TIME TO PLAN FOR FALL GRAIN.
~ “Keeping in mind the shortage of
freight cars, the congestion of traffic,
‘and the usual delays incident to secur
fing sufficient fertilizer for feeding
crops, farmers of the southeast should
be making their plans now for getting
their fertilizers for fall grains,” says
Dr. J. N. Harper, director of the
Southern Soil Improveent Commit
tee. Director Harper believes that the
South as a whole is more interested
in producing fall grain this season
than in many years. Indications are
that the acreage will be increased in
'wheat, oats and rye.
Recent. surveys by the federal de
partment of agriculture show that the
cost of producing grain in the large
‘wheat growing centers has been grad
~ increasing until last year many
farmers lost money on. the project.
Mr. Harper states also that the soils
of the south will respond quickly to
rgood handling and liberal fertilizing,
permitting the southern farmer to
produce heavy crops per acre, thus re
ducing his cost. The weather here is

BURIED HIS DEAD
|
~ LOVE IN A CONVENT
YOUTH CAPTIVATED BY GIRL
EXECUTED AS SPY BECOMES
AN EMACIATED MONK.
PARIS.—A Dbarefooted, emaciated |
monk in the cloisters of the Cartuja|
of Miraflores, near Burgos, Spain, the
last lover of Mata Hari, the beautiful
dancer, whom the French shot as a|
spy in 1917, is trying to make atone
ment for having loved to the point of
madness the “woman with the body of
a goddess and the charms of a demon.” |
Brilliant Youth.
The man, whom Mata Hari held in
her power to such an extent that he
could not live without her, nor yet
forgive himself for doing so, is no
other than Pierre Mortissae, brilliant
member of the younger set in Paris,
who turned the heads of both Paris
and London society.
Handsome as a god, he rode to per
fectiag, dressed to perfection. No fan
tasy of his was too costly to satisfy—
he had smoking jackets worth thou
sands of dollars, embroidered in Ja
pzn; silk carpets, woven to order in
Persia. He went to war and won the
cross of the Legion of Honor and had
his forehead gashed by a German bay-'
onet.
Fantastic Romance. 1
Like a romance of some fantastic
tale is the truth about Mata Hari’s ex
ecution. Her astounding courage when
facing the rifles aimed at her, her
bravado in setting out in the gray Oc
tober dawn with lips rouged, eyes
painted, body perfumed and powdered,
arms laden with a huge boquet of al
imond blossoms, in which she buried
Ler lips as the shots rang out, aston
ished even the cynical Parisians.
Since then the truth has leaked out.
As in La Tosca, Mata Mari’s ex
ecution, according to promise given
her lover, and repeated to her, was to
be a simulated one. The soldiers
were to. have orders to fire, but not
at her, and she was to fall as though
killed, so as to deceive the crowd as
sembled to witness the execution.
BILIONS ARE SPENT
YEARLY FOR LUXURIES
Statistics Show Tremendous Sum of
$8,710,000,000 or $348 Per Family
Spent in United States.
WASHINGTON.—An average of
$8,710,000,000 is spent annually by the
people of the United States for “luxu
ries,” according to a statement by
Miss Edith Strauss, head of the wom
an’s activities division of the depart
ment of justice high cost of living
campaign.
Miss Strauss estimates on this basis
a per family expenditure of $348 per
year of $7 a week for “luxuries.”
The male population spends $2,110,-
000,000 on tobacco in its various forms.
Of this sum $800,000,000 is spent for
cigarettes, a like sum for loose to
bacco and snuff and $510,000,000 for
cigars.
Automobiles rank second in Miss
Strauss’ list of luxuries. Approxi
mately $2,000,000,000 is expended each
year for motor cars and their parts,
she said.
Since the advent of prohibition
more candy has been consumed than
ever before in the nation’s history, it
was pointed out. The candy consum
ing public annually pays $1,000,000,-
000 for sweets.
These statistics, Miss Strauss said,
were colleceed by the treasury depart
ment. |

TWO BABES KILLED BY BOLT |
BURIED IN YARD BY PARENTS
The Family Believed in a Superstition
of the Old World.
The bodies of Jennie Stahurski, nine
years old, and her brother, Edward,
killed, by a bolt of lightnign, were
found in the yard in the rear of their,
home in New York city, buried up to
their heads. |
The family believed the old world

of lightning in this manner, the elec

earth.

also ideal for growing wheat in winter
iand in many cases the land actually
needs some growing crop on it during
the winter months to prevent washing,
leaching and loss of plant food from
the soil.
For best resulgss with these fall
sown grains it has been found by ag
ricultural investigators that they
ishould be planted in time to get a
good root system developed before
freezing weather sets in, and should be
ldelayed in planting until all danger
from the Hessian fly is past. Plant
ing dates have been worked out for
each section by the college of agricul
ture, to which application should be
’made for the best period to plant, con
sidering all conditions.
“PFertilizer, liberally and intelligent
ly applied, will push the young plants
before cold stops their growth, will
make plump, heavy kernels, and will
[cause increased tillering, which means
'more heads. For these reasons I
think it important for farmers and
ldealers to give the matter attention
at this time,”” Dr. Harper says.
GEORGIA’S POPULATION !
IS 2,893,601 PEOPLEI
INCREASE IS SEVEN PER CENTi
LESS THAN THAT OF STATE |
TEN YEARS AGO. ’
Georgia’s 1920 poptlation, with the
exception of one enumeration district
not returned by the supervisor, is
2,893,601, the census bureau has an~|
nounced. Ten years ago the popula-|
tion was 2,609,121. The rate of
growth for the ten years was 10.9 per
cent, about 7 per cent less than the
increase of ten years ago.
In numbers Georgia’s population in
crease was 284,480, the smallest nu
merical increase since the decade end
ing with 1870, but more than two
thirds as large as the increase teni
years ago.
Some Georgia Figures. !
In 1910 Georgia ranked as the tenthl
most populous state in the union. 1t
showed an increase of 392,790, or 17.7
per cent for the ten years ending
with 1910. The nurierical increase
was the largest in its history. Geor-‘
gia’s largest relative increase was 97.1|
per cent in the decade 1790-1800.
When the first federal census was
taken in 1790 Georgia had a population
of 82,548, and it ranked then as sev
enteenth among the states and terri-‘
tories. |
In area Georgia ranked as twen-|
tieth among the states in 1910, with
a land area of 58,725 square miles,
making its population average 44.4
‘per square mile, compared with an av
‘erage of 30.9 per square mile for the
country as a whole.
Second Sixty Years.
During the second 60 years the rates
of increases ranged from 12 per cent
to 30.2 per cent and the population in
1910 was somewhat less than three
times that of 1850.
Comparison of the rates of increase
for the state with those for the United
States shows that during each decade
from 1790 to 1840 the rate of in
crease for the state was higher than
that for the United States. From
1840 to 1910 the rate for the state
‘was lower than for the country as a
whole, except in the decade 1870-80
when the state’s rate was slightly
higher, |
. The population of Georgia in 1910
was a little more than 311% times as
large as in 1790, when the first census
was taken, while the populatien of the
United States in 1910 was 23 times
that of 1790.
KRAMER HAS ONE
DRINK FOR EVERY ONE
Is Custodian of Nearly 50,000,000
Whiskey “Hoots.” Doesn’t Know
What to Do With It.
Nearly 50,000,000 drinks of whisky,
enough to give one man-sized “hoot”
to every male in thé United States, is
now held by Federal Prohibition
Commissioner John F. Kramer.
The whisky was seized in raids, ac
[ cording to R. E. Hall, chief supervisor
of Kramer's detective force. It will
be necessary for prohibition agents to
guard the whisky, which is stored in
‘federal buildings, in bonded ware
"house and in liquor storéhouses, until
| directions for its disposal have been
given by the courts.
Measured by ordinary standards, the
seized whisky is reported to total more
than 2,000,000 quarts. This, however,
is a mere drop in the grand total of
amounts seized throughout the coun
try since national prohibition went in
to effect Jan. 16. Police, sheriffs and
other local officials who do not report
to Kramer have seized far more than
Kramer’s agents.

The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever Came to Market
Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick
In every great tire factory, 'the
chief question is: “How much can
we give for the money?” And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con
cern—noted as a leader in every
line it entered since 1845—has once
more proved that its policy is right.
/A perfect tire is simply a matter
of knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don’t
build high-grade tires. |

tire makers includes a brilliant staff
