Says the Detroit Free Press: ‘““The
resources of the new State of Okla
homa are magnificent, It is one of
the most prosperous in the* Union,
and it has a larger population at the
time of its admission than had any
of its predecessors.” " :
Of course, boys will be boys, but
boys ought not be permitted to be
hoodlums and to go unwhipped, in
gists the Washington Star. Rowdyism
ought to be punished even when prac
ticed by such a privileged class as
young gentlemen away from home on
ample allowance.
Experts of the AgMcultural De
partment have figured out that rats,
squirrels and birds do $110,000,000
damage to crops every year. Now
if they will announce how much the
lazy . bug hinders the work of farm
hands the farmers can go ahead rais-
Ing crops with something like a defi
nite idea of ““where they are at.”
i Romance must retire before the
progress of the age. The municipal
government of Venice proposes to
adopt an extensive system of illumi
nating the canals with powerful in
candescent gas lamps. 1t is true that
the old mode as lighting gave very
.Inadequate mesults from a severely
practical point of view, but it pro
duced unrivaled light and shade
effects, the beauties of which have
ever been the joy of visitors. It is
therefore hardly surprising that
artists and other admirers of the
- A L e ggV i
lovely lagoon city are protesting
against what they call an act of phi
listinism. The hard, cold glare of
Incgndescent gas will, they say, rob
Venice of one of its greatest charms,
that mysterious twilight which pro
duces the proper atmosphere for mus
ing on the romance and past great
ness of the noble palaces of the erst
‘whfle rulers of the seas.
j In Chicago a man was fined SSO
and two women $25 each for slum
ming. Judge Newcomer said that
persons who had no intention of
doing good had no right to be on a
gso-called slumming tour. “You went
there,” he said, “to satisfy mere idle
curiosity; to become a disgrace to
Yourselves.” We do not know what
warrant there is in law for this sen
tence, admits the New York Witness,
but we do know that the morbid
curiosity which likes to see the
haunts of vice is altogether unwhole
some and discreditable. In Newark
an automobilist has been sent to jail,
instead of being fined, for running
over a person on the street. The
Judge told him that it was his busi
ness to look out for pedestrians, not
their busindss to look for him. If
this is not good law it should be. But
the Toledo judge, who after sentenc
ing a number of prisoners to the
workhouse sentenced himself also to
the workhouse, that he.might learn
by experienge the effect of his own
sentence-—he deserves the prize.
Practical telegraphy is not so en
tirely a product of modern science
as many may suppose. It is an an
cient tradition that Agamemnon tele
graphed the fall of Troy to Greece by
means of bonfires on the mountain
tops. Although there may be much
doubt as to whether this is not a
mere legend, lhsro can be no ques
tion that jn thé second century B.
C. there was a system of telegraph
ing in Ellflope byswhich messages
were sent froui Sne place to another
by means ‘of ‘fire, the words being
Bpelled out letter by letter. The let
ters of the alphabet were arranged
in five columns, so that jany letter
could be desigpaied bystating in what
column it was contained amd what
was its number in that column. To
convey this inforfiation to, a-distance
two men, each having five tordhes,
were stationed behind two barricades;
‘the first, by holding up the necessary.
number ‘pf torches, . indicated-: the
number of the column which con
tained the letter he was sending, and
the second similarly indicated the
Actual numerical place of the letter
<in that column. It is evident that by
"a series of stations messages of any

If Japan desires the civilized world
to believe her professions of good

Boston Post, she should keep the

In debate, woman has a wonderful

in parties purchasing the land for less

Cattle Show at State Fair,
Plans for a cattle show and auction
during the Georgia state fair, to be
held in Atlanta October 8 to 24, under
the auspices of the Georgia division
of the National Farmers' Union, are
being made by General Manager Frank
Weldon. g
On account of the strict cattle quar
antine existing between the northern
and southern cattle districts, it was
feared that it would be impossible for
the northern cattle to take part in the
display. This obsacle has been over
come, -however, by the statement of
Dr. yPayne of ‘the federal animal by.
rea, who has been making investiga
tions in the south in regard to bring
ing the northern cattle to'the fair..
~ According 4o the plans of Dr. Payne
the cattle frow the different sections
will be kept. separated. The northern
l" cattle will be unloaded some distance
from the fair grounds and will bs’
| brought into the park by way of Pied
‘mont avenue from the north. The
| southern cattle will come in either
over Fourteenth street or Piedmont
avenue from the south.
Separate stalls will be arranged in
the live stock building so that the ani
mals will not come in contact. The big
live stock show will be held in the
baseball park and the auction will take
place in front of the grand stand. The
exhibition will last from Oectober 13
and 23.
Elaborate plans are being made for

Farmers' Union to Finance Crop. -
It is announced that plans have
‘been arranged by which the Georgia
division of the National Farmers’ Un
! ion will finance the cotton crop of 1908
for farmers that are members of the
state division.
~ The decision of the union virtually
means that the farmers of the state
will at last be able to systematically
hold their crops for meyited prices in
stead of being compelled to sell them
to spceulators or others who may de
mand lower prices,
According to the plans of the union
that organization will accept and ware
house all of the cotton upon which far
mers need to borrow money until their
crop has been sold. Farmers, who are }
compelled to have money before the
crop is sold can warehouse their cot
ton with the union and the union will
lend the money on tne cotton.
When the farmer’s cotton is sold he
will repay the loan he secured from
the union. By this means the farmer
will be protected, so officials of the
union say, and will not be compelled
to suffer while holding his cotton in
dividually as heretofore. 3
1t is understood that the union ex
pects to raise $1,000,000 by which to
finance the year’s crop. ‘The plan is
said to have met with the heartiest
co-operation of the members of the
Georgia division.

Fruit Safe, So Far.
State Entomologist Worsham has re
turned to the state capitol after a tour
of the peach belt, and reports that
the fruit crop is uninjured and the
indications are that the yield this year
will be a good one. Professor Worsham
is taking special pains that no unde
sirable fruit trees or plants from in
fected districts are shipped into Geor
gia. There is hardly a week that
passes which does not find this de
partment seizing shipments which do
not come up to the requirements of the
law.
Professor Worsham states that it is
almost as much of a task to watch
for the shipment of cotton seed hulls
and cotton seed from the boll weevil
district across the Mississippi, as to
watech for the infested trees. The
fact that these seeds and . aulls are
oftentimes infected tends to make the
prices lower and some are shipped
into Georgia. .
Professor Worsham is a great be
liever in patronizing home productions
and home industries. He declares if
the Georgia farmer would sell his cot
ton seed to the oil mills of the state
and purchase from them the desired
cotton seed meal and hulls, the farmer
would increase his own wealth and
help build up the cotton seed oil in
dustry in Georgia.
