A BEDTIME STORY
| BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Danny Meadow Mouse Is Up in the
Air
With what you have pray be content,
Nor wish for things for you not
meant.
•—Danny Meadow Mouse.
Danny Meadow Mouse crouched in
the farthest corner of a little cup
board in the great man-bird, which,
as you and I know, -was an airplane.
His ears were filled with a terrible
noise, a noise more terrible than any
he had ever heard in all his life. It
was worse than the worst thunder
he had ever heard, because there
was no end to it. So Danny crouch
ed in the corner of that little cup
board and was sure that the Great
World was coming to an end.
But nothing happened and after
a while Danny began to get used to
that terrible noise. “Noise can’t hurt
me,” he decided at last. “Noise can’t
hurt me. I’ll peep out and see if that
man is in my way. If he isn’t I’ll get
out of here and back home as fast
as my legs can take me.”
So Danny peeped out around the
edge of the little door, which was
part way open. He looked all about
him hurriedly. The man was close
to him, but his back was to him and
he seemed very busy about some
thing. He didn’t look back at all.
Danny ventured out a few steps and
then his courage failed him and he
darted back. He did it again. He did
it a third time. Each time he felt a
little braver. The fourth time he
scampered across and climbed up the
opposite side. He intended to jump
down to the ground as soon as he
reached the top.
Danny reached the top and poked
his head over to look down so as to
eee where to jump. Then he fell
right back and landed with a little
thump on his back. There were two
reasons for this. One was that when
he had looked down, instead of find
ing the ground within jumping dis
tance just beneath him, he had dis
covered that it was so far below him
that he wouldn’t have known it was
ground at all. The second reason was
that when he had poked his head
over the edge a terrible wind had
struck him and actually had blown
him back.

that ever lived Danny Meadow
FARM EDUCATION
Preparing Bermuda Sod for
Winter Grains
J. H. H. Newborn, G.,
writes: What preparation is
necessary for Bermuda sod or
weed land to make a good crop
of wheat and oats?
We do not believe you will find
it very practicable to plant cereals
on Bermuda sod without first turn
ing the land. We suggest that this
be done as soon as possible. We also
advise the rolling and harrowing of
the land immdeiately thereafter.
This is to compact the soil, provide
*a firm seedbed, and insure the mov
ing of the water from the lower
areas of the land to the surface of
the soil. The land should be broken
to a good depth so as to bury the
Bermuda roots as deeply as possible.
The cereal crops will attain a good
growth during the fall, winter, and
. early spring before the Bermuda re-
* seeds itself. Naturally, the shade
produced by these crops will help
to hold the growth and development
of the Bermuda in check.
Land covered with weeds, which' is
intended to be devoted to cereals,
should be handled just the same as
that covered with Bermuda sod. The
planting of wheat and oats should
be done as soon as possible. Seed
a bushel and a half of each of these
crops. On thin, poor land, it is
sometimes advisable to use two bush
els.
Three hundred pounds of acid
phosphate and 100 pounds of kainit
should be used, it may be advisa
ble to top-dress this crop with nitrate
of soda, next spring. This work
should be done in February or early
'March. Nitrate of soda can often be
used as a top-dressing with great ad-
• vantage.
Growing Sesame Under Georgia
Conditions
F. W. 8., Atlanta, Ga.,
writes: “Has sesame seed ever
been grown in Georgia? I un
derstand that a considerable
quantity of imported seed is be
ing crushed in Savannah and
the oil is being made into lard
compounds. Do you think this
crop is a practical one for the
cotton sections?”
Sesame, as I understand, is grown
on a minor basis in various places
throughout the state. I think most
of the crop is grown in south Geor
gia. It is my understanding that
it is used primarily for chicken feed,
and certainly it is used for home
purposes. lam not advised that the
commercial production of this crop
’ has ever been undertaken in the
state. Probably the climate and
soil of south Georgia might suit it
quite well. Not enough has been
done along this line to enable one
to draw a very definite conclusion
relative to the merits of sesame for
I commercial cultivation in the coastal
plains area.
* It is rather difficult to see how
this crop would have any advantage
over many others we are now grow
ing. I do not think it could be
expected to compete advantageously
with cottonseed as an oil or feed
producing crop, and certainly 'we
are going to hold to the production
of cotton on as extensive a basis
as enconomic conditions will war
rant. Then, of course, we can grow
peanuts in Georgia. It is a. crop al
ready well established. In many
sections of the state, soy beans can
be grown successfully. Both pea
nuts and soy beans yield a very
superior grade of oil and a very
fine by-product for feeding to live
stock. Their general and wide
adaptability for cultivation in our
state gives them a great advantage
over any other crop. Under the cir
cumstances portrayed, we are in
clined to think our people would get
1 along much faster and secure larger
profits by adhering to the cultiva
tion of the crops we have mentioned
above.

