A public library is not a luxury, nor Is It for the cultured few. It a great, broad benefaction the people's university.

Without effort on the part of the parent, they are -kept off the street and from evil influences and are storing their minds with useful knowledge, or taught high ideals and noble purposes. The tendency to read inferior books can soon be checked by a good library. Mrs.

8. A.

Mr. Trollope will be assisted by Joe Simon and others. At each of these meetings, moving picture Aims are shown which carry out the idea of the program. If you are interested in poultry, you should make your plans now to attend. I believe that poultry will pay the biggest dividend on the amount invested of any phase of farming if it is handled properly.

The three most important factors to bme considered in making poultry a success Is, well bred birds; that is, a strain that Is bred to lay, proper housing, proper and regular feeding. Several farmers in this eounty are planning to get a start into the poultry business this county are planning to get a start into the poultry business this spring. Some by buying baby chicks and some by buying pullets. Mr. C.

B. Green at Jones Mill made a very successful start last spring. Be bought 500 baby chicks on March 10th. He lost only 10 per cent which was much above the average. He raised this high percent by being right on the job and following instructions given him by poultry specialists and County Agent When the chickens were eight weeks old, Mr.

Green sold 194 cockerels for $119.00. This $119.00 paid for the baby chicks, feed, equipment, up to that time, leaving the pullets clear. These pullets were fed and cared for properly and began laying in June and steadily increased in production until September. During September he sold $106.00 worth of eggs, realizing $60.00 profit above feed cost. Each month Mr.

Green has realized a nice income above feed cost. Mr. Green has become a poultry enthusiast. I would like for you to visit Mr. Greens place and see his flock, poultry house, and talk with him about his poultry NOTICE I wish to call the Ttxpayen attention to that section of the Ooda where it says, 'The tax eo fleeter must have his Delinquent Docket ready to turn in to the Probate Judge not later than March 1st Heretofore I have toiled to do this and has caused the assessor a lot of trouble in the way of having a lot of land double assessed.

This does not mean that your land will be sold as you have 30 days in which to pay this tax before it will be advertised for sale.

Pleasant community on Monday, January 31, aged 70 years. The funeral took place at the family cemetery near his late home on Wednesday. Mr. Scott had been in ill health for several months and for several weeks his condition had been such as to partially prepare his family and friends for the event. Mr.

Scott had resided at Mount Pleasant for many years, extensively and successfully engaged in planting. He was the eldest son of the late Major Charles L. Scott, a lawer of prominence, a former member of congress and United States Minister at Carcas, Venezuela. He inheirted many of the qualities that distinguished his honored father, but was content to confine his activities to the quiet walks of private life. He is survived by his wife, two sons, Maj.

Charles Scott of Washington, D. for many years in the military service of the United States, and Mr. George Scott of Mt. Pleasant, three daughters, Mrs. E.

New Yak. When It rains youngsters crowd the subway and elevated exits, crying "Umbrella 1 Umbrella The rain protectors are not for sale. Those who, lacking a raincoat or their own umbrella, wish to get home dry are escorted by the boys, who guarantee to shield them on the way. Then they qnlckly return to their post at the station to wait for more customers. The boys themselves are safely clothed against the rain.

Some of those who have made a little profession of It are well equipped to stand not only the water bat the eold. They wear overshoes and sometimes rubber boots reaching to the knees. Taking a hint from the police officer, they cover their heads with large-sized caps of rubber or rubberized doth, generally with a wide flap on the back to cover the neck and part of the shoulders. Some can afford raincoats, but others must be content with last year's tattered overcoat, which they button up to the chin for further protection. The item of the umbrella, however, Is the most important, and some boys have been known to resort to various tricks in order to keep the family umbrella handy for their business.

As soon as the first patter of rain is heard on the window pane the house umbrella disappears, and so, coincidentally, does the boy. Alt of a sudden youthful "appointments have to be kept; school supplies have to be bought or Important errands carried out The boy makes a mad dash for the nearest elevated or subway station, for a very essential point is to heat the others to the spot If rain has been falling all day, business cannot be so good, for most of the travelers have already provided themselves with protectors, but when it starts to rain toward the end of the afternoon, at the height of the evening rush hour the youngsters are assured plenty of customers. Sometimes the rain plays tricks on the young business men it comes down In fitful, short-lived squalls that drench the streets for a few minutes and soon die away. At such times the boys are left holding the bag, or, more properly, the umbrella. Although the trade is mostly limited to boys, girls have followed the example of their mothers in entering the professions of, men.

Occasionally one or more of them take their posts with the boys and quite successfully compete 'with them.

TIME TO QUIT BLOWING IN" OUR HARD-EARNED MONEY-FOR BOUGHT FOOD. Atlanta, Ga.

(Speoial.) "There is a great big bole in the Souths farm pocket that lets out our farm money as fast as tt comes in," said H. G. Hastings, recognized farm authority, and President of the Georgia Association, a state-wide development organization that has for its major object the betterment of farm conditions. So far as we know, no other farm section or country in the world haB ever been able to stand such an enor-mouB and steady drain of its money life-blood for food and grain as has the South, without complete farm bankruptcy and collapse for the last Hfty or sixty years. Our farm pockets have had Just as big holes at the bottom as they have had at the top, so to speak.

As fast as our money for cotton, or other cash crop, went in at the top of the pocket, Just so fast did It slip through that hole at the bottom for bread and meat and grain-A lot of our good folks are looking to Washington for government help, which probably won't come. No use to look that far away. The source of most of our trouble Is right at home. It's the empty corn crib and oat bin, the empty hog pen and smoke-house, the lack of hay and forage In barn or stack, milking tin cans of condensed milk instead of a good cow; few eggs, few chickens, and eating New Jersey, Michigan or California grown vegetables and fruits via the tin can route Instead of from the home orchard and gardens. Some food items we necessarily must buy, coffee, salt, sugar, but there is absolutely no sense in the way we do on this food question.

Its so foolish and unnecessary, this paper bag farming," as someone called It. Some of our farm folks are more guilty than others on this particular brand of poverty producing foolishness, but every one of us is guilty in greater or less degree. Diversified farm operations, at least to the full extent otjiome needs from home acres, is the first step away from present bad farm conditions to permanent farm prosperity. Reverse the present way of taking the wagon or truck Or automobile to town empty and bringing it back full. Town is the place for yon to sell food items Instead of the place to buy most- of them.

Grain, meat, hoy and forage from home acres, fresh vegetables and fruit from your garden and orchard or in cans on closet shelves pay no long line of wholesale and retail profits and railroad freight rates. Every farmer in the South has hlB and his familys salvation in his own hands this spring. Sew up that hole in the farm pocket beginning now.
