Rely on America for
All Sorts of Goods
From a Peruvian mining camp In
the Andes came by mail to a Now
York department store not long since
an order for food. The shipment
made the last leg of its journey with
the help of fifty pack mules, each of
which carried 250 pounds up the steep
ascent, says The Nation’s Business. I
And from Alaska came an order for
silk feminine underwear and a hat
which would wear six months. “The
styles change only twice a year up
here,” the customer explained.
A woman in Paris wrote to another
New York shop for a certain powder
used to clean false teeth. A woman
in Maracaibo, Venezuela, wrote for a
certain brand of face cream. Another
in Bermuda wanted just one drinking
cup and got it. A customer in Peru
got camera films, and books were sent
to India and China.
Germans are America’s mail-order
customers for table delicacies, starch,
salt, pepper and soap. Liberia and
Beirut, Syria, buy our foodstuffs by
letter. Moscow, Warsaw and Latvian
villages write for our canned goods.
Italy, Denmark, Finland, Norway,
Belgium, Switzerland and Sweden are
on our department store books. In
some cases missionaries are credited
witli the sales, in others returned im- i
migrants.
And wherever the goods go they are
voiceless ambassadors of the Ameri- j
can policy of a dollar’s worth for a
dollar.
Joke Would Seem to
Be on Paragraphers
Newspaper paragraphers like to
poke fun at advertisements announc
ing the loss of an ‘‘open-faced man’s
watch,” announces the Montreal Her
ald. Who and where is this open
faced man? they inquire. But, truly,
he is no joke, the open-faced man. |
May his tribe Increase.
The countenance of the open-faced
man is no mask, concealing guile. His ■
character is written on it, so that all j
can read, for he has nothing whereof j
to be ashamed. The open face is an
open book.
Scrambling metaphors, one may say
the open face is also a mirror, receiv
ing and reflecting light. The counte
nance of the open-faced man is a
cheering illuminant when other men’s
faces are shadowed by gloom and de
spair.
But he is no professional Sunny j
Jim. The light in his countenance is
the faith that is in his heart and
other men And strength and courage
in his prtesence.
Despite the paragraphers, there are |
indeed such persons as open-faced '
men. There are many of them, but I
still not enough. Scripture gives hon
orable mention to the men of open
face, for in Corinthians it is written:
“We all with open face beholding as
in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are
transformed into the same image from
glory to glory.”
Goat’s and Cow’s Milk
In taste goat’s milk is like rich
cow's milk, except that it is some
what whiter and a trifle sweeter. The
uninitiated would not be able to dis
tinguish it from cow’s milk either by
taste or odor. It is slightly more vis
cous than cow’s milk, the consistency
being smooth like first-run cream. Over
3,T00 goats are used by various gov
ernment hospitals for milk-producing
purposes. Tuberculosis sanatoriums
especially use large amounts of goat’s
milk. Experts declare that it is a
good body builder for patients suffer
ing from wasting diseases such as tu
berculosis. Goat’s milk being algaline
in its reaction, the same as human
milk, is about the best substitute for
mother’s milk for babies. The curd
of goat’s milk, being tender and flaky,
Is digested in the shortest possible
time. It is pure and wholesome and
can safely be taken in a raw state. ;
Goats are considered Immune from
tuberculosis, so their milk needs no
pasteurizing, and runs no danger of
losing any of its vitamines or having
anj r of its lime salts altered by the
application of heat.
Told in an Epitaph
There had been a motor car accident
resulting in Injury to the driver and
two passengers. The magistrate con
ducting an investigation of the matter
summoned several witnesses, among
them a farmer living near the scene
of the accident There was a great
deal of testimony offered regarding
the high speed at which the car had
traveled. Witnesses, moreover, said
that the road was in bad repair. The
magistrate finally reached the farmer,
who lived near the scene.
“What would you say about this ac
cident, Mr. Gatley?” he asked.
“Well, es I was writin’ the driver’s
epitaph,” drawled the witness, “I’d
say he died tryin’ to get GO miles
out of a 10-mlle road.''