Mouse was the most frightened as
he scrambled back into that tiny
cupboard. For a while he was too
frightened even to think. But at last
when he able to think he knew
what had happened. He had been
carried away by that great man-bird!
He was up in the air! Yes. sir, he
was way, way, way. way up in the

had seen Ol’ Mistah Buzzard. The
mere idea of such a thing made
Danny shake all over with new
fright. i
“Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Whatever
shall I do?” he sobbed. “Whatever
shall I do? I don’t like flying! 1
don’t want to fly!”
Then Danny remembered how
sometimes he had envied the birds
because they could fly. He didn’t
envy them any more. He wanted to
be on the ground, the dear, safe,
beautiful ground. Yes. sir, he want

buried himself in the middle of it.

better than this one? Do you
think sunflowers can be prof
itably grown in this section?
Sunflowers are not being raised
on a commercial scale in Georgia as
yet except in a few sporadic in
stances. There is apparently a ten
dency to increase the cultivation of
this crop, however, on the part of
small farmers. No doubt, they are
using some of the grain thus ’ob
tained as an adjunct in the feeding
of their poultry. It is a very fine
grain for this purpose, and there is
no reason why we should not pro
duce an abundance of sunflower
seed in our state. Rations for chick
ens vary a good deal according to
breed and individual taste. There
are several matters to consider in
the feeding of chickens. Among
these is the one of supplying them
with an abundance of green feed at
all seasons of the year. This is nec
essary for health and for the main
tenance of hig egg production. Food,
of course, should have a reasonable
amount of bulk to it, and it should
be of a character which is easily
mixed and stored; and then it should
be correctly fed. Grit, charcoal and
salt must all be provided in abun
dance.
There are three kinds of feed
which should be supplied to chick
ens: The wet mash, the hopper feed
ing of dry mash, and the scratch
feeding of cracked grain. The wet
mash is probably only useful in cold
weather for laying birds in so far
as this section of the country, is
concerned. The hopper feeding and
dry mash method has proven very
satisfactory. Scratch feed should be
provided in order that the hens may
be induced to take plenty of ex
ercise. A good scratch feed may be
made up of oats, corn, wheat and
sunflower seed. In some places,
buckwheat is used; in other places,
a little cotton seed meal or some
other concentrate rich in protein is
supplied. A dry mash feed or hop
per feed may be prepared as fol
lows: 1 bushel of corn meal. 1
bushel of wheat middlings, 1-2
bushel of wheat bran. 10 pounds of
alfalfa meal, 10 pounds of oil meal,
peanut meal or cotton seed meal, 50
pounds of scrap meat and one pound
of salt.
A Need of the Laredo Soy Bean
J. S. 0., Atlanta. Ga., writes:
’Please tell me in what way the
Laredo soy bean is better than
the Mammoth Yellow, Biloxi and
O-Too-Tan, as to soil improve
ment, for hay and quantity of
hay produced.
The Laredo soy bean is a fine
stemmed variety. It is a fairly up
right grower. The seed are very
small, and it takes several hundred
thousand of them to make a bushel.
Hence, only a small amount of seed
is required to plant an acre. This
crop can be grown in association
with corn to advantage. It may also
be seeded by itself. On account of
the fineness of the stems, it may be
readily cured as- hay, and it is eaten
up more readily than the large or
coarse - stemmed Mammoth Yellow
strain. It matures in a reasonably
short time. It is also fine-leaved and
well-covered with foliage. It makes
a dense shade and an abundance of
rich, nutritive fodder. It is prolific
as to grain yield, making larger re
turns per acre than any other strain
we have cultivated up to the present
time. We believe we are right in re
garding it as one ’of the very best
varieties of soy beans for general
cultivation in Georgia.
The Southern Prolific is a close
rival, and a very good strain also.
The O-Too-Tan is a fine strain of soy
beans to use for soil improvement.
It does not yield quite so much grain
as the Laredo, but makes a fine
quality of hay and a large yield as
well. It requires a long season in
which to mature, but is well adapted
for turning under for soil improve
ment. The early planting of this va
riety would be necessary in north
Georgia in order to have it mature
before frost.

