To help Negro boys become practical
farmers and to assist Negro girls In
becoming competent housewives the
United States department of agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the state
colleges, is organizing throughout the
South Farm Makers club for rural
Negro children.
This activity, begun experimentally
last year by the Office of extension
work, South, has grown rapidly and
already is thoroughly organized in yir-
ginia, North Carolina. Florida and Mis-
sssippi. The work also is being car
ried on to some extent in each of the
other southern states.
The chief object of these clubs Is
to encourage Negro farmers, particu-
larly in the cotton sections, to raise
some food instead of devoting their
entire attention to single crop.
In the clubs for boys the typical
plan is to encourage and help the
members to use an acre. one-half Of
which is devoted 10 corn. one-fourth
10 potatoes and one-fourth to peanuts.
This teaches desirable rotation and
at the same time furnishes three food
products for human consumption. and
two that are useful for cattle or hogs.

 Mir. Branson had formerly been sec ton superintendent, but had grown too old to work except around the lit tie home plat. He had put in crops of early vegetables for which there was a good cash demand at Brocton, mile down the line beyond the north end of the cut. A battered up light handcar had been dumped in the ditch and left there when the old line was abandoned. He had got it righted, and with Katy's help, too. He had patched it up and, To and behold! a new order of traffic, for Katy learned to man it. Every day she loaded. it with the baskets of kitchen produce and ran it the three miles to the end of the rails. There were always half dozen Brocton boys on hand at the terminus, ready and willing to carry the baskets to the town stores where Katy disposed of their contents.
 Then one afternoon her faithful or faithless-cohorts, as the case might be, disappointed her, enticed away by a ball game. That mile down the hot graveled roadbed of the main line looked an arduous ad- venture to Katy, for her two baskets were big, well laden and heavy. A well-mannered young fellow saunter- ing by discerned her plight. He in sisted on becoming her knight cheva- Her. That was the beginning of her acquaintance with Bruce Danvers.
 He had been frank and open with her as to his prospects. ''They de pend upon my father just now," he told Katy, but I can start out to earn my living independently if he ob- jectS to our engagement"
 Do nothing rash, dear," pleaded Katy, almost piteously, though, and he smiled at her fears and looked the valiant whole-souled fellow he was, and she trusted him, and hoped every thing would come out just as he pre- dicted.
 Then a fateful day came to Katy. She had not seen Bruce Danvers for week, nor had she received a line from him. That did not worry her, for she never doubted his fidelity. It made her feel surely lonely, however. Everything went at odds that day, it seemed. She had to carry the baskets to Brocton, she was delayed in get ting rid of her produce. There was mother long wait in settling with a fractious merchant. It was dusk quite Rs she neared the entrance to the cut.

Picardy Names.

Whence come the names of the Picardy villages, strange even in France, on the ground now being fought over by French and Germans: Among the names of places mentioned are Bray, which is of Celtic origin and signifies swamp or morass. Fay is from the Latin "fagus," meaning a beech tree. Hem is home or -habita. tion. Estrees is from the Latin "stran- ta,' meaning route. Fins is from "finis," signffying the limits. Comhles means wales or valleys. The ternina- tion "oy'' is applied to a plantation QuesnOy, Tilloy, Autnoy, Rosoy. The name of "Bois des Trones'' is simply 'the wood of the thrones" The name of the city of Albert was formerly the same as the name of the stream, Ancre It was changed when the lordship passed to the house of Albert de Lyme of the family Alberti, originally of Florence. Peronne, noted because of the captivity of King Louis XI at that place, was for a long time called La Pucelle, "the Maiden"

Reputed "Holy Man" of Japan Sub- sists on Laurel Leaves and Few
 Raw Potatoes Daily.

A hermit who has set up his private shrine by the wayside calls himself the incarnation of Fudosama, the god of fire. This mysterious man makes his abode in a little coop near the botanical gardens, paying a monthly rental of 1925. On the plaster just below the paper window is written:
 "The worshiping place of the wood eating hermit"
 Day and night one can see the flare of fire on the paper window and a low voice can be heard, says the East and West News. Every pasSer feels a queer sensation as he goes by. The visitor knocked at the dismal-looking entrance. The one who came to an- swer was the mysterious man. He looked to be about fifty-five and in his brawny and reflective features he showed a magnetic smile.
 It seems he began his pious life by scorching his body with a lighted candle to save the life of his sick child. He lasted 21 days and prac- ticed water meditation. The child re- covered. His faith grew stronger. For 30 years past he has touched no rice or other cereal. Before the visitor he chewed some laurel leaves. Fifty of these, five raw potatoes, little salt and water, were his daily fare. He is Said to effect miraculous cures.