Dante’s Accuracy
Dante wrote parts of the “Divine
Comedy” with a map spread out be
fore him. So think scholars who have
found brief descriptions of regions in
that great poem extremely Incisive
and accurate. Certain passages in ihe
“De Vulgar! Eloquentla,” a work in
which the great poet lays down the
rules of poetic composition, could
hardly have been written without ref
erence to a map. Though Dante wrote
no treatise devoted specifically to
geography, he had a clear understand
ing of the relative positions of places
in Italy and its neighboring lands
and his greatest poem is based on the
orthodox geographical theories of his
time.
Emu Perfect Example
of “Henpecked” Male
Among the Australian emu emanci
pated females are the rule. Here the
lady does the courting, which consists
largely of a loud booming. The emu
is a very irregular layer, depositing
her big green eggs at intervals of
from two days to a week. No nest
I is built, and it is the duty of the
| harassed male to follow her move
ments and to cover the eggs with bits
of straw or grass, so that they may
have at least some protection, says
Lee S. Crandall in the Mentor. The
clutch varies from two to as many
as eighteen eggs; just how the male
keeps track of them all is still a mys
tery. When he feels that no more are
to follow he scoops a shallow hollow
in the ground and gathers into It his
scattered treasures. Then he humbly
begins the process of Incubation, a
task which lasts for eight weeks —the
longest incubation period known to
birds. When the babies emerge he
lavishes on them an attention that no
mother could excel. This great bird,
nearly as large as an ostrich, leading
a brood of chicks, might serve as a
perfect example of motherly solici
tude. He guards his children for a
year and a half, leaving them only to
yield to the persuasive “boom" that
again bends his neck to the yoke.
While her downtrodden mate is "keep
i Ing the home together” the mother
I emu Is roaming the country “boom
' Ing” for another mate.
Odd Japanese Custom
Fixing Age of Babies
Japanese babies are precocious, for
they are a year old the moment they
are born, and two years old the first
New Year’s day, writes Carroll Y. Zim
merman in Babyhood. That is the
way the Japanese reckon age, counting
the year In which the baby is born
one, the next year two, and so on. If
| you had been born in Japan just as
( the temple gong was about to boom
! 12 on the night of December 31, you
I would be, according to the Japanese
i mind, two years old with the first re
-1 sounding clang.
So in Nippon, one of a pair of twins
might Indeed be a year older than the
other. This addition of another year
to a person’s age on January 1, irre
spective of the actual month of his
birth, came about in this way: When
in 1870 the Japanese calendar was
changed to conform to the European
, months, the people at large could not
understand why they should be done
out of their real, as opposed to the
official new year, and so, at the be
ginning of February, the same thing
starts again, and everybody considers
it his duty to celebrate the occasion
I just as his ancestors did.
“Jokes” in Wills
The gayety of the French often runs
into practical jokes; many of these
have found their way into wills. A
practical joker who died at Reaux
some three centuries ago expressed the
wish that representatives of the four
l orders of the Mendicant monks should
accompany his coffin, each carrying
four large candles —which he had pro
vided in advance. It was done, but at
the most solemn moment of the funeral
service the big candles.exploded, scat
tering fire, smoke and consternation
all around. They were all loaded like
trick cigars. A rich Frenchman who
died at Constantinople left his fortune
to a nephew and niece in France —but
to be given to them only after they had
ridden all the way to Constantinople
on a tandem bicycle to get it They
were young and strong, and they dfii it.
Fog Destroys Audibility
Dense fog has a peculiar property
of reducing or destroying audibility
within certain zones. Marine disasters
along coasts are sometimes due to the
fact that sound signals which are plain
ly audible during clear weather cannot
I be heard within certain zones of si-
I lence when the sounding object is sur
rounded by dense fog. A recent ex
ample is that of the steamer Siberian
Prince which went on the rocks at
Bentnick island during a dense fog
while the fog signal at Race rocks
nearby was in operation. Subsequent
investigation revealed the fact that the
sound of the signal could be heard al
this point in clear weather, but not
during a dense fog.
