A LIBRARY IS
EASILYJHJILT UP
How Progressive Methods
Get a Response From
Community.
The high school at Clover, S.
C., recently held a very success
ful one-week campaign for its
library. Six hundred new books
were secured in a single week
and at very small cost to the
community. The plans used
should be of interest to other
schools needing better libraries
and lacking funds to buy the
books wanted.
The work began with a teach
ers’ meeting, at which a list of
the books most needed was made,
and plans for the campaign were
worked out. The list of books
wanted was submitted to three
organizations in the town which
were thought likely to be interes
ted in improving the school li
brary, and each organization
agreed to give some of the refer
ence books needed.
Next, an inter-class contest
was put on in the school. To the
class making the best record in
securing gifts of books during
the campaign a beautiful picture
was offered as a prize. The
award was to be made on three
points: the number of books se
cured, the character of the books,
and the condition of the books.
Interest was quickened and more
intense rivalry aroused by daily
announcements of the standing
of the classes. The result was
that the pupils secured gifts of a
great number of worthwhile
books which had been lying un
used and unread on the shelves
of home libraries, besides a num
ber of free-will gifts of money
and new books. All books offer
ed were accepted with thanks,
and later those worthless or unfit
for children were culled out.
Printed slips showing the name
of the giver were pasted in each
book contributed—a plan which
probably helped to secure a larg
er number of donations.
The splendid results obtained
in this campaign could hardly
have been secured by any other
method. It is worth being given
a trial by many other schools. —

Talked Cancer Cure
at Medical Meeting.
The Leon Moye Medical So
ciety, composed of physicians in
the three counties of Toombs,
Montgomery and Treutlen, ob
served Cancer Prevention week
with an appropriate program
here today. Public exercises
were held at 3:30 Thursday af
ternoon at the Colonial Theatre,
an illustrated lecture on cancer
and its prevention being deliver
ed by Dr. J. L. Campbell of Em
ory University. Dr. Campbell
was followed by Dr. E. C.
Thrash, who spoke on tuberculo
sis.
The members of the society
and their guests were entertain
ed at dinner at the Vidalia Hos
pital, following which a cancer
clinic was held. The exercises
at the Colonial were open to the
public and were largely attended.
Cancer Prevention week has
been sponsored by the medical
societies of the country and is
being held for the purpose of
educating the public to the ne
cessity of early treatment. Sta
tistics show that this disease is
taking a fearful toll of lives in the
United States each year, there
being every year over 90,000
deaths from this dread disease.

Mr. Pettyfbegan 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 bis 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.
His cotton has made a very
creditable showing in all sections
planted. Mr. Petty has made
shipments of his seed, not only
outj of the State of Georgia but
out of the United States and In
to China and Italy.
