Shanklin of the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department if Agriculture, has been delegated to make a co-operative field study of cotton production in organized communities in the Southeastern States, with special attention to the economic and socilogical phases. The object of the study, which will be conducted in co-operation with the Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics is to determine the ad vantages to cotton growers from “one-variety communities,” and to develop methods of adapting this system of production to sections of the Cotton Belt in which local 1 con ditions vary. Cotton improvement on a com munity basis was initiated in Cali fornia and Arizona several years ago, says O. F. Cook, in charge of cotton-breeding investigations for the department, and the feasibility of the plan in the southwestern communities has been demonstrat ed. Uniformity of staple is the most important factor in determin- ling the quality # of cotton, and to 'have uniform crops of cotton the ReBeves a Headache or Neuralgia ! seed must be kept pure. Experience has shown that uniformity of fiber can, not be maintained unless com munities grow only one variety of cotton. Two steps are necessary to im prove the type of cotton grown in the South, according to Mr. Cook. First, the superior varieties devel oped by plant breeders must be grown generally; and second, the uniformity of the varieties must be maintained by continual selection. Unless new varieties are adopted by whole communities instead of by a few individuals, there is no pros pect that they will remain pure or that growers will realize the full value of their crops. In a com munity producing several varieties of cotton, the seed becomes mixed at the gin, the varieties cross-poll- inate in the fields, and the seed stocks rapidly deteriorate. As far mers say, the cotton “runs out,” as a result of mongrelizing the seed stocks. In its field studies and subse quent work in the South, the De partment of Agriculture will co-op erate with the State agricultural colleges and experiment stations, and also locally with county agents and agricultural high-school teach ers. X imWSV; When I was a child, if I did mm not feel well, or if I had a cold, 'V' my mother gave me Black- ▼ Draught,” says Mrs. Orpha ▼ J Hill, of Wofford, Ky.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING The disease name comes from the Italian. influenza Australia has springtime in Oc tober and November. Beavers are particularly fond of aspen trees as food. There are about $4,000,000,000 worth of diamonds in the United States. An expedition is investigating the ruins of the old Inca Templfe of the Sun on the banks of Lake Titicaca in South America. First Records Of Marines Are Found s m FORD BATTERIES $7.95 WHITTLE BATTER? SERVICE 622 JBROAD PHONE 1166 AUGUSTA, GA. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 20.— In the archives of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania is a* leath er-bound ledger and on its pages are inscribed the pames of the first company of marines who answered the call to the colors in the days of the Revolution. This same ledger is one that was first used by Mas ons more than two centuries ago. Long before the colonies separ ated front the mother country, the Masons held their meetings in the old Tun Tavern, on the Delaware waterfront, and the minutes of their lodge are recorded in the old 'x>ok as early as 1749 and for some years thereafter. The Continental Congress au thorized the formation of two battalions of marines on November 1, 1775. The marines made their rendezvous at the Tun Tavern, and the thrifty Captain Mullan, who headed the first company of sea soldiers, used the book which had been discarded by the Masons, for his muster roll and payroll. XXI Feeding Points Here are 10 points to remember in feeding cattle. (1) Growing ani mals make the best use of feeds— keep cattle growing. (2) Weaning time is a critical period; start feed ing before weaning. (3i Balanced rations supply tlie animals’ needs with the least feed. i4) see that water and salt are always accessible to the animals. <5> Legumes, pas tures. and succulent feeds help production and profit. (6) Feed regularly and liberally for large production; mere maintenance yields no profits. n> Keep breed ing animals thirffcy, not overfat. (8) Good feeding equipment prevents waste of feed and labor. (9) Para sites, exposure, and overcrowding Pellagra in human beings and black tongue in dogs are funda mentally the same disease. Automobile manufacturers in this country estimate that sales this year will reach 4,600,000 cars. The population of California, Oregon and Washington has in creased 170 per cent in the last twenty-five years. Although the chrysanthemum is so closely associated with Japan, it appears to have been a native plant of China. Striped bass were first introduced to California from New Jersey in 1879. Instead of eating food, tiny bac teria get into the food and ab sorb it. Adult brown bears average 2,- 000 pounds in weight, some weigh ing as much as 2,500 pounds. x A nation-wide movement has been started to put signs on the roofs of certain buildings in every town and city to guide aviators. Tests at the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research indicate that wood flooring has about as much resistance to we&r and denting as narble. A natural history expedition which recently returned to New York from Africa brought 10,000 feet of moving picture film of Af rican elephants. s — A C*P^ er and a i Trained Mind | Anderson Fair Will Be Best Yet By H.

