FARMERS BEY REGISTERED BULLS Herd of Shorthorns Bought To Boost Cattle * Raising. Albany, Ga., June 28.—Sixty nine head of registered Short horn bulls and cows are being shipped out from Albany to pur chasers from all over Georgia who attended the convention and sale conducted by the American Shorthorn Cattle Breeders’ Asso ciation in this city, on Wednes day, which was attended by sev eral hundred farmers and stock raisers. At this most propitious time for beginning the raising of reg istered cattle, Georgia farmers in vested nearly $12,000 in breed ing stock, the average price paid for the cattle being sl7l per head. Many of the farmers who came to Albany stated that they have such large crops of grain and forage this year that they decided this year was the best to start cattle raising. The convention and sale, which were held under the auspices of the Georgia Chamber of Com merce, by the Albany Chamber of Commerce and the agricultural department of the Central of Georgia railway, with the active assistance of the bureau of ani mal husbandry of the state col lege of agriculture, was highly successful. Among the speakers were President Charles J. Haden, of the Georgia Chamber of Com merce; Prof. L. A. Niven, editor of Southern Farming, and Prof. Milton P. Jarnagin, in charge of the department of animal hus bandry of the State College of Agriculture, who, with T. G. Chastain, agriculturist of the Central of Georgia railway in spected all of the cattle before they were brought to Albany and put up at auction. Only 124 Years Old But Walks with Cane. Jerry Neal, a colored resident of Cave Spring, Ga., has just celebrated the 124th anniversary of his birthday. So far as known, he is the oldest person in Geor gia, if not in the United States, having documents which estab lish his age beyond question. It is stated that he remembers the war of 1812 and has been married three times. The juxta position of these statements may or may not be significant. It may be intended to indicate that the dimness of the long vista of Jer ry’s life and the vicissitudes that enter into 124 years of existence may have caused him to confuse the the combat with the mother country with some of the domes tic infelicities in which the moth-1 ers of his 43 children had a part. But, be that as it may, an in teresting portion of a statement regarding Jerry’s birthday is that while he is “well and hearty,” he uses a cane when walking. One seldom collides with so strik ing an illustration of the truth of the declaration that “into each life some rain must fall.” Here is a man who has reached the hale, hearty and exuberant age of 124 years upon whom the hand of fate an infirmity has fallen so heavily that he must use a cane when he walks. Get us hope that no such fate befalls us or our friends. —Industrial Index. Proving His Case. A man who had received a jury notice pleaded deafness as his excuse for not attending. “I really am deaf,” he said to the clerk who was enrolling the names. “Prove it,” said the clerk. The man hesitated, then his face brightened as an organ com menced play in the street outside. “Can you hear that organ?”: he asked. “Yes,” replied the clerk. “Well, I can’t,” replied the man, triumphantly.

The Great Clock in Strassburg Cathedral. Strassburg, the capital of Al sace-Lorraine, which is a crucial center of strategy in the western area of the war, is remarkable for the great clock of its cathedral. This clock, which is twenty feet in height, was made by Jean Baptiste Schwilgue in 1842. Be sides various astronomical devices indicating true solar time, it has a great planetarum in which the revolutions of the planets are rep resented, so that the relative positions of each at any time can be seen at a glance. Then on a platform are mova ble figures representing the four ages of man. At the first quarter of an hour a child strikes the bell with a rattle; a youth in the garb of a hunter strikes it with an ar row at the half hour; at the third quarter a warrior strikes it with his naked sword; and at the fourth quarter an old man strikes it with his crutch. Then a figure of Death appears. On the highest platform is a natural sized figure of Christ, and when Death strikes the hour at noon the twelve Apostles pass before the feet of their Master, bowing as they do' so. As Peter passes, a large cock perched on one side flaps his wings, ruffles his neck, and gives three times a loud and perfectly natural crow. President Wilson’s Party Is Lost In Hills. Windsor, Vt., June 29. Presi-j dent Wilson and members of his family, out for an afternoon au tomobile ride became lost today I in the foothills of the Green Mountains, and for nearly five! hours were riding through dense i forests, up and down steep in clines, part of the time in a driv ing rain. The President was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, Miss Margaret Wilson, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, Dr. Cary T. Grayson and several se cret service men. The chauffeurs of the two cars carrying the par ty were from Washington and the President knew the country as well as any one with him. At one place Mr. Sayre leaned out and spoke to a farmer. “Where does this road go?” he j inquired. “I’ve been living here all my| life, and it never went any where,” replied the man, while the President tried to preserve his gravity.

"Managing a railroad is quite differ ent from managing a government where the money is raised by taxa tion. When the expenditures, for | good* reasons or otherwise, increase, taxes can be equally increased. The railroads, while servants of the pub lic, cannot raise money with such ease and facility. The railroads must keep their expenditures within their incomes because while they have some control over their expenditures they have almost no control over their Incomes, their rates being fixed by public authorities. "There is not a railway manager in the country today who Is not fearful that under the press of Increasing de mands the transportation systems of the country will, in a few years, break down, unless the railroads are allowed to earn larger funds wherewith to build it up. There are vast sections of the country, especially in the West, where more railroads are needed and they cannot be built unless the rail * ways raise new capital. "People invest money in order to make money, and they are skeptical as to whether they can make money by Investing in concerns that are dealt with stringently and unfairly. Hail road securities must be made more ' attractive to Invite investments, and in order that they may be made more attractive, the roads must be allowed earnings that will enable them to meet the increased capital charges.” • WVVVVTV* TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTI fTVTTTTVWVVTVVVTTWVTWr* ► 4| ► 4 [Just a Word] I to You? ! ► * ► < ► * 1 There comes a time when you need \ p. 4 E something in II anlware and Furniture. 3 : 3 ► It may he a Pocketknife or a Window « J Shade, or it may be a Hundred Dollar « ► 4 £ purchase.
