A small but Snyxntamt Stem on the Family Budget.. Frequently people who come to the telephone office to order a telephone, tell ue they have found that there is no economy in trying. to get along without the service. Its many advantages, they say, far outweigh the small cost. Doing without telephone service, they explain, hampered the social activities of the whole family and restricted their ? . opportunities to enjoy life. Trying to do without a telephone had resulted in their gaining a more appreciative understanding of the true value of the service. So they arranged the family budget to include telephone service. The advantages of a telephone in the home are eo nn~ merous and the cost so very small that it really doesn't pay to try to do without it.

VIRTUES OF SPUDS ROOSTED Pound of Potatoes Daily Helps Keep Tired Feeling Away - # The plain, unassuming potato might blush or burst, if it could know its virtues as a food as extolled by Professor K. V. Hardenburg, of the New York State College of Agriculture, who quotes the opinions of several authorities to show the potato as one of the most healthful and cheapest of foods. Residents of the United States eat about three bi^shelg of potatoes to the person each year, less tluin for any other country in the north temperate none, where the crop is grown commercially, he says. The potato possesses certain qualities that tend to maintain health. The human hlqod is naturally alkaline, and when normal alkalinity is maintained, the resistance to disease is high. Many of the ordinary diets load the body with acids and the results are seen m the vast number of persons who are chronically tired. The potato, he says, is one of the most highly alkaline foods and also one of the most easily digestible, Cooked potato starch digests in onesixtlj of the time required for the digestion of oatmeal, add in less time than any ceTeal. The typical bill of fure, he says, is deficient in vitamin C, the scurvypreventing vitamin, which the potato supplies in abundance. Howe attributes the almost universal premature decay of teeth to the lack of this vitamin. Police Gazette Off to Literary Crave New York, Feb. 22.?-Vanquished by a robust age of sex and sensation which made its pale pink pages almost appear to blush, the Police Gazette, terror of the Victorian age, took its final step toward a literary grave today. Creditors for the national magazine whose lurid art once adotned the barber shop tables of America from coast to coast, filed a petition in bankruptcy against the Richard K. Fox Publishing company, claiming insolvency. The Police Gazette had built its reputation?and at one time a circulation of 500,000?in stories and pic-N tures of burglary and blood, lust and lechery, wild women and wine. It lost its circulation when "art" magazines and an era of frank reporting respecting the evils and evil-doers ofr the day began to surpass its most daring expositions.

Starkey, chief of animal husbandry. advises the grazing of soybeans while they are green. "Until recently hogs were not turned on soybeans until the seeds were mature," says Mr. Starkey. "This was a big mistake for three reasons: Mature beans make soft pork; when only mature are grazed, the grazing season is greatly shortened; not as much pork can be produced per acre if the beans are grazed mature rather than green. According to experimental data accumulated at Clemson College, also at the Coast Station at Summerville, green soybeans furnish a very satisfactory forage and afford a means of producing firm pork economically. "So far as is known now the best variety of soybean to use is the Biloxi, which should be planted about j April 1. The stage of growth at! which nogs should be turned or. is I | a matter of opinion, but it "is believed j I trial wnen .-oy beans are twelve inches' J high he \ . : t.:r. ! . 1, v'; ' [" 1 -an* r>ear> in row * ra'her j i than broadcast. Care should be tik-fl en not to plant the beans very detyfl especially on clay soils. As a ter of fact, they should bo barelfl covered. They should be cultivate^B two or three times to keep thca? clean and stimulate growth." j Prof. Starkey states that sprinfl pigs turned on green soybeans u? full fed corn with a protein supple? ment should be ready for market bfl September. He cites the exporiena^B of Thomas Traywick, of Cope, Of? angeburg county, who has been abl? in this way to make his pigs wei|? 200 pounds in a little over fr? months, while as a general rule i? takes six to seven months to ra?k? hogs weigh 200 pounds.
