USES. AUTO IN ROAD MAKING
Ingenious Farmer Has Simple Scheme
Which It Seems Might Be Well
Worth Copying.
A friend who has spent the entire
summer and some of the fall In a se
cluded rural dis
trict was telling
a c ity i-an the
fj other day about
Ar how the farmers
keep their roads In
('vvSm g°°d shape In the
section In which
g £?rvT -5s he was sojourning.
“There aren’t any
state roads In that
V • part of the coun
t/r try,” he says, “and
no brick or macad
am. But the farmers keep the gravel
and dirt roads In excellent shape.
Whenever my landlord took a trip to
town, or anywhere, he used to hitch a
road drag to his automobile. Then
the car would pull the drag along the
mile or two that he was interested In
keeping up. He would unhitch the
drag and leave It by the wayside. On
the way home he would pick up the
drag where he left It and drag the
other side of the road going back.
And he’d make a round like that al
most every time he took the car out.”
Automobiles demanded good roads,
and now automobiles are making
them. But It took a farmer to think
up a simple trick like the one our
friend relates.
Automatic.
The youngster was trying to tell
story, and he was making a sad
mess of it. He lost the thread of his
discourse because he was looking out
of the window at a couple of kids on
the other side of the street. His
another called him to attention.
‘Took here, Walter," she command
■ed. "You must keep your mind on
what you are talking about If yon
expect anybody to listen to you. It Is
Impossible to talk about one thing
tand think about something else.”
"No it Isn’t,” contradicted Walter.
**When I'm sayln’ my prayers, I c’n
think about anything I want to, an’
inever stop prayin’.”
A lot of prayers are put up that
way.

Lines to Be Remembered.
The atrocious crime of being a
I young man which the honorable gen
tleman has with such spirit and de
cency charged upon me, 1 shall neither
attempt to palliate nor deny, but con
tent myself with wishing that I may
be one of those whose follies may
cease with their youth, and not of that
number who are Ignorant In spite of
their experience.—William Pitt, Earl
of Chatham.
Land Built by Rivera.
The geologists says that the Gulf
of Mexico once extended northward
*to the mouth of the Ohio, and that all
the land between that point and New
Orleans has been built up by the earth
washings brought down the river. Even
now the stream carries on the average
something like 400,000,000 tons every
year. From the Missouri alone comes
120 tons every second, or more than
10,000,000 cubic yards every day.
Iron Stemmed Carnations.
French horticulturists by selective
breeding have succeeded In producing
carnations with great, heavy heads
and stems so thick and strong that
they support the weight of the blos
eoms unassisted. The great diffi
culty with big carnations hitherto has
been that the stems were too weak.
Strength.
Wife —Are you sure you caught this
fish?
Mr. Gayfello—Of course.
Wife—lt smells very strong.
Mr. Gayfello—Strong? I should say
it was! It nearly pulled me over

War Talk.
“Did you see Myrtle this morning?
Her make-up was splendid.”
“Yes; I thought her camouflage wai
perfectly beautiful.”
May Not Be Dull.
Never set a person down as dull un
til you have tried him alone, and,
even If the duolog falls, do not be
too sure which is the dull one.
Always the Little Man.
Great men do not play stage tricks
with the doctrines of life and death;
only little men do that.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY OF
LEAGUE COVENANT
Paris, April 14.—The following
official summary of the covenant
of the League of Nations was given
out tonight:
l_The League of Nations is
founded in order to promote in
ternational cooperation and to se
cure peace. The league will in
clude (a) lha belligeiLnt etrftes
named in a document annexed to
jthe covenant; (b) all the neutral
states so named and (e) in the
future any self-governing country
whose admission is approved by
two-thirds of the states already
members of the league. A state
may withdraw from the league
providing it has kept its obliga
tions to date on giving two years’
jnotice.
2 The league will act through
an assembly comprising not more
than three representatives of each
of the member states, each state,
however, having only one vote and
a council comprising for the pres
ent, one representative of each of
the five great powers and each of
four other powers, as selected from
time to time by the assembly. The
number of powers of each class rep
resented on the council may be in
creased by the unanimous consent
of the council and a majority of
the assembly. Other powers have
the right to sit as members of the
council during the decision of mat
ters in which they are specially
interested. In the council, as in
the assembly, each state will have
only one vote. Both these bodies
are to meet at stated intervals,
(the council at least once a year)
and at other times if required;
both can deal with any matter that
is of international interest or that
threatens the peace of the world;
the decision of both must be unani
mous, except in certain specified
cases, matters of procedure, for
instance, being decided by majority
vote. The league will have a per
manent secretariat under a secre
tary general. The secretariat and
all other bodies under the league
may include women equally with
men. A permanent court of in
ternational justice and various
permanent commissions and bu
reaus are also to be established.
3 The member states agree: (a)
to reduce their armaments, plans
for such reduction being suggested
by the council, but only adopted
with the consent of the states them
selves, and thereafter not to in
crease them without the concur
rence of the council (b) to ex
change full information of their
existing armies, and their naval
and military programmes; (c) to
.respect each other’s territory and
personal independence, and to
guarantee them against foreign ag
gression.
(and) To submit all international
disputes either to arbitration or to
inquiry by the council, which lat
ter, however, may not pronounce
an opinion on any dispute whose
subject matter falls solely within
a state’s domestic jurisdiction; in

