LECTURE COURSE SEASON
WILL Open FRIDAY NIGHT

With all the talk Of the institute at
fractions, the local people are in dan
ger OF forgetting that the usual lecture
course will be given in the Assembly
hall this year, and that the talent will
be equal to that OF any past year. The
school children have been making an
active canvas of the town during the
last few weeks and the sale Of tickets
has been very fair, The first attraction
will be given Friday night of this week.
October 2Sth, and is OF exceptional
merit. A concert has ALWAYS filled
Assembly hall and no doubt will on
this occasion. The following Is good
description Of The Vassar Girls, who
are booked to appear This company
Is the outgrowth OF an ideal. About
ten years ago gentleman of some
means and liberal inclination conceived
the idea of educating double quartette
of girls for high class concert work.
With ample means and not impatient
circle of his acquaintance eight girls of
superior character and musical ability
and furnished them means to complete
their literary and musical education,
guiding the latter in the direction OF
their contemplated work.
The selection of personnel OF a COM
pany five years in advance of their first
engagement, is something unique in the
history OF company organization and
gives Vassar Girls distinction enjoyed
by no other. After these years of
schooling and special preparation, the
eight original girls appeared in concert
in an eastern city and their success was
instantaneous and eminently Justified
the time, expense and work required TO
prefect their musical education. make
solo artists of each individual and make
them a unit in their ensemble work.
For five years this company of
educated, cultured and refined young
women has honored its name, the
Eight Vassar Girls, IN high class
musical event In the best advanced
vaudeville in the leading cites of the
United States, and has demonstrated
as have many of the great artists of
the world, that good, clean musical
event Of superior quality, free from any
suspicion of coarseness or cheapness wins
appreciation and applause on its merits
everywhere. So great has been their
success that practically all their iime
for five years has been consumed In re-
turn date work In twenty or thirty cities
through which they made their tour,
such as New York, Philadelphia, Buf
falo, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and San
Francisco, where ever-iocreasing aud
fences have greeted them.

The thirty-fourth anniversary ban
,quet OF John NJ. Read Lodge, F.. & A.
M, OF Reynoldsyille, held in the l. o..
o. r. hall Friday evening OF last week /,
was brilliant affair and a pleasant one
for all in attendance. Covers were
spread for eighty couples and all the

decorations were flowers furnished and
arranged under the direction Of Mrs.

booklets with an embossed blue and

Good Night Dear Orchestra
When the soul stirring strains of
David Reynolds violin hoated across
the room. there was an irresistible
inclination to trip the light fantastic
pose. The old time cotilions were
rendered by Mr.. Reynolds as only he
knows how they were played half a
century ago, and many OF the older
people present, who had not danced for
years, simply could not resist the
temptation To renew the memories of
youth and danced the evening out.
All in all it was gathering that will
be remembered by those participating
for many years to come, and its success
reflects credit on the Worshipful
Master and Secretary, Harry L.
McEntire and William Coping, who
arranged all of the details of the affair.

GROWING PEANUTS IN SOUTH
Ono of the Most Desirable of Soil
Renovatfng and soiI-lmproving
2lants-By-Products Valuable.

To most persons the peanut sug-
gests only the article as it appears
for sale, whole, shelled or sailed, but
during recent years the uses OF pea
nuts have become numerous, and in
clude a wide range Of utility. The
demand for peanuts for use in the
manufacture of food preparations Is
constantly increasing. By-products
of the peanut are now being en-
ployed extensively In the manufacture
of feeds for farm stock and dairy
cows.
The peanut is rapidly becoming an
important farm crop throughout the
southern states It's vines are val
liable as forage and the peas that are
not marketable can be used for feed
ing purposes. Throughout the boil
weevil district of the cotton belt the
peanut is rapidly becoming of i'm
portance as money crop, and special
oil-producing varieties will doubtless
assist in keeping the oil mills of the
southern states supplied with raw
materials. The peanut. plant, in COM
mon with other leguminous plants, has
the power of collecting the free nj
trogen of the atmosphere and storing
1t in little nodules upon its roots. For
this reason the peanut is one of the
most desirable of our soil-renovating
and soil-improving plants. 1t should
be borne in mind, however. that in

the privilege of doing good deal of
personal work during the past few
weeks. Without stretching the point,
l can say I have had personal con-
versation with several hundreds of
heather. Not one to whom l have
spoken but has acknowledged that he
must become Christian. The young
empress of Korea has not been ma
king good progress with her studies,
SO it was felt she ought to have some
young lady companions who are used
to study. A young lady from our
school was chosen for this position.
She has been in the palace less than
month, but she has found many oppor-
tunities Of witnessing for her Lord,
with the result that her majesty has
definitely set one hour each day for
the study of Christianity, and ordered
that Bible and hymn-book should
be procured for her. 1t has been my
privilege to order specially bound
copy of the New Testament for her"

TIMELY FARM NOTES.

