Tnese men claimed tUa' su-iic* uu> of an eight-hour oay, when they had been getting pay for a ten hoCir day. To illustrate, the men who had been getting one dollar per Hour for ten hourq tn the day, wouid now be getting sl-25 for eight hours. Also ..Ta’ tne men who had been getting ten dollars for a ten-hour service, would thereafter receive $12.50, if he worked ten hours in any day. Any man w ho' was paid fifty cents per hour will re ceive 62 1-3 cents per hour. If he works eight hours he gets six dollars and titty cents, where he had been getting five dollars per day. Tne rauroads natural- Jy objected, and told the president that Increased rates would certainly follow, and the people who patronized railroads in travel and transportation of goods would have to pay the increased wages. Aii this was made plain to congress be fore than body passed the bill tnaaing eight hours pay stand for the day's work, when ten fiours' pay was already producing liigh rates of travel and transportation. This increase of wages is likely to be forced- all along the line. It will stop railway building.' because no contrac tors can risk Signing a contract when tne ia-W can strike fcr increased wages and congress will sustain their demand. The great trouble in strike demands Its in the opportunity to-break con tracts. Tnis eight-hour day is going to reach down to all sorts of labor. A ifaraicr who has been paying for ten hours, must pay the same for eight hours and at the former price of ten hours. Clerks in stores. ■ formerly en- ■ gaged from eight in the morning to six . in the afternoon, have an equal right to ■ eidnrand the same wages if they quit at i four. It is the lever that will turn all ■business into new methods and disturb . conditions. PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA. To those who have seen the published statements of the-amount of intoxicat ing liquors brought into Georgia and de livered to the ordinaries of the various counties by the express company’s mes sengers. the outlook for the state is de pressing and disheartening. The express offices are packed with these liquor shipments, and the illegal sales with blind tigers and the automobile whisky runners are only to be guessed at—the amount is beyond question, and also'be yvnd The so-called prohibition legislation of the year 191 C was a snare and a delusion, and the proof of its infamous character is fully exhibited by the police records, the miserable drunkards and the flood or liquor packages. -The audacity of these traders in hell s boose is something astounding. They' earfe absolutely nothing for the innocent and helpless who are tied on to these drunkards. They put aside the moral side of the liquor question, and go in for the money profit—no matter how many boys are deliberately ruined in mind, body and estate, and we are so short on honorable officials that liquor is absolute in the state of Georgia. The prohibition movement in congress is also sidetracked—relesated to the rear. The voice of the nation was hoard In November on tfle liquor question, but it would seem that it was only a horse to ride in on. but a horse to be turned out to grass, as soon as the politicians ’had their hypocrisy established and em phasized. To an old body, like myself, the most disheartening phase of the sub ject is the apathy of the churches, the indifference of the men of prominence and the lack of respect for the laws on the statute books. We are posing as law-abiding people, when we are simply a nation of law-breakers. SLATDRY IN COLONIAL DATS. In the year 1611 tobacco was the mon ey crop in Virginia. History tells us that white servants were bought in Eng land for service in Virginia. They were resold to the highest bidder. In 1630 sixty young white women were sent out to Virginia and they were resold at 13V to ISO pounds of tobacco each. About that time a Dutch man of war landed twenty negroes at Jamestown «August. 16201. thus Introducing slavery and the slave trade. Then white servants began to sell at from forty to sixty pounds English money. In 1621 cotton was first planted in Virginia. Silk culture also ii i lira if I poll rd IVTothers know what’s good for *a cold and so do the children. It’s Dr. Bell’s Pine Tar Honey. Children catch ’cold easily but respond j quickly to this effective remedy. There are many ways of catching cold—poor ven tilation, exposure, damp clothing and wet feet When the children sneeze and sniffle, have a sore throat or that stuffy feeling, be prepared by having a bottle of Dr. Bell’s Pine Tar Honey. . The honey and glycerine heals and soothes the throat, the antiseptic balsams kill the germs and relieves the cold. Children love to take it. Look for the Bell and formula on bottle.

