To be sure, both departments have worked with that end in view all along, but instead of working together and coordinating their efforts, each has pursued its course independently of the other. ~ ’ * All of this now is to be displaced by a spirit of helpfulness and cooperation, for in a public declaration by Agricultural Com missioner J. J. Brown in an address at the Agricultural College Tuesday he said: “I pledge you, Dr. Soule, my best (efforts to ward getting the State Legislature to provide sufficient money lor her State Agricultural College. Furthermore, I am here to offer you my heart and hand in token of full cooperation with your institution.” Mr. Brown praised the" work that Dr. Soule and the Agricultural College have done and are doing for the farmer of Georgia, and emphasized the fact that nothing is more important at this time than putting forth every effort at our dis posal, looking to a solution of cur agricultural and marketing problems. To which Dr. Soule responded in fine spirit, welcoming the proffered cooperation and assuring Commissioner Brown that the Department of Agriculture would also have the whole hearted support of the State College of Agriculture in working for better agriculture in Georgia. All of which provides occasion for most sincere felicitations to the fanners and business men of Georgia, for with two suclr virile forces as the State Department of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture pulling together for the good of the farmer and the improvement of agriculture, it is patent that great bene- fjgj fit will folloyri THE GAS COMPANY’S APPEAL The earnest appeal of Manager Weston of the local Gas Company htat gas consumers curtail as much as possible their use of this particular fuel should be heeded. As stated in an advertisement elsewhere in this issne of the paper, the company’s reserve supply of gas has become exhausted and, with a bursted machine that cannot be repaired until parts can reach here from a distant city, the gas plant trill not be able, from now on to produce a sufficient amount of their product to meet the demands of those who are solely dependent upon it for cooking and other essential purposes, unless all consumers co operate by curtailing as much as possible the amount they use. It is believed that by reasonable conservation on the part of all consumers, pressure will be adequate and the supply ample for all absolutely necessary purposes, but if there is waste, all will suffer. So, .if you have a coal range in your house, use it during 'this critical situation in preference to gas, and if you will discon tinue your gas heater during this situation, you will make it pos sible for others to cook, who would otherwise have no means of priiparing their meals.

It is, of course, much pleas anter if one is naturally fear less, and I envy and respect the men who are naturally fearless. But it is a good thing to re member that the man who does not enjoy this advantage can nevertheless stand beside the man who does, and can do his duty with like efficiency if he chooses.—Theodore Roosevelt.

(Copyright, 1923, Service) THE BLACK GHOST A startling ghost Btory is creating a sensation in England. Lbrd St. Audries claims he saw the ghost. English scientists are taking his claim seriously, for he is a man of high standing. His father was “chief whip” of the Conservative party, also vice- chamberlain to Queen Vivtdria and King Edward. Lord St. Au- dries encountered his “black ghost” in the traditional theatrical atmosphere. He didn’t believe in ghosts. But he was curious. So, o(i a week-end visit, he and his hosts ' decided to investigate a nearby haunted house. This.haunted house was a deserted dwel ling, crumbling, to decay, littered with fallen plaster and other rubbish. The ghost’s headquarters were supposed to be in a sec ond-floor Mthrbom where, some do years ago, an insane doctor air atrocious murder and later committed suicide Lord St. Audries mounted guard in the upstairs hall in sight of the bathroom door. He'had a candle for light. His friends re mained outside (Most of us would.) Here is Lord St. Audries’ re port of what happened: . . “Out of the door, down the dark passage, something rushed like an immense hat towards me. It Was black from head to foot and it Seemed to be built in the form of a very powerful man. But two things made me know that it was no human be ing. First I jould see no' face, just a hideous blank. Secondly, though it came with huge leaps over the rough, rickety floor, it made absolutely no noise. "But when this thing dashed qqt I was struck backward with an irresistible force * * * I found myself fighting, struggling With I know not what, down the steep stairs.” Having escaped, Lord St. Audries learns that no dog can be booxed into the garden around the haunted house. This is the most significant part of his story. Neurologists, specializing in psychic phenomena, would claim that What Lord Aurdies saw was a creation of his mind— an -hallucination while in a highly stiTmg psycho-imaginative condition. Authorities like Hudson admit that so-called ghosts are actually “seen.” But they do not admi^ that seeing them neces sarily proves the existence and presence of departed spirits. Hallucinations in dreams seem very real. Many others firmly be lieve in ghosts. Yon can get just so far with' psychic phenomena, then reach a point where yau have nothing to stand on except faith. After all, faith is man's greatest power.