Circus Feats Ancient
Many of the circus and vaudeville
feats which are performed today were
performed in the circuses and amphi
theaters which drew large audiences
5,000 years ago. Frescoes were recent
ly uncovered in Crete by an eminent
archeologist, which represent a charg
ing bull about to toss a girl poised on
Its horns, while another girl Is stand
ing behind apparently waiting to catch
her. A man is represented turning
somersaults on the bull’s back. All of
these performers are dressed in cos
tumes which very much resemble
those worn by modern bare-back
riders.
Prepared for the Worst
Jones had found a slip of paper on
his lawn. It was an accurate and de
tailed plan of his private office. The
exact position of the stairs was noted.
Notes showed which doors swung in
and which swung out. Even the win
dows were set down. Jones was
alarmed.
“Some burglar must be going to
raid my office,” he told his family.
“Oh that isn’t it," cried his daugh
ter glancing at the sketch. “Those
notes are in Jack’s handwriting. He's
coming down to your office to ask you
to let him marry me.”
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., NOVEMBER 21, 1924
Ended Love Trail of
Man Who Played Fair
Alexander loved the ladles and he
played fair with them. That is, he al
ways proposed to them.
“I am so sorry,” said Helene, when
he proposed to her. “So sorry, but you
see I am engaged to George.”
Eunice said "yes” promptly, when he
asked her, but she was surprised when
he reminded her of it the next time
they met. "Surely you were not seri
ous,” she said. “Anyway, I was not."
Dolly cuddled close to him and whis
pered “yes”—but In the morning she
had forgotten.
Anna Margaret promised to consider
it and let him know, but she never
did.
Mary Jane let him kiss her hand and
she talked quite awhile about the
beauty of love. The next week sh?
moved away and left no address.
Henrietta was sure she could have
loved him had she not already de
cided on a career.
Thora, the pretty divorcee, cried and
wished she had met him first —before
she lost her faith In men.
Sally was a sweet little debutante,
and he thought he might as well be her
first sweetheart. Alas, he was not. He
only thought he was —but he was her
last, for she married him, and that was
the last of Alexander. Well, just about
the last. —Kansas City Star.
Many Legends Treat
of Woman's Creation
Woman's first appearance has been
a popular subject of legends. The
Phoenician myth of creation is found
ed on the story of Pygmalion and
Galatea. There the first woman was
carved out of ivory by the first man,
and then endowed with life by Aphro
dite, says the Kansas City Star.
The Greek theory of the creation of
woman, according to Hesiod, was that
Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered Vulcan
to make woman out of clay, and then
Induce the various gods and goddesses
to invest the clay doll with all their
worst qualities, the result being a
lovely thing.
The Scandinavians say that as Odin,
Vlll and Ve, the three sons of Bor,
were walking along the beach they
found two sticks of wood, one of ash
and one of elm. • Sitting down, the
gods shaped man and woman out of
these sticks, whittling the woman
from the elm and called her Ernla.
Dusting Off an Old One
The honored guest arose to speak,
und was greeted with a cheer that
shook the room. Some way or other,
after that cheer, he never could get
some of the guests quieted down agtiin.
A half dozen or so of them Insisted In
talking loudly among themselves. Tbe
speaker could scarcely make himself
heard. All at once, one wan who
had had more than enough to drink
and had fallen asleep, began to snore
loudly. There were laughs, and the
speaker looked greatly annoyed.
Reaching for his gavel the toastmaster
rapped upon the table for some sem
blance of order. But in his enthusi
asm he rapped entirely too hard and
the gavel broke in two. One piece
bounced across the table and struck
the sleeping member squarely on the
head. He roused a bit, looked about
him, and then shouted:
"Hit me again! I can still hear
him!” —Journal American Medical As
sociation.
Easy to See That
The young man 'had taken his old
grandmother to a picture gallery. She
had never been in such a place before
and accordingly she was very critical
of all that she saw. Together they
wandered round looking at the paint
ings with Interest.