Dear Children:
This issue we will have something
about Indian villages and houses,
beginning with a quotation from
Longfellow:
“ ‘Very spacious was the wigwam,
Made of deer-skins dressed and
whitened.
With the Gods of the Dacotahs
Drawn and painted on its cur
tains.’
“Generally each tribe of Indians
lived in a single yillage; sometimes,
however, clusters of small tribes,
which had originally been indepen
dent but through conquest, plague,
friendly removal or union had lost
their individuality, lived together un
der the name of the leading group.
The majority of Indian villages con
sisted of groups of small houses,
with each family having a house of
its own; sometimes, however, a vil
lage had just a few houses, but with
as many as a hundred families liv
ing in each' house. The only other
buildings in the village were the
house where the men slept, the
swea<house, the council chamber,
and the sacred medicine lodge.
“Although we generally think of
Indians living in wigwams, this was
not always the case—the Algonquin
was name for low, oval houses cov
ered with bark or brush—they had
four distinct types of houses, those
of stone, those of mud (adobe), those
of wood, those of skins. Among the
Indians living in stone dwellings
were the Peublos, who cut great
holes in the side of rock cliffs. Each
family occupied a hole or room, and
reached it by means of a pathway
or stairs cut in the rock. Some In
dians of the northwest had stone
houses; that is, the walls were stone,
the roofs ■were generally of whale
bone covered with bearskin.
“The tepee, used by the Araphao,
Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Crow and
other plains tribes, is the most
typical Indian shelter. It* consists
of long slim poles placed to form
a cone with their tops coming to
gether; sometimes the poles were
covered with bark or mats, but more
often with the skins of wild ani
mals. No Indian houses had floors
save the bare earth, neither had
they chimneys nor windows. Practi
cally all the dwellings were deco
rated with carvings, drawings, or
paintings of crescent moon, thun
der-birds, snakes or whatever ani
mals were symbols of the tribes. The
medicine lodge had two poles in
front —the poles were cut and paint
ed with symbolic pictures, and top
ped with an effigy, much like a
scarecrow, as an offering to the
spirits.”
Next week we will talk about the
Indian furniture and household
utensils. I know this will interest
the girls.
Lovingly.

Hello, auntie and cousins! May I join
your happy band of boys and girls? I have
been a reader of The Journal for a long
time, and 1 surely enjoy reading the Letter
Box. I haven’t seen any letters in the
Council from Patrick, so I will try my luck
and write one. I live on a farm, and 1
must say that I love farm life, because we
can do so many things that we like to do,
and have lots of good things that we like
to eat, and have plenty of room. How many
of you cousins like pets? I have a little
pet rabbit. 1 have a lot of fun playing
with it. Boys and girls, how many of you
like good music? I think that almost every
body likes good music. 1 surely enjoy good
mnsic. My favorite song is "Hawaiian .Sun
shine.” I am sixteen years old. Who lias
my birthday. May a? I live about three
miles from the church, and. believe me, we
have a nice Sunday school every Sunday.
We have a large crowd of boys and girls
every Sunday in the Sunday’ school class.
Now, auntie, print this for me, for you
know that I want to be one in your happy
band. 1 won't tell you all how I look this
time. This is my first time to write, so 1
don't want to trouble auntie with such a
long letter. All you good-looking farmer
boys and girls write to a farm girl and send
me your picture.

