tian church will meet with Mrs. +. W.

J. &. Kemmer was up from Grassy
Cove Monday. He reports crops very
backward and looking bad. Corn looks
worse, he says. than for many years.
The recent cold spell of three weeks
, has retarded growth seriously ard corn
IN particular, looks bad, where 1t is up.
Many persons have not completed their
, corn yet, while quite a number have
planted none at all or very little. Ow-
| ing to it being very dry as well as
cool, frost has done very little damage
and most crops and truck are expected
to revive rapidly with the warm
weather now on hand.
Mrs. C. E. Snodgrass, little daugh-
ter Joyce, and son "Pat," and Miss
Rhoda Belle DeRossett mutored to
Loudon last week with A. E. Horn as
driver, and brought home her daugh-
ter, Miss Lola Belle Snodgrass. who

past year, her work tor the school year
having closed.
Bethel Brown, son of Judge $. {.
Brown, Athens, has gone 20 Fort Ogle-
thorpe to JOIN the officers training
camp. He has had some service in the
navy several years ago, which will
make his chances better than otherwise
for a commission.
it is now recognized that there will
be great shortage of tin for making
cans for putting up fruits and vege-
tables this year and special efforts are
being MADE throughout the United
States to instruct the people as to the
best method of saving fruits and veg
etables by drying and other ways that
may be avaialble to help out the can
shortage. Mrs. Olive X. Barnes, who
has peen head OF the domestic science
department of the Polk county high |
school, at Benton, the past year, has
rendered her services free, provided
her expences be- paid, during her vaca-
ton period from June to September, |
to visit every part of Polk county and !
instruct tie people In the best methods |
of saving such foods as are usually |
canned and dried. Her services will |
very likely be accepted and Polk coun-
ty will thereby have much larger
store Of food the coming fall than
would otherwise be the case. Mrs.
Barnes rendered very efficient service I
IN the high school here for two years.

home in far away New Mexico, has not