Finally they stopped before a can
vas which showed a man seated in a
high-backed chair. Tacked to the
frame was a small white card.
“What does it say on the card?"
asked the old lady.
“‘A portrait of F. E. Jones, by him
self,’ replied her grandson.
The old lady went closer to the pic
ture.
"What folks these art people must
be!" she muttered. “Any fool can see
that the man Is by himself; there’s no
one else In the picture."
All Things Possible
Nothing gave Mrs. Jones greater
pleasure than to think she had se
cured a bargain.
She came home from a sale one day
and displayed her purchases, one be
ing a brass plate with the name
“O’Halloran” on It.
“What on earth did you buy that
for?” said her husband when he saw
IL
"Well, it was so cheap,” said Mrs.
Jones. “I only gave a shilling for It.
and I’m sure it must have cost two or
three guineas.”
"But why waste a shilling?"
“Oh,” she said, airily, “you never
know how things will come In. For
instance, you might die and I might
marry a man called O’Halloran.” —

Tom Moore’s Visit to
This Country Recalled
Thomas Moore's visit to Niagara
and other parts of Canada in 1804 is
recalled by a Niagara reader of the
Toronto Globe.
“I first heard of it," she says, "when
visiting the house Moore lived in at
Ste. Anne. An old French gentleman
who took us to the house told us that
few* Canadians seemed to know that
Moore had Uved in Canada for many
months and written a number of
poems and songs while here. He
quoted *The Whip-poor-will,' and said
it was written at Niagara. The old
house of . Martin McLellan (who was j
killed while saving the guns May 27.1
1813), now owned by Mr. Usher, was '
the house from ‘which the smoke so
gracefully curled,’ for it was the only
house whose chimneys could be seen
from Fort George.”
Moore’s collected poems contain a
group of his compositions while In |
America, passing through the eastern
states to Buffalo, Niagara falls, Niag- 1
ara, Montreal, Quebec and Halifax.
It is evident from his poems and his
prose introduction that it was not a
very happy visit, though a poem like
"The Canadian Boat Song" Is a wor
thy fruit of his impressions. When he
took ship at Halifax his farewell poem i
referred to "chill Nova Scotia's un- j
promising strand,” and there are ref- ;
erences to what he considered the
crudity of the New world.

How Malays Get Fire
From Compressed Air
The Inhabitants of the Malay penin
sula have a method of obtaining fire
which is probably unique among primi
tive peoples. They utilize the prin- |
clple that the compression of air
raises its temperature, one known to
every man who has ever pumped up a
tire, but one which It is most surpris
ing to find in the possession of a
group of aborigines.
A tiny pump of wood, hardly more
than three Inches In length and with
a bore of about half an inch, is used,
says the New York World. This pump
Is open at one end, closed at the other.
In It fits closely n plunger equipped
with a round knob at one end und a
plston-llke expansion at the other. j
The piston end of the plunger is j
dipped in tinder, which the native car- 1
rles In a moth’s cocoon, which makes !
an absolutely watertight container.
The piston Is placed in the pump and
the knob struck sharply.
The compression of the air raises ;
the temperature to such a degree that
the tinder Is Ignited, and when the .
piston is withdrawn It Is found to be
glowing. The native blows on the
glowing mass, inserts It Intb his ready
laid fuel, and presto! he has bls fire.
This method is quicker by far than
the friction method used by most
primitive races.
Man’s Chief Interest
She had gone out to dinner with her
suitor. She had felt In particularly gay I
and sprightly mood, and had talked, [
she felt, quite entertainingly of this ■
and that. Many had been the amus
ing incidents she had told.
But toward the end of the evening
her suitor seemed very dejected and
unhappy.
“What has been the trouble? Did
anything happen today to make you
blue?” she asked. Surely the evening
had been a success.
“No, the day was a very good one,"
he said.
"But tonight? Haven’t you enjoyed
it?” she asked, surprised.
“Well,” he returned, “you know a
man likes to talk about himself when
he takes n girl out, and you haven’t
given me a chance all evening."
