FIELD CROPS THAT CAN YET BE
PLANTED.
Corn.
Not only tho Moxican .Tune corn, but
any of tho prolific varieties, have still
time to make hard corn. Every year
after crimson elovor, I make good corn
planted in Juno and .enrly July.
Choose good land and work it fast, and
you will And it a paying crop.
Sweet Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes planted the first half
of June, stand as good a chance to make
a crop as any; and frequently they give
good result* planted on Into July. If
you hnvon’t planted Home sweet potatoes
nbovo your homo requirements you should
vet do so. They linvo a greater promise
of profit than cotton j but you should
make arrnngoments for storago, ns this
will buvo you from having to put them
•on a glutted market at digging time.
’Sweet potatoes man bo fed nt home if
itho market is not attractive.
Spanish Peanuts.
Spanish peanuts planted this month
hnvo plenty of time to make. If tho
mnrkot is not good they onn bo fod on
tho farm to any of your livestock,
Peas.
Pens can yet bo planted for seed or
hay. In addition to their money value,
they nro improving your soil nnd any
man who does not plnnt a good acreage
of pons is neglecting his opportunities.
It will bo a wlso thing to sow or plant
peas where you Intend to have wheat
noxt fall.
Soy Beans.
Early varieties of soy beans like tho
Mammoth Yellow can be planted up
to July. They will mnko a larger and
more dependable crop of grain tlmn will
pons, and can be bettor handled with
machinery. They should hnvo fairly
good land, however, for best results.
They uIho mnke a good liny that 'ih enslly
cured nnd much relished by all qorts
of livestock.
Sorghum.
Sorghum can still be planted for hay
or syrup. It is one of our old standbys,
and every farm should hnvo a consider
able acreage. In combination with pons
or velvet bonus it makes largo yields of
excellent hay.
Sudan Grass.
In figuring your hay crops do not
forget to plunt some Hiidan grass. Tho
seed arc cheap this year, nnd it will
make a good yield of high-class hay.
It will mnko in s|iito of dry woathor.
Millet.
Gorman millet has a very useful plaeo
•ns a hay crop that can bo grown in a
short time, and will mnke good yields
of excollent hay if cut at tho right
time. It hus to lie cut early, though,
to be good.
Parting Advice.
If you have a largo cotton acroago,
or if your cotton stand is bad, or if you
nro not willing to mnko a hard fight with
tho boll weevil for your, cotton; you
would hotter substitute some of tlioso
crops for nt least part of it. It is not
'•too. late to grow any of them'.

