Sunday School Lesson By Dr. Marion McH. Hull When Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiakim captive in the third year of his reign, he hlmaeef was still co-regent with hie father. He dig not reign alone until the next year—the fourth year of Jeho • laklm. (Jeremiah. 25:1). He bound Jeho iakim with the intention of taking him to Babylon, but changed his mind, and took the vessels of the Lord's house in stead and placed them in the temple ot his god in the land of Shinar. I ncon sciously he was fulfilling the words of Isaiah to Hezekiah spoken nearly a hundred years before. H* carried with him. though, some of the sons of royalty and nobility, among whom were Daniel. Hananiah. Mishael and Azariah. Daniel was in all propability a grandson of the good King Josiah and a nephew of Jeho jak.'-r.. It is also entirely possible that his three friends were blood relations. Having deported them. Nebuchadnez zar s mi, move was to denationalize •-hem. It was but part of an effort to embue them with the spirit of Bab yion that as denationalized Jews they could be used to govern their own peo ple in a better capacity. So Nebuchad nezzar gave orders that a certain num ber of the princes and nobles who were good looking, well educated and apt to learn should be selected and trained in the language and learning of the Chal deans. and further ordered that they should be given all that was necessary to keep them in the best of condition and finish the job in three years. OgPOBTEO AND DENATIONALIZED. The names ot tbe«e four prince* were ob rilous to »be king, however. Each one re f.rr-i to tb. Mod of Israel. I*"** l . •God is my jedge." Michael meant Who i» like unto Go' Uauaniab and uwd tbe great name "Jah —The eternal, self existing Jehovah—and meant reapeetlvely "whom God hath favared," and "Jehovah te my hel P*2. »t would never do to l-t them keep these names which were constant reminders of their ,—4 and their nation, so he changed them to names with meaning* just as near to the others ne could. but wblch reminded them of bn mis B<-i and Sna-k and Nebo. Thus U came oct that their new were Belteabaaiar. Shadrack. Meeback ard Abednego. Theo, yrntbs were only fourteen years old and Not>- iicbadneaaar was ante that he • had sized the b-is»ne*s now. so that In a few years they would be so conforme.l to the land and teng-tage ansi lea-nlng of Babylon they would become Baby hnian* Indeed and forget entirely whence they had come. FIRM AND FAFTHFI L. Now Daniel was a young man. but he had made a wise choice before he ever left Palestine —be had given himself wholly to God. He was no India* giver either; it was for good and aIL So when the table was spread be had to make another choice—between right and wrong; be tween what would tickle hi* palate and what would please bis Lord; between the thing that evervone else was doing and the thing that w.iiid subject him to r idle ale and to being called pe-uliar It was not hard, for "Dan iel purposed in his heart that be would not defile himself with the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank." Xow let ua understand Daniel thoroughly. There has been so much temperance" teach iag real into rhe scriptures that sometimes, res often, we miss the real truth. No one can be more ia favor of temperance—yes. total ab stinence —than the writer, but he has no sym pathy with that kind which perverts the true meaning of the scriptures to enforce * de sired teaching What we want is what the ’ scripture* teach not what we want them to teseh. Vnlees Daniel had taken the Nazarite row. be. as a Jew bad no compostetion about taking wine as a drink, for it was a common custom in those days. But what be purposed was that be. as a Jew. given to God. would not defile himself by eating meats and drink ing portions of wine that hsdwbeen dedicated to heathen gods. He could not help being de ported; nor could he help the change of name that had been given him for denaturalisation; but he could and would prevent bls defilement; and be had made up his mind fnlly that no matter what the cost, he would keep himself clean, bo would do the right thing, he would ’stand aqusrely on the side of God and against • the seethes idols. He was wonderfully taetfnl. He would not accomplish his purpose by flatly refusing to do what he was hidden. Hr "requested” the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. He wasn’t ashamed to take a stand for God and against the heathen gods, and tell SfiC %XHAY PRESb v Sold direct ts you vlx Fewer* all over trials an 1 U>rou«h wt lhe West are r.« th * Pm- They eay thia te th* ■"* two-tewrae Hey Pmvaever made.

