We thank Thee, Lord for blessings
manfold,
•For mercies many and for love untold
For all the comforts that can sweeten
life,
For freedom from contentions and
from strife;
We thank Thee for the rich, abundant
yields
The earth has born us from the fruit
ful fields
The teeming harvests, gladly garner
ed in,
The bursting barn, the overflowing
bin;
We thank Thee, Lord, the smiling
goddess, Peace,
Abides with us —while wars in other
lands increase—
And Plenty, like a hov’ring spirit near.
Pervades the land and lends a kindly
cheer;
We sing the “Harvest Home’’ with
hearty zest,
Count all our gifts among the richest,
best—
We bless the Hand that doth these
boons bestow,
We “praise the Lord, from whom all
blessings flow.”

TREATISE ON RYE
CULTURE PRINTED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 3'.—The
tendency in the last few years toward
the spread of rye culture in the United
States has led the Department of Ag
riculture to issue a treatise on the
subject which has just been published
and is being distributed to farmers
asking for it. The United States last
year produced its record crop of rye,
harvesting 49,000,000 bushels. Ameri
can production is only three per cent
of the world’s production. The De
partment experts point out that there
are many excellent reasons for grow
ing rye on the farm even though in
most localities it is less profitable as a
grain crop than wheat. Rye is hardier
and can therefore be grown as a win
ter grain in cold, exposed places. It
will do well on sandy, poor, or acid
land and may be sown later than
wheat. It is attacked by fewer in
sects and diseases than wheat, pro
duces a valuable straw, requires less
fertilizer, and being earlier is better
as a forage crop. In some sections
production value per acre from rye ac
tually exceeds that of heat. This was
true in the five-year period from 1910
to 1914 in South Carolina, Alabama.
Texas, Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota.
JAPANESE MAKE PROFIT OF
SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS
PEKING. Nov. 3. —During the six
months from .Inly to December, 1915,
Japanese firms are said to have realiz
ed a profit of sixty million dollars sil
ver from Chinese brass cash bought
in the northern provinces of the re
public. This cash is the old fashioned
Chinese money, with square holes in
the center. Much of it is very old and
its value as a circulating medium is so
far below the market value of the met

at least two hundred per cent in buy-!

Recovering The Wild Youths
Is Anothe r Hard Duty Os U. S.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—Of the:
many unexpected duties the United
States has found thrust upon it by j
the word war one of the strongest is
that of rescuing adventurous boys I
who enlist in the European armies. |
There have been more than a thous
and such cases since the war began,'
and even now letters praying for the
delease of young soldiers of fortune
pour into the state department at the |
rate of 50 a day. It has been neces-l
sary to assign an official to give spec
ial attention to the subject.
The story almost always is the sane. ■
The youngster, generally between six
teen and twenty, suddenly disappears
and is next haerd from when he
writes home from Canada or England
that he has enough of war and wants
to come home.
Then follows an almost tornado-like
correspondence in which officials, pa-

\ KOREA IS COMING
BACKJN TRADING
SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 3.—Official in
vestigation shows that Korea has
gradually recovered from the blow
dealt her trade by the European war
last year. The’export of cow hides
shows a great increase, due to the
large demand for them by Japan to
meet the large order for army boots
from Russia. In Korea, some two mil
lion yen worth of boots and ammuni
tion pouches were exported to Russia.
Partly as material for the chemical
industry that has developed in Japan
to reach markets monopolized by Ger
many, and partly to meet the general
demand in the market owing to the
shortage of stock, the export from
Korea of rice, linseed, tallow, cotton,
alum, gold ore, coal and dye stuffs
greatly Increased.
A decrease was generally seen in ar
ticles imported from Europe. a re
markable falling off being witnessed
in the gures for wheat flour, condensed
milk, satled herring, alcohol, aniline
dye stuffs, iron and dynamite. Imports
from the mother country, however, in
creased and Japanese goods took the
place of ofreign articles especially
wheat flour, iron nails and plate gloss.
The deduction is that Korea will
more and more depend on Japan for
her necessities.

C HINESE MINISTER WHO RE
SIGNED REPORTED DEAD
PEKING, Nov. 3.—lmmediately fol
lowing the announcement that Wel
lington Koo had offered his resignation
as Chinese minister in Washington,
cany Chinese newspapers printed an
announcement that Mr. Koo was dead
This was immediately denied by the
foreign office, but the report is still go
ing the rounds of the Chinese press
and promises to have nearly as wide
circulation as the rumor that President
Yuan Shi-kai was not dead. " -t—-

816 MB SHORTAGE
SHOWN ON FIGURES
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 3.—Not only
was the shortage of care that existed
on October 1 the greatest on that date
in the history of the country, but the
proportionate shortage of coal cars
and gondolas was very high, according
to figures which have been called to
the attention of the Georgia railroad
commossion in connection with the
present coal shortage, caused by the
shortage of cars in the South, and
throughout the country.
These figures show that the largest
shortage in recent years was on Oc
tober 1, 1907, when there was a net
shortage of 58,276 cars.
In that year, however, 43,136 cars of
the net shortage were box cars, leav
was 61,130 cars, and of that number
only 33,016 were box cars, and 19,872
and gondolas.
On October 1, 1916, the net shortage
ing a shortage of only 15,140 coal cars
were coal cars and gondolas.
These figures show conclusively the
reason why the coal dealers and users
are feeling the effects of the shortage
with an especially hard pinch, and this
shortage of coal is not confined to
Georgia or the South, but is general
throughout the country. The shortage
of coal cars and gondolas is caused by
the enormous shipments of coal at
fancy prices to manufacturing con
cerns engaged in rush orders of war
supplies, and caused also by the uns
usually large shipments of ore to the
steel and iron plants.
As for the shortage of box cars,
railroad officials explain that it is
caused by the exceptionally heavy vol
ume of traffic moving on all trunk
lines, and especially by the conges
tion of loaded and empty cars in the
yards at seaports.
Shippers in Georgia are being urg
ed by the railroads to but out unnec
essary delays in movement, to load
cars to their maximum capacity, and
in releasing cars at the earliest pos
sible moment after they have been un
loaded.

lican candidates leads President Wil
son in electoral votes by two.

two hundred and sixty-six electoral
votes being necessary to a choice.

YOUNG PILCHER RUNTS
SIGHT Bl ACCIDENT
Harvey Lee Pilcher, the eleven-year
old son. of R. E. Pilcher, who resides
seven miles northwest of Americus, is
in imminent danger of losing his left
eye, the result of a regrettable acci
dent which occurred two weeks ago.
The young boy was “popping” a whip
the tip of the instrument struck
him squarely in, the eye, inflicting a
very painful injury, which has failed
to respond satisfactorily under subse
quent treatment. Dr. Henry B. Allen,
who examined young Pilcher’s injury
and has since been in charge of the
case today expressed the opinion that
the sight will soon be lost entirely,
but the hope is yet retained that it will
not be necessary to entirely remove
the orb. The friends of Mr. Pilcher
and of his young son, as well, will all
regret to learn of the unfortunate ac
cident of which young Pilcher was the
victim.
POLICE TO PROTECT GRASS
PLOTS AND SQUARES IN FUTURE
SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 3.—From now
on the Savannahian who takes a near
cut across the grass plots and squares
and parks had better keep his weather
eye peeled for a policeman. The park
and tree commission is about to put a
stop to probably unconscious of
fenses against the grass. For some
time the civic organizations have co
operated with the commission to use
moral suasion to keep people off tha
grass, but the average Savannahian is
too busy to go around the squares or
through them to reach his destina
tion. Now special officers are to be
stationed in the parks to protect them.
