SALE DAY.
Miss Lena Bolt, Agent.

On December the 10th we will
have our last Sale Day for this year,
and we want the people to see what a
variety they can put on the market at
this time. When you sell something
which you have to spare you not m
" take in a little extra money, but
you help the other party to get some
thing which he needs. We do not
want to sell what we need at home,
but only the surplus products, which
we can spare and which would posi-
bly, waste if we did not sell them. So
let us all take a part in this and try
to establish and hold a market for
our surplus local and perishable pro-
duets.
You may have some butter, eggs,
chickens, molasses, peanuts, pecans,
walnuts, scaly banks, hickory nuts,
turnips, lettuce, radishes, cabbage,
spinach, onions, dried peas, or beans,
dried fruits, canned fruit, and veg
etables and peanut butter. You Will
possibly think of other things that
you want to sell and can bring them.
Let us keep up this exchange and
keep up the production of the pro-
ducts as well. Bring a sample of
anything you have to sell and take
orders for more.
Don't forget the time and place.
Court House, 10 o'clock Monday
morning, December the 10th.
We arranged it on this date be-
cause it was the Tooth anniversary
of the admission of our state into
the union. Let every club member
try to have something to sell on this
date.

NOBODY KNOWS!

Absolute knowledge | have none,
But my aunt's washerwoman's sis
ter's son,
Heard a policeman on his beat,
Say to a laborer on the street,
That he had a letter just last week,
Written in the finest Greek,
From a Chinese cooley in Timbuctoo,
Who said the niggers in Cuba knew,
Of a colored man in a Texas town,
Who got it straight from a circus
clown,
That a man in Klondike heard the
news,
From a gang of South American Jews,
About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard a man who claimed to
know,
Of a swell society female rake,
Whose mother-in-law will undertake,
To prove that her seventh husbands
sisters niece,
Has stated in a printed piece,
That she has a son who has a friend
Who knows when the war is gong te
end.

1t seems like carrying Goals
to Newcastle" to tell the aver
age housewife, who is also most
generally the garden maker, that
she should plant kitchen herbs
in her garden; but 80 few do
this, since our grandmothers'
time, that we feel that it would
be we'll to remind you. Most of
housewives depend on the drug
gistor grocer for their supply of
dried herbs, but these are of
more or less variable strength,
and at times, of no strength at
all; for this, if not for economy's
sake. the garden should grow at
least a family supply. The seeds
are not expensive, and a paper
of the seeds will grow more
plants than one housewife will
want; plants, ready to set out,
can be had of most kinds, es-
pecially the perennial herbaceous
kinds, at small cost from the
nurseries, and this is often the
most economical plan, as well as
the surest. Direction for plant
ing seeds are on each label. and
any grower of plants will tell
you how to set out and care for
the young plants. AS TO har-
vesting and preparing the herbs
for drying, write to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, or even
your own State Board of Agri-
culture, or experiment station.
Most of these herb are biennial
or perennial, but the ANIMALS

mands on your time and strength
Now is the time to attend to
this, and your seed catalogues
will tell you what you should
have.
The salad plants will thrive in
almost any soil that will grow
plants. The seeds of salad cher
vii should be soWn in the spring;
by itself, it is an excellent salad,
but mixed with a water cress or
corn salad, the flavor is much
improved. The turniprooted
chervil should be sown in the
fall, but the plants do not ap.
pear until spring, maturing in
early summer, and can remain
in the ground all winter; the
roots are like carrots, though of
different flavor, and they are
used for fiavoring soups. Corn
salad is usually sown in the fall,
covered lightly through the win
ter, and used in the spring. Dan
delion plants are now among the
cultivated salad plants, and cul-
tivation much improves the pal
atability of the leaves. They
are best when mixed with other
salad plants.
