REACHES WILL BE SCANT CROP IN
1913.
The frost and freeze that succeeded
|he torrid spell which generated floods
knd cyclones, killed the most of the
oung peaches, but there will be some
left, unless they fall off in dry old
fummer tfme.
I examined some trees today as I
prove -ovef the farm and there was still'
few well-grown young peaches, that
|ooked healthy and promising.
There have been such floods of rain
[hat a dry spring might make the young
[ruit drop off the stem, even though it
doing fairly well at present—the
fcant crop which is left.
It goes without saying that we are
^oing to miss the peach crop, nearly as
nuch any any other money-making crop
|n Georgia, especially in the very fa
vored sections where peaches are grown
pn magnificent acreage, and where early
Shipments reach the northern markets,
|n refrigerator cars? and bring big
noney.
A short peacl^ crop, like a short cot-
ion crop, always increases the price, and
[he total loss of the peach crop means
wholesale and irreparable loss to the
fwners.
Perhaps we will find a way to ward
►ff the deadly frost after a while, and
[aise peaches as they do in California,
[y irrigation.
I have seen so many improvements
my three-quarters of a century that
should not be surprised to see peaches
laised under glass, as they do ip some
farts of England, even in Georgia.
THE TENDER, SMIIiZNG GREEN.
As I sat on my front porch yesterday
[nd looked across to the hills, I thought
never saw the landscape, familiar as
is, so smiling and beautiful in the
larly springtime. The green is so deli-
late and so tender in its pristine beauty.
Every blade of grass is doing its little
fest, and the bushes are simply hump*
ng themselves to get on their new
Ipring attire, ahead of the rest of green
Ihings. You can discover that the
foung leaves on the big oaks have
aken on size since the day before, and
[.lready there is a welcome shade, from
tiese giant oaks, for the sun came down
lot, and sent a hot pulse throughout
Llf nature, to stir up the sap. Every
light or so we And there has been a
■ttle shower, which, is enlivening the
Irost-bitten buds, and helping them to
Ipread out their crumpled edges, and
|vergrow the scorched places in na-
ure’s. beautiful spring gown. And it is
all given in a thousand delicate shades,
from the dark old pine trees that.have
been rigidly dressed up all* winter, to
the tiniest little sprout, which is so
young that it is obliged to be a pale
yellow, and still green.
Like the shades in a young baby’s red
face, the very young burs are simply a
beautiful shade between a tender green
and a cream color, until they get
strength to wear a thicker and stronger
color in green. But it is all green, the
restful, clean, satisfying shade that is
comforting, to old eyes, and gay but
not gaudy. The Heavenly Master sends
the rain and the sunshine ^nd then the
green deepens and then it is “warranted
to wear.”
ENJOY YOURSELF TODAY.
It’s today that I am livin’,
Not a month ago:
Havin’, losin’. takin’, givin’,
As time wills it so.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow
Fell across the way;
T t may rain again tomorrow,
It may rain—but say
Ain’t it fine today?
The real philosophy of life centers
about what you do today—not yester
day nor tomorrow.
Ye terday is gone, with all its cares
and sorrows, and tomorrow may not
come to you, but today is yours and
it will bring you a blessing or maybe
a sorrow, but it is all you may count
upon with certainty. Therefore enjoy
it, as you go along.
Last week we had a surfeit of flood
news, the week before it was cyclone
news, but it was all O. K. with the
great majority of us, and we owe it
ourselves and a protecting Provi
dence to be as cheerful and as oblig
ing as lies in our power. The flood
sufferers have gone to work to clean
up end doubtless are profoundly thank
ful that they have' renewed blessings
in sight, after the stress and strain
that has been their portion. Surely,
we who escaped both floods and cy
clone should be as happy and as cheer
ful f j Jthose who are picking up their
burdens Tn the afflicted sections of our
country.
It is au amazing feature of all these
great disasters that so few people are
really drowned and blown into atoms.
There seems to be a way provided so
that scores are saved under the most
alarming conditions. “It may rain
again tomorrow. Ain’t it fine today?”
