HOME BEAUTf
HAS CASH VALUE
. “The lack of flowers, grass, roses
and shrubbery around most farm
bouses in the South is the most <ie~
pressing fact of our farm life. We
need to ‘brighten up’ things around our
farm homes," said H. G. Hastings, of
Atlanta, recognized agricultural au
hority and president of the Georgia
Association, an organization working
for the better development of farm
conditions and the bringing in of
desirable settlers from other states.
"One of the greatest obstacles we
'ave in our work of getting new set
; lers located in Georgia Is the lack
of any attempt to beautify the 1
home surroundings by our own peo- j
,)!e. Weather-beaten, unpainted houses, i
front and side yards bare of shade flow- j i
ors, grass, shrubbery, roses and
trees give a black eye to the fartn or t
community.
"Not only rural Georgia hut the en j
‘ire rural South needs the biggest
kind of a ‘Clean I'p, Plant Up, Paint j
Up' campaign. Go down almost any
country road in V< orgia or other sister !
states and hardly one house in ten
hows any attempt towards beautify¬
ing the home surroundings.
"This is not. right. This is not fair to
wife, mother or daughter. This is not
air to the boys growing up. Bare, un¬
attractive home surroundings just nat ¬
urally encourage the women folks to
vain to pick up and move to town. The
boys have no pride in a home with un¬
sightly, unattractive surroundings.
"Further, attractive home surround
tags add real cash value to the p'ace. j
Without attractive home surroundings,
almost any farm is tin alable at any¬
where near its value. Well planted- up,,
attractive places often sell far beyond I
their real value. Once made attractive,!
’.lie owner is usual:'- so proud of it that
desire to sell ceases.
“Making homes and hoifie surround
;ngs attractive in either country or ;
town is not expensive. Not necessary <
to do it all at once. Make a start with i
beds of easily-grown flowers, add a!
few roses, flowering shrubs and vines 1
each y*;u : put in a grass plot or small j
lawn, and almost before one knows it;
you will have home surroundings so:
beautiful ;id attractive that it is the j
mlk of the whole neighborhood.
“Clean up, plant up, and, if you can
afiord it. paint up in 1829."
Why the Flag?
A speakei was addressing a country j
school making in tail; southern Indiana ami vru, j [
a on patriotism Pointing be!
to a large ting hung ou Uie wall,
asked:
“And why is that flag hung iu y«»ui
school room?"
There was a loud whisper from one
or "Shall tlie pupiis 1 tell addressed trim to the teacher: j !
we put it there to
cover up the place where the piaster’s
off?”
Proof That Forests
Have Hygienic Value
'Ve hoar Biuch of the importance of
j the conservation of forests from an
i economic standpoint, but little is said
\ of the hygienic value of forests.
j Fores is contribute to the general
j in abh by breaking rhe force of stead¬
ily blowing winds. They mitigate’ the
hear of summer by the vast amount
of evaporation from their leaves that
occurs hy day. They also promote
rainfalls Thus they check the ten
demy of rhe earth to desiccate, which
is almost as injurious to health as if
is fo vegetation.
Cholera often passes a wooded dis¬
trict and revels in a treeless one. A
certain road in India leads for Go
miles through a dense forest. Far¬
ther on it runs for 90 miles, through a
barren plain. Hundreds of persons
travel the entire road daily. Now, In
the first or wooded section cases ot
cholera seldom occur, wtiile within
the lattei it lias been of frequent oc
eurrenee. One year cholera raged in
Allahabad. Soldiers whose hayracks
were on a hill suffered (lie most from
Hie epidemic; those in barracks sur¬
rounded by four rows of trees much
h-.-s; hut not a single ease was re¬
ported arming the soldiers whose bar¬
rack.- were in a thicket. It was the
same the next year.
Various Ideas as to
Spots on Moon's Face
There exist in various parts of the
world curious ideas regarding the
dark spots in the moon’s disk. In the
eastern port of Asia the spots are
believed to be a rabbit or a hare.
The Chinese, in particular, regard
them as a hare Sitting up and pound--'
ing rice in a mortar. Siamese take
the same view. Others see tn the
moon a man and woman working in
a field.
Curiously, tlie North American In¬
dians have almost the same super¬
stition as tlie Chinese. On old monu¬
ments In Central America tlie moon
appears as a jug or vessel, out of
which an animal like a rabbit is jump¬
ing. South American Indians, on the
other hand, believe that a girl, tvho
had fallen In love with tiie moon,
sprang toward it. was caught and
kept by it, and that it ts her figure
which is seen on the moon’s face.
Samoa islanders regard tlie spots as
representing a woman carrying a
child. Other Southern peoples have
similar beliefs, the woman and child
sometimes being altered into an old
woman bearing a burden ou her
back.
Arthur’t “Round Table”
The table which is now called “The
Round Table of King Arthur” is to
to be seen n (lie Great hall at Win¬
chester. Knglhnd. part of the old cas¬
tle there. At the west end of this
hall, above tlie remains of the rw,vnl
dais, hangs this table, T7 feet in diant
eter. it is known to have existed in,
the Thirteenth century and is possi¬
bly older, and was repainted in tlie
reign of Henry VIII. Of course there
is no way of tracing any connection
of King Arthur and his kniglds with
this table. This table Is divided off
into places for the king and 24 of his
kidglus. According to.one version of
the King Arthur iegtmds. tiiere were
13 seats around the table, while ho
cording to another there were 3(1
seats, and tlie total number of knights
of King Arthur was 140.
Why?
Four--j oar-old Richard and his sis¬
ter were both very fond of .Tames
Whitcomb Riley's poems for children
and could say the ‘‘Raggedy Man” and
•T.i le Orphan! Annie,” and “Way
Out. to Old Aunt Mary’s,” word for
word.
One day Richard was looking
through the book of poems again. He
-eemed quite thoughtful for a mo¬
ment, then he said:
“Daddy, if this Mr. Riley liked little
boys and girls so well, why do people
call him Tames Wbipthein Riley?”
The Reason
A clergyman was congratulating
himself on a convert from a rival
place ol worship.
‘'Why.'' he asked the good lady,
"have you decided to forsake your
: Lapel for my church? Is it that you
i. I my sermons of greater comfort
to yon?”
‘•No, 1 ’ was the reply. “It's not ex
to :l.v that. The fact is they have
cindered tlie pathway up to the chapel
ami 1 find it that uncomfortable for
the feet that 1 had ft, change,"—
Weekly Scotsman.

Virginia Anne, <e e three years, was
Mist getting a good start in tlie pri¬

wishing to give especial attention to
he babies of the class, asked:
“Virginia Anne, do you know any¬
thing about t!;e shepherds?”
“Surl.” replied Virginia Anne, con¬
fidently, “I know all about 'em. They
live right next door to us.”
Business Progress
Jhe heir to tlie business had saun¬
tered in from his two and a half hours
among tiie ash trays, had looked over
bis mail, and at 3:30 had gone for the
day.
“Do you remember,” asked the sil¬
ver-haired bookkeeper of the cashier,

ing baseball game?”
