Harold Jones gave very inter
esting entertainment at the school
house Monday evening, consisting
Of readings and a chalk talk. The
readings were Socrates Setting a
Hen, "Laska," ""Ben Hur's Char.
lot Race" and a humorous selec.
ton. The last two named were
the selections TO which the enter.
tainer was the better adapted and
these were very well given indeed
The chalk talk, in our opinion, was
the best part Of the program, and
in this Mr.. Jones has talent, which
shonld make him a drawing card

Ed Jones has started work in dead

enlarged his plans somewhat. The
building will be Of cement blocks, two

will be used for a bakery. while up
stairs he will use for q hall, rooms, OF
whatever seems to be most needed. Ed
says Raymer will need both anyway,
and Ed is always all right.
M. S. Sweet expects to get into his
new building with his furniture stock

give him a splendid chance to display
his stock, and will also enable him te

CAMELS ARE IN BIG DEMAND
Great Numbers of Beast of the Desert
Used by the British in Defense
of Egypt.

Along the banks af the Suez canal
and thence along the old coast road to
the east you will find today between
the endless series of British encamp-
ments caravans Of camels passing to
and fro with their burdens or lying
patiently at their managers and chew
ing the cud with that tranquil express
sion of the beast which no stress Of
war can disturb, says the Manchester
Guardian.
There are more camels gathered
here than ever were assembled in the
bazaars Of Cairo or Damascus. Though
the defense of Egypt has been carried
forward from the canal itself to the
hills and dunes of the Sinai desert
and to the Land of Promise beyond,
the camel is still an integral part of
the defensive scheme. Roads and rail-
ways, it is true, run out here and there
eastward from the bank, but there re-
mains q vast hinterland unreclaimed
from the desert, waste, in which our
troops continually move.

The World on Wheels.

According to q report by the office
of public roads, which takes notice Of
such matters, there were 3,512,996 au-
tomobiles and motor trucks and 25O,-
500 motorcycles registered in the
United States in 1916. This is an in
crease of 43 per cent over the registry
of cars and trucks for the previous
year. The gain was greatest in the
Southern states, where it reached SO
per cent. On the estimate Of the pres
ent population there is now an automo-
bile for every 90 people in the United
States. On the basis of comfortable
seating capacity, this makes room for
one-sixth Of the inhabitants, says
Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's. Or, in
other words, if properly apportioned,
every sixth or seventh family would be
found supplied. The total license reve-
nue. derived from this source for 1916
was S25,865,370, which represents an
increase of $7,699659 over the receipts
of the same character for the year
before.

For Old LinoTeum.

An old linoleum, if not worn into
holes, may be refreshed and made al
most as good as new with little trou-
BILE. First, be sure that it Is stretched
and tackled as closely as possible.
Then paint it all over with two coats
of any good wash paint, letting the
first one dry before supplementtng it
with the second. When this is quite
dry, give the floor a coating of orange
shellac. After this is dry, go over 1t
with q second coat. This gives an ex-
cellent finish to the floor and will make
the linoleum not only look well, but
add greatly to its wearing qualities.
An oil mop will keep 1t clean.

IS DISPENSER OF COMFORT
One EnqIishwoman Does "Her Bit" by
Keeping Open House for Wounded
Mems Visitors.

There is large class Of English
women, writes London correspondent,
who have to keep their own homes go
ing, but who manage to take time to
help to ease the war strain. She visits
soldiers wives and families in dark
and dirty streets, as do most of her
friends and hundreds Of other women.
She never goes empty-handed. To pay
for these luxuries she dispenses with
help In the housework, rising earlier
in the morning to do it herself. Here
is the experience Of one:
In the course Of her visit to a hos
pital tall, sad, young Scotchman won
her sympathy. He was grievously
wounded, but what he seemed to suffer
from most was homesickness and a
wild longing for his own people, es-
pecially his mother. "She can't afford
it." he said when asked why she did
not visit him. "She could get half
fare warrant, I know, but even then
she's not accustomed to travel, and
she'd be lost in strange town."
This gave her an idea. She would
ask the mother to come to Leeds and
stay with her! She met her at the sta
ton and took her up to the hospital,
where the excited boy lay.
For q few days the old Scotch wom-
an stayed with her, and then returned
to Scotland full Of gratitude and de-
light at having seen her son. She was
the first Of many guests entertained by
this warm-hearted Englishwoman. SOL
diers' wives came, sometimes bringing
with them a baby-once or twice 1t
was baby the father had never seen
before, born while he was at the front !;
soldiers sisters, sweethearts, mothers,
all poor women who could not afford
to have come without her offer of hos
pitality. They arrived tired, anxious
and sad, and she comforted them and
cheered them, and they went away hap
pier to know that their dear ones had
so kind a friend at hand.

'..WEEKLY CoTToN LETTER"

The buying movement on the
part of the shorts of both future
and spot contracts found its culmi-
nation during the past week, and at
the present writing having suffered
a substantial reaction the market
finds itself in a waiting position
pending the issuance of the Gov
ernment Report which makes its
appearance at IL o'clock October
End. This report is expected by
the trade to come somewhere around
60 inasmuch as two private report
ing agencies have made this aver
age at that figure, which agencies
have in the past been more or less
correct in foreoasting tie Govern
ment figures.
The position Of the spot market
remains unchanged from the status
that has attained during the past
two weeks. Spots in the south,
over the entire belt, bringing a
substantial premium over prices of
deferred positions on the New Y ork
contract market. Offerings are ex-
tremely limited and when we take
into consideration the large forward
commitments which have been made
for the October delivery, tits rather
hard to realize, with the present
limited amount of cotton for sale,
how the dealer will fill his require.

why Cherries Are Red.

It was the theory Of Darwin that
nature made cherries beautiful to the
eve for a definite purpose. Red, he
said, was the most prominent and at
tractive color. Cherries turned to that
hue in order to attract birds. Birds,
noting the brilliant globules, tasted
them. found them to their liking, told
other birds and consumed the crop,
swallowing seeds and all. In this way
the cherry stones were carried far and
wide over the country and dropped
where they might grow into other
cherry trees.

Rich Lands a Prerequisite Il
Profits.

With cotton at 500 bale, the
difference IN value between our av-
erage yield of one-third of bale
per acre and yield of bale per
acre amounts to S66.66. Even at
$50 a bale, the difference is 1888
per acre.
Now since the cost of breaking
the land and planting and making
the crop are practically the same, it
is evident that We have very wide
margin indeed in which to pay for
the extra cost of making the extra
yield. Soil-improving crops and
fertilizers may be used rather law
ishly if they will double or treble
the return.
But, as in everything else, there's
a right way to 60 about the matter
of getting double the average yields.
The use of commercial nitrogen
will often pay, but the use of atmos'
pheric nitrogen, supplemented by
plenty of acid phosphate, will pay
better. Moreover, it will furnish us
the humus that 95 per cent of our
soils 30 sorely need.
Here, then, is our first and big
gest farm management problem
and it's solution is through the use
of plenty of velvet beans and peas
in summer and clover and rye il
winter. These mean rich lands
and prosperous farmers .-Progres
