While his train traveled at twenty-five miles an hour he jumped from the engine into a creek and saved the life of Will?am Alexander, a school boy, who had been struck by the eneine and thrown into fifteen, feet of wateiy The boy died later, however, in a hospital. The train had gone ahead almost a mile before the engineer missed Driscoll and when he stopped and hacked up, he saw the fireman sit, ting at the edge of the creek, holding the boy, who was unconscious from a fracture of the skull. Persons who saw the rescue said Driscoll dived four times before he found the boy, who sank immediately. CHRISTMAS ACCIDENT Bennie Davis, son of Mr. Frank Davis, deceased, accidentally discharged his shot gun Saturday evening, shooting off his middle toe of his right foot. It is singular that no other toe was damaged by the discharge. Bennie received medical uttention and is doing al! right.

W. Laney, of Buford township, made this remark to us a few days ago: "The boll weevil is not going to hurt the farmer who has j been getting ready for his comingl" Mr. Laney got interested in better cattle about seven years ago, pur- j chased a pure bred bull and later purchased a pure bred heifer of the same breed He has been improving his herd by the use of goodl sires until now, and his income from his cows is about equal to his income from his cotton, and he is not growing any less cotton, than he did before he oegan keeping cows. Whether we want to do it or not [ we have got to adjust our agriculture to boll weevil conditions and the sooner we begin the better for us. Another thing we can do this coming year and one that we should have done long ago, and would have done but for cotton, that is made a pas-j ture for the cows. To dk> this the] land should be broken now, and sowed t in February or March. Select a good i piece of land, land that will grow j good corn will grow good grass, break . it now if dry enough to plow, when the land gets dry in February or March, sow ten pounds of herd grass ( ten pounds of orchard grass, four 1 pounds white clover, and seven' pounds of Japan clover per acre, and then forget it for a year and you will hnve a good pacture. Three acres of good land will graze four or five cows., The suggestions outlined may not be UIICICJUIIK lu UK now DUX IX IS not | too early to cultivate an interest in them. DEBS AND HARDING HOLD CONFERENCE Washington, Dec. 26.?Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist leader whose tenyear prison sentence for violation of the Espionage Act was commuted on Christmas Day, came here today direct from the Atlanta federal penitentiary and called upon President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty. Mr. Daugherty said' that Debs came of his own "volition," while Debs det lared his visit to Washington was at the "request" of the Attorney General and that he was given a railroad 1 ticket to the capital by the warden of the penitentiary without choice of destination, although he had planned to go immediately to his home at Terre Haute, Ind. - ...

By Mary Ca<iil? Haynie Use milk. Use it freely. A quart a day for every child is not too muqih, and each should have at lsast a pint. Plenty of milk gives your children the chance for health they ought to have. It helps them to grow, to keep well, and to build strong, vigorous bodies. Grown-ups, too, will And it wholesome and desirable; while In ] old age, with the need1 of ample fare, * milk is commonly and largely depended upon. Wholesome, readily digested, and containing valuable nutritive material, milk is greatly depended upou 1 in the diet of the sick and the convalescent. A mother having the responsibility of the development and R nourihsment of an nfant should usek a quart of milk a day in order ioB' meet this additional physical demand. | Use milk for strong, bones, teeth, and muscles. Milk gives us protein for building muscles and other body tissues. It also gives us calcium (limo) which is needed for our bones and teeth, and for other uses. Protein and lime are also repairing our bones and muscles and other body tissues which are used and replaced as a result of normal wear and tear of our bodiep. Well-developed muscles and strong, well formed bones and teeth are just as essential for a strong body as are good materials and good construction for a well-built engine. Strong, healthy teeth are not onl* health, but they also racist decay. Milk should not be the only food for . children. Fruits, vegetables, cereal grains and their products, as well as j butter and limited amounts of other wholesome fats, eggs, and similar foods, should be used to form a wellrounded diet. The diet of many American families consists too largely of | meat, potatoes, white bread and cof. fee. All these are low in lime. On that dental clinca are increasingly that dntal clinics are increasingly , necessary in our public schools. A quart of milk contains as much lime ! as 28 pounds of beef, 23 pounds of , potatoes, or 9 pounds of w^it* bread. Milk helps you grow and keep well. , Recently it has been found that in ] addition to the substances we have i ionig been familiar with certain foods, < including milk, contains other sub- , stances necessary for normal growth 1 and development. These are commonly dalled "vitamines."' Unless our i food supplies them, under-develop- , ment and iiiness will result, which ] le&uii, may cccome serious or fatal i if the deficiency is long continued, It < is generallybelieved that if fat soluble { A, one of the vitanunps, is lacking, j growth is checked and liability to se. j rious eye diseases and other infec- i tions and diseases is increased. In water-soluble E is not supplied, body 1 development is hindered and diseases j develop more easily. A lack of a < third vitamine, water-soluble C, may be a cause of scurvy and some of i those common infections to which < teeth are subject. Milk is rich in fat- ' soluble A (particalarly whole milk, ' cream and butter), and it also sup- i plies some water-soluble B and fresh milk, especially contains some water- ] soluble C. Here are added reasons for t considering milk an important food for all, but particalarly babies and 1 for growing boys and girls. ] Milk gives us energy and strength. < It supplies energy for the needs of < the infant's body, and adds to the fuel 1 food of the child and the adult. Milk | fat and sugar (typical fuel foods) are ] both found in milk. A quart of whole milk contains J14 ounces pf fat, The ' milk sugar in a quart of either skim milk of whole milk should fill three tablespoonfuls. Milk proteins also add < to the fuel supply. A dollar spent for i different kinds of food does not yield I a like quantity of fuel in all cases, 1 any more than does a dollar spent i for wood, coal, gas, or electricity, i Milk is a reasonably cheap source of < body fuel, I Use clean milk. For health's sake 1 it in important that milk should be I fresh, clean and wholesome. If you t produce your own* milk, see that the i cows are healthy and1 clean. Keep the 1 milk clean, cold and covered, If you < buy milk, be sure that it is clean. 1 Your board of health can help you in j this. If you are uncertain of your milk supply, it is safest to use pasterized milk. Use All dairy products,milk, butter, 1 cheese and buttermilk, and ice cream. Use them as part of the regular meal, not merely as an addition to it. Milk and its products are among the best foods we have, WE GUARANTEE #36.00 per week for full time or 75c. an hour for spare time selling guaranteed Hosiery. Agents making $76.00 to $100.00 per week.

