PUTTING IDLERS TO WORK
There are man* campaigns taking place throughout this
country at this particular time for the purpose of bringing
about a means of protecting and furthering the interest of
the public and the chain of obstacles coming before us is
made up of many links, sc to speak.
Hen the gh it is gratifying indeed to note that the ma
jority of the people ot this country at this time are adher
ing to the wishes ot the Government, we iind that sooner
or later we are going to oe ft reed to resort to measures,
more stringent than we have jet set up to practice.
The main trouble now confronting us in that of ^lle-
neis amongst certain clashes oi p-.'opie wao have no a.ubi-
•tion other than that cf making their way through lite with
out permitting themselves to enter the ranks of the pro
ducing elements. We find men of this type complaining
of inconveniences, hardships and other diificultie3, though
it is no uncommon matter for tnem to jump a dent cr any
other obligation they are allowed to hold.
There never was a time when the demand for labor was
as great as it is at this particular t.nie and for this same
reason men have never before been aoie to draw d~wn pay
for their such as is being otfeied them now. There is a
demand for help in every iuuus’.ry in this country, men
are needed on the farms, foremost of all, they are needed
in manufacturing plants and oiher enterprises and nowhere
do we find employers who ate tailing tc go the limit to
get labor.
Yet, on top of such existing conditions as we mention,
we find that In manji instances inquiries will resGit in the
obtaining of statements that wouid bung disgust to any
loyal and ambitious citizen, it i.-> i.o nurd iask, by auy
n eans, tc find men of a certain type who will tell you that
they are not employed, but we are uo»ng to find it no easy
undertaking when we make an addon to induce them to ac
cept a jcb where labor is required.
It has^.been less than a week since we have seen and
talked with meh in Miliedgevii.e vyho declared that it was
noLthair intention ot uoiug any amount of certain !ab:r
unless they were given just such tood and other accommo
dations as they desired. When we refer to a certain labor,
in this instance, we would by no means term s.ch jobs as
being in a class with the m st difficult.
Going further into the matter of our conversation with
“the jobless” men, it _an be i.aucistoo«i tnat we\t.d net
THE UNWORKED MINE.
By Dr. Frank Crane, in The Atlanta Journal.
The Unworked Mine is yourself. •
You have hidden in you unknown treasures.
On the surface you may look barren; nothing but sand
and recks. Others passing by may think you uninterest
ing. You may think so yourself.
You say, “I am commonplace. I am good for nothing. 1
have no character, no force, I can do nothing excellently,
l see this genius piay the violin, and that one sing and
another build, and an (her amass money or speak eloquent
ly, but my hands are trifling. I am next to impotence.
“A is beautiful, B is strong, C is learned, and D Is fa
mous. But I—I am nothing.
Well, many hud gone over the ground and despised it,
until one day Stratton dug there and iound one of thft’
most amazing gold mines in the world!
Dig!
How dc you know what’s in you vntil you dig and see?
In you is power. It may lie deep. You have never
touched its vein. It will stay there unsuspected and use
less until you die, if you don't dig for it.
In you is beauty. Every soul is beautiful—somewhere.
Down there within you is loveliness, charm, a wonderful,
divine order and symmetry. It is worth searching for.
Dig!
In you is wisdom. There is no real wisdom outside of
you, none that will do you any good. It is within you. You
can find it in the long hours ot silence when you seek
among the caverns cf your soul. You can find it, gems of
it, like diamonds, lying in the ledges, if you use diligently
the shovel of mediation.
In you is goodness. The granite rocks that underlie ev
ery soul are g-od. Go after what is in you. There is peace
and contentment and righteousness and loyalty and love,
they are all within you. Dig!
And there is God. There is Heaven itself. Did not the
Wise One say, "You shall not say, Lo, here! nor, Lo, there!
lor the Kingdom of Heaven is within you”?
How can 1 c me at it? Dig! Seek, and ye shall find-.
No books, no teachers, no events can give you what you
.'an:, unless you work your own mine.
The answer to the starry sky is infinite within you.
Dig!
You will fmii within you riches and force and passion and

the lungs?

•MIT TH- POOL PPLAYERS TO WORK.
Hon. Hal M. Stanley, State Commissioner of Commerce
and Labor, is advocating the closing of all pool rooms dur
ing the duration of the w r ar, which suggestion, after care

thoughtful citizen who is not addicted to pooLroom loafing
Despite the scarcity of labor hundreds of loafers assem-

of the facts we obtained through our interview as refer

Four men, all hearty and strong and in the prime of life,
60 far as health and age are concerned, made up ttie com-1
plaintants who stated they were absolutely withe , t funds
and needed positions, though the;i made it plain that they
were not looking for jobs that called for ordinary labor.
Too, these men were free to make it clear that they were
not qualified t; hold a position where efficiency in any
particular degree was required and they stated that it
would be necessary for their prospective employer to call
over the classes of jobs to be offered before they would
make acceptance of a place. These men were not of the
type such as the world is seeking tc employ and conse
quently they did- not hesitate to a ake It clear that they
were open to receive charitable donations, even though in-
du.'ries everywhere ure crying for help and this Govern
ment under which we live is facing a crisis such as wfe!^
have never faced before, all on account of the lack of men
to help carry on cur industries.

seeking an opportunity to shirk their duty. The quicker
all loafers' are picked up and put in the fields and given
the understanding that their tactics will no longer be tol

of the tmrden thrust upon them by a typo of humanity do
ing nothing for themselves nor their community.

of labor on the farm if properly applied.

SOY BEANS AND PROSPERITY.
ATter having grown soy beans for live years, 1 have three
reasons, any one of which would Justily giving tiiis legume
a prominent place on Southern far.i s.
First, by actual measure,:.ent v c harvest m re corn
from one-third of the farm now than we did before on one-
lialf. as we now follow soy l eans with corn, where we used
to simply alternate corn and peanuts. The reason for this
is that the soy bean plant -oes buck t the land in ihi*
form of humus alter the bean is eaten by hogs. Being m
legume, it also enriches the soil. After putting the soy
bean in our crop system, making a three jpar rotation,
the texture of the soil has already become much finer, so
that it is not so much tr utile to make a good seed bed as
formerly.
Second, as a hay crop we can get as many tons of nice
hay per acre from it as anything else we can grow. It is
a good feed for growing colts and calves, and is the next
thing to alfalfa for milk cows. We can make goed c«t>ps
of beans on soils that are too poor ’o grow clover and al
falfa Tlie time lor mowing beans for hay is generally dry,
thus making it eas.v*to cure and save.
Third, as grazing fc r pigs we find it excellent, tbs tft
makes from three to five times as much fepd per acre as
cowpeas, and is ready to be grazed earlier than peanuts.
If pigs are put in 'early enough, they will eat lots of the
green leaves. We would hardly know how to farm now
without the soy bean.—W.‘ Burnley Raiford, in The Pro
gressive Farmer.