Although ho had been a friend of Arthur's father in the days when the two had “broken into” Wall street together, he had no idea of letting his daughter marry his old friend's son. “Oh, Arthur,” Ethel was saying as the two sat alone in the back parlor of the old-fashioned Crosby mansion, “I am really afraid we shall have to elope—for 1 won't give you up, let father say what lie will. “He was talking to me today about you.” she went on, “and even went so far as almost to order me to forbid you the house. But I told him frankly that I should do no such thing. He called me an ungrateful and rebel lious child and 1 cried, and he w'ent ofT in a rage to the library. He’s there now. He’s got some business matter on his mind, 1 can see, and that makes him very unreasonable.” “I don’t see why your father should be so down on me,” said Arthur. “I have a little money of my own and— I've a good mind to go upstairs and have it out with him.” “Do!” cried Ethel. “Matters can't' be any worse than they are now.” “All right,” replied Arthur, “here goes for the Rubicon!” Arthur went upstairs, knocked on the library door, which stood partly open, and entered. Mr. Crosby looked up surprised and angry from the paper on the table be fore him which he had been contem plating with a puzzled frown. “Excuse my intrusion. Mr. Crosby.” said Ar thur, “hut 1 gathered from Ethel that you might like to have a talk with me concerning my relations to your daughter. We are deeply in love.

If yotihad gone Into Wall street as your father did!” “1 might have been squeezed by old Collingwood ns my father was,” inter rupted Arthur. At the name of Col lingwood Crosby paused reflectively and glanced at the paper on the table. His whole manner changed. “Yes.” said he, “Collingwood did ruin your father and there (tapping the paper on the table) is the same hand reached out for me.” v Arthur glanced at the document. “Cipher, sir?” he asked. “Yes,” replied Crosby, “and I’d give something to read it.” On the piece of paper Arthur saw the following: ( 5 C $ . 3 ; ? 8 ) $ 5 : He gazed at it thoughtfully, then seemed to be struck with a sudden idea. “I think I can decode it for you. sir,” said he, “You can? Go ahead and try. then. If you succeed—well, then we will talk of other matters.” Arthur looked along the hook shelves, took down a volume, drew a chair up to the table, selected a pencil and a piece of blank paper, and set to work. Finally lie handed the cipher message hack to Crosby with letters written under ihe cryptic characters. The message now appeared as (56 $.3 ;?8)$0 : r a i d p g t u e s d a y “Raid Peninsular and Galveston Tuesday, will he?” cried Crosby. “The oft! villian. Well, we’ll see about that.

X Baptist Schedule Fresh Fruits Frozen For Out Of Season The rows of perforations cut be tween postage stamps yield four, cryptogram contained and explained tons of tiny pinhead disks of paper therein to Oollingwood’s message— a month, which appear to be en- ’ vou soe tl,e result. Very careless PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Oct. 21.- The first laboratory investigation to determine the exact effects of the new quick-freezing process up on fresh fruits frozen during their season for year-round consumption is being conducted here by Dr. J. Cecil Rhodes, Director of the Medi cal Arts Laboratories. Fresh, tree- ripened peaches frozen in Georgia last summer will be used for the various tests. The process employed for the freezing of peaches, and ether fresh fruits, in a manner designed to make them available for the tal>le throughout the year, with all their original freshness, flavor and color is essentially the same as that which has been successfully used for the quick-freezing of fresh meats. The successful freezing of the Georgia peaches by Tom Hus ton, of Columbus, Georgia, during the past season is, however, the first time it has been applied with success, to fresh fruit for home or individual consumption. The first phase of investigation will include tests to determine the comparative fqpd value, solid con tent, fruit sugar content and flav r or, of the frozen fruit and fresh peaches of the same variety pur chased in produce markets. A second phase of the investigation will go into the matter of vitamin content. Rapid extension of the quick-freezing process to a wide variety of fruits, according to Mr. Huston, forecasts a revolution in BETHANY—1st Sunday, preach ing service, 3:30 p. m.; 3 rd Sun day, 11:30 a. m.
