The saying is trite but altogether
true that the farm production is the
foundation of all prosperity. No

the better and more productive the
farmers are the more all business

If the constitutionalty of Tennes-

that in voting for it, the members did
deadly violence to their oaths Of Of

oldest of Columbia's lawyers this
morning, and am convinced that the
courts will decide against the ratiflca-

an absolute bar to ratification by this
legislature. | have examined the legal
authorities and have been so interest

The resolution is going to be at
tackled in the courts and believe that
the lawyers here and elsewhere who
believe in the constitution and the
sanctity of mems oaths should tender
their support and cooperation to the
ether lawyers of the state. 1t is a
grievous thing for men in the legisla-

state as scrap of paper, and am
delighted as Maury countian that

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 21.-For
longevity as seamstress and skill
in handling the needle, Mrs. Robert
I.unsford, 80 years old, who resides on
the Bethel road, near this city, is en-.
titled to the palm.
For the past 25 years Mother Luns,
ford has been using the same needle
in her sewing, and she has done lot
Of it. 1t is estimated that she has
used thread enough to reach from Lex.
ington to Cincinnati and back, almost
300 miles. And this same needle has
passed through hundreds of lards of
cloth. The needle, of course, was
made years ago of the finest steel in
the days of good material and careful
workmanship, and shows little signs
Of it's long use.
When it comes to completing we'd
ding dress in three days without the
aid of modern sewing machines, the
ladies again must yield the palm to
Mother Lunsford. She made the we'd
cling dress worn by her granddaugh-
ter, Mrs. Carl Henderson, who was
recently married in just. that time,

COUNTY SCHOOLS

MENT OF MORE TEACHERS.

Practically all of the elementary
schools of the county both white and
negro have opened their terms and
are now running smoothly, The en-
rollment and attendance at some Of
the schools is much larger than had
been expected. One of the big prob
lens that the county board will have
before it when it meets In September
will be the employment of additional
teachers at some of the schools where
the enrolment is larger than antici-
pated when the size OF the faculty
was fixed.
At Enterprise fourth teacher will
be absolutely necessary, due to the
fact that the enrolment on the first
day of the school was 10 and this will
be increased next week to 125 or 1870,
altogether too many for three teach
ers where ten grades are taught, as
is the case in this school. The same
congested conditions are reported
from other sections.
The county court pledged itself, to
levy tax sufficient to pay the teach
ers an increase In salaries of twenty
five per. cent, but made no provision
for extra teachers. The board, there
fore, has to go slow in appropriatins
money, as 1t has never exceeded its
budget .... -...tl ......

This MEANS commented Miss
Florence e. Ward, in charge of the
departments extension work with wo.
men, that even though the farm
home be provided with a motor car
and telephone (62 per cent have mo-
tor cars and " per cent have tele-
phones) the farm family may be oblig-
ed TO act unaided in case of sickness,
childbirth or serious accident"
What this means to farm mothers
is Indicated by the recently publish
ed reports of special, field agents OF
the children = bureau on maternal and
Infant welfare in rpral areas in widely
Separated states. B II gg,5 II
Scarcely mother in any of the ru-
raj areas studied had prenatal care
easnYing UP to an accepted stand,
ard of adequacy, and more than three
fourths had no medical supervision or
advice" stated Miss Julia Lathrop, of
Chicago, chief of the children's bu-
reau, in her annual report to congress.
THE waste of woman power is one
OF the greatest menaces to the rural
life of the nation" according to de,
auctions drawn by the specialists of
the department from study of the
survey. Although compared with
even ten years ago the returns show
a change for the better, the burden is
still far greater than the strength of
the average woman can long endure"
What is to be done about it? The
suggests some definite
things The real task is to convince
the man of the family that the farm
house should be as well equipped as
the up-to-date barn.
THE farmer comments Miss
Ward, usually considers modern |
farm equipment as so much currency !
with which to buy efficiency. OF the
total number answering the question,
is per cent reported power for oper.
Gting farm machinery. When we con-
sder that it is simple matter to |
connect the engine used at the farm |
With household equipment, it seems
singular fact that but 20 per cent |
Of the farm homes reporting have this
advantage. Power for such frequent
y recurring tasks as churning and !
Using the washing machine would
greatly relieve the farm woman,
Running water is the pivot upon
which such modern conveniences de-
bends. Of those reporting only per
:ent of the homes have running water,
Is per cent have water in the kitch-
ms only. In 81 per cent of the homes
nto which water must be carried this
york is done by women"
OF 6,7S4 women answering the ques.
ion only 20 per cent had bath rooms
n their homes.
