Atlanta, May 1R. — The Georgia De partment of Agriculture considers none of its recent efforts more valuable or important to the individual and to the State than that of seeking to induce the Georgia farmer to raise his own food supplies at homo. The establishment of its market de partment and the selling of nitrogen forming bacteria to the farmers at cost are two of the agencies the department has made use of to encourage the home- growing of food supplies. The efforts of the veterinary department and other agencies have already been turned in that direction. “I believe and hope we are going to keep out of the European war,” said Commissioner J. D. Price in a state ment issued to-day, "hut we cannot close our eyes to the fact that we are in greater danger of getting into a fight with some foreign country than wo have been in many years. If we should happen to get into it you are going to Bee the price of foodstuffs soar, and the man who has his corn- crib and smoke-house well filled will be in luck, while his neighbor who has neglected to prepare for it will be de pendent on him. There is the same dif ference between living at home and buying abroad, as there is between in dependence and dependence; —it is a question of taking your choice. “On the other hand, if we keep out of the war, as we all hope, there is just as much reason for making at home what ia needed in the way of food for the family and for the stock. European demand is going to keep prices way up, and even though we should not make one dollar’s worth to sell, we'll find at the end of the year that the man who has grown his food crops along with his cotton is independent, and the man who has not is dependent on somebody else ”1 don’t care how much cotton a far mer raises, if he only takes care of the food situation first. Make enough corn and oats and hay for the stock, enough grain and vegetables and meat for the family, and you are in a position to defy the cotton market, no matter what it does. If you haven't got a cow or a pig. figure on getting them, and raise food for them now. If three-fourths of our Georgia farmers had been living at home when the cotton.crisis came last fall there wouldn't have been any cot ton crisis. When we make our own foods we'll he independent, but not un til then." materially to this year. the yield of food crops Owing to tHe trouble the veterinary division of the State Department of Agriculture has had in dealing with shipment of hogs, either infected or ex posed to infection, into Georgia, it has been found necessary to issue a special order (No. 18) to govern the shipment of swine, both from points outside and within the State, to Georgia points. This rule has been made solely with a view to the protection of the Georgia farmer against the introduction of hog cholera and other infectious diseases. Not only is the shipment of diseased or exposed swine prohibited, but all public stockyards are listed as infectious, and shipments from them must be made under the direction of the State Veter inarian or one of his agents. In all cases of exposure prescribed treatment is required before the shipment can be made. All shipments not made in ac cordance with the rules will be subject to quarantine. A copy of the new or der may be had upon application to the department. Life’s Lesson. •If we live to any purpose it is to learn as we live, and the learning that makes life worth while ia the sort that helps us to grow inwardly—I hesitate to say spiritually, for so many persons misinterpret that word. As a matter of fact, to live spiritually should be the ultimate aim of every person who lives. After one has come in sight of the “40” mile-post—it lies just the other side of ray next year- one begins to understand what the poet meant when he said, “Life is real, life is earnest.” Yet to day 1 find life more enjoyable than I did at thirteen, or even thirty years ago. For all the time I am learning better to estimate things at their true value. The first of these lessons is one I began to learn long ago, when the handle of the lawn-mower calloused my hands and the early dew on the grass gave my bare feet a foretaste of the joys to he exploited a few years later in a once famous “cure.” It is the lesson which in a certain old primer stands out in bold type thus: “Work is joy for the boy.” Yes, that is one of the really big things to learn. What pleasures follow in its train! What health attends it! What satisfac tion serves it! Of course, we complain about it, and chafe under it, and all that. But when we can't get it or when sickness takes it from us—what a bless ing it seems! And what a blessing it is! To think that we are fed on a theo logy which sets forth as a “curse” work, and children. Thanks be, our theology includes them under the head of blessings. And if I had the power of the storm wind, the voice of the bell, the brain of Shakespeare, and a tongue which never could he tired, I could not even then tell you all 1 think and feel about children. I suppose the best recipe for happi ness is equal parts of work and chil dren. "Life is real, life is earnest, ” and life is also rich and enthusing if we but do ou- work as well as we can, and keep fresh in our hearts the faith and fearlessness of children. These are the guide-posts which show us the way to real, earnest living. ternaiive emergency covered by the policy of holding Germany to a "strict accountability." The usual formality of note exchanging and representations must he followed; but the ultimate re fusal of Germany to meet the Ameri can demands already is determined. Germany will continue to destroy bel ligerent vessels without warning. If Americans persist in traveling under the British, French or Russian flags they may he killed. An official of the German embassy has said that this was the German posi tion, and that it would not be modified or abandoned. He added that the Ger man Foreign Office would politely in form the State Department that Ger many regrets that Americans have been killed, but it cannot accept the terms of the United States Govern ment. In other words, the crisis is not far distant. As has already been an nounced, President Wilson’s note holds Germany to a "strict accountability” and demands assurances that she will immediately change her policy, so that no more Americans will follow those who went to the bottom on the “Lusi tania,” and no more American shipB will be attacked by German subma rines. Despite the grave possibilities in the