' b, H We would suggest to our citizens. that we form an independent mli:ary company in this town, one for our home protection and a'. the same time learn h something about military. This town could raise at lea-t one hundred men that would be willing to drill every afternoon for an hour: so as, if we were ever called on to defend our country. we would know something, and when LL we enlisted in the United States army. .) it would take a very short while to get or in shape. We know that it would be G ruination to a great many of us to enlist now and maybe stay in camp a year or more, and :hen be sent home to find oar business gone and posterity staring us in the face, and for that reason the " most of us will wait until we are forced into service. But, we can at least pre nare ourselves to a great extent at home, and too, it will be good exercise. Of course, we hope that the time will never come when we are called to arms, but no one knows what is ahead at of us. We have good military men o here that could drill us, and we know they be glad to learu us what. we do not know. The editor will head tne list, so come in boys. and let us be soldiers' for a while anyway- t ) -..--. - th - Clarendon Conuty Short Course. l Being 3nxious to promot.e the Iom;e Demonstration Work in this county wet r. are planning to have a three Days' Short Course at Sutnme'ton. begoinmr .

These two dis of easas are cotton wilt, or "block-root," i M and root-knot. I i I will venture to say that these two n, diseases alone, cost the farmers of this - r, county, annually eight thousand dol lars, and from my own observation I e believe this is a very safe statement to da )d make Why should this condition ex- de b ist now? I believe in my own opinion, m . that these diseases can be controlled he absolutely by the pioper methods of! ly harm management, that is, by diversi- Ith fication, deep fall plowing, and proper th seed selection, and by planting a w'iltm eresisting variety o~ he infested lands. th When the plants lt suddenly or the! sti rleaves yellow and fail off without ap wI o parent reason. and'wilt is to be inspect ni ned. If the freshly ulant is pulled and ito mthe inner wood of the stem or root is Ire found blackened, the disease is almost s ecertain to be wilt. Where root-knot ro leoccurs with wils the injury from the !f i elatter is greatly increased. Root-knot! mn r itself does not show on the above be ground partoftheplant except thro ugh 1b its indirect injury, andi hence is fre- .cm 2e quently overlooked. tn ee It is desirable that tile farmer know! t with certainty there is root-knot on his land. To tell accurately whether you of have root-knot pull up about midsum- ('1 mer, a stalk of okra, tomato. or Cauta- 0' -lope and you will notice the sweling or Pt to alls on the roots, and in almost every bi of Ease you may rest assured that your .j land has root-knot. w Now, here's what I want. I want e every man in this cotunty to let me be a- know if he has wilt in his cotten or' m ly either root-knot.. Just send me a cara g stating that I have found wilt in my i cotton or I haste found root-knot on my Ici frm. Ia will take up the matter with oafonce. J. R.