Dear Aunt Julia: Please open the door
for a new cousin. I have been reading the
nice letters in The Journal and thought 1
would try to he one of them. I do like to
read the letters. I think some of them are
so good. Come On, Vernon Lee, or Gold
Dust Twin. I like you. You are about my
own age. My age is twelve. I live on a
farm, and never lived anywhere else, t go
to school and am in the fourth grade. I
want to make my grade this year if I can.
Will some of the cousins send tne a Christ
mas card? Wishing you all happiness,

Saluda, S. C., R. F, D. 6, Box 41.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am not
going to sit still any longer and just read
the many letters that appear in the Letter
Box. I’ve been thinking very seriously of
writing for many years, but my imagination
would always picture an empty wastebasket
near by begging for a letter just like mine.
I, like most of you cousins, live on a farm.
1 like country life best of all. What do
you do for pastime? I read and make tat
ting. 1 am a regular tatting machine. I
like to do all kinds of fancy work. 1 also
help with housework. Will make my eall
short this time, and hope there will be room
for me, as I am anxious to be one of you.
All of you boys and girls write me. Am not
going to give a description of myself, as
iny letter is long. Let your letters come,
cousins, and I will be sure to answer all
I can. With best wishes to all,
(MISS) JIMMIE MARTIN.

Dear Aunt and Cousins: Here comes an
other old Georgia girl. My brother has been
taking The Journal for some time, and I
enjoy reading the letters from all the girls
and boys from the different states. 1 am
an orphan girl.- My father died when I
was about two years of age. and now i am
fifteen. I, like most of you cousins, live
on a farm. I see some of the cousins speak
about using paint and powder. Well, I
don't think a little powder would hurt, for
some girls have a few freckles and they
look bad if they don't have some powder;
but I don’t like the paint. Well. I must be
going, for Aunt Julia will not like for me
to stay very long, but 1 want to say once
more before 1 go, How many of you folks
belong to the church? I have joined the
Methodist church. I think it is wonderful
for young folks to join the church and go
to Sunday school. Please print this, as I
want to surprise mother and brother. Your
new cousin,
(MISS) SALLIE WOOD.
Stockton, Ga., R. F. D. A, Box 42.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder if
you will let a little Mississippi girl join
your happy band of boys nnd girls. If I
were to take a subject it would he on
"Friends.” A true friend is worth more to
anyone than silver and gold. It is a great
pleasure to know you have a friend to
whom you <an go to with your troubles and
find comfort. "A friend in need is a
friend indeed.” Guess you all will agree
with me there, won’t you?
Well. I guess you are wondering how I
look. I have brown hair and blue eyes. I
wonder who has my birthday, December 17?
I will be eighteen years old. Suppose yon
all give me a letter and card shower that
day? J will ask a favor and then go: Will
some of you cousins please send me the
songs, "The Lips That Touch Lipitor Shall
Never Touch Mine,” “Oh, Do They Ever
Pray for Me at Home?” “Meet Me in the
Moonlight Alone,” “Careless Love,” "When
You Are Gone I Won’t Forget,” and
"Broken Vows?” Will return the favor in
any way I can. Guess most of you are
going to school. I am not. I finished high
school last winter (1922). I have my
diploma. Your new cousin.

Dear Folks: Our neighborly sug
gestion comes through a friend who.
on signing her name to me, asked
that I call her “Cedartown” if I used
her letter, for while she loved to re
ceive letters, she was too busy to
answer. She writes that she wishes
she could have time to write us some
of her “step and time savers,” but
she hasn’t. However, a few lines
that follow will, I believe, be helpful
to many of us.
“I never have any 'spring yard
cleaning,’ because there is not any
thing to clean up. I- clean my yard
every day. If I sweep up a pile of
leaves I just take them up and throw
them in the garden (they are fine fer
tilizer). I keep all tin cans in a box,
ready to be sent off once a week, and
I do not mind anyone seeing my back
yards, for they are as clean as the
front yard any time. I never throw
away rags of any kind. The nice old
clean white or light rags we need
many times. I tie them in bundles
and save. The clean dark rags I
save and they are handy many times
for such work as cleaning the oil
stoves and other stoves. When soiled
I burn these.”
There’s food for thought in her let
ter. Why dangerous bonfires when
you can use the fallen leaves for fer
tilizer? And good rags made into neat
bundles, clutter up no place and give
good service in the ways she has
mentioned.
Come along, friends, with more
suggestions.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.