Momentous Question
The following anecdote Is taken
from the “Life of the Rt.-Hon. Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman," by J. A.
Spender. A picture appeared in an
English paper which bore the title, “Is
It Peace or War?” In which Campbell-
Mannerman was photographed talking
with King Edward. Around them the
visitors stood at a respectful distance.
A friend of his said later: “The artist
has hit you off very well.” Campbell-
Bannerman looked at the picture quiz
zically and said: “Would you like to
know what the king was saving to
me?” The friend said he would. “He
wanted to have my opinion whether
halibut was better baked or boiled."
Bird Does Scavenger Work
The adjutant bird Is a voracious
carrion-eating East Indian stork, some
times 6 feet in height and 14 feet in
expanse of wings, with a large bill,
the skin of the head naked, and a
pouchlike appendage on the interior
surface of the neck. The plumage is
black or ash-colored, and furnishes
the marabou-feathers of India. The
adjutant feeds on frogs, fish, reptiles,
etc., and is the scavenger of Indian
towns. It derives its name from the
comical gravity with which it stalks
along.
Turkish Name for Capital
Stambol is the Turkish name of Con
stantinople. It is specifically applied
to that portion of the city—Constan
tinople proper—that lies south of the
Golden Horn, as distinguished from
Christian Constantinople, lying on the
north side. Stambol occupies the site
of ancient Byzantium and contains the
mosque of St. Sophia, the Seraglio and
almost ail the antiquities to be seen in
ihe city. Christian Constantinople is
:>re-emln o ntly a commercial quarter.

WITH COUNTY AGENT BINGHAM
Winter Egg*.
Eggs are high now. There are not
many. That is what makes them high.
They will be hijth this time of year
for a long time because as a rule not
many people will manage their flock
so that they get eggs in the fall and
winter. It is much easier to go ahead,
; let the hens lay when they will, which
usually means in the spring when
plenty of green stuff, bugs, etc., is on
hand.
Feeds.
Your pullets can be brought into
j laying soon by proper feeds if they
are old enough, properly developed,
and are properly housed. A pullet
that is due to lay now and does not
lay, is either underfed, or improperly
housed, or is diseased, as a rule.
It takes nitrogen to make plants
5 grow. It takes nitrogen to make
i pullets, pigs, and other anirfials grow.
It takes nitrogen to make eggs, the
same as if this were growth. It is
growth in sense. Unless that hen is
getting plenty of foods rich in nit
rogen, she cannot lay you any eggs.
Eggs have lots of nitrogen in them,
and the only place they can get it
| from is out of food. There are three
I different classes of rations which
1 hens ought to have this time of year,
a scratch feed, a mash, and green
food or grazing.
Scratch Feed.
Scratch feed is necessary to make
the hen exercise, develop bodily
vigor and health. No hen wdl lay
well which does not exercise well.
I Further a hen cannot consume a
large amount of soft feeds at a time
when she should. A hen can eat
large amounts of scratch feed. A
J good scratch feed is made of equal
I parts of cracked corn, whole wheat,
I and oats may also be added. The
first thing each morning throw your
hens a handful or so of the above
scratch feed, into a good clean litter,
I where they can scratch. Then again
I just before the chickens go on the
' roost at night give them all the
schatch feed their craws will hold,
so that the hen can be making eggs
while she sleeps on the roost.
Math.
The mash is the food rich in nitro
gen, or egg producing material. A
; good mash is made of parts
lof corn meal, wheat shorts, wheat
bran, ground oats, and meat or beef
I scraps. The oats may be omftted,
' and fed as sprouted oats in fall and
winter. The meat scrap is absolute
ly necessary to get good results. You
may substitute one gallon of good
buttermilk per day for each 25 hens,
I in place of the meat scrap, but one
ior the other is necessary. You can
i buy the meat scrap from a grocery
in Hartwell. It pays to buy it.
The above mixture or mash, well
mixed, should be kept in a hopper
or sei/ feeder before the hens at all
times, it is soft and bulky and hens
1 cannot eat much of it at one time,
but they can keep eating it all day.
