DID YOU EVER THINK?
Did you ever think a* n hennu* paused by
That it would not be lonjr until you or I
Would be taking a ride in that black-plumed hack,

Did you ever think an you at rive for gold
That u dead man's hand can’t a dollar hold?
No matter how much you earn or save.
You must leave It all when you go to the grave.
It ia better to buy a cheap bouquet
For a living aoul this very day

What Georgia State College of
Agriculture Has Accomplished.
1. Built up a student body from prac
tically nothing to an enrollment of 350.
Increase in attendance over last year
55 per cent. Students instructed at
Athens to date, 1,363.
2. Demonstrated the efficiency and
value of agricultural education. Un
trained farmer earns $5,000: educated
farmer earns $50,000 in same length of
time.
3. Established short courses for far
mers, and boys and girls. One farmer
says the short course was worth $500 to
him last year.
4. Graduated a group of agricultural
leaders. One man netted $4,500 out of
his farming operations in 1912 and in
troduced a new industry into his com
munity.
6. Accumulated $400,000 worth of
property at a cost of $100,000 to the
State, exclusive of maintenance funds.
6. Reclaimed a worn-out farm. Re
ceipts in 1908, $2,575 34; in 1912, $8,-
581.41. Net earnings in 1908, nothing;
in 1912, $2,246.96.
7. Demonstrated the practicability
and profitable nature of horse-breeding,
beef and dairy industries, and hog
ranching in Georgia. Example: Dairy
herd earnings in 1908, $1,124.44; in 1912,
$5,099.44; profit 1912, $1,817.60.
8. Distributed throughout the State
120 head of pure bred live stock, bred
on college farm. Called attention of
Georgia farmers to the value of I’erch-
eron horses and Tamworth hogs as gra
zers.
9. Developed Sunbeam cotton. Dis
tributed seed largely resistant to an-
thracnose in seventy counties of the
State. Two planters have grown and
sold more than 3,000 bushels of seed to
farmers. Was cultivated on 5,000 acres
last year at a saving of $20,000 to those
growing it.
10. Manufacturing and distributing
hog cholera serum at 2 cents per c. c.
where price in State was formely 5
cents. Example: Saved $8,000 worth of
hogs at a cost of $526; 92 per cent, of
treated animals recovered.
11. Has aided materially in the edu
cational campaign for the eradication or
the cattle tick, which alone prevents
Georgia from becoming one of the
greatest live stock States in the Union.
12. The dairy industry is being en
couraged by personal inspection and ad
vice to about 150 dairymen. Some 15
silos and barns were built last year un
der the direction of the field agent in
dairying.
12J. Poultry husbandry department
acts as a clearing-house for farmers and
is carrying on many experiments of
great economic value to poultry-raisers.
Has demonstrated preventable loss of
$300,000 annually to Georgia farmers
through bad handling and marketing of
eggs.
13. Prepared and distributed large
number of plans of barns and other farm
buildings. Tested out farm machinery
and advised farmers how and what to
buy.
14. Carries on persona) correspond
ence with more than 25,000 Georgia
farmers. One man says, “You saved me
$50 on corn fertilizers in 1912.” The
college pays back its entire cost annu
ally through correspondence.
15. Has 25,000 names on the mailing
list and has distributed about 640,000
copies of 60 bulletins containing a total
of 15,000,000 pages. These bulletins
constitute the most valuable and relia
ble literature available concerning Geor
gia agriculture.
16. Is prosecuting a physical-chemical
soil survey in several counties, thus ac
quiring knowledge fundamental to the
development of a permanent type of
agriculture. Our soils contain from 400
to 45,000 pounds of potash per acre
foot; others are so acid that it takes 10
tons of lime to correct same. Should
farmers be permitted to waste their
effort?
17. Organized a press service in co
operation with some 175 papers of the
State so that the latest and best agri
cultural information might be placed
each week before 350,000 farmers of
Georgia free of cost.
18. Established extension work for
farmers in the State of Georgia on such
a broad and comprehensive basis that
it has won for the institution the confi
dence of Georgia farmers. Some con
structive work has been done in practi
cally ever county of the State.
19. In 1912 817 meetings were held,
attended by 101,701 people, involving
121,060 miles of travel. Nearly 700,000
white citizens of the State have been
reached by the college in a period of
five years through its extension ser
vice.
20. Established and promoted boys'
and girls’ clubs with a membership of
approximately 15,000. The boys grew
400,000 bushels of corn in 1912 at a net
profit of $244,000. One girl netted $69.15
on a tenth of an acre in tomatoes. The
club work is bringing a new hope and
purpose into the rural schools of Geor
gia.
21. Established soil test plats in 15
counties of the Stute to determine the
specific deficiencies of Georgia soils and
ascertain how these can be overcome
economically. Area under test covers
54 acres ahd contains 3,240 plats.
22. Directed attention of farmers to
lime ns soil amendment. Lime on cow-
peas increased yield of hay by 1,350
pounds per acre, at a cost of $2.50; in
creased yield of corn by 16 bushels per
acre.
23. Maintained demonstration field for
study of cereal, corn and cotton breed
ing, soil improvement through the use
of legumes, crop rotations and fertili
zers. Has shown practicability of in
creaaing yield of corn from 11 to 100
bushels per acre, and of cotton from
one-half to 3 bales per acre.
24. Co-operative work in corn and
oat breeding is in progress with several
farmers. BeBt strains of corn yield
average of 64 bushels per acre; poorest
44 buBhels. Which are you growing?
25. Crop improvement associations
have organized in several counties for
the encouragement of cereal production.
Oats and peas oiler our farmers a rela
tively more profitable crop than corn.
Thirty bushels of corn, with stover, re
sult in over $4 worth more plant food
per acre, than 30 bushels of oats with
straw.
26. Organized truck and fruit clubs,
and is conducting investigations along a
variety of lines affecting the welfare of
fruit, truck and nut-growers of the
State. Example: Ninety-five per cent,
of sprayed apples saleable; 5 per cent,
of unsprayed saleable.
27. Is carrying on in co-operation with
the Central of Georgial railway a series
of 40-acre test farm3 which have dem
onstrated most effectively the practica
bility of scientific methods of cultiva
tion advocated by the college. On six
of these small (one man, two mule,)
