The best method of loading

place the first basket snugly in
corner of the far side of car
complete the first row along
side of the car taking care to
that the cover hoops are in
contact. Keep the baskets with
handles at an angle to the side
car, all handles pointing in the
direction. Generally speaking,
ty-two (22) baskets can be

What The Sages Have Said About

This is one of the names which wc
give to that eternal, infinite, and in
com prehensibie beings, the creator of
all things, who preserves and governs
every thing by Ilis almighty
and wisdom, and who is the only ob
ject of our worship.—Cruden.
God is a spirit, infinite, eternal and
unchangable in His being, wisdom,
power, holiness, justice, goodness and
truth.—Catechism.
We know God easily, if we do not
constrain to define Him.—Joubert.
The Mohammedans have ninety
nine names for God, but among them
all they have not “our Father.”
We should give God the same place
in our hearts that He holds in the
uj«verse.
If we have God in all things, while
they are ours, we shall have all
things in God when they are taken
away.
There is something in the nature
of things which the mind of man,
which reason, which human power
cannot effect, and certainly that
which produces this must be better
than man. What can this be but God?
—Cicero.
There is a beauty in the name ap¬
propriated by the Saxon nations to
the Deity, unequalled except by his
most venerated Hebrew appellation.
They called him “God which is lit
erally “The Good.” The same word
thus signifying the Deity and His
most endearing equality.—Turner.

if the baskets have been
stowed.
In loading the baskets do not jam
them in place as this weakens the
baskets, distorts their shape and
causes the peaches to be bruised. All
baskets should be loaded with the
cover hoops in contact with each oth
! This brings into effect the stiff
er.
ness of the cover hoop and the load
will retain its tightness, which is es
, sential.
The baskets should be loaded with
their handle slats at an angle to
sides of car and all handles in each
, row layer should point in same di¬
rcction. Alternate this direction in
1 each layer row loaded and the re¬
suits obtained will be more satisfac
tory.
Attaching Covers on Bushel Baskets
Covers of bushel baskets should be
carefully applied and fastened if the
full strength of the basket is to be
j obtained. It is preferable to use a 19
inch pad under cover instead of the
16 inch pad, as the former provides
protection against rim cutting of the
peaches, both when cover is put on
and in loading and in transit,
The cover should be fastened at
four points. The four handle baskets
accomplishes this very satisfactory
and there are other patented fas
toners that are on the basket when
it is received from the basket fac
tory. The hooks that are applied un
der top hoop of basket and bent over
the cover hoop are generally not of
much value. However, they are bet
ter than no fastener at all and should
be used if baskets are not equipped
■ with some other type of fastener,
Hooks have the disadvantage that
they generally cut a peach when they
are bent over the cover hoop.
j Fastening the cover in place at
j four points prevents the peaches
from dropping out of the basket, and
also makes it easier to load them in
the car.
Peaches should not be packed
higher than one inch above the hoop-;
of the basket. This height of bulge
will give a fuli pack at destination
and permits fastening the cover at
four points and at the same time
makes it possible to stow the baskets
properly in the cars, without having
the upper layers of baskets resting
on the peaches below, thus minimiz
ing bruising and an economic loss of
the peaches.

WOODROW WILSON t/A
1L COLLEGE
THE MAN FROM GEORGIA
The war between the states was
over when Tommy Wilson was nine
j years old and his memories of it
were disconnected pictures like light
- ning lit scenes in the darkness of a
storm.
One day he was swinging on the
gate before the manse, when two men
met near him, “Lincoln has been
elected; it means war!” one of them
said excitedly, and their manner was
so agitated that the little fellow
never forget the incident.
Augusta lay outside of the path of
the arreijs, and though it vibrated
j with the echoes of stirring events, its
own tree-shaded streets remained
quiet. Another picture that the mind
of Tommy Wilson always retained
was that of a hastily assembled
troup of mounted men, riding past
the manse to join the Confederate
i army. One of them called to the
i ! round-eyed little boy perched on the
j gate-post'and he shouted back at
them the line of the day, 'Go get
;
your mule.”
Then at the opening of the ser¬
vice one Sunday morning his father
be sought; He is good, and
He will be found.
I find the day of sorrow we
God’s presence in the cloud, we
find Him also in the pillar of
j brightening and cheering our way
the night comes.
In all His dispensations God is
work for our good.—In prosperity
tries our gratitude; in mediocrity,
contentment; in misfortune, our
mission; in darkness, our faith;
der tempation, our steadfastness
at all times, our obedience and
in Him.
God governs the world, and
have only to do our duty wisely,
leave the issue to him.—John Jay.
When the mind of man looketh

rest go

and Deity.—Bacon.

last and feeblest resource. We go

abruptly announced from the pulpit,
“A carload of ammunition must leave
Augusta at four o’clock this after¬
noon to supply our army in Virginia.
This congregation must help prepare
it. The ladies will please go to the
munition factory after service,” and
he pronounced the benediction. All
day the women from the church roll¬
ed powder and balls together and the
carload left on time.
During 1863 his father served as
chaplain with the Confederate army.
After the battle of Chickamauga in
September of that year, the dignified
church was turned into a hospital for
Confederate soldiers, and the good
women of the parish nursed and car¬
ed for them. At the same time the
pleasant grove around the church
was a detention camp for Union
prisoners. Though Tommy was then
seven years old and was kept close
at home during these troubled days,
he spent hours with his face pressed
between the pickets of the fence
around the churchyard watching the
men. They made friends with him, he
learned to play “mumble-peg” with
to go. And then we learn that the
storms of life have driven us, not
upon the rocks, but unto the desired
haven.—Geo. Macdonnald.