German Idea That Makes Their Trenches Only Little Way From
 Being impregnabIe.

In the Atlantic Nfonthlv. Mir. Edward Morlae describes very clever i'm provement the Germans have made in their barbed-wire defenses. The wires are usually fastened to wooden posts, of course, but the Germans have found a better support for them. He writes:
 After we had taken the German trench, our men set to work to remodel it. shifting the parapet to the other side, building little outpost trenches and setting barbed wire. The latter job was done in a wonderfully short time, thanks to German thOroughness. For the wooden stakes to which the wire is tied they had substituted soft iron rods, three-quarters of an inch thick, twisted five times in the shape of a great corkscrew. This screw twist ed into the ground exactly like a cork puller into a cork. The straight part of the rod, being twisted upon itself down and up again every ten inches. formed six or seven small loops in a height of about five feet. Into these eyes the barbed wire was laid and solidly secured with short lengths Of tying wire.
 First cutting the tying wire, we lift ed the barbed wire out of the eyes, showed small stick through one, and, turning the rod with the leverage of the stick, usncrewed it out of the ground, and then, reversing the proc ess, screwed it in again. The advan- tage of this rod is obvious. When a shell falls in the midst of this wire protection, the rods are bent and twist ed, but unless broken off short they always support the wire, and even after a severe bombardment present a serious obstacle to the assaulters. In such case wooden posts are blown to smithereens by the shells, and when broken off they let the wire fall flat to the ground"

You Can't Help Your Badness.

According to Miss Dorothy Osborn of the Ohio State university, badness in men is inherited just as much as horns in sheep.
 Badness in women is more ire quent than is generally known, she declares, because women can con- ceal their badness much more easily than men," She finds that a woman is bald only when she inherits it from both parents. If one of her parents was bald, however, she may transmit badness to One-half her sons. If a mother is bald, her sons will be bald, no matter whether the father is or not Her daughters will not be bald unless the father was bald also.

 Katy did! Katy did! Katy did '"
 Katy blushed. She hurried her steps, actually embarrassed. What Katy did, she alone and Bruce Danvers knew, yet she f1uttered when she recalled it all, and just now because she was passing the very spot where week previous young Danvers had told her he loved her and asked her to return his kiss-and Katy did.
 And now from the trees came the remindful hilarious chorus of the merry insects, as though they had seen world.
 Father says that Bruce is not our kind," soliloquized Katy Branson. "That is true, for his father is pres ident of the road. But Bruce-Mr. Danvers said that even the best fa- ther in the world should not stand be- tween him and the girl he loved best. Oh, I hope he meant it-I must be- lieve that, or ir would break my heart! '"
 Then Katy ripped home to her du- ties. They were humble ones, yet she graced them. Old MT. Branson and his wife and daughter lived in rath- CT unusual environment. They had a little home surrounded by few acres about half way up Clover Cut. The cut was four miles long and until the year previous had been a part of the railroad.

resolutions were passed endorsing
the establishment of a tuberCula1

the matter to the county con1mis-
sioners. The committee formu'

presentation to the equity commits
slonerS:
We, the undersigned duly ap
pointed committee. respectfully
petition your honorable body to
at once proceed to provide a suit
able home to be known as 1.-The

tents may be taken and treated
We urge this because of the
urgent necessity of isolating these
cases of lncipient tubercular trou-
BILE in order that the spread of
this desease may be, in a meas
ure checked
This can be run in connection
with but entirely separate from,
the present county home at a
surprisingly small cost to the
county.
This request is made, not only
in the interest Of suffering hu-
mainly. but also in the interest
OF the poor unfortunates who are
necessarllysthrown in close con-
tact with those suffering with
the disease, 50 per cent Of which.

1For these reasons, gentlemen,
We beg you to establish this
