FINDING MISSING PEOPLE
Every time the second hand of
the clock completes its circuit
some man, woman or child in the
United States disappears from the
sight of family or friends, accord
ing do Major Catherine G. 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.

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.

Farm Calendar
THINGS THAT SHOULD BE DONE
THIS MONTH
Agronomy
Buy fertilizer on a basis of
pounds of plant food per acre. 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.

This was indeed a delightful oc