Now Daniel bad made a big hit with Asplie ' nas. He was a good looking. clean, straight forward. likely lad. God had brought him in contact with the prince and bad ejisblod Ashpenaz to appreciate his goal qnsixifes. A*h|H-uaz won Id bare gone out of bls way to do something for this likeable boy; but be liked blmselt better. So he said. Danny, my boy. I'd like to do anything that yon ask; but I like my own bead better. You wouldn't want me to risk my pate, would you? If the king should find out that 1 had disobeyed order he would take off my block in three shakes of a sheep's tail. But Daniel bad “Purposed”—no he didn't give np. He went to Mebtar, the head stew ard. just above him. and repeated hi* request. Give us a chance, he said. Try an experi ment for ten days. Just give me and my friends here Boston baked bean* and Adam's ale and are the result. If yotFrc from Mi* court. then we’ll show you. Then you can d* ride what you're going to do later on. Now that was a bob! move on the boy's part. Ten days ia too short a time to tell tbe difference between two different dieteriea. Hut Daniel was sure that the difference wouK be in marked contrast, for be was depending "o' on tbe diet but on the Diety. His wa faith that is tbe giving substance for things booed for. tbe evidence of things not see* He knew that the God to whom they bad given tbeir ail would make fat and flesh out of tbe beans and water for them faster than meat and wine dedicated to Idols could do with out God. Daniels attitude was, lot God and ■e' go. Hi* duty was to stand squarely fc God; it was God's job to make them look ' better on beans. if He willed otherwise, it I was all right. flemi, favor and fortune. Melzar was a good sport; be was willing to try the experiment, and so it began. Now, don't you fail to believe that Daniel and the • dher boy* failed tp do their part. Faith shows itself by works. Can't you see those tour lads getting on tbe outside of dish after dish of brans and potatoes and squash and 1 carrots and turnips—and all the other vege tables that grew in tbe Babylonian gardens. Melzar never saw such appetites, healthy appe tite without gormandising! And when the IS' | dry* were up they pulled down the scales mon than any other four In tbe bunch. Tbeir cheek* were ruddier, skin clearer, eyes brigtit ; er, minds clearer and muscles stronger than any of the others—because God had honored I tbeir faith and works, aud added His bless i tug. Uelsar was a wise man —he kept up the good wxrk during tbe whole training camp; and when the examination* were belli Daniel and bis friends were the honor men of the class. Nebuchadnezzar was mighty well pleased with them, and appointed them to attend him per sonally. Nor could he put a teat to them that they didn't measure up to ten time* better than anyone else at the court. Clean living, holy living, standing squarely for God no mat ter whether they were considered jieculiar or rit —bad eventuated in splendid bodies and clear thinking. And it always will. CONFORMED AND TRANSFORMED. This personal Incident in the early life of this man suggests to us that God is calling u* to a life of separation from the world. Tbe ■world in constantly trying to effect our dena tionalization—to make ua conform to its cue toms and to forget God. This wa* Nebucbad mesa's aim. Os course It is tbe easy way to be like other boys an<l girls, to do what others are doing— but because it is easy Is no reason for doing it. God calls ua the other way; and taking tbe hard way requires exercise and skill and per sistence and courage—makes Iron in tbe blood and drives out tbe yellow streak. If you give yourself to God wholly aud for all. as Daniel did. and determine to be true to Him. whatever the cost. He will give you favor, faith, fairness of flesh and mind, and fortune. That’*_ what be gave Daniel when : Daniel gave himslf. It wa* a good trade for 1 Dai iel, was it not? "Therefore. I beseech you. brethren, by tbe merellea of God that ye present your bodies a living sacriflct. holy, acceptable to God; ' for this is a service He has a right to expect. And that you ba not conformed to this world bnt be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the perfect ■ and acceptable will of God. Carroll County Men Organize Company to Buy Farm Products A delegation called at the state mar ket bureau morning and gave notice of the organization of "The Bullard company,” with a $20,000 paid in capital stock held by sixty-eight Car -01l county farmers, and with William Bullard, as president and general man ager. The company will erect a large ware house to buy all farm products at pre vailing market prices; assemble them in carload lots to offer to the general trade. The company seeks the close co operation of the state market bureau. The Weaver-Birdsong company, which has erected a SIO,OOO feed mill in Thom aston. Upson county, and will erect a large warehouse for handling farm produce at market prices, sent repre sentatives on a similar mission. Refiners Place Control Os the Sugar Industry In Hands of Government WASHINGTON, Sept. s.—Control of the sugar Industry in the United States was placed voluntarily In the hands of the food administrator* today by re finers' representatives, who agreed to import all raw sugar through a com mittee to be named by Herbert Hoover. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. 