Simple pulleys for a clothes line
Take large spools and put them up with
big spikes, leaving them loose enough
to turn. Wind your line over these in
stead of nails and the line will not
break nearly so quickly, as the line
rolls over the spools and there is no
wear even in strong wind.
Carbolic acid is an excellent cheap
disinfeetant. A solution of it should be
poured down all sinks and drains once
every week or fortnight during hot
weather. To make this solution allow
10 ounces of liquid carbolic to three gal
Ions of cold water. Use about half
pint for each pipe, and bottle the re-
mainder for use as required. Label each

Use THE UNIVERSITY

President Alderman Of the University of Vlr-
glnia is doing well In urging the people Of
Virginia more general use OF the advantages OF
their State university. We do not know OF
any feeling in the State that the University Is
meddling in the pubc's business, but If there
such feeling II should be promptly and eff
fcctuav aliayed. The best means or doing
tHis is by greater extension Of the work Of edu-
cation so that all may see the folly Of opposing
ndesvors that are intended only for the de-
yelopment OF the whole State.

WHAT THE FARMERS UNION
CAN DO.

Just at this moment the Marion
County Farmers Union can be OF great
service in the Dixie Highway move
ment, one which means great deal
to them in one way and another,
good road, more markets, and patron
age of autoists one way and another,
all of which help the farmer as much
as anybody else.
At the meeting at Kimball Satnr-
day speaker suggested that the diff
erent locals Of the county vote to do
nate one or two days a month on the
route il il passes thru the county. no
matter where, aud he showed that by
so doing the Farmers Union could
give big boost to the project There
are 400 to 500 male members OF the
Farmers Union in this county. If
as many as $50 of them met two days
Of each month on a piece Of road, or
If they did not care to work, paid for
someone else to take their place, the
result would be marvellous. 1t would
mean five hundred days work per
month, or six thousand days work per
year. These days could be made pic
mic days, the big wagons hitched up
and the big baskets filed with good
grub and the whole affair made a gala
day, for It would really be that, ga
la day for good roads
The Farmers Union is instituted
for number OF good purposes, and
the furtherance Of good roads is one Of
them. so we understand, and to that
end we suggest that the locals Of the
county at their meetings held this
week, appoint committee of three a,
Good Roads Committee with author
ity to offer the services of the local tc
the county court, which will meet
Monday next to arrive at definite
proposition regarding the securing Of
the Dixie Highway through this coun
ty. These committees should make
their offer thru the Business Agent Of
the Union. Mr.. Louis Harris.
A movement Of this kind by thu
people is simrly a movement to head
of increased taxes. The Dixie High
way must come thru this county. III
