FINE SERVICE.

During the holidays the postoffice
at this place was swampt with busi-
ness. Thousands of packages coming
in and going out were handled besides
tons of post cards, Christmas cards,
letters and the regular second class
mail. For two or three nights the
clerks worked from five to eight
o,,rs overtime in order to assert the
mail and get the packages delivered.
Sunday and Christmas Day the win
dow at the postof1ice was open most
of the time in order to give the pat
rons of the Office an opportunity to
1T their Christmas mail.
,aster Moore and his corps of
clerks deserve great credit for the
splendid way in which thew served the
patrons of the Office during the holi-
days. There never was time when
rcnre mail was handled at the Office.

terest of the community club. Anoth-
er feature which ought to mean more
to the country boy and to the develop
ment of future leadership and rural
organization is the opportunity these
clubs offer their members in social
contact, wholesome play and fun.
The community club offers the
county agent his best opportunity aid
affords him the best machinery for
carrying his program of work and in
struction to the boys and to the COM
munity. By attending the club meet
ings county agents can instruct the
boys in every phase of their club
activities, such as the county club
camp, the boys vacation short course,
the community and state fair.
After carefully observing the op-
GRAFTON of these clubs for the past
three years, it is evident to me that
there are three essential factors in
volved in their success: (1) a defin-
ite program of work that will appeal
to the country boy; (2) the enthu-
siastic leadership and contact of the
county agent and teachers; (3) a
capable community club leader who
and appreciates boys and
who will thoroughly familiarize him
self with the program of work There
is no more inviting field of leader
ship to be found anywhere than that
of the Boys Community Agricultur-
al Club.

CITIZENS WAR
ON PIGEONS
State Board of Health Orders Our
Pigeons Shot-Says They Are
Filthy and a Nuisance.

The city marshal received orders
from the State Board of Health
recently to have the pigeons shot
that nest about the court house. The
order says "they are filthy" and
nuiance. Accordingly a dozen men
deputized to be at the court house at
5 o'clock sharp Monday morning,
Dec. 25, for the purpose of carrying
out orders from the health board.
The following gentlemen were dep
utized: DR.. Eugene Bramlett, Gar
land Kimmons, Tom Metts, Oscar
Douglass, Lex Ramey, Wiley Chand-
ler, Thomas Yates, H. Rowland, DR..
J. G. Culley, DR.. Guyton, Harry
Bryant, DIR. Whit Rowland, G. G.
Greenacre, Judge Falkner. All Of
these men were not present, but there
must have been dozen of them on
hand with their doublebarreled and
automatic shot guns.
Not since the days of Ga were there
such shooting as was on the main
square of the city Christmas morn
ing. More than six hundred shots
were fired and more than a hundred
cons were killed. 1t was great
sport, and being Christmas little care
was exercised as to "direct" aim.
The shoot was resumed at five
o'clock Monday afternoon when it
seemed that Grants armv had again
charged the city, but the pigeons had
not forgotten their experience of the
early hour and the birds sailed high
in the air.
The "officers" had strict orders not
to shoot bird only while it was fly
ing.
The State board will probably is
sue orders to clean up the court house
floor and yard, which is the sub
iect of much discussion since the mat
ter of shooting the pigeons came
UP.

SHORT TALKS ON RETAIL
SELLING.
(By RALPH L. WOOD.)
INCLUDING SALES.

The question of includino sales is
one on which opinions differ accord
ing to the class of the store. By in
ducing sales is meant doing more
than serving the customer with the
articles asked for; for instance, lead
ing her to buy larger quantity than
the original purchase, or something
besides that purchase, or successfully
urging the customer to accept some
thing more or less against her incli-
nation. Not very long ago the abil-
ity to induce sales was considered
the prime qualification of good
salesman. Then it was necessary to
let nobody get away without buying
something, while to be able to sell
more than the customer wanted to
h,lv vast genius. Today the bes
merchants have a clearer vision. They
do not look upon each purchase as
the last that customer is to make;
they know their mission as agents OF
exchange. They know that the
customer who is entirely satlsfled
with herself and remains so after she
has reached home with exactly what
She required and with nothing that
She wishes she had not bought is the
customer that will return. 1t is hu-
man nature not to blame ourselves as
readily as we blame others, and
customer who has purchased some
thing that she has any reason Tor re-
GREETING will shun the store that made
her dissatisfied.
But there are times when inducing
sales is both wise and profitable.
When it is probable that something
that harmonizes with the purchase
already made, and which would set it
off to advantage, has not been thought
of by the customer, it is perfectly
right for the salesman to suggest it.
This suggestion not only. makes the
sale, but often icreases the customer
with the stores efficiency and the
salesman's alertness in her interest.
But the suggestion should not be
pressed, if the customer does not re-
ceive it we'll.

