ART NOT ACQUIRED BY ALL
Really Proficient Naeger Is Born So,
but Accomplishment Is One That
Can Be Acquired.

Nagging your husband is a special
hrt by itself, and while some women
nave a natural gift in that direction,
others can only acquire it by constant
npplcatlOn. A husband in a house is
something like a hippopotamus. He is
often dull, placid creature, hard to
move or dislOdge, especially if he gets
accustomed to favorite chair. He
otten becomes tOughened by exposure
TO constant nagging, and it takes a
powerful weapon with a fairly high
trajectory to do him any damage. Oc-
caslOnally, however, he develops SEN
sltlVe areas, and can become a con-
stant source of pleasure to any lady
who likes to nag.
EVERY woman knows, of course, that
her husband is more susceptible about
han an hour before dinner, when he
has come home from the office tired
put. By studying him carefully she
VIII discover certain days in the
month when she can nag him with the
highest percentage of bulrs-eyes.
The art of nagging, however, is not
all objective. Much can be done from
the subjective standpoint. BY intimat-
ing to her husband in many ways,
which she can easily learn by prac-
tice, that she is the most abused lady
on earth, she can derive a whole pro-
gram of amusement. The historical
method-that of dragging up some
dead, forgotten thing and talking
about it all over again, and still over
again-is also a splendid form of nag
ging.
Some wives, however, so blind are
they, never see this at all. They just
go on, hopefully trying to make theil
husbands happy. The high art of nag
ging is not given to every woman

AFTER MANY YEARS OF WORK
Commission Finally Publishes lts
Findings, and, as Usual, the Tax
payers Foot the Bill.

A dog once bit a boys leg, so the
iatter's father promptly sued the own
er of the animal. After much wrang-
ling the case was submitted to an in
dependent inquiry committee, which
many years after gave their decision
as follows:
'We find the dog partly responsible
for tue bite-nOt the owner, whom we
have established has no cannibalistic
tendencies. Considering the independ-
ent action of the animal, which point
ed to bones in the vicinity, it is to be
regretted that the canine intelligence
did not consider the portion of leg
between it and the said bones.
''The boy is not guilty of negligence
in getting in the dogs way, and we
should compensate him, only he is now
a man, and it was a boy who was bit
ten. Likewise he has forgotten which
leg suffered.
eve are inclined to censure the dog
for careless discrimination, but it is
dead, so we unanimously conclude no
one is guilty, except the taxpayers,
who, having derived considerable en-
| tertainment from the proceedings
must now pay the cost thereof. -

EXPLAINS WARMTH OF WOOL
SUPERIOR to Linen Because 1t Is an
Animal Product and Also Has
Special Properties.

The main difference between wool
and linen is that wool is animal and
linen is vegetable, and that the fiber
of wool is irregular, while that OF
linen is straight and regular. When
the irregular fiber of the wool is woven
it contains certain little cells which
hold a neutral layer of air. The linen
has no such cells. This layer of air
which the cells make is Ike an in
visible coat that keeps the normal heat
of the body from leaving it and which
at the same time keeps the atmos-
phere which is colder than the Dooy
temperature from entering it.
This layer of air is, as some writer
has put it, little gaseous armor.
If woolen yarn is rendered straight
and regular by some special treatment
in the mill, and is woven like Hnen' II
is only a very little warmer than hnen'
That little is due to its being ANIMAL
which has always more warmth TO II
than vegetable product.

Seize the Leisure Moment.

The capacity for understanding and
loving great books and paintings and
music has to grow with our own growth
and cannot be postponed to another
season. The average man is supposed
to have no time for these things. He
has time, but he refuses to turn it into
leisure-leisure which means contem-
platiOn and thOughtfulness-alth
he very likely knows that this has been
accomplished over and over again by
men who have saved out of a busy life
for that purpose an hour or two of
every day. One recalls Darwin's pa
thetic statement wherein he describes
his early love for poetry and music,
and the final complete loss of those
faculties through neglect. 1.-THE loss of
these tastes" he says, 'is a loss of
happiness, and may possibly be injuri-
Gus to the intellect, and more prob
ably to the moral character by en-.
feebling the emotional part of our ma
ture."

apart. Good results may be obtained
from planting kidney or marrow
beans in the corn field alongside the
hills after the corn has been cultivated
once or twice.
Pole beans require a somewhat
richer soil than the bunch type and
should be planted in hills three by
four or four by four feet, and, as
the name implies, they require a pole
or some similar support. Plant the
seed during the early summer. Sew
eral varieties of climbing bean may
be planted in the corn field and al
lowed to climb upon the hills of corn.
The old-fashioned corn bean belongs
to this type.
The Lima bean, both pole and bush,
forms one of the most desirable pro-
ducts of the garden. This crop thri-
YES best when the soil is quite rich;
in fact, good Lima beans cannot be
grown in poor soil. They should not
be planted until the soil becomes
thoroughly warm. Place the seed in
hills. eight or 10 to the hill, and after
the plants become established thin to
four or five. The hills should be four
or five feet apart for the pole varie-
ties and two or three feet apart for
the dwarf or bunch varieties. 1t is
a good idea to make up tn hill with
little additional manure we'll mixed
with the soil. Cover the beans about
one and one-half inches, placing them
with the eye downward.
When planting beans of any kind
the seed should not be covered to
greater depth than two inches when
the soil is moderately dry, and if the
soil is wet the covering should be
very slight.

come within the scope of commercial
club activities have been most excel
iently looked after. However, the
very fact that such good foundation
work has been done makes it all the
more imperative that superstruc-
lure IN keeping with the foundation
De erected. This, necessarily, re-
CURES more than ordinary devotion
to duty and compact, thoroughly
united organization of men and re-
sources-all dedicated to the one big
cause OF city and community develop
ment. We not only want to maintain
the high standard of efficiency that
has characterized the work of the Com
mercial Club but we want to make it
a still more potent factor in the in
dustrial, commercial and most impor-
tant OF all, the agricultural interests
of this section.
The one big purpose behind this
organization is to make it a positive
benefit in every way to the citizen
ship of this county. We want it to
be recognized as the concentration
camp for all the constructive forces
in the county. We want the people
to feel it is their organization-that
it does not belong exclusively to Mari
anna because it derives it's chief fin
ancial support from the city, but that
every man, woman, boy and girl has
place in its comprehensive plans
and that all should feel keen inter-
est in its work.
At the earliest possible time Mr..
Newell, the country demonstration.
and myself will enter upon wheat
campaign, at which time the secre-
tary hopes to see all the people of
the country. This county should
raise a larger acreage of wheat to
feed our own people and to help feed
the boysi n the trenches.
Another important plan we hope to
have in operation within the next
thirty or sixty days is the publication
of a marketing bulletin, twice each
month. If present plans work out we
will have this publication placed in
the hands of every farmer in Lee
county twice each month. All farm
ers will have free access to it's col
umns to advertise what they have for
sale and to give publicity to their
wants. The expenses incident to
publishing this periodical will be
borne by the Commercial Club. All
you will be called upon to do will be
to notify Mr.. Newell, the county
agent, or myself, of your desires and
we will see that proper mention is
made of your wants in the bulletin.

For the production of bunch dry
kidney or white marrow, planting
may be made almost any time during
the first half of the summer This
class of bean is generally planted as
late as possible to have the crop ripen
just before early frost in the autumn.
Bunch beans usually are planted in
rows 30 inches apart and the plants
allowed to stand singly or inches
