GENEVA PEACE MEETINGS
How steadily Geneva is increasing
in importance as the centre of inter.
national activitics is shown by the
large number of conferences to be
held this autumn.
As far back as 1867 the first world
congress of peace was held at Gen.
eva on the suggestion of Victor Hugo
whilst the great French writer was
“under exile by Napoleon 111, Great
figures in the liberal life of Europe
participated at this great congress,
and the people of Geneva ugc)uhfied
enthusiantically the Italian }mtflbl

the welcome that the multifil?; un
hitched the horses from llls:éa{'rlu;:u
and themselves triumphantly fiulu(:(.
ed Garibaldi down the Rue Mont
Blanc to his hotel.
It is regarded as significant by
many people that this year's congress
will conc(ptrnm upon economic prob.-
lems, thus giving the impression that
international peace is more in danger
from economic conflicts than from di.
rect political dissensions. Customs
tariff questions, and the difficultios
arising out of the fluctuations in ex.
change—Dboth figure on the agenda;
‘while in a broad way will be dis.
gussed the question of the sovereign
ty of states, believed by many to pre.
sent a widely different aspect in mod
ern days, when people of various na.
tions are more dependent one upon
another, than they were when Gari.

designer who wishes to plan a «lls_‘}

Most of the cities of the l‘nltod“
States are seeing their “tallest lmlld-j

the result of a construction trend
which has been gaining momentuin
for several years.

for the capture of the reptiles, the
extraction of their venom, and the
distribution of the life saving sorum
are at San Antonio, New Orleaus and
San Diego.
The field workers go ints “snake"
country and lassoo the roptiles witn

stick. They are then shipped to the
contral snake houses of the field sta.
tions., The venora is extracted by
«queezing the gland contents out
through opered mouth., The venom

rvstals are sent on to the Glenolden
station, The snakes live about six
months in captivity and every fort,
night they are forced to yield up

fed, for the venom is a form of saliva
used in digestion,
At Glenolden, a solution is made,
tested and standardized.! Then, very
gradually so that the animals are not
made ill, the solution is injected into
horses, Ater six months of this
treatment the horse is bled and yields
up the serum which is said u? have
the power to save cither human or

finest feeling in Georgia that the
prospect for a mos prosperous fall
and winter season amounts to a prac
tical certainty. There is no funda
mental reason why Georgia should
ever be in the dumps. Surely the
right methods of agriculture for her
farmers to follow are well enough
known now for them to safeguard,
themselves, and everybody else in
Georgia, against times of depression
' This year, if the whole story could
be tol.d:._, there probably was a grea:tf
er measure of scientific fatgfit’ki}fi,
which heing interpreted, means noth
ing but business like farming, than
ever hefere in one year in the state.
The . tahacco crop.from the very-bda
ginning of it last January, was un:
useuiily seientifically handled, and the
result of that geod work is shown
in the millions of dollars which came
into Georgip as cash payments for
the h,,l;;,'wco erop. i
Scmething o fihe same sovt may be
said about cotton, and the outlook
is for a fine cotton crop with good
prices. But ths whole of agriculture
must be considered as a unit ;it is
'thc very top of folly to consider
“only one crop in a state the size of
1 Georgia. Georgia’s prosperity is not
to be due to tobacco alone, nor to
cotton alone, nor to any one of the
hundred other crops and products
that are Georgia’s A few crops bring

not have to take long chances in}
agriculture. It can play the game
safely and nine times out of ten will

It is of epecial interest to read the
result of the observations of a Sa

of Georgia that was made with the
