A new year is here.. It is time
for invoice. Business men take
an invoice of their stock. Would
it not be business for you to take
one of yourself ? Life, each life,
is a business. Have you gained,
or lost, the past year ? Have you
used the talents given you so as to
gain other talents? Is there any
prospect of your being placed
over ten cities or five cities or
one city? Have you declared any
dividends in the way of loving
and helping others, and have you
added anything to the capital
stock of your character? These
are pertinent questions that press
us ail for an answer.
Christmas, 1917. •
This able and timely Christmas
Eve editorial is from the Griffin
News 1 and Sun:
That this Christmas time —the
anniversary of the birth of the
Prince of Peace —finds the whole
world involved in war, is the
greatest tragedy of the ages. It
is the fourth Christmas of carnage
into which the world has beeg
plunged by the kaiser’s ambition
and greed, and all the nations of
the earth are passing through the
valley of the shadow of death.
Some claim to see in this horrid
cataclysm a failure of Christianity,
but never were men more mis
taken. Had the rulers of Europe
walked in the footsteps of the
lowly Nazarene—had the kaiser
taken the Christ instead of Attila
as his exemplar—the world would
not today be faltering in blood.
The present reversion to pri
meval barbarism does not mean
that Christianity is a failure and
that Christ died in vain, but it
does emphasize the necessity of a
whole*hearted turning to Him
who is the Way, the Truth and
the Ligh(.
German “kultur” has appealed
only to the head and has deliber
ately hardened the heart. God
forbid that such a monstrous thing
should be permitted to ever-run
and over-ride the world.
Let us make this Christmas a
merry one for the little folks,
but for ourselves let us make it a
time of stem resolve that as our
young men—the pride of our na
tion—go forth to f ght the Anti-
Christ, we will do our full- part
here at home to sustain them to
see that they are not only well
armed and well equipped, but
that they go forth with the indom
itable spirit of ’76 in their hearts
and back of them in their homes.
And let no one think or say at this
Christmastide that Christianity is
a failure, that the Christ whose
birth we celebrate wore the cross
of thorns and went to the cross in
vain. His spirit and His teachings
are certain to triumph over evil,
and when the horrid nightmare of
war is finally over this is going to
be a better world in which lo live
through a better •recognition and
fuller devotion to Him.
Life at the Front.
Major Donald Guthrie, of the
Canadian expeditionary forces,
denounces the criminally false talk
about the horrors of the trenches
as a part of the German propa
ganda to scare Americans. There
are some hardships over there, he
says, hots of the boys are wound*
ed; plenty of them killed; but there
are no mote cheerful and content
ed men on the face of the earth
than those he left behind him on
the western front. They like
their jobs, are brimful of confi
dence, and would not trade places
with any civilians in the world.
As the morals of the Germans
has gone down, theirs has gone
up; and the talk about the misery
in the trenches and the despon
dency that weighs men’s hearts is
all “a rotten lie.”
Statements like this from men
who know the farts should be
given wide currency. Enemies of
our country have been sedulously
spreading a different idea with
result that many parents are mis
imormed and depressed at the
thought that their son has been
drafted or will be may see service
in France. If they only knew'
how great the chances are that he
will come back safe, and how
much more of a man he will be
on his return and how proud they
will be of him, they might save
themselves mush needless grief.—

Sheep for Georgia.
J. A. Delfelder, the “sheep king
of Wyoming,” who has been in
Georgia as the guest of the Geor
gia Land Owners’ Association, vis
ited Savannah last week at the re
quest of the Morning News and
exhibited a wonderful moving pic
ture of a “Wolf Hunt” in which
some six hundred or more cow
boys and cowgirls took part. Mr.
Delfelder showed the conditions
confronting the Wyoming sheep
and cattlemen and predicted be
fore long the ten million acres of
idle land in the South would be
taken up for grazing purposes. He
advocates the raising by small
farmers of sheep both for mutton
and wool. The Wyorrfing sheep
king was tendered a luncheon,
while here at this luncheon he said
Georgia had an excellent oppor
tunity of raising one third of the
wool in the United States if the
farmers would make use of their
idle lands. The Georgia Land
Owners’ Association is now work
ing on a plan to bring cattlemen
to this state.

Therefore, a pound of Buckeye Hulls goes a third again
as far as a pound of old style hulls. In other words r
you only have to feed pound of Buckeye Hulls to
give the same food value as a full pound of old style
hulls.

ton than old style hulls. Sacked —easy to handle.
Buckeye Hulls allow better as- They mix well with other forage,
similation of other food. They take less space in the barn.
Mr. Ben FauUt, Dothan, Ala.,
prefers Buckeye Hulls to old style hulls because cows
like them as well, they are cheaper, they agree with the
cows, and they go farther, one sack lasting as long as
two sacks of the old style.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the halls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do thi* by
■ wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.

Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the
South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat
