Kennedy, Atlanta banker, from Near East Relief head (jurat.-■» - in in the Georgia Savings Bank building that the consecrated work of feeding the Armenian orphans is appealing more arid more strongly to the Christian hearts of every one in Georgia;i and although facing a com mercial and economical condition unfavorable to the charitable work of this and any other na ture, the entire state committee feel assured that the present en thusiasm manifested by the workers will "carry on” until the i several thousand orphans depen dent upon Georgia for their lives will he provided for. Reports from government and other authentic sources, received in Atlanta indicate that not less than one million people are living today in the Near East who would have perished of starva tion and resultant diseases had it not been for American contribu - tions administered through tin agency of the Near East. In the 175 orphanages, the N<-ar East Relief, of which Georgia is a di- < vision, is caring for 100,Out) child ren who ore without mother, father or a protecting government to provide the food, clothing and shelter that make life possible for them. They are absolutely dependent on American generosi ty and American philanthropy, according to members of the re lief committee here. "These children who eat Amer ican bread and soup, who wear American clothes and live and sleep in the protection of orphan ages built and equipped with American money, are but a part of the much larger number of ex iled and persecuted Christian subjects of the Near East who are looking to us for help,” said Henry B. Kennedy, Atlanta bank er. "Innocent of any crime or fault of their own, they are re reduced to the point of starvation and will die unless America saves them. Generous Georgians, lam sure, will send contributions, no matter how small, to the state relief office 409 Georgia Savings Bank building in Atlanta..” Damping GIT Process For Seed Beds. As the time draws near for planting tomato and other seed which are usually planted in beds or boxes, it is well to remind the prospective gardner of some pre cautions which may prevent loss es from "dampingoff”, the worst of our seed bed troubles. “Damping off” is caused by any one of several species of fun gi which inhabit the soil, hut it is only under exceptional circum stances that they do serious harm. They grow most vigorously in the surface layers of a damp cool soil, and in such a soil attack young plants near the surface of the soil and rot the stem at this point—hence the term "dampim off". There arc two genera! methods by which this trouble may be held in check. They ate soil dis infection and proper cultivation. For the person growing plants on a large scale during cool weather a combination of the two may be necessary; but for the person growing only a lew plants, disinfecting the se : l is too tedious and expensive to be recommend ed. For such p< is ins the follow ing cultural precautions are re comended; Ist, plant the seed in rows. 2nd. do not w ater oftener than is necessary. 3rd, after watering, stir th<> soil between the rows, as to al low the surface soil to dry quick ly. This may be hastened by sprinkling air slaked lime over the surface of the soil. 1 mffTY»YYfYvmmYYm»» ► Georgia State ► 51 t Press Expressions. < •AAIAiIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAi Butler Herald:—That Georgia is paying out $50,000,000 annually to other States for hogs, cattle and poultry, is the startling in formatin from H. McDowell, • manager of Swift and Company’s packing plant at Moultrie. Mr. McDowell takes the position that this is w rong when hogs, cattle and sheep can he produced as cheaply in the South as elsewhere. He states that quality of Georgia raised hogs shows improvement this winter because of the fact that the farmers are feeding them corn and animal tankage rather than sell their corn at pre vailing low prices. Georgia hard hogs are bringing within two cents of the price being paid in the Western market. The Eastman Times-Journal: These frequent sunny days make us think that spring is on the ; way, hut let us hope that it is not headed in the wrong direction. Swainshoro Forest-Blade:— There is no sense in putting off what you know to be inevitable. You know that vou have got to pay taxes, so why put it off, that is, if you possibly can pay. Oc casiotialy there is one who cannot raise the money to pay even tax es, but as a general thing some kind of arrangement can usually be made whereby the money can be raised. Quitman Free Press:- The na tion’s economy experts have just uttered a loud howl. In spite of all their efforts to effect needed reforms the last appropriations bill carried the usual provision for free seeds for the congres sional distribution. What’s the use?

Springfield Herald:—Up in Milieu the Chamber of Commerce is going to have a building erect ed for the farmers. It is to be a market building and is to have stalls so the farmers can display their produce when they go to that live little city. It is a very commendable undertaking and it will be appreciated by the farmers. Rub-My-Tism, antiseptic and pain killer, for infected sores, tetter, neuralgia, rheumatism.

YACHT HAILS FROM OMAHA. Some people might claim that no deep wea racing yacht could keep its self-respect and hail from a place so far from salt water as Omaha, Xeb. Just now it appears that all such claims would not hold water, as one j of the largest racing craft in the ! New York Yacht club fleet, the 50- i footer Virginia, has the name of the I famous Nebraska city painted on her stern. L. I. Crofoot, owner of the Vir i ginia, lives in Omaha, hut spends 1 most of his summers racing in New ■ York waters and to the eastward, i Mr. Crofoot figures that as long as Omaha is his “home port” his racing sloop might as well hail from there. —New York Sun. MUCH SMALLER OBJECT. She was a stranger in London, says the Sketch, and was traveling from Bruton to the inn known as the Elephant and Castle. All the way she bothered the passengers on either side of her with inquiries whether she was nearing her desti nation. Finally, getting really anx ious, she reached over and delib erately poked the conductor with her umbrella. “Tell me, my man,” she said. “Tell me, is this the Elephant and Castle?” “No, ma’am, it isn’t,” sharply re plied the man. “It’s the conductor.” BACHELOR’S LIFE UNPOPULAR. The bachelor is unpopular at tin present time in England and many men who were regarded as con firmed bachelors are now taking wives. The bachelor is in general disfavor and he is to be the legiti mate subject for graft. He is com pelled to pay more for the essentials of life than any other people, and he now finds that matrimony is inort expedient.
