WAR MADE GREAT CHANGES Audernach, Germany, May IQ, 1010. Dear Ilomefolks: “I hope you have received the cards of c scene* along the Rhine which 1 sent you the first of the week. This is the most wonderful scenery I have ever seen. is nothing in America that can touch it for picturesque settings, have scenery that is just as pretty and we have mountains that are just as grand, and we have rivers that are just as beau tiful, but we haven't the age old ruin* aloug our rivers. We haven’t the w derful, beautiful monuments that sit every hill and we haven't the wonderful hitecture of medieval and ancient times. My trips aero** tbe ocean, then through France, and now to the Rhine, has been worth counties* .sums to me. I would not have missed it for anything in the world—but I would not care to go through it ail again. 1 am changed a greut deal. You would hardly recognize me if yoa could see me today. I am burned brown by the sun— I am straighter au heavier thuu when you lust saw me nud I am beginning to show that I am nearing middle age. There is a tired expression iu my eyes at night und a continual scowl on my face that just won’t come off, and my temples gradually turning gray. I can hardly realize that I am 28 year* old and that the past eighteen months of foreign travel and hell of war are more than u dream. But they have made their impression me. No man could go through it ail without being changed. When I get home in July 1 will have a record of which I can be righteously proud. I Innded in France n private and will return to America an officer and there ha* not been even a reprimand against that record. But it took a little nerve to do it. I will be frank with you, there were times when I regretted hnviug enlisted but all that is forgotten now and I glad that I have had nerve enough to try for miue from the ranks. You may be surprised at the tone of this letter, but I can’t help it, for I am homesick tonight. I am homesick for tbe homefolks. During the war I would not allow myself to become homesick, for I had the responsibility of keeping my men ready for the fight. But now, as the time draws nearer, and nearer for me tc turn, I am giving up more and more to my feelings und listening to the “Song of the Lorelei” tonight hag made me want to hear again the “Song of the Chatta hoochee," I just can’t look at all this beauty and wonder without wishing you all could sec it with me. Perhaps the day will come when this will be realized. I must close for I am on duty tonight as Officer of the Guard and I must in spect my sentries before I go to Peace has not yet been signed and we are in the enemies’ country. LIEUT. DANIEL A.

They are more than that. To the person with imagination, the cold figures are pregnant with life and illustrate the romance of our huge national wealth. The United States haa only 6 per cent of the world's population and 7 per cent of the world’s land, yet the country pro duces as follows: 20 per cent of the world's supply of gold. 40 per cent of the world's supply ot sil ver. 40 per cent of the world’s supply iron and steel. 25 per cent of the world’s supply of wheat. 40 per cent of the world’s supply of lead. 50 per cent of the world's supply of sine. 52 per cent of the world's supply of coal. 00 per cent of the world’s supply of aluminum. 00 per cent of the world’s supply of copper. 00 per cent o fthe world’s supply of cotton. 00 per cent of the world’s supply of 75 per cent of the world's supply of corn. 85 per cent of the world’s supply ot automobiles.

For these who attempt using poison for control of the boll weevil the follow ing instructions are issued: Use " calcium arsenate and apply it with either a Monarch Duster or a Champion Duster No. 2. Directions. 1. —Start dusting when the infection is very noticeable. When twenty squares out of every two hundred counted as you come to them are punctured by the weevil it is time to begin. 2. —It requires enough calcium nate to thoroughly cover the plants with thin dust, about five pounds to the sere, each application. 3. —Apply dust often enough so that upon examination of three hundred squares counted as you come to them in the field not more than seventy-five will be punctured by the weevil. This will require one application from every seven to fifteen days. 4. —-The dust should be applied when there is little wind, and either late in the evening, or early in the morning, heavy rain falling on the dusted plants within twenty-four hoars after applica tion will wash it off and it should be im mediately repeated. A rain falling twen ty-four hours after application will not readily wash the dust from the cotton. Caution. Calcium arsenate Is very poisonous to livestock and to people. Do not let live stock get into the field where it has beea used. Muzzle mules working in duste] fields if they are inclined to eat the cot ton. Keep poison away from children and out of feed barns. Workmen hand ling tbe poison should wash face and hands thoroughly before eating. Do not wash overalls and leave poison where cattle or hogs can get to the water. Keep in a dry place. Poison cannot he dusted if allowed to become damp and doggy. A. M. DICKSON. County Agent IMPORTANT INFORMATION SIRED.