The North Georgia Fair is paying $600.00 for county
demonstration work in Barrow county. Were it not for the
liberality of the Fair Association our county boys and girls
would be deprived of this scientific instruction. Every boy
and girl in the county is requested to see Mr. W. 11. llosch
and Miss Dillard at once and enroll for this training, so you
will be in line to receive some of the handsome prizes that
will be awarded at the Fair October 7-8-9-10-11, 1919. We
mention only a few of them. <

no ease to go to war till three
months after an award or unani
mous recommendation has been
made; and even then not to go to
war with a state which accepts the
award or recommendation; (e) to
regard a state which has broken
covenant (and) as having committed
an act of war against the league;
to break off all ecomonic and other
relations with it; and to allow
free passage through their terri
tories to the troops to those states
which are contributing armed
force on behalf of the league. The
council is to recommend what
amount of force, if any, should be
supplied by the several govern
ments concerned, hut the approval
of the latter is necessary. (States
not members of the league will be
invited to accept the obligations
of the league for the purpose of
particular disputes and if they fail
to comply may he forced) ; (f) not
to consider any treaty binding un
til it has been communicated to
the elague, which will then proceed
to publish it; to admit the right
of the assembly to advise the re
consideration of treaty and inter
national conditions which do not
accord with present needs; and to
be bound by no obligations incon
sistent with the covenant.
A state which breaks agreement
may be expelled from the league
by the council.
4 The covenant does not af
fect the validity of international
engagements such as treaties of
arbitration or regional understand
ings, like the Monroe doctrine, for
securing the maintenance of peace.
5 The former German colonies
and territories of the Ottoman em
pire are to be administered in the
interests of civilization by states
which are willing to be mandato
ries of the league which will ex
ercise a general supervision.
6—The member states accept cer
tain responsibilities with regard
,to labor conditions, the treatment
of natives, the white slave traffic,
the opium traffic, the arms traffic
with uncivilized and semi-civilized
countries, transit and trade con
ditions, public health and Red
Cross societies.
7 The league is recognized as
the central body interested in co
ordinating and assisting inter
national activities generally.
8— Amendments to the covenant
require the approval of all the
states on the council and a simple
majority of those in the assembly.
States which signify their dissent
from amendments thus approved
are not bound by them, but in this
case cease to be members of the
league.
Steam Against Baila.
Modern naval development may be
said to have begun with the rapid In
crease in the size of ships which took
place at the close of the fifteenth cen
tury; and mediaeval history finally
closed with the battle of Lepanto in
1571, the last great action in which
rowing galleys played an important
part. From this time the sail-pro
pelled man-of-war was gradnally im
proved until early In the nineteenth
century, when sails began to give way
to steam.
GEORGIA HISTORICAL ASSO
CIATION ELECTS ITS OF
FICERS; JUDGE COBB
PRESIDENT.
The following officers were elec
ted Saturday at the third meet
ing of the Georgia Historical Asso
ciation, held in the senate cham
ber of the state capitol: Judge
Andrew Cobb, of Athens, presi
dent ; Alfred C. Newell, of Atlan
ta, first vice-president, and 0. A.
Park, of Macon, second vice-presi
dent. The meeting was presided
over by the retiring president, Dr.
(Lucian Lamar Knight.
Dr. Knight in his address gave
as the most noteworthy achieve
ments of the association during the
past year the establishment of a
department of archieves and his
tory for the state and the publica
tion of a quarterly magazine to
stimulate an interest in the state’s
history.
In refering to the returning
heroes, Mr. Knight said: “Never
in all her histoi’y was Georgia
prouder of her hero-strain. Our
boys are now returning home. Let
us throw around them our embrac
ing arms. Let us show these hoys
how proud and happy we are —not
alone with salvos and hurrahs, but
better still, with offers of employ
ment in our work-shops and in our
factories. Not a. boy should be
idle for lack of work to do. It will
put upon us the brand of shame
if, when on foreign soil, they have
eariied glory for their state, we
deny them an opportunity to earn
bread in their native land.”
