hurried home Saturday of last week to get ready for cold weather. I had an exceptionally large amount of writing to do, but finally l got through with 1t and dug my sweet potatoes. There were not many of them, but they made up in quality what they lacked in quantity. Alto gether had one bushel. They were Porto Rico yams and grew from fifty slips. If l do not have too much company there will be enough to run me through the winter and for seed next year. What would need more for? The Wandering Fairy regu- Iates my crop yields to my personal needs. The potatoes had remained in the dry earth until they had begun to sprout In the sweet potato houses they fire them until they sprout, so l suppose they were just right for digging. That is not all. Wanda permitted COW or cows to get in and eat the vines for me, so l was not troubled with removing them It only took me an hour to dig them. How 10 Glue ReaI Aid 10 the Famine

 In my childhood days my father and mother did their best to get me 10 eat corn meal mush and milk, but they did not commence in time 10 succeed. My father informed me that when he was a small child in Ken lucky that the small children all had to eat mush and milk, but 1 guess the grown folks had to too, for l have al- ways observed that the children eat just what the grown-ups do when they eat at the same table. A result of this and to the additional fact that their corn grew on a limestone soil was that the children of Ken lucky made large robust men and women. l know of one man, whom his neighbors wanted to report to the Humane Society for cruelty to his children because he limited them to corn meal mush and milk, but they were so fleshy and healthy look ing that they said: Whats the use? If we were to report him the society would not believe us because the children are so healthy looking" The result was that the leader of the movement turned in to feeding his children on mush and milk and now they are as healthy looking as were the neglected children. Here is my idea for the children of the old world
 we have plenty of corn and it is dirt cheap, send it over to the old country and let the children eat of 1t and become robust and healthy. After that we will always have an un- limited market for our surplus corn.
 Once in awhile l run across a per son who gives as a reason for not taking the Pulaskian, q read the Ga zette." This is always said in such a tone as 10 be real insulting and in- sinuates that the speaker would be disgraced for life if she were to read the Pulaskian. Last week 1 met H. 5. Andrews, proof reader, and the em- ploye who holds the record of being the longest in the service of the Ga zette of any one, and he remarked: T am living in the country now and intend to identify myself with the country, so of course 1 want the Pu- laskian,' and gave me his subscrip- tion for a year.
 I stopped in at one of the finest new homes on the Hot Springs pike and found it occupied by some of the incest people of the county, B. C. West and family. 1 asked Mir. West if he wanted the Pulaskian. With out giving him time to speak, Mrs West remarked to him: ''Yes, take it, we want to encourage every enter prise for the upbuilding of the coun- try" So MT. West gave me his sub- scription, and calling his charming daughter, who Is his secretary, to give me check for 1t.
 D. Y. Turley passed me on the road on his way home from Little Rock, stopped and invited me to spend the night at his home, as I never had, and give him a chance to advance his subscription.
