HOW WE MADE THE QUILTS
Dear Houaebold: We have just finished two !
quilts for the Orphans' Home and will tell
you bow we did It. Tbe girls pieced squares
' for theirs and we older ones b.'tight the goods
and made solid tops and met together and
I quilted them. Some people do not believe 1
i in the Orphans’ home, but I think it is the i
* grandeet Institution we hare. Its discipline .
in raising children Is far ahead of a great >
I many homes. If I- have children to leave
I homeless t when I die I want them plated
} there. ' I think every true father and mother
| want their children t do well, and they will
make sacrifices for their good, and it's tbeir
whole glory to see them make pure Christians
and noble men and women. Some people would
jump at tbe chance of taking a child In for
Its work and think It would be a grand thing
to make oat of them what God wants them I
to be It will be a blasting failure In tbe end. |
There is nothing any sadder to me than j
to see parents living a wicked life and lead
ing tbeir children after them.
A great many people have it tn their beads
that they won’t try to live right until some
one tine does better. I wonder- if they think
God wo| have them on seeount of the other not
doing Wetter 1
I bates more sympathy for a school teacher
than fob any other, and If I 1 knew they would
stand b> me I would eome back some times
in their : behalf.

TROUP COUNTY TAXES
. SHOW GOOD YEAR
LAGRANGE. Ga., Dec. 35-TrouiJ
county is financially In excellent condi
tion. This Is the report gathered from
statement* made by Tax Collector C.
B. Johnson. Tax books In thia county
were scheduled to dose December 20.
and at that time about $70,000 had al
ready been collected through Mr. John
son and his assistants
‘“Troup county is not poor this year,”
said Tax Collector Johnson, In talking
of tax collections. “We say we’re poor,
but there is plenty of money in this
county and the people who are tax pay
ers are slowly but surely paying up all
their claims. Os course, as in any bus
iness enterprise, there is some loss, but
Troup will show the least loss of any
county in Georgia, I believe.”
Tbe tax office showing in Troup coun
ty Is a safe indication of the resources
of the county, say the business men
and merchants. Extension of credit has
worked a hardship on a few farmers
and others by reason of the fact that
having secured too much credit
when finances become tight, as has hap
pened this autumn, some few were
pinched financially.
Slow sales of cotton ha* made money
very tight so far, but the gradual re
leasing of this staple nas put more mon
ey in circulation and the outlook for
the year 1912 in Troup county presents
a roseate hue. The added assurance
from Troup farmers that next year will
tee a surprisingly small planting of cot
ton seed gives impetus to trade also
which by tbe end of next year will have
given Troup county a new and higher
rung on the ladder of agricultural prog
ress.
POLICEMAN LIVES WITH
HIS SPINAL CORD CUT
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y.. Dec. Z7-
Policeman T. J. Buffalo, of the local
force, whose spinal cord was shattered
in a street brawl last winter and then
sewed together with the result that he
began to improve immediately, is dying
today at bis home here. A slow paraly
sis which followed the injury is creep
ing toward his heart and will probably
gain the mastery within the next 24
hours.
The operation whereby the policeman’*
cord was mended was regarded by sur
geons as one of the most remarkable
ever performed. Though paralyzed frjm
the shoulders down following his injury,
Buffalo gradually recovered the use of
his various muscles, until two months
ago, when he was declared completely
cured. His relapse began a week ago.

HEAVY RAINS BREAK
RECORD IN ALBANY
I ALBANY, Ga., Dec. 25.—The rainfall
i here for the past few days broke some
j records. Measurements for four days
Iby Weather Observer D. W. Brosnan
| showed a total precipitation for that pe
riod of 7.62 inches. The measurements
j by the observer are made ek’ery morning
lat 7 o'clock, and the figures for u»e
four days are as follows: December 20,
I .80 of an inch; 21, .94 of an inch; 22, 1.85;
inches; 23, 4.03 inches; total, 7.62 inches.
Flint river, which never gets high ‘
| enough at this point to do any mate- '
rial damage, owing to the fact that its
banks are quite precipitous, is rising
| rapidly. For the 24-hour period from
j Friday morning at 7 o'clock to Satur
' day morning at the same hour, the rise
’ was 5.7 feet The stage of the river at
7 o’clock this morning was 10.7 feet
I above the low-water mark, and indica
, tions are that it has only begun to feel
I the effects of the recent heavy general
rains, which will swell it rapidly to the -
high-water mark.
The principal damage by the rain in -
this section was to unpicked cotton in -
the fields. Labor has been so scarce
this fall that many Helds of cotton had ■
not been touched by pickers. The rains •
have beaten much of this cotton out •
| and reduced all of, it to the lowest •
j grade, so that it is’ hardly worth pick- ■
ing now.
I Merchants of Albany lost heavily by ■
the rains, which ' continued through
what would have been the busiest part -
of the Christmas shopping season. Al- •
bany has become a big shopping cen
ter for a wide territory, and the rain
kept away a large part of the out-of
torn trade, by automobile and railway,
that the merchants of Albany had made
elaborte preprations for. When the
rain held up today tnere was a rush and
crush in the stores taxed the in
creased clerking forces to the utmost.
DIVORCED, WOMAN GETS,
INSURANCE OF HUSBAND
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 27.—Though di
vorced from him six years before his
death last AprU, Mrs. Eva Conrad is
entitled to the proceeds of a $6,000 life
insurance policy of Henry Conrad, who
was a wealthy packer, according to the
rulings of Judge William H. Field, of the
circuit court here.
The insurance company, in answer to
her suit, admitted its liability to some
one and offered to pay the money into
court.
Holding against the administrator, the
court decided yesterday that Inasmuch
as the policy was fully paid up two years
before the divorce and since Mrs. Conrad
was named unconditionally as the bene
ficiary the principal sum must be con
sidered as hers absolutely and not sub
ject to the terms of the divorcee decree
which provided that each return to the
other property acquired by reason of the
marriage.

