BIG DAY AND NIGHT AT
UNION HIGH SCHOOL.
Last Friday at the 1 won High ,
School in Montgomery county tlx*
Farmers’ Union held an all day
session, with dinner on the ground
and then at night the Fiddlers
Convention held forth, and those
good folks over there carried ;
enough good things to eat to sup
ply slipper for the hundreds who
attended hotll of these meetings.
Speeches were made in the
morning byseveral gentlemen and
1 lie business sessions of the l won
were profitable ones.
Jn the afternoon White House
baseball team walloped the Me-
Kao boys by a score of 7 to <5, and
the only excuse t he Meltue boys
can ntl'er for this, is that they fed
them so high that they were phy
sically unable to cope w ith those
boys w ho were accustom, d to such
fine fare.
The Fiddlers were t here at, night
in all their glory and their music
was greatly en joyed. Report Inis
it, that the (iddling got so lively
toward the hist that two of the
oldest tiddlers could not stand the
leniptat ioii to t rip the light fan
tastic toe a few St eps.
The iniisie by Mcßae's band
was a greatly appreciated feature.
The writer could not he present
on this occasion, and this is only
some of the things that have been
reported to us, but no matter
what seeming exaggerations may
Im mentioned, we an- prepared to
believe anything good said of
these folks, because we have been
out there.—Telfair Enterprise.

GET OUT OF T HE OLD RUT.
It is a very 1 anientable fact
that so many of eur boys look
with disdain upon the idea of r»-
tnaing on the fario. but an invf s
jtigution sometinsw reveals the
fact that the boy has good grounds
for his bad opinions of farm life,
-ays the Dallas New Era. Often
It IS .because bis father is using no
modern methods, but is following
the same old beaten trail. <>ur
| entire industrial life is imbued
I wit h tin* spirit of progress and in
vention, and unless our farmer
friend drops in line he will soon
|,c out of the procession and his
boy gone to the city. If our
farmers would adopt modern
machinery m their farming op-j
editions and keep apace with
modern agricultural methods,
the re would be less, attraction tor
the boy in tile town and city.
A dilapidated home and barn,
a rusty set, of harness, a ram
shackle buggy and wagon, and no
machinery hut a haltered plow
stock and screaking cotton plan
ter, i« enough to drive any boy to j
more pleasant and progressive
surroundings!
j Put your buildings in repair,
oil up your harness and ma
chinery, tighten up some holts,
’ subscribe for some good papers
and magazines, make your farm
life attractive and the boy would
rut herst ay t him leave.
If you let appearance indicate
that you are going down hill at
farming, you needn’t expect the
boy to stay and go down, too. —

FIFTY OUT OF TEN THOUSAND GIRLS. 1 ,
Nine thousand nine hundred I
and fifty girls out of every ten
J thousand are sacrificed in our
method ot education, according to
Katharine Eggleston in Woman’s
Home Companion for July*. Out
of every ten thousand girls who
enter our primary schools only
fifty go to college, yet every one
of the ten thousand is prepared
j for college. The nine thousand
nine hundred and fifty who will
be wage-earners anil homemakers
are entirely neglected. For
example, says Miss Eggleston:
“Helen’s school has not made
work popular, so to-day Helen
has several ideas firmly implant
ed in her brain First, education
offers a sure escape from domestic
work,which is of all work the most
| menial. Second, the woman who
lias an income of her own is more
independent, than the woman who
makes a home for a man who pro
vides the income, therefore she is
to he emulated. Third, the sim
plest method of acquiring one’s
own income is to seek work in the
commercial or industrial world.
“Right here we find Helen des
tined to become the victim of sex
competition. Helen does not
know this,but in time she pays the
price of the conditions. When “
Billy Smith, her ex-classmate, ►
goes to work in a store or office, ►
she goes with him, perhaps work- ►
ing elbow to elbow. Before long ►
Billy Smith discovers that if there ►
were not so many ‘Helens’ in his ►
►
line of work, earning just enough ►
to pay mother some hoard and ►
meet dressmaking and millinery ►
bills, he would receive more sal- a
ary and secure promotion sooner. ►
“Unless Billy was very much in ►
love with Helen while in school, ►
I the breach between them widens. ►
Helen is proud of her equality ►
| with Billy at the office or store, ►
but Hilly resents Helen’s inter- •
foreiico with his earning capacity .I
and his future. Helen is no longeri„
a matrimonial possibility in Bil-lg
ly’s eyes. She lias become a bus- >z
iness rival. And if Helen has been j
secretly nursing any infection for j|;
Billy, she soon faces the realiza-1 j;
! t ion that this dream ts over. But z!
she does not know why. For all |;
her ‘education’, Helen is less the zj
woman, less the Eve, less subtle ?!;
than her mother was before her.” U
