NEW SERIES VOL. I NO. 8 COMMUNITY INTEREST V By John G. Brammer The County; Agent held a long conversation ai the home of Mr. Terrell Bird. His little daughter Audrey recited "Little Orphan An nie" and "Suppose."" It rained and kept us away from the Community Meeting Friday, night Audrey could scarcely refrain from going any way. The teachers around" this home circle told me about Mr. Terrell Bird going to give the history of Qualla Graded School and Commun ity. Before I left the Bird settlement, I learned that Miss McGuire. Teach er, had a sermon to expound. Another o the Bird-family had a recitation "The Man With the Hoe." Mrs.! C P. Shelton, the leader. had certainly on short notite, gotten up a well prepared program. Hurrah for Qualla Graded school! The next day and night was ideal. Although iWr. John N. Lambert was very sick, he braced him -elf up and managed to reach Olivet. His speech on "The Price of Farms and Products 30 years ago" made us who are young take careful notice. Why noWvery one who is older than we bring us the facts of such changes? Then, the-schools 'will not dwell so much on the dead past as they used to do. Every com munity can make it ideal in Sun day school, church, day school, farming, and cooperative marketing if it will only use its old and young. Mr. J. C. Rhodes feelingly lectured on "Present Prices of Land and Products." The emphasis he put on Mother and Home deserve all that Mr, Rhodes said about them. May every teacher, woman and man and girl and boy say to him self that all my energies shall be bent toward ideal homes. May every one love home so much that they will induce every one to want a home of his own! Mr. u L. Campbell delved into the future. He emphasized the slavery of the farmer of the past without much schooling, with but little say-so in government, groping blindly to keep up a mere existence by letting the middle-man get the cream. Looking the future squarely in the face he predicted the time near when the farmer would come into his own by pricing his own products and being so well inform ed that the other fellow could not beat him. In speaking of eggs he said that no merchant had any use for them for ilia condition of hand ling was not the best. He said the time is ripe for cooperative ship ments after the Home Demonstrator have carefully had the club girls and boys say they are fresh. The club girls Misses Reagan, Farmer, Hipps and Sherrill, recited most wonderfully. The singing was relief and inspir ation. The 'phone committee fixed Jfor immediate work. Hurrah for the Caney Fork cor respondent who told of his people. Let more tell of the interest and doings of their communities, When you do this the social work of your community will riseforgood on the scale 500 per cent. Mr. Rhinehart says that every man he sees is taking the Journal. Why not send in your subscription to him so that no one will be left out.

He emphasized the social and Intelect- ual sides of life, stressing these, for they were far above mammon. Mr. J. H. Hampton, Couuty Agent m Cherokee gave a wonderful dem onstration on the board of legumes or nitrogen gatherers His calculation $ .30x10x4840x9x144 or $40,000.- 000.00 worth of nitrogen over every acre of ground and how the legumes gather this in themselves made us much interested. Mr. Hampton stressed the value of the soy bean, saying that ton for ton it for its fertilizing characteris tics alone is worth as much as sta ble manure. He named the princi ple varieties. The County Agent has many bul- etins on the soy beans and cow peas. (Jail and et them. Red and sapling clovers wer6 em phasized both as hay crops and as nitrogen and humus to turn under. Crimson clover was given special emphasis as it is a wonder ful nitrogen gatherer and as it is so easily threshed by flailing. Rye for holding nitrogen in the soil and as a cover crop was dwelt on. 16 per cent acid phosphate was made the thing to buy if you have put the nitrogen and humus into the soil. Sell fats and keep the fertilizer. Sell cattle and hogs. Feed them more legumes and keep the refuse on the farm, was emphasized. Miss Sallie Lambert, Mrs. P. H. Ferguson, Messrs. G. T. Cooper (Sec), C. E. Campbell and C, A. Bird were elected Community Fair com mittee for Qualla Township. There was so much unrest about pushing the 'phone work to a rapid completion that the phone commit tee met to push work. Hurrah for Qualla! Misses Mary Feimster and Stroud of Swain went with the ladies to another room. - They reported a most enjoyable time. Let every secretary report the doings of every meeting so that we may all be benefited. Mr. W. W. Rhinhart took many subscriptions at Qualla. 'No one who reads the Journal now will fail to see its merits. After I got to Sylva and went to the Journal office he brought in subscriptions from all sides.

Mills, Cullowhee, N.a WITH THE ARMY OFOCCUPATION Cobienz, Germany July 16, 1919. Dear Editor: Piease allow, me space in your paper for a few lines. I have been in the Medical Corps for over a year now. I served in the u. S. A. three months, in England a short cime and in France and am naw in Germany. Have been here three moatas and I still hear words of good n ttured bantering oh who waa the war-spiels in which I have r jad many a slam to men who hap pened not to be standing, gun in hand, blowing a German's head off when the eleventh hour rang out. and some of these articles were aim- id with stinging fire at the men in the Medical Corps. In defence of these comrades in service I'd like to say just a word or two to the boys who don't seem to know of just a few things that happened that will be of everlasting honor to the men of the Medical Corps. Through the dark days of battle I have known many Medical Corps men who went into the teeth of shell fire on the lines to get wounded and gassed men and bring them back to help and first aid, and thus saved many a life And night and day the boys in the evacuation and base hospitals worked over their pals. During those days :of dreadful darkness, from truck and ambulance and train the itter bearer kept up his line of march. Twelve, sixteen, eighteen hours a day, his neck and shoulders strained and swollen from carrying his wounded comrades to help and comfort ; His work in dressing stations can never be estimated. The lads who bared their arms and told the surgeon to "go to it", giving a portion of their life's blood to a weakened pal, were Medical Corps men who gave their blood as a matter of course. With a fresh supply of warm, healthy blood coming into his cold, weakening veins, the pulse rate of the wouaded boy would start to thread through his body a little stronger and he was saved. The deeds that were witnessd of brother-; ly tenderness when the hospital men cired for helpless ones in pain, will I ever be great lessons of man's hu- manity to man. During the long hours of waiting and especially when the lights were growing dim, the devotion to the sufferer was wonderful to see. The pathetic "Thanks, Bud, for standing by, I won't be long now", and the strong hand would just grip the white one a bit more tight and answer "It's all right, Kid, don't worry would come through jaws of steel, as the watcher saw the grip relax and the brave young soul start out on its long trail "West". Hold your heads high, men of the Medical Corps, your work has "been well done.' You were assigned to duty where your country needed you and now our task is almost over. The best reward and citation any man can have is his conscience telling him all's well. To the boys of the Medical Corps I say may just re ward come to you all who worked beside me during the battle days and since. We all did our part in this greatywar that came overseas. Vaii nan ncAr An ' 1 i vau aoa iuusc who nave re turned for information. 1 will close, hoping to soon return to the old county of Jackson. Love to all, Bascom Bryson Pvt. 1st. Class, Evcauation Hospital No. 27, Cobienz, Germany. DON'T KEEP POISON IN YOUR BLOOD.
