DATE OF FIRST FROST Garo'eaers May Leara Probable Date at KilUag Temperatures Frost Weather Bureaa Records Trucker sand gardeners plan ning for late crops should be aided in determining their "best bets" on the first frost by refer ing to this historical summary of frost occurrences in various sec tions, recently issued by the United States Weather Bureau: Killing frost has never occured earlier than September 10th south of the extreme southwestern portion of South Dakota, extreme southern Minnesota, central Wis consin, and the interior northern portion of lower Michigan. It has never occured earlier than Octo ber 1 south of the extreme north portions of Oklahoma and Arkan sas, southern Tenessee, and the mountain districts of North Caro lina and Virginia. It has never occured earlier than October 20 to the southward of the extreme northeastern portion of Texas, northern Louisiana, the central portion of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, .South Carolina, and eastern North Carolina. Chaocei iA Frost Bcfort September IS. The chances are even that kill ing frost will not occur before September 15 in most of North Dakota, Montana, and the ex treme northern portion of Min nesota. By the first few days in October killing frost occurs on the average one year in two as far south as the southern portion of Nebraska, southern and east ern Iowa, southern Wisconsin, most of the interior portion of lower Michigan, and throughout the greater part of New England. By October 15 it may be expected in at least half the years as far south as the central portions of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, In diana, throughout eastern Ken tucky .and the mountainous sections of the Virginias. There is one chance in two that killing frost will not occur earlier than November 1 at the latitude of central Oklahoma, central Ar kansas, and the northern portions ol Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and eastern North Carolina. The chances are even that it will occur by November 15 a little south of the central por tions of Texas and Louisiana and well toward the southern portions ol Mississippi. Alabama, and Georgia. This does not mean that kill'ng frost wiil occur in the local ities and on the dales specified every other year, but that in the long run it occurs, as indicated; in half the years. "What!" cried the careful housewife: "you charge me 3 a biifhel tor tnese potatoes r "Yes, ma'ma," answered the polite grocer; that is the very lowest price we can sell them for." "How is it that I can get them from Brown's for $2.90, then?" "I cannot say, madam. Per haps Mr. Brown has take a fancy to you. He is a widower and you are beautiful. Unfortunately. I Yea'm, $3."

Casspaiga Starts November 20 The biggest Red Cross Seal campaign the State has ever had has been planned for this fall. The sum that has been decided on as a reasonable amount for the state to raise from selling Red Cross Christmas seals is $50, 000. Last year the sum of $12,000 was raised but the committee decided to make the goal more than twice as much this year in view of the fact that the war has heavily taxed every resource that can be used for fighting tuber culosis, and for the further reas on that every State is going to be expected to take care of her con sumptive soldiers. The campaign will open about November 20. Already over 400, 000,000 seals have been printed and are now being distributed in every section of the United State and its territories from the Philippine Islands to the Canal zone. The seals thisyear are of a new and particularly attractive design, the center of which, in stead of the familiar Santa Claus face, is a Christmas tree laden with snow. Upon the sale of the Red Cross Seals this year will depend largely the amount of means available for meeting the demands made by the thousands of new cases thathpve been discovered through the selective draft. Medical ex amining boards are every clay finding cases that never were before suspected. "It is only by providing adequate care for every case of the disease developing in the country and by excluding every case from the army that we can avoid the fatal mistake of France and some of her allies, " says Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, ex ecutive secretary of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercnlosis.

Sobm Traffic Law Infraction One of the most amusine inci dents which have enlightened the businesslike atmosphere of Recorder Saunders fine factory in some time was the trial of the colored aggregation brought down from Rosemary by Officer 11.

Shell Company's automobile truck was chartered by the two aristo crats of the "Merry go round" from its colored driver at ten thirty Friday night to take them and their ladyloves in quest of wine and adventure.

It took a pistol shot j induce maV t0 come to the house to ston the excursion, but the ef- fectiveness of that as a stopper is strikingly testified to by the smallest witness, a high "yaller" aged about eleven years. "Some of 'em got out and some of 'em fell out I kaint remember which I done" he stated. Seven of the passengers were rounded up and the car recovered, but the driver has not yet return ed, or even paused so far a.-t is known to date. In the absence of evidence tending to implicate the passengers in the theft of the car. Recorder Saunders dismissed the case, and from all accounts, it will be a long time before another darky in this community charters an automobile truck under similar circumstances. Bradley Taylor, colored, leav ing engine running with car standing on street paid $1.00 and costs. H. S. Knight paid $1.00 and costs for exceeding the automo bile speed limit.
