When Alice in her apron
And big broad hat of straw,
Strolls into her back yard garden
She's cute as you ever saw.
She has a lowered watering pot,
A dainty little rake,
In matters agricultural
Much interest she doth take.
She waters potato plant
And how she doth enthuse-
What matter that she gets the most
Of it upon her shoes.
A daintier little gardener
You'd scarcely ever find,
And vegetables are glad to grow
When her they have in mind.
She reads the books and papers and
The magazines galore,
And makes a dozen blades of grass
Grow where one grew before.
Oh, Agricultural Alice is
Quite proud to do her bit"
And best of all she looks so sweet
While she is doing it.

is WELL WORTHY OF HONOR
Southern Journal Puts Forward the
Claims of the SunfioWer as the
National Emblem.

There is nowhere such a yellow as
in the petals of the biggest and most
cheerfully nodding of all the black
eyed susans we have, there is nowhere
such richness as in the brown OF
its seeded heart. Nothing that grows
is so friendly, so gracefully compan-
iOnable whether through an open win
dow or brushing idly and happily up
against ones person. 1t is no weak
ling, the strong and lusty sunflower.
1t is largely masculine, with it's
straightness, disdain of pampering and
love of the air 1t breathes and soil
from which 1t springs. Adversely but
builds it stronger, and extremes or
weather affects it little. If our national
flower, which we believe is the golden
rod, isn't quite satisfactory, let's
adopt the fine, outstanding yellow sun
flower, the king. Onarch, complacent
nuler of every flower that waves. Ev-
.erything about King SunfiOwer is
typically American and he's demo
Frat to the fiber and root of his be-
Ing. Which is just what we want In
America at this time.-MacOn Tele-

Jackson.--Prof w. F. Bond, state

sued the following appeal to all coun-
ty superintendent:
During the first week in September
a special effort is going TO be made by
all the forces interested In the conser-
walton of our food crops to place a
home economics agent in every county
in the, state. / want to urge that you
use all of your influence to bring about
this very much desired result. Every
county should have home economics
agent. In fact, the people OF those
counties not having that advantage OF
such an agent during the coming year
will be placed at considerable disad-
vantage in the conservation of food
crops and other matters very vital at
this time to every home in the state.
"Our people must prepare in times
of plenty for any emergency, so that,
during the period Of war, we may not
only feed ourselves, but help to feed
our allies. | want to urge that you
give your personal attention to this
matter, and that you cooperate in ev-
cry way possible with Miss Powell and
her forces in this very important
work"

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or cailus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so 1t can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.
