Unable to do all the scrubbing, window washing, carpet beating and sweeping them selves, with the maids of ante-bellum days continuing their work In mills and factories, the Louisville women ■ feared that their city would not be spick and span for Derby day. Then the American Legion posts of the city came to their rescue. “All you former kitchen police; here’s a chance to ply your honorable calling with pay and with a house wife in charge Of the detail.” read the mi Back to Kitchen Police Duty, i 0 Legion’s announcement to unemployed, ex-service men. They responded In platoons and squads, doughboys, gobs and gyrenes, each reciting his record with the broom and mop. The house wives made a rush for them. The plan Is being adopted In sev eral cities nearby with entire satisfac tion to the employers and employed.

St. Matthexvs.—While on his way to Sandy Run Lutheran church a young man by the name of Livingston was held up by three soldiers from Camp Jackson and brutally beaten, stripped of his clothing, robbed of the car in which he was riding, tied hand and foot and left in the woods. After the party had gone the boy regained consciousness, worked him self free and went to a negro house and gave the alarm. Sheriff Hill was immediately notified and was soon up on the scene. Upon his arrival he was informed that the soldiers in the stolen car had already passed through St. Matthews and were on their way toward Charleston. He communicat ed at once with citizens at Eiloree, who waylaid the road. In a few min utes the soldiers appeared. Magis trate Evans and Rural Policeman Bal lard has assembled a good force, and when the soldiers appeared, found themselves at once in their clutches.

Dairy Industry Would Become More Profitable if Cows of Greater Pro ductive Capacity Were Intro duced by Farmer*. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) That the size of the farm has much to do with the success of the owner is shown by results of a survey conduct ed by the United States Department of Agriculture In five counties in th? south and southeastern Ozark region of Missouri. The operation of a gen eral farm in the Ozarks with much less than 40 acres of land for crop* la exceedingly unsatisfactory, regardless of the' location of the farm, whether among the valleys or the hills. Study Many Kinds of Farms. The report of the survey published by the department as Department Bul letin 941, entitled “Farm Management In the Ozark Region of Missouri," Is based on the study of the organization and management of- 79 famis, 31 of which are representative of condltipns of rolling and hilly uplands, and 48 of valley and level uplands. The topo graphical structure to a large extent determines the agricultural value of the land, says the report. As a ru|e the operator of a valley or level up land farm has a decided advantage over the operator of the rough farm. After deducting from their total re ceipts the year’s operating expenses. Including the value of family labor and allowing ,5, per cent Interest on the capital invested, the survey shows that the operators of rolling and hilly farms had, in 1917, an average labor income of $309, and those operating valley or level upland farms an aver age of $640. Of the 79 farms studied, 20 per cent had no labor income after allowing for the deductions referred to. and 21 per cent had a labor Income above $1,000. Labor Incomes earned by typical oper- I ators Indicate that ope having much | less than 40 acres of crop land for a ; general live-stock farm has a rather 1 poor chance of financial success. Better Cows Would Increase Income. Live-stock farming Is the principal sgricultural industry of the region. Ttie use of cows for dairy purposes is increasing. The average annual pro duction per cow of 78 cows on the better class of dairy farms In the area covered by the survey was 142 pounds of butterfat. This industry, says the report, would become more profltabjjf If cows of greater productive capacity were Introduced, and the production would be increased if the feeding of Renders Animal Less Dangerous to At> tendants and Prevents Trouble In Shipping—Treat Calvea When Very Young.. ■> • • , (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.)

The offic ial revision of the French language, which is In the hands of the French academy, has recently made great progress, and the first volume, ending at the letter H, and forming half of the eighth edition of the dfo- tlonary, has now been completed. Home 24.000 io 25,000 words have now been revised since 1878, that Is. in 43 year*. M. Doumlc, who presided over the sitting of the academy al which this result was announced, states that It is hoped to conclude the present edi tion about- 1984, or plghty-slx years from the date at which the work began.

Newberry.—The .large, barn on the Jphnson-McCracken company, Spear man or Hudson plantation, four miles southwest of Newberry, was burned down together with 35T) bushels of threshed oats and over 2,000 bushels more, according to estimate, still un- threashed. The fire caught from a gasoline engine, with which they were running the thresher. There was in surance of $1,500 on the barn, which was about half its value, but there was no insurance on its contents, so the loss Is a very heavy one. No One Against Bonds. Gaffney —County Superintendent of Education W. C. McArthur said that the election Which had just been held in the Robbs school district as to whether two additional mills should be levied for school purposes in the township was carried unanimously, not a single negative vote having been cast.

Pasturage Is the foundation of a live-stock Industry, but natural pastures can be greatly Improved by thinning out woodland areas, keeping the underbrush down, and sowing tame grasses. For greater assurance of llve-sLock feeds during the summer droughts, to which the section Is liable., ’many farmers plant sorghum, millet and kafir com as auxiliary hay crops. On better-managed farms silage is also produced for winter feed and some times to supplement the pasture dur ing summer droaghts. With proper care alfalfa, clover, soy beans and cowpeas are grown, the possibility of these crops, both for hay and grazing, being clearly recognized. The sollk of the region have a wide variation in natural fertility and pro ductiveness. They are usually porous, owing to the large content of stone and gravel. As a result, air and water circulate through them freely, and when they are put under cultiva^en the humus content is quickly lost un less a system of farming is adopted in which provision is made to replenish the supply. If the humus-content is lost the water-holding capacity of the soils 4* greatly reduced, and, as a re sult, crop* suffer severely during the summer droughts and profitable yields are then almost impossible. SANE AND ECONOMICAL FEED Feeder Must Know How Many Pounds of Milk Cow Has Produced to Foed Properly.

Hog Producer Witnesses Sale of Hie Animals and Learns Reason for Different Price*. Pork day is one of the big annual events of Kings county, California. It comes In October usually. In this con test the form bureau center is the unit, and every farm bureau In the contest advances one carload of hegp to be exhibited and rated by an ex pert Judge. Every farm bureau cen ter must have at least six consignors to the load, thus preventing any big concern from exhibiting a carload. In the contest .last fall six farm bureau centers as well as a boys’ pig club took part In the contest. Ten car loads were auctioned in addition to seven cars that had been in the qpn- test. The county agent leader says In his annual report to the United States De partment of' Agriculture"There seems to be no more convincing argu ment to a hog producer than to see the actual sales of his animals take place and to know the difference In price paid for a superior quality ani mal. Farm bureau sales of this kind were started in California In 1916 on the initiative of the county agent of Kern county. • They are now becoming com mon in all pork-producing counties of the state. There were 175 such sales in 1920. with sales aggregating $1,400,- 000. The point seemed to be worth cow- side ring, and Bobby was silent for • while.

LOSS OF VIRGIN FERTILITY Sufficient Quantities of Plantfooo Nec essary in Soils to Maintain Productiveness. To maintain the productiveness of ■f soil It is necessary to preserve with in the soil sufficient quantities of available plant food at least to preven the-yleld from falling oft after a pe riod of cropping. Hundreds of field experiments have demonstrated that the best soils will gradually lose their virgin fertility unless more than or dinary care Is given to the cropping system and the return of plant foods. POULTRY MANURE ISIlCHEGT On Ordinary Farm Not Much Atten tion Is Paid to It on Account . i of Small Amount Made. Poultry manure Is the richest the- nure made on the farm, but on the ordinary farm not much attention la given it. simply because of the small amount usually made Poultry ma nure is valuable chiefly for Its large amounts of nitrogen and phosphoric acid, as> it contains about three times as much nitrogen and five or six times as much phosphoric add as ordinary 1 farm manure.
