OF enthusiastic praise for man EN-.

Better times prevail in Pike coun-
ty this year than has been exper-
fenced here for several years. Why?
Farmers are learning the lesson they
shonld have learned many, many
years ago. They are learning that
they can grow their foodstuff. cheap
er than anyone else can grow it for
them; that the place for the smoke
house and corn-crip is at home-nOt
in town; that peas, potatoes, pea
nuts, velvet beans. soy beans and the
like, is better and cheaper food for
their stock than that which they
can buy. In other words, Pike
county farmers are learning that
Diversification of crops Pay. and
pays handsomely.

their long unused CRATES, it is well
to impress them with the truth OF

most places are reporting fires.
MANY of these fires can be averted if
you will take the precaution to clean
out your fues, destroy the birds
nests and leaves in your cutters and

neys and roofs. it is well worth
your while and may be the means

Tells of Wild Ride over African Road

Tells of Wild Ride over African Road
London, "A member of the
British forces which have been en-
gagged in East Africa gives the follow
ing sprightly account of his expert
ences in letter home:
ION the Gazi road, thirty miles from
the German border: We are still all
safe here. Some days ago authentic
information came through from Nom
bassa that $50 German troops had in
vaded British East Africa, some sixty
miles from Mombassa, and at point
(Vanga) where there was only Captain
Rodwell and seven natives. Volun-
teers were called for to ride to Vanga,
and subsequently to patrol the road
"Now the road IS one of the vilest
paths possible to imagine. In one
place, some seven mil S in length, the
sand is from eight to nine inches in
thickness, in others the road has been
dug out at the side and thrown up in
the middle to varying height of eight
to ten feet, and only thirteen inches
wide. In other sections it winds
through eight or nine feet high ele-
plant grass, narrow, winding little
footpath, which one finds only through
the damage done to the grass blades
and stalks through negroes passing
through, then over swamps galore,
wading through small, Shiny streams,
reeking with malaria, through long
stretches of mud, which clods ones
boots and bicycle, and finally over
huge extents Give or six miles) of
mangrove swamps and wonderful Az
rican jungle, great ferns, cactus, creep.
ers and impenetrable rnrub.
"They bought the bike, gave it to
nae, and went through in the dead of
the night.
There were no maps pro IrAl :.
and the path had mere er less to be
guessed at twenty miles out in the
bush Whilst travelling fairly fast tn '
meteor bike fell into hole, which 1t
was impossible in the darkness tc see.
The new moon only lasted about two
hours, and had sunk below the herizon
long before. The bike flew one way

laughed Dick. There's some speed

"How do you like Mrs. Ellison ?" he
asked as they prepared for bed.
"Not as we'll as the doctor; he is a
treasure in place like this"
"1es," answered Dick, "he was the

Mrs. Ellison, but soon gave it up. A

feet of her remarks on Dick, as she
looked in the glass.

Nell. "How is one to get along with
you if you can't endure what you
are used to or what is new in your
experience. Kindly give me your
definition of gossip; it may serve as
a lamp to my feet. Is any news
about our neighbors gossip?"
"Well, I'd hardly go so far as to
say that" he demurred, "but any
catty remarks like the one you were
guilty of come under that head. Any
thing that would promote friendly
interest and cordial relations is not
gossip"

haven't liked her from the first, have
you? It's too bad; you are missing

Nell did not reply; she was rapidly
rolling her hair into curriers'.
81 wish you'd invite her here to
supper and to get acquainted. You
know what it is to be a stranger in
the place and you have had your
home; she has had only boarding

"When would you like her to

him in the glass.
"Any time it's convenient. l want
you to be friendly. She feels that
you don't like her."
"Did she say 500" Nell wheeled
around and faced him.
why, yes!" admitted Dick.
"How did you happen to be discuss

ed Nell.
"We weren't discussing you. She
said she didn't believe you liked her
and l told her she was mistaken.
That's why l wanted YOU to invite