1017. AGRICULTURAL s ®! Education a® Successful $ A NDREW M- Soull This department will eiieurfully endeavor to furnlsn any information. Letters should be addressed to Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president State Agri cultural College. Atheus, Ga. A CALL FOR MEN. Men Wanted! What shall we do about it? There never was a time in the history of the world when this ques tion was more important or likely to affect more seriously the immediate fu ture and welfare of individuals and nations. The importance of capable leadership has been demonstrated a thousand times over by the war now going on in Europe. May we not, there fore,* inquire If we have the needed lead ers in the United States and the south to promote and develop our agriculture along lines which will enable us to meet our national needs for an adequate supply of raw materials and an abund ance of cheap food for the sustenance of our people, not only at the present moment, but during the next century? The tendency for our crops to decrease, the shortage In the number of our farm animals, the destruction of our forest areas without their replacement, the careless and indifferent cultivation of the land whereby Its fertility has been steadily reduced for the last one hun dred vears do not lead to the conclu sion that we are well supplied with a . uff’cient number of properly trained and educated leaders to convert the mass of our people from the error of their ways and lead them into paths which will enable us to recoup our selves from the disastrous losses which the mismanagement and waste of our natural resources has entailed upon us as a nation. As a matter of fact, there never was a time In tee history of this nation or the world at large when capable agri cultural l-jzc'ers were so much in de mand ani so sorely needed as at pres ent. Men rre wanted to redirect and guide <?very phase of our agriculture. There is a call, for instance, for men of some maturity and with expert train ing along agricultural lines to act In the -capacity of county agricultural agents. There is not a state in which the demand for men of this class Is not in excess of the supply. The bene fits which should accrue to our agri culture through the services of the county agent will not be realized until i much larger number of men of the type mentioned devote their attention to preparing themselves for service work if this character. There never was a time when experts were more in demand Research of the most va ried and complicated character is es sential to supply the needs of Industry economically and to teach our people how not cnly to produce raw mate rial to advantage, but to live well and yet at a reasonable cost. This field is undermanned today and likely to re main so for many years to come. Every week blanks are sent out by the civil service depaitment of the United States government which is seekipg to supply the civil lists with specialists of va rious‘kinds. At practically all seasons of the year every one of these great departments is endeavoring to find ca pable specialists in order that they may discharge in a satisfactory manner the duties which congress has Imposed upon them Experiment stations are not supplied with a sufficient ntftnber of investi gators. Agricultural teachers are need ed in our district agricultural schools; manufacturers of fertilizers, seed mer chants, producers of agricultural Im plements of every class and character, railroads and other public service or ganizations are seeking trained agricul tural experts to aid and advance the interests which they represent. South ern farmers who desire the service of a veterinarian often have to send 75 to 100 miles to secure one, and By the time he arrives the sick animals Sre probably beyond all help. Surely, it is astonishing that a state like Georgia, for instance, should suffer anntfal prevent able losses to its live stock of between five and ten million dollars, and yet should have within her borders not more than fifty-four licensed veterina rians. Here is a field which offers the greatest opportunity to the young man and which will probablj’ not be over supplied in many years to come. With out the aid of competent veterinarians our live stock interests cannot be prop erly safeguarded nor the advance es sential to ouV agricultural welfare made along this line. The same Is true when we come to a consideration of our for ests. We have destroyed the virgin tim ber and left the land to wash away or else It stands Idle and unproduc tive for the reason that men trained in a knowledge of forestry are lacking to take charge of these areas and replant and establish them on a practical and yet thoroughly scientific basis and which*in the end would make these lit tle better than waste areas as they stand among the most productive and profitable of all our agricultural lands Then there Is a demand for men to take part In public service work who have enjoyed the broad and compre hensive training which the agricultural college provides. The rural school Is much criticised for its failure to serve the needs of its community. How can It be righted except by those whose training shows them where Its defects He? In order that the interests of the landowner and the farmer may be prop erly served, a certain representation of trained agriculturalists should be present in our legislature, and Indeed it would not be an unseemly thing should a farmer governor. United States senator or even president be selected from among the trained experts who have studied our agricultural problems in a broad and systematic way and are familiar with the needs of those who Hve out In the