"The correspondent rushed to a

he was faced by sword and quickly

"When the man begged again Tor
water, for Gods sake young wo'

"I'll see you in hell before you get

"The men apparently had been drag

is some miles from the town of Meridian. Besides belonging to canning club, poultry club, and a dairy club all at the same ime, Nonie earns money to pay for her own clothes, books, az high-school tui- tion,. although she leaves home before 6 in the morning to attend school and returns after at night.
 She is Is, and the eldest of seven children. Her mother and the other children do farm work, while the father works in the shops at Meri- dian. Three years ago, about the time Nonie first went into club work, she also started going to high school Tn Meridian. She has ot go to and from town with her father every day.
 The home demonstration agent suggested that the time Nonie had to wait before and after school might be spent in the extension office in the courthouse. For the past three years Nonie has been doing this. She stud ies her lessons first and then puts her spare time to good use making pine needle baskets, an art learned at the State short course in 1919. During the past nine monthsNonie has made and sold $32 worth of baskets. At the Meridian fair she won first and sec ond prizes on her basket exhibit. At the Jackson State fair she won sec ond prize, and the art exhibit of the state federated clubs held in Jackson, she won second place.
 All Nonie's club activities must be carried on either before 6 in the morning or after 6 at night. This means caring for her garden, doing her canning, caing for her poultry and calf when the average girl of 15 would consider herself entitled to a little recreation.
 While the Department of Agricul- ture does not want to encourage club members to carry on their work un- der difficulties similar to those en- countered by this Mississippi girl, it is interesting to note that club work

and information secured as to acces- sibility, freight rates, and other fac tors. This information is of perman- ent value as supplies are rarely ex- hausted. By furnishing contractor information as to the location of satisfactory materials one element of risk is removed, and some of the States report that they have definite proof that such service has resulted in decreased bids.
 The Bureau of Public Roads in the course of it's operations has tested some 5000 samples of rock, sand, gravel, and slag, and reports are available giving the location from which the sample was taken together with results of tests. There are now 68 laboratories engaged in testing road materials, and data is being rapidly accumulated even in States that are not at this time making an intensive survey.
