“HONOR”A THING FORGOTTEN
Prussian Officer Unable to Understand
Idea of Any Obligations of
Hospitality.
A typical llltiHlrntlon of German
mle In Poland before freedom enrao
to Its people Is Riven by Sirs. Cecil
Chesterton In the New Witness. The
German military authorities hnd ls-
aued a command to the people of War
saw tlmt they should furnish a list of
tholr rnetnls and plate, from door
bandies to samovars.
A German officer billeted In a Polish
household, says Mrs. Chesterton,
found himself lonely on. Christmas
day. The-family was keeping tho fes
tival, and the officer sent n note ask
ing If he might Join tho pnrty. The
hostess was compelled to assent, and
Herr Lieut. Grun'sbnch partook of a
lavish supper. It happened that his
hostess hnd kept back a silver samo
var, which, usually secreted under the
bed, on Chrlstmns day shone forth In
ell Its glory.
Some j>ne suggested thnt It would
be wiser to remove the samovar be
fore the Herr Lieutenant entered, but
the hostess Insisted thnt he was thero
es a guest nnd not as an enemy, nnd
that even a Prussian would respect
the bread nnd salt The evening fol
lowing the pnrty an unpleasant-look
ing man enme to tho house accom
panied by two German soldiers. Ho
hnd called to collect the snmovnr that
the Herr Lieutenant hnd reported. Not
only did lie remove the samovnr, hut
be OBHCRRod a lino because the low had
been disobeyed.
Shortly nfterwnrd the officer asked
his hostess why she avoided him.
What had he done tb offend her? She
could no longer restrain her Indigna
tion nnd told him what she thought
of him—to Ills profound astonishment.
How could she blame him for doing
what wns obviously his duty? Hos
pitality entnlled no obligation to for
get one's fatherland. Germany had
need of samovars. Wlint mattered
else?—Youth’s Companion.
REFUSE TO SURRENDER RELIC
Citizens of Little French Town of
I Alan Offer Lives In Defense
I . of 8tone Cow.
The famous stone cow of Alan, a
lltlle town In Hie Haute Garonne,
France. Is again the center of a light
between the peasants of tho village
find, the Ministry des Denux Arts In
J'urls. Twice tho ministry has sold
the cow. which dates back to the llt-
teenth century, and each time tho
villagers, have fought with pitchforks
and cluhs all attempts to remove It
from the front of the Njitkcopnl pul-
ace.
After the war a Paris nnllnue deal
er. knowing, the history of the stone
cow. persuaded tho Ministry des
Beaux Arts to sell It to him. Once be
fore they sold the cow, hut all Ihe
gendmlines thnt they could center on
Alan fulled lo gel the monument. The
purchaser assurls thn\ he will remove
.It and place.lt In front of a Parisian
mansion. The peasants of Alim have
iiguln armed, and this time with mod
ern weapons, for llltlo of the old vil

Blower Recovers Waste Cement.
The hags In which cement Is ship
ped hove e considerable return vnluo,
because of tho charnctor of tho ma
terial entering Into the manufacture,
so thnt all large consumers And It
necessary lo see Hint these are gath
ered up and returned tu the emuent
plant.
Heretofore It has been regarded as
sufficient to turn tho bng upside down
ond shake It as a means of emptying.
But recently It has been .found that'
this method Is wasteful In the ex
treme. and the cement Is now recov
ered by a blower.
By this means from one and one-
half to two sucks of cement are re
covered per 1,000 sacks cleaned. Two
men can dean a,000 sacks a duy, be
sides sorting, counting and bundling
them. Tho cemeut recovered ninks a
credit to the cost of Bundling of ubout
$2.50 a day.
Sell Many Door Locks.
The crime wave la resulting In much
Dew business for the hardware store
man . these days. Padlocks, heavy
chains and burglar alarm devices are
being sold like' hot cakes, nnd persons
who never before thought to lock
their doors are now taking double
measures agnlnBt Intruders.
“Until a few months ago," said a
hardware man, "we sold door chains
only occasionally. Now we can't sup
ply tlie demand. New Yorkers, ns a
rule, arc careless, but I think that the
present activity of the crooks will
teach them a lesson. My advlge to
persons living In apartments Is to
keep their. doors well chained. Pro
fessional crooks will get Into almost
any place, but extra precautions on
hall doors will keep the sneak thief
out."—New York Sun.