RUSSIA’S DOORS MAY BE
: SHUT TO AMERICAN JEWS
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 27.—A supple
mentary legislative proposal of a frankly
■' prohibitive character was introduced by
i the Nationalists into the duma today.
It is aimed directly at the United
. States.
According to the terms of the pro
posed enactment, American citizens of
the Jewish religion are to be totally
barred from Russia and In the second
. place customs duties are to be raised
by 100 per cent unless the Russian nor
mal schedule Is lower than the Amr’i'i
. can. In that case a duty equaling the
American duty will be collected.
The author of the bill states that the
. last provision is necessary in order to
. deal with the Importation of American
. Agricultural machinery.
Thi remaining points of the proposed
. bill correspond in virtually every >ar
. ticular with the bill introduced on De
. cember 22 by Guchkoff pro
. viding for tariff schedules applicable to
. the United States at the expiration of
. th4 Russo-American commerce and nav
. igatlon treaty of 1832.

U. s. MONITOR MONTEREY
COMPLETES LONG CRUISE
’ AMOY, China, Dec. 26.—The United
' States monitor —onterey, which has just
’ completed a cruise to the treaty port
’ of Suatow returned here this morning.
The depredations of the pirates along
‘ the West river have brought about the
' entire suspension of river traffic above
’ the city of Chang Chow.
The family needs fresh aid in cold. Just
as much as in hot weather. It is a mis-
• take to so fasten storm-windows that
they cannot be opened. Better no storm
windows at all. For more disease comes
from poor ventilation than from insuffi
cient warmth. Stonn windows save coal;
but, unless so put up that they do not
prevent ventilation, they multiply doc
tors’ bills.

LIGHT TS HELATIOM TO TBEE
QBOWTK
Light Is said to be absolutely Indis
pensable for the life and growth of
trees. In common with other green
plants, a tree in order to live, must
produce organic substance * for the
building of new tissues. Certain low
forms of vege able life, such as bac
teria and fungi, do not require light.
They exist by absorbing organic sum
stance from other living bodies; the
higher forms of plants manufacture
their own organio material by extract
ing carbon from the air. The leaves,
through the agency of their chloropyli,
or green coloring matter, absorb from
the air carbon dioxide, and give off a
nearly equal volume of oxygen. The
carbon dioxide is then broken up into
its elements and converted into or
ganic substances which are used in
building up new tissues.
Light also influences transpiration,
and consequently the metabolism ot
green plants. It influences largely the
structure, the form, and the color ot
the leaf, and the forrri of the stem
and the crown of the tree. In the
forest it largely determines the height
growth of trees, the ri.te at which
stands thin out with age, the progress
of natural pruning, the character or
the living ground cover, the vigor of
young tree growth, the existence of
several-storied forest, and many other
phenomena upon which the manage
ment of forests depends. A thorough
understanding, therefore, of the effect
of light upon the life of individual
trees, and especially on trees in the
forest', and a knowledge of the meth
ods by which the extent of this effect
can be determined are essential for
successful cultural operations in the
forest.
DAIRY NOTES.
, Many farmers have drawn a great
measure of prosperity from the teats of
the dairy cow.
The silo should be its widest popularity
in the corn belt where the cornstalks are
allowed to deteriorate and largely waste
in the weather.
Selected cows, feed crops that are
grown on our farms, will yield fair prof
its to any man who likes the dairy busi
ness and will stay with it.
The dairy cow brings to impoverished,
half-farmed lands methods that rive
larger profits and greater Improvement
than come from other types of farming.
THIS IS WORTH TRYING.
For the window boxes In which to start
vegetables next spring take up now a
quantity of loose rich soil and burn it
to kill all old vegetable life. This can
be done by burning wood over the soil
before it is taken up or on a piece of
sheet iron over a fire. Put this in a bar
rel and keep in a perfectly dry place.
When your seeds come up fronc this
soil next spring they will be free from
weeds.
A strawberry bed had ought to be pre
pared right now if you have not done it
before. Spade the ground deeply, rake it
foro’.M.hly' and spade again, applying
plenty of manure after the first spading.

I NEXT YEAR’S MOISTURE FROM
THIS WINTER-'S SNOW.
“During the last two years the weathet
bureau has made systematic measure
ments of the amount of snowfall in the
mountain regions of the west the
purpose of determining as accurately ad
possible the amount of water available
for agricultural and commercial Inter
ests during the ensuing spring and sum
mer seasons.” The above statement was
I
made recently by Secretary of Agricul
ture Wilson.
Continuing, the secretary said: “In con- K
nection with the study of snowfall and
its c nsequent runoff, a systematic snoW
survey was begun in the watershed ol
Maple Creek, near Springville, Utah.
While the work was of an experimental
nature it is thought that within two
years sufficient observations will have
been obtained to permit of accurate fore
casts of water supply from the v Intel
snowfall. The system can also be ex
tended to other and larger projects, and
the work will be limited only by purpose.
The report on the preliminary campaign
in the Maple Creek watershed has
brought many expressions of commenda
, tion from farmers and hydraulic en
gineers.”
