Madison took her place with the
advanced counties in that, she had
a Count v demonstrator and .a de-
monstration agent for the women
and children. ' Fortow years now
there has not been any one employ
ed by the county and the farmers
look where they can for ; advice.
The fortner Demonstrator came in
from his own farm in Henderson
County and advised one or two
about their orchards. But there is
no one in the county that can do
this, Have we gotten to the point
where wi do not need . these or

was done, -by them .in this county,

Read something in ' 'The Silent Partner" the other day that,
to my mind, was decidedly worth while, so am passing it on, and
here it is'The best men are sportsmen not sports. They fight,

Many mysteries in this old world of ours great and small.
The greatest one of them all, however, is that which we will

Children's Day was being observed in a certain .Sunday
School, arid a class of boys had been asked to earn a quarter,
bring it to the school, and when called upon they were each to
walk up to the money box, drop in the money, then turn to the
congregation and say 'any JBible verse they wanted to. The first,

The next little fellow, taking his turn, went up,, dropped in
his coin and said -"The Lord loveth a cheerful giver." '
On and on it went until it came little Frankie's turn. - In
stead, of a smile, a frown was upon his face, and after dropping
in his quarter, he turned and said, in a very disgusted way "A
fool and his money soon parts."
Did you ever read this ? A man took his wife to that point
on Lookout Mountain where four states mny be seen at one time :
She stood by his side gazing in rapture at the enchanted
scene. He said to her - Now what have you cot to say 7"
"I am speechless,'-' she said. '
He replied-''Thank Goodness, we stay here for three weeks."
To my notion,, friends, that old saying is : a true one "A
ittle nonsense, now and then, is good for the . wisest and best of
men." , i know it is for me, and I believe it is for others. That
is. why I Mlknd it out once in a while. Do you blame me ? Some

Camping Ground.
Sunday night a party from
Texas camped out along the
road between Marshall and
Mars Hill. They asked for a
camp ground and finding none
went on until they found a
spring and there stayed. The
News-Record has been speak
ing for some time about a camp
ing ground on the Island but no
move has been made as yet.
The season of auto parties is
soon to be with us and it be
hooves the ones in authority to
get busy and have a place
where people can go. ;.The town
board is in office until the 1st of
July and they are the ones to
see to it that something is done.
If they do not move then the
private citizens should do this
work. Water, light and out
houses should be put there and
then we will be able to be hos
pitable and at the same time
reap the nrofit that will accruo
to the business stores in" in-
creased sales. . v

among other good things, deliv
ered himself on the prohibition
question in a tone as refreshing
as it is different from most
speeches on such occasions and
puts iron in the blood of those
who respect law and want others
to do the same. He said in part:
"I regard the present flagrant
failure to enforce the Volstead'
law as a blot on the good name
of Pennsylvania and the United
States. If allowed to continue,,
it will amount to a serious
charge against the fitness of our
people for genuine self-government
I share in the belief that
no determined, concerted effort
to enforce the law, has yet been
made, and I propose, not only to
hpress.wjth all my power for the
abolition of the saloon, but also
to make sure that the govern
ment of this state takes its full
and effective part in such an
effort. ' ' . ,
"Pennsylvania ..mas t either
control the criminals who are
openly breaking the law, or ba
controlled by them. With all
good citizens I believe that thisr
commonwealth is greateu and
more powerful than any band of
law-breakers whatsoever, and I
intend to acton that belief , . .
I shall expect and, demand from
every public servant appointed
by me, from the highest to the
lowest, entire and ungrudging
obedience to t h e , Eighteenth
Amendment, and the Volstead
law. They are part of the law
of the land." : .
