THE LAST WORD
Jean Louis Meissonier, one of the
most celebrated painters of France,
owned a dog of which he was ex
ceedingly fond. One day the ani
mal broke one of its legs, and Meis
sonier, agonized by such a misfort
une to his beloved pet, determined
to entrust his chances of recovery to
no other than the great Paris sur- i
geon, Nelaton. So he telegraphed |
in hot haste to the eminent doctor, !
urging him to come at once to his j
residence at Bougival, but not ven
turing to declare the real cause of
his panic. Nelaton, thinking that
one of the artist’s family must be
in need of him, was not long in ar
riving. Meissonier met him in the
drawing-room and frantically plung
ed into conversation with him on
various topics. He who had paint
ed many battles and won many tro
phies knew not bow to face this
present affair! At length Nelaton,
realizing the value of his own time,
asked to see the patient and the
embarrassed artist requested a serv
ant to bring him in. Howling with
pain the wounded beast was borne
into the room upon a magnificent
cushion. Whereupon Meissonier, for
getting all else, cried out beseech
ingly to the famous surgeon, “Save
him, illustrious master! Save him!’’
Nelaton, prince of surgical science
as he was, employed all his skill in
dressing the fracture and the animal
swiftly recovered. The artist short
ly afterwards wrote to the great
man, expressing his undying grati
tude for his kindness and request
ing the amount of his bill. Nelaton
sent a courteous reply, saying that
when Meissonier next came to Paris
he could call upon him and there
they could settle the debt. This
Meissonier soon did and was pro
ducing his pocketbook crammed with
banknotes when Nelaton exclaimed
“Stop, sir! You are a painter, are
you not?” When the other answer
ed affirmatively the surgeon went
on, “Well, just put a coat of gray
paint on those two panels which the
cabinet makers have finished, and
We’ll call the debt settled!”
It was a delicate revenge, and one
which Meissonier appreciated to the
full. He went to work at once and
at the end of a few days had, with
amazing dexterity, painted two of
his most exquisite pictures on the
panels!
One of the draftees from down
in Arkansas wrote home to his
mother: “Dear Ma, send me another
suspender, all the boys down here
are wearing two of them.”

COCOANUT PEACHES WITH
ORANGE CUSTARD
Fruit milk custards will lend a
sparkle to your menus and give the
valuable minerals which your daily
ration should include. Halves of can
ned peaches baked with melted but
ter, topped with cocoanut and serv
ed with orange custard will give a
lift to your meal. And it is small
trouble.
Any type of fruit may be substi
tuted for the canned peaches—an
apple baked with butter, brown sug
ar and nuts, or apricots or prunes.
6 halves of canned peaches
1-4 cup melted butter
1-3 cup shredded cocoanut
Place the peach halves, cut side i
down, in a baking pan and pour but
ter over each. Sprinkle with cocoa
nut and bake in a hot oven (400 de
grees F.) for about 12 minutes, or
until cocoanut is lightly browned.
Serve with the following sauce:
2 cups milk
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2-3 cup powdered sugar
1-4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dash of nutmeg
1-4 teaspoon grated orange rind
Scald milk in top of double boil
er. Combine eggs, sugar and salt.
Stir in about one-third of the hot
milk, then add mixture to remaining
hot milk and cook over hot water
until mixture thickens and will coat
the spoon. Remove from heat; add
nutmeg, vanilla and orange rind.
Serve hot with cocoanut peaches.
Care must be taken not to over
cook the custard or it will separate.
Remove from the heat and from the
THE HILLS AHEAD
The hills ahead look hard and steep
and high;
Often we behold them with a sigh;
But as we near them, level grows
the road.
We find on every slope, with every
load
The climb is not so steep, the top so
far—
{The hills (ahead look higher than
they are.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN
UFD BLOfIM f crt^zer
' \ Bed Bloom
That Difference Means
MORE COTTON AND
CORN PER ACRE
No other fertilizer made like RED BLOOM. We
use different materials and compound it dif
ferently. That difference makes your cotton
step off faster in the Spring, pull stronger
through the Summer, hold out longer in the Fall
and matures the bolls better—therefore more
cotton.
The farmers who use it vouch for every state
ment we make.
Dacula, February 12, 1941.
My Dear Mr. Woodruff: ... T v
Last year I used a fertilizer made in Atlanta. I had one
patch of select land .9 of an acre by government measure and
made 1947 pounds of seed cotton. My son, not 21 years old.
made one and a half bales per acre on his entire crop He
used your 4-8-4 Red Bloom fertilizer. His cotton had blooms
first and stayed green longer causing the bolls to mature bet-
This was our first year on this farm, we found it washed
and run down but we brought it back the first year for a
rood crop. We will want nothing but Red Bloom this year.