open country and upon Whose activities the prosperity of the state and the nation as a whole rests. These acts are cited that we may more generally realize how thoroughly we need leadership along sericultural lines and tor the purpose of calling the attention of the youth of the state and the south to the unexampled opportuni ty which training in our state col- Ir-gea of agriculture opens up to them. In Georgia, for Instance, t young man can not find an Institution that will fit h'm better for his life work than the State College of Agriculture, and no where can he be trained for citizenship at a more reasonable cost. Young men who desire to fit themselves for agri cultural leadership may specialize In euch an institution along a number of lines Tr this day and age it is im portant to remember that one must be superior to his fellows in the accom plishment of certain things if he hopes to win the largest measure of success. The term “agriculture" embraces a wide field of activities, and therefore, one can afford to specialize in agron omy, wh’eh pertains to the study of crops, soil fertility and farm manage ment, or in animal husbandry, which embraces a study and consideration of the live stock industry from every point of view. The horticulturist would naturally specialize in orcharding, trucking and landscape gardening, and agricultural engineers in farm mach inery, sanitation, surveying, drainage, designing buildings and irrigation. Tbe student who is specially interested In animal diseases would specialize in veterinary medicine, preparing himself thereby not only to treat our ever-in creasing number of farm animals, but how to use serums for the prevention of d-sease as has been so successfully done for example, in the case of hog eholi ra. Those who love trees tpid out of-door life would study forestry. Nat urally, men taking an agricultural course must study all the sciences re lated to the various subjects which they take up. and in order to enjoy what we may ,properly term a liberal education, they ’ must have a thoroughly good knowledge of English, of foreign lan guages, commerce, economics, and such fundamental subjects as chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Parents need not fear, therefore, that their boys will not receive the essential basic train ing and a highly specialized fundamen tal Instruction which will fit them for leadership along the various lines indi cated In this paper. A golden opportunity awaits the young men of Georgia who by preparing them selves for leadership along agricultur al lines are in position to aid in direct ing the affairs of the state along safe, sane and economic lines. It is clear that our agriculture must be reformed, that our farm practice must ne cnang ea, that <e must Institute scientific methods which call for the employment of a large amount of farm machinery, thereby minimizing human labor and adding to the efficiency of the culti vation of the land. . This can not be done in a day or In a year. It is a life-long task. It is one of the fields in which the greatest amount of human welfare work can be accomplished. Could any line of activity offer great er possibilities or finer inducements to the young men of the south? • • • FEEDING ANIMALS BY RULE AND NOT BY’ GUESS. J. C., Austell. Ga., writes; I have re cently bought Buttercup feed, consisting of wheat, cotton seed meal and rice; mill feed consisting of wheat, corn and rice, and vel vet bean meal. I want to know the best way to feed these foodstuffs. I have horses, mules, cows and hogs to feed, and it is goes work with me to know just how much to feed them. I want to feed enough, but do not want tt> waste any of it. Velvet beans ground without the hulls will probably analyze approximately the same as the material you purchased un der the name of velvet bean meal. The Buttercup Cow Feed and the mill feed are made up from various materials as the tags indicate. They run consider ably higher in fat than wheat bran, but contain somew 'at near the same amount of rroicn No doubt in making them up the iGfa is kept in mind to have them relate in their general composition some what to wheat bran, as this is the basis on which many mill feeds are made up. If we had* these materials in hand we would m.x ihi- buttercup feed and the velvet b*an teed in equal proportions and feed to me horses, mules and cows. For horses a.id mules weighing 1,000 poui'ds we would use -rjbout 14 pounds ot’ this mixture a Cay in two equal feeds night and morning. For a cow weighing 1,000 pounds, 8 to 10 pounds ought to be an abundance of desirable roughage, all in fact the animal will eat up clean, along with the quantities of meal in dicated, and what you will proportion the ration according to the size, age and condition of your stock. The velvet bean feed and mill feed might, be mixed in equal proportions and fed to hogs. We would reduce this material to the form of a relatively thin slop with skim milk if it is avail able, or if not. with water. Skim milk, of course, is much to be preferred. In feeding hogs you should see that they have an abundance of the ration in question, but do not allow (hem to over eat. Regularity in feeding, keeping the stalls in a sanitary condition, and sup plying an abundance of water are all important matters. It is generally best to feed the grain ration to horses, mules, cows and hogs night and morning, and in the middle of the day provide some long fodder which they can pick over. No doubt you have proviided a range for