The same varieties may be used for
the TALL garden that we've recommen-

plant the things on the ground they
occupied 10 the spring. Change the
location of the different plants in the
garden.

Tae country weekly newspaper if
properly directed, is the most power
full agency for good III any eommuni-
ty. No other class of publication
comes SO close to the people. The
real country weekly newspaper that
fulfills its proper mission is a mold
err of public opinion. To too many
communities the country weekly
newspaper is the subject of ridlcule,
but that is the fault OF the editor
and the publisher. OF the $4,000
country weekly newspapers in A
'merica probably not more than 10
per cent of them are constructive
factors in their respective sommunl

paper boys keep their head and don /
let themselves be worked too much
for such free notices ia building up

psychological effect upon the mind
of the people in influencing them to

mercy of the great body of the voters
of the state for office favors.

Southern Railway Installs
Telephone Dispatching

The telephone is replacing the tels-
graph as a means of dispatching trains
and has been recognized by officials Of
the southern Railway Company as the
best means to move trains over the road.
Already the telephone system is in use
between Washington and Spencer, n. c.,
and as fast as possible other portions of
the road are being equipped with tele-
phone circuits. 1t will not be long be-
fore Washington will be in direct tele-
phone communication with Atlanta, Ga
Experts say that there is less chance
of error, as the dispatcher taking the
order over the telephone has to write
down numbers and letters and then re-
peat them for correction.

BURIAL BUSINESS BAD;
SO TOWN GUSTS NURSE
Miss Fanny F. Clements Tells Mining
Camp Experience.

Some unusually frank reasons given
by members OF a town board for voting
against further support of a visiting
nurse were related in Cincinnati yester-
day by Miss Fanny F. Clements, super
intendent OF the Town and Country Nurs-
ing Service of the American Red Cross,
before the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The town was a mining community in
a Western State. A nurse who had
worked in the town with great success
for eighteen months, suddenly found her
financial support discontinued by a vote
Of the town board. OF the three board
members who cast the majority vote, one,
an undertaken. frankly said he was op-
posed to her because there had been so
few baby funerals since her arrival.
The second owned an insanitary barn
next to the schoolhouse which had been
ordered torn down on complaint Of the
nurse The third owned property not
connected by sewerage, as the law re-
CURED. and the nurse had started a cam
paign against such landlords.
This incident was used by Miss Glenn
ents to illustrate some of the problems
attacked by wide awake rural nurses to-
day and some of the public prejudices
they have to meet.
