After the Chicago deaconess work was fully organised. It received the authori sation of the general conference of the Northern Methodist Church, and deacon ana homes were established in a number of cities throughout its territory. When the deaconess work was estab lished in Germany, by the Lutheran church. It was decided that these women should wear a uniform and also receive no salaries. It is the consensus of opinion every where that the work’would prove a failure if salaries were paid, but these women must be supported, fed. housed and clothed. It is estimated that their support de mands about $8 per month, a trifle, com pared to what any of them could earn, if they went out to everyday work and service as wage earners. This church serv ice is strictly voluntary, and the deacon ess homes are the property of the au thorities of the church. I attended one of their annual meetings in Chicago, where a general conference of this work had assembled, and listened to what a number of these deaconess women told of their work and I found it was simply an organized part of gen eral home mission work. They go Into poor, miserable homes, and nurse the sick, and comfort the miserable Inmates, by advice, prayers and counsel and put them In away to get needful sustenance. They were asked if they were not abused and ill-tratod sometimes, and the answer* they gave convinced me that their self-denial and self-sacrifice enjoyed the protecting care of Him who never slumbers or sleeps. Their uniform gave them protection and the police assisted them in hard places.

The Oook-Peary Row It is unfortunate that the scientific world must be afflicted with a furious, rabid and continuous quarrel between our two enterprising arctic explorers. They go at each other like hammer and tongs, and the more we hear of the quarrel the less we are reconciled to the disturbance that prevails between the two explorers. It has passed the disagreeable stage and it won t take long to become disgusting I have an antipathy to ice and cold wintry weather, and I never was cut out for any experience where cold was the chief feature, so they are all welcome to whatever of fame or reputation or gold that the north pole will afford them, so far as I am concerned. I conclude I am a disinterested critic, and I am quite sure it is an ugly contention for Mr. Peary to claim that he knows that Cook did not reach the tip end of the earth’s great ax’s without his knowledge or consent. I guess there was not much desire for lingering with either Cook or Peary. They arrived there under difficulties and they left without' reluctance, and it would be the limit of assumacy to say that Cook was not qualified to do as much as Peary claims for himself. I am too tired of the controversy to read the published reports, and I really have more sympathy for Cook than Peary be cause he has better command of his temper. I notice there was a fight down in mid dle Georgia between two angry men, one championing Cook and the other Peary. I shall not follow their example, and I would not be surprised if both explorers will be sorry some day that they have behaved unseemly. Sow Wheat. Farmers The day for’cheap foodstuffs has passed. Provisions go up In price every week and month. The people will eat—they must eat—and somebody must feed the multitude. The reasons are not certain, but varia ble. We may have a bumper crop once in awhile, but we are not going to see a glut of the staple necessaries of life. We get our flour mostly from the north and northwest, but there can come to that section a disastrous season. Some years ago Kansas was overrun by grasshoppers, until farmers were forc ed to emigrate to live. Georgia has been spared times without number, but the wise man always looks ahead. Your old friend, Mrs. Felton, now coun sels wheat sowing—enough to make your next year’s bread supply, if you do no more. Manure the land as well as you can plow It deep—sow it carefully with celar, well-soaked wheat and leave the rest to the Almighty. He has said, ’’Seed time and harvest shall not fall.” If you strike a drouth next year and com fails and cotton la scarce, wheat bread will be a comfort to the best of us. Don't forget to sow -a few bushels for safety’? sake. Old Georgia Is Good Enough A neighbor’s boy went to Texas a few years ago to get rich by farming. He and his industrious wife were alike eager and energetic. They have three children and had high hopes of success and profit, but the pre vailing drouth In Texas grew so porten tous that they sold out—lock, stock and barrel, and rushed back to old Georgia— because of the dread of farfilne. I am satisfied it was a wise determina tion for they got away with enough to pay expenses and reach the old home, and they knew they were coming to friends. But there are perhaps thousands in Texas who can't get away, and who had no friends on this side to come to or to shelter with until they could establish themselves again and begin farming under more favorable auspices. There has been nothing made out there to feed stock for a year, and the hot winds burnt up the sap In the cotton stalks until they dried up and perished. So there will'be no money to pay for sbipped-ln food, for either man or beast. Such things do happen sometimes and we have been having our "seven years of plenty” and may look for some lean years even In good old Georgia, but I will take my chances among the old red hills, rather than with the variable seasons in far off Texas. I have been acquainted with farm life many years. I have seen frequent years of plenty and some years of fearful drouth. In 1845 we had a dry year and I heard my father say that he had one large field of corn which made some nubbins without a drop of rain to fall on it. It was river bottom land, how ever. and grew off rapidly. It was an awful drouth. That was the famine year tn Ireland when hundreds perished over there from lack of food. I remember there was a public call for corn and wheat to be ship ped to Ireland, and our family and the THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 12, 1909.

