Jack started for the door, while Tom
made Il rapid turn under the sofa and
around the table, and just as Jack

Tom Quartz and Jack

Dear Kermit:
We felt very melancholy after you
and Ted left and the house seemed
empty and lonely. But it was the
greatest possible comfort to feel that
you both really have enjoyed school
and are both doing well there.
Tom Quartz is certainly the cum
ningest kitten l have ever seen. He
is always playing pranks on Jack
and l get very ervou lest Jack
should grow too irritated. The other
evening they were both in the library
Jack sleeping before the fire-Tom
Quartz scampering about. an exceed
ingly playful little wild creature
which is about what he is. He would
race across the floor, then jump upon
the curtain or play with the tassel.
Suddenly he spied Jack and galloped
up to him. Jack, looking exceedingly
sullen and shame-faced, jumped out
of the way and got upon the sofa,
where Tom Quartz instantly jumped
upon him again. Jack suddenly shift

What is the Boy Scout Movement?
Through the courtesy Of the Perth
Amboy EVENING NEWS a place is
being made available each Saturday
for Scout News. Knowing that there
are a great many people who think
that they know what the Boy Scouts
Of America stand for, but who are
really only partially informed, It is
the plan to publish weekly brief items
as to the principles and policies Of
h movement.
To some this may he ancient his
tory, but for the information of those
who do not know we shall start in
the beginning.
Scouting is supposed to have had
its birth during the Boer war. Lieut..
Gen. Sir Robert s. 5. Badcn-PUwell
nae charge of the intelligence ser
vice He found hat these men who
were gathering information for him
regarding the enemy were fast losing
their morale. An idea anne to him
that perhaps he could use boys in this
capacity. He therefore gathered
about him a group of loyal boys and
trained them in the fundamental
principles necessary to the gathering
of information. These boys having
been given a definite responsibility,
responded in such a surprising way
that at the close of the var Sir Rob
ert decided to orSanlZe Doy-hood upon
his return to England.
He therefore gathered about him
boys of the teen age. from the slums
of the city, installing in their hearts
fundamental principles Of what was
to be later the world wide Boy Scout
Movement. This as just a beginning
and while it took a great deal of
time on the part of Sir Robert, he de-
serves the entire credit for having
given unstintingly of both time and
money.

had to take a vacation because OF
having almost oVerwOrked himself;
but he will be Jack on December 3.
ready for a great deal more work for

For six weeks beginning. Tuesday,

THE COUNTRY EDITORIAL

Nanv editors of small papers re-
fuse to give their readers editorials
on the ground that editorials are
for the large city papers and the pup
lie does not care for the views of
the country editor AS matter OF
fact, the views of the rural popula-
ton are really reflected by the edl-
torials of the large city papers, which
clean them from the country papers
which run editorials. The sound
thought of the country is to be found
in the rural districts. Here IN the
more or less quiet of the country,
men and women read and study and
gather data which results in conclus-
ions founded on a solid basis. Some
times this thought may be biased by
the enthusiasm aroused by the prac-
tical reformer or selfish politician
who runs off at a tangent with some
new fad or "ism," but generally
such fads are short lived and the
sensible thinker of the country dis
tricts returns to the sane and solid
and conservative attitude which has
always distinguished nm. Inc eoiCor
of the country paper, therefore, has
a duty to perform in crystallzlng TINS
thought and sending it out to the
world as the contribution of his sec
ton of the country to the agitation
of the day. The country editor,
usually is a comparatively poor man,
but he has sand and independence
and a pride of work rarely found IN
other professions. Moreover ne is
brought into closer personal contact
with his constituency than the editor
of the big city paper. 1t is safe to
saw that never before in the history
of journalism have editorials been
more widely or more carefully read,
not perhaps as in the old days, to
base an opinion on the views of the
editor. but for the purpose of get
ting all sides of every question.-Cor-
nelia Enterprise.

METHODIST ITEMS

Increased attendance an interest
marked the last session of our Sum-
day School. The collection for the
Orphans Honme at Decatur was
$217.47. Miss Lottie Lou Murray's
class raised $157.00. That was splen-
did.
The pastor preached to large con-
gregations Sunday and the congrega-
tions since have been excellent. The
interest in the revival is deep and
growing.
Rev. J. P. Erwin is conducting a
revival at Kennesaw this week, and
says the prosects are very encourag-
ing. The meeting at Olinville under
the leadership of pastor Shell was a
successful one. Bros. Erwin and
Grove did most of the preaching.
The Sunday School Council Sun
day afternoon was we'll attended by
teachers and others and the progress
made was truly gratifying. 1t was
presided over by Mr.. ]. j. Daniel.
DR.. J. D. Malone and Col. B. T.
Frey were at Acworth Sunday in be-
half of the District parsonage. They
deserve the thanks Of the Methodists
of the district for the work they
are doing.
Attend all the services of the re-
vival if you can. The auditorium
should be packed Sunday. Brother
Beyerle is fine leader. The Harde-
man Orchestra is giving valuable as
sistance and Mrs. Turner's solos are
truly inspiring. The manifest pres
ence of the spirit of God is cause
for thanksgiving.

FOR BETTER
MONEY MAKING CROPS
To Aid Farmers in Determining the
Best Paying Products of
Each Mans Land.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 2.-The crop
conditions in Georgia and the best
means to fight the boil weevil with
other money crops, giving full infor-
nation to the farmer, is the plan of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.
Every possible source of informa-
ton is to be utilized by the depart
ment, making known their suggestions
in the form of publications to be dis
tributed throughout the state. The
suggestion came from the Georgia
senator to Secretary Houston because
of the necessity for immediate action
to be taken, and to get this infor-
nation disseminated before the time
for the next crops.
Tobacco and peanuts will come in
for considerable attention, with the
methods of growing and the particu-
lar soil of the different parts of the
state. Reports on the success of the
tobacco crop are not as bright as 1t
had been hoped, but the fact that it
is a money crop will claim attention
for the Georgia farmer. Peanuts
have already made progress as a
large part of Georgia's agricultural
products, and their relation to the hog
industry in it's rapid growth calls for
attention.
Secretary Houston has directed,
according to advices received here,
that the various bureau chiefs in his
department gather facts and infor-
nation for various crops and it will
be placed at the disposal of the Geor-
gia farmer.
