BEAUTIFYING FARM HOMES.
There is a constant improvement in
the appearance of farm houses. Far- ,
mers no longer like to build houses
without architects’ plans. The taste
fully designed, well arranged, attract
ively-painted, one-story farm housed ,
are indeed gratifying evidences of t
progress. £
They may not be quite so impress- c
ive as the more pretentious of the 1
old ante-bellum homes but they have ]
more modern conveniences and are
planned to save steps and labor and t
really look more “homey” for the I
average small farmer and his family,
Undoubtedly they represent the type | a
of house which should be built by the '
average farmer who takes a new place *
and must erect a new home. I'j
Many of the farm homes built 50 t
to 100 years ago, however, have a *
quaint beauty that should by all (
means be preserved, and their owners e
should be very slow to change their i
exteriors even when some interior '
modeling becomes necessary. We j
passed one such picturesque old home (
on this trip; painted white with green <
blinds, its broad chimney and old-j ’
fashioned red, it nestled among an
cient trees, a heavy mass of English i
ivy concealing and making beautiful i
the place which one trunk had broken ;
rr 1
off. |
On another farm a giant cedar lent
an impressive dignity to what would 1
otherwise have been a plain if not an
ugly home. At still another place a
cedar had been topped to make it
spread its branches wider at the en
trant eway to an old* cottage. For
quite a distance along the roadside
crepe myrtles and pecan alternated.
A weeping willow draped gracefully
over the highway at another point.
Pretty country churches, too, are
much in evidence. Painted a beauti- (
m. s-setlhgew neua nbwhi litrwtifedh ;
ful white with green blinds and with;'
large arched windows affording more '
air and light than was costomary in ! .
old days, many of these church build
ings seem to symbolize the purity and
freshness of a wholesome, tolerant,
sunny faith.—The Progressive Far- '
mer.
o—
Commander Byrd and his compan
ions who crossed the Atlantic and
were forced to land in the ocean
because of a severe storm over
France, encountered many thrilling
and daring experiences. While fail
ing to land at their appointed- place,
their feat was none the less remark
able, for they waged a splendid bat
tle against the weather from the be
ginning of the trip.
o
It is to be hoped that the Legisla
ture will not pass the bill providing
for an increase of 1 cent per gallon
on gasoline, which would make the
tax on that commodity 5 cents per
gallon. This would represent ap
proximately 30 per cent, taxation.
—which on the face of it is unrea
sonable and absurd.
o
The Fourth of July passed off
quietly in Blakely, no accidents to
mar the serenity of the occasion.
Many journeyed to nearby cities or
towns to enjoy the celebrations
planned for the birthday of Uncle
Sam.
o
Don’t dodge responsibility. When
a bee comes under the wind shield,
stop the car yourself instead of
trusing to a telephone pole.—Pub-'
lishers Syndicate.
It took the garter more than 1900
years to win a place in the sun.—
Toledo Blade.
o
Crop prospects have not been bet
ter in many years than they are at
present in Early county.

Field Marshal Haig says the Allies
would have won the war without the
aid of the United States. Gosh! How
we wish they had.—New York Sun.

' A long-legged sheep in the Himal
ayas is able to run 40 miles an hour.
That’s the kind of a little lamb to
follow Mary now-adays.—Arkansas
Gazette.
o
Dr. Cook had some difficulty, as
you recall, in proving that he went
to the North Pole, practically alone,
but it seems to be pretty well es
tablished that Lindbergh has been to
Europe.—Tampa Tribune.
o
The old time practice of kissing
the bride received a jolt at a recent
Rowan county wedding when an
awkward-looking guest was asked if
he had kissed the bride and replied:
“Not lately.”—Hardwood Age.
o
Must be some good features to
the new proposal of financing the
building of paved highways in Geor
gia, recently announced at a meet-'
ing of the Presidents’ Club in Atlan- 1
ta. for vze see State Highway Chair
■ man Holder is opposed to it. Worth ;
| investigating closely, anyway.
o
When You Go to the Seashore, Swim
a Short Time, Then Play
on Beach.
Death by drowning is to be classed
as an avoidable accident, in spite of
the fact that drownings constitute
a large percentage of accidental
deaths, states Dr. E. H. Arnold in
Hygeia. Under certain conditions,
however, swimming and bathing may
be perfectly safe.
One should never go swimming
alone, whether one is a good or a
poor swimmer. It is well to have
some one in a boat or canoe not more
than fifty yards away, in case of
accident.
Beginners should not swim in wa
ter over their depth. Non-swimmers
should not wade in water deeper
than the middle of the chest, unless
they know well the bottom of the
body of water.
One should never stay in the wa
ter long enough to feel chilly. Wom
en are apt to stay warm longer than
men, due to the thicker protective
layer of fat under their skin. In
shallow brooks, inland rivers and
lakes, one may stay in longer with
out becoming chilled than in the
ocean or the Great Lakes, which
never warm up to the same degree
as the smaller waters.
Short swims alternated with pe
riods of play in the sand and sun
are the best. Orfe should be careful
■about sunburn. Any burn that cov
ers more than half the surface of
the body may prove fatal, so it is
well to get gently tanned, exposing
only a little of the body at a time.
