many tales about the road conditions
thsough the lower section Of Mary

automobiles. and. according 70 these
reports, there were saany bad
stretches where 10 would we'll nigh
impossible for q car 70 get through.
AS n matter of fact, the roads we're

any of the ether three trips. .Ex-

Though fast time can be made
over it. there is but lit.le cha pcs

The State highway commission,
who have been building road from

Short Crop Of Cow Peas

Prices are going up. The enormous
demand for Cow Peas last year carried
the price very high. and as the crop IN
very short and the acreage In ranidly ex.
tending. there are many indications
which point to much higher prices as the
sowing season approaches.
WHIP-POOR-WILL cow PEAS.
The Whip-poor- wills are generally pre.
ferred in the Central and Southern
States. They are bush form, early ma
turing aud especially desirabls for Peas.
NEW ERA cow PEAS.
New Era's are little earlier. and make
more vine than the Whip-poor-wills.
WONDERFULS, CLAYS AND MIXED
COW PEAS.
For Hay, the Wonderfuls or Mixed
low Peas are more productive, they
should always be planted with an occa-
slonRl grain OF Corn. Sorghum Seed.
kaffix Corn, etc. which will prevent the
vines from getting damaged by coming
in contact with the ground.
BLACK COW PEAS.
Black Cow Peas are little later in ma
turing than Gays, they make a good
growth oil vine, are exceptionally good
Tor medium or poor land, and will stand
almost any amount of wet weather with
out injury. We can also supply Snin-

A BATHLEss AGE.
For Thousand Years the People Of
Europe Went Unwashed.

For = Thousand Years the People Of
Europe Went Unwashed.
When Egypt. Greece and Rome were
at the height of their ancient power
their citizens made bathing a social
function. a municipal duty and a re-
ligious observance. The public baths
of these nations were magnificent ar
chitecturally and important as centers
Of hygienic and municipal sentiment.
With the. decadence of these coun-
tries the world seems to have reverted
to period of mental sloth and physi-
cal uncleanliness. AS an authority on
the matter puts 1t:
For 1000 years there was not a
man or woman In Europe that ever
took bath. If the historian Of these
times. -Michelet. is to be believed. The
ancient love of the bath seemed to
have disappeared from of the land.
There was no Greece or Rome to
hold up the ensign of cleanliness to
the nations of Europe. Small wonder
that the people of the continent be-
came physical decadents, as indeed
they were in spite of tradition to the
contrary.
1T Is not strange that there came
the awful epidemics that cut off one
fourth of the population of Europe
the spotted plague. the. black death.
the sweating sickness and the terrible
mental epidemics that followed in their
train-the dancing mania. the mewing
mania and the biting mania.
THE bath was banished and filth
was almost deified. Indeed, 1t was
then thought that the sanctification of
the body was only accomplished when
that body was indeseribably dirty

POLICE OF GERMANY.
Privacy of the Home No Bar to TheI
Farreachina Authority.

Privacy of the Home No Bar to Their
Farreaching Authority.
To foreigner no feature Of German
life is more striking than the promi-
nence and almost unlimited authority
Of the police. Many Of its functions
are such as in the United States would
be intrusted only to court of law
What seems almost equally strange
the greater part of these functions are
exercised quite independently of the
local government.
The minuteness and thoroughness Of
the work of the German police are a
constant surprise to the foreigner. The
policeman not only preserves order in
the streets. but exercises a farreach-
ing authority in private houses. For
instance. he undertakes the nightly
locking of ones street door at a suffi-
ciently early hour. He sees that one
has his chimney regularly cleaned He
inspects at stated times ones stoves
and heating apparatus. and while he
Is about 1t he will look into a few
other matters of domestic economy.
One feature of his activity strikes a
good many American visitors with ia
vor In some places singing and piano
playing with open windows are for
hidden. and 1t is a common house reg
ulation in large towns that no pianos
may be played after 10 o'clock In the
evening. The German policeman is
also something of food inspector in
his way, and be keeps sharp eye on
vendors Of food and of medicines. 1t
is not an uncommon sight to see a Ger
man policeman halt milkman's wag
on and on the spot make an inspection
of his wares. Should there prove to
be anything wrong with them they
are promptly seized and destroyed and
the matter Is Immediately taken in
hand by the higher authorities.-New
York Press.

ILL TIMED APPLAUSE.
II Dfstracts the Players and Annoys
the Audience.

II Distraets the Players and Annoya
the Audience.
Applause. the strongest tonic to the
actor, sometimes annoys your true art
list. II it halts the action Of the play
too long or II it browns the sentence
just begun 1t is evaporation to the
judicious in the audience The bright
er the dialogue the more irritating Is
anything that distracts from It. 1t Is
the fashion ut our theaters, especially
on first nights, to greet each player
vociferously in such way as to mar
the pleasure of the performance, IL it
contains any.
Here is a practice from which the
thoughtless or the oyerenthusiastic
should forbear. 1t may take the mind
of the actor of his work In hand If he
is the object Of great deal Of APP
plause and may have the like effect
on some who do not receive any such
mark Of esteem when others are get
ting too generous share Of 1t.
There is plenty of time between acts
for this handclapping. which the play
ers can appreciate much better than
when they are taxing their memories
for the text of their parts and trying
to concentrate on their work. 1t is
not in good taste to approve with
mere noise a scene or situation when
the enjoyment of it by ones neighbor
may be heightened by the absence OF
such distraction. There is vast room
for the Improvement of general play
house manners. but inconsiderate and
proiniscuous appreciation of acting
while the story is lowing from the
stage is one of the chief drawbacks to
enjoyment of the drama Encourage
ment by managers to such custom In
the mistaken belief that it adds to the
general pleasure Of patrons is largely
responsible for its increasing bane..-