your hogs which will enable them to gather up considerable food through the course of the day. If not, you can divide the grain ration assigned them into three equal parts. , • • • REMOVING AN INJURED HORN. H. G. S., Dalton, Ge., writes: I bav£ a cow about six years old. She was de horned when young and the left one was left about an inch and a half long. It began growing last year and is a great big stub by thing now four or five inches thick. She rubs it on bushes and fences. What '■ would you advise me to do with the horn? She has gone almost dry, bnt will not be dry before January or February. She I* on good Bermuda pasture. What can 1 do- for her ? Il is possible that some Infection may have gotten in around the base of the horn and that this is causing your cow some considerable annoyance and might even b 4 the source of a serious Infection. We would advise that the swelling be examined very carefully. There is no reason why the horn about which you write should not be sawed off. You would, of course, have to fasten the cow very securely In a stanchion that would hold her tight and then with a short saw remove the horn near ihe head. Some disinfectant might be used to advantage. Certainly something should be used to prevent the horn core H GIRLS! MAKE A | :: BEAUTY LOTION | i; WITH LEMONS I t : At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare a full quar ter pint of the most wonderful lemon akin softener and complexion beautifler, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lem ons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lo tion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is .the ideal skin softener, srpoothener and beautifler. Just try it. Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, freshen and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is truly marvel ous to smoothen rough, red hands. (Advt.) Our Household FOR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY. "A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot! Rose plot. Fringed pool, tr Ferned grot, The veriest school of peace, and yet the tool contends that God Is not — Not God, in gardens, when the eve is cool? Nay, but I have a sign; ’Tis very sure God walks in mine.” How is your garden? Have you let lhe weeds take it, have you any plans or plants for the winter garden? Last year The Farmer took s roll of poultry wire and cut off enough for turnips and spinach and the balance was planted in wheat. That made plenty of greens for us and others and the wheat was fine for the chickens. This spring he left half the wheat and made a garden out of the other, and now he is planning to carry out the same plans we had last year, only this time the Irish potatoes and beets will be in the garden. But even then there will be rye or wheat in moe than half. We started with Arbruzzi rye and find it a paying proposition, it furnishes plenty of green stuff and yields better. Have you filled your jars and are there tomatoes left? I'll tell you what I am doing now. I peel and slice the tomatoes and put them on to cook Just as if I wanted them for dinner, then when done I get the seeds out of half of them, season and mix all of them and put them away In bottles. This winter a quart of milk, some butter or good gravy and a pint of tomato pulp will make a quick soup. Have you made plenty of catsup, have you not? Here Is a tomato pulp that Is fine: Pour hot water over your tomatoes, let them be thoroughly ripe. Peel, cut out the cores, slice and put on to cook. Aft er thirty minutes’ boiling y,ou can run them through a colender, or coarse sieve and get out the seeds and reduce the tomato meat to a pulp. To each quart put in two slices of onion, four tablespoonfuls of chopped sweet pepper pulp (red) or one teaspoonful of papri ka, a half teaspoonful of salt, one of sugar and In a bag put a tablespoonful of mixed spices. Put the pulp and spices in a pan and cook over a pan of boiling water about three hours, or un til you can cut it with a knife. Put in Jelly tumbler and cover with melted paraffin, or in jars and seal. Have you hung your tag in your win dow? Let us show the world that the southern woman can be economical and thrifty when she sees the necessity. There was a time when a “loaded table,” when the food could not be missed after a hearty meal, was a sign of free hearted hospitality. Such is not. the case now. Have your friends eat with you, have plenty for all, but when the meal is over, don’t have to feed the chickens on the left-overs or be com pelled to eat it for days afterward. Chicken feed may be bought much cheaper than good things made 6f lard at twenty-seven cents a pound, sugar at half as much and flour ditto. To waste is now considered an evidence of a lack of good judgment. Even if one is rich enough for it, there are better uses for the money or the ingredients. Here Is the pledge that I want you to copy and send to the Food Admin istration. Washington, D. C.: “I 'am glad to Join you in the serv ice of food conservation in the United from becoming infected. ’ It is not a very painful operation and not difficult to perform when the cow is securely fastened. The falling off of the milk is prob ably due to an*inherited quality rather than to any other cause. The cow should be fed and watered abundantly and milked regularly. Irregularity in milk ing will cause them to fall off a-s quick ly as anything else with which I am acquainted. On the other hand, there are a good many cows which give a good quantity of milk for st