JONES WANTED
UPON CHARGES
ABOUT ALLAN IA
FORMER AMERICUS MAN BEING
DETAINED THERE.

Police Chief Olin Johnson is in re-
ceipt of letter from the Atlanta po-
lice authorities asking detailed infor-
nation regarding the young man,
Jones, formerly employed an Amer
icus hardware store and subsequently
arrested upon a burglary charge, fol-
lowing the breaking in of the same
store and theft of several fine guns
therefrom. Young Jones was reared
in Sumter county, the letter from the
Atlanta police department states, and
managed in some manner to escape
severe punishment here upon the bur-
glary charge some two or three years
ago. From the letter received by Chief
Johnson the young man is in trouble
in Atlanta, and his record here is de-
sired by the department there, prior
to his trial on Saturday next.

Life has many yesterdays. but many,
many more tomorrows. Face forward!
THE SMITH.LEVER LAW

No pump, no pipes, no faucets.
That's the way things still are on nine
farms out of ten throughout certain
while stretches of American country
side. The Woman with the Pals is
the waterworks system. Slowly, wear
lily, from we'll curb to kitchen floor,
from floor to stove, from stove to
bench, from bench back into the yard,
she lifts and carries the water supply;
and on "wash-day," said an engineer
in the United States department of la
Dor, l would calculate that she lifts
holt ton of it. By hand! In an age
OF machinery! He turned to me with
eyes which had changed from those of
the engineer to those of the mission
airy. ut isn't only water. IT'S hun
dred other things, too. A hundred
other drudgerleS which keep millions
of farm women doing round and
round in the same spot, instead of 60
ing forward. They should be making
more livable farms. These drudgeries
of the women are keeping the men
back. They are keeping all agricul-
ture back. And they could all of
them be lightened, and many of them
removed by just little demonstration
of better methods" Demonstration!
That's the world 1t will shape and
color all the use of the money to oe
spent under the new Smith-Lever law.
And that law may yet turn out to be
the largest single event in the history
of the education of women. Look at
the size, the money bulk of it. 1t will
give the one state of Pennsylvania
more than a quarter of million dol
lars every year out of the treasury OF
the government at Washington. 1t

more than four millions of dollars ev-
cry year. The states must come for
ward then with four millions of their
own. So when the .SmithLever law
is in full operation there will be eight
and half millions of dollars every
year-for what? For agriculture,
says the law and for Home Econom-
ics." Every last cent of it must flow
out into the country for "demonstra-
ton work" lit is the biggest single
appropriation ever made anywhere 10
the world for education of adults. Ii
is to teach people how to make better
farms and how to make better homes
Is it too much to hope that these

In the sure faith that we shall rise

AT the great harvest, when the arch

Shall winnow, like a fan the chaff

Then shall the good stand, in immor-

In the fair gardens of that second

And each bright blossom mingle its

With that of flowers, which never
bloomed on earth.
With thy rude ploughshare Death,

This is the place where human har-

! Gently announced in London. Miss

RECOMMENDS ONE CENT
LOCAL POSTAGE RATE
Representative Rodenberg Considers
Time Now Ripe for Legislation
for Cheaper Delivery.

Legislation creating one cent postage
on local delivery letters should be
adopted in the forthcoming session Of
Congress-. said Representative William
A. Rodenberg. who was returned to
Congress last fall by the republicans of
the East st. Louis district.
While in Washington today Mr.. Ro-
denberg said, that the time is oppor-
tune for the consideration by Congress
of such legislation that will give the
American people cheaper letter
postage. The time is hardly ripe for
the government to go the limit and
give the people general one-cent letter
postage. yet l believe that conditions
are such that Congress would be justi-
fled in passing legislation reducing the
rate of postage on local delivery let
tiers.
Il feel confident" said Mr. Roden-
berg. that such legislation would
greatly stimulate local business, and
at the same time not cause any material
falling off in the postal revenues, as the
volume of letters handled would be
more than doubled at the very begin
ming. Every user of the mails, from
the smallest to the largest would be
greatly benefited should there be such
a reduction in the rate of postage A
merchant would naturally feel that the
postal service was a greater medium
for developing new business"
