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.

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.

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 $600.00 The North Georgia Fair is paying $600.00 for county demonstration work in Barrow county.

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.” Buy Your Easter Suit at J.
