MACON COUNTY 64TH IN READING (Continued from page one) I "The showing in magazine reading I. rather pathetic. In not a single rural county is there an average of out magazine - per , family, fifteen of the most popular magazines being considered. In fifty counties less than a, third of the homes take one of these magazines. No doubt there are many homes which take farm jour nals and theyj are very worthwhile papers but it is safe to venture that most of the farm journals find their way into homes which- take one ot more of these other magazines.

C3LD MiiM . - To Manufacture Ideal Tem perature In White House for President President Hoover will soon be" the most comfortable White House ex ecutive that the country has ever had. Neither the damp chill of Washing ton, winters or the intense heat of Washington, summers shall penetrate the interior of the White House of fice building, now being restored af ter the Christmas Eve fire. Its sim pler than it sounds.. An air con ditioning system, similar to that al ready installed in both Houses of Congress, will manufacture weather of exactly the right temperature andj relative humidity for presidential com fort. Not only for the sake of the Hoover efficiency, but for that of his expanding office force and the visitors who wait to see the presi dent or his secretaries, is this health giving system being adopted. Through the several offices of the execuitve suite will be circulated at all times of the year the atmosphere of balmy spring with relative humidity around if ty per cent, .which is regarded as ideal. It will even be possible to keep the windows closed and shut out all noise without having to wor ry about the ventilation. During the Taft administration, a supposedly brilliant scheme was tried with the view of cooling and de- tiumidifying the stifling summer at mosphere. Air was blown through racks holding big cakes of ice and then passed across trays of chloride of lime which theoretically should have removed excess humidity but actually did not. President Wilson and President Coolidge suffered with out relief during hot days in Wash ington. So did Mr. Hoover last sum mer. It is good to know that we now have an added inducement to every American boy who wants to be president when he grows up." Presidents are more comfortable! f T T V JU. 01.97 This is a Famous Vivani Set and includes Face Powder, $100, Rouge, 75c, Tissue Cream $1.00, Depilatory, $1.00, Facial Astringent. $1.75, Bath Salt, $1.00, Toilet Water, $1.25, Per. fume, $2.75, BriHiantine, 75c, Skin Whitener, 75c.