We were told later that there was great excitement ovex in Ireland when the American food ships reached port. Joy bells were rung and people fell pn their knees in thanksgiving. Emigrants left Ireland by the shipload, and the former population was reduced more than half because of sickness, fam ine and emigration. As a child, I eagerly read the stories that were published of Ireland’s sad condition and I felt that old Georgia was God’s country and I have continued to feel the same way—to three score and ten. There may be more fertile lands in ; other states, and people may heap up riches faster elsewhere, but Georgia Is good enough for me, and if I am faithful I can reach heaven by no shorter route than from Georgia.

The majority report is rendered by Madison Bell,, arbitrator for the Western I Union, and Col. A. J. West, umpire. C. Murphey Candler, arbitrator for the state, ’ submitted a dissent from the award of i the umpire. The compensation of the arbitrators and umpire is fixed at SSOO. The report of Madison Bell and Col. A. J. West follows: “In fixing the value of the franchise un ’ der which the Western Union Telegraph 1 company constructed and maintains and operates Its lines of telegraph in Geor gia, we have been unable to designate or set apart the value of the federal fran ' chise under which the testimony shows the company operates in Georgia, and our 1 finding is therefore based on and in* eludes the value of the franchise con ferred by the act of congress of June, 1868. • Whether the company is or is not liable • to taxation upon the value of the federal ■ franchise is not a matter for the deter -1 mination of the board, its function being merely to find the value of such fran- 1 chise. I "MADISON BELL. » "A. J. WEST.” • CANDLER DISSENTS TO REPORT. After recapitulating the various figures by which Comptroller General Wright ar i rived at his valuation of $950,000 for the t franchise Mr. Candler says: 1 "The company claims that its Georgia •! business is not profitable. This is no : I measure of the value of its franchises and • I other property used in this state. The 1 ' very nature ,of a telegraphic business f • proves the utter futility and absurdity of ' trying to ascertain values by segregating I • the business in each state. Its lines to ■ | other states and section traverse this i ■ state, and without this, business would be 1} almost impossible and frequently unprofit »; able In other states. Its business must f ■ be considered and valued as a whole. The ’ courts have so held.

Atlanta’s big automobile races are only four weeks away—four weeks from Tues day, next, they will begin. The sizes of i preparations at the Hapeville track Indl 'cate that these races might be pulled off Inext week before an audience comfortably seated In the grand stand and on the ‘ bleachers The final top dressing of tho 1 track with oil is well under way, and an I automobile might make fast time today. While the crowds will be allowed to entei the grounds today, signs were posted yes terday forbidding going upon the course itself. Way over under the inclosure the 25 garages, each accomodating three big racers, are completed, ready for use. The chamber of commerce committee on Information and public comfort has been Just as busy during the past week in pre paring for the crowds which the event at the track and at the auditorium build will attract. It has listed within the week accomodations in the hotels, board ing will attract. It has listed within the where nearly 10,000 visitors will find com fortable quarters during auto week. It has employed expert city directory can vassers, who are calling on citizens and by the end of the coming week the resi dence districts will have been visited. WHAT COMMITTEE DOES. I Some misunderstanding of what the J committee is doing has been reported. The i committee does not expect nor ask any citizen to open his home to visitors free of charge; a reasonable charge for the service should be made. The committee is listing accomodations In the hotels, boarding houses and in such private homes as may be offered, so that it may be in position to direct visitors to com fortable quarters. It Is serving merely as a responsible agent through which strangers may find temporary homes dur ing the busy first half of November. [ It makes absolutely no charge for Its i services, either to the local hotels, board ]ing houses or to citizens who may offer 1 their homes, nor to the visitors who may ask Its aid. The committee is composed of responsi Ible citizens, whose names are a guaran tee of a square deal. They are S. C. Dobbs, chairman: Brooks Morgan, St Elmo Massengale, W. W. Orr and Dr. H. B. Shultz. The work that has been ac ! compllshed during the past two weeks has been entirely satisfactory. If there had been any question that Atlanta would en tertain her guests with her accustomed hospitality, the doubt has vanished—but no one who knew her ever doubted it. The committee requests that those who have places in their homes to spare for auto week guests shall get in touch with it this week. Don’t wait for the can vassers. call or write to G. M.