Some- days when the mercury was only a little above 20 I would not jjet more than one egg a day. I must confess for the credit of my hens that they were not to blame, t'hert ’ is nothing green for them and their run is not "to my notion” nor to theirs’. Oft en when 1 see pictures of how things about a poulty yard should not be 1 tell the farmer that some one has been tak ing pictures of things out here. But Rome was not built in a day and we are gradually getting things in shape. 1 tell you these things for the encouragement of poultry enthusiasts who sometimes write to me and say, “If 1 could have things as you have them, I'd do thus and so” This home is set within fifty feet of the. boundary of the land. That means that almost everything must be located in o*e direction or be in the "big road” or four or five hundred feet away, be yond the barn. Everybody who has rais ed chickens knows that the youngsters should have a good range, yet not run with the baby chicks, they must be near enough for one to see to them at least i five times a day. 1 would put mine in the front yard but for the fact that they would have to learn to swim. Tomorrow we shall have a brooder • house built and keep the early hatches in there until they arc at least three weeks old, then 1 shall tut them in coops, with dry places to roost, tor little chickens I "must* not sleep in damp quarters. This year 1 shall keep hens to hover the ba bies and try to plan for at least two to hatch at the same time, but to raise them without a hen is far more satis factory if you can keep them warm. A 1 jug filled with hot water and wrapped in a crocus sack, then set in a frame and covered so that the babies can run under the covering and nestle against the warm cloth has been successfully used by some friends of mine. 1 kept some from freezing by filling a hot wa ter bag and putting it in a cheese box prevailed. In 1«42 cotton manufacturing began with cotton imported from the Barbadoes, where there were many negro slaves. In 1643 a ship left Salem. Mass., for Guinea. Africa, to bring a cargo of slaves to America —the first direct slave i trade between New England and Africa. In 1648 there were 20.000 colonists in Virginia. 400 being negroes. Virginia had thirty-one ships engaged in slave trade. In 1663 there was in Virginia an insurrection of white servants, but they were defeated and quelled. In 1675 the white population in New England was 55.000: the Indian population. 30.000. In 1685. 1.000 prisoners taken in Mon mouth's English rebellion were sent to Virginia to be indentured as servants for ten years. In this way Virginia se • cured some good citizens. In 1685 tnere were only about 200.000 colonists in the various states. In 1706 South Carolina swarmed with slaves —negroes. In 1711 a committee in the English house of commons reported that the American plantations “ought to be sun plied with slaves at reasonable rates." In 1712 there was a resolution offer ed in Pennsylvania to emancipate ne groes. The legislature resolved that it -was neither just or convenient to set them at liberty." In 1713 England contracted to parry to the Spanish West Indies 4,800 negroes | for thirty years. During that thirty I years not far from 30,000 were taken from Africa annually, as against 15,000 a year for the previous twenty years. In 1721 Virginia became so dismayed at the increase of negroes that they put • a tax on their importation at that date, but that law was so On repealed. In 1727 South Carolina complained at the vast importation of negroes. The state then had 30.000 negroes. In 1749 New York state had 10,692 negroes. Boston had 1,000. In Phila delphia the negroes were one-fourth the population. In Maryland and Virginia one-half; in South Carolina, still more. In 1761 Newport. R. 1.., had 690 slaves. In 1761 Virginians were not allowed to emancipate slaves. In 1771 New York had 40,000 slaves. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.,. FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1917. | and covering it, they would have had leg ! weakness if I had not given them over head heat in the day and put it under j them at night. 