Once praised in glowing terms,
For the moss grown well. as II befelL
Disseminated germs
The oaken bucket has gone its way.

But In that pail. so runs the tale,
Fell microbes used to hide
There's little romance left on earth,
As rimesters oft avow.
No more we sing OF the forest spring;
We boil our water now.

Despite the dry weather we have
been having in Chicago there has been
pretty generally throughout the city
an unusually plentiful and annoying
supply Of mosquitoes. In view Of the
fact that the little pests are most
numerous in wei drained localities
and where there are no ponds or pools
or stagnant surface water, the ques-
ton is "Where do the mosquitoes come
FRONT" The answer Is, "FTOm the
catch basins in the street." 1t has
been found that In dry weather there
are more mosquitoes In town or city
with severed streets than in the
country OF unseEered suburbs. Then
q little investigation disclosed the
further~fact that the water standing
in the street catch basins furnished
ideal breeding places for mosquitoes.
If catch basins be treated with kero-
sene, say . pint 70 each basin after
each rain, the mosquitoes win sOOn
disappear. This plan has been tried
in some cities and found to be effect

The idea of a sane and therefore
safe, Fourth of July has happily taken
the place Of the old idea that to prop
erly celebrate our Independence Day
we had to make as much ear-spEtting
noise as possible and incidentally kill
and main a lot of human beings. Of
course the boys viii miss the noise and
racket, but they win be better of for
all that. There viii be an absence of
hurts and injuries to life and limb
that viii more than compensate for
the loss of the enjoyment with the
deadly toy pistol, the giant fire crack
ers and all the other instruments of
danger and destruction with which we
used to make the "glorious fourth" a
day Of terror and torment rather than
one of sane, safe and joyous eelebra-
ton.

We have talked about q lot Of
things: of flies and summer heat, of
dirty milk and vacant lots and things
you should not eat. About fresh air
and outdoor life, of field and park and
wood, and many other things that we
believed would do you good. But
there's one thing yet we've left IN
said; and that's why we want to say,
be careful how you spend your time
on Independence Day. Yes, things
have changed since we were boys, for
then we thought to make a noise was,
in fact the only way to honor well
our Natal Day. So that was why with
bang and screech, with roar and shout
and fervid speech, we started out In
morning bright, and whooped her up
till, late at night, went to bed all tired
out, and nearly dead. But people now
have learned some sense; they dread
the noise and the big expense; and
wisely think the new way best to
make it a day Of peace and rest.

The best sort of e. c. is a snake.
For the first time in history. snakes
are on the payroll of Uncle Sam. MIR
Woods became annoyed by petty bor-
rowings from his tobacco jar. Sc. he
secured a small snake, panatella size,
and gave him long lease as the jar

clerks in the office had uttered freight

pleted corn and cotton fields. The sea-
son for planting fall oats Is propit-
icus and judging from flattering re-
ports brought DO Americas a bumpa-
crop will be planted now, and during
the month Of November.
Sumter county produced q crop Ok
quite a quarter million bushels OF oats
tits year and they came at time
when home raised grain was needed ir
making the cotton and corn crops. Few
counties in Georgia made crop ct
$50, 900 bushels oats, as did Sumter.
Many farmers here reported yields
of fifty to sixty bushels per acre. The
largest single crop, perhaps, was thai
on the Whittle farm, which was near
20, 900 bushels.
Farmers are displaying wisdom in
planting large oat crop now for use
next summer. Drouth in the west last
August ruined the hay and grain crops
and the yield there was very poor. In
consequence, hay and grain bought
from the west next summer, wherewita
to make cotton here in Georgia. viii
cost the farmers buying it fabulous

Every acre that can be spared for
grain should be planted now in oats.
