American rural and village life iy ex. pcriencing new era of neighborliness It began score of years ago. but re- ceived it's greatest impetus during and since the war. Well-housed rural clubs 'something almost unheard of few years ago-are springing up all over the coun- try. Because they mean so much to their neighborhoods, and because this neigh borhood movement contains so much of premise for the 50000,000 Americans who live in the country or in villages of less than 2,500, the United States department of agriculture has. sent representatives to learn first hand the history of nearly 300 of these clubhouses. The results of this investigation have been recently pub lished in a bulletin, Rural Community Buildings in the United States,' wtkch can be had at 10 cents copy by address ing a request to the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. c.
 This publication tells the extent of tht rural club movement, the character of the clubhouses, the uses to which they are put, how their erection was financed, and how they are managed. In addition, details are given regardind eight differ ent clubs, representative of as many dSf- ferent kinds of communities. How each solved it's particular building problems is explained.
 The majority of the structures visited were erected by popular subscription or by the sale of stock in a community or ganization. In some cases the projects were financed by local manufacturing concerns Other buildings were the gdts of public-spirted individuals. A few were erected by public funds raised through taxation or the sale of bonds In all cases the structures are the centers of a great variety of wholesome activi- ties such as communities without central meetings places can not enjoy. One even- ing building may be used for basket ball game, the next night for a neigh borhood dance, later in the week for political gathering, and on Sunday for union church services or union Sunday school. Any rural or semi-rural district interested in erecting clubhouse whether it is to cost s20Oo or $50.0G0-is expected to find helpful suggestions in this publication.
 Many of the simpler structures, located in the open countrq, contain an audi torium with movable seats which permit it to be transformed into a dining room, an athletic room or dance hall. Usually, also, there is stage and well-equipped kitchen. These features make possible banquets and entertainments which mean much in the life of rural communities.

Legal Standpoint of
 the Trial of Christ Is
 Sunday School Feature

Analysing from a legal standpoint and explaining the procedure of the srial of Christ before Pontius Pilate, and the court of trials of St. Paul and other great figures of the Bible, Is a feature Assistant City Attorney G. Lewis Bailes has intrsduced in the Sunday school class for men recently organized in the First Baptist Church.
 So much new light has<been thrown on these subjects by the clear thinking lawyer, and so intensely interesting have his lectures proven. that the new of fganization in the church. known as the Cosmopolitan Bible class, has al- ready attained a greater attendance than the Baraca class of seventeen years standing.
 The Cosmopolitan class was organ ized the first of this year by B. c. Cox. Capt. Lee Koenig and Harry Todd After forming it they sought for a nan to teach if who could put new zest into Sunday school work who oould attract thinking business men and in- terest them. They chose MT. Bai1es, who served as a first lieutenant with the overseas forces. and since his re- turn to this country has been added to the city's legal staff.

FOOD ORDINANCE WILL BE ENFORCED
Food Commodities Exposed for Sale Must Be Under
 Cover

With the adoption at the last meet ing of the board of city commissioners of the new food ordinance, pr. J. D. Bowling, city health officer. has com mensed his campaign for ridding the city of places of business that improp- erfy handle food or who sell adulterated foods.
 His first action will be against stores and markets that leave raw food ex- posed to dust, flies and the contamina- tion of other filth. The ordinance plainly states that all edibles shall be under cover, and that is where pr. Bowling and his inspectors are going , to see that they are put.
 Another phase of the food question the health department is preparing to investigate thoroughly and where guilty persons are found, institute pro- ceedings for punishment, is that of meat In particular the authorities consider obnoxious the practice of bar gain sales in second class and second hand meat. This Dr. Bowling says, consists in taking all sorts of meat, often seasoning it highly, weighing 1t with ground potatoes and other filler, and selling it as pork sausage. Some of these sales have offered this prod uct as low as from 15 to 20 cents a pound, and at such figures ready sale is usually made of stuff the health officials believe, is not fit for human use. Such goods when sold In competi- ton with similar appearing but whole some and genuine foods, is not only an injury to the public but unfair to the merchant who is selling honest wares. bt
 For some time, while the ordinance was being, prepared. the inspectors have been keeping tab on those who have been making the substitutes, and 1t Is the intention of the health department to get after them and immediately bring suit unless the practice is stopped.

 Plan of Action in Turkey
By Associated Press

LIVINGSTON

Livingston, March 1O.--(Special) )-State- ments of the five Sumter county banks published today make a fine showing, and indicate no scarcity of money in the county The combined capital stock paid in by the Eve banks is s147,6O0, while the individual deposit account shows $97S,594; the surplus fund, s56.753 IT. s. bonds, cer- tificates, etc, $119,s55. and undivided profits, $30,204.
 Nothing like this showing was ever con- templated, even in Sumters palmy days of cotton raising. Where she once got 30,C00 bales she now gets 5000, but in stead of cotton she has cattle and corn, hay and hogs, mares and mules, peanuts and prosperity.
 With this showing our people have been looking for the income tax man to come around and help them with their reports. but still he fails to come.
 James Dreever who was arrested here Ia few days ago on direct order of Superintendent of Banks Green of Mont gomery on a charge of violating the blue sky law, made bond signed by local peo- pie, and is here awaiting trial. Continued rains and the very worst weather conditions begin to make things look blue for the farmers. Hardly fur row has been run in any section of the county. This is going to throw things badly behind, as all planting and prepar- ing land will have to be done at one and the same time. The scarcity of labor will tell this season.

How to Control Mange.

Hog mango is spread mainly by direct bodily contact. according to recent inves- tieations. The disease is contracted most rapidly among hogs of low vitality, es- pecially those kept in small inclosures. 1t spreads more slowly among vigorous ani- mals kept in pastures or in clean, well- lighted. roomy pens or buildings. Failure by swine owners to control how mango results in heavy losses from shrinkage as well as from high death rate. The disease can be eradicated by four dippings in a lime-sulphur or arenical solution with intervals of six or seven days between dippings.
