I would also see the girls’ apartments, Their pots and pans of all assort ments, Their stoves and aprons, all I would see. They would make hot chocolate and serve it to me. Everything in the department would be nice and clean, Under the instruction of Miss McKean. To all of the dinners I would be in vited, And when I’d get the invitation I would be delighted, Then I would go in my full dress suit, 1 would pin on a flower, to make me look cute. Now the word "If” is always in the way. (But on the Board I expect to be some day. —R. A. S. Dinner For the Board. The dinner given Tuesday night to tlie Board of Education was a delight ful affair. , The dining room in the Domestic Science Department, where the din ner was given, was very attarctive in its decorations of red and green. The colors were carried out very effec tively in the place cards and decora tions, The center piece was a lovely bowl of red carnations and asparagus ferns. Jonquils were used in other parts of the room. The place-cards, made by the two seventh grades, were designs in red cherries. The earlier part of the evening was in a faculty meeting in the main build ing, and at seven o’clock a delightful supper was serv.ed by the girls of the senior class of the High School, under the instruction of Miss Nina McKean Those present were: Mr. J. E Mathis, Mr. J. T. Taylor, Dr. C. P Davis, Dr. Burrows. Mr. E. C. Parker Mr. L. G. Council, Mr. Lee Allen, Mr E. B. Everett, Mr. T. F. Gatewood, Mr. J E. Hightower, Mr. Cranston Wil liams, Mr. T. E. Bolton. The boys of the 7th-l went down to THE AMERICUS DAILY TIME3-RECORDER Miss Nina McKean’s Domestic Science department last Tuesday to decorate the room for the "turkey dinner” giv en to the Board of Education. After carrying chairs and vases of flowers t;> the dining room we put up bamboo ! vine over the doors ond windows. : There w’ere not enough bamboo so three of the boys went after more. 'Later when they came back Norman McLeod said: "The boat capsized but it didn’t plumb sink. When the teach er saw Ed Everett’s shoes and stock mgs were wet, she asked one of the boys what was the matter, and he said, “He got so scared that he fell out of the boat and got wet up to his knees.” At the teachers’ meeting Tuesday, Miss Wheatley had on exhibit a few drawings and the stencil work bags made by the girls of the sixth grades. The designs were all original and most of them very attractive. Monday we went to see our pictures at the Opera House. They were all real good. We certainly were inter ested in seeing ourselves, for they sole over a thousand tickets. Miss McKean cooked “a Devil’s food cake” for the board’s dinner. All eyes were turned upon that cake you can bet and all had the same thought, “Oh, how I wish I w-ere on the Board.” One girl was standing around the table with her mouth watering for some of the cake batter, pretending she w’as trying to open a salt cellar. Finally Miss McKean gave the pan to her, and she went away licking the pan trium phantly. DID YOU KNOW THAT: Sidney Lanier was born in Macon, £a„ Feb. 2, 1842? ♦ * * At nineteen Lanier enlisted with the first Southern volunteers? * * * For his bravery he was three times offered an officer’s commission but he would not take it because his mother left him in charge of his brother in the ranks besides him? * * • He was or.? of the leading flute players in the United States? ♦ ♦ ♦ He played the flute in the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra? * * * He wrote one of his most beautiful and hopeful poems, “Sunrise,” at the time when he had not the strength to raise a cup of water to his mouth? * * * He died in 1881 in a tent in the Cor olina hills? Wednesday Miss Wynne was sick and Mrs. Hightower taught us. Under her direction we memorized the fol lowing creed, written by Mr. M. L. Brittan, the state school superintend ent: My Creed. I am to be a citizen of Georgia, and the United States —a great common- wealth of the world’s greatest lands. It is my duty to make an honest living and my right to be healthy and happy. It is my privilege also to help others to secure these benefits. I will work and play fair. I will be polite always 11 old people, and kind to the unfor tunate, and to my little brethren of the field and of the air. To the best of my ability I expect to make Georgia a clean, beautiful, law-abiding state for this is the best service I can Bender to the land that has given me birth. ATLANTA WANTS A VISIT FROM WILSON ATLANTA. Ga., Fev. s.—Telegraph ic invitations backed by all the people and public organizations of Atlanta, and which will later be seconded by a special delegation to Washington, are being sent to President Woodrow Wil son urging him to come to Atlanta in the near future to tell of his prepared ness plan. Colonel Walter P. Andrews, presi dent of the Young Men’s Democratic League, Mayor James G. Woodward, the governor, the Chamber of Com merce, and all other civic organiza tions are joining in the invitation. Colonel Andrews, who was one of the managers of the Wilson campaign in Georgia four years ago, is hopeful that the president will accept the invitation. Mell R. Wilkinson, former president of the Chamber of Commerce will head the delegation which will go to Wash ington next week to present in person to the president the invitation of At lanta and the South. Atlantians are tremendously inter ested in the president’s preparedness plans, and it is believed that by pre senting them in person he will be able to obtain the united backing of the South in putting his plans through con gress. FAMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS By Being Constantly Supplied With Thedford’s Black-Draught. McDuff. Va.—"l suffered for several /ears,” says Mrs. j. B. Whittaker, ol (his place, "with sick headache, and stomach trouble. Ten years ago a friend told me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, which 1 did, and 1 found it to be the best family medi cine for young and old. 1 keep Black-Draught on hand all the time now, and when my children feel a little bad, they ask me for a dose, and il does them more good than any medicine they ever tried. We never have a long spell of sick ness in our family, since we commenced ising Black-Draught.” Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely vegetable, and has been found to regu ate weak stomachs, aid digestion, re lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea, jeadache, sick stomach, and similar symptoms. It has been in constant use for more |han 70 years, and has benefited more tian a million people. Your druggist sells and recommends Back-Draught. Price only 25c. Get a tackage to-i y. N . c I2S ' Commissioner Price Has Good Advice to Formers As before stated, the question of fer tilizers is giving this department no little trouble. Numerous inquiries are being received regarding materials of an inferior character. Some of these materials are being offered in away calculated to mislead the farmers of Georgia. The department is, of course, an swering all inquiries as promptly as possible, but I take this method of putting before the public some of the more important questions raised. For example, we have had many inquiries as to the use of “lye,” usually sold for making soap, as a substitute for pot ash. Some appear to have the idea that this contains potash, which may be used in the place of potash salts for fertilizing purposes. This material is not potash, but contains caustic soda, and upon many of the containers is so marked. These lyes contain no potash whatever, and moreover are worthless as a fertilizer. This infor mation is given for the benefit general ly of the farmers of Georgia. Many questions have been asked the department as to the use of lime stone and ground phosphate rock. In this connection, I am quoting the opinion of the state chemist, Dr, R. E, Stallings: “Replying to communications ask ing information as to the use of ground phosphate rock as a fertilizer some manufacturers of this material have been making great claims for it, stating that it is quickly available to plants. All the phosphoric acid pres ent in ground phosphate rock is in soluble and it contains no available phosphoric acid. “This material should be used only on lands that contain a considerable amount of organic or vegetable matter, or with a large amount of manure. In this way, and by proper cultivation, considerable benefits may be eventu a'ly be derived from its use. “Those who use ground phosphate rock on the average Georgia soil, which is deficient in organic matter, and ex pevt immediate results will be disap pointed.” I particularly want to warn the farmers of Georgia against using sub stitutes for potash, unless they really know what these substitutes are and what they will do. We have a natural product in Georgia which all farmers have been using for many years with good results, namely, cotton seed meal. The mixture of cotton seed meal and acid phosphate in proper proportions makes a good fertilizer, but naturally under present conditions the farmer is justly alarmed at the prices of these products which are unprecedentedly high. But, considering the High prices of these products which are unprece dentedly high. But, considering the high price of cotton seed and that o f acid caused by the European war, we can readily understand why this prod uct costs more than it did before. Every farmer knows there is some potash in cotton seed meal. It may be gathered from the state chemist’s as sertion published in the department’s fertilizer bulletins, that the average amount of potash in cotton seed meal is 1.8 per cent. Therefore, in calcu lating the value of cotton seed meal, it is necessary to multiply the nitrogen content by the value of nitrogen ruling for the season, namely, $4,00 per unit this year, as against $3.80 last year, ar d adding to this result $13.50 to cover the value of 1.8 per cent, of pot ash calculated last season at $1.50 per unit, and this year at not less than sb.oo and 2.7 per cent phosphoric acid calculated last year at 70 cents per unit and this year at SI.OO. Standard meal contains 6.18 per cent, nitrogen, equivalent to 7 1-2 per cent, ammonia, while high grade meal must contain rot less than 6.60 per cent, nitrogen, effuivalent to 8 per cent, ammonia. Tking this average content of cot ton seed meal, you can clearly see from this calculation that the chemist con siders cotton seed meal at the present prices of the ingredients which it con tains, worth something like $35.00 per ton for fertilizing purposes. This information is given to you, Mr. Farmer, for such assistance as it may render you in the matter of choosing the fertilizer you will use this year. You will understand that this depart ment cannot advertise or recommend any particular commodity or material. Our duty is simply to place before you the facts. It is exceedingly gratifying to this department to receive so many encour aging reports from the bacteria fur nished to many farmers over the state for the inoculation of leguminous crops. Many have inquired as to whether or not this bacteria will be furnished at 25 cents per acre this year. I am glad to say that the price will be no higher and those wishing the bacteria can obtain it from this de partment by mailing to us either post office money order, check or cash.

J. D. PRICE, Commissioner of Agriculture of Geor gia. One Fellow Is Very Busy Man ATLANTA. Fev. 5.—J. W. Chancey, an enterprising young man, is charged with working a mail order scheme while in jail here so successfully that from his cell he managed to swindle numbers of southern merchants. The forging of checks while in jail is also charged to him. ■ , THE BEST PROOF Given by an Americus citizen. Doan’s Kidney Pills were used— they brought benefit. The story was told to Americus res idents. Time has strengthened the evidence. Has proven the result lasting. The testimony is home testimony— The proof convincing. It can be investigated by Americus residents. A. C. Alexander, grocer, 712 Spring St., Americus, says: ‘‘My back caused me much suffering and I was hardly able to perform my duties ®n account of the pains. The action of my kidneys w-as very irregular and too frequent, causing me to get up a number of times at night. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon relieved me of the pain in my back and the action of my kidneys be came regular. The pains left and 1 have never felt them since.” (Statement given March 18, 1910.) A Permanent Cure. MORE THAN FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr. Alexander said: ‘‘Doan’s Kidney Pills made a cure for me which has proven permanent and lasting now and n>y back and kidneys don’t bother me a bit.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills-*- the same that Mr. Alexander has twice publicly rec ommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props..» Buffalo, N. Y. advt,