1 had one brooder that was made of tongued and grooved floor ' inc tour feet square, eighteen inches I high in the back and two and a half feet !in front. This had a square of window . glass on each side set in, south ano east the glasses could slide and wire ‘ was there to allow ventilation. A ten inch board that extended across the en tire front was on hinges and opened out ward, this made away for the youngsters to run in and out on sunny days. 1 could aJso ventilate from the top as it projected over and had a strip all around like a box top. 1 would lift the top an inch, insert something and have over head ventilation and no draft Another made very much like it had a hole in the middle of the floor, a piece of wire netting to keep the chicks from getting burned and a regular brooder lamp slipped under it. That one had to always have the overhead ventilation. And I believe it was about as satisfac tory as any lamp-heating arrangement could be. Some of these, days I hope to have a coal or gasoline burner; lamps are so uncertain that for the present I shall use hens. Have you who have no green stuff where your flock can run on it com menced your oats yet? They should have a hot mash every cold morning, as well as warm water to drink. Put the oats on and pift just enough water to cover them; let the water boil, cut up a dozen pods of red pepper for half a bucket of water and mix with the boiling oats 1 Then make the mash thick and crumbly with wheat bran and a half pint of cotto, seed meat I am supposing that your flock has plenty of buttermilk. If not get commercial meat scraps and some ground bone. They can’t get bugs in January. Perdue university has a splendid bul letin on, “Poultry Conditions in Indiana,” and they report as the result of two years’ work the following average pel hen for each year: First pen. Egg production, meat scrap, 135 eggs. Second pen; production, skim milk. 133.5 eggs. Third pen; Egg production, no or milk, 36 eggs. « In comparing; the pens it was found that for every 100 pounds of meat scraps t>fre vis $24.22 cents return in eggs. Meat scraps were then $2.50 per 100. Now they are almost $4, but eggs an proportionately higher. They got milk for 30 cents per 100 pounds (buttermilk), and the return in eggs was $1.73-on 30 cents spent. Are you begrudging your hens the material needed to manufacture eggs? Then be sensible and sell your hens. It is penny wise and pound foolish to feed them nothing but grain and expect then to lay many eggs. Don’t, go to see a frfend and because she gets plenty of eggs think your sort of hens are not good and sell them. Yours may be as good as hers if yours had as good treatment and surround ings. 1 never advise any one to sell and get Rhode Island Reds. I believe ' that the Red is a number one all-pur pose fowl, but they have to be given ! egg-forming food, good quarters and plenty of sunshine, exercise and close ; attention to prove a good investment. My fourteen hens paid fifty-five'dollars in baby chicks and youngsters for breeding pens. The culls and 111-shaped eggs, and those we atb paid expenses, beside giving me a fine flock. I’ve four beautiful cockerels, too young to mate and a two-year-old cock that I shall sell to make room for some new 'blood to prevent inbreeding; but these sales will come in this year's inventory, just as five bushels of oats and as much corn must be charged to them. 1 did not tell you how to sprout oats because that’s an old story; but it oc curs" to me that two people in Tuscum bia asked me the question yesterday. Keep a tub with some oats in it, pour warm water over the oats and let set ■ twenty-four hours. Then put them in a box with plenty of drainage and set in the,dark, sprinkle the oats liberally every morning with warm water and stir them about so that they may not mould. After they sprout leave them twenty-four hours and then set in the I light, and they will soon be a mass of j roots and stems. Cut in inch squares and throw to the hens and see them en joy themselves. One inch is ample for a hen.t By putting some oats in the tub every day and having several flat j boxes to put them tn, you will soon make a regular thing of the green food. They must not get chilled, so keep I them in a warm place. But this is enough about chickens ‘ for this time. I hope it is needless for me to say that the prinking water needs permanganate of potash one or I two days every week and if your chick ens have colds dip their heads in a cup of water with the medicine in it and hold it under till bubbles come up, only the beak need be under the water, it must go up the nostrils or inject it with a medicine dropper.

