Talking About Our Neighbors By B. H. WATTS The congregation of the Barnwell Methodiat church hag been invited by the congregation of the Presbyterian church to use their own church for evening worship until such time as the local Methodists will have com pleted their own building. This gen erous offer has been accepted with tiianks, the first oif the evening ser vices under this new arrangement to start June 12th. There is a fine co operative spirit among the denomi- natians prevailing in Barnwell, which augurs well for the community. farming industry. It seems to me that landowners in Barnwell County and the entire coast al region, as for that matter, ought to plant their idle acre* to pine trees and thus start a development project which in time would eyrich them, for if our farmers can not make any money from cultivating so much land —one tliird of it will give paying re turns planted to trees. Reforesta tion is what is needed more than any- thhtg else. Slash pine is of more rapid growth than all the other vari- etien and yields more turpentine than lon^leaf. My good friend, Judgp 1 John K. Snelling, of the probate court, tells me that he is not expecting much - of a June landfldide in the marrying line, though suatfaco rindiaatons would pont that way. He says this is^a lean year, financially, and therefore swains arc hesitating about stepping out. The mating season here in Barnwell, according to the Judged i: fall. Having at one time been in the newspaper business himself, I drop ped in on the Judge the other morn ing. Because I have some mighty good fHends back in Georgia of the same name I wanted to know more about this genial and popular county official, who it has been my pleasure to know., He has been in office for more than a quarter of a century jmd is still going strong. Numerous Features For Gala Occasion I have been impressed since com ing to Barnwell seven months and more ago with thl wonderful work being carried on among the farm women of the community by Miss Eliasbeth McNab, the very efficient County Home Demonstrator, having the co-operation and direction, wince she began her work soon after my Arrival, of Miss Jane Ketchen, M ; ss Bessie Harper and others employed by the State. Miss McNab, I am told. Is a big factor In transforming the county into a dairy, poultry and bracking section, which has gone a long way towards laying the foun dation for years of sohd, rfteady, ac tive growth of an all-anportant and necessary by-product of the Total Lunar Eclipse Is Due on June 15th ♦ 1 A total eclipse of the moon, visi ble throughout the United Startes, is due eaftly in the morning of June 15. The eclipse will begin soon after midnight, become complete about 2 o’clock and end about 3.30 o’clock. The beginning will be visible gener ally in the Atlantic Ocean, in NonCh America except the northern beder, in South America and in the Pacific ocean. The ending will be visible gen erally in North Americ a % except the extreme eastern part, in (the Pacific ocean, and kr> Australia. The duration of the totality will be twenty-two minutes. The dura tion is less than one-quarter of what it would be if the moon were exactly at its node. The node is “either of tw’o point# at which the intersection of the planes of two orbits, especially those of a satellite and its nrimary. pierces its celestial sphere; or, specifically, the pclnt where the orbit of a heavenly body intersects the ecliptic.’’ m., m., m., Congress will not meet in special session to consider the Mississippi flood situation.

The very fact that the national conventaon of U. S.

This department of t^e Weevil Emergence Greater This Year Probably more human hfajppfneas depends upon how a home is kept than upon any other thing. 1 i Previously oiir schools have devoted little time to this important subject. Pupils are taught geometry, geogra phy and arithmetic, they are taught latin and music and all sorts of plain and ornamental) information,but no home-keeping. It,is necessary to elevate the busi ness of home-making into an art, to get people enthusiastic about it and to impress upon the mind of youth its dignity and importance. .. At the State Teachers’ College in Pittsburg, Kansas, they have estab lished a house for the porpoae of de veloping right standards of courtesy, hospitality and social graces^tc., all necessary in the successful manage ment of a home. They have secured a hous<j,.such a one as would be used by a family of moderate means, and instruct pupils how to take care of R. o' 0 They have a house manager who plans menus, does marketing, presides at the table and so on. They teach the girls how to cook,prepare food and keep the kitchen in order. Another girl assists the cook in pre paring salads, cares for the dining room and acts as waitress. Still another is called hciisekeeper She dusts and keeps the house in clean order. *, laundress tend to the house linen and stokes the furnac*;. The duties are rotated so that a stu dent gets practice in every kind of home work. They have guests and often enter tain the president of the college and the faculty. The house is managed on a budget plan and all expenditures ale limited. The records are kept in permanent form. The house is self-supprting and the students pay for room and board. As there- is no child in the house they are going to adopt a thild and study child training. Since so much depends upon the way a home is kept this sort of train ing seems to be 'sensible.