long time. When cows of this type are discovered and proven to be poor milkers the best thing is to dispose of them and get better cows that come from a race of antecedents characterized by their milk. • • • WHEN AND AOW TO USE GROUND LIME ROCK. J. R. P.. Adairsville, Gs., writes: I wish your advice about using Ladco. To what soil la it best suited and to what crops is it most beneficial? The material to which you refer is nothing more nor less than ground lime rock sold under a trade name. Most Georgia soils are deficient in lime, there fore it can often be applied to the land with advantage. It should be used pri marily under leguminous crops. As a rule, at least a ton per acre should be scattered broadcast over the surface of th.? ground. It should be applied after the land has been broken, but a few days before planting. It is better to harrow it into the surface of the soil. It may be distributed from a wagon bed or by a lime distributor. It is not neces sary, as a rule, to lime the land oftener than once In-three years. When alfalfa is planted several ions should be used, but when ordinary legumes are used, such as cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans and peanuts, a ton per acre would be a sufficient amount to apply. This material about which you inquire is a very good grade of ground lime rock. THE PLANT FOOD VALUE OF CYAN AMID. J. P. S., ('ummlng, Ga., writes: Please tel! me what cynanjW is? Wbnt is its qlnnt food value as a source of nitrigen? Calcium cyanamid is an artificial nitrogenous compound. In other words, it is known as one of the new nitro genous fertilizers. It is, of course, made Indirectly from the atmosphere. It is made by utilizing calcium carbide, which can be produced very cheaply wherever large quantities of electrical power may be made at a reasonable cost. At moderate temperatures the calcium carbide combines with atmospheric nitrogen, thereby forming what is known commercially as calcium cyan amid. This compound contains about 18 per cent of nitrogen. It is a concen trated nitrogenous manure. It decom poses quickly in moist soils, the nitro gen being converted into ammonia. Quick lime is also formed. For this reason it is valuable for Us® on heavy soils or those which are acid. Yoq will observe that it contains more nitrogen than nitrate of soda and very nearly as much as sulphate of ammonia. In using it it is Important to remember that it should not come directly into contact with the germinating seed, as it is likely to injure them for obvious rea sons. It rnay be applied before crops are planted, or it can be mixed with superphosphates without loss of nitro gen. It is readily available, and while not extensively Used at present, it is likely tc become an increasingly impor tant source of nitrogen in the not dis tant future.

Do you imag ine that this nation would pay men or creatures that call themselves men, to go over the country and give away courtplaster that is filled with germs that cause lockjaw—stuff that they put in wells and cause typhoid fever, or go among a bunch of hogs and feed them cholera germs? Yet that sort of work is done here by German agents. They have been caught with the goods. How would you like to have a little fellow come In with a cut or a boll or a | wound of any sort and you put a piece of “sticking plaster” over it, and see that little fellow take lockjaw?

WHJLT LIUUOB CAN DOI Some years ago, when automobiles I were not so common, a man who had been paid off, with more than a thou- j sand dollars in hand, concluded he ' might have one. but as he had quite a family to support—two daughters and two sons, besides his wife, he did not purchase an auto until he got full of liquor. Then be decided he must hire a chauffeur, and to make the chauf feur feel good. he tendered enough whisky to make the man half drunk. Then he decided to go on a trip, and made two of his younger children get In the car, and to try to make a day of it. Inside of twelve miles the half drunk chauffeur struck something that made the brand new car turn turtle. Under the car lay the owner and the yofinger daughter, the former seriously hurt, and the latter bruised and scarred. By three o’clock p. m., the wife had a telegram and a hurry call, and she made a trip in another car, hired for the occasion. Two of her neigh Bors accompanied the terrified woman to the scene of the disaster. By nine p. m., the owner again lay on his own bed, two doctors over him, | and the new car was in the repair shop, | and the young daughter’s wounds were I dressed and the day’s work was finish-1 ed! All that I here relate took place I between nine a. m. to nine p. m., be ginning with the cash purchase of the) car and finally ending in a long, te-1 dious spell of illness for the husband j and father, and enough mental aberra-1 tion to rob him of his job, and with a good-sized doctor bill added. John Barleycorn works in a hurry, in the most of his undertakings. It was the liquor that started the trouble and it was a mercy that every one in the car was not killed in the catastro phe. John Barleycorn took heavy toll In all the exploits of the day. The good wife and mother was as absolutely helpless to prevent the money waste as she was to prevent that ill-fated joy ride. The car was soon sold, and the money disappeared. Liquor can put in a busy day’s work, if _the start is ac cording to his methods. - -2d Capacity Guaranteed TELL the dealer you want a wagon that the manufacturer will guarantee to carry your biggest load.
