Farm Demonstration Agent is
Making Good Progress in Work
Lee County Farmers Cooperating Cordially With the Agent 50 That
Good Results From the First Years Work
Seems Assured Already

Farmers Of Lee county are co-op-
Grating cordially with Farm
Demonstration Agent Kent, who
has gone into the work Of giving
the farmers Of the county a good
years service in general demon
stration work with an enthusiasm
that is winning him many friends
and much deserved interest and
praises throughout the county.
There has been some irregularity
lin the appointment Of the agents
here, which, it is hoped, have been
overcome permanently. It is Mr..
Kent's desire to lie in Lee county
promptly each day he is expected
in his office at the County Court
House. It has been impossible in
arranging the time between this
county and Terrell for Mr.. Kent to
avoid some delayed appointments
here. There willIbe no more OF
these, he hopes.
Practically all the farm demon
stration plots-whieh are to be Is
in number have been pledged by
farmers who are interested though
there are still Others who may
be accommodated until the num-
Der is exhausted, If application
is made early. This is an iinpor-
tant part Of the work, because it
brings the agent and the farmers
into closer cooperation with each
other. This is necessary to secure
the best result.
Mr.. Kent is endeavoring to Sc
cure the names Of every young far
mer in Lee county asa member of
the Boys Corn Club. A large num-
Der Of young farmers have already
enrolled, but it is hoped to have
this year the largest enrolment
ever known in thecounty.

this yeaI. Asa county and as a
town we must do things--do them
better. advance, move on:-or stag
nate. As a county have we done
our best? Have we done things
we'll? Can't we recall many mis-
takes, errors of honeet Judgment,
and profit by the lessons thus
learned?
The year 1913 has been one full
of portent and promise along lines
of, Industry and development. In
matters touching these interests We
have chased phantons so long that
we are prone to shy at a thing of
promise and look for 'spooks" and
apparitions. Tho county may well
forget these unpleasant things OF
the past and assume hopeful,
helpful attitude.
If the secular. so~ial, and moral
life be just about what the indlvid-
ual makes it, assuredly those who
are Jealous of the public welfare
want to see the comfy and town
grow larger and better along NOR
al, social, and industrial lines~-can
leave an impress if they will
The untried year is full of posi-
bilities along all these lines The
record we make ought to be a cred
liable one--one of advancement
and pragress. At its close we
ought to be richer, better. happier,
both as individuals and as a peo-
pie. There may be no goal in
sight, but we should ''press" to-
W .rd,it all the same. Will we do

Should Prevent
Christmas Colds.

Richmond, Va, Dec, 24th, 1918.
Precautions against exposure which
will result in bad colds that mar
the Christmas holidays were given
in a special bulletin of the State
Board of Health today.
Experiences bas SHOWN" the
circular reads, that during the
festivities incident to Christmas
many colds are contracted by care
les exposure and insufficient cloth
ing These colds ruin the holiday
: of those unfortunate enough to con-
tract them and, in some instances,
lead to serious complications.
"Cbristmas time is peculiarly
pane erous in this respect because
so many people, in their amuse-
ments, forget the precautions when
they would otherwise take. Far
eDts and children often rise early,
before the fires are made, to inspect
their presents and in their haste
fail to protect themselves by heavy
clothing. In the same way, while
fireworks are being displayed
Christmas night, parties are formed
which stand in the open air urtll
thes become thoroughly chilled
"The first rule to pr ven: Christ
mas colds is to be thoroughly pro-
tected by abundant clothing which
may be laid aside as the wearer
passes from the cold air into a warm
room. This rule with equal force
applies to every season of the year.
"Drafts and close rooms, how
ever, are even more responsible for
bronchial disorders. Fresh air is
necessary for health and comfort,
the more the better; this can gener-
ally be procured without exposure
to drafts. The healthy man is he
who opens all his windows at night
and sleep under abundant clothing
in that part of the room where he
will escape drafts. Where the
GOVERN G is insufficient, folds of
newspape s, placed between the
blank, is a d under the mattress,
will aid in keeping out the cold.
Above everything else, how
ever, care must be taken to prevent
the air in the room from becoming
close and foul. Where such condi-
tons exist, the bodily resistance is
| wered and tee body is exposed to
chills when one yasses into the open
ar. In every room there should be
some fresh air at all holrs.
eff this cannot be had without
daft, then the room should be
thrown open temporarily every few
hours. This is poor method of
ventilation, but it is better than
keeping the room sealed like
tomb.
"Colds are generally contracted
while one feely sensation of chill
ness. This fact enables a thought
full person to protect himself with
little care. A very good rule to
pursue is, as soon as onefeels chilly
to rise and move ones arms Wig
orously for a few minutes as though
swimming. This will improve the
circulation, warm the body and
may save one from a cold.
There is golden rule to be pur-
sued by those who have colds.
That is never sneeze or cough with

retrospective, interpretive, and
prospective. Fortunately, the fu
t re is yelled, and no thoughtful,
serious person would have it other
wise. The preacher told his con-
gregation last Sunday night that
we ought not to look lack except
to profit by our past experience
the lessons learned thereby. We
may have failed, been remiss along
many lines, but it is irremediable
now; the wrongs done by and to us
must stand: unkind words and acts
have probably done all the harm
they can do; the friends we have
wronged, the wounds inflicted in
our fits of passion may be recalled
to memory, but we may not make
amends. All that we can do the
best that VT can dds to forget

OF the past.
Tie idea of introspection S.

ment. This leads to the forming
Of the new year resolutions. We
do not believe in so much rid cule
and jest about the new. year resolu-
ton. They are in order at any
time, but the opening of a new
year is the logical time, and the
custom is a good one 1t is better
t. make and break them than not
to make them at all. They indi-
cate an inner, better self at work.
prompting to better things, and ev-
cry resolution of amendment, every
impulse for good, is proof that our
better nature is not dead, not even
asleep.
1t is almost inconceivable that
any thoughtful, intelligent person
ctn escape such promptings. The
new year is before us--an era, divi-
sion, distinct period in our lives
every day in the year representing
a pure. white leaf, unused, unsoil-
ed--not a blot or blur, not a word
written. What sort of record will
fill these pages? We must do the
writing, fill each page There will
be increased opportunities for good
and possibly for evil, too; there
will be many open doors and invit-
ing fields; the law restraints us only
as to the evil; there is no limit or
end to the good we may do.
Such thoughts come very natur'
ally to the individual mind and
touch that life, but they apply as
we'll to us as a town, a community,
i county. Men in public life, the
custodians of public interests, do
we'll to indulge such reflections be-
cause they make for the better
ment of industrial, social, and COM
mercial conditions. 1t Is a fast,
progressive age. The best we
could do last year will not suffice