IMPORTANCE OF
B0YSCLUB WORK


Mr.. F. J. Hurst, Assistant District
Agent of South Mississippi, in
charge of Boys Club Work, in calling
the public's attention to the Boys
Club Enrolment Campaign, January
LIS, spoke in part of the import
ance of the work as follows:
"Boys' Club Work presents q splen-
did opportunity to farm boys for de-
finite agricultural training and is do
ing much to help and encourage
farm boys. 1t should continue to re-
ceive enthusiastic cooperation of all
of our educational forces and civic
organizations, the public press, busi-
ness men and bankers and the public
generally.
of cooperation between the farm boy
and his County, State, and National
Government. Everv bov who joins
the club pledges himself to under
take and carry out a definite farm
task; the Government agrees to as
sist him in this undertaking. In the
crop clubs the boys agree to take a
definite amount of land, plant it in a
specified crop, work it according to
the most approved methods, keep an
accurate record of his work and sub
NIT this cost record of production and
make exhibits of his product. In the
livestock clubs, certain breeds of ami
mails are selected and are bred, fed
and cared for according to instruct
ions and records are kept. In this
plan of work specific information and
correct and adequate instruction is
necessary. In the crop clubs the
selection and preparation of the soil,
the selection of varieties and seeds,
plans and methods of planting, kind
and amounts of fertilizers to use,
cultural methods, cost records, di-
sease control, field selection of seeds,
harvesting, selection and preparation
of exhibits; and in the livestock club,
the selection of breeds and of indi-
vidual animals, the problem of feeds
and feeding, pastures and pasturing,
cost records, fitting and finishing for
market or fairs are definite problems
that require information.
The county agent, leader of the
boys and local representative of the
Government, is a trained farmer, a
graduate Of the A. & M. College, a
man in constant touch with our ex-
pertinent stations and well versed in
the best practices of the most sue
cessful farmers in the State and is
in a position to give the Club Boys
the best information possible on all
Of these problems. This plan con-
meets the country boy with our chief

sources of information and makes
it possible for him, through the county
agent, to draw on the vast fund of
information possessed by the United
States Department of Agriculture, our
State A. & M. College, State Expert
ment Stations, and successful
farmers.
This well laid plan of agricultural
training has been rich in results. 1t
has placed pure bred hogs on thous-
ands of Mississippi farms and i'm
proved our livestock industry. 1t has
increased crop yields and lower cost
of production. 1t has taught the
principle of soil building and made
richer lands. 1t has demonstrated
better methods of cultivation and in
creased the profits from the wise use
of fertilizers. Boys Club Work is
not only helping to grow better live
stock and raise bigger and better
crops but it is producing big crop
of finer farm boys. Club boys have
new vision Of country life. They
are taking an added interest in the
problems of the farm, the home and
the community.
In Boys Club Work the Boys
Community Agricultural Club is the
unit of organization. AS soon as the
boys are enrolled in the various clubs
(corn, cotton, sweet potato or pig)
they all unite in forming community
agricultural club. A president and
secretary are selected from the MEM
bers of the club, while the club leader
is usually principal Of the school or
other interested community leader.
The community club holds regular
'onthly meetings at which time
they discuss suggestive programs,
transact such business as pertains to
the welfare of the club and engage in
wholesome play and fun.
The Boys Community Agricultural
Club is the basis of all successful or
ganized club work. Our best work
has always been in those counties
that have well organized, active
community clubs. They facilitate
contract Of the county agent, club
leader and specialist with the club
boys; the members have the advant-
age of the instruction and inspira-
tion that comes from personal con-
tact with these trained leaders as
we'll as others whom they have at
their meetings; while they also profit
from study Of bulletins, circular let
ters of instruction, and farm papers,
preparatory to participating in the
discussions. Field demonstrations in
terracing, pruning and snraying fruit
trees and other practical demonstra-
tions under the leadership Of the
county agent are interesting fea-
lures Of these community club meet
ings. An occasional nicnic. fsh
trip, or hunt, under the leadership Of
the club leader adds much to the in

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash ii with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and entire
ly greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
of Mulsified will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive OIL The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and few ounces is en-
ough to last everyone in the family
for months.
Be sure your druggist gives you
Mulsified. advertisement

shoulders and blonde head anywhere,
Sally began to feel happier. Surely
he would have been there by that
time. if he meant TO come, she told
herself, eager to believe that her
hopes were facts.
The house had formerly been the
residence of one of the wealthy fam
lilies of the countryside, and when pur-
chased by the club, some so years be-
fore, its stately furnishings had been
left intact. The result was both
charming and unique, setting the club
apart from even the most expensive
of the newer clubhouses, and making
even the nouveau richie of its mem
bership list feel that they belonged
among the first families.
Tonight the long ballroom, with its
cleaning crystal chandeliers and mir
rored walls, threw the crowd into
vivid silhouette against its white pan
elled walls 1t was a gay crowd as
well as a brilliant one. The members
of a house-party, returning late from
a drag hunt, appeared in their riding
clothes, the women slight and boyish
looking in coats and trousers, the men
in the vivid scarlet coats that became
most of them surprisingly well. A
group of hilarious young people in
somewhat bedraggled white linen and
sneakers, returning late from sail,
arrived shouting with laughter and
Immediately repaired to one of the
wide verandas, where they could tod
die to their hearts delight far re-
moved from the disappearing eyes of
the dowagers. And the others, more
conventionally clad, gave to the mir
rors a shifting. colorful pageant car
ried along by the beating rythm of
the music.
AS the old grandfather's clock in the
hall tolled off the hours, Sally grew
happier; she told herself that Keith
Gilbert must have been governed by
an unprecedented wave of common
sense, or that something had occurred
to prevent his coming to the club.
And then he came, shortly after mid
night. He danced with the girl who
had introduced him to Sally thai
morning under his newly assumed
name, and then came over to her. She
did not want to dance with him; she
wanted to run away and hide, or tC
appeal to omeone-anyone- help
But she found herself swinging down
the long room a moment later, in the
newest and most absurd variation Of
movement that was called dancing
And presently they were on the yer
anda. with other curiously moving fig
ures all about them. The music stop
ped for an instant. then began again
in response 10 vigorous applause. The
bobbed-haired flapper next to Sally
threw both arms around her partner
neck and laid her cheek against his
shoulder which she was barely tai
