A TIP TO WHEAT ESTERS
AND TIRESHERMEN.

DO you know all that is to be
known about saving wheat after Won
make it? If you do you had better
read en-, and if you knQw that you
don't know it all, why Of course, read
ON. In any event here is some valu-
able infOrmation---a tip.
Early in the year 1918, the United
States Agricultural Department sent
Il number of experts TO hold Insti-
tutcs for wheat growers and thresh-
ermcn IN the great wheat belts of
the United States, to give instruc-
tions ns to avoiding waste in hav-
vcsting and thrcshing.
To make long story short, more
than 20 million bushels were saved
rs salvage. How? BY more careful
handling in field, barn and in thresh-
ing. The shock rows, where much
wheat is left on the ground, around
stumps and bushes and in fence
corners. Shackled reapers and bin
ders, careless driving causes great
loss every year. BY hauling wheat
from the field in n close bed instead
OF frames, much shattered wheat was
saved. The greatest saving was made
at the stack at threshing time, by
properly Tightening teeth in the cyl
lnder, good selves, etc. 1t was shown
that large quantity of wheat was
blown out in the chaff, and many
heads passed through the machine
only half thrcshcd, or not threshed
ut all. 1t was also shown that many
so called good feeders" didn't know
how to feed the grain into the thresh-
or. This demonstration rounded up
more than 20 million bushels of
wheat usually wasted. At $2.2G per,
bushcl that was quite saving. And
the good teaching will be of great
benefit in years that follow.
The same is true to q greater or
less extent, in the handling of .all
crops on the farm. Why throw it
away after you make it? Perhaps
your old thrcshcr reeds overhaul
ing. Look about, and be wise this
season.

sented in the cast, and the rosy checks

Peter Wycomb, Mrs. Jas. Landon and
the charming daughter of the latter,
Miss Dorothy, for this occasion were
too deeply engrossed in their lines
IN putting over "The Time of His

much less waste their attentions on
him.
Mrs. Bob Grey, who is known at
Tazewell as Miss Katherine Surface
starred throughout the rendition of
the program and was the recipient
of many compliments. Professor and
Mrs. Bobbett, of the Tazewell high

acquitting themselves with much
credit: Jim Sam Gillespie, Katherine

DO YOU WANT TO LOSE THE
BEST TEACHERS?

1t is reported that number Of the
best teachers of Tazewell High School
have been offered positions elsewhere
at better salaries than are offered
here, and will likely leave Tazewell
unless some step is taken to retain
them. Generally speaking, the faculty
or the school for the past session has
been the best the school has had in
years. There has been little or no
friction and the children have done
well. Will Tazewell patrons permit
thcSe excellent teachers to be taken
away for the sake Of few dollars {? If
you have the interest of the school at
heart, see to it that the teachers are
paid Il decent salary.

TO IMPROVE OUR
SOCIAL LIFE
Y. M. {. A. Outlines Plans For
Aiding Social and Religious
Activities-An Amusement
Hall Suggested.

The Y. NJ. C. A. meeting on Mon
day night, in the High School Chapel
was of special interest.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the state Y. NJ. C. A,
Training Institute.
The object of the meetings was to
set out by lectures, charts, actual
demonstrations, moving pictures etc,
just what the Y. NJ C. A. is doing in
many counties in the state, viz, to
improve and promote the social and
religious conditions in every possible
way, In every community.
The Community Center Idea and
scheme is familiar now to all readers
of newspapers-an extension of the
Club idea, where men meet for So
cial enjoyment. A commEnity club L.,
every town, where the people can
meet young and old for purposes of
uplift and pleasure, is the object of
this branch of the Y. M. C. A.
AT this meeting on Monday evening
the whole plan and work was ex-
planned under three heads, Economics,
Recreation, Religion. Under these
heads there was grouped all the ac-
tivities---the things which make for
better living in the home, school and
church; including of course, games,
music and amusement of various
kinds.
Rev. Mr.. Peasants, the field Secre-
tary of the Y. M. C. A. explained
at length the idea. The demonstration
gave specimens and examples of
certain games, the music division was
present and gave an exhibition, and
also, the moving picture department.
Expression, as to the needs of this
community, were asked for, and re-
sponses were made from Mrs. A. S.
HigSinbotham, who suggested that
better sanitary conditions of the
school building was needed.
Mr.. Geo. w. st. Clair spoke along
a line which he has suggested here
tofore viz: that community building
should be provided, in which the peo-
pie of town and country could assem-
BILE often for pleasure, lectures and
social enjoyment, and get acquainted
with each other.
The building should be equipped
with rooms for games, entertainments
etc. including dancing if the young
people want to dance and will dance
1T is far better, said the speaker, that
they dance in such n place, with their
parents and friends present, rather
than off in some hall. Such Com
munity Center" would be of great
economic value to the town and coun-
ty. No estimate Of the cost of such
structure was stated, but it was
stated later that the cost should be
around $30,00000, about half of which
sum can be had at any time.
Memorial Hall.
This paper has suggested more than
once, that the memorial which it is
proposed to be erected to the memory
of Tazewell soldiers, should consist
of hall or building along the line
suggested above instead of some kind
OF a shaft, which would be of no prac-
tical utility. This Communty-C Center
building would meet all requirements.

Feminine Enjoyment.

she does on moving into house just

pick up, she makes the best Of it; but
where the woodwork has to be gone

way of putting down printed words to

Museum of Plants.

In the United States botanic garden
in the national capital, one may see
all the flowers from all parts of the
earth, as well as every tree from every
part of this great globe. There are in
teresting legends concerning trees that
are found there. Eminent men in the
course of the history of the institu-
ton planted trees there.
Charles A. Dana, the great editor, car
ried an acorn from the grave Of Con-
fucius and planted it there. One will
find a beautiful acacia, "that plant of
deep root" planted there by General
Grant. Two cedars of Lebanon. whose
ancestors furnished timbers for King
Solomon's temple, were planted and
thrive there, placed by Senators Hoar
and Evarts.
Standing in triangular position are
the "trees of the tragedians," Edwin
Booth, Edwin Forrest, and John Wilkes
Booth. Each selected the bald, or wa
ter cypress for his planting. Over in
the eastern part Of the garden is the
famous hornbeam. 1t covers one-tenth
of an acre of ground. 1t was planted
by Abraham Lincoln.