husband can't jolly his wife into
doing.
All that a husband has to do to
make his wife eat out of his hand
is just to tell her how Ynuch he
loves her, and admires her, and ap
preciates everything she does for
him, and how happy it would make
him if she would do a certain thing,
or how doing some other thing is a
blemish on her otherwise perfect
character, or looks. She will gulp it
all down, and be so obedient to his
wishes that she will outdo Patient
Griselda herself.
But to order a woman to do any
thing! To tell her where she gets
on and where she gets off! To come
right out flat-footed and assert his
marital authority! To forbid her to
do this, and to do that! And es
pecially for a mere husband to dic
tate to a. woman about her clothes,
briefly what I have in my collection (little
as yet): From Mexico have a. drawn-work
handkerchief and a one-dollar bill: from
Canada have the cutest little silver maple
leaf brooch, also a 1-cent and a 5-ceut
piece; also have postage /tamps from Eng
land, Scotland, Germany, South America
(Argentina) aud Canada. While these
stamps aren't very, good souvenirs, they are
at least something from those countries.
From Indiana (the state I was born in) I
have a birch bark canoe, from Tippecanoe
Jake; from Tennessee I have a double-edged
dagger, said to have been made from a
sword found in a hidden cave; from Vir
ginia I have "galax” leaves that grew on
the Blue Ridge mountains; from South Caro
lina I have a mussle shell (that Is so
"pearly” inside), also a smaller shell. As
souvenirs of this state I have Indian arrows,
shells from the Gulf of Mexico, leaf from
"money vine” on old tower at St. Augustine
(oldest city in the United also a
small knife and fork whittled from" some
kind of yellow wood. I am going Io trade
souvenirs ivith a girl in Alabama, hut don't
know what I will get. I would like to ex
change souvenirs with those living in state*
that I have no‘souvenirs with those that I
have no souvenirs from. I wonder how
many have "poem scrapbooks.” 1 have
and certainly enjoy it.
How hiany of you ever tried making neck
laces of "four o’clock” seeds? Pick ail 1 ?
string immediately, and let dry well,, thee
apply shellac with a cloth, and again let
dry. Now they are ready for the final
stringing. For mine I used nine little green
beads, one seed, nine beads, three seed
nine beads, etc., until the string was of de
sired length. I finished with a kind oi
tassel. Other seeds can also be used in sim
liar manner. 1 must dose, or auntie wi>
never admit me again. To those who didu

TOO MUCH URIC ACID?
LET US SEXD YOU THE WILLIAMS TREATMENT
FREE 85 CENT BOTTLE (32 DOSES)
Just because you start the day
"too tired to get up,” arms and legs
stiff, muscles sore; with burning,
aching back and dull head—Worn
OUT before the day begins—do not
think you have to stay in such con
dition.
Rheumatism, kidney and bladder
troubles, and all ailments caused by
excessive acidity make one miserable.
Be strong and well. Get rid of
the "rheumatic” pains, stiff joints,
sore muscles, "acid” stomach, Kidney
or Bladder troubles so often caused
by body-made acids.
If you have been ailing for a long
time, taking all sorts of medicines
without benefit, let The Williams
Treatment prove to you what great
relief it gives in the most stubborn

