 I was struck with one thing about Mrs. Dickson--the quiet way she does things, This in itself showed how valuable an example she is to the six small 'personages' who look to her for happiness--as well as the new commissioner.

LEGION AFFAIR SUCCESS
Interesting Programme Carried Out
 at Gadsden Banquet

Gadsden, November 2.-(Special. J. The banquet at the Hotel Printup last evening, given by the American Legion, was a very enjoyable affair, and the members of the legion were highly appreciativet of the large num- Der of women present. Stewards or chestra furnished music for the oc- casion, and among the singers were Mrs. Harry Disque, Mrs. Fayette Sutherlin, Mrs. Otis Wragg and Messrs. Brown and Cox. A short but very interesting talk was made by Mrs. Greet in behalf of the woman s auxiliary, who pointed out the great reason why the women should CO., operate with the legion.
 Short talks were also made by General Sibert, Commander Thomp- son and W. D. Kenamer. Dr. S. A. Hodges of Anniston made the address of the evening.
 During his speech he recounted his experiences in tour of the old bat uefields of the recent war, and told of the rapid strides that were being made in France toward the recon struction of the battle-scarred land.

 This was remarkable to me in a child as youthful as he is. But as said before, MT. and Mrs Dickson are literary people; work hard and do their work conscientiously, and 1t was not surprising that their chill dren are following them in earnest ness of purpose.
 Such pretty thing Mrs. Dickson said to me as left her.
 There are hundreds of people in Birmingham, thousands of whom probably have things that would like to own, but were I to have the opportunity~of them all and the con tract be that I must exchange the children for them, nothing could com pensate me for the loss of my chill dren. They are the greatest treas ures God gives out of all his vast store of beautiful things"
 MT. and Mrs. Dickson have owned their home for l years. They believe in opening its doors to others, and Mrs, Dickson thinks that each family should reside within it's actual, pri- vately owned house and garden"

FARN PROGRAMME

More Fertile Soils and Betted Profits Expected In
 Limestone

Athens. November 2.-(special,- The first act in the ambitious safe and more profitable farming pro- gramme, outlined here several weeks z ago by Nthe Limestone County Farm bureau, has been presented on the agricultural stage of the county, and clearly indicates that the Limestone tarmers are in for not only more profitable farming immediately, but to improve the fertility of their farms to make them more profitable and valuable in the future.
 The Limestone County Farm bu- reau was organized here less than nve months ago, and one of the first problems taken up by the board of directors, with County Agent Fred Stewart as consulting special ist, was that of soil improvement. A definite programme was arranged and plans outlined for putting 1t into practice. For the purpose of placing the programme before the farmers of the county series of six agricul- tural short courses was held, and as direct result the farm bureau mem bers have already bought co-opera- lively 400 tons of ground agricul- tural limestone, one car of phosphate and s2000 worth of fall seeds of va rious kinds.
 Realizing that it Is never safe to start with a new crop on a large scale, most of these fall crops. con sisting of alfalfa, crimson clover, bur clover and vetch, are being used for demonstration purposes by having small acreage on each of many farms of the county. At the last meeting of the board of directors, County Agent Stewart reported the follow faI crimson clover 200. bur clover 100, hairy vetch 5. In addition, the usual acreage in oats, rye and wheat has been planted.
 The Limestone County Farm bu- reau has also taken a very important step toward the cooperative mar keting of the crops of the county, and this step Is expected to grow Into greater things In the future.

Jim Starts His Law Library

For $200 Jim Mullen could buy the small but very well se- lected library of lawyer who had recently died. The books were just such as Jim would need when he opened his own office.
 He was desperately anxious to have them, but out of his salary as law clerk he could never have bought them.
 It was Trustees System that put the purchase within his power. For although he had not S200 he had a regular salary, and could easily set aside enough to meet s200 loan in twelve monthly installments. On that basis Trustees System, true to its name for helpful service, let him have the money satisfied, for security, with Jim's job and his reputation for honesty.

PRESERVING EGGS WITH LIME
AND WATER GLASS FOR HOME

Tests which involve the use of
water glass and limewater for the
preservation of eggs for home use
have been carried on by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They show that either water glass
will preserve eggs successfully, and
that while water glass is usually
easiest to use and ordinarily gives
better results. limewater is a much
cheaper preventative. 1t was found
that lime water without salt gave
slightly better results as a preser-
tavive than where salt was used.
Air Stacked lime did not give as sat
isfactory results as where lump
lime was tested. Galvanized recep-
catelwerse
tacles were used successfully for
lime water tests; the pals were
thoroughly coated with melted part
affin previous to their use with the
solution. Tests in which eggs were
wrapped in tin foil and wax paped
and kept in an open cellar or room
were not at all satisfactory. AL
though the tin foil redured evapor-
alton to a. negligible quantity, the
eggs developed extreme mustiness
within a short time.
