Ermon Haag of Larned, Kansas, member of the Pawnee County Pig Club fed a barrow as his 1922 pro ject, and by good care and prop er feeding for one hundred and twenty days, he put 310 pounds on it, or an average of 2.6 pounds per day. His father had a herd of about the same breeding. The boy’s barrow was a pure bred Poland China, and the father’s were high grades of the same breed. The latter were made to rustle for their feed, and a typical barrow of his group gained seventy-five pounds, or .62 pounds per day during the same period. “I consider that the lad’s pig ~beflt the father’s because it was given better care when small, also because the boy kept it free from lice and worms, while the father’s were infected with both,” says (ar] L. Howard, Pawnee County Agent and Pig Club leader. “The boy’s hog was given all the grain it ■ could eat and all the skim milk it could drink, while the father’s pig was limited on grain and had no milk.” The lad’s account at the end of his project stood as follows: Pig, 100 lbs, at .07, $7.00; 1 bu corn at .70, $5.95 2 lbs tankage, at 03 1-2, .70; 1-2 bu. wheat at •SO, .40; 920 lbs. milk, at .50 $1.60 Oil for pig, .05; Total cost of pig $18.72. The lad sold the pig on a poor market getting only $5.75 per cwt. he pig weighed 410 pounds which at $5.75 amounted to $23.75 leaving a profit of $4.85. Old dogs are learning new tricks,” from the pig club boys and girls these day,s and many farmers are witnessing the fulfill ment of the prediction that “A lit tle child shall lead them.” WOODROW WILL VS. SHAKESPEARE. How many words do you know the meaning of? The average per son can read and understand from 8000 to 10,000 different words. Dr. Frank H. Vietelly makes this estimate. He’s managing editor of the New Standard Dictionary. Quite different matter is the number of words we have at the tip of our tongues and use in talk ing, compared with words we grasp when we read them. ' cry few of us use more than 7000 words in talking, according to some authorities who have checked up. Shakespeare’s vocabulary includ ed about 24,000 words. Woodrow Wilson, in 75 speech es used 6221 words, and Dr. Vize telly estimates that Wilson in his writing used a vocabulary of at least 60,000 words. Words change style the same as Dr. Vizetelly comments. He illustrates by pointing out that the sport who wore a silk shirt was formerly called a dude, but the word “dude” has gone out of style, now that the rank and file of the People can afford silk shiits. Changing word styles are more evident in slang. “p ut on a litt]e speed” changed to “Make it snappy,” then to “Jazz it up ” Once she was a ‘ flirt,” now a ■vamp.” The “cop” of a former generation now is called a “bull.” In another century no one will be able to read one of George Ades “Fables In Slang” and under stand it without using a slang dic tionary, for slang rapidly becomes obsolete and forgotten. Most of the short stories by O. Henry aer similarly handicapped. Richard Huelot compiled the first dictionary in 1552. The sup ply of words has grown enormous ly since then. Contemplate a modern dictionary, growing rapid . Iy to suitcase size though printed in small type on thin paper, and it is hard to believe that such a maze of words are made up of varying • combinations of only 26 letters of the alphabet. The finest shades of emotion, the infinite ramifications of hu manl thought, as well as every thing in our dimensional material world—all these can be expressed accurately and graphically by changes in the mathematical ar rangement of 26 alphabetical letters. The simple little alphabet is right up near the head of the list of greatest inventions. DRUNK FOR SIX YEARS. Guinea pigs that have been drunk six days a week for six years are being studied by scient ists of Cornell University Medi cal College. They get their jag by inhaling alcohol fumes much more potent than drinking, for the intoxicant reaches them, through their lungs. Worse and more of it, these drunken guinea pigs seem not to be injured by their chronic drunk enness. They are as heavy as pro hibition guinea pigs, also as healthy, and live as long. But the alcohol takes its toll in the second generation. Few' offspring are born to the alcoholics, and the ones that are born are decidedly inferior to the offspring of abstainers. The third generation of guinea pigs, born from hard drinking an cestors, are better than the sec ond generation, but not up to nor mal. The fourth generation, however, puzzle John Barleycorn’s enemies. For, while only hardy ones live, the survivors are stronger, heavier and more alert than guinea pigs whose ancestors indulged not in the fiery cup. All of this, of course, is a sort of post mortem on J. Barleycorn, an attempt by scientists' to learn the truth about alcohol’s effects in heredity. About 7000 guinea pigs have, to date, been used in the experiments. It’s too early in the game to make definite announcements. But it begins to look as if the experi ments show that alcoholism is bad for individuals but that it may benefit the race by weeding out the unfit —eliminating weaklings early in life or preventing their birth altogether. Dr. Charles R. Stockard, head of the Cornell guinea pig invesi gators, say: “Should any one deside to apply these experimental results to the human alcohol problem, it might be claimed that some such elimin ation of unfit individuals has bene fited the races of Europe, since all of the dominant races have a def inite alcoholic history, and the ex cessive use of alcohol was decided ly more general three or four gen erations ago than it is today.” Similarly, it will be at least three generations before the ef fects ,of liquor prohibition can be estimated with accuracy. The ef fect on our generation will be much less than on our descen dants. SAVINGS EXPRESS THRIFT OF COUNTRY. An increase of more than $682,- 000,000 in one year in the amount of savings on deposit in the Unit ed States is reported by the sav ings bank division of the American Bankers Association whose annual compilation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1922 has just been published, as it requires about a year to gather and compile the data from all of the institutions which receive savings deposits, ac cording to the well informed Man ufacturer’s Record. This exhibit of thrift is splendid evidence of the progressive char acter of a large portion of our population, especially in view of the fact that the aggregate of sav ings deposits is more than $17,- 300,000,000. There was also an increase of very nearly 5 per cent in the number oi savings deposi tors during the same year and it is also shown that the number of school children having savings de posits increased from about 803,- 000 to more than 1,271,000 in the same period. The total deposits are distrib uted among the several classes of institutions as follow: Mutual sav ings banks, $5,696,439,000; State banks and Trust Companies, $7,- 530,292,000; National banks, $4,- 074,281,000. There are 621 mutu al savings banks with average de posits of $590 in seventeen states; the number of state banks is 20,- 308 and trust companies, 1489 in twenty-eight states, with average savings deposit of $503; the num ber of national banks in the coun try is 8235, with average savings deposit of $334. It is to be noted that in most of the states there are no mutual savings banks, hence the small number reporting. Alto gether there are 30,323,320 sav ings deposited accounts in the United States, an increase of 3,- 685,489 during the year.