farms, the pioflt in 1912 totaled $3,034,-
71. Money was lost on many of the ad
joining farms.
28. Is conducting in conjunction with
the farmers' co-operative demonstration
work of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture the farm demonstration work
now in progress in Georgia, the results
of which are enabling the farmers to
prepare for and fight the boll weevil suc
cessfully, are so wall known as to make
additional comment unnecessary.
29. Number of corn demonstrators in
1912—300 in 60 counties; acreage, 15,-
000; yield, 35 buBhels or three times av
erage of State. Number cotton demon
strators in 1912—30Q in 60 counties;
acreage 12,000; yield 1,250 pounds seed
cotton, or three times average of State.
30. Extension service of college brings,
as a result of co-operation with various
bureaus of U. S. Department of Agri
culture, about $60,000 of Federal money
into Georgia which would otherwise not
be secured.
31. The institution is encouraging re
search in every possible way, and to
this end has organized post-graduate
courses. It thus stands to-day as a bea
con light to Georgia farmers, empha
sizing and pushing forward with the ut
most vigor the agricultural trinity—in
struction, research, and extension-dem
onstration work.
32. The institution enjoys a national
reputation and its professors and grad
uates alike aro in great demand. It rep
resents the dynamo generating that
great energizing, intellectual force alone
capable of conserving and redirecting
the effort of the farmers of Georgia
and developing within the State a per
manent type of agriculture. Its stu
dents and professors are the live wires
carrying the all-powerful constructive
truthBof nature out through the exten
sion service to the people of the State.
33. Serving acceptably the interests
of a State, the future of which centers
in agricultural development und which
has a population of 2,650,000 people, iB
indeed a stupendous undertaking. The
State can expend no money calculated
to return so large a premium as the
small pittance the college seeks for the
efficient maintenance and expansion of
its work. The facts presented prove
the truth of this statement.
34. A conservative estimate based on
the foregoing figures shows that the
college through educational and exten
sion-demonstration agencies is adding
at least $5,000,000 annually to the
wealth of the State. Who can estimate
justly the influence exerted on the in
tellectual development of the people as
a whole?
35. The college only seeks an oppor
tunity to lead this great forward move-
meet in agricultural development in
Georgia.
A War That is Madness.
Now York World.
Germany has run amuck. There ia
no other explanation of the Kaiser’s
policy in forcing a general European
war.
Fortunate it is that Great Britain is
compelled to cast her sword into the
balance without further loss of time.
The issue is now joined. Either Ger
man autocracy must ho crushed, or
European democracy will he oblitera
ted. There is no middle course. If the
forces that the Kaiser has loosed are
victorious, the map of European repub
licanism mny as well be rolled up, and
the American people prepare to make
the last great stand for democracy.
All Continental Europe that is not Rus
sianized will be Prussianized. France
will be reduced to the status of a third-
rate power. Belgium, Holland and
Denmark will fall successively into the
maw of Gorman Imperialism. Italy will
become a vassal state, the sun will have
set upon the British empire as well,
and the mailed fist of the conqueror
will make ready to strike the final blow
at democracy in the New World.
The course of the German govern
ment during the last week cannot he
reconciled with any theory of political
sanity. Wantonly and deliberately the
Kaiser has plunged his sword into the
heart of civilization. The whole world is
paying the penalty of his madnesa, neu
trals as well as belligerants. Upon the
American people alone, three thousand
miles from the scene of conflict, is lev
ied a tribute of millions of dollars a day
in disorganized commerce, disorganized
industry and disorganized finance, and
the final reckoning that must be paid
for this maniacal onslaught of German
autocracy defies calculation. The hu
man imagination is staggered ns it
faces the inevitable consequences of
this supreme achievement of paranoia.
It is still possible to sympathize with
the German people in the great tragedy
that ha's overtaken them, with their
backs to the wall fighting a more pow
erful coalition than ever Napoleon
faced. But there cun be only one an
swer to the Kaiser’s challenge to Eu
rope. German autocracy lias made it
self the enemy of mankind. Its de
struction will be the emancipation of
the Gorman people themselves as well
as the salvation of European republi
canism.
A Pathetic Incident.
Mucnn Nowh.
There is a touch of the pathetic in
the cable dispatch from Baris about a
gendarme admonishing the former Em
press Eugenie against plucking a flower
in the garden of the Tuilieries, where
once she reigned in splendor second only
to that which was associated with the
throne of the first Napoleon.
This aged lady, now in her eighty-
eighth year, visits her beloved France
once a year, spending several weeks
there under an assumed name in an
out-of-the way hotel. Dressed in deep
black she goes inconspicuously about
the streets and parks. This week she
strolled into one of the public gardcnB
and stopped to pick a budding rose, only
to be halted by a guard, who warned
her against thiB trespass. Asking her
name, ho wbb little wiser when she re
plied simply, "Eugenie,”
Yet there was a time when Eugenio
was a name to he conjured with. The
granddaughter of an American consul
to Spain, the daughter of a Spanish
grandee who fought with Napoleon, she
is the last remaining link that connects
the Napoleonic dynasty with the pres
ent era. Though born six years after
the Emperor’s death, she married hiB
nephew and for nearly twenty years
occupied the throne whereon Marie An
toinette, Josephine and Maria Louisa
had sat. The rise of Josephine iB no stran
ger and no more meteoric than was the
advancement of this Spanish senorita,
whose whim it waB that led to the war
between France and Prussia, resulting
in the shameful humiliation of the latter.
Well might we exclaim, “How the
mighty have fallen,” when we read of
a policeman taking the former Empress
of France to task for breaking a (lower,
and yet there is no satisfaction to be
gained out of the incident. Rather, it
stirs our pity, and awakens a keen sym
pathy for this old woman, whose state
was once so great.