Hoschton, February 13, 1941.
My Dear Mr. Woodruff:
I have used your Red Bloom fertilizer for three years.
I find it almost doubles the yield of cotton. It is far ahead
of other fertilizer that I have used in the past. I find Red
Bloom will keep the cotton green without side dressing. I
made more cotton with your Red Bloom and no side dressing
than Ido with other fertilizers and side dressing. I will want
it again this year. j F ENGLAND .

There never comes a hill, a task, a

But as we near it, easier the way.
This Is Season of
Tornadoes But The
Twisters Are Missing
Atlanta.—This is the peak of the
Georgia tornado season, but so far
this year there has not been a single
twister.
Don’t let that confuse you, how
ever, says Meteorologist George W.
Mindling. Sometimes the state goes
through an entire year without one.
Asa matter of record, there have
been sixteen such years since 1883.
Mindling’s twister records go no fur
ther back than 1884.
In the 57 years there have been
213 Georgia tornadoes reported. The
greatest number of these were in
March, with April a fairly close sec
ond.
“The fact that there had been no
tornado so far is practically meaning
less," Mindling declared. “We might
yet have a flurry that would run this
up into one of the big tornado years.
"The 1936 tornadoes at Cordele
and Gainesville were in April, you
remember.
"But of course the Albany torna
do, which was the most destructive,
came in February.
Appropos to this, Mindling observ
ed that a twister’s importance is ra
ted on its havoc, which is hardly fair
to the tornado. A really big, well
blown tornado, might whirl (itself
out unnoticed if nothing of material
importance got in its way.
The tornado-less years, in case
you’re interested: 1890, 1891, 1896,
1900, 1901, 1905, 1907, 1910, 1911,
1916, 1922, 1925, 1926, and 1931.
The monthly totals: January 8,
February 37, March 77, April 62,

coincidence), August 1, September

Last tornado reported was at
Baldwin November 1. A barn and
some chickens were whiffed around.
Weather Man Mindling totaled
up the figures for February and de
cided Saturday it was Georgia’s
coldest on an average since 1902.
In fact, he said, only the Febru
aries of 1902 and 1895 had lower
mean temperatures than that of 1941
—throughout the history of weather
recording.
The low average did not result
from periods of unusual cold, but
from almost uninterrupted, though
moderate, deficiency in temperature.
For instance, Atlanta had only three
days in the 28 above normal, and on
the warmest day the excess was only
three degrees.
The monthly mean temperature
established from records of 68 sta
tions was 45.4 degrees at Bruns
wick and lowest 34.9 at Blairsville.
At February end, most vegetation

There will be no true freedom

out the fear of God and love to your
fellow-citizens.—Charles Kingsley.
Truth brings the elements of lib

of God.—W. L. Bowles.
though it is, wouldn't be big enough.
Not for the pressing demands of our
dynamic State in times like these.
The plant had been designed so that
other generating units could be add
ed at some time in the future —when
the need came. It came before the
first unit was finished.
p Work on the second unit—also of
60,000 horse power will begin at
once. It will go ahead just as fast as
the availability of men and mate
rials permits.
In Georgia there will be no
shortage of power!

ITEMS TO SEND
NEW SOLDIERS
Chaplain W. V. Morgan, of the
13th Engineers, has prepared a six
point plan for enabling the “folks
back home” to make their soldier
boy in camp happy.
The six suggestions are:
1— Mail is a big thing in the life
of a young man in camp. He should
receive a letter or two every week.
2 Laundry is a difficult problem.
Send a handkerchief or a pair of
socks now and then.
3 A little candy now and then is
great. In oiled paper.
4 A soldier cannot always get
to a postoffice. Send a book of
stamps.
5 Send the home town paper.
6 Resolve to send a little pack
age every week. Send one thing at
a time—tobacco, razor blades,
camphor ice for chapped lips.
FIVE MILLION BIBLES
For many years the Gideon Bible
in hotel rooms has been a distinc
tive American institution. In no
other country, so far as we know,
has an organization undertaken such
a task, to make certain that every
traveler-who goes to his hotel room
in a strange city shall find there the
Book of Books.
Now the Gideons are undertaking
to see to it that every soldier and
sailor shall have the same privilege.
They plan to distribute '5,000,000
Bibles to soldiers and sailors during
the next four years.
Who shall say that this is tho
least part of America’s armament?
It is difficult to laugh at your
own expense when you are broke.
