A sinfill boy in the visitors’ gallery was watching the proceedings in the Sennte Clminhcr. “Father, who is that gentleman!” lie asked, pointing to the chaplain. “That, my son, is the chaplain,” re plied the, father. “Does tie pray for the Senators?” asked the boy. The father thought, a minute and then said! “No, my son; when he goes in he looks around and sees the Senators sit ting there, and then he prnyB for the country.” QUEER CUSTOMS OF AFGHANS .ENLARGING THE SMALL TOWN.. Within the next twenty years it seems certain tllfit two movements will tnko place thnt will enlarge the small town. One of these will be the migration of business and professional men ami.their families to towns of 6,000 to 'JO,000 located within a llfty-mllo radius of cities in which they work during the day. The other will be the decentralization of Industry, and the movement of both factories and working forces from the city to the small town. With improved living conditions, fac tories will favor sinnll town sites, fig uring thnt they will thus reduce their labor lurnovor, nnd save enough in over head, taxes, nnd interest on expensive city sites to more thnn compensate them for the disadvantages of doing business in a small town. If this adjustment dons take place it will solve many of our most perplexing problems, for there is no question that our cities are getting too big. A city, like a business, can got so large that the law of diminishing returns begins to operate. It is an established principle that when a business grows beyond n certain point the return on the capital invested decreases. The snmo principle npplies to cities. Big cities have Such problems ns trans portation, housing, henltli, fire and po lice protection, from which the small town is lnrgcly free. The factors which nre doing much to hasten this decentralization are the au tomobile, moving picture, and the talk ing machine, all of recent invention. The automobile has shortened the dis tance between the small town nnd the big city by 76 per cent. Tho motion picture hns given the small town tho cheapest nnd most pop ular form of entertainment ever devised, while the talking machine lias enabled the people to hear the. world's best mu- sip right in their own homes.

Power, late of Coweta county, Oa., deceased, are hereby notified to render In their demands to the undersigned according to law; and all persons In debted to said estate are required to make Immediate payment to me. This July 1, 1921. MRS. MILTON KEITH POWER, ■ Administrator. Little Willie, who for Some months had always ended his evening prayer with “I’leaso Bend me a baby brother,” an-, nouneed to his motliar that lie was tired of praying for what ho did ndt get nnd thnt he did not believe God had any more little boys to send. Not long after wards ho was carried into his mother’s room very early in the morning to seo his twin brothers, who lind arrived dur ing the night. Willie looked nt the two babies critically and then remarked: “It’s a good thing I stopped praying when I did.” People Eat Only With the Right Hand —Animal Life of Every Descrip tion Held Sacred. The average Afghnn 1ms no particu lar fondness for wine or spirits. Tobacco raised In the land Is of In ferior quality; the better sorts are imported from Persia, Kussla, India aud Egypt. Amir llabbibutlah Khan always had n good private stock of Havann cigars. Both young uud old people take snuff. Ten, sweetened and unsweetened, IS the favorite drink nnd Ir consumed In prodigious quantities. When you go to see an Afghnn, you can hardly es cape before swallowing four or five cups of ten; It Is, therefore, no trlillDg gastronomic feat to pny several visits In one afternoon, the more so If he polite host (with a vlow of honoring the European guests) hns the tea served In big Russian glasses. The right hand Is nlwnys used In eating nnd drinking, (ho left bnnd be ing considered unclean. Dogs, though numerous nnd useful, arc looked upon ns undonn, nnd pious people never touch them. Animals thnt go badly lame on the march or camels that get snowbound In the mountain passes nre abandoned to their fnto. Afghans never kill such animals, ns "we might do, to pat them out of their misery. They believe thnt the lives of nil living things nre In tho hands of Allah, nnd that man sins If he presumes to Interfere with the Su premo Will. Afghans will not even kill Hens or other vermin; they merely pick .them oft nnd throw them away!— Frederick Slmplelr nnd "Hn.|l Mlrza Hnrseln" In tho National Geographic Magazine.

IiVltans dourly love a rough Joke, and a great shout of laughter went up, although the chief was anything but pleased, and called his daughter sharp ly to him. "This Is not maiden's play,” he said. “Will you nover cease to be a po-cn-hun-tus?" The children caught up the name, and It clung to the little girl ever afterward. The English changed the spelling a bit, but the name hns come down In history utmost as It wus given away back In 1007.
