Kansas Agricultural College today be gins a two-da.v celebration of the semi centennial of its department of home economics. Boise, Idaho, is holding a jubilee in celebration of the completion of the main line of the Union Pacific railroad into that city. All branches of the drug trade are to observe today as "AU-Pharmncy Day." when it is planned to complete a sl,- 000,00(1 fund for a headquarters build ing to house the nation’s pharmaceutical interests.

A Losing Empire. Charlotte Observer. Gen. Walter A. Harris, of Macon, “startler! the Kiwanis Club of Jackson.” by the bold declaration that Georgia is “no longer the jCmpire state of the South.” He maintained that on the one side Flor ida had grown to be an Empire State arid on the other side North Carolina has come into the title. The Augusta Her ald takes issue with the general and quotes a,,speeeh of "a prominent Georgian, at a dinner party in New York.’ ’in evi dence. and its remarks directed to the pessimistic general might seem to indi cate that The Herald regards him as the Bailey of Georgia. It is much pleasant er to hear talk of the consolidadted Georgia cow “whose milk would float a cargo of cheese and butter from Savan nah to New York,” while she grazed on the vegetables at the equator, switching icicles off the North Pole with her tail, meanwhile. Georgia is the same big I State as ever, and it has the same handi cap of politics. If she proposes to hold to her title as an Empire, she must firtft get rid of a surplus of the politics that' scotch. Collections From Gas Tax. Charlotte News. During 1924 North Carolina collected $4,520,000 from th# tax of three cents per gallon on gasoline. Out of 35 states having gasoline tax ranging from one to five cents per gallon, she stood fourth in total collections. The states ranking above hero were California with sll, 093,000, Pennsylvania with $9,089,000 Indiana with $4,925,000.

Doing £rs e t ■ Doable-Duty Cash Register In a country hardware store a small ndio department was opened and a par tition erected to separate this section horn the rest of the store. As the owner lid not feel justified in purchasing a sep arate cash register for the new depart ment, he devised the plain illustrated, which made it possible to use one cash register on both sides of the partition, h square section, a little higher and wider than the cash register, was cut out of the partition and the opening finished with casing. The bottom of the opening was desk-high, and a wooden panel was itted loosely in this opening. A semi iimular shelf was fitted to the panel at he bottom and was supported by two ire® god braces, as indicated, and a peep iolo, about 3 in. in diameter, was cut through the panel just above the top of the register. This allowed a clerk on one ride to see whether or not a clerk on the »ther side was using the register. A hole was drilled in the center of the bottom sasing to hold a socket for a strong pivot holt, which was welded to a metal brack «t, screwed to the panel and shelf as Indicated in the detail. This permitted the panel to be swung around freely. It is a good idea to fit a bolt also in the ■ McmfotMCKEr / *~' S \ gVAHOPIVOT _ C -J upper’casing to give the arrangement panter stability and permit it to be \ymd more ernrily.

Correct Grid Leak in Your Radio Set Is Important One of the smallest parts that enters into the construction of a radio receiver < is the grid leak, and ih connection with it the grid condenser. As usirnl with small details they are given little attention. It will surprise many to know that the volume and clarity of reception depend on the correct value of the grid leak and the grid condenser. The grid current is determined by the number of negative electrons that are attracted to the grid from the filament. The negative charge on the pid sometimes piles up to a point where it practically stops the flow of plate current; the grid leak relieves this situation and frees the imprisoned elec trons, preventing the tube from choking. This requires a grid leak of correct value for the tube used. The grid leaks now'on the market vary in efficiency; some are correct in value according to their rating, others nearly to, and many are found to be inefficient. When selecting the materials for build ing your set, always demand the best; this hpplies especially to grid leaks and grid condensers. Substituting different grid leaks of various resistances in Your receiver will often be the means of im proving volume and olarity of reception. Each type of tube requires a different type of grid leak and grid condenser. The values of these parts are usually supplied by the manufacturer of the tube, and will be foimd in the literature accompanying the tube when purchased. A good variable grid leak is recommend ed by some authorities; another plan is to have several fixed grid leaks varying in value from one to five megohfna and you will be able to select' the best one on trial. The variable grid leak is a valuable instrument—if the aversge user would be content to let it alone once it is adjuated to the best value for the particularftube he is using. Once ( be. leak is properly adjusted it should not be touched unless the tube is changed.'

Washing th« Car Chasm 1 More mod and dirt collect* trader the body on the cheese then anywhere dee on the car. A simple end efflmnat method of removing this is to use e eta- , W— , -J - ' tionary sprinkler of the kind ahown in the drawing, provided water under pres sure is available. It can be installed in any garage having a concrete foor and good drainage, and consists of two lengths of %-in, water pipe, perforated with a number of small holes. The pipM are arranged along the side of the garaga and connected io the water supply. The distance between the pipes should be a little greater than the tread of the car so that tire spray will strike the imde««U of the chassis. Thus the water will reach parts that are nearly inaccessible when using a hose. , y - v • * * Cathedral Saved by Diver •Working Yean in Dark One of the most heroic accomplish- , ments in the annals of engineering has come to light in the account of a diver who, working single-handed and in al most complete darkness, saved Win chester cathedral in England by renewing its foundations. The task consumed most of five and one-half years land was per formed several feet below the surface, in slimy soil and water. The building was foundering because it rested only on an eight-foot layer of wet peat. The diver removed this material in sections, sub stituting concrete which he H ** brought down and laid on a firm stratum of ffavsi; flint and chalk the peat Early Cotton Crop Report Prop rettsive Farmer Mcst of these who dritie’se the official cotton crop reports on ground that they nre inaccurate, do. nrtt .seem to un derstand the difference detween a “fore cast” made during the growing season and an actual “estimate” of tlih crpp af ter it is made. A study of the private reports as well as the government reports, will .show that the forecasts made in July nnd August range higher than they do in October and November. Great changes may take place in the cotton cron-, dur ing August, and September. No one’ who has any conception of n July or August erop report expects it to be accurate ns to the final amount of cotton picked. Reports or forecasts in July and Au gust merely claim to state condition of the erop-when the field reports are gath ered and the probable yeild, provided , certain assumed conditions exist dur ing the remainder of the season. That there will be variations from any assum ed set of conditions is apparent and no one, if he stops to think at all will ex pect the final crop to pick ont in the Call what the actual condition of the crop in July indicates, if these certain assumed conditions do not continue during the remainder of the growing season. Then, Why these July and August reports, if they nre not and cannot be accurate as to the final crop? The best reason why they are neces sary is that the ‘“trade”’ issue numer P FOR THE BOYS jj I We are giving a sack of marbles | and a real baseball with each pair of |ij Keds or oxfords we sell this week.

We think the early reports are other wise of sufficient, value to justify their issuance, even if there were no private reports, but. since we will hnve the pri vate reports nnyway, the official reports bit absolutely necessary to protect the growers and legitimate trade from the more complete control of the market by speculators.
