COFFEE COUNTV PROGRESS
TO THE GIRLS OF
THE CANNING CLUB
Every girl in the canning club is
requested to join one of thefi'e
classes mentioned below. They are
requested to use the containers sug
gested in each class, since they are
the containers thought to show the
pack to the bast advantage. We
are putting special stress on proper
packing and canning, because we
know the girls of Coffee county are
thoroughly capable of putting up a
standard pack. By showing the ex
hibits in the giass at the county fair,
anyone can carefully examine a girl’s
product and judge for themselves if
it be a standard pack. The girl’s
name and address will be on the
label on her product.
They are allowed to choose for
themselves which class they will
join, and they will be expected to
exhibit in that class. These arrange
ments of classes have been made so
that every girl can have an idea how
to prepare for exhibit, and also to
convey the meaning to each mem
ber, that it is not the quantity but
the quality that counts. In other
words our aim first is quality, then
quantity. The following are the di
vision of classes:

Freight Rates In Georgia
‘ " The proposition of the railroads for a re
vision of Georgia freight rates contemplates
the observance of the long and short haul
principle, which would place Georgia rates
substantially on a mileage basis, so that
all towns, small and large, would fare alike.
The leveling process which the observance
of the long and short haul principle requires,
would result in numerous and substantial
reductions on important classes of traffic, as . _
the following will show: _

The Railroads Of Georgia
These sapie children from the public
schools who were singing driveling
piffle parrot wise are the youn- peo
ple of today who should be attending
our great concerts given by the or
chestras and choral societies, and yet
how many can be at classical
concerts and fine recitals? Here is
a question for the head of the public
school music system. 'Tls about time
music for children got out of a rut.
Both Were Trying.
“Well, well,” exclaimed the million
aire, “what do you want this morn
ing'’”
‘T’ve come again to ask you for
your daughter.”
“Haven't 1 told you six times over,
on as many different days, that it is
out of the question?”
“If I seem to be more persistent
than circumstances warrant, you, sir,
are to blame.”
"I!” shouted the indignant man.
“There.” said the man who loved his
daughter, as he pointed to a motto over
the banker’s desk, “is my excuse for
coming day after day, ‘lf at first you
don’t succeed, try, try, try again.’ Do
you not believe in that sentiment?”
After he had scratched his head a
while, the mean plutocrat said:
“Yes, 1 believe in that. I haven’t suo
ceeded yet in making you understand
that my daughter shall not become the
wife of a fool, but I am going to keep
on trying till I do. Good morning!”
Couldn’t Read.
They were discussing the rights and
wrongs of a strike, and stout and
strenuous were the arguments on ei
ther side.
“Look here! Say I ain't tellin’ th’
truth! Look there,” said Bob Pellett,
producing a newspaper, and flourish
ing it under Joe's eye.
But Joe ignored the proffered liter
ature.
“I don’t want to see no newspaper."
he said, loftily. “Wot 1 knows; 1
knows."
"And that ain’t much,” said Bob.
n lson T t want to the newspaper,
e don’t. Why? '('os “§ can't read.
Unedicated—that's wot he id.'
Immediately Joseph's ire rose.
‘ I'm as well edicated as you. Bob,”
he said, with dignity. “But as I learnt
it in a night school, o’ course I can't
read in the daytime!”
To Manufacture Optical Glass.
The manufacture of American op
tical glass is about to be begun on a
commercial basis, a‘large factory hav
ing been erected by an optical firm of
Rochester, N. Y., which, it is said, will
be equipped to make all kinds of
lenses, from the tiny glass used in the
microscope to that cf the searchlight
measuring several feet in diameter.
The first effort in this direction was
made about twenty-five years ago, and
it was a failure. The latest effort in
the manufacture of this glass was be
gun experimentally by the Rochester
firm a few years ago. and when the
war broke out they had Just demon
stated its success, so that its expen
sion would have come along in the
regular order of things. The neces
sity for a plant of this kind in this
country has been forcibly demonstrat
ed by the war, which has completely ;
cut oIT the supply of optical glass, i
which came heretofore from one or
the other of the countries, j
SUPREME AT CHESS BOARD
Paul Charles Morphy, Annerl;an, Was
One of the Greatest Players the
World Has Ever Known.
Paul Charles Morphy, the famous
American chess player, Is classed aa
“perhaps the most remarkable chess
player of modern times.” He was
born in New Orleans in 1837, and was
notably precocious as a child: ha
showed his precocity particularly In
games of chess, and before he was thir
teen had defeated many well-known
amateurs. For several years he stud
ied law at the College of South Caro
lina, and played chess only occasion
ally. But in 1857, at the first Ameri
can Chess congress, held in New York,
he easily defeated the best players
that could be brought against him.
In 1858 Morphy went to England,
and there defeated Loewenthal, Boden,
and Bird, and performed the most
astonishing feats in simultaneous
games without the board. When he
was in Paris, the same year, he won
five out of eight games with Harr
witz, and gave many exhibitions of
blindfold playing. It was these last
that were responsible for the early
breakdown of his health. After his
return to the United States, in 1859,
he defeated the visiting German ex
pert, Anderssen. in seven out of eleven
games. He was admitted to the bar, and
began to practice la w in Ne w Orleans.
But the strain of his blindfold con
tests had been too great for his mind,
and he was forced first to give up
chess altogether, and then to abandon
all mental occupation. He lived in
retirement until his death, in 1884.
His activity thus covered a compara
tively shore space of time. Morphy’s
skill is described as Inexplicable. He
never was a close student of chess.
He played his games easily and quick
ly, with no preparation and little hesi
tation. Yet his combinations were
“remarkable for finesse, depth, ele
gance. and soundness.” He also pos
sessed a phenomenal memory.

WHY CHILDREN HAfE MUSIC
’ T
■ “ "
Too Often They Are Taught With Lit
tie Regard to Capacity of Their
Understanding.
Why do children hate music? asked
an English contemporary some tims
ago. and then proceeded to answer its
own propounded question by saying,
acording to the Musical Leader, that:
“The truth is that children are too
often the helpless victims of incompe
tent or 111-trained teachers, whose
chief idea seems to be to stuff their
luckless pupils with such knowledge
as they themselves possess, forgetting
that the child is, in this respect, but
a baby, who needs foods specially
adapted to its digestive powers. Con
sequently indigestion follows and the
child’s musical health suffers.
“We believe that nearly all children
enjoy music. It is natural to them to
love singing, and it is through sing
ing that their musical sense should
be developed.”
But not through such singing as we
noted some three of four years ago in
some of the public schools. As the
English writer says:
“If children ‘hate music,’ it is be
cause they are so often taught un
psychologically and with so little re
gard to the intellect.”
