Moreover, it has long been an established custom of the hoard to make its donations in the form of general endowments. Very rarely bus the board given funds to war<i I he maintenance of any institu¬ tion. Doctor Matheson, in announcing the gift, stated that, the sum will go a long way toward solving the crisis Tech faced at the adjournment of the legislature, when its request for $125, 000 emergency appropriation was de¬ feated in the final hours of the ses¬ sion, after having unanimously pass si the house. On the pledge of the Rotary Club to help the institution, Doctor Mathe son obtained tbe largest and proba¬ bly I lie best faculty in the history of the school- a faculty made necessary by tiie remarkable growth of the school. Although the Rotary Club, it is understood, lias met with some success in securing (lie Tech fund, the forty thousand gift from the gen¬ eral education hoard comes as a god¬ send, Tech officials state, and will probably /enable Tech to maintain a high standard throughout the current year at least. A high tribute was paid by Doctor Matheson to Dr. Wallace Bullrick, the president id' the board, and wideiy known patron of the cause of educa¬ tion. "lie is recognized throughout ilie country as one of the great edu¬ cational administrators of today,” said Doctor Matheson. "Tech is glad to receive this mag¬ nificent gift.” Doctor Matheson said, first, because we need it sorely; and, second, because it is such inspiring recognition of Tech s standing and work from stub high sources." In giving the forty thousand dollars, the hoard made it understood that it is only for one year, by the following paragraph in its resolution: "Resolved, That the executive offi¬ cers of the general educational board be, and are hereby, authorized, with¬ in their discretion, to contribute to the Georgia School of Technology a sum not to exceed forty thousand dol¬ lars for the yei^r beginnig July, 1920, toward the amount lieedetl for in¬ crease in teachers' salaries within (lie period mentioned, it being expressly stipulated that this appropriation be made for one year only.” Trade Club To Have Big Dinner Atlanta,—The Atlanta Foreign Trade Club, recently launched to promote foreign trade interests of Atlanta and the southeastern section of the Unit¬ ed States, with particular attention to trade in Hie Pan-American coun¬ tries, the development of southeastern polls and the diversion of traffic of tit is general section for export pur¬ poses, will meet at the chamber of commerce.

HARDING’S FOREIGN POLICY “We Built In Nationality And Wo Do Not Propose To Surrender It,” Says President-Elect Brownsville, Texas.—Facing a bor¬ der crowd in which were many citi¬ zens of Mexico and several officials of the Mexican government, President¬ elect Harding proposed here a for¬ eign policy directed toward peace and firendship, but demanding always full protection of American nationality and of American citizens wherever they may go.

I believe an Amer¬ ica eminent on the seas, respected in every avenue of trade, will be safer at home and greater in influence throughout the world. I like to think of an America whose citizens are ever seeking the greater development and enlarged resources and widened influences of the republic, and I like to think of a government whicli pro¬ tects its citizens wherever they go on a lawful mission, anywhere under the shining sun.” Mr. Harding also suggested that the nation learn a lesson of prepared¬ ness from the experience of the re¬ cent world war, and spoke a word for waterway development. He praised the efforts of Texas citizens toward the development of adequate port fa¬ cilities at the mouth of the Rio Grande, declaring his vacation visit to Point Isabel tiail brouhgt a new realization of the economic possibili¬ ties of tiie state.

The seventh of the month was the Thirteenth Anniversary of the Chap¬ ter so the regular meeting on the ninth was observed as a Birthday Party, Mrs. Smith in a charming manner presided for the first time as Regent and in an efficient and capable man¬ ner disposed of the business to come before the Society. It was decided to donate $15.00 to the Thomas Library and also to of^er a prize in the Public School in American History, After the disposal of business Mrs. Sterling Slappey took charge. We were honored to have Mrs. S. B. Brown read an interesting and in¬ structive paper on Governor Treut¬ len— Mrs. Annie W. Harris. It was very appropriate that these two be¬ loved characters should be eulogized in the same paper. First because our chapter was named for that faithful and fearless Georgia patriot. Gover¬ nor Treutlen, and second because Mrs. Annie W. Harris, who was the inspiration and first Regent of our Chapter, was a lineal descendant of Governor Treutlent. This was followed by a paper, “Chapter Reminiscences,” by Miss Claudia Culpepper . Miss Culpepper for a number of years has been an interested and faithful member, so the Reminiscences she gave of the Society were interesting and benefi¬ cial to all front during the time when she was a co-worker with Mrs. Annie W. Harris, who gave so -many years of untiring love and devotion to the cause before her death, up to the present time when we have grown to he a band of thirty-three united, zealous, and loyal members. Mrs. Brown during a social hour served a refreshing iced salad and punch. We were delighted to have present the following guests: Mrs. Sim Dro Mrs . John H . Allen, Mrs. Ralph Bassett, and Mrs. J. D. Mar- lives near the Glades, Hall was killed when struck by an auto mobile driven by Perry Waddell Forsyth county, Gravett had stepped from behind a standing automobile just as Waddell came up, the car strik¬ ing him and breaking his neck and lioth legs.

Farmers were first encouraged to keep expense on la¬ bor accounts on the growing of a single crop. Standard record books were furnished for this purpose. The practice has been a great assistance in the planning of a subsequent year’s work and has resulted in the saving of expenses, the seriousness of which had not been realized when no accounts were kept. A number of farmers who strated keeping ac¬ counts have learned the advantage of having a deposit at the bank and have acquired habits of thrift. -o HOME AGAIN Mrs. A. J. Perryman, Jr., is home again. Some one remarked in her presence that the people of Marshall ville believed in having a good time, She replied that it was a delightful life but that they put the church and the school first. This commendation is merited, And it is true of Fort Valley and Montezuma. And this triad of towns are centers of culture and of wealth, But the church and the school are first. Now’ any man ought to know that “Christianity in Earnest” is the j open sesame of spiritual and materia! glory. Talbotton is aequitting herself most creditably now. And this is her star of hope. Be-dim its lustre and the flowering faith of her children will perish. Let it shine out and in cloudless glory and we shall enter a day of the Son of Man and rejoice in it and be glad. God pity a community that would crucify the Prince of Glory on a cris is. And it has come to pass that Tal botton will never swap a noble birth right to the devil for a mess of pot tage. T. G. Lang, in The Talbotton New Era. NOVEMBER 18, 1920.

HOG-CHOLERA LOSS REDUCED BY TEACHING USE OF SERUM Losses by hog cholera have been materially reduced in Bullock Coun¬ ty, Ala., as a result of the work of the county agent in training farmers in various centers throughout the county to use the swum and appara tus developed by the department. * Forty-nine cars of hogs, 3,928 head, have been marketed from the coun ty through cooperative work, with an estimated saving of $6,000. In Hous ton County the department’s repre- w sentative taught 18 men to vaccinate ® hogs. Six sets of instruments owned by the Dothan Rotary Club were supplied to the demonstrators and a serum-distributing point was estab lished in charge of a reliable veteri narian. More than 9,000 head of hogs were treated. In many cases it was found’that sickness, other than chole ra, was due to some incidental cause, such as bad peanut meal, and bal anced rations were advised, The county agent’s work resulted in 32 farmers establishing pastures to keep their hogs off the open range, the land thus pastured being freed of many noxious weeds by the rooting of ^ the animals, and prepared for fufure cultivation. Forty-four farmers in the county were interested in stump removing, and about 2,000 acres of land was cleared in this movement, About 5 tons of dynamite was bought for the purpose largely on the cooperative plan. N