B.—The New York Legislative league, composed of progres sive women, has decided by resolution that it is not Incumbent on a married woman to use her husband’s name. While this resolution was unanimously carried, many prominent speakers declared that |at the present time, with n»ew in a more powerful political position, it would be expedient for women to use some part of their husband’s names. "My husband objected to me using my own name,” declared Mrs. MafKafCt Holmes Bates, "and It did not do him any good. I wrote and signed my writings with my own niirne. It is all very well In private and social life to use youi husband’s name, if he is anybody. I don’t see why any body should use the name of a nonentity.” “It depends upon the name,” said Mrs. i Lillie Devereaux Blank, from the chair. I "I prefer my name because it Is pretty.” Discuss Molasses WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—The use and ' limitations placed upon the name "New ■ Orleans molasses" by the terms of the ' new pure food law, will be the subject of a general hearing before the board of food and drug inspectors of the depart ment of agriculture on November St, next.

Blosser, 51 Walton St., Atlanta, Ca. rabid Continued From Last Week The doctor calculated with three-quar ter rations to each man and full rations to the dogs, they might hold out for three weeks. By three in the afternoon everything was ready for the start. It was almost dark, for, though the sun had reappeared above the horizon since the thirty-first of January, its light was feeble and of short duration. The moon would rise about half-past six. The days wore on. Progress was slow. Blinding snow storms held them back. Moreover, the men, in spite of their iron will, began to show signs of fatigue. Halts became more frequent, and yet every hour was precious, for the provis ions were rapidly coming to an end. > On the 14th of March, after 16 days' march, the little party found them selves only yet in the eighty-second lat itude. Their strength was exhausted, and they had a hundred miles more to go. Rations had to be still further re duced. Each man must be content with a fourth part, to allow the dogs their full quantity. Worst of all there were only seven charges of powder left, and six balls. A little game was shot, but quick ly devoured. The weary men could hardJy drag themselves along by now The dogs had begun to gnaw their traces. Thalr last meal, on the Sunday even ing, was a very sad one—unless help came, their doom was sealed. The next morning Johnson saw a beau of huge dimensions. The old sailoi took It into his head that heaven had sent this bear specially for him to kill; and without waking his comrades, he seized the doctor's gun, and was soon In pursuit On reaching the right distance he took alm; but. Just as his finger touched the trigger, he felt his arm tremble. His thick gloves hampered him, he threw them off But what a cry of agony escaped him! The skin of his fingers stuck to the gun as if it had been red-hot. and he was forced to let it drop. The sudden fall made it go off. and the ball was discharged In the air. It was the last bullet Dr. Claw'oonny came out and saw what had happened. He dragged the poor fellow Into ths tent, where he made him plunge his hands into a bowl of water. Johnson’s hands had hardly touched it before it froze Immediately. “You are Just In time; I should have had to amputate soon,” said the doctor. That morning they had no breakfast. Pemmlcan and salt beef were both gons. Not a crumb of biscuit remained. They were obliged to content themselves with half a cup of hot ooffo®» and start off %hey scarcely went three miles before they were compelled to give up for the day. They had no supper but coffee, and the dogs were so ravenous that they were almost devouring each othep. Another day—B4 hours since they had tasted food. Yet they continued their march, sustained by their superhuman energy of purpose. They had to push the sledge themselves, for the dogs could no longer draw it. Then Johnson grew haggard-eyed and wild. He caught the doctor’s arm that "That bear is following us, he cried hoarsely. “A bear following us?" “Yes, for the last two days!” "Have you seen him?” "Yes. about a mile to leeward.” "Terrible. And we haven’t a single ball to send after him!” said the doc tor. "He Is reckoning on a good feed of hu man flesh!” cried Johnson, his brain giv ing way. “He ts sure enough of his meal!” continued