The exhibits will cover about 4,000 feet of floor space and will illustrate the activities of the department and the results achieved for the betterment of American agriculture. A wide variety of displays will be used. There will be actual working models that give a realistic presentation of the subjects thoy illustrate. Some of these are of particularly ingenious construction. There will be beautifully colored transparencies, charts, maps -and photographs. Instruments and appliances of all kinds used in the various activities of the department will be on display to show how work of every-day value to the people of the country is performed.

I think, is a great bless- ^ ing to the country women and girls, ] and should be classed second to no pther work that is being carried on ^ for the benefit of the country peo- i pie. It is true there are some women j vho are not interested, simply because they do not attend the meetings, nor f attempt in any way, to get in touch t vith the agent. Some think that the ] vomen are taught only to prepare 2 'dainties" and "extras" which are alright for town people but have no _ alace on the busy farm. But I want ;o say here, never was a greater misake made. Nothing is more practical ,han these meetings and demonstraions?some important phase of woman's work is always taken up and lemonstrated in a strength-saving, ime-saving, and money-saving way? vomen watching this live and efficient ;eacher's work are inspired to get >ut of the old rut and do everything in a better way." uur ciud is a lew club but I have attended many neetings and want to say that at ivery meeting I have learned to do something that has helped me to lousekeep and homemake "in a beter way." The Demonstration work is with is to stay, and the country women vho do not come in with the many vho are taking advantage of it, are joing to be "back numbers" within l few years?as much so, as the farm;r today who uses the methods of 'arming his father used. I want to beg every interested voman to attend the next meeting n her district. She will not regret ioing so. The men on the farm can do j nuch toward making it convenient for the women to attend these meetngs. I know they are interested in ;he work, because it benefits them by lelping the home. A Country Woman. fCingstree, S. C., R. F. D. o ? Destructive Cyclone. * A young lady recently wonJered c why some folks were so cranky as c jo be afraid of wind. "Why, what c is there in a nice, 'breezy' wind to iread these oppressive summer after- j. noons?" There are some fortunate s people in Williamsburg who wonder ^ why any man should dread the wind, j May they continue to wonder! However, a few of their Cedar a Swamp neighbors could give them t i faint idea of what they hare miss- t id. On Monday afternoon, 31st, of July, a terrific storm swept through ^ :his community. It was about a halfmile in width. The length hasn't l ieen determined, hardly estimated; j in-t some of us arc sure it extended ^ good half-mile in length! All agree ; that it was rather local. In the ^ worse stricken district tops 01 nouses were taken off several hundred feet, leaving the contents exposed to j a driving rain. Trees were blown j up; tops of oihers were twisted off. Possibly the most dangerous freak was the overturning of the packlie use belonging to Mr. R. W. McCutchen. Every member of his fam- . ily was caught in the house and in their efforts to escape, the boards , literally slipped under their feet. All escaped practically unharmed. A colored girl was caught underneath . the debris, but was rescued without , serious injuries. Besides crushing ' his Ford car and tearing up his buggy, practically the whole year's crop . of tobacco which had carefully been rtored away was left to the mercy of the storm. There were very few severe blasts of wind. One was strong enough to take the top of J. S. McGill's corn house and scatter it over the neighboring field. Another blew up two walnut trees in his yard, one falling j upon and instantly killing a pet pony owned by his father. A third twisted off tremendous oak limbs which fell over his car, but, as much of, the weight rested on an adjoining oak, the car wasn't seriously damaged. The whole sash, facing and i all, were blown through one room and half of his residence was saturated by the rain. The storm also relieved of its cov-, ering the corn house belonging to Mr. Joe Epps. Many trees were blown up, and all the corn and to-1 bacco left in the field was whipped about by the wind and the rain, and some of it beaten into threads by hail. Electricity was much in evi-! dence but the lightning "held little light" for the wind. No storm dream- j eel of until its victims stood terrorstrickened in the face of it. Hence the great lesson of man's helplessness and of his Creator's omnipotence. Miss Xelle Sellers was the attractive guest of Miss Julia McGill last iveek. For several days last week, Mrs. W. T. Phillips was the happy hostess to a number of her relatives from Columbia. Among them were her nother, two sisters and a brother, ,vho motored through in the latter's beautiful new Dodge car. Mrs. Epps and grand-daughter, Vliss Pearl Chandler, are on a two weeks' vacation among relatives in \Torth Carolina. Miss Julia McGill is attending a louse party at Mrytle Beach as a fuest of her friend, Miss Nelle Selers of Sellers. On August 2 a delightful evening vas spent by the Epworth Leaguers it the home of Mrs. Belle McCulough. Last Sunday Mr. J. Y. McGill and amily motored to Florence to see he former's brother-in-law. Mr. C. 2. Wheeler, who is reported to be in i very critical condition. SLATS' DIARY.
