4 GRAND JURY THAT is DILIGENT

Citizens of Sumter county should re-
joice to know that in the grand jury
that is now serving the people of th5
county they have a set of men who are
active and fearless in the discharge O:
their duty. The grand jury has made
known its temper and spirit by the
manner in which it has laid bare some
fostering sores in the life of this COM
munity.
These things have existed here for d
long time, it would seem, as no one
claims that they have merely been met
with Immediately after they commence
ed to exist, if forsooth they have ex-
listed at ALL which is a matter subject
to legal proof when the matter comes
to its ultimate analysis. But they
have been met and actively grapplad
with by the grand jury, which is the
matter for main consideration.
If the laws against gambling are 70
be enforced, the grand jury may prove
a valuable and potent factor in sucn
enforcement of the laws. If the laws
against the sale of whiskey and the
keeping OF whiskey in places where it
may be sold are to be enforced, it is
the duty of the grand jury to a very
large extent to bring about such ell
forcement.
This grand jury has evidently seen
its duty in the light of serious, sober
and law-abiding men 1t has been no
of persons in it's work. No
really just work can be done other
wise, by the way, so that this grand
jury has been logical in its investiga-
tons and fearless in its conclusions
That the results should be helpful for
Sumter county is a logical inference.
There can be no other outcome if the
people of the county reap from these
the practical results
which they should bear.

THE CENTER OF THE UNITED
STATES
lKansas City starr

The exact geographical center OF
the United States has been the source
of much municipal heartburning III
Western Kansas for many years Fort
Riley has claimed the spot more Wig
orously than most places, but dozen
or more farms, hamlets and towns
have disputed the claim.
But they were all wrong. The ma
tons pivot is located on farm ten
miles north of Smith Center, and the
man who owns the land never suspect
ed it. Neither did the tenant who tills
the land. When the good news was
broken TO them last week they could
hardly believe it and once they were
convinced didn't seem to appreciate it.
Wyman Grifing was tinkering away
at broken lister when a stranger APP
preached him with the information.
We'll, I'll be durned,' was Wyman' 5

| know he didn't or he would have

help me any to have it here on the
farm unless there's a reward out for
it."
So saying Mr. Griffing continued his
tinkering and dismissed the subject
from his mind.
The location of the place was made
through the assistance of the bureau
of the census of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. In a recent let
ter the following was written:
In the census bulletin on the center
of population it is noted that the geo.
graphical center is located ten miles
north of Smith Center, the county
seat of Smith county, Kansas, ap-
proximate latitude SO degrees, So min

WHEN Is 4 WOMAN MOST BEAUTI-
Full!

At what age is woman most beau
tiful?" has been the subject of a some
hat spirited discussion in Partisan ART
circles. NJ Ferdinand Humbert, the
head of the School of Fine Arts, owns
to two ideals. AS an artist his favor
tie feminine type is between the ages
of 10 and 25-the time of radiant
youth" AS a mere man, he considers
that women of from 20 to 50 years old
are the most fascinating and charming
The veteran painter, Harpignles, is
not so generous, for he sets the time
of beauty at from 16 to 20 years-the
age of youthful simplicity unmarried
by the cares and anXieties which years
bring in their train. NJ. Gabriel Fer
rier, on the other hand, accords beauty
a lengthy reign. He considers the
woman of to-day is beautiful from the
age of % to so, for she has become
mistress of the art of how to make the
best of herself with the help of skillful
dressmakers and modistes.
NJ. Barthalome, the famous sculptor
of the beautiful Parthenon statutes,
sets the time of beauty at between the
ages of IS and %, but with the reser-
walton that there is no true beauty
without goodness and that beauty OF
face and form without beauty of soul
has no appeal to him.
Jean Boucher, another famous sculp-
tor, says that woman is at her best be-
tween the ages of Is and 80, though
from youth to old age she is adorable.
What would appear to be the most
comforting opinion of all, however,
from the point of view Of the fair sex,
is that expressed by the famous por-
trait painter, Francois Flameing. "a
woman's greatest beauty may dawn at
any time between the ages of 10 and
So" he says. Let every man form his
own opinion, according to individual
taste, as to which of these years wo-
man is at her best"

METHUSELAH A YOUNGSTER
Chicago Tribune.)

