rENNESSEANS DO NIGHT
FARMING

This year labor has been scarce. 1t
has been impossible to get all work
done during the day. For that reason
many Tennessee farmers have not
stopped with the coming of night. On
moonlight nights some Of them have
worked till twelve or one o'clock. Val
uable crops have been produced in
this way; threshing has been finished
equipment for the next days work
has been produced; plowing has been
done.
D. f. Webb of Marshall county
works this way. He has only a small
farm, and does not own a tractor, but
he finds that there are lots Of jobs
hat can be done almost as. well at
night as during the day.
Other war industries are being run
night and day. Food production is gen
orally considered just as necessary
as other industries. So why shouldn't
farms be operated both night. and
day?

THANKSGIVING

When the first winter of Plymouth
Colony had passed, and the corn crop
Of the second fall was gathered, Gov.
Bradford decreed a day Of thanksgiv-
ing. From Plymouth the custom spread
to other colonies.
In 1889 President Washington is
sued general thanksgiving day pro
clamation. The sar1e year, the Prot
astant Episcopal Church in America
announced the first Thursday in Nov
.ember as regular day for giving
thanks, unless another day be ap-
pointed by the civil authorities"
Some states had an annual Thanks
giving day; others did not. Mrs. Sara
J. Hale, the editor of Gody's Lady
Book, took lively interest in the sub
ject, and for twenty years sent out
pleas through the columns of hel
journal for a nationwide thanksgiv,
ing. She wrote letters to each Of the
Presidents, and in 1893 her efforts
were rewarded when President Lin
coin appointed the last Thursday ir
November as Thanksgiving, and Mrs
Hale won for herself the title, "Moth-
er of Thanksgiving" Woman's World

GARDENERS, SAVE YOUR
LEAVES

Don't rake up your autumn leaves
n pile and burn them. You are burn
ing valuable fertilizing material for
your garden. The garden needs hum
us. Leaves furnish it. If each garden
ar would save the autumn leaves and
put them on the garden he would sec
a marked difference in the crop next
year.
Gather the leaves and store them
where they will not blow away. Just
before the garden is plowed spread
them over the garden and plow them
under.
If they cannot be plowed under at
once, them in flat pile foot or
more thick and cover with an inch of
soil. Let them remain until spring.
To this pile of leaves add waste
straw from the chicken pen, shrub
berry clippings, and waste about the
place. 1t will make a valuable dress
ing for your garden next spring.

Evangelina's courage failed her, and
she allowed herself to be won over.
She began her preparations by disguis-

she made a stain with which she col

for the two black people who had suf-

also that O'Reilly would come before

O'Reilly liked this girl. He had Mixed

He could not guess her age, for an ex-
