“Bob Is always talking about th«
delicious pies and cakes his mother
makes," Jean Winston confided to her
mother, at the same time giving an
admiring glance at the beautiful soli
taire which adorned her third finger.
“You see," she continued, “lie wants
me to know that I will have to be
quite proficient in the culinary art to
compete with her."
Mrs. Winston smiled at her daugh
ter’s jjaiflllclty. "Weil, Why don’t you
show him what you can do, Jean?"
she replied. “He doesn't know that
you have been taking a course In do
mestic science and are already quite
proficient. Why not surprise him?"
“That’s a perfectly splendid Idea,
mumsle,” Jean exclaimed. “Bob is
coming to dinner tonight and I’ll make
the most elaborate cuke imaginable;
It will surely rival anything which
Mrs. Rogers ever made."
So donning the largest apron avail
able, Jean set about her task. True
to her desire, the cake was Indeed an
elaborate affair, for every known In
gredient necessary to the making of a
perfect cake was used by Jean.
“There," she exclaimed, as she admir
ingly put the finishing touches to the
dainty pink and white frosting, “If
that doesn’t beat Bob’s mother’s cake*
than I’m greatly mistaken." She was
quite beside herself, for the cake was
a grand success and one of which any
girl might well he proud. She could
picture Bob munching a piece of the
toothsome dainty. "Won’t he be sur
prised and delighted," she thought. So
the cake was put away for safe keep
ing and Jean proceeded to busy her
self about the house.
The day passed very quickly and,
glancing at the clock, she realized that
she had Just about an hour in which
to dress for dinner. Donning her fa
vorite blue frock, she was about to
proceed down stairs wheu suddenly
she became aware of the fact that
something was missing. "Oh, my ring!
Where could I have put it?” she ex j
claimed. After a very careful search
of her favorite hiding places she failed
to find any train* of the lost treasure.
Soon she had the whole household
transformed Into a searching party,
but ill! without avail. The ring could
not lie found.
“Oil, wlint shall I do?" bemoaned
Jean. “1 can never tell Boh I have
lost It; he would think It so careless
of me. I'm sure I had It tills morn
ing," she continued. “But In my fool
ish pride and excitement over that
horrid cake I lost it. I Just hate the
old cake now!" ■ ■■*•*
All, of course, were in sympathy
with her; but when one lias lost her
treasured engagement ring It is hard
to be consoled.
» In due course of time Boh arrived,
and to all outward appearances Jean
was Immensely happy. “What If he

RIETIES TO BLIGHT
Atlanta, Oct. 6.—Governor Hugh
M. Dorsey today accepted appoint
ment as honorary presdent of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association for
Georgia, and issued the following
statement through C. W. McClure
state executive chairman:
“It was on the soil of this state
—in the historic little town of
Roswell—that his mother was
born. It was there, also, that she
wedded the man of her choice, on
the eve of the great Civil War
Bulloch Hall, the fine old Coloni
al mansion in which the Ex-Presi
dent’s mother spent her girlhood
days, is one of the few surviving
land-marks of the ante-bellum
period. ~ «w.4aukl,ut'
“Archibald Bulloch, an ancestor
of Mr. Roosevelt, was President
of the Executive Council when
Georgia became a commonwealth
in 1776. It was likewise his rare
privilege, first immediately fol
lowing its reception in Savvannah.
Much of the sturdy Americanism
which characterized the public life
of Mr. Roosevelt was an inheri
tance from this pioneer patriot,
patriot. It also explains, in a de
gree, the strong grip which Mr.
\ Roosevelt held upon the popular
imagination of Georgians, and the
warm place which Georgia always
occupied n his affections.
“Irrespective of political differ
ences, the people of Georgia feel
a great pride in the career and
character of Theodore Roosevelt,,
the eminent American."
Georgia’s quota of the $5,000,000
memorial fund is $50,000. Subscrip
tions are already coming in. The
campaign proper begins October 20,
ending October 27, Roosevelt’s birth
day, when memorial meetings will be
held in every community in the United
States and in countries with which it
was allied in the war.

were thinking of planting more com,

instead of planting all cotton, for if
the weevil gets much worse next year
than they are now we will need to
raise our supplies, for we will not
have much cotton to buy supplies with.

