well that ends well, and thus it was
with the "Old Maids Club" that
was opened to the visitors at the ap-
pointed hour last Friday evening in
the auditorium of Cedar Swamp
school building. The ladies inter-
ested, with the willing assistance
of some of our obliging young men
who who thoughtfully offered their
services in arranging and helping to
decorate the stage with red berry
holly and other attractive ever
greens, succeeded in producing a
very pretty and appropriate stage
.setting for the entertainment. When
the curtain was drawn the specta-

our charming young ladies attired
as old maids organized for the ex-
plicit purpose of capturing man.
The personnel of the club was as
follows: Misses Muriel Chandler,
Hessie Mccullough, Fowler Tisdale,
Erwin Mccullough, Beth McGill,
Blanche Tisdale, Dolores Mcneil,
Ouida McCrea, Sue Mcneil, Alma
Duke and Lector Parnell The for
tunate young men who were per-
mitted to be on the stage with the
"Old Maids" were: Messrs Will Nc
Cullough and Wake Coker, both of
whom acted their roles very credit
ably. The affair was comic en-
tertainment, causing much laughter
and applause. One of the amusing
features was the secretary's reading
an itemized expense account, it be-
ing noted that face powders and
matrimonial journals were the larg-
est expense, where upon Mr. Coker
addressed the president of the club,
stating that he wished to call their
attention to an interesting item in
The County Record, taking paper
from his pocket and reading the fol-
lowing extract (the parties concern

marriage was direct result of ad-

it pays to advertise in the paper even
for a wife. The Record proposes to
start a matrimonial bureau" Then
came the rush to get N ads. The

COMES HERE ON HUNT
FOR HEALTHY BEANS
Southern Michigan Crops Aztec,
ted Again This Year,

East Lansing, Mich, Aug. 3O.-Rrof.
A. R. Potts OF the farm crops depart
ment has gone to Western Michigan in
search OF bean seed that is free from
anthraenose which is vegetable
disease that is running the bean crop vol
southern Michigan.
This disease has existed in the state
for many years and each year it has be-
come more severe and this year it is
causing very heavy loss. In fact the
damage to the growing crop is SO great
that many fields of beans will not be
harvested. The disease has some of the
characteristics of the blight II is very
contagious and is carried from plant to
plant by the wind and by the nipple.
ments used in cultivating. Prof Potts
recently inspected So fields in the GEN.
trail part of the state and found indica-
tons of the disease in nearly all. In
some cases the damage was great
During the past years Michigan beans
have been in demand by the farmers of
the southern states for seed, but now,
that the plants have become diseased,
the southern farmers are looking else
where, and the Michigan bean, which
has brought the top price in the market
in the past is in danger of losing its po-
sition. Prof. Potts feels sure, however
that in the northern and western part
of the state he can find fields that are
ss yet free from the disease and by get
ting the seed from these fields and talk
ing it to southern Michigan and having
the farmers start anew, he believes
that the disease can be stamped out.
Last year the Michigan bean brought
about 1925 but this year it will be
somewhat lower in price because of
the quality of old beans now in the
hands of the farmers and the dealers
and because the anthrancose is curtail-
ing the demand for Michigan beans,
AS yet no spraying solution has been
discovered that will adequately control
anthrancose although the college ex-
perts are at work upon the problem.
The men are not positive as to whether
the disease carries over the winter in
the ground or only on the seed, They
hope to know soon.