Women's Hair Price Increases.
The price given by hairdressers for
women's hair has Increased enormous
ly during the last 12 months. While
some women In America nnd Britain
sell their hair, the real trade In this
commodity is done fit Continental
countries. Peasant girls In France,
Belgium and Italy sell their hair at
regular periods to dealers. This hair
Is mostly of the fair nnd black vari
ety. while most golden hair la ob
tained from Scandinavians.
ODD BELIEFS OF JAPANESE
Popular Superstitions Have Mostly
> Sprung From Moral Precepte
and Are Quite Harmlese.
There are many populur, as distin
guished from religious, superstitions
In .Tnpan. These originally sprung
from mostly moral precepts and are
quite harmless, They prevail more
Widely among people In the rural and
mountain districts than among city
dwollers nnd among the older and Ig
norant classes than among the young
and educated groups. Some of tliese
superstitions are:
At a marriage ceremony n dress of
purple color Is taboo, lest the mutual
love of the bride nnd groom be soon
lost, ns purple Is a color most liable
to fade.
If while n person Is very 111 a cup
of medicine be upset by accident, It
is a sure sign of Ills recovery; he
needs medicine no longer.
Fire Is the spirit of the god Kojlln.
'It Is supposed to, have a purifying ef
fect and must be respected. To step
on Are, to throw refuse In It, will
cause the wrath of the god and hence
a calamity. Tho bore Is hot unknown
In .Tnpnn, nnd the Japanese are. pes
tered with visitors who sit their wel
come out nnd drive their hosts Into
a frenzy of engerness to get rid of
them. The Jupanese recipe of getting
rid of them Is ns follows: Go to tne
kitchen, turn the broom upside down,
put n towel over It nnd fan It lustily.
The tedious visitors will soon depart.
Japanese babies and children are
not allowed to look Into mirrors, for
If they do, when they grow up and
marry they will have twins. ,
When measles, chlckenpox or whoop
ing cough prevails In n neighborhood
nnd pnrents do not wish to have their
children become Infected they put a
notice on the front door stating that
their children are absent
HILL RICH IN HIGH-GRADE ORE
Mound In Mexico That Is 8ald by Ex
ports to Be Worth In Neighbor
hood Of $5,000,000,000.
Primitive peoples have nn uncanny
Instinct for miming things accurate
ly. Centuries after the natives had
named n litll outside the city of Dur
ango, Mexico, "The Devil’s Finger
Tip," scientists came along nnd sol
emnly announced tlmt It was formed
of hematite, nnd Imd apparently been
Jnbbod up through the earth’s surface
from molten masses far below.
This Iron hill rises for 700 feet sheer
above Ihe surrounding plain, nnd m
said to contain 000,000,000 tons of
high-grade ore rated at 70 per cent
In Iron content. In a report made
Just before the World war a British
expert said thnt the li-pn In the hill
Is worth $5,000,000,000, or Would he
If so located as to assure protection
In tlie operation of the property. i
Put In nnother way, Mercado moun
tain, for tho hill Is so named after
the Spanish explorer who was tho
first white man to see It, contains
Iron which, -If marketed today, would
bring more money than the entire
sum represented by all of the gold and
silver taken out of Mexico between
1(I0!I and 18011, when the exploitation
of Mexlenn mines was at Its peak.
True Trachoma Easily Transmitted.
At u recent meeting of tlie Ameri
can Medical association Dr. John Mc-
Mulltn, surgeon, U. S. Public Health
service, storied a lively debate In the
section on preventive medicine by
reading a paper In which he assorted
that much of the so-called trachoma
which a (ft let cd the eyes of American
children Is not trachoma and not con
tagious.
The original cause of this Inflamma
tion of tho eyelids |s unknown, but
It Is known with certaTht.v that It Is
transmitted with ease from one eye to
another. There Is another type, called
folliculitis, which Is not contngious
nnd con easily he cured, while the
true trnchomn necessitates a slight
surgical operation nnd careful treat
ment; nnd, even with this, It Is by
no means certain thnt It Is ever per
manently cured.
CHILD MURDER.
