C., Nov. 1.—A pro gramme of “safe farming” for the South is outlined in a circular which the U. S. Department of Agriculture has sent to bankers, business men and far mers in the cotton States. The history of agriculture in the South has been one of “lean” years and "fat” years. Short crops and high prices have almost invariably been followed by big crops and low priees, and, in consequence, the fnrmer has experienced much distress. The increased attention which has re cently been given to supporting the people upon the land has already re suited in much good; but there is some danger, it is pointed out, that, with the price of cotton rising, there will be a tendency for farmers to return to the old system of “gambling” on cotton. If the people of the South produced their own living it would steady the whole system and keep the boat from rocking. The safety measures reconi mended are as follows— 1. Produce a home garden for every family on the farm, the year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sufficient to supply the family with food of this character. Where feasible, have patch of sorghum or other cane to pro duce syrup for the family. 2. Produce the corn necessary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with absolute safe ty- 3. Produce the necessary oats and other small grain to supplement the corn as food. Pay attention to winter grazing. 4. Produce hay and forage from some forage crop, sufficient to supply all of the live stock on the farm. Use le gumes, such as clover, cow peas, vel vet beans, soy beans and alfalfa for the production of hay, and to enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus. 5 Produce the meat necessary to supply the people —through increased attention to poultry and hogs, especial ly. Plan to increase gradually the num berof cattle and other live stock, so as to have a sufficient number to consume the waste products of the farm and make the waste lands productive. 6. After all of these things have been amply provided for, produce cot ton for the market. A Tribute to Woman. Robert G. Inpreraoll, It takes a hundred men to make an encampment, but one woman can make a home. 1 not only admire woman as the most beautiful object ever created but I reverence her as the redeeming glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all the virtues, the pledge of all perfected qualities of heart and head. It is not just or right to lay the sins of men at the feet of woman. It is because wo men are so much better than men that their faults are considered greater, man’s desire is the foundation of his love, but a woman’s desire is born her love. The one thing in this world that is constant—the one peak that rises above all clouds—the one window in which the light forever burns—the one star that darkness cannot quench is woman’s love. It rises to the great est heights—it sinks to the lowest depths. It forgives the most cruel in juries. It is perennial of life, and grows in every climate. Neither cold ness nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty can exting -ish it. A woman’s love the perfume of the heart. This is the real love that subdues the earth; the love that has wrought all miracles art; that gives us music all the way from the cradle song to the grand clos I ig symphony that bears the soul away on wings of fire. A love that is greater than power, sweeter than life, and stronger than death. Year Without a Summer. New Philadelphia Advocate-Tribune. If weather, like history, repeats it- elf every 100 years, 1010 will be sum- merless. The year of 1816 followed the Napoleonic wars, which stirred all Europe and ended in- the battle of Waterloo in 1816, just as the decisive war will probubly be fought in Belgium this year. The year was without a summer or growing season, and pro phets predict next year will be like the weather of 100 years ago. In 1816 January was so mild that fires were used only for cooking. There were few cool days, but none that were wintry. February also was unusually mild. March was windy, but nut cold. New England farmers did most of their plowing in this month. April brought promise of an early spring, but as the days grew snow storms came and ice and snow covered the landscape. By May time the temperature was like midwinter. Buds were froSen off the trees. Ice an inch thick formed on lakes and ponds. Leaves dropped olf the trees, leaving gaunt trunko that looked lflco bleak December. Farmers, after replanting their corn several times, finally gave up in despair. June was the coldest month of roses ever experienced in this latitude Frost and ice were as common as buttercups and daisies should have been. In Ver mont the snow fell to a depth of ten inches, and the remainder of New Eng land, Ohio and Pennsylvania were cov ered and heavy wraps were worn. Far mere worked in mittens. Women knitted woolen socks. The climax came June 17, 1816, when a blinding Bnow fell so deep that entire flocks of sheep .were marooned and perished. July came in with frost and snow. There was ice an inch thick on July 4. August alHO was treated to an unsoason able temperature. At Barnet, near London, there was a snow storm on Aug. 60. September, however, saw this surprising year resume natural weather conditions. That month, and October and November, were much the same as the ordinary