HOW IT HAPEKED. “Well. John,” said Mrs. Brady, who was busily engaged in dressing a big juicy gobbler, as her husband entered the well arranged and neatly kept kitch en of the farm housfe with an armful of stove wood, “tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we want to have a good dinner and we want to invite Brother Thompson and Sister Georgiann over to help us eat turkey and join us in giving thanks for what the good laird has done for us in ! the past year. What is the matter I John? You look all troubled about some , thing; like you had been worrying toe I much.” “I have been worrying a mighty heaj here of late. Cy says lie will be needing ' what money I owe him soon and I don’’ . know where 1 am going to get it. lam not through paying off the mortgage yet, and then there is our store, account to pay. The cotton is about all sold and 1 don't know where all the money ;s coming from. It’s enough to run a mai John was now seated on the edge ot the wood box near the stove, staring straight in front of him. apparently al nothing. By this tiipe Mary had finished carving the last joint of the huge bird and placed the dish and its contents on the top shelf of the cupboard. Taking her seat near John she continued: “The good Lord lias prospered us this year as never before. Our crops hav< been bountiful and the prices good. Th< children are all well fed and clothed, ant all in school. Miss Janet told me yester day that they were all doing nicely in their work. Hunter is happy now that he has a new Sunday suit with long trousers, and his yoke of calves, which he bought- with his cotton patch. And Ruth and Amy are very much pleased with their new clothes and their chick ens. and the doll house which Hunter built for them. And. John, we can't expect so much in one year. We must be satisfied with what wc have and try to do just a little more next year. So many more things than we had a yeai ago. But. John, the most we have to be thankful for is the great change that has come into your life. How did it al! happen? I know I have been praying for you since the first time you came Home drunk. That was when Amy was a baby. Everything is so different now You never come home drunk any more. You work so hard now and stay at home at night. You go to cburch on Sunday and take 'such a great interest in home and the children. You are better to me. 1 feel like getting right down here on my knees and thanking God for all these good things. Tell me, John, how i’ all happened and what made you change so.” John Brady leaned forward and. taking his wife’s hands in his. began. He talk ed more eloquently and'more fluently than she had ever heard. While he talk ed the tears trickled down his manly cheeks. He told her the incident which occurred ‘on their front porch one year ago. How he had been an unobserved spectator at his own trial. He was charg ed and accused, among other things, with the offense of infidelity to his wife and children, failing to provide for them the necessaries of life, vagrancy, dispos ing of property which did not belong tc him. being a parasite upon his family, disloyalty and habitual intoxication. He was arraigned before the bar of justice, and tried, not in a juvenile court, which would have been so appropriate in his case, but before a juvenile tribunal com posed of three of his own children. H sat mute throughout the whole of th> trial, listening to his own flesh and blood charge and surcharge, prosecute and de fend, and finally convict and pass judg ment upon him. It had not been a sen ettionai trial, as judged by the standards of a court of law. But it was altogether lacking in its emotional effect, for when his twelve-year-old daughter, who hat’ assisted in his prosecution and convic tion. appealed to the others to suspend his entente and place him on probation it touched his hardened heart and caused his eyes to overflow for the first time in years. "Det us give father another chance. Let’s join hands and ask God to make him ashamed of the way n< treats mother and abuses us, and if he is not better at the end of next year, Bud can tell him to hike.” These were the words of his daughter the living picture oF that true and good wornsfn, who had been more than a wife to him, when she was Ruth’s age. These words have been constantly in my mind since that, eventful afternoon one year ago. And may God’ help me to live according to the terms of my probation. Warne, N. C. PEARL SWANSON. AFTER FITTEEN YEABS. Dear Miss ThoniaWt The piece I saw in regard to the three children and their thoughts about Thanksgiving day is much like my home has been foF fifteen years. My education is limited tfnd this is the first, time 1 ever tried to write for a paper, but the jiiece impressed me so, I thought I would give my views on the matter. My opinion is that he will never quit the dreadful habit. 1 have children, girls and boys, about grown, and we have prayed and plead for bet ter times, but to no avail. He will make fair promises, but they won’t last. We will get in good heart and lie will go up town and get with the old crowd and they will talk and plan and the temptation is too great to resist and he ccmes home and all our hopes are shat tered again. After fifteen years’ my hopes are all gone. The only hope for them is to shun bad company, which they won’t do. May the good Lord send a change on those little children’s father and may they have a happy Christmas, is my wish. MRS. HOPELESS. x Give a card shower Dear Mrs. Thomas; It seems as if too many of the House hold writers have deserted the ranks. I guess they* are like myself, always in tending to write and never doing so. I come in today to request you good people to give our doap “Invalid Girl” a letter and card shower. Her’s is such a pitiful case. Besides being a shut-in she has been almost blind for over a year and she has no way whatever to pass the time. I received a letter from her a few days ago wTiich she wrote with her eyes closed. A little slip enclosed from her sister informed me the dear girl wanted to be independent and do her own writing and begged to know if I could read it which 1 could witW iiteie efforts She is a tine girl and before her eyes became effected she did beautiful fancy work and managed to pass tne time pleasantly but she is deprived of even that pleasure now. Her address is Miss Harlow Meadow, Colbert R. F. D. 2, Ga. Please send her a little cheer Enclose a stamp if you wish a reply. She has a, home und loved ones to care for her. sc she reeds no financial help, tut stamps wib come in handy What has become of Marion Stevens? Wish she would come back again, and tell us of California. Darlina Bell, your letter was fine. You talk like one who has been there.

