'LOWED HE'D PLANT ALL COT-
TON..
The verses printed below were written
by Sidney 1,tinier, tho well-known door
gin poet, fifty years ago. Tho dishy re
ferred to was Joseph dishy, editor of
tlm Macon Telegraph at that time—
That air same .Jones that-lived in Jones,
Ho had this pint about him:
He’d swear with a hundred sighs and
groans
That farmers must stop gittin' loans
A"’ g>t along without ’em;—,
Mint Linkers, wnrcliouBOmch .and sich
Was fatt’nin’ on the planter,
Ami Tennessy was rotten-rich
A-rnlsIn' moat and corn—all which
, Draw'll inoney to Atlanta.
An' the only thing (says .Tones) to do
Is to eat no meat that’s boughten,
But tear up every T. O. U.
An' plant nil corn an ’ swenr for truu
To quit a raisin’ cotton.
Thus spouted Jones twhar nil could
hear,
At court an’ other gntlicrin’s),
An ’ thus kept spoutin ’ many a year,
Proclaimin’ loudly fur an’ near
Such fiddlesticks and blntherin's.
But one all-fired sweatin’ day
It happened when 1 was liouln’
My lower eorufioid, which it lny
’Longsido tho road that runs my way,
Wlmr I can boc what’s goin’.
An' nrter twelve o’clock had come
I felt a kinder faggin ’,
An’ laid myself un’ncatli a plum
To lot my dinner Bottle sum,
When ’long come Jones’ waggin.
Ah' Jones was sottln ’ in, ho,
A-rundin’ of a paper;
His mule was goin’ pow’fnl Blow,
For lie had tied tile lines onto
, Tim staple of the scraper.
The mules they stopped about a rod
From me and wont to feedin'
’liungside flic road, upon the sod,
But Jones (which fie Imd tuck a “tod")
Not kaowin', kept n-rendin ’.
An' presently says lie: “Hit's true,
Old dishy's head is level;
Thar’s one tiling fanners all iiumt. do,
To keep tlielrselvos from goin' lew
Bnnkrplvy an’ the devil,
“More coral More corn! must plant

An' mustn't eat what’s boughten;—
Next year they’ll do it, reasonin’ sound,
(Ah' tut tun ’ll fetch bout a dollar a

CLUB WORK
FOR THE MONTH—
Hear Club Member: Below you
fjiul information ami Suggestions
carrying mil the month’s work,
fher.e points carefully:
We have come to the time when little
chicks should have been hutched long
past now. From now on our care will
iio with developing those chicks to best
advantage, for tlieir future performance
ns layers this full and winter, and also
for the full shows, licmcmlior not to
feed tho little chicks for tit) to 70 hours
after they are hatched, Their I!rut feed
is to lie lino rolled oats, or crushed hard
boiled eggs, gradually changing into
commercial "baby chick" feed, with
plenty of sour milk or elabbor. As tho
chicks get older they should liavo a dry
mush kept before thorn, Thu same mash
thttt we recommend for laying liens may
be usud, (with a little wheat bran add
ed,) or the following may las made up
ami fed necording to tiie formula: 30
lbs. wheat bran, 10 lbs. shorts, 10 lbs.
meat scrap. This contains tlm necessary
amount of protein to make bone and
muscle—essential to proper chick develop
ment. For best growth keep this mash
boforo thorn all tho lime, feed lightly of
baby chick feed night and morning, and
keep fresh water ami sour milk before
them to drink.
Watch out for mites and lice this
month. Keep mites down with kerosene
oil, and lice with commercial powders or
sodium florlde, which can be purchased
at any drug store. Don’t forget tho two
very essential tilings—plenty of slmde,
and clean, fresh water.

DRESDEN CLUB—
This is tho tirst year tho ' Dresden
school has had a sufficient number of
club members to organize a club. They
are doing splendid work, mid making
plans to raise money for an oil stove,
so they will be ready for cooking without
depending on the stove to be brought to
them each meeting. I have heard
that money can be raised any time for
tho school at Dresden.. Below is
copy of tho miuutos of their last meet
ing;
■“The Dresden Girls’ Demonstration
Club held its regular meeting Thursday
May 19. The meeting was called to
order by the president. Minutes of last
meeting read and approved. The girls
answered to roll-call by telling what
they had done since the Inst meeting.
All of tiio girls Imd done some garden
work, and -all who wore present at the

