rescued him, but the third time he
went down and he never came up.

a splash.

aboard the ship the next morning
and failed to make a report of Raj
ferty's being drowned, to the cap
tain Of the ship. When Rafferty's

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND THE MODERN HOUSEWIFE
Brothers Reunited
After Fifty Years
VIII Visit Sister

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 17.-Mrs.
Charles e. Fetzer has : received
word that her two brothers have
been reunited after fiftv years. The
two brothers, Gus and Richard War
ner, ran away from home in Angus
ia because their step-father ! at
them fifty years ago.
n GUS returned once forty years ago
and Mrs. Fetzer saw him them. He
then disappeared and nothing was
heard of him until Mrs. Fetzer re-
ceived letters from both of her
brothers telling f the reunion at
Bridgeport, Conn, where they were
both working for the same show.
Neither had used their family name
in the wander:rg-,. Gus was
known as Dutch Shoe Gus" and
Richard was known as Captain
Richard Ricardi, {, tanner of wild ami
mails. Gus was driver of one of his
brothers animal wagons when his
likeness to their mother was discov-
cred by Captain R,cardi. The lion
tanner engaTed in conversation with
the man and discovered his lLng lost
brother. This occurred last Thurs
day.
The two men will visit their sis
ter in the fall. They crossed each
others paths many times in their
long search and saw each other
many times but failed to learn they
were kin until Thursday. The, last
time Mrs. Fetzer saw Richard was
ten years ago i Savannah. She has
been constantly in communication
with him.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON,

this criminal goes scot free, because
people of his type do not propose to
remain in any sort of a prison, and
if he is thwarted he will kill again.
That's his style.
There seems to be an atmosphere
of morbidity around Atlanta, when
women attempt to cOndOne such
crimes by signing petitions for this
convicted assassin's escape from JUS
tice. There seems to be little atten-
ton paid to the orphan children of
Mr.. Walker and little or no sympa-
thy, for the widow whose home is
left desolate and no petition circu-
lated to assist either mother or chill
dren in their enforced poverty and
bitter orphanage.
Granting that the murderer is
youthful, it must also be conceded
that he was as rabid as a dog with
rabies in destroying human life. The
penitentiary is oVer-croWded. The
Estate is strained to the breaking point
10 care for lesser criminals than Du-
pre-. TO crowd in another so reckless
and regardless Of the rights of other
people would INDICATE some uneX-
planned sort of hysteria that would
coddle a mad dog when it was in
full action to kill and terrorize all
bystanders and helpless victims of
his bites.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW M SOULE

charge Of four counties each, and
five supervising agents. We fee
that the agents have accomplished
more successful work the past year
than ever before. This work is &C.
complished more nearly with groups
thus reaching a greater number by
the efforts put forth.
The farmers have shown much
better disposition in working with
the agents than previously, and this
is serving to broaden the useful
mes of the agents in many ways
and making of them instructors to
the farmers Gna boys With WNUm
they work.
The people are showing a readi
ness to group themselves in the ir.
terest of cooperation in the various
projects. This grouping serves to
reach a greater number, makes the
work more definite, and stimulates
closer attention to detail in both pro-
duction and marketing phases. Thus
the figures given below of the num-
Der of demonstrations conducted, do
not fully show the results Of the
agents work because many Of the
demonstrations are conducted for the
one farmer on whose farm the dem
onstration is conducted. For in
stance. on the program of work Of
q community council group there
would be twelve or fifteen farmers
who might want assistance in estab-
fishing a permanent pasture or a
home orchard or some other project.
The plan that is now being carried
out in many instances by the agents
is to have those interested in the
same project to select two or three
farms and have the demonstrations
conducted thereon during the yenr.
The others interested then get the
information from these demonstra-
tons, and in this way the agents
efforts reach a much greater num-
Der than would otherwise be the
case.
The following is a tabulation of
some Of the work by county agents
for 1921

LkT| AMERICAN
TRADE GROWING

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Latin-
American trade is clearly on the up
ward trend despite the sharp decline
in the flow of commerce between this
country and the southern republics
during the past fiscal year, accord
ing to survey Of the situation made
today by DR.. Julius Klein, director
of the bureau of foreign and 'domes-
tic commerce of the commerce de-
partment.
REIMBURSEMENT from abnormal con-
ditions, he found to be mainly re-
sponsible for the reduction Of Latin
American imports into the United
States from $1,131 100000 in 1921 to
1861, 100000 and the decline in ex-
ports to South America from $1,303,-
100000 in 1921 to $498 100000 in 1922.
The beginning of 1921 found on
hand in the United States large
stocks of raw materials coming from
Latin-America and during the period
of readjustment the consumption of
these stocks and the demand for new
| ones was slow. Like conditions pre-
vailed in Latin-America.
The beginning of the year found
! the merchants of that region over.
stocked with imported goods. AT the
same time there has been a lack of
demand in Europe, as we'll as in the
United States for their export COM
modities. This resulted not only in
reduced purchasing power of the peo-
pie, but tended generally to depre'
ciate the exchange value of their
currencies, which has temporarily
| hampered their buying.
| There are, however, many signs
which promise an early Improvement
in the situation. The Argentine
grain and hides exports have shown
a remarkable gain from January to
July, 1922, as compared with the
same period in 1921. The Brazilian
government recently re-inaugurated
the valorization of coffee purchasing
from the planters at prices which
bring a profit to plantation owners.
"In the summer of 1921 the for
eign consumers Of Chile's great ex-
port commodity, nitrate, held suffi-
Gent stocks to meet their needs for
a year. But this situation has
changed and Chilean trade is now
showing a steady improvement as
the result of the first appreciable
movement Of nitrate since 1920.
Similarly, the markets for prac-
tically all other Latin-American ex-
ports now show a decided improve
ment over those of a year ago and
our sales to the southern republics
have therefore been increasing stead
lily since October, 1921, when they
reached their lowest point in recent
years. Our exports to the ten re-
publcs of South America were on
the decline during the first six
months of 1921 but they increased
steadily during the first six months
of 1922"
