LINTON WYNNE, Our Motto: Cleanliness, Fairness and Promptness ‘PHONE ONE—FIVE—O 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.

TtUg COOHBiI JOCBS-IL, CGCnHAX, GEORGIA. 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.

In the analysis of the soils of differ cut counties of Georgia, in the cult ure of cotton, in horticulture, in farm mechanics, in the making and sending to those who wish them, hi tie prints of farm buildings, in 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- urday Evening Post. To Our Subscribers We have mailed hills to all our subscribers who are in arrears.