DISCOVERING
DISEASED TONSILS—
Parents need not always wait, for ex
amining physicians to Ire perfectly sure
that a child is suffering from diseased
tonsile or adenoids. Very often thore
are actual symptoms of conditions which,
if understood, will convince tho pnront
tlmt, something wrong is present, and an
Immediate examination by a doctor will
show what it is, or will, on the other
hand, show that tho parent is overnnx-
imiH if the condition does not really
exist.
Hut if tho I’liild does not develop rap
idly; if it is pale, underweight, delicate
and “takes cold easily;’’ if it lias a
tendency to drop its lower jaw, and to
sit with its mouth open; and more par
ticularly if it sleeps with nil upon mouth,
It iH time to siiHpect that there is troubla
in that child’s throat. Again, there may
bo' onlnrged and tender glands of tho
child’s neck, nnil if such glands nro left
without attention tlioy may become tu
berculous, thus endangering the health
and tho very life of tho child.
Diseased tonsils and ndonoid growths,
which almost always accompany such
tonsils, render any child having them
mill'll more liable tu take diseases such
ns measles, diphtheria, scarlet (over and
similar ills, all of which carry a men sure
of danger, and which it is much easier
and-safer to prevent than it is to cure,
In addition to these dangers, which are
caused by dlsunqod tonsils mid.adenoids,
serious trouble with the vital organs,
such ns the lungs nnil kidneys, limy filial
ly result if the tonsils and adenoids are
not. removed.
It is, therefore, the plain duty ofupvcry
parent to be on the lookout for such a
I'uiiilit Ion in their children, nnil, once It
is suspected, immediate stops should ibo
taken to hove it remedied. The opera
tion Is simple and very hooii forgotten,
while if it is not done the child's whole
future may bo onilniigored.
The causes of enlarged and diseased
tonsils are nut altogether understood, Luc
some doctors sny tile use of t-lio “paci
fier,” which keeps tho child's mouth
open after it PnUs asleep, dries the
throat and these conditions follow. Oth
er causes are said to bo breathing bud
air, especially at night; general weak
ness, caused by nml-nutritlon, or from
anything that lowers tho child's bodily
resistance.
Hat whatever tho cause, it is n fact
that in na examination made of tho
Hc.ltool children in the United Stntcs
somo 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 wore found
to linvc diseased or enlarged tonsils or
adciuAils, and one of this number may
rondily be one of your own.
Children of school ago who come in
contact with groups of other children
who may, in turn, linvo come in contact
with disenscs of a more or less contagi
ous nature, are particularly linblo to
tnko contagious diseases, and this liabil
ity iB greatly increased if there aro dis
eased or enlarged tonsils or adenoids
iresont. Of course, it is Impossible to
nsttro protection from any contagions
disease, no matter what precaution wo
take, but it is a fact tlmt when a child
has ills tonsils and adenoids removed lie
lias been protected ns far ns possible,
for there is no ono other measure that
is regarded ns more necessary in protec
ting and preserving the health of tile
child. Annie L. Trnber,
Red Cross Public Health Nurse.
A CURE FOR WORRY.
Everybody seems to he agreed it’s not
hard work that breaks men down—it’s
worry.
How, then, slinn the worry be elimi
nated?
I will tell you the greatest source of
worry: Unfinished jobs.
Tiie man who is on top of his job all
the time, who drives liis job instead of
letting his - job drive him, seldom has
anything to worry about.
Take tiie case of tiie man who gets to
tiie office nil hour late in the morning.
He is just about an hour behind all day
—worried every minute because ho is
late for Ids appointments.
Tiie extra effort necessary to get down
on time would rid him of the source of
moBt of his worries, But he won’t make
tho effort and so lie pays the penalty.
i know a man who iB making a failure
of everything lie undertakes beenuso lie
puts off,doing jobs unlil the pqtionco
of those who depend on him is exhaust
ed. At the last minute he sidetracks
everything else for a few days nml does
this one task in a very creditable way.
In the meantime, while lie is so busy
with this job, other tilings accumulate
and they, too, aro finished behind sched
ule.
Ho is rpnstantly worried; everybody is
on hin nock.
At intervals of about three months lie
lms a near-brenk-down and hies himself
off for n week’s vacation, letting every
thing go to pot.
He can't get any real rest while ho
is gone because lie is worried about tho
pile of unfinished work on Iub office
desk.
His brnin is always boiling, not with
constructive plans for increasing his bus
iness, but with the petty details of unfin
ished jobs.
Ho claims that lie is “overworked,’’
that liis customers are “unreasonable,”
that liis business is a “rotton” ono.
Yet if ho would organize himself and
Ids office to handle matters ns they conic
up, lie could, in two weeks’ time, clean
up liis desk. Once on top of liis job ho-
eould stay tiioro and liis worries would
ovnpornto like a five-ilollar bill in a meat
market.
Check up with your own experiences
nnd observations.
The best euro for worry is—work.
Because she smoked a pipe a Now
York woman was declared unfit to have
tiie custody of a little grundcliild. At
tlmt, though, wo liave known some mighty
good women who smoked pipes. One,
especially, wo recall, because we swiped
her pipe once when we wore about knee-
high to a duck nnd smoked it ourself.
And when, shortly thereafter, she found
ns with both foot in tho grave amt tho
determination to crawl al) tho way in
if wo had strength enough, she iliiln’t
scold or tell on us, but set about bring
ing uh round again. She was old and
wrinkled and wore dresses down to her
shoe-tops, and thought tiie word “shim
my” onglitn't to bo mentioned in polite
company, but outside of that she was all
right.—Johnny Spencer, in Macon Tel
egraph.
The following letter from n club girl
shows the true club spirit:
