
Besides nature itself has under
gone great changes and soil and
cline must be looked after. Pests
years ago unknown nov exist and
are injurious to crops. These must
be COPIED with and eradicated as far
as possible. Drainage is another
important feature, and e a sort
of irrigation is needed at some
points.
These are but a few of the things
that urge themselves as subjects
worthy of the attention of the
farmers. There are many others
just as important, of which there
should be a knowledge that will re-
suit in benefit. These and kind
red subjects will be discussed in .
practical way at the institutes in
Harrison county, and certainly with
this the case it is needless to urge .
large attendance, as the farmers OF
Harrison county surely all realize
the urgent necessity of gaining all
the knowledge possible along the
line of their avocation and to aseer-
tain and familiarize themselves with
the best and latest methods OF reap
ing from the soil the richest har-
vest. 4aAI

The Democracy of the First Con-
gressional district is as listless AZ
months or a wear ago. II has not
! found a man yet willing to be HUB
bard's target, except two in Har-
rison county, one of whom merely
wants to keep the old organization
intact, so that the other ones fol-
lowing and friends may not get the
aseendency in the party in the
county. And this condition pre-
walls, too, Notwithstanding the on
vention is but two days off. In
deed, it is not a hopeful sign for
Democracy. Furthermore, the dele
gates who come to the convention
here Wednesday have no idea whom
the party wants and they themselves
must dictate, as it were to the masses
of the party in the matter. Would
it not have been much fairer and
better to have done like the Repub-
did? The masses of that
party said by ballot whom they want
ed to represent them in congress.
But, Democracy, through its ma
appears to be afraid to let its /
party have a voice in the selection
candidates. Instead, the machine
forces its own selection on them.
Little wonder it is that such candi-
lates made a poor showing at the
polls.

~ ARWYS ~

War Department officials have been
confronted with rather knotty problem
the past week, owing To a controversy
that arose between the Hfe-savng
crews at Fort Casw ell. North Carolina
and the army officers at that post.
An officer on duty al the fort was
threatened with proceedings in the civil
courts because ne ordered the post quar-
teTmasteT 10 take care OF a lot Of lum-
her which had fiOated ashore in the
recent storm off that coast The life
savers discovered il about the same
time. and they claimed il as their legi-
innate salvage.
The iife-saving station at that point
is located on the military reservation.
which makes the proposition an unique
one Capt L. }. Timberlake, COM
mandant OF the post. is in entire charge
Of the reservation. which borders the
coast and on which the lumber was
washed.
The question has assumed serious
aspect down at Fort Caswen. and the
War Department is prepared 70 call
upon the Department az Justice 10 de-
lend Captain Timber erlake In his action.
tor under the law he Is entitled TO take
charge of material which is washed
ashore on the reservation. The Gov
ernment, as II naturally follows, be-
comes the owner OF the refuse Con.
siderable correspondence over the ques-
tiOn has resulted
II appears that the life-saving crews
have made a practice OF taking posses
sion OF any material o. value east
ashore by the sea, and dispos!ng Of il

est. The stand of the War Department
doubtless will make a test case Of the

Gentle Art Of Eating Pie.

when he gets his mouth on a pie
it's his p'e-and he eats it,"
This eloquent and elegant remark is
often heard at the District building
about an overworlIed employe who at
fects fondness for the succulent and
mysterious product OF the baker-man-
With him, TO eat pie is TO perform a
truly businesslile, systematized opera
tion, with little effort and no waste.
After years of pie consumption he has
finally evolved a method compared 10
which those OF the champion pie-eaters
OF the river-eXCursion pie-eating con-
tests are exhibitions Of crude sava gerry.
His procedure Is To be commended for
deftness, cleanliness. individuality, and,
incidentally. dispatch.
Nowadays even the most benighted
rural dwelIer knows that, owing 10 the
edict of the Four Hundred OF SO. uttered
some years ago. IL became no longer
proper for Americans 10 eat pie with a
knife But who who shall step forth
and be bold enough 10 assert that IL is
repre- ehensible to employ the shears?
Now. while the pies that mother used
10 make are free from blemish and in
always Joyful 20 sight. touch. taste. and
gastronomic appreciation, the pies Of the
lunch counter are not so happily con
structed The mere effort TO separate
one with a fork may end in diSmay and
humiliation, so uncertain are its results
But the aforesaid connoisseur IN pies
has reached the point where. scorning
the knife laying aside the fork as
futile, and forever eschewing the vulgar
habit of smearing the visage with out
pOurings OF pastry full TO repletion with
what-not etc. in the effort to consume
it safely, now relies upon scissors aut
nullus'
So, when the customary section Of pie
for his midday exercise arrives (for he
is ever too busy 10 go out 10 luncheon).
he settles in his chair. props his feet
upon his desk, and, seizing his huge
shears. with swift, sure strokes-ciip

waiter lady calls II. With great sue
cess. the composition is sliced into small
seGments and transferred TO the facial
orihce. The eating of that pie Is thus
cinch. Il disappears in tTice, or at
most i'm two or three trices-
Those who have witnessed the per
Torrance have been struck by the dain-
tiness and expedition with which the pie
can be made 10 disappear in large guam
titles. Over-Tushed District employees
welcome this ideal way of making sure
Of pie and getting right back at work:
