ghum seed; “Unknown” and speckled peas.

ASK THE PURE FOOD INSPECTOR
You would not ask Hal Fisher or Dan Manget
to sell you 10-4-4 fertilizer at a price they
would ask for an 8-2-2. When you buy mixed
feed be sure and see what is on the tag—not
only the analysis, but the ingredients. On
some you will find “oat feed,” which is only
a fancy name for oat hull. Oat hull has no
’ feeding value whatsoever. You insist on a
feed high in protein and fat, and low in fiber.
If you do this, you will get a pure'feed. Note
the analysis of our PRIMO FEED—protein
11.5, fat 3.5, fiber 9.5.

SUCCESS.
What is success? To Rain a shnro of sold?
To havo one's wealth in envious accents told?
To seo ono's picture Haunted in the press?
Ah, there be thoBo who label this success.
What is success? To win a little fame?
To hear a fickle world applaud your name?
To be counted a genius? Yea,
And there bo thoso who label this auccess.
But have you not another standard still
To judgo a man of character and will?
Are gold and fame the only measures tried?
In all this world 1b there no test beside?
Ah, yes! the man who meets with courage grim
The dally dutiqs that devolve on him—
Tho petty, mean, heartbreaking cares that tiro
The patient soul that may never aspiro,
Howe’er bo cramped the Hold wherein ho wo**ks,
Ho haa not failed—the man who never Hhlrks,
The mnn who tollH for years without a break
And treada the path of pain for others’ sake.
There are a myriad of such men to-day,
Who, all unnoted, walk tho dolorous way—
Upon their shoulders still the cross may press,
But who will aay they have not won BuccesB?