' - * • Harding Stays In Room Tuesday WASHINGTON — President Harding, who has ueen ill with the grippe, a week remained away from his office' again Tuesday. Brig. General Sawyer, his physi cian said jQhat while he had prac tically recovered he had been advised to remain in seclusion in order to obtain a _ much needed rest. Mr. Harding expected to trans- act routine buslnes in office a a he did yesterday, but no one had /in engagement to see him. Tues day’s cabinet session was called off. . . Dr. Sawyer said (that the pres ident’s temperature Tuesday was pormal and that his condition was satisfactory. He added that he advised Mr. Harding to take advantage of the present oppor tunity to rest because of the un usual strain he had been under during recent months. Situation Now In Citizens’ Grip HARRISON, ATk. — (By the Associated Press) — Conditions along the Missouri and North Ar kansas Railroad were more firmly In the grip of citizens openly op posed to striking workmen on that road, following the resignation here Monday night of J. L. Clute, mayor, George Minous, city aider- man and William Parr, city mar shal and indorsement of the work of the “citizens” committee here by a mass meeting held Monday at Eureka Springs. Armed volun teers continued to patrol tho streets and the roads leading into Harrison. Mayor date’s resignation WlU become effective February 5, while immediate sucessors to Minous and Parr were selected by a meeting of the city council last night FLARING EFFECT8 Flaring lines are noticed on many of the newest! spring mod els. It is quite , doubtful, how- ever,'if women are ready yet to give up the graceful draperies and straight lines that have be come so popular. them by dipping into things which are not germane to their position The wholesale charges made by Congressman Upshaw, of the Fifth' congressional district, against governors of various states, congressmen and other high officials in Washington, that the Volstead act was being openly and defiantly violated by these people were truly unfortunate. Even though there had been facts to support the charges it would have been better if left unsaid, but now that the Congressman has re fused or failed to produce evidence sufficient to back up his position, the occurrence is the more un fortunate for Mr. Upshaw as well for the nation. Charges of no acter should be preferred against -anyone unless there is foundation and if^there is founda tion—then the man making such charges should have the backbone fend moral courage to hack them up and produce his authority. If the prohibition law is being disrq* garded and violated in Washing ton, certainly it is the duty of the officers charged with the respon sibility of its enforcement to see to it that those violating any pro vision of the Volstead'? act be punished accordingly.

It was not a jest ing remark, but a deliberate in suit. Pawing around »n the rcpjrta seeking for precedents* that would disclose that no reason fer a di vorce existed, I ran across a New England case of the year 1840. A Presbyterian elder hatL insisted that his wife, who was. a Metho dist, attend his church.

Soil Survey of Madison County By T. LARRY GANTT I am indebted to Mr. W. W. Lowry, Associate Professor of Soil Chemistry of tho State Agricul tural College, for copy of a bulle tin, just issued on the analysis of the soils of Madison county. This is a valuable publication and one of the most complete of any like ork I have ever seen. *The soil survey work in Georgia Is being carried on by the State College in co-operation with the Bureau of Soils of the Uuited States De partment of Agriculture. This publication * contains 35 pages with a large map of iMadison coun ty, showing the soil of each sec tion and farm, the streams, public- roads, towns, schools, churches and every building on farms. One can take this map and locate his farm by measuring one inch on the map and also by the turns in the road, streams, houses etc. ^If he has 640 acres his farm will re present one inch on the map. By comparing the colors on this por tion of the map with those on the legend he can Identify the soil types on his particular farm. The soil type Influences the fer tilizer requirement and determines to a large extent the crops that will do best on any tract of land. It is important that the farmers j familiarize themselves as much as ‘ possible with the roll types they i are farming, as th*3 will greatly j .aid them In applying data ob- j talned from the, fertilizer plat ■ work and other experiments by! colleges and eyerrlmental stations.
