The evangelist came to Anderson under the Methodist con? ference, hut the congregations have been composed of people of all the churches. Several of the meetings have been utter, led by 8,000 and more people, and the whole county has been stirred as never before. More than 4,000 conversions have beea made and the membership of all churches has been largely increased. The people paid the $700 for inci? dental expenses and made a free will offering to Mr. McLendon amounting to nearly $1,700.

There are no jaws, but the mus? cular part of the digestive tube acts as a kind of pump for taking in food. This includes plants and animals. It has a small gizzard, which contains many stones, and these are used in? stead of teeth to grind the food. A good theatrical story was told by Jerome K Jerome at a London club dinner to dramatic authors. "I spoke to an eminent producer not long ago," he said, "about a play a young friend of mine had sent to him. He remem? bered it. 'Ah, yes,' he said. 'Not at all bad. There's an idea in it.' Later on it wasproduced, and after the show I werft behind. 'Well,' said the eminent producer, 'what did you think of it?' 'Oh, all right,' I said. 'It seems all correct. But what about the idea?' He didn't seem to under? stand. The idea,' I reminded him; you said there was an idea in it.' He remembered then. 'Ah, yes,' he Bald. 'Yes. Wg had to cut that out' H Few "Equinoctial" Storrnt. It is a fact of meteorological record that within 200 years there have not been a dozen "storms" that could be "".lied "equinoctial." The sun will be perpendicular with the equator of our earth, say today and tomorrow, be? cause we have reached that axillar ingle when this annular spectacle hap? pens; and there may come a storm, but it will not be because the sun is 'crossing the line," but the result of tho swirling in of the colder atmos? phere to expel the more heated. Even If we have the most tremendous of meteorological demonstrations today or tomorrow, or next day, the occurrence will give no additional substance to the fiction of the "equinoctial storm." How to "Break In" Book. The proper way to "break in" a book is to lay it on its back on a ta? ble, and then open but a few leaves at a time, alternately at the front and at the bock, until you reach the mid? dle of the volume. Seme readers have the bad habit of keeping their place by opening the book until the covers meet, and thsn laying it down, still open. Limp leather bound volumes will stand such treatment, but those bound in boards will not. Almost as bad is tho trick of keeping your place by putting between tho leaves some bulky object.

Cut It Out. TIME FOR SILO-IU 1LD1NG. Over 100 Have laked Clemson for Help. But They Should Not Put Oil W ork Too bong. Clemson College, June 29.?The dairy specialists of Clemson College and the United States department of agriculture have already received re? quests for assistance in the construc? tion of over 100 silos to he built this summer. Practically all these requests come from farmers who state that they expect to begin work on their silos after they have laid by' their crops and many state that they will not be ready until the latter part of August. As it requires about a week to as? sist with each concrete silo, it is ap? parent that only a limited number of farmers can have the services of the Clemson specialists all build at the same time and wait until the end of summer to do that. During July, the college will have four silo experts or more, each of whom will go to farm? ers' homes and assist in building the forms for concrete silos and remain until the forms have been lilled and raised and until a farmer is thorough? ly fandliar with the work and can continue it himself. They will also assist in building stave silos. The extension division of Clemson College has already assisted in the construction of six concrete and two stave silos this summer. These silus were built very cheaply and the farm? ers are well pleased with them. One concrete silo in Lancaster County was built at a cost of only $ 11?0. This silo will hold 80 tons of silage and will poy for itself the llrst year in savings in feed bills. A silo in Riehland county to con? tain 90 tons was built at a cost of $188.94. It will be greatly to the advantage of any farmer who expects to con? struct a silo this year to begin during July and construct the foundation, build the forms and keep at work on the silo at odd times. A silo should be completed at least a month before it is to be tilled for the first time. ON HAND WHEN NOTE COMES. Wilson Will Return to Washington in Time to Consider Communication From Germany.

Clear, sparkling water is not al? ways pure water. A refreshing draught from "the old oaken bucket" may be the beginning of a long and possibly fatal illness from typhoid fe? ver, dysentery, cholera or other dis? ease. The subject of pure water suppliea for drinking and cooking purposes is discussed in a bulletin just issued by the United States Public Health Ser? vice under the title " Good Wiater for Farm Homes." ** The germs <5f the so called wat?r borne disease come from the bodies of persons afflicted with those diseas? es. They do not live long outnlde of the body and do not originate spon? taneously in nature. A few diseases are communicate from animals to man, but for the most part the gerrna which get into drinking water and produce disease tome only from hu? man beings. If we keep the wast? products from the bodies of human beings and animals away from our water supplies, we keep the water free from disease germs. The usual sources of farm water supplies are wells, springs and cis? terns. Running streams are so sel? dom free from dangerous pollution that without publication they cannot often be considered safe for domestic use. The most common form of supply is the shallow well, reaching into a layer of earth saturated with water. Few of these are fed by flowing streams, except in limestone forma? tions, and they are really little more than reservoirs for "surface water." Since they drain the surface for a ra? dius of sometimes several hundred feet, their location with reference to stables. out-ho*.?scs and stock pens t* a matter of prime importance. - Other possible sources of pollution are a leaky or loose well casing, a defective curb, or a cover that is not water- tight. The best methods of constructing such wells and protect ing their consents are set forth in this bulletin of . the Public Health Service. Artesian wells, driven wells, cis? terns and natural springs are also discussed in this publication, and safeguards against pollution presrib ed. It if SotnetftneS impossible to flan cv.ro pure trailer for drinking md cooking, and methods of purification must ba adopted, it should be borne In mind uibo that "ace a safe isuppiy is obtained, Its purity Is insured only by the continued observance of the principles of common sense and com? mon cleanliness. These are neither difficult nor expensive. - I BEEF TYPE BULLS. I Southern Cotton Oil Mills Adopt Plan to Encourage Raising of Beef Cat* The Southern Cotton Seed Crush-, ers' Association, at the annual meet* ingg which was held at Old Point Comfort, Va., last week, tentatively adopted a plan that, when put into operation, will prove an immediate stimulus, to the extension of beef cat* tie industry in the South. The asso? ciation decided that eacn oil mill shall purchase a registered bull of a beef breed to be kept at the mill for the cattle raisers of the vicinity, the ser? vice to be free or only a normal charge to be made. By this means It is expected that greater interest in the raising of beef cattle will be develop? ed in a shorter time than would oth? erwise be possible, and that by cross? ing standard types of beef cattle on the native stock the value of the cat? tle on the farms of tho South will be largely increased within a few yeara. The plan has not been completely worked out in detail, but it is practi? cally assured that it will be carried out in cooperation with the live stock department of the agricultural col? leges, the bulls being seelcted and purchased by the live stock experts of the colleges. In this State the oil mills will work in cooperation with Clemaon college. . \ I The cotton seed oil mills are as vt I tally interested in the development lof the live stock industry in the South, as the farmers themselves, since the establishment of eattle raising on a large scale means the creation of a local market lor cottoi. seed meal that will absorb the output of tho nillls|i At the present time a market fsf cot? ton seed meal and cake has to bo sought in Europe, and a. local mar? ket is preferable, apart from the fact that the development of the live stock. Industry In the South means crop dl Iversification, soil fertility and general ' prosperity. The oil mills sell mil? lions of tons of cotton seed meat to the Southern farmers tor use as fer? tilizer, but it is recognized that tho use of cotton seed meal for fertiliser is mu economic waste, and that tho most profitable way to use cotton seed meal is to feed it to eattle. since by Ithis method the farmer obtains the feeding value of the meal :?nd th-e fer? tilizer value at the same time.