You cannot expect to get many eggs
unless the hen gets plenty of food,
i because eggs are made of food. It
I is well that a mash feed is soft and
bulky. Otherwise the hen would pack
her craw tight, as she does with
scratch feed at night, and then go
set under the house, until her craw
| got empty. This would make her
I lazy and sluggist, and unhealty. If
she gets a little scratch feed early
in the morning just enough to make
her hungry, she will eat mash all day,
because her craw will not hold much
mash and it quickly passes out of the
craw, leaving her hungry. If she
went to roost with a craw full of
mash only, it would soon be digested,
anti the hen would set with an empty
craw on the roost all night. For this
reason you give the hen all the heavy
scratch feed she can eat just before
night. Do not be afraid to keep good
mash in hoppers or feeders before
the hens at all times. If you do not,
then you are going to be disappointed.
Green Feed*.
Green feeds are necessary for
health. Hens get litle of it in fall
and winter. If you have not already
done so, sow you a big grazing patch
of wheat, oats, and rye. Sow it thick.
Put stable manure on it if you have
it. Do not let your hens go through
until spring without giving you eggs.
Provide scratch feed, mash, and graz
ing. Collards, cabbages and rape
are all good grazing and may be cut
and thrown to the chickens.
Culling.
A culling demonstration was given
at Mr. Asa Brown’s farm last Wednes
day p. m. He has a fine flock of
Reds. But we culled out many hens
and pullets which should never be
fed. You can find lots in your flock
that need to be fattened and sold.
They are worthless for layers. As
for a demonstration on how to cull.
We can snow you in a few minutes
how to tell the good ones from the
bad. After some practice; you can
do fine culling. Do not feed your
good feed to sorry hens, that may
have fine looking feathers, etc.
Civilization and Wells
Behind the drilling of the French
artesian wells in southern Algeria Is.
according to Phillips, the story of the
slow, but usually peaceful, conquest of
an old civilization by a new. Until the
coming of the French in the late ’SO»
of the last century the wells of the
northern Sahara had all been painfully
dug by hand, <fften with indifferent
success. The first French wells, by
good luck, were located in what Is
called the Oued Rlr, where two of the
Sahara’s former rivers had once
joined, and where much of the drain
age from a tract of desert 700 miles
long and from 300 to 400 miles broad
still collected. Tbe first artesian well,
which began to flow in June, 1856, waS
regarded as miraculous by the na
tives.
As the drilling of wells progressed,
new areas were added to cultivation
and settled life In towns took the place
of the old wandering existence for
many inhabitants of the Sahara.

OLD TIME GOOD WILL IS
SHOWN AT WEDDING
(Cherokee News, Gaffney, S. C.)
In this rushing, busy life of ours
we sometimes fear that the old-time
neighborliness and unselfish friend
ship may be dying out. Recently
something occurred in our good town
that cheered our hearts as we were
carried back to the times when peo
ple loved each other and friends took
the time to show ttwir friendship.
We are glad to join in the refrain
‘‘those were good old days" and wo
are frank to say we hope some of
the old time customs may return to
favor. But to our story. Early in
this month Mrs. Emma Jolly, who has
spent much of her life in our com
munity, and M. L. Pilgrim, a prosper
ous fanper from the lower part of
Hart county, Georgia, were married
l «t the bride’s home by Dr. Cecil V.
Cook, pastor of the First Baptist
church, such an announcement causes
little comment, among friends
of the contracting parties, but here
comes the part that attracts atten
tion, Mrs. Jolly has spent a number
of year in the Musgrove Hills settle
ment doing the tasks that came her
way the best she could, smiling when
things did not go well with her and
bearing patiently the ills of life find
ing time to nurse the sick and cheer
the sad of heart, until the settlement
learned to love her and to count on
her when a friend was needed. When
the news, “Mrs. Jolly is going to be
married tonight," was spread around
the village almost every home was
thrilled and when the minister ar
rived for the ceremony the entire
