English Women Buying Farms.

Women in England are buying their
own farms or their own truck and gar
den spaces in rather conspicuous num-
bers- And this is all an outcome Of
the tremendous work done by women
on the land during the war. The gen
eral feeling Is that there VIII not be
much room FOR the common female
farm labOrer as time advances. but for
the woman who has a little money and
Who looks upon farming as her pro
feSsiOn and her life work there is *
ceilent opportunity In this direction.
IN the first place, On account Of the
compact location Of the garden spaces
and the cities in England transports
ton Of fOOdstuffs IS easy. Then gar
den truck and flowers do grow sbun-
dainty and profusely there, and always
find ready markets

FIND MANY USES FOR PEAT
Wsrtorn Industry Gives Promise Of
Great Development in the
Years to Come.

The output Of peat In the United
States last year far exceeded that Of
any preceding year and the general
increase, which was stimulated By the
war. was shared by practically all
branches Of the industry. Though er-
tenSlyely used as fuel In Europe and
widely known in the United States as
potential source Of heat and power,
peat has been unable to compete with
coal and many peat operators have d.
rected their attention to the utilization
Of peat in agriculture with gratifying
results.
Peat fertilizer was first marketed in
commercial quantities in 1903. and
stock-fOOd peat in 1912. and though
there IS still some prejudice against its
use the agricultural branch Of the IN
dustTy has been successful and the
quantity Of fertilizer and stOck-foOd
peat annually produced Is increasing.
Large quantities Of these products
were made last year, but the most
striking development was the produc-
ton of more peat in the New England
States than has been manufactured in
The entire United States in all proceed
ing years. Almost equally striking
vas the widespread interest manifest
cd in peat resources which had been
generally regarded as Of doubtful
value.
Large quantities Of peat or sphag-
NUN moss were produced and utilized
for stable litter. packing material, and
surgical dressing, and several hun
bred thousand acres OF peat soils were
used for the growth OF crops. The
peat litter was produced By the OWL
ers Of small hogs for their own use.
but the packing material was sold
10 florists for s25 a ton. According
10 J. W Hotson Of the Red Cross
more than half million peat pads
were prepared in this country for that
organization. Most OF the moss was
gathered by volunteers from boys In
Washington, Oregon and Maine, and
the pads were used in military hos
pitfalls at home and abroad.

3 RURAL SCHUULS' FUTURES
IN BALANCE; PATRONS VOTE
(Contributed.) J

kOOu
On Monday, May 10 three districts
in Sumter county that were consoli-
dated with other school districts upon
their petition will hold elections. At
these elections the voters will deter
mine the question of consolidation or
no consolidation of their respective
districts.
This election is of much more con-
sequence to the people of these dis
tricts than any other recent election
for it determines the future pros
poets of their children. A great eff
fort has been made by the present
liberal-minded board of education to
promote larger and well graded
schools for Sumter county. These
splendid patriotic gentlemen have in
season and out of season contended
for the consolidation of Sumter S
schools so as to give to this section
the very best graded schools. Their
efforts have not always been appre-
ciated at the time, but with an eye
to the future for the children of the
county they have pursued the even
tenor of~their way and most benef-
cient results have followed.
In a few instances however, the
Little Red School House on the
Hill will still be preserved with all
its drawbacks and conservatism

SCOUTS Home
WITHLAURELS
Win Places In Four
Events At Macon
Encampment.

Tired but happy, and with more
honors than any other troop outside
OF Atlanta or Macon, more than 40
Americus Boy Scouts returned Sat
urday afternoon from Macon, where
they spent part of three days in the
first state scout rally.
''The boys had a great time" said
Scout Master Silas Johnson. "They
wouldn't have missed it for any
thing, and neither would |, despite
the fact that we didn't get much
sleep. The rain didn't bother US, as
the oply moisture we had from the
time we left Americas until we re-
turned was Friday when a slight
sprinkle fell.
'In the contests the Americus BOYS
did exceptionally well. They took
second in wall scaling, third in water
boiling and fourth each in equipment
and knot tying. In the wall sealing
event they came within half second
of the time made by the state cham
pions, Troop 7 of Atlanta, a troop
composed of large boys, old enough
to have to shave regularly We suf-
fered bad deal in the signalling
contest, being ruled out when we
appeared on the field with two flags
instead of four, when the previously
announced conditions did not specify
four flags. But we had a great
time, and every boy is glad he went. :"
Among the Scout encampment
notes in the Macon Telegraph Satur-
day morning were the following:
"a young war broke out in the
barracks yesterday afternoon when a
little red-haired Scout from Macon
decided to move the mattress of Silas
Johnson, scoutmaster of the troopers
from Americus, over to the place
where his troop was stationed and
swap it for one that was not quite
SO nice loking.
"Three Americas Scouts appeared
on the scene just as the swapping pro-
cess was in tne midst of execution
and then war ensued. When Mr..
johnson arrived of the scene of bat
tie, Charles Crisp Glover, Walter
Stapleton and Robert Culpepper, the
Americas Scouts had the little red
haired Scout seriously regretting his
act and pretty badly licked up.
1.-TWO of the interesting Scouts
from Americas are James Collins and
J. E. Kiker, who have won merit
badges for bird study. These two
young boys are experts on bird ques-
tions."

against the best thought and progress
of the century. The well graded
school with not less than $50 pupils
with at least four good teachers is
the boon to be sought, and this Sum-
ter county is surely going to have
sooner or later. The man who OPP
poses it will simply be crushed under
the wheels of progressive thought. 1t
can never be had however, until our
people are educated and enlightened
ON this greatest of all questions for
they themselves must bring it about.
This is a consumation devoutly to be
wished. 1t is worth all our best eff
forts.
A vote against consolidation is a
vote against giving children fair
chance in life. 1t is a vote against
highest and best principles of citi-
zenship. The small schools of the
country are the greatest hindrances
to the proper education of the chill
dren of the county. God grant that
the time will soon come when all the
schools of Sumter county may be con-
solidated into fine large well graded,
well taught high schools where our
children may be taught vocational
training, music, art and literature.
We never can have great schools
without consolidation of the small

NEWMAN CASE NEARING
END-ARGUMENTS NOW ON

The case of the state VS.. Carl New
man, charged with criminal assault
an Ruby Triplet of Lewiston, aged IA
years, at Howell, on the night of
September Z, is nearing its end. The
evidence was completed this fore
noon and Judge j. H. Forney made
the opening address for the state,
making a strong, clean and forceful
argument. Newman vas the last
witness called for the defense. He
admitted almost everything brought
out by the state except the actual
commission of the crime. This he
denied, but admitted being in the
party, being left alone in the a
with the Triplett girl and many other
points brought out by the state. He
admitted "scuffling" with her, but
denied any criminal assault. One of
the states most important witnesses,
Lulu Tubbs, who was with the party,
could not be secured. Charles Sum-
merfield, deputy sheriff, says he went
