WHAT'THE” FUTURE TIOLDS FORYQV
depends entirely upon your own degree of
determination. You cannot prevent the
coming of Father Time but you CAN an
ticipate his arrival with a good sized bank
account. To most people the advent of a
visit frorz [at’:or Time brings up thoughts
of troublous and unhappy days to come.
Not so, however, with the owner of a Sav
ings Bank Account. Old age has its ter
rors, but not for the thrifty. Start YOUR
thriftiness at this Bank today.

Coming To The Grand
“BABY MINE.”
“Baby Mine,”’ which comes to
the Grand direct from its eight
weeks enormously sucessful en
gagement at the Majestic Theat
er,_Boston, has proved to be the
\rikingly popular comedy
itten. It startedits car
eer'in New York at Daly’s Thea
ter, in August, 1910; and ran
there steadily for one solid year.
In London, shortly after, anoth
er company began an engage
ment at the Criterton Theatre,
where the play still holds the
boards, and negotiations are be
ing rade for its presentation in
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Peters
burg, South America and Aus
tralia. Yet, Margaret Maye,
who wrote the comedy, has
somewhat glotingly confessed
that various prominent American
managers read ‘‘Baby Mine’’ and
declined to have anything
to do with it. Belasco rejected
Miss Mayo’s gold mine; Henry
B. Harris murmured ‘nay” and
even George M. Cohan failed to
exercise, when asked to stage the
comedy, that Broadway astute
ness for which he has ‘gently
.~ praised himself. William A.
~ Brady accepted it after the first
. reading ard the rest is history.
‘, Mr. Ted Myers has accepted a
. position with the Empire Mercan
- tile Cempany. :

R ush the Pigs To
The 230-Pound Mark
Taking eight weeks old pigs of
good quality and breeding, can
we grow them on peanuts, chu
fas and corn up to 90 pounds
weight and then put them op
corn three-fourth and cottonseec
meal one-fourth and have themx
reach a weight of 125 pounds at
four to five months of age?”’
It will be difficult to bring pigs
up to 125 pounds weight on these
feeds at four months of age.
They might be made to weigh
that much at five months. With
some skim milk the weight might
be made at the younger age in
some cases but not probably to
this average
But why turn off these pigs at
125 pounds weight? They should
make very rapid gains from 100
pounds to 200 pounds and on such
feeds very cheap gains. In fact,
it will be easier. to make a gain
of 100 pounds in three months on
pigs after they have reached a
weight of 100 pounds at four
months of age. The early gains
may be made a little cheaper, but
counting the cost of keeping the
sow it will not be the most prof
itable to sell pigs at a weight of
125 pounds. It will almost cer
tainly pay better to keep them
until they reach a weight of 175
to 225 pounds if cheap feeds are
available in sufficient quantities.

A New Way
To Dig Potatoes
A farmer residing near Muggs
ville, according to a report from
that place, is using a novel method
in harvesting his late potatoes, and
is meeting with success. The farm
er selects a row of potatoes and
spreads carbide over each hill. Then
he sprinkles with water. He car
bides and sprinkles a number of
rows, then goes to the end of the
first row and by means of a torch
attached to a long pole ignites the
gas which has accumulated from
the dampened carbide. Suddenly
there is an explosion and the hill
of potatoes soars high into the air.
Hills follow one another until the
entire carbided rows have been
blown out.
.The farmer is quoted as saying
that when the potatoes reach the
earth from their flight they are free
from dirt, are perfectly dry, are not
marred by the explosion and are
ready for the cellar. |
Some of the Terrell county farm
ers who have raised such huge po
tatoes might save heavy labor by
trying this method.—Dawson News.

f[nsurance Men Must |
| Guarantee Dividends |
| 505 |
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 28.—An im
portant ruling just made by the’
state insurance department knocks
,out in this state an immemorial!
custom of life insurance companies, |
or, rather, their agents, in soliciting |
business. |
It has long been the practice for
solicitors to offer as inducements to
prospective customers estimates of
future dividends of their respective
companies. Under the ruling just
promulgated this practice is stopped
completely, unless such future divi
dends are guaranteed by the com
pany. }
For instance, if a solicitor writes
one a policy in a company repre-l
sented by him, offering as an in-|
ducement estimates of future divi- |
dends on such policy, ranging, say,
from 10 per cent. for the fi:st year
to 15 for the second, and so on. the |
the inducement is strong to take up,
the proposition. There has been no
guarantee back of such estimates,
and not infrequently the dividends
fell far below the estimates. It will
be illegal to solicit business on any
such basis in the future, unless the,
company’s absolute guarantee ac-"‘
companies the proposition.
So far as known, Georgia is the
third state in the union to take this|
"position, New York and South Caro- |
'lina being the others. It is believed
that many states will adopt the rul
ing, for it is of the utmost impor
tance to the individual seeking thel
'best ' insurance possible for hig;
!money. ; l
! Georgia’'s new insurance law is
{attracting widespread interest, and
‘requests for copies of itfare coming
‘in from every section of the country,
'some as far away as the Pacific
'coast. Six states, including Okla
homa, Tennessee and West Virginia, |
have already recommended the
adoption of the salient features of
‘the Georgia law.