Sweet potatoes grow best on a light
sandy loan.
Weeds take more moisture than hot
winds.
A moist, cloudy day is an ideal one
for transplanting young plants.
Money paid labor for handling
weeds is worse than throwing it away.
Breathing dust will injure chickens
the same as other animals.
Where hens are used for incubation
they should be provided with nests
separate from the laying hen flock.
For the earliest crop of lettuce and
radishes, work into the soil some
strong, stimulating fertilizer, such as
poultry droppings.
In Mexico, farmers instead of fen.
cling In their hay and stray stacks,
erect them on platforms out of the
reach of cattle.
Red clover is usually sown with a
grain crop, so that it will cover the
field after the latter has been har.
vested.
The rhubarb roots should be re.
newed occasionally, as the old ones
sometimes rot Do not allow the seed
stalk to go to seed.
Tomatoes run on trelhes will not do

shine. They need shade.
Blackberries do not feed widely and
hence they do not materially interfere
with the growth of the apple trees.
Keep up liberal flow of milk by
good feeding till grass comes. The
first grass is watery and contains but
little actual feeding value.
Glover hay is the standard Of ex-
cellence by which the feeding value of
all other leguminous crops is meas.

There is ready market for all the
milk, cream and butter that the coun-
try can produce.
Most dairymen and farmers now
raise their calves by hand, feeding
them largely on skim milk during the
early period of their lives.

Fungi Destroyer.

Scientists have long believed that
some form of sulphur other than the
copper sulphate would destroy fungi
without injury to the fruit and vege-
tables, says The Stockman. This pas.
season experiments were made With
self-boiled lime sulphur, ETC., and each
experimenter advocates most strongly
his own preparation. We believe
that the most promising of these prep
arations was experimental with last
year under the name of "Sulfocide, :"
containing actually between 20 and
80 per cent. of sulphur in solution, ad.
hitting of a great dilution; and In
every instance where tried as a sub.
stitute for bordeaux mixture, it has
far surpassed 1t in effectiveness with
no injury. Whether 1t can be used
on peach and plum will be a matter
Of future experiment, but the fact
that with less trouble and expense It
can be used where bordeaux has been
the only remedy is very encouraging,
and makes it worthy of trial

1t has been proposed that great
saving in weight would be effected by
reducing the length of the cars and
substituting lighter four-wheeled
trucks for the ponderous 'six-wheeled
trucks now in use. The roof con-
struction could be considerably light
ended by abolishing the end platform
and substituting entrances at the GEN.
ter of the cars and vestibuting the
car bodies directly against one an
another.
But the greatest reduction in weight
it is thought would come from the
substitution of steel for wood and the
application to the design of the cars
of those principles Of steel construc-
ton which have rendered the modern
steel bridge such marvel of light
ness in proportion to its strength and
the load it can carry The weight of
the present railroad cars is the result
of too much coach builders art and
too little of the bridge engineers.

GREAT WEIGHT OF SLEEPERS
Most Extravagsnt and Costly Method
of Transportation Is Sleeping
Car Train.

The most extravagant and costly
method of transportation in the world
is the sleeping car train, which car
ries two tons OF dead weight for eV-
cry passenger moEed. The great
weight of passenger cars is due in no
small measure to the great length to
which these cars },ave grown in recent
years. The body of modern sleep
err" over 70 feet in length, supported
on truck at Zach end, may be re-
garded structurslly as a bridge car
ried on two enc piers. And in the
case of the car, as of the bridge, the
bending stresses tend to break it In
two. and Therefore the weight of ma
terial necessary to resist those stress
es increases in a much more rapid
ratio than the length. Moreover, the
concentration of weight on the two
trucks calls for heavy construction in
the trucks themselves.