*■ Hurray Street School.
The nutrition class of Murray street
•■school had an important place in the
(’losing exercises Tuesday night. A
-,-uuiObor of songs woro given by the
•grader. The Mowing readings were
given:
“The Cooky Jnr”—Jackson Ward.
“Work and Play"—Clarence MeCol-
lough.
"Brushing His Tcetli'Charlos
Johnson.
Some drills were given by all grades.
Miss Traber, public health uurse, gave
a talk.on “Tho Importance of becoming
norniul while young.” The nutrition
class sang tliulr song.
Pickling Cucumbers.
Preparation—It is not necessary to
wash the encumbers before puting them
intb brine..’ since the bacteria on Die out
side of the vegetable will aid In the pro
cess and, too, brined pickles arc always
washed .before being enton.
Brining—Use fioft water, as water
containing iron or limo will discolor tho
cucumbers. Put cucumbers into tho
brine very soon after they arc gathered.
The snlt draws out tho water from tho
vegetable tissues and Bomewhat toughens
them. For this reason tho weaker brine
will give a bettor texture to the finished
product. About ono pound .(two cups)
of snlt to the gallon of water. The cu
cumbers should be weighted down so this
solution will completely cover them. A
thin cloth should ho placed over the top
to exclude dust and ut tho same time
admit air.
To Make Good Vinegar.
Use sound, ripo upples, piekeil or
plokod up before they hnvo bocomc dirty,
otherwise they should bo washed. Ob
serve tho ordinary precautions to secure
cloanllncss in grinding and pressing. If
possible, lot tho juice stand in some large
receptacle for a fow days to sottlo, then
draw off tho clear portion into well clean
ed barrels, filling thorn only two-thirds to
three-fourths full. Stop with a loose
ploco of cotton to admit tho air but ex
clude dirt. If these barrels are kept in a
place with a temperature of Bixty-flvo
to Bcvonty dogroeK and eomprcrtiod
yonst added at the rato of ono oako to
five gnllons of julco, vinegar may bo
inndo la throo months or less. Use a
little wator to thoroughly disintegrate
the yonst before adding it to tho juice.
WHAT IS EFFICIENCY?
Farm Lifo.
It is doing things—not wishing you
could do them, dreaming about them, or
wondering if you can do them.
It is the power to learn how to do
things by doing them, ns learning tu
walk by walking or learning to sell goods
by selling them.
' It is the Knowledge of how to upply
theory to practice.
It is the trick of turning defeat into
experience und using it to achieve sue-
coss.
It is tho ability to iimss one’s per
sonality nt any given time or place; it
iH skill in quick raOIiolizatjon of one’-
resources.
It is making everything that is past
minister to the future.
It is tlie elimination of the three mi
crobcB of weakness—regret, worry and
fonr,
It is self-reliance clothed with mod
esty. ,
It iH persistence plus politeness.
It is the hand of steal in the velvet
glove.
It is alertness, presence of mind, rend
inoss to adjust oneself to the unexpected.
It is sacrificing personal feeling to the
will to win.
It is impinging the ego against the
combination of events—luck, fate, cus
tom, prejudice and patience.
It is the measure of a man, the real
size of a soul,
It is the ability to use one’s passions,
likes, dislikes, habits, experience, educa
tion, mind, body and heart—and not to
be upset by these things.
It is self-mastery, concentration of
vision nnd common sense.
It is tlie sum total of ail that’s in a
your home town. Don't wait until tho
paper lias come out to .tell him the nows.

PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER.
Wo have shown in a general way tho
causes of typhoid fovor, and tho terrible
danger to lifo and health that tho disease
is; naturally, wo want to know how we
can prevent tho Bpreacl of this disease.
Liko all coitimuuicablo diseases, tho
first step toward provontion is avoiding
contact with such agencies ns contain tho
gorm—ospocinlly those agoueios whore
germs onsily multiply, for if there is (lun
ger in a few goruiB of typiioid thoro is
added danger in ninny germs.
Milk is one of tho moBt important me
diums to be considered when wo are try
ing to protoct ourselves from typiioid
germs, because it lius boon said that 20
per oont. of nil enses of typhoid come
from Bomo onuso related to milk.
If a dairyman should hnvo a enso of
typiioid fovor in his fninily, or should
bavo n typhoid “cnriibr” in his family,
or ovon in tho family of ono of tho per
sons omployod by. him, tho milk supply
might,- easily bo poisoned through indi
rect eontnot with tho gorm. If a number
of cusos of typiioid should occur on tho
routo of u single dairyman it is time to
investigate everything connected with
that dairy, Thou, too, filos sook milk.
PIIob often carry tho germ of typiioid di
rectly from a poraou sick with tho dis
ease to tho food or milk supply of well
poisons, with tho result Hint they becomo
lnfeetod with typiioid.
Wator, wo know, may become typiioid
poisoned boenuse of contact with' insan
itary toilets, through underground seep
age, nnd any woll that becomes muddy
filter u, rniu sIiowh tluit it is vocoiviug
surfuco wntor nnd is dangerous. Any
well, to bo snfe, should bo nt least 266
reet from tho toilot, and should bo on
highor ground. Wells or cisterns, either
ovor or underground, should have wooden
tops made of tongued nnd grooved lum
ber of two layors of boards running in
opposite directions. Pumps nro better
than chains nnd buckots, boenuse there is
loss outside contact, and thus less possi
bility of infeotlon.
Locking sewer pipes which carry ty
phoid germs from Infected persons to
tho water supply will pollute tho ontiro
supply, mid It is must.important to treat
everything used by u lyphond patient as
possibly carrying the gorm. Thus the
best way to protect water from these
germs is to bo sure none nro allowed to
escape 'the sick room. But thoro nro
many apparently well porsons who carry
these germs with them, sad who thus
unconsciously infect food, water and
milk, and for that reason nil uncooked
vegetables should be thoroughly washed
before being used. All water supplies
should lie examined nt least once a year,
and, oftoner than this, if typhoid breaks
out in a community; while milk should
bo particularly protected from contact
with any hands, vessels that have not
boon sterilized by boiling, nnd that lie-
cause germs do multiply rapidly in milk,
it is a source of danger always uulcss
perfectly clean.
Fresh air, sunshine, hot water and
good soap are tlie best possible disinfect
ants, and when these are freely used in
a room where there is or has been n ease
of typhoid fever, when rooking vessels
are treated with daily applications of the
same simple household methods, \nd
where cleanliness is the watchword nt
all times, we nmy feel that some precau
tions have been taken against typlmi.1
which will do much to control the disiaie,