How old was Methuselah? Nine hum
bred and siXty-one years is the age
which, from our earliest qouth, we
have been accustomed to assign the
patriarch Scientific research abroad,
however, has reduced these imposing
figures to rs ga years.
The experts point out that there
has always existed a certain amount
of doubt, even among orthodox BELIZE
ers, in the literal truth of the Bible
concerning the great age to which. the
patriarchs attained. Many theories
J have been evolved to reduce the bibl'-
cal records of this kind to something
near the allotted span of man.
1t has been surmised that, in the
earliest times, the monther-the period
of a moon sycle-was called year.
Thus. Adams $50 years of life, calcu-
lating year at 20 IL days, the length
of a lunar month year there would ap-
pear to have come a five month year,
the limit of five being derived from the
fingers on the hand, it being remem-
bered that primitive peoples always us
ed the fingers for purposes of calcula-
ton. Then came the 12-month year.
Ground for this Encouragement is
alleged to be given in the psalmist's
limit of life of three-score and ten
years. Furthermore, it is maintained
that, between the times of Noah and
of David, no such extraordinary
change could have taken place as to
reduce the life of a man by eleven
twelfths tlo fve-month-year ba-
sis AbraAams 175 years shrink to Y
and Isaacs $50 to IA.
1t may be, it is pointed out, that
there INTERVIEWED a siXmonth yea:
discovered by Jacob, while watching
Labans focks, Thus Jacobs 147 years
work out at about %. The 12-month
year began with the Egyptians, who
saw that a complete period was made
up of the two years" in one of when
the days were longer than the nights
and in the other of which the nights
were longer than the days.
1t is a curious fact that the Chris
tian and the Jewish years will not for
ever be separated, for, in due course
of time, Rosh Hashona will fall at
Christmas time and then catch up the
Christian year This however, will
not occur for 10000 years.

BILE and gold Library of Congress. I'm
Gle Sans official heradlist is Gaillard
Hunt, and he is one of the best heral-
dists extant. He has an international
reputation as a historian, and has
written lots of books on all kinds Of
historical subjects that students Of
history buy when they want to finG
out just how some important historical
event followed.
Whenever the government wants !
new seal for one of the bureaus or for
some new territorial possession an o.
fetal calls Hunt up over the telephone
and tells him it's a rush job. Where
upon Hunt buckles right down to work
and turns out a newfangled seal that
everybody gazes at admiringly, ana
tells about its history and how it hap
pened to be that way,
| The coat-of-arms of Porto Rico was
designed by Mr.. Hunt. He also de-
signed the coat-of-arms of the Philip
| pine Islands Again, he is the one who
designed the seal of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, said by eX-
iperts to be at once the most simple
and most symbolically striking of all
those used by the government. And
finally, it was he who designed the
gorgeous combined seal and coat-of-
arms of the new Panama canal zone.
All of which goes to show that he
earns his salary.
Besides the seals mentioned Mr..
Hunt has designed innumerable other
seals during his twenty-five years de-
votion to this subject. And he has
spent a great part of these twenty-five
years prosecuting search for the
great seal of the Confederacy, which
disappeared during the siege of Rich
mond Only short time ago the
search ended and the great seal now
is one of the most priced possessions
, of the Confederate museum at Rich
mond
Mr. Hunt has devoted forty years to
study of his work. A few years ago
Uncle Sam detailed him to write an
article about the great seal of the
United States. When his article was
finished people who read it knew
whole lot more about the seal than
anyone had before He found all kinds
of interesting sidelights on it and put
them into his article.

WHY NOT you?

The Editor of the Cotton

Dallas, Texas, states in his
paper that he knows of a
farmer who sold ten bales
of certified cotton to the
Southern States Cotton Cor
pOratiOn when cotton was
l2C. He received $45 cash
per bale and $50 in script.
He was offered 75c on the
dollar for his script, took it
and thus received $3.50 per
bale for his cotton, or 81 so
per bale more than the mar
ket price less 81 per bale for
certification, or a net profit
over his neighbors who
sold by the old system of
$65.OO. We wish to say
that no one connected with
the corporation is permitted
to dis count script at any
time. What those who hold
scrip wish to do with it is
a matter entirely beyond
the control of the corpora

ISN'T IT SENSIBLE?

Isn't it sensible for girls to be
taught domestic science in schoo
That is a question that South Georgia
schools are beginning to answer in
the affirmative, and there should be i
better day coming for the schools OF
this section of the state and for their
patrons, who are to be benefited in
most practical way, as the Savannah
News points out in the following sane
editorial:
Opposition to the teaching of DOME
tic science in the public schools seems
to be growing weaker the country ov-
er. The argument that cooking arts
should be taught the girls by their
mothers leaving the school hours free
TO be devoted to reading writing and
arithmetic, has lost much of its force.
School after school has established a
domestic science course and the
schools t5at have done away with it
after once putting it into operation
have been very few As a matter OF
fact there is a growing desire to have
the schools fit the boys and girls fo1
the duties that will devolve upon then
in very short time after school days
! end. The time between graduation day
and wedding Gay is usually bat a veTy
few years.
If the schools can teach the boys
how TO make a better living than the,
could make without the training of tt.
schools and if they can make the girl.
better qualified to take charge O
homes than they would otherwise b.
haven't they really served the grea
purpose of their existence? Every
body will agree that the schools ar,
intended to fit boys and girls fol
duties that will be theirs when they
grow up What, duties will they hav,
that are greater than those, for tht
boy, of making a living, and for ht
girl, of knowing how to take charg'
of home? If the schools can MAKE
happier homes they will jutify the ex.
penditure of the millions of dollar!
that are paid out for their maintenance
every year
1t is a good omen for the future thar
domestic science departments are be.
ing established in many of the rura
schools in Georgia. They should b.
established in the schools in all thu
cities as well, for surely the city CIR
needs domestic science training fully
as much as, if not more than the cir
in the rural district. The Ben Hill
county board of education has decided
that every school in its jurisdiction
,shsll have a department of domestic
