ma and other Southern states. It is
possible now for the young people OF
Ae~ndersonviIle and Henderson codncy
to get business courses right here al
home and at a reasonable rate which
they have heretofore been compelled
to seek elsewhere at a much higher
cost.
New classes in stenography are now
being formed and anyone wishing 10
take work along these lines should
communicate with the superintendent
or with Mr.. Wilson at once.
An opportunity to take music also IS
offered at the graded school, for when
ever Mrs. Wheelwright's class be
comes too large for her time, a COM
petent assistant will come in and take
a part Of the work.
The colored school also deserves
mention. They seem to appreciate
their quarters in the new building,
w. M. Robinson with his excellent
core of teachers, they are making a
new record for themselves both in en-
rollment and attendance.
The enrolment for the fall term
was 173 with an average daily attend
ance of 1872. This is much better than
in past years, and the grade of work
that is being done also appears to be
above all former standards.

POOR GINNERES CAUSE n. C. FARMERS GREAT Loss

by the increased weight. They fool
themselves. The buyers make allow.
ance for the loss that is sure to occur
in weights by paying less for the cot.
ton. The buyer who handles many
bales from many farmers is in better
position to judge how much green cot
ton will lose than the farmer who
only raises a comparatively few bales.
You can rest assured that the buyer
will protect himself. AS an example:
Mills are at present paying about 1c
a pound, OF $500 per bale, more for
old cotton than new.
The ginning of cotton at old style
ginneries that fail to get out all the
leaf and dirt possible has always been
uneconomic and improbable. The
farmer who has felt that he was sell
ing dirt and leaf for the price OF cot.
ton has fooled himself only. He has
been pitting his necessarily limited
knowledge against that of the spinner
who was and is able to tell to the
ounce how much waste a bale of cot.

, COUNTRY Town DID

VIII 0NE COUNTRY TOWN DID
The Janua-y Wo-lan's Home Com
panion says;
"Sabetha, Kansas, with a population
of 1920; has led the way in originating
and carrying out a plan Of country
town preparedness. Up TO September
1st this little city had raised $4,000
for helping out in the various war ac-
t~ivities. 1t has $4,000 of this amount
IN the bank ready for use as occasion
might demand. In addition one hun
dred gallons of fruit and vegetables
had beer canned, to be sold during the
winter or otherwise disposed of by the
local authorities.
"Sabetha's plan is unique in that it
was originated by the citizens of the
town themselves. They decided to
have one big, ~all-inclusive organiza-
ton. Before the Kansas Council of
Defense had its plans under way, the
towns-peopIe were busy with the &C
~tivities championed by themselves.
"The first money, amounting to over
two hundred dollars, was raised on a
tag day early in the season. Then the
women were registered, there months
before people began to thing about a
plan of national registration.
"Oct. 2Sth-The latest bulletin from
Sabetha: Our conservation committee
had 235 quarts of donated canned
foods TO rsale. The food was sold at
auction, and patriotism ran high, one
quart of tomatoes bringing $1.45. All
sold high because of appreciation Of
the work of the ladies who canned this
during the hot weather. The proceeds
Of the sale were used for buying hos
pital supplies.
"Our hospital supply committee has
the town Workroom, and seven work
room in the country, these latter
meeting weekly or f~ortnightly. One
country workroom has made 14O0 sur
gical pieces since July 1st. The hos
pital supplies are all made under the
direction of the NATIONAL Surgical
Dressings Committee of New York,
now a national auxiliary of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Since it is more con-
venient to have articles of n kind in
one box, and since small communities
make several different articles. the
New York committee separates the ar
ticles before shipping to France.
Should we make n sufficient number Of
one kind to fill a 8 Y 2 X 2 box, it would
be left unopened, having been inspect
ed here"