autumn season In December winter set in in approved fashion, and 1817 found things back in their normal condition. ; The Good Old Days. Temple? (Tex.) Mirror. “What has become of the old-fash ioned boy with cracked lips and heels,” is a question that was propounded to The Mirror man this week. In those happy days of yore, when a fellow could not whistle over half the time on account of a popped-open under lip, and when the cracks would got ho nad in his heels that the chinches would crawl in there for protection, only one remedy was known in the universe that would give relief. It was “mutton suet” and a dash of camphor, and this was awfully scarce, because the men in those days used the “mutton suet” to make a kind of hair oil which they put on their locks to cause ’em to glisten before go ing to a dance. Another reason that cracked lips were more prevalent in the days of our boyhood is that kissing was more in vogue then, and kissing will cause the lips to pop open. The old-fashioned boy had never heard of a germ; he wouldn’t have known a germ from a wildcat had he met one in the road, and he kissed for amusement. There were no picture shows to take the girl to and no automobiles to ride in, consequently the demand waH much greater than now. Besides, the oppor tunity for kissing was better then. Courting was done in the moonlight or by a tallow-dip candle, and you could put your candle in a breeze and it would be blown out about every five minutes, and while the girl was re lighting it you could kiss her. Bright lights now all along the way from home to the meeting-house has cheated many a young fellow out of a kiss, us has also the headlights of automobiles bobbing up at the wrong time. Why They Don’t Go to Church. Bob Burdette. So you are not going to church this morning, my son? “The music is not good.’’ Ah, yes, 1 sue. That's a pity. Thut's what you go to church for; to hear inu- Bic, we suppose. “And the pews uro not comfortable.” That’s too bad. The Sabbath is a day of rest, and we go to church for repose. The less we do through the week, the more rest we clamor for on the Sab bath. "Tho church is too far awuy; it is too far to walk, and I have no way of rid ing.” This is indeed distressing. Some times. when 1 think how much farther away heaven is than the church and that there are no conveyancos on the road of any description, I wonder how some of us are going to get there. ‘And tho sermon is too long al ways.” All these things are, indeed, to be re gretted. 1 would regret them more sin cerely, my boy, did 1 not know that you will often squeeze into a stuffed street car, with a hundred other men, breathing an incense of whiskey, beer and tobacco, hang to a strap by your eyelids for two miles, and then pay 50 cents for the privilege of sitting on a rough plank in the hot sun for two hours longer, while in the interval of the game u wheezy band will blow dis cordant thunder out of a dozen misfit horns right into your ears, and come homo and talk the rest of the family into aural paralysis about the “dandi est game you over saw played out on the home ground.” Ah, my boy, you see what staying away from church does. It develops habit of lying. There isn’t one man in a hundred who could go on the witness stand and, under oath, give tho same reasons for not going to church that he gives his family every Sabbath morn ing. My son, if you don’t think you ought to go to church you would not make any excuses for not going. No man upologizeB for doing right. The past is fixed. No tears can wash away its facts. We should waste no regrets upon it; but from the wisdom its very Bins have taught us, we should start afresh on the race. Cured Boy of Croup. Nothing frightens a mother more than the loud, hoarse cough of croup. The labored breathing, strangling, choking and gasping for breath call for instant action. Mrs. T. Neureuer, Eau Claire, Wis.,says: “Foley’s Honey and Tar cured my boy of a serious attack of croup after other remedies had failed. I recommend it to every one, as we know from our own experience that it is a wonderful remedy for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough.” It clears air passages, soothes and heals. J. F. Lee Drug Co. Remember, when assailed by afflic tion, that every cloud has a silver lin ing, and, could wo but seo aright, many apparent calamities are but blessings in disguise. Hope is a better companion than fear, and morning is ever the daughter of night. Whatever is, is right; presumption alone would avert the hand of Providence. Give us, oh, give us, the man who sings at his work. Be his occupation what it may, he is superior to those who follow the same pursuit in silent sullenness. He will do more in the same time, he will do it better, he will persevere longer. One is scarcely sensible of fatigue while one marches to music. The very stars are said to make har mony as they revolve in their spheres. Beware of Cheap Substitutes. In these days of keen competition it is important that the public should see that they get Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and not take substitutes sold for the sake of extra profit. Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy has stood the test and been approved for more than forty years. Obtainable everywhere. How They Lost Their Homes, Irish World. Through the gambling instinct. They lot their insurance run out. They bought things they did not need because they were cheap. They did not use good judgment or right proportion in their expenditures. They subscribed for everything they could pay for on the installment plan. They did not realize how easy it is to get into debt und how hard it is to get out. They tried to do what others expect ed of them rather than what they could afford. They could not say “No,” and could not tell their friends, "I cannot afford it.” They drew their money out of tho savings bank to put it in some "wild cat” scheme and lost it. They did not do business in a busi ness-like way, because they were deal ing with relatives or friends. They signed important paperB with out reading them or knowing their con tents, just because they wore asked to do so. The extravagance of children who had not been trained to economize, or to take care of the pennies, swamped the home. The mania to make an appearance be yond their meanB caused them to mort gage their property and end in bank ruptcy. When the shoe began to pinch they “really did not seo where they could retrench.” Habit had made luxuries seem necessities. They entertained too expensively and a great deal more than they could af ford, because they wanted people to think they were in good circumstances. Their efforts to force their daughters into the society of those above them, in the hope that they might make “bril liant matches,” involved them .hope lessly in debt. Shots Near Slaton’s Home. Atlanta Special to Mucon Telegraph. Atlanta, Oct. III.—Fulton county po lice, after an investigation as to the source of shots hoard early to-day near tho country home in the northern part f Fulton county of former Gov. John M. Slaton, said to-night there was no reason to believe tho disturbance had any connection with alleged threats made to harm Slaton shortly after he commuted the sentence of Leo M. Frank from hanging to life imprison ment. Shots were fired, the police learned, hut they apparently were half a mile away from the Slaton home, and were attributed to a boisterous automo bile party or to 'possum-hunters. The former Governor, whose commu tation of Frank’s sentence in Juno laBt, just before his term of office onded, was followed a short time later by Frank being lynched, had been away from Atlanta since then until about three weuks ago. Frank had been con victed of the murder of M iry Phagan, and much bitter feeling was felt at Sla ton’s commutation of the death sentence. State militia guarded the Slaton home for several weeks after Frank’s commu tation. Shortly after that Mr. and Mrs. Slaton visited Now York, and later the Pacific coast. Since their roturn to At lanta they have occupied their town residence. There hus been no open threat of vio lence against Slaton since he returned, so far as known. Several watchmen have been kept on duty at tho country residence, and their first knowledge of shots in that vicinity last night came, they said, from newspaper men who dashed up the drivewuy to tho house, their automobile horns sounding loudly to announce their eoming. “Don’t ever come tearing up this driveway at night again, even if you do make a noise,” said a watchman to one of the newspaper men. “It’s a wonder 1 didn’t fill that car full of lead.” Made Over Again. Mrs. Jennie Miner, Davidson, Ind. writes: “1 cun truthfully say Foley’s Cathartic Tablets are tho best I ever used. They are so mild in action. I feel like 1 have been made over again.” Good health has no greater enemy than constipation. Foley’s Cathartic Tablets keep the stomuch sweet, liver active, bowels regular, and banishes bilious ness, sick headache, sour stomach. Stout persons welcome' tho light, free feeling they give. J. F.

Newnan Readers Can No Longer Doubt the Evidence- Tins Newnan citizen testified long ago. Told of quick relief—of undoubted benefit. The facts are now confirmed. Such testimony is complete—the evi dence conclusive. It formB convincing proof of merit. W. T. La'.enby, 64 Wesley St., New nan, says; “The kidney secretions were too frequent in passage and 1 suffered from backache for several years. I tried different remedies but they all failed to correct the trouble. Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from the J. F. Lee Drug Co., gave me immediate re lief.” The above statement was given Feb. 12, 1608, and on Feb. 26, 1915, Mr. Lazeriby said: “I still use Doan’s Kidney Pills once in a while and they keep my back and kidneys in good con dition. ” Price 60c., at all dealers. Don’t sim ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Lazenhv had. Foster-Milburn Co., I'ripti., Buffalo, N. Y. Oftentimes the most discouraging criticilm is received at home—the very last place from which it should come. As a flower loves the dew, and as it turns its face to the sun, so tho soul seeks appreciation and yearns for sym pathy. No one can do his test work unless there is some one who believes in him. Encouragement is the best- known tonic. It strengthens the soul hh well as the body. Thon never be afraid, oh, woman, of being too lavish of praise of husband or children. If a loved one does something well, do not be afraid to say so; or, if you must criticize, do it gently, lovingly, at the same time showing him that you be lieve he can do better.
