VALUE OF COUNTY AGENTS
Georgia has long since learned
fhe value of the county agent,
says the Savannah Press.
No progressive county in this
state is without its expert in the
matter of agriculture and stock
raising.
It is a good investment for a
county to employ such a man or
woman either, and we believe that
both sexes are engaged in this
work in Georgia.
The acres produce more bounti
fully, the hens lay more regularly
and the breed of hog# and cattle
improve through following the ad
vice of these trained specialists.
In the east the railroads take a
great deal of interest in the work
of the county agricultural agent.
The New York Central Railroad
has recently paid this band of ex
perts a very high compliment in
telling of some,achievements.
The Michigan Central Railroad
also speaks of the good accom
plished.
An official of that system who
was asked recently why his road
was interested in the county
agent, said: “Because it is of
direct benefit to the Michigan
Central Railroad.
“It is constantly developing new
business in a section where it is
sorely needed.
44 His work affects our business
in two ways:
<4 First, the increased production
gives us an increase in outbound
traffic; second, the application of
efficiency to farm operation brings
about a greater prosperity in the
community which we serve, which
in turn is eventually reflected in
both our outbound and inbound
business. tt
In Georgia and the South the
railroads emphasize the splendid
work done by the county agents
and co-operate with them in every
way possible. *
And it all works to the good of
the farmer.*

THEIR FEET IN THE CLOUDS
Recently young Teddy Roosevelt
defined republicans as individual#
who have their heads in the
clouds, but their feet on the
ground.
That may describe the Republi
cans of the school of Lincoln and
the elder Theodore Roosevelt, Re
publican# who had ideals and the
courage and independence to strive
for them, but does It fit those of
the isolationist school and the
group that would ignore the cor
ruption at Washington?
It is noticeable that an increas
ing number of the Republicans of
the Lincoln and elder Roosevelt
schools are turning to the leader
ship of John W. Davis.
May it not be thpt some of the
Ttepublicans of the young Teddy
school, who think they have their
feet on the ground and their heads
in the clouds, illustrate just the
Their inability to see what is
going on about them, the condi
tions and the tendencies of the
suggests rather that they
vjye
their heads in the
f and their feet in the clouds.
For instance, if young Toddy,
when assistant secretary of the
navy, had had his .head up and
alert, would he have been as ig
norant as ho proved to he o - the
leasing of the r\avy oil reserves
to private soureer?
So far as hie testimony on the
subject of the oil reserves goes he
might as well have had his head in
the ground all the time; he ap
peared to have utterly no grasp
of the significance of what had
been growing on around him.
It is the feet, not the heads, of
some of these boastful Repubif
cans that are in the clouds.
Of course the tramp who put
up without funds at a >Nf v York
hotel and told the management he
was a writer looking for atmos

air.
The Prince of Wales visited the
stockyards while in Chicago. What
Chicago may lack in the way of

make up for in smells to smell.

Apparently undaunted, the call

of hair tohic, a pot of pomade,
a tube face cream and so on.
No, no., no.” said the barber des
perately. “I tell you I don’t want
any of them.”
“I know you don’t,” was the
calm reply.
44 Then why do you ask me to
buy them?” demanded the barber.
44 I didn’t ask you to buy them,
said the other. “I only came in
to get my hair cut, but I wanted
to show you before you started
that I’ve got all the toilet re
quisites I want.

Landing the
Knockout
By ANTHONY REIMERT
No one took much notice of the
new cookee—cook's helper—in camp
In the beginning. He seemed an
Inoffensive young fellow, and the in
stinct of the lumberjacks was to let
him alone.
However, there were one or two
rowdy spirits, chief among these
Wild Harrtgnn. He was the boss
of the cmnp by reason of the strong
pair of fists be wore. Harrigan
had, In fact, frequently announced
his intention of going into the ring.
He had photographs of Chur!ie„Slm
mons and .fini Brand, the famous
boxers, pinned over his bunk.
“Huh, guess r kin take either of
them fellers on ali right!” he would
remark. “Jest as soon as 1 git a
bit put by tt’s me fer Noo York.
Now that Brand feller—why. I
weigh thirty pounds more than him.
Think I couldn’t git where be is?
I’m laj in’ fer him."
No one knew why Harrigan had
taken o dislike lo young Patrick.
It was Just one of those inexplic
able feelings that arise, when men \
are thrown together in a camp.
Then It was accentuated by Miss
Tilly Ite’nes’ evident partiality for
Raines was the constructor. Cer
tainly Miss Tilly would never have^
looked at Harrigan. But If he. the
husky sawyer, was as dirt beneath
Miss Tilly’s feet, why should she
sit on her porch of an evening with
a mere cookee?
Harrigan set out to hqmhie Pat
rick. There was the evening when,
meeting the two strolling to
gether, he Patrick pretended to slip and sent
young sprawling lu the
snow.
“I shore am sorry, Miss Tilly," he !
announced with a grin. “Them
featherweights Is alius glttia’ in
my way.”
Patrick picked himself up and •
quietly brushed the snow from his
clothes. Harrigan walked on jeer
ing. That night It was agreed In
the bunkhouse that the cookee was
up against It. He would have to
fight Harrigan. They told him as
much. “Fight hlui, or give up the
girl.” they said.
Then it evened that young Pat
rick was only Just recovering from
an attack of typhoid fever, which
was the reason why he had come
Into the woods.
“Typhoid, huh !“ Jeered Harrigan.
“Then you keep away from Miss
Tilly till you're well. Yuh hear
me?”
Patrick admitted that he heard.
But a day or two later there were
the two sitting on the stoop again,
and Harrigan coming back from the
groggery with a load.
He uttered a vile expletive,
t ’Oome down, you scum, and I’ll larn
you about typhoid!” he bellowed.
A crowd gathered. Patrick stepped
down from the porch. “Harrigan,
you are a nuisance,” he said in his
mild way. “Did you mean that
about fighting?”
“Did I mean it? Oh, boy, come
on!" yelled Harrigan, dancing with
delight.
Although young Patrick looked
much smaller than Harrigan, It
could be seen, as he threw off his
mackinaw, that they were of much
the same build. And unexpected
muscles appeared on Patrick’s arms
and body. The bully’s face dark
ened In an evil leer as he noted It.
Then, leaping forward, he deliv
ered a blow that would have struck
young Patrick senseless—only Pat
rick wasn’t there.
Next moment, to the astonish
ment of every ope, Patrick hud
come bock with a punch that sent
Harrigan to his knees.
And, as Harrigan rose, bellowing,
he followed It up with unother, and
then, running In. he seemed to sup
port Hurrigun’s weight with one
arm. while with the other he deliv
ered a series of short-arm punches
♦hat sent him reeling bloodily round
and round. And then—the knock
out.
Hnrrlgan wokb ten minutes later
to see a cluster of grinning faces
rouml him. Miss Tilly was nowhere
to be seen, hut young Patrick was
sponging him.
“What the—” began Harrigan.
The grins widened. Say, guess
you don’t know what’s happened to
you yet," said the camp cook. “This
here’s Jim Brand that laid you out.
He came up here to recuperate aft
er an nttack of typhoid."