Sochi I Circle Sentinel-
In a court trial h few yearn ago for
pro-natal murder, a physician testified
that If every physician who did this
kind of work were arrested nil tlie
churches would lmve to be turned into
jnils; nnd nsked by the coroner if ho
Imil ever done tho snmo said: “Yes,
hut you. can’t, prove it- ’ ’
How far the assertion with reference
to the medical profession is true and
how far false we have no means of as
certaining- There nre few nmong the
number who would have the hardihood
to make the declaration made by this
doctor- However, it is all too probable
tlmt tlie crime of pre-natal murder Is
widespread niul increasing- Tlie number
of child births in what is known ns the
“high classes’’ has been rapidly dimin
ishing during lnte years, society’s main
increase ‘coming through the middle
nnd lower classes. Such wns tlie case
with Roman society of old when the
dny of the empire’s downfall was has
tening Oil-
In a brief and suggestive work re
cently published, Dr- Pnquin, late pro
fessor of comparative mcjliclno in the
Missouri State University, gives the re
sults of a sories of investigations, made
by Him on this subject, revealing con
ditions wliic.ii nre, truly appalling. He
says:
t‘Of 500 women in six different de
nominations, married not less than five
nor more than fifteen years, selected in
differently nmong the well-tordo—taking
enre not to include anyone who hnd last
a single child even—tho following -vas
obtained: Of 100 in denomination A,
(Protestant,) 18 nre childless) of 100 in
denomination B, (Protestant;)- 10 are
childless; of 100 in denomination C,
(Protestant,) liino are childless; of 100
in denomination D, (Jow,) eight are
childless; of 100 in denomination E,
(Roman Catholic,) three are childless;
of 100 in denomination F, (Greek
Church,) two are childless- “It is
safe,” continues Dr- Paquin, “to con
clude that marriage under many cir-
uumstances affords a convenient cloak
to cover repulsive crimes, and that
Christianity, in some denominations at
least, is Inadequate to prevent them,
while id others it prevents the most re-
prcssilile, but fails to subdue the pas
sions permanently, or even for n satis
factory length of time—not enough to
eradicate what Is known as lust-”
CONTROLLING THE
BOLL WEEVIL
‘HOPELESSLY DEMOCRATIC.”
Savannah Press-
A prominent visitor to Savannah, who
is evidently not up on politics .in Amer
ica, asked a reporter of The.. Savannah
■Press the other day “if Georgia wns
hopelessly Democratic? ”
’ The answer, of course, was that Geor
gia is hopefully Democraticalways
lias been, nnd probably will bo for a
gia is hopefully .Democratic;—• always
long time.
Georgia is Democratic because tho
only antagonist of tho Democratic par
ty is u. party which is hopelessly sec
tional—always lias been- It wns organ
ized in sectionalism- It became an anti-
slavery pnrty, nnd, having freed tlie
negro, tried to enslave tlie South. It
did not stop in war days, but left a
dark path ill reconstruction timed- It
did not coase then, but .it lias been anti-
/Southern over since- In tlie last' Pres:
idontial eampnign ono of the stronge'dj
cards tliut tho Republicans presented to
tlioir constituents was tlia’t\“ tlio South
was in tlie saddle-” The rumor that
cotton in tho South was high- and this,
suction whb making plenty of • money a
yenr ago, Hecmod to infuriate many Re
publican leaders- So whether the South
preferred it or not, it was forced to bo
Democratic and has beori forced to re
main solid. It is true that there was
n defection in Tennessee last year, caus
ed by a protest over the adoption of the
Eighteenth Amendment, and dissatisfac
tion nmong the people as to the way
it was brought about- But no one for
n moment doubts that Tennessee is nor
mally nnd safely Democratic-
People ask if Qoorgia is “hopelessly.
Democratic, ” ns if Georgia were joined
to some discreditable idol- There really
doosu’t seem to bo much for her out
side of tlie Democratic party- She
finds her South Atlantic and Gulf ports
discriminated against and her cotton pro
ducts -tied up- Tho" only concession of
fered her is the emergency tariff biil,
which contains a.protection on peanuts-
Yes, in spite of Iier many reverses
mid her long delays in reaching tho
Promised Lund, Georgia continues to be
optomistic nnd will cling to Democracy
as her chief safeguard.
Paderewski's Descent In Life.
