THEY WANT A CHANCE, NOT CHARITY;
HELP UNCLE SAM GIVE THEM A START

Two crippled soldiers being taught telegraphy in one of the
reconstruction hospitals maintained by the government.
“We don’t want cliarity; give us a
chance!”
From every reconstruction hospital |
In the country comes this insistent j
plea from thousands of wounded sol- 1
diers. Although shattered in body, the j
spirit that sustained them at Chateau
Thierry, Argonne and Metz remains
unbroken.
They do not want something for j
nothing; they are willing to work for ;
all they get.
The Government has inaugurated re
construction institutions at various
points throughout the country where 1
the blind, the armless and legless are
taught useful trades and professions.
While the soldier and sailor is un- |
dergoing vocational training, he is sup
ported by the Government. Should he
have dependents, they also receive aid.
Five possible steps follow a wound- 1
ed soldier’s decision to take the vo- !
cational training course. They are: i
decision by the disabled man as. to
his course of training; the training it
self, which is to tit him for a definite
occupation; trial employment in that
occupation; placement after trial in
a definite job, and follow-up work to
safeguard his interests.
Within the next few months it is
expected that several thousand dis
abled soldiers will have sufficiently
recovered from their -wounds to take
the Government’s vocational training
course. Industrial schools and colleges
throughout the country are being util
ized so that most of the men are being
trained close to their homes.
Thirty-one per cent of »he total now
in training are taking commercial
Cotton Seed: Feed and
Fertilizer Value.
Owing to the difficulty in dis
posing of cotton seed and the re
duced price, even when they can
be sold, many are asking about
their value for feed and fertilizer.
For feeding, cotton seed are
worth about two-thirds as much
as as cottonseed meal. That is,
when cottonseed meal can be
bought for S6O a ton, cotton seed
are not worth more than S4O a
ton for feeding.
Compared with corn, up to the
amount of seed which can be
safely and economically fed, say j
up to five pounds a day to an
average cow, there is not much
difference in the feeding value of
corn and cotton seed. On this
basis, when corn is 11.40a bushel,
cotton seed are worth SSO a ton, j
but as stated, relatively small
amounts of cotton seed can be
fed without causing scouring or
too great looseness of the bowels.
For fertilizer cotton seed are
worth about one-half as much as
cottonseed meal. That is, when
cottonseed meal can be bought
for S6O a ton, cotton seed are not
worth over S3O a ton for fertilizer.!
But since nitrogen can be bought
for less than 30 cents a pound in
both sulphate of ammonia and
nitrate of soda, a ton of cotton
seed is really not worth $25 for
fertilizer. To give cotton seed a
value of $25 a ton as fertilizer,
nitrogen must be valued at about
30 cents a pound, phosphoric acid
at 7 cents and potash at nearly 20
cents a pound. —Progressive

J stock breeding. Others are studying
;law, medicine, banking, and some are
being trained in engineering, telegra
phy, tailoring, window trimming and
designing, accounting, store manage
jment, machine shop practice, meat in
spection, traffic management, and so
on.
It is not merely the men who have
I lost their arms or legs, or who have
been blinded, that the Government is
retraining and restoring to self-sup
porting activity. Aid is offered to ev
i ery man who is entitled to Government
I compensation. Thousands of men suf
fering from tuberculosis, bronchitis,
heart and nervous diseases, may be
unable to re-enter their former occu
pations.
What better assurance to the sol
diers could be given than that uttered
by President Wilson when he said:
“The Nation has no more solemn ob
ligation than healing the hurts of our
wounded and restoring our disabled
men to civil life and opportunity. The
Government recognizes this, and the
fulfillment is going forward fully and
generously.
“IT IS NOT A CHARITY!
“It is merely the a draft
of honor which the United States of
America accepted when it Selected
these men, and took them in their
health and strength to fight the bat
ties of the nation. They have fought
the good fight, they have kept the faith
and they have won. Now we keep
faith with them, and every citizen is
endorser on the general obligation.”
Better Care of Stock
Brings Greater Returns.
Atlanta, Ga., April 21. —Re
ports on the growing live-stock
industry in Georgia, which cattle
men here have discussed, show
unquestionably that much of the
success and profit of stock-raising
is due to the interest that farm
ers are taking now in keeping
their cattle from the open range.
In counties where the “no fence”
law is in operation requiring stock
owners to keep up their animals,
scrub stock is rapidly disappear
ing, and there are fewer losses
from death on railroad tracks and
by automobiles. It has also prov
ed a big factor in the conserva
tion of food and leather, as em
phasized by the National Council
. of Defence.
Prevalent prices show that the
stock raiser is getting better
financial returns on his animals
than ever before, which in itself
is leading to an expansion of the
industry. The indications are
that Georgia will be one of the
leading stock-raising states of the
country during the next few
years.

Money is Saved
American Farmers.
Washington, April 18.—More
than $1,500,000 will be saved by
the farmers this year as a result
of the action of the government
in making available at reduced
prices large quantities of nitrate
for fertilizer. After the armis
tice was signed the war depart
ment released to the department
of agriculture 111,000 tons of
nitrate produced during the war
I for use in explosives. To this
quantity is added 40,000 tons re
ceived from Chile by the agri
! cultural department too late for
distribution last year. Under
| authority of the food control act
I the nitrate is to be sold at cost
and already, says a statement
today by the department, farm
ers have taken up the full 151,-
000 tons in orders ranging from
1 200 pounds to 300 tons.

Keep Baby Well —
Feverish colds that distress the
little ones, that cause difficult
breathing, that irritate their sensitive little
throuts and give them troublesome disturb
ing toughs, are readily helped and soothed
by Foley's Homy and iar.
The wise mother gives it for croup,
whooping cough, measles cough and bron
chial coughs.
Foley’s Honey Tar
is just as good for grown-ups as
for children. For hoarseness, tickling throat,
troublesome night coughs, la grippe coughs
and chronic coughs of elderly people it is
widely recommended. It contains no
t morphine, chloroform or other drug that
you would not like to give to young chil
dren, delicate persons or elderly people. Do
not accept a substitute.
"When our buby was 10 days old he took whooping
cough in the wort form, and the paroxysm* ofc ugh j
almost overcame him. Our neighbor suggested
Foley’t* Honey and Tar and that gave him r!«
moat itnmc'! tr rebel, for which we feel very grate
ful.” Mrs. J. 11. Aiißhtower* Odeiu, Texan.
