ANOTHER BILLION DOLLAR CON
GRESS.
Congress ia asked to appropriate just
$1,108,681,777 to operate the Govern
ment of the United States daring the
fiscal year 1915, according to estimates
prepared by each department and sent
to the House to-day by Secretary Me-
Adoo, of tbe Treasury.
With this vast sum the Government
will maintain the battleships and forts
and the armies in the States and in the
countries that border the seven seas
it will keep the scales of justice bal
anced; endeavor to retain the friendship
of foreign nations, look after domestic
prosperity, and seek at intervals to dis
cover new ways in which to better
health, improve living conditions, and
investigate the merits of the thousand
new things in industry and commerce
that come to its attention.
The estimates submitted are $22,-
864,067 in excess of the appropriations
for the laBt fiscal year.
The estimates are as follows:
Legislative establishment, $7,533,331.
Executive establishment $30,S09,26S.
Postoflice department, including the
parcel poet, $306,953,117.
Judicial establishment, $1,212,110.
Department of Agriculture, $19,061,-
332.
Foreign intercourse, $4,447,012.
Military establishment, $105,937,544.
Naval establishment. $139,831,953.
Indian affairs, $10,208,865.
Pensions, $169,150,000.
Public works, $97,917,592.
Miscellaneous, $84,393,213.
Permanent annual appropriations,
$131,196,407.
For the preservation and completion
of vessels already in commission or
authorized the Navy Department wants
$8,250,000; for the hulls and machinery
of the two battleships and eight torpedo
boat destroyers which Secretary Dan
iels wishes to build in the fiscal year
1914-1915, $7,800,000; for armor and
armament of vessels authorized, $10,-
091,000.
Tbe sum of $300,000 is wanted for
naval defense mines and appliances;
$150,001 for experimental work in high
explosives; $170,000 for the naval sta
tion at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and $750,-
000 for additions to facilities and for
the purchase of additional ground at the
naval proving ground, Indian Head,
Md.,just below Washington. To ex
tend the naval gun factory in Washing
ton, $400,000 is asked.
Many increases are sought for the
army. Of these a large number are
explained in the estimates by the state
ment that the army itself is larger than
it has been heretofore. One of the
principal military items is $300,000 for
military aeronautics, of which $150,000
is to be spent for fifteen aeroplanes, de
clared to be necessary if the United
States is to keep abreast in this science
and “be prepared to cope with other
first-class powers in case of war."
The estimates for the organized mili
tia are larger by many millions than in
previous years. Sums of $1,350,000 for
field camps of instruction: $404,250 for
equipment of coast artillery armories;
$2,100,000 for field artillery material;
and $3,000,000 for ammunition for such
artillery for militia, are asked.
Although the Panama canal will prob
ably be in operation long before the
close of the fiscal year of 1915 the War
Department estimates that $26,326,985
must be appropriated for the canal that
year, which is about $5,000,000 more than
the current appropriation. For miscel
laneous material for tbe canal $10,459,-
000 is asked, and $2,551,830 is wanted
for fortifications.
Secretary McAdoo estimates that he
will need $1,5iX>,<XX) to collect the in
come tax. He says an increase is nec
essary because the tax collection ma
chinery will be perfected by the time
tbe appropriation is made, and because
investigations will be made to deter
mine cases of taxes withheld in pre
vious years.
Tbe Department of Agriculture asks
Congress for $400,000 to use in eradicat
ing the cattle tick, an increase of $75,-
000, declaring that several Southern
States are manifesting an interest in
cattle-raising, owing to the uncertainty
of the cotton crop and the high price of
cattle.
the cob is equal to 56 pounds of grain.
That, you will observe, is upon the ba
sis of 20 per cent, cob and 80 per cent,
grain. Many of the improved varieties
make a higher per centum of grain.
We have been a little slow in recogniz
ing the fact fhat there is a great deal in
the matter of selection, both as to corn
and cotton. It was by persistent ex
perimentation and careful selection that
Blount gave to the world Blount’s Pro
lific Corn. It might interest our read
ers to know just how he proceeded
when he determined to evolve out of
corn which produced each year a large
per centum of nubbins a variety that
would be practically perfect; not only
perfect, but prolific. He never ceased
his efforts until he had produced a va
riety which averaged eight good ears of
corn to the stalk. That demonstrated
what, could be done by painstaking fer
tilization and cultivation, in tbe matter
of uniform results from broad acres.
Two to four good ears of corn per stalk
will satisfy the average corn-grower, and
well they may. Now, what is being ac
complished by special attention to one
acre will not be of lasting benefit unless
the same results are won from ten acres,
twenty acres, fi ty acres.
Coweta county did not have quite as
many boys in the contest as other coun
ties, but the twenty-five who exhibited
at the Com Show showed results that
compared favorably with the best and
the largest.
There is one thought we should keep
in mind, Damely: That all these “spe
cial acre" efforts have in view a grand
object—the increase of the general av
erage yield of corn per acre in Georgia.
That particular and all-important view
of the case is presented now for the
reason that it is especially desired that
Coweta boys shall not lose sight of it.
In the contest just closed three Cow
eta boys made over 100 bushels of com
per acre. The average yield made by
the twenty-five boys was 62} bushels,
at a cost of 42 cents per bushel. Next
year this can be made very much bet
ter. Indeed, there is no reason why
Coweta boys should not set the pace for
the entire State in 1914. They must do
that.
Mr. W. S. Copeland, president of the
Boys' Com Club, and who was in charge
of the Coweta display this year, will be
in position to assist in giving tbe boys
an early start in 1914—not only an early
start, but a start along tbe right line.
All praise and honor to the twenty-
five sturdy Coweta boys who have done
so much to keep this grand old county
in the public eye. Take Cowfeta up one
side and down the other—with her
strong lands, up-to-date methods and
ambitious farmer boys—and there is no
reason why she should yield first place
in com production to any county in
Georgia.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion’s accident bulletin for the quarter
ended June 30, 1913, shows that, as
compared with returns of the corres
ponding quarter of 1912, there was a
total increase of 140 in the number of
persons killed, and of S.2S3 in the num
ber injured, in railroad accidents of all
kinds in the United States. There was
an increase of 124 in the number of
train accidents.' Defective roadway
and defective equipment together
caused more than 69 per cent, of all de
railments reported. 15.1 per cent being
caused by broken rails. The total num
ber of casualties in all classes of ac
cidents incident to railroading during
the quarter was 2,535 killed and 49,911
injured, including accidents to em
ployees while at work, and to pas
sengers getting on or off cars and to
trespassers. The total number of col
lisions and derailments was 3,596, of
which 148 collisions and 202 derailments
affected passenger trains. The finan
cial damage caused by the accidents
was $3,234,289, a material increase over
the returns for the corresponding quar
ter of 1912.
Immigration to the United States
reached a high-water mark during the
month of September, when 209,076 per
sons of all nationalities set foot on the
shores of this country, according to
figures just issued by the Department
of Labor at Washington. Of this vast
army 2,337 were reported as Americans
returning from Europe, which helped
swell the figures, they being included
in the compilation. The total number
of persons who left the country during
the month of September was only 5S,-
599. and 20,000 of these were American
citizens going abroad for the winter.