Jo Davidson, tho sculptor, who res
cently roturned to the United States
after many months In Europe, where
many great men posed for him, relates
the following pnssnge between Cle-
mencenn nnd Paderewski, which, Da
vidson says, occurred In hts presence:
"Clemoncenn Is a gruff old sort of
fellow," Davidson relates. "He was
receiving Ignnce. Paderewski,
" 'Are you Paderewski, the great pi
anist?' he nsked.
’’ ’Yes,’ replied the artist, bowing.
"’And you have Just been elected
premier of Poland?’
"Again Paderewski bowed and an
swered In the affirmative.
"Ctcmencenu looked nt him n mo
ment and then shook bis head Badly,
saying: ’My God. what a come
down 1 ]’"
Preserving tho Salmon.
Completion of an Improved $40,000
salmon hatchery nt Madison, Conn.,
for restocking eastern streams with
Ihe valuable food fish that disap
peared from that region practically
a century ago, Is'nwakentng renewed
Interest In the cliuse of thnt early de
pletion. according to Popular Me
chanics Magazine. The too common
construction of dams without proper
fish Udders, blocking the seasonal as
cent of the salmon from the sea, ex
plains the impending loss of this
great natural resource, a condition
often technically difficult of correc
tion because many of the streams are
not listed as navigable waters.
You have rend great numbers 'of'arti
cles by eminent business men on reduc
tion of cotton Acreage and prospective
prices for 1921 and by cotton exports on
tho cultivation and control of the Boll
Weevil by pdiBoulng with Cnlciutn Ar
senate- •
Whatever your conclusions, drawn
from these expert advisers, the vital
problem remaining is whether you can
afford to control tlie boll weevil by poi
soning or whether you can afford not
to uso poison-
The State Board of Entomology has
gotten out a bulletin, No. 59, showing
that where poison is properly applied,
using the dusting method, enough more
cotton has been raised to cover the cost
of a power machine, the cost of the cal
cium and tlie cost of the labor necessary
to apply it- And enough more seed
to npply it- Ann enough more seed
have also been obtained to materially
add to the grower’s'income-
U- S- Department of Agriculture Bul
letin No- 162 by Prof- B- R- Goad and.
T. P, Cassidy shows that by using the
Cart type duster and Calcium Arsenate
of a government standard, poisoning to
control the boll weevil will pay, provided
it is put on. at the right time and in the
proper way-
The State Board of Entomology rec
ommends that “If there-is heavy infes
tation of the boll weevil, the cotton
Bhould be dusted early in the season, at
least once and probably twice, just be
fore th» squares become large enough
to be punctured by the weevil.
The State College of Agriculture, at
Athens also has published bulletins-cov-
ering experiments on this subject-
Anyone interested will be furnished
copies of these bulletins by the South
ern Brokerage Co-
The fact that the Niagara Sprayer;
Company’s Cart Type Machine meets
the two vital necessities for controlling
the bpll weevil, being the right type of
dusting machine and using the govern
ment standard of calcium arsenate, has
secured the endorsement of both the
State College of Agriculture and the'
State Board of Entomology- The ma
chine has a capacity for the control of
the boll weevil on .100 acres- ,
The Southern Brokerage Company of
Fort Valley, Georgia, has the machines
and the materials in stock and is in a
position to soil them at such prices and
on such terms as will enable you to buy
them and PROFITABLY uso them-
It has always been the policy of the
Southern Brokerage Company to work
with 1 the farmer and planter in every
way tlmt it enn, especially through the
State Board and County Agents-
The Niagara Diamond Brand Calcium
Arsenate and Cart Type Cotton Dusting
Machines are not excelled.
Write this concern at Fort Valley,
Georgia, for full particulars, as some of
last year 's experiments show tlmt there
was a different of about five (5e) cents
per pound between the cost of raising
dusted and uhdiisted cotton, in favor of
the, dusted cotton,—Adv- /
Care of Palms.
■ Palms are hardy things which may
be grown in rooms for years/with good
results. Keep them near the window
so that they may get plenty of light
The best soil for them consists of
three parts of fibrous loam, one part
each of leaf mold and decayed loam,
and a tenth of coarse sand. The or
dinary watering rules don't apply to
them ; they should only be watered
when tlie pot rings hollow under the
hand, and at no other time, During
mild showers, stand them out In the
rain for an hour or two, as this cleans
-and freshens them and opens the
pores of the leaves.