But it does vastly more harD than good. Phrase is an Old One. The phrase "entente cordiale" wa rst used to express the friendly rela ~ions existing between France an PERFECT LOVER By ELIZABETH E. HOYT. Molly Foss was one of seven girls who had grown up together in Easton. Molly alone had shown no signs of losing her heart. She had studied nursing. And, of course, she might have gone on nursing peaceably for ever had not Dr. Richard Randall come to town. Molly apparently did not recipro cate Dr. Richard Randall's devotion. The first to speak to Molly about it was Carrie Smith, who had been Car rie Waters. Carrie's husband had had an attack of pneumonia, and Molly had come to help Carrie out-and Doc tor Randall was the doctor. One night she told her friend just what she thought of her indifference to the young doctor. "Molly, my dear," she said, "I am going to speak to you plainly. Let me tell you it is a great thing to have the devotion of a man who is interested in the same things you are. Think it over, Molly, dear." It was Helen Lake who spoke the next word to Molly about Doctor Rich ard. "You ought to be mighty thank ful, Molly Foss," Helen said, "to have a man like Doctor Randall. He Is so exactly the right size for you." Helen sighed. A week or two later Molly was call ing on Betty Arnold Wister, whose husband, Peter, had brought her much love and a salary of $15 a week. "Molly," said Betty, "The slightest mischance would send us both to the poorhouse. Doctor Randall is the most prosperous person in Easton." Grace McPherson overtook Molly a few days later. "Molly," she said, "you may think it is none of my busi ness and I am awfully silly, but you know I've seen quite a lot of Tom Sears lately, and I like him very much. But Sundays he just stays at home and smokes, and when he takes me home from evening meeting he al ways waits outside the church door. I feel so wicked, Molly! Dr. Richard Randall comes to church every Sun day. I envy you, Molly." Gertrude Fiske Ingraham called on Molly on purpose to deliver her mes sage. "I am going to tell you frankly," she said, "that you don't half appre ciate Dr. Richard Randall's family con nections. I know a girl who lives in Rye, where his family came from, and she said his mother had just read a paper before the women's club on the mistake It was for relatives to come to live with a young couple. I vow I never spoke of this before, but what with Mother Ingraham and Grandmother Ingraham and Cousin Sophronia and Great-aunt Dorcas all living with Percy and me and all wanting to run the house, from pour ing the tea to bringing up the baby. I tell you sometimes it almost breaks my heart." Molly's dearest friend, Lou Thomp son, who was to be married in June, came to Molly a few weeks before the wedding. "Molly," she said, "I know you'll understand why I tell .you this, for I'm doing it not to hurt John, but for your own sake. I love John, but he's so forgetful of little things that sometimes he almost breaks my heart. He doesn't take off his hat as soon as he comes into the house-and things like that, you know. I never dreamed of speaking of this before. Until you've had an experience like mine you won't know that manners can be more aggravating than anything else In the world. And you ought to know how Important they are. Molly, for Dr. Richard Randall has the best manners I ever saw in any man In all my life." Then Molly unburdened herself. "Dear Lou," she said, "Richard Ran dall is too perfect. He Is interested in the right thing, hi Is the right size, he has a good Income, he's got the best kind of habits, and the best kind of relatives, and he's eugenic, and fatherly and generous, and he has the best disposition In the world. And. to cap the climax, he has absolutely flawless manners. Lou, I am not per fect myself, and I'm not going to mar ry a man who is. If I ever did a thing that wasn't quite right, or ac cepted, you know, Richard would never say a word, but I would feel his reproach to the end of my days. If I could only find one single little human failing in him I would marry him, but I won't marry a perfect man, and If I were you, Lou Thompson, I'd be mighty thankful that John does sometimes forget to take off his hat." Dr. Richard Randall continued In his devotion and Molly Foss continued in her indifference until early last July. On the Fourth they were In vited to dinner several miles from Easton. That night as they were driv ing home in the soft summer dark ness, for the seventh time Richard Randall asked Molly Foss to marry him, and to his infinite surprise she said yes without a moment's hesita tion. They were married in September and lived even more happily than their friends had predicted. Richard was perfectly satisfied with Molly and Molly was perfectly satisfied with Richard: but one day, six months after the wedding, Richard looked at his wife very seriously and asked, "How was it that you said yes so suddenly on the way home from tin cle Rufus King's?" "Dearest Richard," Molly said, kiss ing him, "it was because you ate youl' peas with a spoon." Copyright, 191$, by the McClure NeW~pfrq per Syndicate.) C.old Meat at Dawn. All life is a war; "there is much enemy," as one of Kipling's Indian heroes remarked, in every enterprise; the lessons which form par excellence the curriculum of sport are as invalu able to the banker or lawyer as to the soldier. Little traits show the drift of the wind of character. Napoleon first displayed his quality in the storm ing of fortresses of snow, and surely something of the austere pertinacity of this great adversary is dedusible from h-is eternal order for breakfast, "cold meat at dawn." This was Wel lington's Invariable answer to the aide .decamp whose duty it was to inquire of the duke at what hour he would -breakfast next day and what he would eat. An amusing tale is told of the disgust of a lie-a-bed Belgian general who, loving French cooking, had to upend a penitential month in attend ance on the Spartan duke.

HAPPIEST MAN IS HONEST ONE He Has No Bad Habits to Retard His ... Progress, and So He Is Always Prosperous. We have noticed the happiest man ! many a time. He works for his living and he gets a good one. One thing we _ notice Is he is a man of fine habits; doesn't squander a cent on foolishness. He saves his money and is getting ' ready to buy some property. He loves a f '- "'% his home, plays with the children, q / reads good books and keeps company _________ with his wife. Because of his good habits he saves a little which will O h ucsflB s give him a chance to make an invest-. ment. ns a And then there is another thing-he - is a reliable man.