YOU AND YOUR WIFE
XVIII.—HER ALLOWANCE
BY GRAHAM HOOD.
The ordinary man, as we meet him in
[veryday life, seems to possess few of
he qualities of the miser. When among
lis acquaintances he can hold up his end
|f the costs of hospitality with strict
egard for the proprieties. If he wants
Inything very badly, and he sees his
Jay to obtain it, he buys it—whether it
a new tie or a latest model auto
mobile. In many cases, however, the
|rdinary man assumes a different atti-
ude as he approaches his own fireside,
[he spirit of generosity to the outside
J'orld, he frequently exhibits symptoms
hat are dangerously suggestive of act-
lal penuriousness when it comes to the
|uestion of adding a “wife’s allowance”
his list of fixed charges.
If it were possible to compile statis-
les showing the real causes of all the
parital infelicity which exists, we
hould probably find that the financial
luestioh is at the bottom of a goodly
Iroportion of this evil—that the wife’s
pfficulties in extracting money for her
i uses froito an unwilling husband
in many instances, made life an un-
learable state of misery for both.
I Young people who marry are inclined
take too much for granted. Certain
to the sincerity of the affection which
liey feel for each other, they are in-
pined to assume that life is to be com-
osed exclusively of sunshining days,
Ihen the bride’s smallest wish will fall
Jith commanding force upon the willing
ars of the groom. And it is this which
dually occurs—for days or weeks or a
|ionth or two. If the wife wants for
nything the husband is eager to pro-
lire it for her, and these purchases give
|im so much pleasure that the subject
stated allowance seldom suggests
Iself.
] If life were one never-ending honey-
loon the question of money might ad-
pst itself, but as it is inevitable that
he day must come when two lovers
fill come back to things material,
wife’s allowance should be a mat-
fur early consideration. It is dan-
jerous to let the discussion of this
uestion be too long postponed. If
LET US NOT PROMOTE EVIL
By Bishop
WHILE CORRECTING AN EVIL
W. A. Candler
the wife is possessed of a sensitive
nature, she may bear many humilia
tions of financial stringency in silence,
feeling that if her husband realy loved
her he Wuuld be quick to recognize her
need and eager to meet it. It is not
improbable, too, that the problems may
occasionally ocur to him, but’ only to
be dismissed with the thought that
he is so willing to give her muney 1
whenever she has need for it that
there is no reason why the subject of
an allowance should trouble either of
them. He forgets that, in taking this
attitude, he places her in a position
wheer she may be cumpeled to de
scend to petty pilfering or to play
the role of the humble supplicant to
obtain something "which rightfully be
longs to her.
If the wife does her part in pro
moting the interest of the home firm,
it ife only fair that she should have a
share in the profits. *She has duties and
responsibilities as well as he, and she
must meet them; she has social obli
gations which cannot be evaded ex
cept at the cost of humiliation, and if
proper provisions for such exigencies
are not made for him it may not be
long before she may find it easier to
secure this money through acts of du
plicity—or worse—rather than humble
herself to beg for the few dollars
which she needs so badly'. It makes
no difference how she -may elect to
spe.nd this money. Suppose she should
waste a dime or two now and then.
Even he, perhaps may waste as much
in ways to which he' makes little ref
erence when in the home circle. And,
in any case, it is his duty to see that
she is afforded some means for the
maintenance of her own ^elf-respect,
for when a women is forced ta choose
between going down on her knees to
her husband ever ytime she needs a
dollar for her own use and picking his
Pocket as he lies in bed at night, the
love, the happiness, and the honor of
beta periliously close to the danger
mark.
When men would do good evil is often
very present with them. They fall into
wrong methods by putting undue em
phasis on some things while overlook
ing others; and thus they taint with
wrong what they design for good only.
Such has been the case with the re
cent efforts put forth to investigate and
correct “the social evil” in some of the
great cities.
