Telephorie Saved Child’s Life
One of the children fell into a water tank on
an Alabama farm and was rescued unconscious and
apparently lifeless. The frantic mother rushed to
the telephone and called the doctor six miles away.
He told her what to do and started at once, but
before he arrived the child was out of danger.
The protection of women and children is only
one of the chief values of the telephone on the
farm.
You can have this service at small cost. See

Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture
A visit to tlx.- college of agricult
ure aixl it- 1 various depart merits,
;t ll inspection of the grounds, ham*
and outhouses, was a revelation and
an inspiration to the Board of visit
ors. Too much cannot he said in
commendation of President Soule
and his corps of assistants. The
magnificent, buildings erected by the
stale under the direction of some of
the trustees is a monument *.o the
Executive Hoard of the trustees of
the college, the business ability, the
far siglitediioss and the devotion to
tlx- interests of Georgia, outlie part
of these gentlemen who are serving
j the state witli such devotion and
distinction.
The Board does not .wish to go on
record as favoring any school or de
partment of the university asagnin.-t
any other department, but for tin
reason that Georgia at this particu
lar time stands so greatly in need of
the full development of tin- agricul
tural resources of the state and for
the additional reason that tlx- state
was so tardy in beginning the teach
ing of practical ami theoretical ag
riculture, we deem it the part of
wisdom that the trustees urge upon
the legislature the necessity of sup
porting tlx- (Allege of ag.iculture in
every way possible. We would that
eveiy citizen of the slate could an* k,
would read the report, ui J’reaident.

inlluencing and assisting the 10,000
hoys enrolled in the corn clubs of
the state, in inspiring the nearly
2,’>00 girls of the canning clubs to
make Use of the products of the
garden and farm, in increasing tin
corn yield in Georg a from an ever
age of 1 1 bushels to an average of
I l bushels per acre, and in tin
many other activities of the College
of Agriculture, Georgia is reaping a
harvest that will, in a few years
make her indeed and in truth, the
Empire State of the South,
It appears to your Hoard that
through the College of Agriculture,
very largely, education along prac
tical lines, is being taken to the
people of the state as never in the
history ol the South. The people
are beginning to feel and realize
that Georgia, through this great in
stitution, is taking an active inter
est in the welfare of her children.
What stronger evidence of this
assertion than that found in the re
p >rt of President Soule, where we
are told that during the year 1912-
13, in ,V> counties there were held
of Short Course Schools for adult
farmers, which school had an at
tendance of 13,b0b men, many of
whom had never had an opportun
ity of educational advantages, but
who are eager to appropriate all the
help that the College is able to ren
der them. In 120 counties of tlie
state, tlieie were 120 meetings held
for farmers wives, said meetings
having an attendance of 2-»,114; 20
Teachers Institutes were hell hav
ing an attendance of 1542: ISA hoys
Corn C lush and 300 girls Canning
Clubs were among the activities of
the college, and tlie good to Georgia
coming directly from these effort
on the part of the President and his
assistants is l-ejond the power of
comprehension. During tlie year,
educational exhibits were made at
six Georgia fairs, and these exibits
were attended by 47,000 visitors.
Surely the College is being carried
!to the people. And the people are
: realizing and appreciating its hene
! fits. There is in hank several thou
sands of dollars raised by voluntary
contrioution for this extension work
in Georgia and every dollar that the
state will put into the work will be
duplicated by subscriptions from
interested citizens. President Soule
asks for an increase in maintenance'
of St's,ooo; lie asks for an increase
of 8 to,ooo to be used in extension
work; be presses bis claim for 8100
000 to be used in the erection of a
new building to enable theyoutn of
Georgia to come to this great insti
tution founded it i J true through
the inspiration and the vision cau
ght by the citizins of a distant state
but which some of our people have
been wise enough to appropriate
and utilize. Gentlemen of the.
board of trustees, urge the legislat
ure to give him every dollar that he
asks. It will pay the state from
every stand-point. Georgia has
been tardy in paying the debt that l
she owes her sons of the soil. For
gene ations they have paid to the
state the larger portion < f the taxes
that have (lowed into her treasury
cpt; ;i:t is but discharging' a debt
that Jtlie owes these men w hen she
makes large appropiat ions for the
advancement of agriculture. Geor
gia is an agricultural state. If she
is ever rich and truly prosperous,
she must become so because of the
-eienlilie development of her farm ]
mg interests; Georgia lias many!
charitable and educational institut
linii to support and advance, it is
the candid opinion of the Board of
visitors that the best, yea, the only
way to maintain these institutions;
is hy encouraging the work of the
igrieultura! College to such an ex
tent that there shall be no farmer
throughout our state who does not
come within the splicte of its iullu
etireand who fails to realize that
bis vocation is as honorable, as
greatly inspected and as remuner
ative as are those of professional and
commercial life.

NAVAL STORES MEN PLAN
TO BOOST PRODUCT PRICE
Jacksonville Fla., .June A h —The j
naval stores faetots and operators o'
Florida and South Georgia met line
today for the purpose of bettering
the conditions of the trade by closer
organization and more scientific
marketing as well as more ecnomi
cal production. The prime object
under discussion is the boosting of
prices to a profitable level. Some
of the operators are determined
that the present prices must he in
creased even if a suspension of oper
ation must ha voted. Another
matter under consideration is the j
conservation of the trees by the use
of more modern methods of tapping
and bleeding.
Some rule may he adopted to
make obligatory. Tlie factors are
in accord with the operators, but
point out that the production of
turpentine and rosin is far in excess
of the demand lienee the low prices
prevailing as the factors have to
carry the stores using borrowed
money.
Willing Panhandler.
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia,
was accosted one day by a drunken
panhandler, who asked for a dime.
The archbishop gave him the dime and
said: “My friend, don't you think it
would be possible for you to walk in
the straight and narrow path?” The
panhandler straightened up, “Who?
me?" he asked. “Show it to me. I
used to be a tight rope walker.” —Sat-