Adminbdn*'” o*' O. MeUomhs,
Give us atrial order on
Women Want to Reform Every
body.
Dorothy Dix. f V.
The other day a cultured woman, of
rather sentimental tendencies, asked
me what I thought was the greatest
art in the world.
The art of letting other people
alone,” I answered, and then I said,
"and it’s the least understood.”
She started and then Bmiled, as if
she thought I intended to be funny.
But I was nevermore deadly in earnest
in my life. I have suffered, you have
suffered, the whole world has groaned,
under a martyrdom at the h inds of
those who would not let us alone, but
who Insisted on regulating our lives ac
cording to their own notions, and with
out the slightest regard for any pre
judices we might have in the opposite
direction.
I am loath to confess it, but these
well-meaning persecutors are generally
women. Men are so busy trying to
make both ends meet in their own busi
ness they have scant leisure to meddle
in the affairs of their neighbors.
A shoe merchant may do business for
twenty yearB next door to an insurance
agent without attempting to show him
how to write out a policy, or to con
duct his office. A woman, on the other
'hand, can never see anybody do any
thing differently from tho way she
does it without burning with a frantic
desire to correct them and set them
right.
If Mrs. A’8 children wear flannel she
can no more help worrying over the B
children having on cotton than she can
help breathing. Every woman in her
heart believes that she is the only hu
man being who possesses the real se
cret of economy, the true religion, and
an infallible gift for managing, and,
being so perfectly convinced of the
correctness of her point of view, it
seems to her actually criminal to let
you alone and permit you to do your
own way instead of hers.
As a matter of fact, the passion for
reforming things is inherent in the sex.
We were born that way. In its vio
lent and insane form it makes dear,
syeet, refined and angelic girls throw
t lemselves away on disgusting, drun-
km brutes, whom they marry, expect
ing to reform them and lift them out
of the gutter into respectability.
No woman escapes the fascination of
the idea entirely, and the very first
thing a girl thinks of after she gets en
gaged is what a perfectly delightful
time she is going to have reforming
her husband just as soon as she getB
him. Sometimes it’s his politics and
religion that she mean3 to have him
change, sometimes it's merely the
shape of his collar, or the cut of his
hair, but she’s always bent on reform
ing something. If there could be a
perfect man he would have to live and
die a bachelor. There isn’t a woman
living whom he would interest, because
there would be nothing to change about
him.
Men seldom suffer from this peculiar
mania. When a man first falls in love
with a girl he thinks that everything
about her is absolutely perfect, and by
the time he gets over it and gets a
second view of her, he is too wise to
undertake the job of improving her.
He has found out that there is -nothing
mutual in a woman’s idea of reform,
and that she most emphatically objects
to having the process being tried on
her, and he letB her alone.
Women seldom learn that, and ao we
are continually treated to the spectaele
of wives who have been waging an
unsuccessful war against their hus
band’s tobacco habit for twenty years,
and who are still hammering away
at the same reform, instead of
letting him smoke in peace. It is
doubtful if tobacco is harmful. Cer
tainly it can’t be sb bad morally, phy
sically, or mentally as a perpetual argu
ment on the subject. Only fancy
what we should think of a man who
wbb forever harping on the injurious
effects of chocolate creams, or nib
bling between meals, or ice cream soda.
Our own special vices are the only ones
that never need reforming.
There isn’t much doubt that the
great domestic problem is going to he
solved when women make up their
mmds to let their husbands alone a
little more—to take them as they are.
Newnan’s pitchers feared Newkirk
and Hudson.
Faults and virtues are indissolubly
mixed.
The virtue of letting alone is equally
applicable to children. What modern
children suffer from is altogether too
much attention. We are so afraid that
they will hurt themselves that we keep
them padded up in cotton wool sb long
as we can, and thus deprive them of
the great lessons experience teaches,
and finally when they will bear coddling
and leading strings no longer, and they
do make a break for liberty, we sit
down and bemoan their lack of filial
reverence and gratitude.
Our theory of doing the beat we can
for our children is always to be doing
something. We never think that the
very highest best—if one may use the
phrase—is to let them alone, and let
them find out for themselves what they
are and what they want to be. It is a
piece of monstrous vanity, anyway, to
want one’s children to be justlike one’s
self.
The art of letting alone never seems
so admirable and so unattainable as
when we deplore its absence in our as
sociates. Nothing else is so fatal e
barriir to friendship. It is not possi
ble to be on terms of any sort of in
timacy with one woman in a hundred
without her trying to more or less
supervise your entire affairs. It isn’t
enough for a woman to be satisfied
with her own superlative dressmaker
and infallible doctor. She iB miserable
until she foists them on every one of
her friends, and then when she falls
out with those paragons, she expects
you to change with her. All sorts of
reasons have been given for the scar
city of friendship between women. The
real explanation is right here in a nut
shell.
It sounds like a joke, but it’s the so
ber truth that a woman has to reach
the very highest pinnacle of unselfish
ness and generosity before she is will
ing to let others do their own way, and
he happy after their own taste, instead
of hers, but how perfect and incom
parable she is in every relation of life
when she does master the art of letting
others alone!
More Prohibition Agitation.
Albany Herald.
It seems that we are to have more
prohibition agitation in Georgia this
year. It is announced that the Anti-
Saloon League will have the Tippins
bill, or a measure embodying in sub
stance its thain features, introduced at
the approaching session of the Legis
lature.
It is stated that the new bill has
been drawn and that every member of
the Legislature will be furnished with
a copy of it. The bill is said to be al
most an exact copy of the Tippins bill
that was passed by the last Legisla
ture and vetoed by Gov. Brown.
There iB understood to be much di
vision among the prohibitionists as to
the wisdom of agitation at this time,
and it is by no means a certainty that
the measure may be passed.
It is Baid several of the State’s moBt
prominent temperance advocates will
refuse their co-operation in an effort at
further legislation next summer, and
it seems that there is to be no end
to prohibition agitation in Georgia.
The prohibitionistB now have their pro
hibition and the liquor drinkers have
their liquor whenever they want it;
but nobody appears to be satisfied.
Many good people, including thousands
who stand for temperance and consis
tently practice it in their daily lives,
have become tired of a protracted ag
itation which accomplishes nothing and
profits nobody except a few small poli
ticians and professional agitators, but
it seems that there iB no escape from
it and that it is to go on forever.

