built with one end next to a string Of
feed hunks, so that the feeder can walk
right out into them with the corn when
feeding. A double crib with bin for
oats on one side should be placed near
the barn. In the winter the driveway
may be used for grinding feed.
A good weather proof machine shed

be located almost any place where

No Drums in tho Middle Ages,

AS we come to the middle ages,
when the nations Of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first the drum was not used
at all. So. although melody had been
known and practiced for many cen
turtles, rhythm had been quite forgot
ten. for what there is left to us OF
the music of the middle ages contains
no bars, and we know that it was
slowly and monotonously chanted'
without the least accent
In the eleventh century, however,
things began to improve, more partic-
ularly as the crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts of percussion instru-
ments from the east. Various kinds Oh
drums, tambourines and cymbals were
then seen In Europe for the first time
since the days Of savages, and they
have been used, with very little
change. ever since.-St. Nicholas.

French Peasan. Women Hard Workers

French Peasant Women Hard Workers.
The French peasant woman, Bre-
tonne or otherwise, works hard as any
man. 1t makes one sad to see the
women working in the fields, digging
and delving. carrying heavy burdens
driving the cattle, sometimes attend
ing to the machinery employed on the
farms. One wonders whether hus-
bands and fathers appreciate it all,
especially when you hear some OF the
ballads, for ballads are supposed to
reveal the soul Of a people. | heard
one the other day Of which the refrain
is as follows:
Dear is my good wife Jeanne,
Her death I should deplore,
But dearer are my beaves,
Their loss would grieve me morel

"What did she send that forT the
woman wondered. THE information
she wants can be sent in an ordinary
letter. 1t won't need to be sent spe-

THAT stamp" said the man. rs a
delicate hint to be quick about answer
ing. 1t is hurry up device used by
many men. 1t is very effective. A
two cent stamp does not always spur
one on to any special effort, but spe-
cial delivery stamp means that the
writer wants what he wants when he
wants 1t, and the most dilatory cor
respondent alive is not going to let any
grass grow between the scratches OF

vrHE kind of buildings needed OF

the farm, their arrangement
and location and the kind Of
material to make them Of are
problems that often perplex the farm
er who is just starting out to improve
his place. Ne attempt viii be made
here to give any specific plans, since
the buildings must be constructed to

gestions, however, may help to solve
some of the most troublesome building
problems.
Aside from the house, which will be
considered in the next article, the
most important farm building is the
barn. This is usually built as a shell

calves and to provide storage place

Vaudeville at the Majestic

With a bill that is above the average of the season as to quality. the Ma jectic offers the weeks amusement. The seven numbers comprise some of | the brightest of the years vaudeville attractions.
 A pocket edition musical show. with nine persons in the cast. and furnishing nine people in the cast. and furnishing half hour of fun and music, Is the feature. The act is that of George Hiliman and his Redpath Najanees Eight of the nine characterize boys and girls in school room, and the ninth person, of course, Is the teacher. A chorus of good voices and familiar juvenile atmosphere render the little show attractive. s4
 Cal Stewart, the corner grocery story teller, Is genuine rubev-on the stage. He has the knack of injecting the real rural essence in his fnonologue. so that even those of his jokes that are old become acceptable. tF 1ss
 "The New Pupil" Is another light weight comedy. There are three per- sons, two men and a woman. billed as the Three Richardsons. The woman Is character actress of ability, and her work as a hare-lipped girl is uproari- ous. The excellence of her comedy work Is the more recognizable. when she appears as a pretty girl of fash ion. The little play Is that of two music teachers expecting pupil. The pupil is described by letter as beauti- fui and the hare-lip. turns up. Then there Is the fun The act makes good
 Chester and Grace are real kids: as kids they work we'll. and there is some merit in the claim of the program that the two young people are song and dance premiers and are well up among the Juveniles in vaudeville.
 The Harrahs, roller skate artists. are graceful couple who-bave mastered we'll the are of gliding. Some of their work is new and startling, and tt Is all good to watch. ta'
 Lamont and Millham have Q musical novelty. The act itself. that of mak- ing tunes on bells and metal disks and every object in sight is not new. but the setting and the quality of the work puts the act will up with the average of its Kind.
 Harry Fetterer is billed as the prince Of ventrilouuists. It's hard to set such a standard for vaudeville per- former to meet, but as aySgentriloquist MT Fetterer leaves little to- be de- aired But when the audience knows ali the time where the talk Is coming fron,-well. 1t takes just such per- former to prevent the act from desen- erating into bore.

