Immediately 1 \'as asked to change my topic to “How to become a fashion expert. It was rather a bad break tor any speaker. I didn’t know bow to say no - and yet I did teel that the question of democratic i teals was more important than lash ions. So I compromised. 1 talked first about fashions and then 1 said, "Now if i told you of some new styles, you could have made it the vogue here in your town - because you -et ( the fashions, Tnereton 1 • u> to you - if there- is hatred, prejudice ill will among the youth of this town it is your fault - avaiise you! could make it the fashion to Eye* Examined and Glawes Fitted Office over Shell Furniture Star, Not In Mondays.

I; is because the women of the community, the mothers, have this tremendous power ot leader ship that their responsibility is so. great. Training in friendliness] must begin at home. Training in fair play must begin at home. But all that any woman has to do is to train one family for life - train ,e,e family in understanding. And the first thing to do is to begin at home - with ourselves. Let no child hear you speak unfairly, show hatred or prejudice for any group. Let no child see you act unfairly or with discrimi nation. This does not mean a wholesale opening of the doors of your home. It does mean demon strating that you can respect peo ple and be fair to them, without living with them or making them your personal friends. Don't be patronizing - don’t touch a child to be kind to “poor" people. Teach him to be kind - peri id. Half the class conscious ness of this country would vanish if we would stop being charitable to the poor, truculent and stand offish” to the rich. You must make your children •.•.••roughly aware of the tact that hates and prejudices are things not tolerated by anyone of good breeding, any more than eating peas with a knife, that that sort ,,f thing just isn t done by ladies or gentlemen in America. 11 can't be done?

C. Boyce, farm agent in Franklin County for the State t ollegc Ex tension Service. “Franklin County has a large acreage seeded to small grain with fair stands,” Boyce said. “Small grain crops are somewhat late, and as a result, maximum yields cannot be produced unless abundant fertilizer is available to the plants as early as possible, sufficient available fertilizer will stimulate larger yields of grain, hay and grazing. With the present I shortages of grain, hay and graz ing for feeding purposes, it :s more necessary than normally to increase home production of these valuable feed crops in order to discontinue heavy purchases of grain and hay from outside the State.” , O. F. McCrary, District Farm Agent, has advised that a report made at a meeting of county a gents at Oxford indicated that an application ot top dressing n*:. ici ials February 15 had greater ben efit toward increasing yields than application on March 15; also, March 15 proved a better date of application than April 15.
