The red corpuscles tire tiny disc-shap¬ ed particles, swimming in enormous numbers in the blood. They carry oxy gen to the cells in all parts of the body, and they carry away worn-out waste inattcr. Sometimes, especially in the Spring, after the winter indors and more or less sickness, the red corpus¬ cles themselves need rebuilding.

CON. Newton county has been alloted twenty as a minimum quota of del¬ egates for the State Sunday School Con vention, to be held in Macon on April 10. 20. 21, hv the Committee on Arran¬ gements. All Sunday School workers who desire to attend may do so, but the counties reaching their quota will re¬ ceive special recognition. Special re¬ cognition will also he given the coun¬ ty that has loo per, cent attendance of, its county officers. The county offi-t cers will help make up the delegates, as well as count on this 100 per cent at¬ tendance. It is expected that every section of the state will be represented at the State Convention, and it is be¬ lieved that Newton county will exceed its quota of delegates. Bow railroad rates on the certificate plan have been granted. Board for the delegates will be provided at reasonable rates. No registration fee will be charged. Pas¬ tors. Sunday School superintendents, teachers, other school and class offi¬ cers, will receive great inspiration from attending the convention: Further information regarding the convention may lie secured from the of¬ ficers of the County Sunday School Association, President.

NEMATODE RESISTANT UOW TEAS Cow peas arc important in a well es¬ tablished system of soil improvement, because 'they supply humus so much needed in our soils, and also a heap of nitrogen. Their value as nitrogen % gatherers is due to the bacteria which the roots forming the numerous nodules with which growers are familiar. The bacteria which form the nodules are small forms of plant life, and do not seriously injure the cow pea roots with which they are associated. In contrast with the helpful bac¬ teria. there is a very small animal par¬ asite, called an nematode or eel worm, which also attacks the roots of cow peas. These nematodes are harmful to the oowpeas because they injure the roots by breaking up the water-con¬ ducting vessels. They cause an irri¬ tation which results in the formation or galls or root knots. These galls might lie mistaken for the beneficial bacter¬ ial nodules by the casual observer, as both may be found on the same plant. As the harmful nemetodes multiply very rapidly under favorable condit¬ ions they might offset the good done b” the beneficial bacteria. Numerous experiments have been made from time to time in treating soil to kill the nematodes, hut these have all proven impractical, being to expen¬ sive to apply on a field scale. The fail¬ ure of soil treatments lead to the search for resistant plants, and years ago it was found that a variety of cow pea, the Iron, was resistant to the root-knot nematode. This variety was recom¬ mended for use on nematode infested soil. This lead growers to use more productive varieties, and in the search for high-yielding varieties which are very susceptible to root-knot. Tests conducted at the Georgia Ex periment station have shown that the Groit cow pea, a popular high-yielding variety, is seriously attacked by the root-knot nematode, while dther varie¬ ties, such as the Brabham and the Vic¬ tory. a new variety developed by the United States Department of Agricul¬ ture. wihch are also high yielders are resistant to the attack of the root-knot nematode, thus making these later va¬ rieties much better adapted to use On land k,unvn to be infe8ted ' vith thi * Par j asite. JUST WONDERFUL SAYS MISS OHARA J - Memphis Woman Testifies Beneficial Results From Taking' Tanlac So many people throughout the’Un¬ ited States and Canada have testified to having used Tanlac with such splen¬ I did rcsidts following influenza, grippe, j i operation, typhoid t i and „„,i pneumonia, ~ ... and , other troubles which bring on run¬ j down condition, that it has become un- | iversally recognized as one of the most : powerful reconstructive tonics of the! present ago. ■ Another striking statement in con¬ nection with this fact was made !

HE HAD BUSINESS ELSEWHERE Diner Didn't Care to Wait to See the Result of His Carelessness With the Pie. Dr. Fabyan Franklin lias a friend who vouches for this story. Coining downtown on I lie elevated one morn¬ ing, he was struck by tlie explosive temper of a red-faced, choleric man on a seat nearby. This man, annoyed because a youth facing him had placed his feet on the seat which the man oc eupied, hurst out in a storm of pas stop, denouncing the youth in tones th . u aroused the attention of pas-en Kers j n Hte.adjoining cars.

Speaking of juries, a veteran Cleve¬ lander recalls the difficulty experienced in securing a jury in a noted alleged poisoning case of many years ago. One of Hie men summoned was both dense and deaf, with a limited knowl¬ edge of English, defects which were developed as his examination pro¬ ceeded. “Have you formed or expressed any opinion regarding this case?” the law- 1 yer for Hie defense asked. “Hay?” “I say. have you formed or expressed —formed or expressed—do you get that?” "Yes, yes. Farmed or expressed. Sure, I haf farmed and now 1 am ex¬ pressing, lint's all right.” But the expressman was excused. Amber Long in Use. I The modern use of oil of amber, both externally and internally, is often 1 mentioned. It has been denied that j amber was known to the Greeks in | very early times, the Greek electron having been used as a name both for ! it and for an amalgam of gold ami silver, a species of gold ore washed flown by the Bactolus; but amber has actually been found at Mycenae;' *j ti the fact that the electron necklace mentioned in the Odyssey is ,sahli.l<> lmve been a gift from Phoenicia mcai • much.

In one of the large strife pris¬ ons a long-term prisoner was permit ted to have as pets several dogs of tip toy variety.—New York Times. JOIN THE LOCAL FARM BUREAU It has been agreed by all that to ac¬ complish any good for the farmer all must combine and work together. An industry as trig as farming must not be satisfied with anything bu a strong rep¬ resentation in the affairs of the world. So far. farmers have not been very suc¬ cessful in their attempts to unite and get this strong representation that they deserve. But, now, here comes an or¬ ganization, your county farm bureau, which includes all farmer organizations and workes with all those influences that assist the farmer. The American Fain Bureau is the head organization, and represents all those 1,500,00 farmers who belong to the county farm bureaus. Forty-four states are represented in this national federation, and over a thousand coun¬ ties in these states. Iowa alone has 120,00 farm bureau members and Illi¬ nois has 100,00. Practically every county in these central westrn states has a farm bureau, and the majority of the fariners are members. Georgia has now forty-one counties organized with farm bureaus and the plans are to or¬ ganize a farm bureau in every county in the state. It is evident then that when you join your county farm bureau that you join with the farmers of forty-four states, and, all are interested in those things which concern you and your business. If the farmers of the south could hear the farmers of the north and cerftrnl west tell about what their farm bu¬ reaus have done, then every one would join the county farm bureau cpiickly. The problems in those sections are not so different from the ones in this sec¬ tion. The,farm bureaus have proven the best 'for these many ills. To accomplish what the farm bu¬ reaus have set out to do every farmer must work with his neighbor. Every one must go along together, for if one goes one way and another goes anoth¬ er way the result will be that both will be lost. The county farm bureau is an open organization of all the farmers of Trit.’ c*7untT ivm* • ’ tnim -ontag 0 of the work, and it is for every farmer to see that his neighbor is a member.