Even at that, however, the price is higher than it need be, for nature manages to maintain the supply in every tract of wild land without importing fertilizers from abroad, and we would profit by adopting more of Nature's meth oda. Nature uses two methods for maintaining the supply. First, she conserves. Whenever a leaf becomes of no use to a tree it is shed and falls to the ground. Similarly, other waste mateiials fall to the ground and become part of the soil. Stated briefly, Nature's method of conserving nitrogen is to return all waste materials to the soil very soon/ after they become wastes. This feature has a great deal to do with her ability to increase the fertility of the soil which runs wild. But even nature is unable to return all of the nit:ogen to the soil in chape to b" of use to ',\ants. There is inevitably some loss even here. Consequently she must have tome means of replenishing the soil supply or eventually the ."soil would be com pletely exhausted. This replenishing is accompli-thd chiefly by certain lowly plants, which have the unusual ability of taking nitrogen irom xne lrvexnaustible supply in the air and using: it in the same way that other plants use the soluble supply in the soil. When they die most of the nitrogen thus secured from the air is added to the soil. These are said to be "nitrogen-fixing" plants; and the most important ones from this standpoint are certain bacteria. There are two general types of bacteria which "fix" nitrogen. The bacteria of one type lie in ordinary soils. The other type comprises the "legume" bacteria, or "nodule," bacteria, so-called because they grow in the roots of legumes (clovers, beans, peas, etc.) and cause round galls or nodules to develop. This method of growth is mutually favorable, for the laguma furnishes a good place to grow and food of one kind to the bacteria and the bacteria furnishes nitrogen to the legume. ' The amount of nitrogen so furnished is often very great, as may be observed by noting the difference in size of legumes with and without nodules on a. soil poor in nitiogen. And the amount of nitrogen available for succeeding plants where legumes are returned to the soil is very great, as may be observed by planting crops after legumes have been plowed under. This is the most important source of nitrogen for the soil, either in nature or under cultivation. A small amount of combined or "fixed" nitrogen is added to the soil n rain water and snow, but the amount is ccmpartively unimportant Farmers have still another method, not used by nature, by which they can increase the nitrogen supply. They can apply commercial nitrogen. This is expensive but has special calue under some circumstances, ana jhould be used in most cases to supplement and not to take the place of he other sources mentioned. The most effective measures for maintaining soil nitrogen on the farm as well as in nature, are careful conservation, utilization of the work af soil bacteria, and utilization of the work of legume bacteria. And the legume bacteria are the most important of all. NEST EGGS OF NAPHTHALENE INEFFECTIVE AGAINST LICE Nest oggs made of naphthalene, claimed or suggested by manufacturers to be destroyers or repellants or lice, might be bad eggs rather than "lice exterminating eggs," "lice killing nest eggs," and "medicated nest eggs," for they do not seem to inconvenience the lice or mitas, but they do have a bad effeot on the fowls that sit on them. In fact the entomo logists of the United States Department of Agriculture who have examined and tasted these socalled "eggs" say that they are very injurious to fowls, but not in a single case were they found effective against the parasites, Even the nest boxes in which they were placed remained badly infested with mites and they were frequently observed crawling over the naphthalene eggs.

An immense cedar tree was placed on the square near the postoflice, brilliantly lighted with electric lights and crowned with a five-pointed electric star.The Choral Society sang a number of 1 Christmas carols, and after some ap- < propriate remarks by Mayor L. A. i Meiklejohn, a eritable Santa Claus, looking just like his picture, appeared and distributed candy and gifts to all chldren under 12 years of age. Each I child was then given a free ticket to i the merry-go-round. It is the intention of the town to have such a tree every year hereafter. Bargain: Fine Fi We still have many E I Hardware.

PEACE ON EARTH To look back upon the past year, and see how little we have striven, and to what small purpose, and how often we have been cowardly and hung back, or temerous and rushed unwisely in; and how every day and all day long we have transereaaed th? law of kindness; it may seem a paradox, but in the bitterness of there discoveries a certain consoU ion resides. Life is not designed to minister to a 1 man's vanity. He goes upon his long business most of the time with a hanging head, and all the time like a child. Full of rewards and pleasure as it is, so that to see the daybreak or the moon rise, or to meet a friend, or to hear a dinner call when he is hun- y gry, fill him w'tli surprising joys? this world is yet for him nor abiding city. Friendshps fall through, health fails, weariness assails him; year af- 1 ter year he must thumb the hardly J varying record of his own weakness and folly. It is a friendly process of detachment. When the time comes that he should go, there need be few illusions left about himself. Here lies one who meant well, tried a little, failed much; surely that may be his epitaph, of which he need not be ashamed.
