Superintendent of Education Geo. L. Pitts Is now soliciting prizes to be given to the corn club boys. It is not necessary to dwell here on tha good cause for which he is working, but we do want to ask that Mr. Pitts be aided and encouraged in the work. It must be remembered that this is not a part of bis duties as superintendent of education nor does he receive any pay for it. He is working, we believe, for the interest of the boys and girls of this generation and of the tuen and women of the future. He deserves assistance. It will be Impossible for him. even if he fell willitiK to do so, to See ev ery man who is able to give a prize for this cause. Ills time, like yours and Spurs, is limited. He would like to see n number of prizes offered for the boys without being forced to beg for them. It OUghl not to be necessary for him to no around and beg the well tO-do people of this county to give prizes for this cause. They have nl reody felt the benefits of the work of last year and they should he now will ing to oncourngo it again. So. Mr. Pills would like for the people who feel able to come forward and offer prizes for the young corn growers. They have worked under dlfuCUltlOS this yea!- ami when the time comes for them to show what thry have done, they should not be greeted by indif ference on the part of their elders. Anybody who is willing to respond to this call and to make an offer for the young fellows should address a letter to Mr. Pitts at once ami advise him of the offer. The prize givors should not be confined to the merchants on ly, but the farmers of the county are just as able and willing to help as the town folks and Mr. Pitts would be glad to see them respond too. A large list of prizes is wanted, so everyone who feels willing is requested to make tin offer. ERECTS OWN MONUMENT. Laurens Count) Man Krects his Own Monument to Suit his Own Taste.

The Storing Picture as an Educational Feature In Wisconsin. The value of the educational picture, so constantly emphasized by .The Moving Picture World has found prac tical recognition in the prosperous and progressive State of Wisconsin. The legislature of that State has, at its last session, appropriated the sum of $150,000, part of which is to be used in the purchase of moving picture ma chines and suitable Ulms. This means that the representatives of the people have officially sanctioned the aid of the picture In elementary and advanc ed education and in university exten Boln work. It was for these purposes that the money was granted. It Is, under the Circumstances, neither vis ionary nor optimistic to expect similar steps in other tSates. The teachers are ready for the education film, the pupils are eager for them, but tho pro ducers of this kind of film are slow to recognize the demand and supply it. Tribute of Respect.

Well, I have finished my silo and filled it with corn. I have put about six acres of corn into it and it is not quite full at that, so you can have somo idea how much stuff can be put into a hole ten by twenty. But corn this year planted in March was quite small, therefore it required more corn to fill It. I had corn last year that I believe made more on three acres than was made on six this year. - I intended to have corn planted in May for ensllege, but it kept so dry that I could not plant anything at nil for ensllege. so 1 had to do the best taht I could. Now, as to the cost of my silo. I wrote to all of the silo builders whose advertisements I could find and the cheapest wooden one that 1 could find was quoted at $125.00, P. O. B. factory. Brick or concrete silos cost about twice or three times as much. So I bought my lumbor here and had it dressed perfectly square and hired Mr. W. A. Copcland and showed him how to build it. We got along flue and made a success of it. The lumber that went into the silo (1,400 feet) cost mo $16.10, one keg of 40 I) nails cost $3.00, dressing and seven iron bands cost $13.00, labor cost $10.00 and the basement and foundation cost $10.00. So you can see that I got through with it very light compared with the bought one. I have not put a top on it yet although I expect to. I have bought ten gallons of paint, costing $8.5)0, with which I expect to paint it. using one of my wages hands. A top is not entirely necessary. So you can see that I am paving the way for that care of line Holstein Priesian cows that we have been talk ing about. They are coining too at the proper time for several of our wide awake farmers are talking about tak ing two or more heifers. Now, my idea is to purchase two year old heifers bred so we can get. an early start with young cattle and acclima tize them at the same time. The cows sell at anywhere from $100 to $l?r>00 each and will give from four to fifteen gallons of milk per day and as much as four and a half pounds of butter each day for eleven months In the year. So who would not want one of these cows and do away with seven or eight scrubs to get this amount of milk? I have already been offered $."?0.00 for every bull calf that t have for sale. So come up, all who are interested in the dual purpose cow and lets make lip two cars instead or one and send a man up to the Holstein fields to buy them and bring them home. .1. Wad-' Anderson. THE FALLING HOCKS. *************** 1 am going to relate a phenomenon that happened in the Poplar Spring section years ago. Watchers were sitting tip with the sick, .at a certain bouse and at night when quietly attending to the patient, rocks would suddenly fall on the tloor In their midst, apparently coming down through the boards on the bouse. Also strange sounds were heard over their heads. Such a thing attracted unus ual attention. Crowds were soon at tending and the house and yard would be full of visitors. They watched close ly to lind out the cause of these things. Sometimes a rock would come down from the sky, right into the arowd, out In the yard. Soon another one would fall on the lloor of the house. The peo ple were terribly excited over such occuranees . Some of the level head ed old men got to going in to inves tigate. By quietly watching the crowd they found certain young men with rocks in their pockets, who would unobserved slip them out and let them come down amongst the people. They had things wrought up to an alarm ing extent, before they were caught carrying on the delusion. The elders advised their neighbors to stop the meeting of so many peo ple at their houses. The excitement soon subsided. But the first cause of tho noises and falling rocks I never did hear them satisfactorily explained. "What fools we mortals be! To what extremes We" are often lead!