present situation there appears to be no apparent desire on the part of the diplomats who are familiar with Ber lin’s viewpoint to avoid the issue. If statements made in diplomatic circles can be credited, Germany is not at all worried by prospects of war with the United States. It is suggested in responsible quar ters that she is looking for an excuse to break off relations, because she is prepared to send a flotilla of two hun dred submarines on the high seas to de stroy every munition or food-carrying vessel that leaves the United States for British and French ports. The greatest single desire on the part of Germany, according to these diploma tists, is to block the allies' supplies of American-made guns and cartridges. To carry out this plan she would wel come an open rupture with the United States. The American army is not taken se riously in Germany, and the American navy would be of negligible value in the present conflict, according to the Ger man military leaders, and the hostility of the United States would be more than balanced by the lessened quantity of war munitions being shipped from this country. German diplomats insist that Russia will be helpless whenever the American supply of guns and am munition is cut off, and that her only hope lies in a continuance of importa tions from America. The Administration will not alter its policy in the slightest degree. The President has reached a final conclu sion. His cabinet has approved his po sition. He is satisfied that the Ameri can people will approve. The Adminis tration will await Germany’s formal reply, and it is believed that prepara tions will immediately be started to support the President’s determination that Germany shall be held to a "strict accountability.’’ Germany’s failure to accept the President's demands will be met with n withdrawal of diplomatic representatives. When this action is taken the situation will depend alto gether upon Germany. War to the Bitter End. Macon Telegraph. The sinking of the "Lusitania” haB convicted the Prussianism of Germany of everything charged against it, be- | cause the "Lusitania" has proven that j they are eagerly capable — and this brings us to the Germany of the mor row. Frederick Palmer, the most I conservative but the most authoritative of the war correspondents, writing in Collier’s, says that the English are g<- ingon with it to the end, until Germany drinks the cup of bitterness and defeat to the very lees, and he is right. Talk of peace until Germany is so prostrated that the victors can strike from the seats of power and influence in Ger many the Hohenzollernism which has wrecked it so—spiritually long since, and physically very soon —is untenable. This thing must be done for the good of the world, for the safety of mankind, for the very maintenance of the color of civilization. YeB, even if the Eng lish and French have to batter their way to Berlin and down Unter den Linden to Potsdam and bring back the arch-slayer to the courts of England to answer to the charge of murder which now stands against his name and house. This thing must be done, even if we have to help do it. There is little doubt that England and France will have it done before the winter sets in again, for once the German line breaks it will break for good. They have al ready lost around a million and three- quarters of their finest troops, accord ing to their own bulletins—and the lovely land across the Rhine will see in steel-shod armies sweeping across its fertile, prosperous countryside the tan gible proof of the downfall of the policy which has crucified the land and peo ple of Wagner, Beethoven, Goethe and Luther.

We, members of the Turin Bible Study Class, express our deep sorrow in the death of one of our charter members, Mrs. G. O. Scroggin, whose spirit took it flight heavenward on Wednesday evening, April 21. Since the organization of this class by and at the home of Mrs. A. S. Carmichael five years ago, of the first seven members no one has been more faithful than she. Always meeting with Mrs. Carmi chael, she had her place and chair. Whereas, o’ershadowed by the sad ness of this vacancy, and feeling our loss so keenly, we desire to put on our record our love and appreciation of her whose life was Bucb a beautiful exem plification of the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ and a benediction to us. Therefore, be it resolved— 1. That we bow submissively to the will of our Father, and offer a prayer of thanksgiving to Him for being per mitted to have had her with us and the influence of such a noble, consecrated Christian character. 2. That while we have sustained a great loss, yet let us profit by her ex ample of faithfulness and constancy, and strive to help the cause she loved. 3. That we tender to the bereaved ones our Christian sympathy, and com mend them to the care of Him whose service was her chief delight. 4. That these resolutions be published in our home paper and a copy furnished her family. Bible Study Class. Turin, Ga., May 13th. For a Torpid Liver. “1 have used Chamberlain's Tablets off and on for the past six years when ever my liver shows signs of being in a disordered condition. They have al ways acted quickly and given me the desired relief," writes Mrs. F. H. Tiubus, Springville, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. There are going to be more field peas and other leguminous crops in Georgia this year than ever before. This is al ready evident from the interest the far mers are taking in the use of nitrogen forming bacteria. Their interest is shown by the fact that they are order ing supplies of these bacteria as fast or faster than the laboratory of the State Department of Agriculture can culti vate them. The department feels well repaid for its efforts in arranging to sup ply the Georgia farmers with this bac teria at practical cost, as the many let- ^ dear ters und messages received clearly indi cate that it is goine to result in adding Chamberlain s Liniment. This preparation is intended especial ly for rheumatism, lame hack, sprains and like ailments. It is a favorite with people who are well acquainted with its splendid qualities. Mrs. Charles Tan ner, of \\ abash, Ind.. says of it: "1 have found Chamberlain's Liniment the best thing for lame hack and sprains 1 have ever used, it works like a charm and relieves pain and soreness. It has been used by others of my family as well as myself for upwaids of twenty years." 25 and 50 cent bottles. For sale by all dealers.
