arm.

suggested. That's the way with

1t was pathetic scene-the dark.

her husband, and Nincttc, lying
there SO white and helpless.
And suddenly Nothard knew how
impossible II would be to leave her
there all night with these people.
they would drive her mad with their
heartlessness and vulgarity, and with
pitiful incongruity Ninette's own
words came back to him.
"He had sort OF idea of bringing
me up as lady; my mother was a
lady!
Poor Ninette! Nobody had ever
called to Nothard for pity as she did
then, and with sudden resolution he
rose to his feet.
I've got a taxi waiting outside.
Help me carry her; III take her away
frem this house
The woman interrupted again
sharply.
And what about my money? How
Go know / shall ever see it"
She was not as utterly heartless
as she seemed, but life had dealt
hardly with her and the greatest
thing in the world, to her way OF
thinking, was money; money bought
beer and forgetfulness.
IF your husband likes to come
along with me III give him some
money! Nothard said harsf1ly. "On
condition you look after that poor
devil upstairs and behave yourselves"
Between them they carried Min

away again through the darkness.

EVERY fellow Of us wished Don
Marquis luck. That was our
professional jealousy" That was
our way of expressing 1t. And,
believe me, II every dramatic
critic wrote plays he'd learn a lot
about them and about their pres
entation. No "unproduced" writer
can imagine the difficulties, the
heartaches and the discourage.
ments that come with rehearsals,
changes Of lines and a thousand
other details of the preparing
play.
The dramatic critic who has
been produced at least knows the
weariness Of the way and the
agonies Of the preliminaries. He
Is all the better fitted for his job.
The old acid adage that a critic
was an unsuccessful novelist or
playwright has been shown to be
utterly false. Every critic should
be forced to write pays. and they
should be produced. The critic
without the produosd play should
be the rara avis.

Attendance Records
u High school stud are able to
maintain a much higher average
daily attendance than children in
the grades. This is due to the fact
that during the winter months the
weather often prevents the smaller
children from walking any long
distance to the rural schools OF

higher than the average daily at

county Of the United States. more
limestone has been used IN the county
than in any other of the same SIZE
in the state while Fulton county
farmers have adopted the practice ~
sowing a peck Of Japan clover on
every acre Of grass land each year
During the last three years these
three things have become common
farm practices, whereas they were
practically unknown before that time.
The recent tour. which was held by
County Agent q. l.. Cunningham FOR
the purpose Of showing Interested
persons what farmers of the county
were doing toward building up their
soils and carrying cut recommended
practices, covered a route of 80 miles
through the county and attracted
farmers from four adjoining coun.
ties. Fields Of alfalfa. Japan clover
and other clover were common along
the roads taken on the tour while
practically every field Of corn which
was passed had soybeans growing in
the same row with the corn
Placards were posted along the
line Of the tour 10 point out striking
things being done on the various
farms. On the farm Of Enoch Brown
near Fulton. a poster told passing
farmers that the entire farm had been
lined while another on the farm Of
Leslie Nugent, near Fulton. showed
that 100 acres Of the $50 in the farm
were growing legumes, Later during
the tour the farmers passed the farm
Of Drew Bacon, near Hickman. where
the total Of 800 acres Of corn ON the
farm had soybeans planted in the
same row with the grain. On the
farm Of Charles Alexander. near
Jordan. 800 acres Of the 400 in the
farm were found to be growing le-
gumes. Many other farms were
passed on which at least one or two
Of the three practices were being
carried out.

New lie will be put into worn

in the near future through the us'
Of winter cover crops which will b,
seeded this fall and turned under IL
the spring for the purpose Of adding
humus to the land. according TO X
=, Stephenson. coils extension speei-
alist Of the College Of Agriculture.
Rye will be the principal crop used
for this purpose. many farmers hav-
ing made arrangements 90 SOW the
seed as soon as their tobacco. soy
beans. cowpeas or corn are harvested.
Farmers who turn these cover crop,
under in the spring for green manure
will obtain a number Of benefits thru
the addition Of humus. which Is the
greatest single ncde of badly worn
soils. he declares.
Exhausted soils do not contain
the bacteria that live and multiply
in the presence " humus and add
life to fertile soils" Mr.. Stephenson
pointed out in explaining how the
depleted soils Of the state would be
benefited by cover CROPS that are
turned under. These bacteria
cause manure and crop residues TO
decay and give up the elements that
contribute toward crop growth In
addition. this process also makes the
mineral portions Of the soil more
available.
"Humus also performs OIL impor-
tant service in improving the physi-
cal condition Of the soil. Silos that
are rich in humus are mellow and
friable and till easily while the hum.
us also absorbs rainfall and holds Il
until times Of drouth. On the other
hand. this same material promotes
good drainage during times Of sur
plus much Of their fertility.
Perhaps the greatest value Of
humus comes from the plant food
il contains. Coming as il does from
the partial decay Of plant and animal
products, il contains the elements
such as nitrogen. lime. PHOSPHORUS
and potassium that are necessary be-
fore heavy yields can be obtained.

the reason they read about crime
and other sordid happenings. How
ever. the chief clerk believes any bad
influence that may be caused from
the reading Of crime is more than
overcome by the prisoners learning
Of the good in the world. while
they do read about crime" he said.
"they also read about the good things
in the world, too"
while the prison library contains
about $500 volumes, the eonvicts
show a preference for newspapers
over other forms Of literature. Mr..
Fuller said.
