Senator emmett also urged passage
of the bill. He referred to Liberty
bonds issued during the war now SELL
ing around 80 owing to the money
stringency. He said the people are
now paying 20 per cent. for making
the world safe for Democracy. The
vote was then taken and as stated
was unanimous. The effect of the
bill, if it becomes a law, will be to
hold up state bond issues for a year
or two at least and may seriously in
terfere with highway building and
other State improvements, including
new schools. Par cannot be obtained
for public offerings of five per cent.
bonds, when Liberty bonds are selling
at below 500, and it may be several
years before par will be bid for 5 per

The Chautauqua Association have

yesterday afternoon for their eighth
annual meeting in Smyrna. Last
evening, besides the musical program,
Chancellor Bradford, one of the big

The guarantors fell. considerably
short in selling the entire quota of
tickets this year, especially in the
country districts. Farmers without
help were too busy to attend. There
are however over 200 guarantors and
it is figured they will be called upon
for nominal sum, between IS cents
and $1.O0 each to make up the de-
iciency.

BAR ON STATE SECURITIES

Cannot be Sold Below Par or More
Than Per Cent by Senate Bill
Without a dissenting vote the Sen
ate Thursday afternoon passed Sena-
tor Allee's bill to prohibit the sale of
State, county or school bonds below
par or at a greater rate of interest
than five per cent. Senator Long first
asked that the bill be laid over for
day until he could study it more close
ly, but later after a conference at his
desk with several other Senators
withdrew his request and supported
the bill when the vote was taekn.
Senator Alice, in urging the passage
of the bill stated that the only criti-
cism that he has heard against the
measure was of the possible effect
that it would have on the credit of
the State. He said he could not see
how the credit of the State would be
endangered by going on record before
the world that its paper could not be
bought for less than its face value
five per cent. when the money market
rights itself and conditions become
normal. Senator Alice contended the
bill will automatically become inoper-
ative. In conclusion he said, owe are
in precarious condition and it's time
to stop going into debt for improve
ments that can easily ayait a year
without doing any injury either to the
State or it's people,"

 It is time now, or soon will be to transplant your plants in the garden or in the field
 Your one tenth acre may be 33 feet wide, and l32faet long, have it plowed deep and well, every inch of it, disk ard harrow until the soil IS fine and loose.
 Mark Rour ground off in four foot rows. Every three feet in the row dig a hole q foot square and prepare to set a plant by working 2 shovel full of we'll rot ted manure and one pint of com mercial ferti1z. r Gt you have it) into the soil. Mix it well so the roots may sDrea1 all through e soil.
Cleveland County herald., 1920-03-18

Put your tomato plants down deep within just the top leaves above the ground. When you nave planted 364 tomato plants three feet apart in four foot rows you have one-tenth of an acre.
 If you have raised your plants in tin cans, set these in water until the soil slips easily out of the cans; if in the bed, wet tht r oughly before taking up plants. Pour water around the plants when set out, but put dry soil on top.
 Sincerely yours, oaIii,. Mai Hudson.

Robert Nathan, who takes life at liar
 ward as his theme, and whose hero also dabbles in marriage and radicalism. He also finds human society to be
 badly arranged and conducted.
 All of this youthful literature sounds the same note Formal education, it
 says, is a hollow farce and love is
 mercenary fizzle. The same idea in a slightly different form runs through Eugene O'NeiFs famous play, "Hori-
 zons." Although a few years older
 than the novelists, O'NeiI cannot have
 been more than g or 24 when he wrote
 his play, for he was a long time get
 ting it produced. It is the story of
 an aspiring young man isolated on
 typical American farm. His hopes are
 crushed and he is finally killed by the
 routine of labor and the restrictions of
 marriage. O'Nen joins Nathan and
 Fitzgerald in saying that organized
 society meets the youth of imagination
 and ideals with a club.
 Does Early Budding Bear Fruit? It is a widely held popular idea that the prococious young person is a weed of rank and brief growth-that he is apt to run his course quickly. But
 no scientific support can be found for this notion. Francis Galton in his study of hereditary genius records l that a large number of the worlds
 great creative minds showed their abil- ! ity al an early age. Donaldson in his Growth of the Brain" says that an early development of mental power
 usually indicates also a capacity for prolonged growth. These young men i have the very best of opportunities l for high and long-continued achieved ment. The greatest danger to which they are exposed, so far as genuine | achievement is concerned, IS that the commercial publishing interests will i thwart their development by inducing i them to do cheap and hasty work. This ] is the process which has ruined more writers in America than any other. i What scientific literature we can 1 find on precocity and mental develop l ment also knocks a hole in another popular idea-that hard work will ac complish almost anything in the way | of development The authorities are l agreed that the quality of a mans achievement depends far more on the l innate character of his brain cells than on his education, training or effort toward lf-improvement. It has long
 been the custom to point out to young