They were discussing the very chsrm-
ing woman who hud just entered the
already-crowded reception room.
“How well Mrs. Ga.ve looks tonight!
She is really a most beautiful woman
and knows how to keep herself nt her
best,” said Mrs. Witte.
“Mrs. Gayef She isn’t Mrs. Ga.ve
now, ’ • answered tho friend. < ‘ Don’t you
remember she got tired of being GaveV
widow and married Jayo last summer?
She is now Mrs. Jayo."
“Oh, dear, yes!" Mrs. Witte replied.
I forgot. But I would like to know
how anyone can hope to keep in mind
nil tho matrimonial changes nowadays.
Someone ought to publish a reference
book to help us. It might Im> called
’Whoso Whose?’ ”

Hardly a wcok passes but what wc
bump into, some McRae citizen who asks:
Why didn't you have something in the
paper about So-and-So; I thought every
body know about it.” And that’s where
thoy make a mistake. The thing you
hour may be a long time getting to tho
editor. You may think it is common
talk, when in fact not more than a half
dozen know anything about it. So don’t
think the editor is a mind-reader, or
that ho lias a way of finding out news
without people tolling him. March right
lip or call and tell him that which you
have hoard, and which you believe would
iutoroBt others when they see it in the
paper. It takes but a fow seconds, and
it will help wonderfully to make the very
kind of n paper you want printed in

de a cigarette
The Camel idea wasn’t born then. It was the
exclusive expert Camel blend that revolutionized
cigarette smoking.
That Camel blend of choice Turkish and Domestic
tobaccos hits just the right spot. It gives Camels such
mellow mildness and fragrance!
The first time I smoked Camels I knew they were
made for me. I knew they were the smoothest, finest
cigarette in the world, at any price.
Nobody can tell me anything different.

DANGER-TAKE CARE!
Heat and road wear play havoc with tires
in the summer. .If you want service from
your tires you must give them special atten
tion pow.
Small bruises and cuts develop rapidly
into dangerous places, liable to cause a blow
out any moment. Look after the inflation of
your tires; see that you do not handle them
with unnecessary roughness, and when any
weakness develops have them repaired at
once.
Vulcanizing will save you many dollars
if it is done right and at the proper time.
That time is just as soon as you can get your
tire to our shop. Don’t delay—it means mon
ey to you. We will guarantee that your tubes
and casings will stand up where we repair
them.
Expert workmanship, best materials, good
equipment—these three things make our vul
canizing department satisfactory to the car-
owner. Use it.