Rules to Be Observed in Mailing
Christmas Packages.
Postmaster Atkinson asks Tbe Her
ald and Advertiser to print the follow
ing rules to be observed in mailing
Christmas packages—
Parcels should be securely packed and
wrapped. Umbrellas, canes, fishlgg
rods and similar articles should be fas
tened between boards slightly longer
and broader than the articles. Hat
boxes should be crated in wood and cut
flowers in boxes of wood, tin or heavy
corrugated pasteboard. Candies should
be handled the same way. Sharp in
struments or articles with sharp cor
ners or edges should have the points
and edges well protected. All articles
easily broken should be carefully packed
and marked conspicuously, “fragile."
Parcels sealed or otherwise closed
against inspection are subject to first-
class postage. “Merry Christmas,”
“Hsppy New Year” and “Please don’t
open until Christmas" may be placed
on a parcel, but must not interfere
with the address. The name and ad
dress of tbe sender must be placed on
the parcel before it is mailed. The letf-
hand upper comer is suggested as the
best location, while the right-hand
lower comer has been designated as the
most desirable place for the address.
Christmas stamps or other stamps,
except postage stamps, placed oa the
address side of a parcel make the pack
age unmailable. Do not affix Red Cross
or Christmas stamps so as to seal the
parcel.
Parcels for New York, Boston or Chi
cago should be mailed not later "than
Dec. 20. Distance a parcel has to travel
will indicate the latest possible day for
its mailing if a Christmas delivery is
desired.
It costs 5 cents to insure a parcel val
ued at $25, and 10 cents to insure^t*$50
bundle. To prevent delay and conges
tion at tbe postoffice tags can be se
cured at the office and taken home to
be filled out. Valuable articles sent at
first-class rate should be insured. A
return receipt for insured parcels or
registered letters can be had on appli
cation.
Mailable merchandise can be sent by
parcel post to every important country
in the world, but parcels for foreign
destination should be presented for
mailing at the main office. The weight
limit is 11 pounds, while dimensions
must not exceed 3} feet in length, or 6
feet in length and girth combined.

Hairpins-the blonde kind—held up i
subway express train at the Bowling
Green station for 10 minutes the other
day.
The young woman—of course one
went with the hairpins—was beauti
ful, blonde and buoyant. As she
started to leave tbe tram a hairpin fell
out, and as she bent to pick it up
others followed.
Men passengers helped her retrieve
them. Soon her hair fell down. Using
the door as a mirror, she twisted it up,
while one man held her bat and dozens
of eager bands held hairpins.
The crowd was half in and half out
the car.
“Madam, you’re holding up the
train!” yelled a guard.
“I should worry,” she smiled at him.
The hairpin holders frowned. The
girl finished, dabbed her nose with a bit
of powder and smiled again.
„ Then the train started.

Many young men eschew matrimony
ecause of the “failures” which come
to their notice; some because of the al
leged expense; and more because of the
selfishness of their natures. The latter
class prefer the grosser enjoyments of
life and care not for the spiritual and
mental companionship which only.^y
pure woman can give, and the delights^
which center about the sacred name of
home.
Women are all alike, but men have
an idea that the dear things are all dif
ferent.

or constitutional disease, and In order to cure It
you most take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed
by one of the beat physicians in this country foe
years and is a regular prescription. It is com-
posed of the beat tonka known, combined with
the beat blood purifiers, acting directly upon the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the
