WL Whén the electric lights ceased to burn for a short time Monday evening, there was one grand scram- ble for kerosene lamps, “tallow dips,” ete., in fact any old thing that made light. One fellow struck a match and held it to what he thought was a tallow candle. He almost took a fit when the light be- gan running about the room, under chairs, over the table, here and there. He held the lighted match to the cat’s tail. The Pennsy made one grand mis- take in its excursion to Niagara Falls Sunday. They took the crowd to Buffalo but many re- turned without seeing the falls as they were unable to get out of that city. It would have required all the trolley cars in Western New York state to convey that crowd. For the information of those who couldn’t get there we would say that the place is ‘still running.” Did you notice how many of our folks had golfitis this summer.

Guess that’s true in many other families, too. We. know of a certain congrega- tion in which there is a wicked lady. The pastor was told to try and reform her. He's been calling there regularly ever since in an effort to save her soul. The Assistant Pastor The minister raised his eyes from the notes of his sermon just in time to detect his boisterous young son in the gallery pelting the congregation with horse chest- nuts. While the good man was pre- paring a severe frown of disapprov- al, the young hopeful cried out: “You ’tend to your preaching, dad- dy. I'll keep ’em awake!” It looks as if Kid McCoy is due for the biggest knockout of his life. After a bird has been mar- ried nine times and kills the tenth one he is after, it is high time to put an end to his career. One of the youngsters in one of our grades was late the other morn- ing. The teacher asked the boy the reason and the little fellow said: “Why the sign down there below the school house said: “School a- head, Go Slow.” It do beat all, The other day a fellow who was absent from town for nearly two years and never missed, walked up to me and said: “Well I'm back again. Monday while talking to a kid at school in our Second Grade I was thoroughly convinced that a child is the only thing on earth that can be spoiled and yet is al- ways fresh. An East Donegal man told me this morning that any husband on that avenue is free to go and come when he pleases—if he doesn’t mind seeing his wife pout. A couple fellows in town were in a deuce of a fix yesterday. They had no kids of their own and could- n't borrow any to take to the coun- ty fair so they stayed at home—no excuse. A fellow out in East told me that women are grams—only some of true. to get a new hired man.

Some years ago, through a visit to the county made by the movable school which is a feature of Alabama’s extension work with negro farmers, this planter, T. R. Martin, became convinced that conditions on his plantation would | be improved by having the tenant | boys and girls given some of the | practical training in farm practices | which the extension service affords, in order to help carry out a plan | for more diversified farming. He | is, occordingly, paying the of two of the tenant children in | attending the extension short course at Tuskegee Institute, each expenses | summer. A certain chap in Florin told the | the ones he | Another feature of his plan was | extending his tenants suffi to [become part owners of small dairy herd, some purebred pigs, and a flock of standard bred chick- fens. These are to be increased with {the tenants’ ability to feed and nants and owner care for them. Te |share, also, in the proceeds of a small fruit and nut orchard which has been established, as well as in the regular farm crops, The results of this plan are ap- arent in the well-kept appearance; {of the plantation and the flourish- ing crops in the fields. All of the tenants’ indebtedness has been’ paid, according to reports to the | United States Department of Agri-| culture, and both tenants and land owner are receiving a comfortable living and fair profit from a planta- tion steadily improving in soil fertility and productiveness. A i mrs MOTOR TRUCKS BRING BULK OF CITIES’ MILK SUPPLY The motor truck is now the most important agency for transporting milk from producer to city distri- butor, according to the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. The bureau has recently completed a survey of milk transportation for eight large cities and has found that the motor truck, which first entered the field in 1913, when most of the milk was transported by rail and the remaining portion by wagon, is now the major factor in the field. Of the total amount of milk de- livered to the cities investigated the amounts delivered by motor truck were as follows: Baltimore, 45 per cent; Philadelphia, 20 per cent; Cincinnati, 97 per cent; Detroit, 88 per cent. Milwaukee, 87 per cent; St. Paul and Minneapolis, 94 per cent; and Indianapolis, 94 per cent. This form of transportation has been of great benefit in developing new milk-producing territory for growing cities and has given the farmers a more satisfactory means of delivering their product, The milk moves directly from the far- mer’'s gate to the city’s bottling plant instead of being delivered to the steam or electric railroad sta- tion, hauled by rail, and then de- livered from the city terminal. In the Baltimore area a farmer's cooperative trucking association has been organized with a city ware- | house, where the milk trucks ecall for a return load of farmers’ sup- plies.

Seated ir ris office which overlooks the field of play John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants Base Ball Team, recently directed his players to victory by {:lephone. Being physically disabled the man- ager had been prevented from accom- panying his team to the field for quite some time. Determined to give his players the advice he knew they nceded while they were playing on their home ground the master mind manager, as he 3 called in base ball circles, had a telephone line installed from his office to the players’ bench in the dug out. This enabled the mahager to direct hig team both on the offense and de- fense. His orders were vecelved at the other end of the line by his assistant, who, in turn, signalled them to the players.
