At Otto on Tues-r day night 130 people attended and there were many more who could not get into the school house. The show consists of 3-reels entitled "Home Demonstration Agent" and one. reel entitled, "Forests Green or Forest Gray'". The former shows the var ious activities of, the Home Demon stration Agent in many counties and by contrasts shows the necessity for such an officiakin Macon county. The latter picture shows the importance of forests conservation, camping scenes, the necessity for fire prevention in the forest and the contrasts between a burned and an unburned area. This picture has brought home to our citizens as nothing else could the im portance of care and watchfulness in preventing fires in the forest.

"A great many communit ies" he declares "give sites for new enterprises and depend upon the in crease of population for the return of their mony." Last Tuesday Dr. F. M. Dula gave an interesting talk on the care of the eyes to '. the school children of Franklin. Statistics show that in many cases where children have been con demned by both teacher and parent for being lazy and listless the fault lies in the eyes. The most aytivle brain may be handicapped by poor eyesight.. No child should be accused of worthlessness until, his eyes have been examined. . . - Last week due to lack of nower. it was found necessary .to leave unpub lished several letters from our cor respondents in various townships.