Asf committee of ythe Southern Field Trials Club composed of Law renee Lee and John Wallace. IT..

Every detair was gone Into by them in thorough manner ,and notfi- ing was left undune that will tend to advance the comforts of the guests and members of the club during the trials.
 The course selected is about seven miles in circumference. lying to the east of Lefohatchie on the lands of Mir. Mitchell. Most of it is well adap- ted for the dogs. being very birdy, but 90 situated that the judges can keep every brace in view except, of course. when they leave the course.
 About seven hours will be required for the running of the first and sec two days for both series of the all- ago stake. There will be but two Judges for the trials. T. T. Afford, of Birmingham. was appointed as one of the judges some time ago. and Monday s. H. Socwell secretary of the Independent Field Trial Club was made the other judge.
 There will be no trouble In regard to following the dogs. as Monday the committee made Arrangements for 16o saddle horses which will be kept at the grounds during the trials. These horses will be secured mainly from the country in the neighborhood of Letohatchie and rented to the members and guests at q moderate rate. The club. however. hopes that evarvnna who can will take his own saddle. especially women owning side- saddles. s
 There will be something over $3o.- 900 worth Of dogs at the grounds dur ing the trials and these aristocrats of the canine world will have every comfort given them as we'll their handlers. Monday seven comfortable kennels were arranged for in the low CT floor of big barn and several outhouses near the starting point. the handlers using the upper part of the barn for sleeping quarters as they win keep their dogs on the ground during the trials Arrangements were also made by the committed Monday for the serving of dinner or the grounds during the trials every day.

LOCAL MAJORITY SATISFACTORY

At the anti-amendment headquarters Of the Montgomery County Committee there was great jubilation Monday night over an submission of semi amendment newspaper of Montgomery that the vote in thia county would be at least 3.40o The report also admit and an even estimate would be that at least $500 votes will be recorded In this county.
 It was pointed out by the anti amendment leaders that < the zamend- ment forces had strenuousIy stated that there would not be more than B. 700 voteB polled in this county. and of that number they said that the de- lenders of the constitution would poll majority, of only 500 votes. This would reduce their estimate of vot- ing possibility in this county for the amendment of HOO votes, the best they can possibly count upon.
 Now comes the gavowed announce ment that there will be at least 4.z00 voters in this county who will be eligible to vote November 29. and of this number 1t Is estimated by q newspaper that has remained neutral on the question, that the vote Tn the county cannot be less than 3.40u.
 This. according to the managers of the campaign against the amendment throws the amepderg entirely out of their reckoning. They have admitted that they cannot poll more than 1,1od votes in this county. and, the leaders point out. that even this estimate may be exaggerated, and. therefore, if their own estimates can be taken as truth Montgomery County is, bound to roll up at least 1.40o majority against ths amendment.
 Tn the first of tho last seven days campaign, in which the amenders were supposed to be able to spring sur. prise on the forces who are defendins the home, the surprise has not devel. oped, according to those i. who ara keeping close watch on the cam paign. It is now admitted that the last stand of the amenders depends en' tirely on their ability to prevail or women and children to go to the polls November 29 and try to influence -vot' CTS to come out for the amendment.
 In this move. according to ths amendment leaders, they may bs checkmated. because of the fact that II spite of the efforts of the amenders ts decry the women of the State of Ala bama who are sensible enough to- leav, the voting possibility in the hands Q their husbands and brothers, there is goodly number of women in this Stat who will decline to take any part il the electionl