He says freezone is an ether com pound which dries immediately and nevbr inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissues or skin.

No. 45 —A Clash ♦e♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Lies are so read they cast ♦ ♦ shadows the light is behind ♦- -♦ them. ♦ HOW June White came to see me quite often. Almost I liked him l>etter than Howard, the youth who had introduced him to me. Had I been oldeg and wiser I do not think my admiration for June would have been so great. He was much flashier 'than his friend. He had a quick, shrewd air and a rather domineering way which passed with me for knowledge and will power. Also, probably because his re spect for me was not nearly so deep as Howard’s he ordered me about, kissed me without asking my permission, and gave me innumerable small gifts of silk stockings, gloves, candies and silver trifles for my dresser. I was still far too grasping by nature not to judge a man more by his gifts than by his true personal worth. And another sign that pointed to the kind of young people that June and I were is that we did not either of us tell Howard how often we were see ing each other. We tactily agreed that it would be inexpedient. I don’t know •exactly what course June follorwed in this; whether he merely • did not men tion my name to Howard or by impli cation made him think he did not see me. But I know very well what I did— I lied deliberately. Often when June had asked me to dine with him or go to the theater I told Howard “I had a headache;” I could not go out or jpy mother ij-as ill and I would have to stay with her. I do not think Howard sus pected for an instant that June had seen me more than once or twice since the birthday party. Then the crash came. June and I had been .to a dansant, where we had stayed later than we had intended. I had accepted an invita tion to dine with Howard. I told June laughingly as we went home that he could not linger or he would meet his friend on my doorstep. He shuddered comically and said with a laugh that it would then be “coffee and pistols for two.” However, instead of obeying my sug gestion, when we got in the house June did stride into the hall in a manner which I thought masterful. We stayed just inside the door talking in under tones lest my mother should come out to join us. Already the early dark ness had fallen upon the street and the light in the hall was lit. "Well, I must go, Di,” said June easily. “I don’t want to run into old Howard, you know.” Then with a gesture I knew, he circled me close with one arm, raised my face with his hand and kissed me on the lips. Just then the door bell rang. “Goodness!” I cried, starting from June’s embrace, “that’s Howard, sure as Fate!” I think the color left June's lipe a little, but he tried to swagger. ( “Well, what of it?” he asked. "Oh, you don’t want anything horried to happen! Please run upstairs. You can just go up there until he’s in the sitting room, then you can go out!” Perhaps it was my urgent “don't!” perhaps it was because innately June was not quite the conquering hero he would have liked me to believe him to be. At any rate he turned on his heel and ran up the stairs. Then I opened the door. I opened it to face a very white, straight Howard, who spoke al most huskily. ”1 came to take you to dinner. Di,” he said. “I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help seeing your reflection on the front door. I guess I'm butting in!” And then with an effort he raised his i hat. “Good night,” he said, and turned away. MOTHER! THE CHILD IS COSTIVE, BILIOUS If tongue is coated, breath bad, stomach sour, don’t hesitate! Give “California Syrup of Figs” at once—a teaspoonful today often saves a sick child tomorrow.

