w omen Good Mechanics. According to a report of the na tional industrial conference board, women in wartime employment showing a remarkable adapt ability for machine shop work. The report summarizes informa turn obtained from lift establish ments employing men and 49.823 women and including 10,657 women engaged in work formerly performed exclusively by men. Their labor, says the Christian Herald, has ranged from the ope ration of drill presses and lathes to coremaking, inspecting and as sembling mechanical products end •.‘(■-.••forming many precise machine operation. In the main it has byn confined to the lighter pro cesses requiring rapidity and dex terity, and in such work their out put has proved equal to and fre quently greater than that of male •employees. This was notably true of women’s work in automobile manufacture and in a munition manufacturing luses, where wo men operatives on drill presses and milling machines were from 25 to 50 per cent more rapid than men. Good Roads. To see what happens at the end of tiie good road, a public road specialist of the department of ag riculture recently had observa tions made in different sections of country. Observers noted many ■country - bound teamsters who drove two loaded wagons, hitched one behind the other, to the end of the good road, where they left the wagon by the roadside to be returned for later while all the power of their teams was devoted to hauling a single wagon over the unimproved, highway. Farmers bound for market fre quently were seen to haul wood and similar products to the begin ning of the good road, there dumping them and returning for a second load. When this arriv ed, the two loads were consolidat ed and easily hauled by a single team the remaining distance to .market over the improved road. First Quakers. The first Quakers to land on American soil were Mary Fisher .and Ann Austin, who reached Boston in 1(156 after a long voyage from England by way of the West Indian island of Barbados. The two women caused great conster nation to the Puritans, and George Bishop, in an address to the mag istrates, said: “Two women arriving in your ’harbor so shock ye, to the ever lasting shame of you and of your •established order, as if a formida ble army had invaded your bord ers." The Quaker sect, or Society of Friends, was founded by Fox in 1648, about eight years before the first members reached America on July 11, 1656. Later •George Fox visited America. The part played by William Penn and other Quakers in the early history of Pennsylvania and New Jersey as familiar to all students of his tory. How a Salesman Suffered. R. J. Porter, Sterling, Colorado, •writes: “For six months 1 suffer ed with a painful weak back. As a traveling salesman I had to stop frequently to pick up my grips, which 1 grew to dread as the pain when 1 straightened up was awful. Neinerous remedies failed to reach tny case. 1 was induced to .try Foley Kidney Pills. Relief was immediate. Say, they are great! Anyone afflicted as I was should try a bottle or two of Foley Kid ney Pills.” Good for pain in the back, rheumatic pains, aching joints, sore muscles. The McDon ough Drug Co. In Memory. The angel of death entered* the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chap ! pell last Saturday night and took | from them their tiny infant son, Clem. We are again reminded of the fact that death is abroad in the land and that God giveth and God taketh away. Why God has taken little Clem unto Himself we cannot say, but there is no doubt that he is in heaven. Pie was too good for this world of sin and sorrow. Do not grieve, dear loved ones, he is happier with Jesus. He is wait ing tor the time when he can wel come vou there. His suffering has ended, and as he lay in the tiny coffin, white and still, his spirit wended its way to heaven where Jesus waited with open arms, for He said, “Suffer little children to come unto Me.” Clem leaves a father, mother, three sisters and one brother to mourn his loss. The funeral and interment was held Sunday, «at the Hampton Christian church, Rev. McMullin conducting the services. Mlis Loving Aunt. Welcome for Twins. Capt. Normrn Thwaites of the British intelligence department said the other day : “The sugar shortage is felt keenly over the water. It’s odd how you miss your sugar over there. You long for it as you’d long for tobacco. “A Bayswater special constable hurried home from his beat at the Marble Arch the other evening to be present on a very interesting occasion, and, as he sat in his li brary in the small hours, the nurse came to him and said : “ ‘lt’s all right, sir.’ “The Bayswater man swallow ed; he moistened his dry lips; then he asked : ‘ls it a boy ?’ “The nurse smiled soothingly. “ ‘Ope of ’em’s a boy, sir,’ she said. “And the Bayswater man, in stead of turning pale or somther ing an c ath, as he’d probably done in peace time, uttered a glad cry of joy. “ ‘Thank heaven !’ he exclaimed, ‘that gives us two extra sugar ra tions.’ ”• Easily Arranged. One beautiful summer night, when the crickets were chirping in the grass and the caterpillars were dropping from the trees, John Henry turned to the charm ing girl who was sitting on the veranda at his side.* “Edith,” said he timorously, “there comes to me a thought, I might say a fear.” “Well, what is it?” queried the fair girl, as the other hesitated. “I suppose,” responded John Henry, suggestively, hopefully, “that were I to steal a kiss you would have me arrested ?” “Perhaps,” was the ready re joinder of the girl, “but you could find somebody to pay your fine, couldn’t you. ?” H. G. Hardison & Co. Byron, Ga., Apr. 11, 1917. Old Kentucky Mfg. Co., Paducah, Gy. , Gentlemen: , I had cholera in my herd of hogs recently and begun feeding the B. A. Thomas Hog Cholera Cure and stopped losing hogs at once. 1 was losing from four to five each night until I began the use of this preparation. I raise about 200 head of hogs per year and never expect to be without your remedy. Yours very trulv, H. G. Hardison & Co, Henry County Supply Co. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY. McDONOUGH, GEORGIA Patriotic Example. The manufacturers of a bottle soft drink, the Chero-Cola Com pany, deserve commendation for a patriotic example. There is little use just now to advertise their drink, for the restrictions in the use of sugar limit production to an amount less than the demand, but these manufacturers realize the necessity for keeping their product in the public eye and they are as much news paper space as before (they have for several years been very liberal advertisers) and give their space to patriotic purposes. They boost ed the Fourth Liberty Loan and now are advertising United War Work. After the war is over, these people and their product will not be forgotten.—Tilton Ga zette. Bird Songs. It was the morning of June 50. I stood at the gate of the farm house where three roads met, and the air was full of bird songs. ■For-a long time I stood there and tried to note how many different songs 1 could hear. Nea/ by were the alto joy- notes of the Baltimore oriole. Up from the meadow where the trout flowed came the bubbling, gurgling nnfps of the bobolink. Robins, wood thrushes, song sparrows, chipping sp trr.o-.vs, bluebirds, vireos, gold finches, chebees, indigo birds, flickers, phoebes, red-winged black birds, scarlet tanagers, catoirds, house wrens —altogether, without mov ing from my place, I counted 33 different bird songs and bird notes —Samuel Scoville, Jr., in Atlantic.
