nicated with and asked to cooper
ate. So far the Central has been the
prime mover in the several under
takings for the improvement of ag-
ricultural conditions in Georgia, and
the state college and the roads agri-
culturists are cooperating on every
occasion when their united efforts
will accomplish better results.
Exhibits VIII Be Novel.
Five of the itinerant schools will
be conducted at towns along the
Central. Each of the schools viii
last four days. They will be well
advertised in the various sections
and no difficulty is expected to be
experienced in getting the people to
attend the schools. The exhibits
will be novel and interesting and
the lecturers will talk on subjects
close to the heart of every ambitious
farmer. That the schools will do
much tos further scientific farming in
Georgia is certain.
Special attention will be given at
the schools to modern dairying
methods. The lecturers will carry
the necessary apparatus to demon
strate up-tO-date and sanitary dairy
ing in every phase and the dairying
industry in the state is sure to be
improved by the schools. Another
farming work that will be taken up
will be the planting of spring fruit
trees. The farmers will be shown
interesting demonstrations of graft
ing, budding, care of young trees,
etc. Besides these special subjects
the lecturers will go into general
farming topics.
Places Have hsen Selected.
Following are the places at which
the schools will be conducted, with
the dates they will start: Washing
ton, Jan. Is; Eatonton, Jan. II;
Jan. %; Carrollton, Jan
"a; GAINESVILLE, Jan. 20; Perry, Jan.

Feb. ri; Rochelle, Feb. 20; Jackson,
Feb 28; Fayetteville, March 4
Dalton, March 6; Ellijay, March IL;
March 10.
Only about half of the lecturers
will remain at a school, the plan be-
ing for them to overlap, one squad
going to the next town on the list
and the other squad remaining one
town behind. In this manner the
schools can start two days apart.

WILL RAISE EGYPTIAN COTTON

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
that the raising of Egyptian cotton

the farmers of the southwestern
United States is made by the depart
ment Of agriculture. This recon-
mendatiOn has come after long in
vestigatiOn, experiments having been
carried on during the last few years
under the supervision of the agri-
cultural department to test the pos
sibilities of growing Egyptian cotton
in southern Arizona and southeast
ern California
While it is fully believed" said
DR.. Galloway, chief of the bureau
Of plant industry, that Egyptian
cotton can be made a profitable crop
in the irrigated Southwest it is
strongly urged that prospective
growers do not put in a very large
acreage the first season, because the
crop has certain cultural peculfari-
ties that are best learned by expert
ence and also because the difficulty
OF employing the necessary labor for
picking is likely to be underestimate
ed by inexperienced growers -

There will be six or eight trained
agriculturists to conduct the schools
and give lectures on the agricultural
subjects that are to be discussed.
The Central of Georgia railway has
placed a baggage car at the disposal
of the college authorities and con-

 Women" she said recently, think they lower their prestige by wearing a gown for more than one season, no matter how many they have. Many feel that if they wear in the summer hats bought in the spring they are committing 8 social crime. That is unreasonable, and women should come to understand they are committing a crime by their extravaganza, and they should show their real American inde- pendence by wearing their gowns and hats as long as they look neat.

 This was one of the questions asked in girls school. not a hundred miles away from the city limits, in an ex- animation in one of the new fangled subjects recently adopted by colleges. Most of the young ladies admit that they "got theirs" on the question. One young lady, however, who refused to Hay down" to the question answered it in the following language:
 "A laugh is peculiar eentortion of the human countenance. voluntary or involuntary, superinduced by a con centration of the external circum- stances, seen or heard, of ridiculous. ludicrous, jocose. mirthful, funny or fanciful nature and accompanied by a cackle, chuckle, chortle. cachina- tion, giggle. guffaw or roar"

PENROSE AS A HUMORIST.

A millionaire member of the house from Pennsylvania gave very elab- crate dinner and asked Senator Pen rose to announce to the assembled guests that carriages had been ordered to take everyone home after the din ner
 Penrose made the announcement with his usual calm solemnity and add ed, as though this, too, were a sugges- tion from the host. For those who are unable to use carriages, ambu- lances will be summoned"
 What made this appear particularly funny was that apparently Penrose was merely making a statement he thought the circumstances warranted He knew some of the more reckless would drink too much and that in all probability they would be more in need of ambulances than carriages by the time they were ready to go home.
 Upon another occasion he was tell ing about state convention. Only one man. he said. had compelled the organization to pay out any money on his personal account. This man had declared himself in this manner:
 "Penrose, either my expenses to this convention will be paid or l will vote according to the dictates of my con science"
 If Penrose thought this was funny story. he made no betrayal of the fact.-Metropolitan.