the poor fellow. {’He must be hungry, and I don’t see why we should keep him waitin';.” "Johnson, calm yourself!” "No, Mr. Clawbonny, since we must die. why prolong the sufferings of the poor beast? He is famished like our selves. There are no seals for him to eat, and heaven sends him men! So much the better for him, that’s all!” Johnson was fast going mad. The situ ation was desperate. “Johnson,” said the doctor, "I shall kill that bear tomor row!” “Tomorrow!” said Johnson, as if wak ing up From some bad dream. "Yes, tomorrow.” "You have no bullets." "I’ll make one.” “You have no lead.” "No. but I have mercury." So saying, he took the thermometer, which stood at 50 degrees above zero, went outside and laid in on a block of ice. At dawn they rushed out to look at it. AH the mercury had frozen Into a hard pieca of metal i ready for use. Just then Hatteras made his appear ance. and the doctor told him his project and showed him the mercury. The captain grasped his hand silently, and th" three went off In quest of their game. They soon sighted him. about 300 yards distant. "Friends, this is no idle sport,” said Hatteras. "We must act prudently.” "Yes,” replied the doctor, "we have but the one shot. We must not miss. He would, outstrip a hare in fleetness:” "We must go right up to him,” said Hatteras. "I have a plan.” "What is it?” asked the doctor. "Well, you kept the skin of the seal you killed, didn’t you?” "It is on the sledge.” "All right! We’ll get it. Leave John son here to watch.” At the snow hut, Hatteras slipped into the seal skin. “Now, give me the gun,” he said. "Courage, Hatteras!” said the doctor, handing him the weapon, which he had loaded with the mercury bullet. Soon a seal was making its way toward the bear. It was a perfect imitation. The bear, greedy-eyed, waited. When the seal was »en naces away, the monster sprang forward with a tremend ous bound, but stopped short, stupefied and frightened, when Hatteras threw off his disguise, knelt on one knee, and aimed straight at the bear’s heart. He fired, and the huge monster rolled back on the Ice. Hatteras had aimed well, and before either of his companions came up he had plunged his knife in the animal's throat. "Hurrah! Bravo!” shouted Johnson and the doctor, but Hatteras stood cool and unexcited, gazing at his prostrate foe. The beast was very fat, and weighed 1,500 pounds. The hunters were so fam ished that they had hardly patience to cut up the carcass and carry home the flesh to be cooked. It needed all the doc tor’s persuasion to prevent them eating It raw. On entering the hut, they were struck with the coldness of the amosphere. The fire was out The exciting business of the morning had made Johnson neglect his accustomed duty. The doctor got the tinder and asked Johnson for the steel. The sailor went through his pockets and searched the hut. Ths steel was gone. "Ngt got the steel!” the doctor repeated, shuddering. "Look again." But it was gone. "This is a serious business, doctor," said Hatteras, gravely. Each sat looking at the other, and at death. It was serious. Then the doctor sprang to his feet. "An idea has occurred to ma.” “What?” said Hatteras. "Let us make a lens.” "How?" "With ice.” "We’ll try It Bring your hatchet Johnson.” A good sized place was soon cut off, about a foot in diameter, and the doctor set to work. He chopped it into rough shape with the hatchet; then with his knife, making as smooth a surface as SI.OO Package Free To All Every Man or Woman Can Have a Beautiful Head of Hair by Using the Wonderful Foso Treatment.

He finished the polishing pre* cess with his fingers, rubbing away until he had obtained a lens as transparent as crystal The sun was shining, the tinder was held beneath the ice lens to catch tho rays. In a few seconds it took fire, to Johnson’s rapturous delight. He danced about like an Idiot, almost beside himself with joy, and shouted, "Hurrah! hurrah!” while Clawbonny hurried back into the hut and rekindled the fire. It was soon roaring, and it was not many minutes before the navory odor of broiled bear steak roused Bell from his torpor. What a feast this meal was to the poor starving men may be Imagined. The doctor, however, counseled moderation tn eating, and set the example himself. “This Is a glad day for us,” he said, "and we have no fear of wanting food all the rest of our journey. Still we must not forget we have further to go yet. and I think the sooner we start the better."
