To All Corn Club Boys, and to
All Interested in Them.
Desirous as we are of impressing
upon your minds the value of culti
vating the soil in the heat possible
manner, there is something else we wish
to cultivate even more earnestly and
zealously. And that is your mind. No
other cultivation is so pleasant, none so
profitable, as the cultivation of the
brain. The difference between the suc
cessful men and the failures is largely
the dilference in the use of their brains.
Well developed muscle is a useful
part of a farmer boy, but to be a profi
table part it must be wisely directed
by a woll-stored brain. If you had
muscles as strong as the ox and a brain
uncultivated, you would be very little
better off than the ox. Some man with
a trained brnin would be your master
and would profit by your muscular
strength.
There are so many easy and pleasant
ways of developing the natural powers
of the brain that no boy can complain
of lack of opportunity. One easy and
pleasant way of enriching the mind is
to take and to read good papers. There
are so many of these that can be had
at such small cost that no boy need be
without two or more of them.
Take your county paper. It is one
of the best papers for you. It keeps
you informed about the most important
(to you) part of the earth's surface—
your home county and its people. It
may look small and insignificant when
compared with the great dailies and
weeklies of the cities, but if you will
keep account of the number of items
and articles that are of real value and
interest to you, you will find that the
Btnall weekly published in your county
town furnishes the larger number that
interest you. In no other way, by bo
small an expenditure of time and money,
can you keep informed about what in
going around you.
Besides thoBe good and sufficient
reasons why the county paper should bo
taken by every family, all these coun
try weeklies are now clubbing with
some good agricultural journal —both
papers for about the price of one. And
either paper is worth many times the
cost of both if they are regularly read.
Right there is the trouble with the man
who does not like his home paper. He
does not read it regularly. And an un
read paper soon becomes an unwelcome
visitor.
Never before have the weekly papers
of Georgia been so richly laden with ar
ticles of timely and useful instruction
to those who till the soil. The articles
being furnished by the president
and faculty of your College of Agricul
ture to all papers that will uho them are
alone worth many times thu subscrip
tion price to all who read and heed
them.
If all our club memhers were regular
readers of their county papers, wo
could often reach them with useful sug
gestions that we have not time nor help
enough to send by letter. It takes
more tlmn 10,000 letters to reach all the
eluh members in Georgis.
Boys, do you know of a successful,
prosperous man who does not take the
county paper? There are plenty of the
other kind who do not. Which kind do
you want to be?
Take the papers, boys, and rend
them. They will keep a current of
healthy, brain-strengthing thoughts
flowing through your minds and enrich
ing them with the heBt information of When
the age—of all the ages, in fact. A
bushel of corn will pay for two papers.
You are going to make 50 bushels or
more on your ncre this year. Turn at
least one bushel of it into grey brain
matter.