Talk of Race For U. S. Senator.
Atlanta, Ga., May 3.—In just anoth
er 12 months Georgia will be seething,
politically. It is difficult to realize that
it has been a year Binco the last cam
paign, and that the new one is already
quietly developing, although little is
being said about it.
There are two interesting questions
which politicians are asking just now.
One of these relates to the political fu
ture of Gov. Jos. M. Brown. Every
body is asking, “Will Gov. Brown make
the race for the U, S. Senate?” Upon
this subject Gov. Brown is about ub
talkative as the Sphinx. Some of his
friends say he will, and others that he
will not. One day Brown’s Senatorial
stock seems to be way up, and the next
it takes a slump.
There are many who think that Gov
ernor-elect John M. Slaton is tho mun
to oppose Senator Hoke Smith next
year; but it would be impossible for
Gov. Slaton to go into this race with
out a serious handicap. He will be
right in the midst of his first term as
Governor, and he will be, in accordance
with party custom in Georgia, entitled
to a second term in the executive office.
There will be many, naturally, who will
feel that he should remain as Governor
and take the Becond term, which he can
have practically without opposition.
Then, according to their view of it, he
could with good grace and splendid
prospects enter the next campaign for
U. S. Senator.
But it is practically certain that Sen
ator Smith is going to have opposition.
He has given his political enemies too
tempting an opportunity for them to
overlook it. It is the general belief all
over the State that Senator Smith has
held the strong hand in the distribution
of Federal patronage, and there are
thousands of disappointed office-seekers
all over the State who, according to tho
view of Senator Smith’s political oppo
nents, will mean just bo many active
workers against him, in case he has a
fight.
But who will be Senator Smith’s
strong opponent in the race? That
the question. There has, in fact, al
ready been one announcement—that of
Ralph 0. Cochran of Atlanta, a well-
known real estate operator. Mr. Coch
ran is a good, substantial citizen, but
his experience in politics has been com
paratively limited, and, without any
detriment to him, it may be said that
he is scarcely the man to give Senator
Smith a very hard fight.
At present those who are expecting a
Senatorial fight next year are looking
to Gov. Brown and Governor-elect Sla
ton. There may be other developments,
but just what direction they are likely
to come from has not yet been indica
ted.
Politicians regard it as a certainty
that Attorney-General T. B.' Felder ia
grooming for tfie Governorship. Mr.
Felder came pretty near being persua
ded by hiB friends to go into tho race
last year. But he was wiser than his
friends. He looked over the field and
saw how things were being lined up,
and kept out of it. The general belief
is that this action on Mr. Felder’s part
strengthened him politically, and that
he will be a man to be reckoned in fu
ture campaigns. If Bov. Slaton stands
for re-election next year, as is now an
ticipated, it iB not thought that Mr.
Felder will oppose him at that time.
But four years from now it is generally
believed that he will be one of the
strongest candidates for Governor in
the field.

Land-Owning Farmers Are Work
ing on Halves.
Statistics show that the man who
owns hiB land ia working for leBs than
half, the renter for less than one-third,
the cropper for less than one-fourth.
In 1911 the farmer received $6,009,-
000,000 for the products he sold. The
consumer paid $13,000,000,000 for these
products. Federal statistics Bhow that
out of every dollar paid by the consu
mer the farmer gets 42 cents, the rail
roads 8 cents, and the speculator 5*
cents. Out of his 42 cents the farmer
must maintain his farm, his school, his
church, pay his taxes and support hia
family. This is the reason why not one
farmer in five owns the land he culti
vates, and why two-thirds of them who
have land owe for all or a part of it.
The Farmers’ Union is working to
improve these conditions. We do not
expect to change the whole system in a
day, but we have made some splendid
moves forward, and other advances are
being planned. We will tell of them
later.
The determination to win was writ
ten on the faces that were Been in our
State Convention April 3 and 4. These
men never expect to Btop. Tho results
of my work in Johnson county show
that the farmer means to stay In the
Union. In six speeches, last week, we
doubled the membership in that county
—took them in to stay—and many more
will join.
The State officials, following their
election on April 4, spent many hours
discussing plans of work, Nation
al President Barrett being with
them. They decided unanimously on a
plan of operation, and asked me to take
charge of the field work. This I have
done, and the work of reorganizing has
begun in Georgia. All local unioaS
wanting to re-instate, or have me work
their county, should write.
My plan is to visit a county and spend
a week visiting local unions, making
from one to three speeches a day.