D. Lockhart has gone to Way nesville, N. C., where she will spend the remainder of the summer sea son. Miss Martha Wheatley has re turned from an extended visit to Macon, much to the delight of her many friends. UnUder the soft rays of the Au gust moon a party of young people journeyed to Myrtle Springs Fri day, where till we small hours they reveled in the beauties of the popular resort.

The wind and the weather destroy them at last And over their ruins we stumble. I hough high be the battlements, thick be the wall, 7 hough lofty their chambers and splendid, let sooner or later they topple and fall And all of their splendor is ended. 01., men must build castles of iron and stone To house their material glories, Stiong castles whose beauty and wonder are known And told in the bravest of sories; Yet these, too, shall pass as the centuries beat Against their great bastions and towers, And they shall be dust ’neath humanity’s feet In ages far distant from ours. The castles of granite and steel fade away, But ever more brillinatly gleaming Out dream castles stand with their parapets gay And all of their bannerets streaming; No foe can destroy them, time storms them in vain, They' glow with enchantment supernal, The castles of stone turn to dust of the plain, But Castles in Air are eternal.

Exhibiting intense irritation, the ! schoolteacher flounced into the home of Pattrick Hogan, Sr. “It’s about that son of yours,” she complained. “He was very ini pertinent to me today. I asked him why and he replied rudely that he j didn’t give a hoot.” The father studied ponderously. | THE AMERICUS the examination of three young ladies who had presented themselv-i es for admission to the Girls Nor mal and Industrial school ata Mil ledgeville, and three bright and am bittious girls will represent Sum ter at Milledgeville the next ses sion.

When a wagon carrying four bales of cotton rolled in from the country yesterday and unloaded at the Council warehouse the news went forth that cotton was count ing in by the wagon load. It tran spired, however, that it was a lot of old cotton which the owner, a Mr. Hart, of Schley county, had carried over. A big business this fall is what the Pinkston Company is expecting, and their buyers, Messrs. Brown McLendon and Walter Page, are already in New York busily engag ed in selecting the choicest and most varied stock of fall goods that can be secured for the large circle Mr. Thomas B. Hooks has pur of customers, of that popular firm, chased the interests of Dr. E. L. Murray in the drug business here tofore conducted under the style of Hooks Pharmacy. The business, Mr. Hooks announced last night would for the present be under the management of Glenn Hooks, who assumes this new duty tomorrow. Little Miss Ann Walker cele brated her birthday on Saturday af ternoon of last week inviting a number of her friends to a pretty party at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Walker on Lee street.
