stricking instance. Five years ago
the question. Do you intend to stay
on the farm when you grow up?,
was put to 1874 boys in the rural
schoolsof Iowa an ideal agricultural
tate, and 157 of them answered,
mo" Then the corn clubs and
true agricultural education began to
get in their regenerating work. The
boys were influenced to form new
ideals Of farm life, After five years
of this educational work the same
question was put ia boys. and 1862
of them answered, Eyes. / intend
ia stay on the farm when I grow up.
This one thing is enough to warrant
more attention to this club work.
The national and state governments
see the need Of it, and are doing
everything in their power to encour-
age it. They know that the nation
can never prosper as long as its
agricultural interest is neglected.
and we hope that every true citizen
of the county will see it in this light
and something to help tue good
work along.

HERE'S ONE MAN WHO
APPRECIATES THE POWER
OF THE PRESS

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE pOlit-
clans can talk and keep on talking,
but if the cotton market holds up and
the farmer is saved from restitution
it will be due not to the statesman,
but to the newspapers" remarked a
prominent visitor to Atlanta today.
Already the 'Buy-a-Bale' movement,
the Hold Cotton and Cut Acreage,
campaigns are having a distinct enect
in steadying the market and restoring
confidence.
"And it is all due to the newspapers.
especially the small city dailies ana
the weeklies. The city papers help
some, too, and in fact the entire press
of the South. They have proved their
enterprise and their loyalty.
"And yet, every peanut politician
who has used the papers, or tried to,
to boost himself into Office, will con-
tinue to abuse the press and say it
ought to be curbed and is too sensa-
tional and can't be believed, and all
the rest of that familiar old rot. But
l notice every one of them is mighty
glad to have paper-even the small
est one say something nice about
him"

HOLD ON TO D0BBIN,
HE'S WORTH MORE NOW

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 1.-The Geor-
gia horse is now worth $131 a head,
according to James D. Price, Georgia
commissioner Of agriculture, while a
year ago heewas selling for 1923.
The latest census figures show that
12S,000 horses, valued at $16,768, 900
are on the farms of Georgia. -Four
years ago there were 10000 horses
on the same farms and their value was
given at $15,0OO,OOO.
The advance in price is rather A
paradox in view of the steady en-
croachment of the automobile. Every
year the motor truck is replacing more
and more draft horses. every year the
old buggy is retired in favor of mo-
tor car. More trucks and cars can
be seen on any city streets than hors Is
or mules-and yet the prices of both
animals keep going up. Probably the
increased acreage under cultivation
makes an increased demand for live
stock that keeps up the price.

purse in her apron pocket she will save

BURGLAR PAYS SWEET
PRICE FOR TWO HENS

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. Mrs. F. W.
Scbonburg, who lives out Highlanl
avenue, made deal in chickens this
week which makes the fancy prices
Obtained by noted breeders seem in
significant. And she didn't know
about it until it was all over.
In the hours just before dawn, Mrs.
Schonburg heard squawk from the
coop where two fine Orpingtons were
roosting. She shrieked for help
and then heard somebody going over
the fence. !.
At dawn she went out to investigate
and the chickens were gone. There
were tracks leading to the back fence,
and on the ground lay a pocketbook
with ninety dollars in currency in II,
which Mrs. Schonburg placed to the
credit of "2 Chickens at $45 each
$780,. The thief, who was unusually
we'll off for chicken hunter, had evi-
IDENTIFY dropped the money in his haste,
though he had held on to the chickens.
No, he has not come back to recover
his coin.

WAR TIME NEWSPAPER
PRINTED ON WALL PAPER

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. IAN Atlanta
printer this week exhibited a copy of
an old newspaper which was distinct
ly interesting. 1t was the Vickshurg
Daily Citizen of July q 1868, printed
on bright-colored wallpaper at the
time of the siege, when vicksburg cit
liens were living in bomb-proof caves.
The Naost interesting item is defiance
of the Yankees" under General Grant
to get into the city. And a foot note
is added to this which shows that
Grant did get in, that the newspaper
Office was seized and the item complet-
ed by some Northern printer with i
sense of humor, who stated that ha
was on the job and gave his opinion
of the Confederacy in terms which
certainly would not have passed the
editor of the day before.
The paper is proving of especial in
terest on account of the European
war, which is causing the moving and
suppression of many papers as victor
icrs armies capture cities in their ad-
vance.

} THE PROPOSAL
He had no intention at all to propose.
But the tender light of the stars was
The garden breathed with the scent OF
the rose,
And the night bird sang-and he lost
his head.
He knew that he wasn't in love with
her,
He liked them slender, and she was
stout;
But the spell of the night made his
pulses stir
And, ere he could stop them, Tia
words were out.
Then he groaned in a keen distress,
And the cold chills travelled along
his frame;
For he knew full we'll she you'd ans
wer EYES,"
And he held his breath till the ans
wer came.
But the word was NO." and he thrill
ed with bliss
Till he stopped to think she had
spurned his plea;
And ever since then-will you solve
me this?-
He has wanted but her and ardently.

THE UP.TO-DATE BRIDE.
(From Leslies's.)

She lives in Cincinnati and there are
several thousand of her. The superin-
tendent of schools there declares that
no girl leaves his "bride-preparatory
course without knowing how to do plain
cooking and laundry work, how to find
a leak in the water pipe, mend brok-
en- door-knob, give first aid" in surg
ical or poisoning case, do marketing,
darn stockings, set tables, sweep and
dust, and most important of all, how
to conserve and make the most of her
husbands income, thus preventing the
frightful waste which is said to be the
curse of the American household. This
surely sounds good" The model
housekeeper, long looked for, may be
found in Cincinnati at last.

You're Right in Style if Gouon is Cotton

The swish of silk no longer has

If we have cotton ball, as Northern

fact, little debutante, that you cannot
appear in regal silk and satin that
gives such an assured, grown-up-feel-

silk and satin are decidedly "passy."
Not only will the cotton frock salts
factorily answer the question. rs it

fnitely more Importance in the femin-

While quite stir is being made to