In 1912 an experiment was begun by
the Horticulturist of the Georgia Ex
periment Station to determine the re
lative resistance of varieties of pears
to Fire Blight.
Included in this test are varieties
such as the Bantlet, which is known
to be very susceptible, and all degrees
up to the supposedly very resistant
Kieffer. The trees were set in an
acre block, and given the same cultu
ral treatment during the past seven
years.
In September, 1919, after seven
years of exposure to blight, this block
of pear trees presented the following
appearance:
Six trees of Be de Anjou killed by
blight; three blighted and two healthy.
Four Kieffer trees killed and the
other six trees more or less blighted
All of the Garber trees free from
blight.
Two Le Conte seedlings healthly.
Two Le Contt treek dead and one
blighted.
Two LeFrance trees hehlthy and one
blighted.
Five Japan Golden Russet trees
blighted and one dead.
Five Tyson trees healthy and one
dead.
One Lincoln pear dead.
Five Seckel pears healthy and one
dead.
Foiir Flemish Beauty trees dead and
two healthy.
Five Vermont Beuaty trees dead.
Five Koonce pears healthy and one
blighted.
Two HoweU trees killed by blight.
One Wilder ear dead and four
blighted.
One Lawrence* tree healthy and two
blighted.
Two Rosney pears healthy and two
blighted.
Three Shelden trees healthy and two
blighted.
Five Beurre. Dief trees healthy and
one dead.
One Bartlett ear healthy and four
blighted.
tirely free from blight.
A carefulu survey of the above data
will disclose that certain varieties are
very susceptible to blight under Geor
gia conditions, and’ among these the
Kieffer. Other varieties, as the Gar
ber, Tyson, Seckel 1 and Koonce are
highly resistant to blight^ while the
Japanese Sand pear is practically im
mune Co blight.
For years the Kieffer pear has been
been recommended' as the variety best
adapted to the southern states where
blight is serious, but this experiment
to date has proen Chat the Kieffer is
far from being the best variety. The
Garber, Tyson, Koonce and Seckel are
all more resistant to blight than the
Kieffer.
The Japanese Sand near, which is
practically immune to blight, resein-
■bies the Kief tier in size and shape, but
is of better (ualitv.
This experiment is being continued
by the Horticultural Department and
the data will eventually be published
in bulletin form by the Georgia Ex
periment Station. *

Pershing Wants Pledges Paid
So Welfare Work Will Go On
With Army “To the End.’*
Washington* D. C.—Raymond B. Fosdiclj, chairman of the Com
mission on Training Camp Activities, las made public a letter which
he has received from General John J. Pershing, showing the vital
importance of continuing the welfare nrork with the army until the
end. Those who have not paid their United War Work Campaign
subscriptions wllj come in for much crUcism if they do not do so dur
ing “Speed-Up" Week, July 28th to August 4th.
Cleveland H. Dodge, national treaiurer of the United War Work
agencies, stated on July 15th that he hsd only enough funds on hand to
run the seven organizations until August 1st. Therefore, unless every
outstanding subscription is paid durieg “Speed-Up" Week, it will be
necessary doubtless to cut down the vork of the agencies which now
means so much to our soldiers still in uniform.

Office of the Commander-In-Chief
France, May S, 1919.
Mr. Raymond B. Fosdick, Chairman, Commission on Training
Camp Activities, War Department, Washington, D. C.
My Dear Mr. Fosdick:
On the welfare societies that joined in the united campaign for
funds at home in the fall of 1918, all, with the exception of the War
Camp Community Service* are continuing their helpful work with
the American Expeditionary Forces.
This work is of the utmost value to the troops and is thorough
ly appreciated by officers and men. It gives me a great deal of
pleasure to testify at this time to the value of their services. I
sincerely hope that the amounts so generously subscribed during
the last campaign for funds will be paid in so that the work of
these societies with the Army in France may be continued to the
end.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN J. PERSHING.
