Cutler the terms of a hill recently
approved by the governor of Penn
sylvania, ten verses of the. Pi tie
must be read daily without com
ment, in all Schools of that state.
Teachers who violate this law are
subject to dismissal. Good law.
Someone has suggested that a
good thing to do when you pray is
to pray for someone whom you do
not like.
“Hon. H. Yam has been granted
a new trial. After all it may be
that God will overrule matters so
that this distinguished servant of
the .church will be vindicated by
the courts; as lie is now vindicated
in the confidence and faith of all
who knew him.” —Wesleyan Chris
tian Advocate.
“An unclouded life on this e rth
would be an unblessed life. But
there is no such a thing as an un
clouded life, as there is no such
thing as an unblessed life. God
sees that every human life is en
riched at one time or another with
the safeguarding blessing of clouds.
f l!ie earth is not blessed in spite of
its clouds; it is blessed by its
clouds. So let us remember that
each time of darkness in our life is
not God withholding his blessing,
but God sending blessing. How it
must grieve him when we dtcline hi
receive that which His love has
prepared for us!”

with a human face in its eye and
an elephant trunk growing from its
forehead. The mother of the pig is
still alive and lias 'several young
ones. There was only one that was
deformed. The freak pig only
lived a few days and has caused a
great deal of exe.itmont among the
people in (his section.
It has been pronounced by doc
tors and the people who saw the
pig to be one of the greatest curios
ities of a pig that has ever bieu
seen.
The pig is also without any hair
upoh its body, while a!’ pigs have
hair upon their body when born.
The pig is well preserved in a large
jar with alcohol.

More Money
For The Farmers
The Atlanta Journal takes thr
position that more crops means
more money and refers to the inter
esting example of a Wilkes county
man who has under cultivation a
wonderfully large variety of feed
crops. The Journal says that this
farmer has one hundred and twen
ty-five acres which include corn,
wheat, oats, rye, alfalfa, turnips,
potatoes and other food products.
“The prospect for each of these
crops is cheering,” says tire Jour
nal, “but, should any of them
prove a failure, the others jyould
stand ready to hedge the loss, a
situation vastly safer and better
than that of the farmer who stakes
his all on a single venture in cot
ton . ’ ’
The News adds, in this connec
tion; “While weather conditions
tins spring have not been favorable,
there is no evidence that the farm
ers have despaired of making mon
ey. The report comes from Tift
county that despite all discourage
ments. farmers there received one
hundred and twenty-five dollars an
acre for their eabl ages. The re
peated warning that there must be
diversification of cKORS is having
effect.”
“No omen in Georgia’s agricul
tural affairs is more assuring than
that which points to a breaking
away from the old tyranny of the
one-crop idea; nor is there surer
evidence that the principles of
scientific and businesslike farming
are at length being applied. The

NUMBER 44
Deadly Fly Nation’s
Greatest Enemy
It is not very interesting or excit
ing to talk about Hies. They are
not as romantic as venomous ser
pents.
They are not as huge and impres
sive as wild elephants or roaring
lions.
They are not as mysterious and
awe-inspiring as the plague or the
“Black Death’.”
But the fly is more poisonous to
day than all the snakes of the
world combined, infinitely more
dangerous than all the ferocious an
imals.
And herein our civilization and
so-called perfect science the fly de
stroys life on a scale that may fair
ly be compared with the ravages or
the plague days when the popula
tion was smaller, ignoranpe and in
d i ffi ■ rence greater.
The fly kills ten thousands of
children every year.
The fly causes more blindness in
children than all other causes com
bined.
The fly spreads every known di
sease to children and adults, for it
frequents every disease breeding
spot and hunts purposely for filth.
—llearst’s Sunday American.
Millions and millions of flies
breed under unsanitary closets and
swarm into our dining rooms,
kitchens and bed-rooms, oftentimes
bringing with them germs as dead
ly as the venomous rattlesnake and
we pay no attention to them.
Fellow Citizens, if we are not
prepared at this time to put in reg
ulation sanitary closets, would it
not he a good idea for everybody
to screen their closets against flies.