There can be no worse evil, and too
earnest effort cannot be made to put it
away from the cities. Its vileness is
unspeakable and its consequences are
immeasurable. No man who cares for
the welfare of mankind or the honour
of God can be indifferent to plans look
ing to its extirpation, or look with a
critical eye upon those who are sin
cerely trying to put it out of existence.
Doubtless many causes enter into the
production and propagation of this evil,
and it is altogether wise to look care
fully into its sources. They are not one,
but many, and they should be most
minutely and honestly investigated.
But in all the investigations of the
social evil, and in all the efforts put
forth to remove it, great care tntist be
taken that nothing be done to weaken
moral life and set up low standards of
conduct. It is to be feared that such
care has not been taken always. There
is reason to apprehend that in some of
the investigations good men have pro
ceeded upon an assumption which car
ries with it the most demoralizing im
plications. Some of them have as
sumed that between this form of im
morality and the low wages paid to
working girls In the cities there is an
inevitable and invariable connection of
cause and effect.
Now no one will deny that the wages
paid working girls in the cities are
often shamefully inadequate, and it is
quite possible, not to say probable, that
a low wage in some cases has made
the resistance of temptation more diffi
cult and the lapse from virtue more
easy. The withholding of a living wage
is to be roundly condemned, and its
small wages, and they lie in wait for
me game which they imagine may be
£>o easily taken.
Upon this subject the New York
Titnes printed recently a very thought
ful and wise editorial. The editor,
among other things, said:
Reasonable persons would admit
that a too scanty wage, by making
it more difficult to resist tempta
tion, would in many cases render
easier the lapse from virtue. But
when from the testimony given the
assumption is made that low wages
are a chief contributing cause of
immorality, and when in particular
testimony is given and is gravely
commented upon as if it were, the*
statement of a social fact, to the
effect that reproach must be with
held when the scantiness of the
wage is given as the reason for trans
gression, then it becomes evident
that the investigation and the dis-
cusssion are productive of vastly
more harm than good.
If these crude and hasty assump
tions were true, if this relation be
tween wages and virtue is accepted
as established, if we must believe
that the bulwarks of morality are to
be sought in economic conditions,
then millions upon millions of ser
mons that have been preached
through the long centuries and are
preached today are shown to be
false and futile, the theory of the
moral sentiments must be discarded,
and all our prevailing standards of
right conduct will be overthrown.
The emotions are a highly unsafe
guide in the search for economic
or social truth, and the discussion
of the evidence given in Chicago
has been in great part purely emo
tional. The light of relation and
of experience seems to have been
extinguished or obscured while
these matters have been talked
about.
To assume that virtue and purity
are merely a question of the differ
ence between $6 a week and $8 a
we’ek is to leave quite out of sight
the influence of home training and
association, and to deny all saving
influence in the innate moral sense.
Under the teachings of such a doc
trine human society would undergo
frightful depredation. It is amaz-
inz that ministers of the Gospel- do
not see the tendency of the line
of thought and discussion so light
ly entered upon. We should sup
pose that they would thunder from
the pulpit their denunciation of
these week-old theories that, if. they
gained a general acceptance, would
deprive the Church of influence
and its moral teachings of all value.
The editor of the Times is correct,
in these views, which he expresses so
clearly and cogently i «nd there are
some things which his words sug
gest that are scarcely less important.
If the notiuA is set going that a cheap
wage explains every lapse from virtue,
the inevitable inference * from that is
that a hard life amply justifies a fall
from purity, or, at least excuses and
extenuates the sin. This idea naturally
encourages weak girls to fall into sin;
it takes the keen sense of virtue away
and invites to evil.
Since the days of the sentimental
“Song of the Shirt” there has been too
much mistaken talk uf the sort that
makes sinners fall into self-pity; and
self-pity always operates to weaken
moral resolution and Increase moral
failures. That which one is led to be
lieve can not be helped one feels no
compunctions in doing and small sor
row for it after it is done. Coddling
drunkards and petting vice always in
crease the stock of intemperance and
impurity in the community.
