The stirring article signed "Citizen" which appeared in last Week's Enter prise discussing the need, the pros - -iso. discussing the need, the prospect ?nd feasibility of a FarmvWe Com nunity Hospital, has brought forth r nu'titude of expressions which indi cate that the sentiment of the com munity, as a whole, is strongly sym natheCe with the movemenri A com mittee of enthusiastic, tactful, gc-get - ters, with D. E. Oglesby as Chairman will meet this week and draw up s line of campaign for raising the -ecessary amount of funds to meet the roost generous offer of the Duke Foun dation. Opportunity stands at our door and is substantially represented in the person of Dr. Rankin, of the Duke Foundation, who met with an earned body of men and women three weeks ago to consider the hospital situation in Farmville. The Duke people mear business, and they are looking for beneficiaries who mean business. If, as a community, we appreciate the rare opportunity which is present, ed to us and take advantage of it, our hospital will become a reality instead of a periodic "epidemic." Otherwise other communities will accept the ben efits which should be our. It can be done. Very soon the above mentioned ? - <? 11 _ committee will make a canvass or tne j town and see if it WILL be done. Farmville has a State-wide reputation for being a little town with Great Big Accomplishments to it's credit. Make -your plans to give as much as you can and then when the committee calls, meet it with a smile, double your con tribution, and all will be well!? Another Citizen.

All of these plant foods can be readily supplied in a com mercial form, and Dr. C. E. Moss, of the Tobacco Test Farm at Oxford, found that the easiest way to supply tnis deficient magnesia was by the use of ground limestone, carrying a high percentage of this necessary plant food. His results showed that for an average of four years he was able to sell his tobacco for $56 an acre more where he had used limestone. Dr. Moas says: "About four years ago the work in Eastern Carolina was put on from this station to see just what could be ex pected from the use of a high percent age of potash an ! ma^f eaitm lime-: stone. To the present writing the re sults have been more than satisfac tory . Ia fact I am reliably informed by some of the best tobacco growers throughout this section that they have obtained a heavier type of tobacco by the use of the extra potash and magne sium, bearing out these statements by their sake sheets from the various warehoused: this fall.

That srapg, long-standing masculine theory, born out of an amused toler ance for the frivolities and foibles of the feminine- sex, that no woman ever has enough worldly goods to make for happinc as and sweet content, has been shattered at last. For Anita Loos, youthful and attractive author of "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds" has attain. aJ that placid state, and frankly ad uiits that she has "enough." Most unashamedly she confesses chat she is going to stop working, ,, uieh is just another way of saying ing "Toflfc without her work."
