I don’t see how there's room left for a decent house lot in the whole slate.” "Well, now, And your specs and read what It says,” counseled Aunt Mary, abandoning her socks to look over Uncle Dick’s shoulder. “Perhaps they’re only prospecting the roads as yet; maybe they won’t be built any more'n some o’ these western towns that’s laid out all so pretty on paper, and now hopes else. Read what It says, father.” “It says,” faltered Uncle Dick, with a confused expression on his face, "Pattern of skirt and jacket (.11 page 372. Pattern of evening waist on page 374.

POINTED WAY TO EFFICIENCY Railway Mall Clerks Really Inventors of System Acknowledged as the Beat Yet Devised. When railway mall cars were first Introduced each clerk was allowed the privilege of doing his work in the way that seemed best to him. Clerks com peted for efficient methods —-some ot them attaching to letters they tied up In bundles a slip on which they wrote: “In case of error report to J. Hlnnk, Route DD.” From this the modern “facing slip” now used was copied. These slips are of great variety, and are used In post offices as well as on the cars. One Is placed on each pack age of letters distributed anil tied for further distribution ou another raH . road system or in a post office. 10v <*ry package can lie identified in this way. If errors are found this slip with notations Is sent through appro priate channels back to the man who made the error. Iu this way clerks are enabled to perfect their skill and add te or change erroneous Items In their knowledge. Teeth Had Wandered. An extraordinary case of a wander lng tooth leaving its normal base fn tlie gum and traveling half way rouud a woman's head is reported from Constance, Switzerland. A wealthy woman named Graunei suffered great pulu from neuralgia which also affected her eyesight. She underwent treatment by leading French, German and Swiss specialists for several years, hut without result. Finally, she consulted a dentist, who by the aid of X-rays discovered a wondering "wisdom” tooth behind her right ear and In dangeroua proximity to the brain. A surgeon successfully removed the tooth and the patient immediately lost her neuralgic pains. Mine. Urauner, who has now com pletely recovered her health, rewarded the deaSst and surgeon witli large fees aad had the wandering tooth mounted la gold. Marks as Wrapping Paper. Murks are so constantly depreelut ing in vulue that the thrifty Teuton Is hard put to find some use for them. They are, of course, of some use In buying clothes and groceries, hut not much. The latest step la the downfall of the mark ims been Hs use In Un wrapping of chocolates. An enter prising candy manufacturer lias dls covered that 20, 30 or 40 pfenning and 1 murk paper money Is a cheaper wrapper for chocolate* titan tinfoil, especially when one must purchase tinfoils wltii marks. In addition the money wrappers offer an in duceinent to the speculative candy buyer who wishes to bold murks for a rise. Mrs. Harris' Brood.

He gazed at the newly murrled young woman as if he thought she were a victim of temporary Insanity. “Did you say you wanted a —a leuu chicken, ma’am?” he queried. “Certainly, 1 did,” and the young woman’* expression took an added dig olty.

UNDERWOOD ] t MT. VERNON, GA, : F 4 AAAAXXAAANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAm Mr. Petty'began improving his cotton in 1916 or 1917 by the sin gle stalk selection method, being very careful to keep records on the different plots and having his cotton ginned on a private gin on the H. A. Petty farm, thereby keeping his seed absolutely pure as he did not gin for the public. Mr. Petty has continued the above method until now, his suc cess is quite evident and the de mand for Petty's improved cot ton seed is much greater than the supply available and he cannot fill the orders received for seed. Mis cotton has made a very creditable showing in all sections olanted. Mr. Petty has made shipments of his seed, not only out! of the State of Georgia but out of the United States and in to China and Italy. 11 n
