ENLISTED MEN IN NAVY
HAVE FINE OPPORTUNITY
An unprecedented thing Ims happen
ed in the U. S. Navy. For the first
time in the Navy's history the Atlan
tic and Pacific Fleets are to be of
equal strength. On July 17th the
surplus ships of the Atlantic Fleet
known ns the Sixth Battle Squadron
sailed from Hampton Roads to Pana
ma Canal and thence to San Diego,
California.
Enlisted men have an opportunity
of seeing the World free. Take for
example the North Atlanlic Fleet made
a trip around the World in 1907-8.
These men who are now sailing to the
west Coast are having a nice/rip too.
The latest news about the Nifty is
that you may enlist for two years, ev
en though you have never served be
fore. The Navy is larger than ever
before, has many new ships and needs
good men to help maun them. You
can Join the Navy and after 16 years
service retire and still rewive pay.
(jet in on the ground floor while the
Navy is growing and while promotions
nre most rapid.
Any information about the Navy will
he gladly furnished by The Navy Re
cruiting Station, P. <>. Bldg., Room 300,
Athens, Georgia.
_ SAVE ALL THE CORN CROP
Sixty per cent of tin* value of the
corn crop is in the grain and 40 per
cent in tin* stalks and leaves. Prob
ably not over 10 per cent of all farm
ers are getting full value from the
*orn crop. The (hue is coming when
practically all of tin* farmers will
realize the folly of wasting so large
a part of their crop.
Hats are permitted to eat and waste
millions of dollars worth of grain ev
ery year. This waste may he pre
vented at a .small cost. The corn
stalks and all should la* harvested.
Whether the corn is to go into the
silo or to the busker-shredder' or. in
the case of the small farmer, t,o the
fet*d cutter, it should llrst he cut close
to tin* ground. A sled type of corn
harvester or a corn hinder may he
used to cut the corn. The corn bin
der, like tin* grain hinder, makes a
large saving possible in manual la
bor and time, for it dot's six to eight
times as much work in a day under
average conditions as n man would
do.
The increasing use of silos is creat
ing a big demand for ensilage ma
chinery. There art* millions of farm
ers who have not yet seen the light
on the silo tpiestion, hut the number
is rapidly diminishing. This means,
that thousands should buy and use
corn harvesters, corn hinders, halers
and silo fillers.
A corn shelter and a corn mill to
grind the grain into meal are profita
ble machines on many farms. The
metal corn crib prevents the destruct
ion of millions of .dollars worth of
corn by rats and there is a constantly
and growing demand for such cribs.

ADVICE TO A BOV WIIO
WISHES TO (JET AHEAD
First of all. bo sure you make good
iist> ef the capital you already have,
lint perhaps you say that you have
no capital. Your father is a poor man
and you will get no property from him.
This may ho true and yet you may
have far better capital than some boy
who inherited herds and thicks, stocks
and bonds and broad acres.
A sound body, a trained mind, a dis
ciplined spirit,—these three constitute
any man’s most important capital. Out
of this capital some of the world’s
wealthiest men have carved their for
tunes. lacking this capital, many a
young fellow inheriting millions has
gone straight to bankruptcy.—The
Progressive Farmer.
ANTIPROHIBITIOMST
In little Marie's home the advan
tages and disadvantages of the ‘‘wet’’
and “dry” have been discussed with
much fervor.
When, during Sunday morning serv
ice, Marie demanded a drink and her
mother informed tier quietly, but firm
ly, that she could not have one, Marie
inquired anxiously in a stage whisper:
“Can’t I never have another drink,
now that the country's gone dry?”
"THE ROOSTER—SELL HIM,
COOP HIM, OK KILL HIM!”
In Texas, fostered by the Extension
Service of the A. and M. College, a
movement is under way to educate
poultry-raisers to the importance of
producing infertile eggs for the market.
May 20 was the opening day for this
drive, and on this day extension, work
ers all over the state, by means of
meetings and the distribution of liter
ature, explained the objects and good
o be derived from such a movement.
It is high tune farmers all over the
South were aroused to the importance
of this matter. It may seem a little
thing, lut it is not. Our poultry pro
ducts constitute one of our very Jm
jHirtant crops, and the value of this
crop, by means of better methods with
our poultry, may be enormously in
creased. One of these ttetter methods
is to produce infertile eggs. The roos
ter is absolutely unnecessary to egg
production, and the moment the eirtl
of the hatching season approaches it
is time to keep the rooster confined to
himself if he is good enough to keep—
or to sell or eat him if h>* is not. II
is a definite, proved fact that in hot
weather fertile eggs begin hatching
soon after they are laid, and of course
their wholesomeness and palutability
corresponding decrease. Lots of peo
ple “don’t like eggs in summer,” and
theres a reason. Who does like eggs
that art 1 beginning to hatch?
Get up-to-date, produce infertile eggs.
Sell that rooster, coop him or kill
him.— Progressive Farmer.

CONSISTENCY
A foolish consistency is the hobgob
lin of little minds, adored by little
statesmen and philosophers and di
vines.. With consistency a great soul
has sinply nothing to do. He may
is well concern himself with his shad
ow on the wall. Sjioak what you
think today, in words as hard as can
non balls, and tomorrow speak what
tomorrow, thinks, in hard words again,
though it contradict everything you
said Unlay. Ah, then, exclaim the
iged ladies, you will be sure to be
misunderstood. To bo great is to be
misunderstood. —Ralph Waldo Emer
son.

THE HERITAGE
OF COLLECTION
There is something about collecting
that never dies. Its heritage, stretch
ing back to the caveman who collected
pretty pink and white pebbles, may lie
dim at times, but it goes on and on,
constantly being resurrected in one
form or another. For this reason,
says a writer in the “House & Garden,”
men find it a source of constant re
freshment.
It keeps them young because it nev
er grows old. Let it lx* bandboxes or
bottles, stamps or Whistlers, Japanese
prints or Colonial lamps, neither the
acquiring nor the owning comprise
the whole of collecting’s lure. It is
this vast reaching back into the past
that, makes it so popular a hobby, this
discovering tilings in the attics of
yesterday.
The past without men and women
means nothing. Just so collecting with
out a comprehension of the men and
women of the past means nothing. A
chair five hundred years old is merely !
so much wood and leather, but a chair
that men and women have used for
five hundred years—ah. there’s the se
cret. In days gone by men and women
found these tilings useful anil pleasing
That pictured bandbox tells of a bride’s
heart a-flutter. That, consular ivory
records the ancient form of political
graft when Rome was young. This
tankard’s handle is worn with the grip
of men who drank heartily and needed j
no legislation to save their souls. This j
four-poster holds the secrets of life and
death and the peaceful sleep of honest
folk who laid them down in it.
You cannot collect anything without
having generations of ghosts looking
over your shoulder. You cannot go in
to an attic without arousing the spir
its of the past. Once you become a
collector you join tbe innumerable
throng of those who have made and
cherished these tilings, a throng hope
ful that you will appreciate them, care
for them and hand them on to other
folks when your interest in them dies.
AVERSION TO CHANGE
“Why do you object to the league
of nations?”
“(>n musical grounds. After singing
‘My Country, ’Tis of Thee,’ all these
years I don’t want the mental, effort
of changing to ‘Our Countries, ’Tis of
Those.’ ”
The desire to he pleased is univer
sal. The desire to please should be
the same.