men.—Tillotson.

their pocket knives and he brought
them apples and late peaches.
Two years later he stood with his
mother and sisters at the window of
the manse to watch Jefferson Davis
and Alexander Stephens ride by un
der a Union guard. The war was over.
Ilis father and mother went to
Ohio to visit the relatives from whom
they had been separated in the great
conflict. Tommy was left with his
aunt, Mrs. Bones, at her pleasant
home in the hills beyond Augusta.
With his cousin, Jessie Bones, near
his own age, he prowled in the woods,
played Indian, hunted imaginary
monsters, and rode horseback.
They also loved to visit the United
States Arsenal nearby where Union
soldiers were stationed. Disapproving,
Mrs. Bones explained to the children
that the men who romped with them
and told them stories wore Yankees
-—that they had fought against the
South. Dismayed, the little boy and
girl made elaborate plans for con¬
verting the sinful Yankees into
Presbyterians and so “make them all
right.”
NATION WIDE PROGRAM
NARCOTIC DRUG PERIL
Editor Leader-Tribune:
At the request of Captain Hobson,
President of the International
cotic Education Association, I am
sending under separate cover copy of
a document entitled, The Peril of
Narcotic Drugs,” and am enclosing
copy of a letter sent to all Superin
tendepts of Education and Superin
tendents of Schools, which will give
you some idea of the plan on foot to
instruct the youth through their
teachers and parents.
This is in the nature of an emer
gency, nation-wide program and
be pushed forward to completion
through the end of this year and the
next scholastic year,
Captain Hobson informs me that
the Board of Directors of the Inter
national Narcotic Education Associa
tion, at their spring meeting in Los
Angeles, May 12, 1925, beside ap
proving the carrying to completion of
the Nation-wide teachers and par
en t s Program, adopted a resolution
for a world conference on Narcotic
Education to be held in the summer

OUR OPPORTUNITY TO
DEVELOP SAYS NEIL
“People o f Georgia, especially
those living in the larger cities,
should not look with envious eyes
upon the development of Florida but
should undertake to benefit from
what is one of the big indirect con¬
tributions to the future greatness of
their own state.” This is the advice
of R. E. L. Neil, secretary-manager
of the Albany Chamber of Commerce,
former newspaperman and an ob¬
server with a clear and comprehen¬
sive vision.
In an interview given “The Week *>
the Albany man declares flatly that
the “Florida boom” is one of the
greatest potential assets the state
possesses right now for advancement
along the lines outlined in the inter¬
views published from time to time
in “The Week.”
“We ought to grab the Florida
boom by the hand and call it
‘Friend’,” Mr. Neil said. “We ought
to take it to our bosom and nurture
it as our own because in a measure
it is our own as it is only separated
from us by an imaginary line drawn
across a map. If we han :!e the situa¬
tion rightly we can p t that large
percentage of high cla citizens front
other parts of the ;:on to locate
here which is so i vssary to our
future progress a; development.
Mr. Neil took a , : q> of the United
States. He drew a line from Pensa¬
cola, Fla., to Columbus, Ga., to At¬
lanta, thence to Augusta and to Char¬
leston, S. C.
“That territory lying south of this
line is virtually the southeastern pen¬
insula of the United States. To reach
any part of Florida the traveler must
cross that line if he travels by land,
as do most tourists, traders, develop
ers and prospectors, When that line
is crossed the traveler is in a terri
, tory called Georgia-Florida on the
map but it is to this territory that
the tourists from all the rest of the
] United States are flocking,
Now some of them are going to all
1 in this territory, by this
the towns
j mean that all the towns in this
territory will get some of these visi
tors. Cities like Atlanta, Augusta,
Albany, Columbus, Macon, Savannah,
Rome, Valdosta, Brunswick, Athens,
Bainbridge, Griffin, Americus, Way
cross, Moultrie and others will get
] arge g r0 ups of these tourists, ah
] eas t for a visit. They may go on to
Florida and return. They may go on
to Florida and stay but they come
f rorn a p parts of the rest of the
United States and they will at least
see Georgia and judge Georgia for
themselves, first hand.
“My point is this: Georgia is de~
r j v j n g from the Florida boom at
j east an opportunity to display Geor
gia wares. It is up to the towns and
cities of Georgia to sell these wares,
We ta lk about spending millions of
dollars in advertising Georgia, which
is very wise talk, but even if we
don’t advertise we have a stream of
] customers passing by our stores all
the time. Now there are lots and lots
of Southern states that do not
possess this advantage. Some of:
them have one stream of the current
but Geor gia has them all. Florida
may be the magnet at present but
Georgia is the base of the magnet
through which the force is drawn.
“jt being taken for granted, there-
1 f ore that a large percentage of the
people drawn to Florida will pass
through Georgia towns and cities, we
1 that Georgia will get
can assume
several specific benefits. She will
ge t the opportunity of displaying her¬
wares. That’s the first and one of
1 the biggest benefits. Georgia deals
1 staple goods, standard goods,
j n
I proven goods. Her customers will
' stick by her. The customers who do
no t want Georgia goods are not
1 staple customers. They want Cali
forni ta goods at one time, Northwest
i ern goods at another; Texas goods at
another and Canadian goods at an
other. The staple customers that
Georgia sells will remain in Georgia,
will be satisfied to cast their lot in
Georgia and are really the cream of
the trade . That’s another one of the
big advantages,
; All of us who live in Georgia are
satisfied with our goods and know
that they cannot be excelled any