Planning far Another Crusade.
Maron T«l«irraph.
The reply of Hon. W. J. Harris, Cen
sus Director, to a curt note from Thos.
K. Watson, puts us on notice that an
other cruBade is on foot against the
railroads of Georgia. Mr. Watson's
note, which required no reply, was evi
dently seized upon to give vent to hiB
personal views. It iB to be regretted that
some of the politicians are going to try
to take the "railroad route” to office
again, using them as a platform to
"get in on" instead of "stand upon."
The railroads do not deserve thiB.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch a few
days ago twitted President Fairfax
Harrison for being too pessimistic in
his recent North Carolina speech. Ho
was very optimistic in his Macon ad
dress before the Chamber of Commerce.
Perhaps, in the meantime, he learned
of the proposed crusade.
For several years tfoe railroads of
Georgia have taken the people into
their confidence. The arrogance com
plained of in the past certainly has
passed away. They are bending every
energy to build up the country along
their lines. They have pursued the
Canada plan of intensive advertising.
They have Bent their literature, beauti
fully illustrated, all through the West
ern States. They are doing their best
to turn the tide Southward. Mr. M.
V. Edwards, of the Southern railway,
in his recent address in our auditorium
before the State Chamber of Com
merce, very forcibly brought out the
present relations of the railroads to the
people.
Not only have the railroads immigra
tion agents in the West and East, striv
ing for desirable settlers for Georgia,
but they are co-operating with our Ag
ricultural Department, and stimulating
farmers to better methods. 1'hey have
offered prizes for the beBt yields of
crops at the greatest net profit. They
have gotten up contests in the counties
along their lines. In fact, they have
instituted special farms to show what
our lands will produce.
In 1905 and 1906 there was a terrific
crusade against our railroads. The ef
fect wus disastrous. When the war was
made on them they had just begun to
recuperate from the disasters of the
Civil War. They were laying plans for
double trackage, so as to meet the de
mands of increasing traffic. The South
ern railway had double-tracked to con
siderable extent. Samuel Spencer had
arranged for a vast loan for this pur
pose, and for equipment.
liut the crusade was so intense, the
war so positive and aggressive, that
financiers took fright and withdrew
from him. Spencer was left helpless.
Money is as sensitive as the mimosa
plant, and withdraws from investment
when popular clamor is aroused against
it.
The roads are now again getting into
good shape, though crippled badly by
the ensuing panic of 1907, and to start
again u war on them for the personal
aggrandizement of ambitious politicians
would be a calamity indeed. Do not
renew the processes of 1906. In that
year the reign of the demagogue was
supreme. The multitude went wild.
John I). Rockefeller, so astute in bus
iness, suid in an interview at Augusta
that when the three gubernatorial can
didates, all fine orators, had their con
ference and agreed on the line of at
tack, he quietly disposed of all his rail
way holdings in the South. We ail re
member how our blunder built the West
Canada road. We drove the money to
Canada. Good for Canada; disastrous
for the South.
MUST BELIEVE IT
The Things We Meant to Do.
Pictorial Review.
You have a friend in the hospital, not
very ill but uncomfortable. Hospital
daya are long. Letters shorten them.
You mean to write, but the day’s cor
respondence is heavy, and insistent in
its demands. A hospital letter is not.
It can wait. It generally does. Then
by and by Mr. Friend leaves the hos
pital. When you meet him it gives you
quite a shock, not because he looks wan
and thin, but because the sight of him
reminds you of the letter you meant to
write. If he is the average man, you
will note just a little constraint in his
greeting. He can’t quite forget that
you forgot him during the long, dull
hours.
Your wife meets you on your return
from business some evening, attractive
ly arrayed. An expectant smile plays
on the lips round which the practical
duties of home-making have left a few
tired lines. You blink at her festive
frock and try to remember what, she
said before you left in the morning.
"Company to-night, dear?”
The light dies in her eyes, expectan
cy in her face. She does not even look
for the parcel you have not brought in
your overcoat pocket. She speaks a
trifle wearily:
"No—it’s just our wedding anniver
sary. Don’t you remember—I told you
on Sunday. I’ve sent the children over
to Aunt Sarah’s, bo we could have a lit
tle honeymoon supper together—hut it’s
all right. ”
It’s not all right. No one knows that
better than you do. When she told you
on Sunday you meant to plan some lit
tle surprise for her—to send her flow-
era—the topaz brooch you had heard
her admire. But Brown came in to talk
to you about forming a new elevator
company, and you wanted to get in on
the ground floor, so flowers and brooch
were forgotten. You try to soothe your
conscience with the reflection that a
man’s first duty is to provide for his
family, but it doesn’t work worth a
cent. You know that it takes something
more than stocks, bonds and cash to in
sure domestic happiness.
Many hundreds of years ago wise old
prelates, writing the Anglican church
prayer of contrition, recognized two
varieties of sin—commission and omis
sion. They taught us to pray for for
giveness for doing those things which
we ought not to have done, and for
leaving undone those things which we
ought to have done.
To-day, in this wonderful century of
material achievement, the second form
of sin is more prevalent than the first.
We cannot, or will not, spare the time
to do those things which we consider
unnecessary or unimportant, because
there’s nothing in it for us. Nor do we
count ourselves as selfish or cruel. We
excuse ourselves on the ground that
ours is a "practical age.”
This has been written from the man’s
viewpoint and out of a mun’s experi
ence. We believe women are falling
into the same habits of discourtesy.
In business, in society, in the home,
we no longer take time to be courteous.
We cun't bother to do the little things
that make life livable. And then we
wonder at the bluntness, the brusque-
neBB, of the modern youth and girl.
Most Children's Diseases Start With
a Cold.
Restlessness, feverishness, an in
flamed throat and spasmodic cough,
maybe whooping cough, is starting in.
Give Foley's Honey and Tar promptly.
It helps the children so very much, and
Mrs. Shipp, Raymondville, Mo., says:
"I got fine results from it, and it is a
great medicine for whooping cough.”
For sale by all dealers.
Some Startling Figures.
From resolutions passed by the
Church Peace Union we gather the fol
lowing startling figures concerning the
amount of money the world is spending
in its efforts to kill men. Here are the
figures: The combined debt of the
world, mostly borrowed and used for
war purposes, amounts to nearly $37,-
000,060,000. The interest charge of the
world on itn national bonded debt
amounts to $1,500,000,000. The amount
expended yearly on standing armies
and battleships is $3,500,000,000. If the
entire property of the United States
were to be sold, and the returns capi
talized and put at interest at 4 per
cent., it would just about keep up the
military and naval forces of the world
in time of peace. Our own country,
the United States, Bpends on army and
navy $800,000 per day.
The so-called civilized world main
tains, chiefly in idle parade, usually all
their lives, no less than 6,244,600 men,
armed and pledged to go forth and kill
their fellowmen as ordered, Bhould war
arise. Most of these, however, never
fire a hostile shot, war being the ex
ception, long years of idleness the rule.
Even in war, with men firing at battle
ships twelve miles distant, with troops
under cover firing at troops a mile dis
tant-war is no longer conducive to the
heroic.
Rheumatism Quickly Cured.
"My sister’s husband had an attack
of rheumatism in his arm,” writes a
well-known resident of Newton, Iowa.
"I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Liniment, which he applied to his arm,
and on the next morning the rheuma
tism was gone.” For chronic muscu
lar rheumatism you will find nothing
better than Chamberlain’s Liniment.
Sold by all dealers.
“You’ll be late for supper, sonny,”
said a merchant in passing a small boy
who was carrying a package.
“No, I won’t,” was the reply. ‘T’ve
dot de meat.”

vegetable liquid. Its action is easy and
natural, witn no gripe, no pain, and the

brighter, as thousands have.
