Stick to all of your good New Year resolutions. Of course you have no bad ones. Income tax returns for 1917 must be made between January 1 and March 1, 1918. And Woodrow Wilson just con tinues to smile himself into popu lar favor and affection. The Albany Herald is not a big one, but it is one of Georgia’s very best daily papers. Our women as usual are meas uring up to the highest standard of their country’s patriotism. Will Georgia farmers heed the danger of planting too much cot ton for 1918? It is up to their own interest. Railroads are now operated un der formal government control, and it may furnish good test for permanent ownership. The wav in which President Wilson taaes hold of things con tinues to stamp him as one of the greatest men of all time. The Weekl’ys sincere wish is that the terrible war may come speedily to a close and everybody be prosper and happy again in 1918. But will it? The Weekly extends many thanks for the liberal number of Christmas gift suoscriptions—but there’re plenty left to come in and make the new year bright and cheerful. Let all come forward at once. » 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.— Rochester Post^xpress. 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.

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.
