is RURAL LIFE
DECLINING?
PROF. T. l.. HARRIS OF THIS CITY
ANSWERS QUESTIONS TO THIS
EFFECT SENT OUT BY
OHIO AGRICULTRISTS

TO ascertain whether or not the
social and educational life of rural
communities is on the decline, the
Ohio Department OF Agriculture has
sent out a list OF questions 10 some
prominent educator in each state ana
enclosed the replies given in a bound
booked called Farm Echoes" which
ii is sending broadcast over the coun-
Try. Prof. +. l.. Harris OF this city
has sent in a lisr OF answers for
South Dakota. II would appear from
the entire list OF answers hat rural
social life is ON the decline. though
there are about as many answers one
way as the other. Two other writer's
from South Dakota differ somewhat
with the answers sent in by Prof.
Harris.
Praf. Harris answers declare there
are not so many Old fashioned coun-
try social gatherings as twenty-five
years ago. Among these he lists.
spelling schools, barn raisings, quilt
ing parties, round-ups, and neighbor-
hood hunts for Wild animals. He stat
es, however, that in most parts of the
state there has not been II decline in
rural social life. The other two writ
ers from this state declare that there
has. Prof. Harris declares that rural
schools are as strong in numbers and
effectiveness as they We're twenty-five
years ago. He makes the same state
ment in regard to rural churches. He
declares that the rural districts are
increasing in population and here
again his two contemporaries dis
agree with him. He states that the
rural free delivery. He states that the
rural social life. He declares that as
a rule. attendance of country pupils
TO town schools and higher education
tends TO incline young people away
from country life. All the replies
agree on this question.

NlTURE COMPANY'S NEW
HOME TO BE MONUMENT
TO THAT CONCERN

The new B%roadbent building is
rapidly nearing completion and every
effort possible is being made to hast

the faith in Mitchell's Importance as
a trade center, which has resulted in
so large and modern a retail store.
The building has a depth of 142
feet, is so feet wide and has three
floors and basement, giving a total
floor space of nearly 10000 square
feet. 1t Will be equipped with two
elevators and every modern conven-
fence which can possibly add to its
effectiveness as a great house-fur-

Its ample floor space vii make
possible the fitting OF model rooms

tention of Broadbent Brothers to
carry in stock every article necessary
for the complete Quitting of amy

elaborate mansion.

building in Mitchell and probably in
the state and viii be another feature

WOMAN'S HAT MADE zs.a.. ..
OF PINE NEEDLES

Savanna, Ga.-Among the remark
able exhibits at the State Fair at Tiff
ton is a wcmah's hat constructed of
pine needles. The hat is the handi-
work of a South Georgia minister's
wife.
Living in a sparcely settled COM
munity where funds are scarce she
was put to it to secure proper head
adornment. She purchased a spool of
thread at an outlay of 5 cents and
united the product of the pine trees
at her door soon had a hat that is a
marvel of beauty and the wonder of
all who have seen it.
The hat has taken first prize in the
woman's exhibit. Besides the thread
a small piece of ribbon is the only
article of intricsic value on it.

WAS COLUMBUS
ONLY A "PIKER?"
Lecturer SaysAmGriCa Known
Before He Was Born

Washington, D. c., Dec. THE dec
laration by w. H. Babcock, of the
Anthropological Society, that history
had improperly honored Christopher
Columbus as the discoverer of Amer
lea, and that this continent, or por-
lions of it, was shown on maps drawn
before the great discoverer was born,
has divided the society into two camps.
Mr.. Babcock started the controversy
in lecture before the organization.
The coasts of Florida and Cuba both
were known to the Portuguese, Ital-
ians and Spaniards, Mr.. Babcock as
serted, long before Columbus set out
on his voyage. He produced reproduc-
tons of maps dating as far back as
1414 to support his contentious. One
of the maps was a reproduction of
the work of Martin Behaim in 1892,
before Columbus returned from his
voyage of discovery, showing both
Cuba and Florida.

JUDGE PARKER IS
TO PRACTICE ALONE
Cuts Loose From Sheehan
and Hatch

New York, Nov. Cards have been
issued announcing that the law firm of
Parker, Hatch & Shsehan dissolved on
November 80 and that Judge Edward
W. Hatch and William F. Sheehan
would remain at their offices, Ia Wall
street, under the firm name of Hatch
& Sheehan, while Judge Alton B. Par
ker would engage in court and general
counsel work at Ill Broadway
1t was explained that Judge Parker
had intended for some time to engage
in general counsel work by himself,
but that the dissolution took place
earlier than had been expected. This
was because Judge Parker decided to
take the Office at Iii Broadway, of eX
Governor Frank S. Black, who is re-
firing from practice. Besides taking
the office, Judge Parker has purchased
the law library of Ex-Governor Black.

Change in Modern Life.

The old tradition that woman's work
was in the home, and only in the home,
is dying, and dying with swiftness;
slaughtered numerically by the mod
ern industrial system which has suck
ed away from the home all those in
dustries that once were carried on
there-the picking, the weaving, the
baking, the brewing, the spinning All
these were once home trades at which
women of almost all ranks earned
their daily bread; they may not, as
housewives, have been actually paid
for their toll in money-as a matter
of fact do not imagine that they oft
en- were--but they certainly earned
the keep, the board, lodging and al
lowance dealt out to them by the hus-
bands who were at the same time
their employers. 1t was their labor
which helped to make Of the average
home a sef-supporting institution, a
place of business as we'll as a place
h dwell in.--London Mail.

CHILDREN'S KIDNEYS
No Americas Mother Should Neglect
the Little Ones Health.

Oftentimes weak kidneys cause
great annoyance and embarrassment
to children. Inability to control the
kidney secretions, at night or while at
play, is attributed to carelessness and
too frequently the child is punished.
Parents having children troubled with
kidney weakness would do well TO
treat the kidneys with a tested and
proven kidney remedy. If there is pain
in the back, discelored urine, irreg-
ular urination, headaches, dizzy spells
or tired, WORKOUT feeling try Doans
Kidney Pills at once. A remedy that
has been used in kidney trouble for
over SO years and has been recon-
mended by thousands. Proof of merit
in an Americas citizens statement.
Mrs. Essie Query, 524 Lamar st i,
Americas, Ga, says: Our little daugh
ter complained a great deal of pain
and weakness through her back and
kidneys and about two months ago
when someone advised a trial of
Doan's Kidney Pills | began giving
this remedy to the child. 1t did her
great amount of good strengthening
her kidneys and helping her so much
that she is now an altogether different

WILL CHASE MACHINES
FOR GAMBLING AWAY
Crusade Is Spreading Over the Entire
State.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. THE crusade
which resulted in chasing the slot ma
chine gambling devices out of Atlanta
is reported to be spreading to other
communities of Georgia, and it is re-
ported to be spreading to other COM
munities of Georgia, and it is predict
ed that the devices may soon be bar
red from Georgia altogether. The
Lowndes county grand jury has the
matter already up, and and the grand
juries of half a dozen other counties
are preparing to consider it at their
next meeting.
The movement has nothing on earth
to do with such slot machines as you
drop penny or a nickel in for a
fairly stated equivalent in being
weighed, or seeing moving pictures, or
getting candy, or peanuts or the like
1t is directed at those machines in
which the element of chance enters,
and you pay nickel ostensibly for a
little piece of chewing gum worth less
than cent, but in reality in the hope
that by getting a lucky number you
will draw for your nickel ten or some
times twenty metal checks good for
five cents each in trade. In driving
the machines from Atlanta, the moot
question of whether they were tech
nically in violation of the gambling
law was not brought up at ALL Counsel
was successful in driving them out
simply under the general allegation
that they were fraud.
