Since March 1st, 1913, more legislation
vaiuuble to farmers has been passed by
the Nalionul Congress than in all the
balance of tho history of the country.
Senator Hoke Smith lias contributed us
much, or more, to this legislation than
any one else in Congress.
fie helped prepare the bill for exten
sion work from the Colleges of Agricul
ture, under ’which farm demonstrators
and teachers of domestic science are at
work in every county in every state in
the Union. He introduced the bill in
the Senate, and led the fight for its
passage, upon the floor. It is known as
the Smith-Lever bill.
The senior senator from Georgia intro
duced the resolution creating a board of
nine to study the problem of national aid
to vocational educati#n. He was a mem
ber of the commission and presided over
It.
He helped prepare the bill creating the
system of vocational education. He in
troduced the bill in the Senate, and con
ducted the fight for its passage upon
the floor. This bill provides for vo
cational training for farmers’ children,
as well as for the industries, and it also
carries a provision for additional work
in home economics. This bill is known
as the Smith-Hughes bill.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
Senator Hoke Smith and Congress
man Lever jointly worked out the
bill regulating the cotton exchanges of
the country. Senator Smith of South
Carolina introduced the first measure In
the Senate, and he and the senior senator
from Georgia secured Its passage through
the Senate. An entirely new measure
was substituted in the House, and this
measure, when it came back to the Sen
ate. was under the management of the
eonlor senator from Georgia. This meas
ure was known as the Smith-Lever Bill.
Senator Hoke Smith is responsible for
the act creating the Bureau of Markets
in the Agricultural Department in Wash--
ington. subsequently supplemented by
bureaus of markets in the different
states. Tlie bill was prepared by mem
bers of the Farmers' Union and twice
placed by Stator Hoke Smith on the
agricultural bill as an amendment. The
House rejected the first hill, but subse
quently authorized a study of the ques
tion by the Agricultural Department. And
the third effort of Senator Hoke Smith
to oass the measure was successful.

The work that lias been done by Sena
tor Iloko Smith during the past five years
to keep the markets open for the sale of
cotton hns been of immense service to
the southern farmers. He began his
fight in tho fall of 1914, and for five
years, in season and out of season, ho
wus the leader of the struggle to pre
serve and open markets for the sale
of cotton. This is too long a story
and involves too many distinct contests,
in the Senate and out of the Senate, ♦»

A serious illness such as Influenza
or other infectious disease always
leaves the body with low vitality, lack
of strenpth, and impoverished blood.
Gude’s Pepto-Manpran aids conval
escents to a quick recovery, for it
creates a generous sunply of rich* red
blood and restores the body to its
normal, healthly condition.
That’s why physicians recommend
Pepto-Mangan, for thev know that it
imparts to tho blood the material so
sorely needed by weak, run-down sys
tems.
Pale, sallow, thin, easily-exhausted
men and women find that Pepto-
Mangan builds them up wonderfully.
A new supply of rich, red blood is
created, wmch in turn imparts the
glow of health to the cheeks, increases
the appetite, the eyes sparkle, the en
tire system takes a new lease on life.
Pepto-Mangan is obtainable in
liquid or tablet form, whichever
proves most convenient. Both forms
possess identical medicinal qualities.
There is but one genuine Pepto-
Mangan and that is “Gude’s.” Ask
your druggist for “Gude’s” and look
for the name “Gude’s on the package.
If it is not there, it is not Pepto-Man.

and provided for th
hundred and fifty millions of”bonds ‘for
five million bales of cotion. The bill
provided that the cotton should be kept
off tlie niurket for two years. In tills
fight he was not successful.
As the result of a resolution Intro
duced by Senator Hoke Smith in tlie Sen
ate on October 22nd, 1914, tlie English
government, on October 26th, conceded
the right of American citizens to ship
their cotton unmolested to all points in
northern Europe, including Germany, and,
as a result of tills concession, o/er three
millions of bales were shipped In De
cember, January and February or the
following winter.
This raised the price of cotton from
below six to ten cents a pound, and from
that time forward the senior senator from
Georgia kept up the fight for cotton mar
kets until flnaly the Federal War Trades
Board took down all restrictions, and per
mitted cotton to go wherever a buyer
turpentine interests.
Senator Hoke Smith contribuled most
effectively to the preparation a.iri pass
age of the acts oreating the Federal Re
serve Banks, the Farm Loan Banks and
the good road laws.
When he entered the Senate, although
offered more showy committors, he In
sisted upon going upon the Committee
on Agriculture, as there he could render
greater service to the farming Interests
of his state.
Senator Smith is now a member of
the following committees: Committee on
Agriculture, Committee on Judiciary,
Committee on Education and Labor, and
Comniitete on Rules. He Is also a
member of the Democratic Steering Com
mittee of seven, who manage the Dem
ocratic policies in the Senate.

colleagues created an additional place

My Motto Is: “IfcBuy It To Sell,"
A committee of the Young Men’s
Christian Association has been investi
gating the results of efforts to instill
religion into soldiers between pictures
or other entertainments. To the for.
tieth international convention at De
troit the rep-art condemnd “vaudeville
religion,” which failed to command
the respect of the soldiers.
One criticism of the Y. M. C. A.
was that in its efforts to entertain
and comfort the soldier it went far
enough to minimize the purpose of its
organization, indicated by the third
word in its name. While entertain
ment and pleasure was not altogether
bad the Y. M. C. A. was supposed to
represent the religious interests of all
protestant churches in army camps.
Any slackening in this line of duty
was yielding to an insidious, and pos
sibly, an excusable sin under the cir
cumstances.
A man who is brided to come to re
ligious services by a vaudeville stunt
will hardly be a receptive hearer of
a short sermon delivered while the
antics of a stage expert linger in his
mind and his anticipation of some
other entertainer attracts his atten
tion.
