He has an in- teresting set of lantern slides on beef cattle and will show these pictures in Collins Friday night, and Jones School Community Club Saturday night.
 We hope to have good crowds at both places. The farmers will have an opportunity to make up orders for corn and ap- point men to go to Missouri and buy 1t for them cheaper than 1t can be bought on the local mar ket. Every body attend these meetings and take advantage of these opportunities.

AGRICULTURAL.
Provide Sheds for the Livestock
By W. B. Pace. County Agricultural Aser

It Is a common practice Tn many of the Southern States for farmers to winter their live stock without providing sheds for them. They are exposed to all the weather, good or bad, and usually it is very bad through January and February. Many cattle die every year from ex- posture. Some farmers seem to think that COW or hog that can rustic the best and cost him the least to raise Is the one that pays best. But this is not the case. The higher we develope the ani- nal the more care it requires. A pure bred hog will die where scrub would "pull through. :" But whether scrub or pure bred, they will all do better where they are cared for, and the pure bred animal will do the best when this is done.
 There are at least five reasons why every farmer who has live stock should provide shelter for them. l. It reduces the death rate caused from expos. ure. }. More good is derived from the same amount of feed when stock are sheltered, and less feed IS wasted. 3. Cattle or other livestock, penned under a shed can be fed and attended to much easier, than if they are fed in the open. f. Live stock sheltered and fed through the winter will make quicker and more profitable gains when turned on the pasture in the Spring. ,, The extra amount of manure saved will more than pay for the construction of the shed in one year.
 It IS not necessary to build an expensive shed. In some in. stances old cabins may be con verted into a good shed. It is not necessary to have tight walls on all sides. A few dollars will do the work. Try it NOW while 1t Is needed.

world over, has now acquired a new idea of government It has discovered that government IS not limited to being far-off, ln- different thing; that it may be something which 1t can step into peoples homes, take their sons, kill millions of men, devaste great regions. Newspapers bring daily evidence that the people Of Germany, for example, are now taking the liveliest and most ln- innate interest in government. So people are, generally, through out Europe.
 The United States needs a livelier and more intimate inter. est in government on the part of people: a constant and critical interest. Any number of young men still know more about the batting average in last seasons baseball than they know about the performances of their Sena- tors and Representatives. Sena- tors, Representatives and Presi- dents will never perform at their best to an audience that is usual. 1 ly looking the other way.
 Government with its increas ing activities, is bound to be in creasingly important to every body. To know what govern
 ment is doing, and how, is part of everybody's personal business not just at election time, but

Terrace The Hill and Slopes.

Thousands of dollars worth of plant food and fertile soil is lost each year that could be saved bv terracing. The purpose of a ter. race Is to carry the surface water off the land and at the same time take it off slow enough to prevent erosion. Erosion is reduced to minimum where the hill sides and slopes are proper. ly terraced. This provision for adieuate water outlet is one of the biggest problems in terrac ing. Natural courses make the best outlets. Sometimes it is necessary to construct ditches for use as outlets.

The coming of peace and the attendant resumption of normal business will in all probability, mark the beginning of an era of business expansion and growth which, if properly directed, will carry the South a long way for ward toward her goal of 100 per cent efficiency in agricultural development and in the exploita- tion of her industries and in the development of her natural re- sources. If Monticello and Drew County are to share in this splen- did forward movement there must be unselfish cooperation on the part of all the citizens.
 It is possible to build here a town whose civic beauty, whose public utilities whose industrial activities and educational ad- vanageS will attract those seeking ideal surroundings in which to build their homes, rear and ed ucate their families. Likewise the town should be made attractive to the young business or profes. sional man, who is seeking to make his way in the line of en. ldeavor he has undertaken. Tc this and new industries should be encouraged and aided in securing suitable buildings or locations. Moreover there should be an ear. nest effort made to provide whole some amusements and recreation for the young people of the com munity. The Y. M. and the Y w. (. A. huts in the camps have demonstrated the service that 2 recreational center may render.

The great world war is over and many economic changes will take place in the U $.
 We must learn to save just as our government learned to save during the war.
 Nothing was thrown away that could possibly be repaired and put into use again.
 The government is going to urge and advise us to save just as they save millions of dollars by either repairing or turning into cash almost every piece of equipment used by both by the army and navy.
 The great financial strength of Germany at the time she went to war is directly due to the fact that the German government taught her people how to save.
 The way to make big begin hing is to look over the attic, plunder room, outhouses and see if there is not some article that has been discarded, and which might be turned into cash.
 We have have decided to utilize our large and roomy upstairs for the sale of secondhand furniture.
 We will buy anything you have in the way of household e. quipment which you have put out of use.
 Call Us and our man will call promptly and inspect any arti- clewhich you have for sale and pay you cash for them.
 We will buy them.
 Why not turn these things which you call usuless into cash. 1
 We will buy them.

TAKING AN INTEREST

Saturday Evening Post: This generation of Americans has been
 very little interested in govern ment-whether 1t was local gov erment. State government or Fed. eral government. All oratorical and journaltic pretensions to the contrary are mere buncombe. A merlcanS were interested in politics just about as they were interested in baseball. It was a national sport, pursued for the excitement of the campaign and of seeing which side would win. After one side had won, the con. test was settled and people thought about something else.
 Exceptions may be noted to that statement. Some people were interested in government all the time. Now and then unusual circumstances livened general in- terest in the subject. But the average American, by and large, gave precious little attention toit. If the party that had won signally failed to redeem its promises he shrugged his shoulders and for. got 1t Tn six months.
 In twenty years-from 1892 to 1912 population increased 46 Der cent and the vote for President increased only 25 per cent: and hundreds of thousands voted for President who never voted at other elections. In city, State and Nation, parties were held to no strict account for fulfillment of their pledges, because people were too little interest in what they did. A very large portion of the electorate voted simply by rote always for the same party ticket. irrespective of the merit of he candidate or the recent record ot the party-just as patriotic citizen roots for his own towns oall team whether it is good or lot. And neither party meant anything in particular.