and her makeup! To treat her as if
she were an idiot child! Oh, la, la.!
How does any man ever get that
way? And where’s the fool-killer,
that he doesn’t get the poor simp?
Any woman in the world with a
spark of spirit in her would rebel
against such treatment. Any wo
man with a grain of pep in her sys
tem would put on another daub of
paint and a fresh coat of calcimine
and pluck a few more hairs out of
eyebrows, just to prove that she
could do as she darned pleased it
she was forbidden by her husband
to help nature out a little in the
matter o’ looks. Any woman who
has the backbone of a fishing worm
would haunt the movies, if her hus
band arbitrarily told her that she
shouldn’t go, just to show him that
the days when a wife was a slave and
had to have her master’s permission
to go off the place are ended, and
that this is 1923 instead of 1723.
No, my friend, there is no way to
make your wife mind you unless
she wants to. If she isn’t willing
to do your way because she wants
to please you, ana thinks your way
is a good way, there’s no help for
you, The wife who can be made to
obey is just as extinct as the dodo.
But why do you want your wife
to obey you? I know that a lot ot
husbands suffer from this “wife
obedience” complex, but, believe me,
it is a mental affliction of which they
should try to cure themselves.
For, stripped to the bone, it Is
nothing but a mean and ignoble de
desire to tyranize over the one hu
man being that is in a man’s power.
To rule her with a rod of iron. To
force his opinions ana desires on
her, ana to make her do what he
wants instead of granting her the
right to life, liberty and the- pursuit
of -happiness, in her own way.
A man can’t excuse himself for
trying to dominate his wife by say
ing that he is wiser than she is, and
a better judge of what is proper, for,
as a general thing, a man’s wife
has just as much sense as he has
about things in particular, and a
thousand times more sense about
women things. The only husband,
for instance, who has got a right to
chirp about his wife’s clothes is a
man dressmaker. What is a banker,
or a manufacturer, or a greengrocer
that he should set himself up as an
authority on hats, and tell his wifs
that she may or may not wc..f- such
a shape headgear?
And, aside from the folly of fl
man’s trying to make his wife obey
him, there is the crime of the thing,
because it kills so much happiness
unnessarily. Half of the joy of
living comes in being able to gratify
little personal tastes and whims, and
to do as we please in simple matters
without having anybody interfere
with us. Freedom. Personal liberty.
These are the eternal passions of the
human heart that are stronger than
any human love, and those who try
to deprive us of them do so at their
peril.
Why, half the trouble with matrl
mony is that husbands and wives
make of it a strugg.e for mastery
Each wants to rule the other. Each
wants to force the other- to do his or
her way. Each wants to make the
other obey.
More homes have been wrecked by
domestic tyranny than by any other
one thing. So don’t try to make
your wife obey you, Mr. Man. You
can’t do it without breaking, her
heart, and her spirit, rnd making
her hate, you, and it isn’t wortu
the price.

You might be surprised to know
that the best thing you can use for
a severe cough, is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in just
a few moments. It’s cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in 24
hours. Tastes pleasant, too—children
like it—and it is pure and good.
Pour' 2*/ 2 ounces of Pinex in a
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari
fied molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, if desired.
Thus you make a full pint—a family
supply—but costing no more than a
small bottle of ready-made cough
syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
my price. It goes right to the spot
tnd gives quick, lasting relief. It
nroinptly heals the inflamed mem
branes that line the throat and air
massages, stops the annoying throat
fickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon
/our cough stops entirely. Splendid
or bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and
ironchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
ound of Norway pine extract,
amous for healing the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
Iruggist for “2% ounces of Pinex”
vita directions and don’t accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso
lute satisfaction or money refunded.

Boy Heir to $7,000,000
Oklahoma Oil Estate
Found in Philippines
NEWKIRK, Okla., Nov. 21.—A
search of several years for Gregario
Velasquez Carmichael, 13, said to be
joint heir to a $7,000,000 Oklahoma
oil land estate, has ended in an in
land village in the Philippine Islands,
remote from civilization, according
to advices received here from J. E.
Curran, a .ocal attorney, who has
conducted the search.
The boy is believed to be the son
of Du gal Carmichael, United States
soldier who married a Filipino, and
died on the islands unaware that
the barren acres which he had in
herited in Oklahoma harbored vast
stores of oil.
A daughter of Carmichael, Dorothy,
is a student in the Oklahoma busi
ness academy at Tonkawa, having
been found several years ago by an
aunt and brought to Oklahoma.
