Knight of The Salvation Army Central Territorial headquarters. Major Knight, who has been called the best unofficial detective in the world, has found thousands of missing persons in the years in which she has had charge of the Missing Friends bureau of the Army in Chicago. “Boys are the hardest to find,” she says, “and they also run away more frequently than girls. With the city boy it is usually the lure of wide open spaces that calls, while the fanner boy and his small town brother are fascinated by the many faces, the canyon-like streets and bright lights of the great urban centers.” Of the hundreds of persons she Is asked to search for every year. Major Knight finds approximately 40 per cent. The Army, however, does not enlist its services for the finding of criminals, nor the de tention of husbands behind in their alimony payments. The Ma jor’s specialty is finding young girls who have run away .to find independence through a job and income of their own. In her work she is assisted by the entire Army organization numbering 15,517 corps and outpostS throughout the world. X IT^ UP TO THE TOWN There is considerable comment going the rounds of the press as to whether or not the auto and the good roads have not sounded the doom of the small town. It seems to us that this is a matter for the town to decide. If it is a live town with ^ bunch of good merchants, who hustle, advertise and give the kind of service that pleases, the auto and the good road will help the town and cause it to grow and prosper. However, if the town is a dead one, no push, no progress, poor and incompetent merchants, then the auto and the good road will most certainly hasten its end. Easy and rapid travel are the mak- drilled into them. X- Itinerary Of Income Tax Agents Over S. C. E. K.

The cotton plant does not know the meaning of “analysis,” “unit,” or “ratio.” Secure cotton seed that will make one-inch staple so you can see your cotton made into cloth in your local mill. China, India and Russia can grow 7-8 inch cotton cheaper than you can. Sow a few pounds of lespedeza, carpet grass, or Dallis grass seed per acre for better pastures. Horticulture Plant strawberries, dewberries, blackberries. Prepare land for planting a lawn * late in February. Set out grape vines, fruit trees, and ornamental plants. • Plant asparagus and Irish pota toes; transplant cabbage. Plant celery, spring kale, lettuce, mustard, onions, parsley, garden peas, radishes, spinach, and tur nips. Plant in hotbeds, eggplant, to mato, pepper. Separate and plant cannas, cut ting into pieces with two to three eyes. Dig and divide lemon lilies and flags if they are too thick.

A chicken stew was given in Mr. Bussey’s pasture last Friday by the boys of the agriculture classes. This was indeed a delightful oc casion and the goodly number of young folks had lots of fun. Each boy had the privilege of inviting a girl friend and after they had all assembled, the majority of the evening was filled with “proms.” The stew, under the supervision of Mr. Ward Robertson, proved to be cooked in the finest style and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