A colored woman went to the pastor
of her church recently to complain of
the conduct of her hushund, who, she

New York Times.
No gentler, kindlier, sweeter soul
ever passed from earth than that which
left it yesterday. In the womanhood
of the White House Americans have al
ways taken pride; each of its mistresses
has illustrated some admirable phase of
the American woman, and Mrs. Wilson
illustrated that of love for others. To
coll her charitable would be to use a
debased word and convey the idoa of a
mere money-giver; her charity was that"
which longs to bind up the wounded
and mend the broken; which finds the
greatest joy of life in seeing tears turn
to smiles. Not only did { the sight of
pain and suffering in others trouble her,
but the idea that it might cxiBtl some-'
where and she not know it, troubled
her; and she was never easy until she
had hunted for it, found it, and relieved
it. She rejoiced in becoming mistress
of the White House only because It
would give her more power to help oth
ers, and before she had learned her wav
down Pennsylvania avenue she was
hunting for the alley slums of Wash
ington, to see whom she could help. It
was characteristic of her, though she
would have seen nothing worthy of re
mark in it, that her dying thoughts
were for the passage of a bill she had
advocated making life easier for the
slum dwellers, and the Senate passed it,
to make her last moments happier.
They could have done nothing surer to
achieve that end.
Her elevation and her husband’s
changed neither her manner nor her
ways —a manner of unaffected simplicity
and ways of the woman of the home.
The President has said that it was
sometimes difficult for him to’Jrealize
that he was President; certainly she
never seemed to renlize that any change
had come into her life which should al
ter in the least her demeanor or her
aims. It was merely a change from
one town to another, that was all. Sim
ple, unpretending, thoughtful ofjevery-
body but herself, her courtesy||wbb not
a thing of etiquette, but the natural
expression of her nature. The White
House is haunted with memories of
many gracious women, and hers among
them will he the memory of a sunbeam.

otherwise called the king of Rome, (and
in the drama, “L’Aiglon,” the Eaglet),
for burial in the tomb of his father,
the great Napoleon.
This poor boy, who was baptized Na
poleon Francis Joseph Charles, was the
son of Napoleon 1. and Marie Louise,
archduchesB of Austria. He was born
on March 20. 1811, in Paris, at thejpal-
ace of the Tuilieries, and was named
King of Rome in his cradle. Impatient
of all restraint, he died largely a vic
tim of physical excesses, July 22, 1832.
He wus called by the Bonapurtists Na
poleon II. Napoleon abdicated in favor
of his son, hut events prevented the
reign of Napoleon II. from being more
than one of mere title. When Napoleon
was on his first exile in Elba his wife
and child went to Vienna, where they
remained during the hundred days that
preceded Waterloo in 1815, despite ef
forts by the ltonapartists to carry the
boy to his fattier at Paris. The title of
Duke of Iteichatadt was conferred on
this little prince on July 28, 1818, and
Napoleon, then a prisoner at St. He
lena, who once said that he would pre
fer that his son Hhould he strangled
rather than brought up as an Austrian
prince, had lived to see that son hearing
a rank inferior to that of the Austrian
archdukeH. The title of Duke of Reich-
stadt was derived from lands in north
ern Bohemia.
