This im¬ plement is usually provided with Coul¬ ters on the beam, which cut the vines ahead of the plow. However, many growers who must harvest large acre¬ ages in the crop use special potato dig¬ gers, which are provided with two rolling coulters that cut the vines on each side of the hill, and iron rods pro¬ jecting from the moldboard which free the potatoes from the soil. The potatoes should be allowed to dry, and then gathered directly from the row into padded baskets and hauled to the curing and storage plant. It is a had idea to throw several rows of po¬ tatoes together, as they become bruised. They should not be exposed to the sun long, and should not be left out over night. While on the subject of potato dig¬ ging, it will not be amiss to state that the selection of seed for next year’s crop should be done in the field at har¬ vest time. In this way the grower can get some idea of the vine growth, the yield per hill, and the relative size and shape of the potatoes. He should select only medium sized, well-shaped, and matured potatoes from productive hills free from disease. Potatoes from vine cuttings are very desirable for seed, as the danger of transmitting disease from the plant bed to the field is less¬ ened.—Progressive Farmer. NEW STAMP SERIES TO GO ON SALE Atlanta.—The new 5-cent stamp bear ing the likeness of former president Roosevelt will not be paced on sale in Atlanta and other southern cities until the supply of the present stamps is ex¬ hausted, it was stated here at the Arcade postoffice.

In the new series the 13 eent stamps have been discontinued, while the 14- and 25-cerrt stamps have been added. The portraits and designs for the se¬ ries include Washington and Jefferson, as fathers of our institutions, Franklin as the first postmaster-general; Martha Washington, commemorating the pio seer womanhood of America, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, as the martyr Presidents. Monroe to mark the foreign Policy associated with his name, with Grant, Hays, Cleveland and Roosevelt tarrying off the historical line to a re¬ pent date. ^LIGHTENING THE PUBLIC BY ADVERTISING The value of newspaper advertising L< a means of informing the public in 'ard to the problems of the railways tas stressed by J.

THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVING Zvriv. vji PI AN TO fill empty SEATS Chicago.—Assorting that Christ not talk to empty seats if there any legitimate way to fill them. i hristian Reisner, of New York, in an address before the national conference on church publicity Tuesday told the assembled ministers to follow the sug¬ gestions of the Nazzare and "go out and compel them to come in”. At times religion is , heapened by the vague and inane efforts made to reach the community." he said. “Jesus here performed miracles to draw the crowd to hear his messages. The phar¬ isees quickly called him a sensational¬ ist, hut the people heard him. and a world revolutionizing movement wa s started. "The first essential to filling th* church is to awaken the ministers and the members until they get on their toes and put their goods in circulation. Then they will have fresh and palata¬ ble goods on hand and will find a way to secure customers. The people are hungry for God, but they must some¬ times have quail mixed with their manna. “The next step is advertising. That does not mean merely to put an alert¬ ness that will compel the people to see the church.” j \V HAT MAKES A GOOD CITIZEN ^he qualities which constitute a citizen extend further than many per¬ sons would ordinarily believe. An ac¬ tive interest in civic matters and a neighborly co-operation in movements looking to the welfare and advance¬ ment of your community, town or city are the prime essentials to good and constructive citizenship. Good citizenship does not consist en¬ tire of properly attending to your per¬ sonal affairs. That is good and proper, but it does not go far enough. A good citizen guards the interests of his home town or city just as vigi iantiy as he does that of his own busi¬ ness or whatever other 'source from which he obtains his livelihood. The Rome News quoted an exchange in a recent issue, which very forcefully analyzes the oft-neglected qualities of good citizenship which reproduced herewith in toto. “You may class yourself as a good citizen merely because you pay your debts, stay at home nights, look after your family and let others alone. “But if you are a really good citi¬ zen, you must go further than that. “You have civic duties to perform, and civic requirements to meet. “Giving assistance to those who lie,- ! help is a part of your duty. Aou may feel that there are plenty of men more able to go ahead and do things in your community, but thru does not absolve you from your duty. “These same persons may do for the poor, the community, the city and the surrounding county as if they enjoyed it, and no doubt they do get pleasure out of it, but there is your duty which none can do but you. “Your life touches others, whether you will or not, and you cannot get away from this responsibility, though you may shirk it. “To he sure, your home and family comes first, but certainly you know that you must do some things for yon: city and for those outside your Immo diate circle. “You may grumble because the same old gang is hack of every movement or important undertaking in your city, but— “Suppose all the men in your home place were as self-centered as you are, what W'ould your city or your commu¬ nity amount to?” The News comments further on the subject: “This leads us to repeat an idea that we have often expressed, to the effect that a town or city is just what the people who reside there make of it. A town is no bigger than the men* who it. Rome is what the people want city to be. A person who is dis¬ to criticize his town should begin himself.”—Coob County Times. THE PREVENTION OF SUGARING IN CANE SYRUP A thick sugar syrup does not fer¬ ment as readily as does a thin one. Ex¬ periments have shown that sugar cane syrup containing 22-23 per cent water, (42 degrees Baume) does not readily fer¬ ment in warm weather. Syrup of this density will ordinarily crystallize al¬ most solid. Crystallization may be prevented by the use of an invertase preparation. This has the property of inverting or¬ dinary cane sugar to the non-crystal¬ lizing form, and permits the evapora¬ tion of the syrup to such an extent that fermentation does not occur. Methods for the use of invertase have been recommended by the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry. A concentrated form of invertase is now on the mar¬ ket. The evaporation of the juice is car¬ ried out in two stages. The juice is first cooked as usual, but as rapidly as pos¬ sible to a density of 16 degrees on the Baume spindle at boiling temperatur It is then run into a storage tank and allowed to cool to 140 degrees F. To each 100 gallons of this semi-syrup, 21 cubic centimeters, or a little less than an ounce, of" 1 nvertase, is added. The invertase should he carefully measured in a glass measuring cylinder, gradu¬ ated in cubic centimeters, and mix's! with a little water before adding to the juice. This facilitates mixing with the juice. After mixing, the tank is covered and the semi-syrup is allowed to stand night or approximately twelve over hours. Inversion of the sugar occurs during this time. An hour more or less does not matter. The evaporation then carried rapidly to completion.

By J. R. HAMILTON Former Advertising Manager of Wanamaker’s, Philadelphia About the most delightfully foolish thing u man does is to let a woman set the stage for her attractions -moonlight through trees, appealing perfume, soft music, etc.—and then ask her to be his partner for life. And about the most delightfully foolish thing a woman does is to take a fancy tiFti man’s smile or the color of his eyes or the way his hair grows about his forehead and accept him on that basis as the earning partner in their little firm of matrimony. Hood ness knows this sort of thing causes enough trouble in marriage without carrying it on into the other businesses of life. Vet for the most part that is just what we do from the buy¬ ing of a piano to the choosing of a pair of shoes. Heeause we insist upon choosing our husband or our wife by moonlight is no reason why we should throw a glamour about th purchase of a brass bed or a petticoat. Everything looks good when it is new, but like the Scotch man's wife what we want to know is how it is going to look twenty years from now. How is that piano going to last after our expert has shown us how beautiful it is? How are our shoes or our clothes going to look three months from now? How is our furniture going to look three years from now? There is only one way to buy a thing when it is new and that is to buy it from a firm that guarantees it when it is old. Now how are you going to get that guaranty? Why, from the men who advertise of course. They are the men who go on record concerning the things they sell. They are the men whose asset is their name. They are the rnen who have something more than their cash drawer to protect. The time will conic when the person who buys anything that is not advertised or buys from a firm that does not advertise will be looked upon as needing a guardian. It is hud enough to have a husband or a wife who does not lit or will not near -that was probably a matter of sentiment, i.nt there oughtn’t to he much sentiment in the buying of a piece of furniture or a pair of shoes.