I think no one who knew Howard Boyd could help liking him. That I had really hurt him I did not doubt. His eyes, as he raised his glance to mine, had held real pain. I would have felt better had he reproached me. A silence which I felt held something of contempt was hard for me to bear; and perhaps the* most difficultything I had to do was to hide my chagrin over the encounter from June, who awaited me upstairs. I had never told Howard of June’s at tentions to me? Indeed, I had often lied to Howard, explaining that I had been home with a headache or that I had been dining alone with my mother when, as a matter of fact, I had been to some party or other with June, Who was sup posed to be Howard’s best friend. Now my perfidy had been brought home to Howard in one fell blow. “Gee!” I heard June whisper from the stairway, “what happened to the old boy? Did he see anything?” I closed the front door slowly and turned to face the partner of my guilt. “Yes,” I said, “Howard saw you kiss me and now he’s mad. I don’t think he’ll come back.” And then with a cer tain amount of anger growing in my voice—“lt’s all right for you—he couldn’t make out from our shadow who you were, but he’s mad at me, all right!” June’s face took on a relieved expres sion. “Oh, he didn’t know it was I,” he said qujte cheerfully. "Oh, then that’s all right! What’s the diff, Di? You can’t keep us all on a string, you know. Old Howard had to be thrown overboard sooner or later; maybe it will be less painful sooner.” He drew me closer to him. ”So now that’s settled, Di,” he re marked. “That makes you my girl, doesn’t it? Well, I guess as long as Howard’s gone, we might as well go ahead to dinner, eh? Come on, let’s for ge! our troubles.” What was I to do? Gayety 'of some kind, 1 told myself, I must have. Cer tainly I preferred to be with Howard rather than with June, but Howard was gone, perhaps gone forever. If you can not get what yout like you must like what you get. With an effort 1 kept the tears out of my eyes’, and then: “All right,” 1 said to June, “Give me two shakes to wash up and I’m with you.” How could he know that as I dressed I had to swallow the sobs in my throat? Perhaps I scarcely knew myself how big a price I was paying for this gpyety I so coveted: for one thing that crushes the soul out of a girl is to make herself accept the attentions of some man she really does not like for the sake of his gifts. Although I am sure at dinner that night June could have had no way of guessing how the thought of Howard haunted me, it may be that it was be cause of his own guilty conscience that June had n jver laughed more nor treat ed me more gayly. And if I seemed to appreciate his jokes beyond their de serving, I wonder if he guessed it wa’s because I had to laugh loudly to keep back the tears. Not until the end ol dinner, however, did June broach the subject of our mutual nervousness. A small, sliver-plaited chain purse of mine was lying beside me on the table. June reached across and absent-minded ly took it from its place and played with it Its lightness seemed to him cause for mirth. At last, in spite of my» protests, he unclasped it and began to examine its contents; a buttonhook, three hairpins, a powder puff, a lip stick, two 10-cent pieces and a nickel tumbled on the table cloth before him. “Riches!” laughed June. “What are you going to do with all this, Miss Van derbilt?” I fltlshed uncomfortably. “Please!” I protested, "won t you put my things back?” June looked up at me suddenly. In a flash he realized that I was genuinely uncomfortable, that probably, although it was hard for him to realize because of his own affluent circumstances, this was all the money I had in the world. “Oh. I say, Di!” he exclaimed, “I didn’t mean to tease you, reaJly.” ■ With a quick gesture' he took one hand from his pocket and thrust a little roll of bills into my purse. “There,” he said, “that will make the old thing fatter, won’t it?” Some memory of Howard made me want to protest. For the first time I really did not want to take money. “I don’t want it,” I said. "I don’t want it, June. Please give me my purse back again.” He shut the little silver trinket on its roll of bills decisively. “Don’t be silly, Di,” he said, “you’ve got to have money, haven’t you?” And his young face flushed: “If you’re my girl you’ve got to take it from me.’’« "No! No!” I said again. June’s glance, wide and dark, was fixed on my face. “You are my girl; aren't you?” he protested. What was I to say? “Yes,” I answered beneath my breath Reply of the Entente To Note From Wilson Finished, London Says (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Jan. 10.—The reply of the entente powers to President Wilson’s note asking the belligerents to state their aims has now received the approval of all the entente governments and its de livery is about to be made at Paris. Publication, however, will be deferred until forty-eight hours after it has been received by the American government. The delays in sending the reply were due to changes suggested by the entente powers, but these were largely changes in pharseology and not affecting the es sential features as first drafted. The reply contains approximately 1,200 to 1,500 words. Its statement concerning the terms of the entente powers are more specific than were made in previous communications or official utterances but they are still general and guarded in character. Allies’ Reply to Wilson Sensational, Is Report (.By Associated Press.) PARIS, Jan. 10. —Marcel Hutin, a well known journalist, is authority for the report that the reply of the entente to President Wilson’s peace note will be “ultra sensational” and that its de livery to the president is imminent. He asserts the note will be made pub lic as soon as President Wilson has had opportunity to examine iL A Buggy for Hard Service For good old every day hard work, for knock-about service for the whole family, you need a bug • gy of the toughest hickory—a buggy that will stand up and stand up all the time.