Sobriety is not an impossibility to
any man, whatever may be his hered
ity or his environment; purity can be
maintained and ought to be maintained,
and in multiplied thousands of cases
is maintained, ^n the face of starvation
and sorest temptation. Virtue of every
sort is no virtue at all unless it is
unpurchasable. Stern as these senti
ments may seem, they ought to be pro
claimed as the axioms of all sound and
saving ethics.
Moreover, the whole community may
easily shuffle off upon the shoulders
of employers of working girls blame
which belongs to itself. There is a
mania for cheapness which ofteh puts
merchants into great perplexity. A
rich man or woman owns the store In
which a merchant conducts his busi
ness, and demands a high rental; but
the same person also demands of the
merchant the very lowest . possible
prices for his goods. What is he to do
in such a case? He generally does
what others do; he tries to buy what
he must buy as cheaply as possible,
the labour of his clerks included. Hence
the low wages to shop-girls. The bar
gain-counter frequenters are somewhat
responsible in this matter of low wages.
Again there has been a popular de
mand to have young women enter trade;
the supply of such clerks is very large,
and the wages paid them have yieldca
to the law of supply and demand, and
haver-fallen. No legislation looking to
the fixing of a minimum wage can
remedy this evil. The editor of the
Times says upon this point most truly
these self-evident trutns:
The legislative remedies proposed
for the bettering of social condi
tions are as unbound as the theories
from which they proceed. Even an
amateur in social uplift ought to
see that a general and forced in
crease of wages would certainly
have two results—a very great in
crease in applications for employ
ment and a raising of standards of
efficiency and intelligence. Perhaps
some of the theorists can tell how
a girl now getting $6 or $7 a week
would be safer if she was gettipg
nothing a week. Yet that would
be the result of the minimum wage
venture. The least capable would
inevitably be unemployed, and the
submerged tenth that there used to
be so much talk about would be de
noted by a larger fraction.
The remedy is not in legislation, nor
in any of the hysterical reforms that
cry in our streets: The tide which is
carrying too many women into trade
must be turned backward to the home.
Young men who ought to be married
and caring for pure young wiyes in
plain Christian homes are without em-

LIFE RAFTS PLACED IN
CAIRO READY FOR FLOOD
Rain Swells Rivers to Extent
That People Prepare for
'the Worst
CAIRO, Ill., April 7.—In their anx
iety to prevent the levee from breaking
on the Ohio river side of Cairo, citizens
overlooked any danger which might
come from the Mississippi river side
with the result . that. a force of work
men had to be rushed there early to
day when a washout was threatened be
tween Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth
streets.
High winds had caused the river to ;
cut into the bank to such an extent
that the danger was imminent before
it was discovered.
Several bags of sand were hurriedly
carried to the place from'the Ohio river
levee in automobiles and further ero
sion of the bank was prevented for the
time.
The water on the ,Mississippi side is
well below the levee top.
Arangements being made by Lieuten
ant Buckner, United States army, for
the safety of the people went ahead
today, and it was expected that by night
small life rafts would be placed
throughout the city in readiness for a
possible big brealt.
Believing that the precautions for
saving life in Cairo in case the water
flows into the town have been made
about as complete as they can be with
the facilities at hand, Lieutenant Buck
ner today diverted his attention to the
countryside.
AID SENT TO FARMERS.
Four non-ommissioned officers, who
accompanied the lieutenant here from
Paducah, were assigned to investigate
the needs of the farmers who may have
cattle or other live stock in danger.
Two of these officers with a group of
men started for “Dog Tooth Bend,” that
portion of the Mississippi which forms
one of the two southern peninsulas of
Illinois.
It was reported in that vicinity were
in danger of losing cattle. It Is the plan
to carry them out with ferryboats.
Another expedition was sent to the
Kentucky side of the Ohio with sim
ilar equipment for the aid of farm
ers.
“I believe we c#uld now take care of
every soul V in Cairo,” said Lieutenant
Buckner, “provided, of course, the wa
ter did not come in with a rush.”
Later in the day the sun came out
brightly and the weather became warm
again. The gauge continued to hover
about 54.7, with no noticeable change.
Flood waters in the Ohio j
began to rise again early to- !
day and at 7 o’clock the gauge read-J
ing was 54.7. The water had hovered'j
about the 54.6 mark for nearly 12 [
hours despite a steady rain.
The banking of sand bags at Four- j
teenth street was found to be permit- !
ting a considerable amount of seep- |
age early today and all the workmen j
available were gathered there to rein- j
force it. The condition was not con- j
sidered alarming.
Reports from Reelfoot levee dis- j
trict said that 1,000 men were work- J
ing to save a break in the dikes of j
that section. A break there would
bring relief here within less than an
hour.
The weather today was chilly and
the wind had swept to the north. Con
sidered from every standpoint, condi
tions were regarded as nopeful for at
least another week.

* Wholesorpe Foods at L.ittle Cost
THE NEED OF MEAT.
BY. J. A. KUSIX M. D.
Ever since the human <$iet has been
studied in a scientific manner the prin
ciple has become established that the
average human being requires for his
daily consumption four ounces of pro
tein matter. This protein matter, as
it is called, is the chief nutritive prin
ciple of all foods derived from 'animal
sources. Thus, for instance, the meats
of the different animals supply protein
material. Fish, eggs, cheese and milk
rank among the most important sources
of this nutritive principle so essential
to the maintenance of a sound physical
constitution.
The vegetables, as a rule, have very
little protein. But there are some ex
ceptions. The dried bean, for example,
contains a^. much protein material as
some of the meats. The cereals are
very rich in this foodstuff, oatmeal
having as much as 16 per cent. Bread
and nuts are also among the foods well
supplied with protein matter. It is for
this reason that the cereals and the
legumes, such as peas and beans, are
of great( value as side dishes to meat.
They supply part of the protein in
the form of vegetable instead of animal

TO AMERICAN SUFFRAGIST IN LONDON
(By Associated Press. 1
WASHINGTON, April 7.—Officials at
the state department today said the
attitude of the United States in the
case of Miss Zelie Emerson, the Amer
ican militant suffragette imprisoned
in London, would be determined after
the receipt of a further report from
the London embassy, which was or
dered to investigate charges that the
young woman had been subjected to
cruel treatment.
It was pointed out today that if Mrs.
Emerson, mother of the young woman
has complained to the embassy, it must
have been subsequent to the sending
of Charge Laughlin’s report of yester
day, which said the mother had filed
no charges, although she was granted
an hour’s interview with her daughter.
Secretary Bryan will immediately
take up with Chandler Anderson, the
counsellor of the department, the ques

meat at a much lower cost. Not only
do these vegetables serve as good sub
stitutes for part of the meat, but by
vMrtue of the starches contained in them
they also serve to give a wholesome
mixed diet.
Meat of the average quality contains
about 20 per cent of proteins and 15
per cent of fat. The rest is water and
other materials. Meat, therefore, is a
highly concentrated food. , There is a
great .deal of nutritive material in small
bulk. T6 supply the same quantity
through vegetables, the bulk of the food
would become so large and the indiges-
tible vegetable fibre so excessive as to
embarrass the powers of digestion.
Meat, then, is a real need in the
ordinary man’s diet. One-half pound
of meat daily will supply about two
ounces of protein matter, or about one-
half of the daily requirement. The
other half should be supplied through
the use of bread, cereals, and Vege
tables. Through such moderate use
of meat this wholesome and highly
nutritious foodstuff could be hadd at
comparatively little cost.

clemency in Mrs. Maybrick’s case, sinco
the representations were unofficial,
though made through the American
embassy in London.
Secretary Bryan w*snes first to es
tablish the complete regularity of the
judicial proceedings in the case of Miss
Emerson, and if he follows the ordi
nary course and ascertains there ha3
been no discrimination against the wo
man on account of her nationality and
that she has not been treated in a cru
el and inhuman manner, forbidden by
the principles of the law common to
all nations, he likewise probably will
confine himself to the exercise of his
functions in an unofficia* way to secure
an amelioration of Miss Emerson’s con
dition.
