Allen, of Kansas, delivered against Iie South's ootton holding movement Ias .,erved to bring out one thing .which will he worth a great deal to farmers of this section if properly considerd. Kansas an(d the other cereal growing tates have planted the greatest acre age in their history In 'wheat in order to profit by the price fixed by the gov ernment. In Increasing the acreage in wheat the avrearg in vorn had to be reduced. A shortage in corn with (onse qulien t high prices is likely to rv silt. To the man who grows all cot on and buys his corn. this should be 1ood for thought. PROU'D OFTil F1al7. . I.aurens occulies today, In regard to her returning soldiers, just about such a position as the bashful lover does who is already condeined to servitude by the fair maiden by hils side, but who still remains speechless when the fate ful cluestion would be asked. Ile doesn't know what to do or say, but just trusts to luck and to her that things will come out. aright. Trusting to her, incidentally, is often a very safe plan. Dut iaurens hardly knows ,what to do for her returning soldiers. She is anxious to express a sense of appreciation and pride In the records her soldiers of the Thirtieth Division and all other divisions have nade, yet too many celebrations and too many speeches are not always to the taste of the soldiers. They are human. rhey want to go home, enjoy the pleasures and treasures of homielife and forget about the army and marching. .We want to honor them all and do honor them all, but it may be expressed by a simple deference to -what may be their wish-to be let alone for a time while they renew their home ties. greet their old firends and then make plans for the fiture. Inut, whatever may be the case, L aur lens is prolud of the bril liant record her soldiers have made. A Woman's Dexterity.

FINE MIlERSHIP IN CANNINO CLUBS Laurens County has over One lundred Boys and Girls Working Demonstra. tion Plots. That Laurens county has over one hundred boys and girls working gar den plots under government supervi slon is 'brought out in a letter recently sent out by Miss Daisy Harris, county Agent. Although Laurenrs already has more 'tihan -the minimum number ex pected from each county, Miss liarlis Is workin'g energetically to secure more meimbers. The letter 'which she had sent out to club menibers was as follows: Dear Club 1loinbers: In counting up the number of those who have promised to work one-tenth acre garden plots and keep a record of their work I find that over one hundred 'bors and girls have given in their names, and some have not yet definitely decided. I0'very Home Demonstration Agent in the State was asked to secure eighty-five memwrs for the Canning Club, so you see Laurens County has enrolled considerably over this num ber. But what will count in making Laurens a banner county in cluh woik, will not lbe the number w'ho en rolled in this work, 'but the number, who at the close of lle season, send in a good record book. I hope none of you will lose your enthusiasm during the coming months, become discouraged andl( drop out of the 'work. If you once undertake a jolb, have the back-bone to put it through to the best of your ability. Of course you are going to meet with (Is couragements. I am here to help you, so please 'write me if you need help or inforiat ion at any ime. If you have not received your seeds or instructions for ibeginning' work, write me at once. Your tomato seeds should be sown in hot beds as soon as posalble. The roads to some sections of the county have been so had that I have not 'been alble to reach some of you. If you care to join in club work, please send in your name as it is not yet too late to join. It the Poutory Olub I have enroll ed about thirty menibers. I am ask ing Poultry Club members to secure two or three settings of purebred eggs. I trust that work will not be all that we will get from our year together. We hope to have several social gather ings during tie year, community fairs, prizes at end of season. tc.
