South Entering New Era of Agricul¬
tural Production, Declares
H. G. Hastings.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—That the
Boys’ Corn Club movement means a
great deal more to the South than
the average citizen has ever dreamed,
1 b the conclusion presented in an in¬
teresting Interview by H. G. Hastings
of Atlanta, chairman of the agricul¬
tural committee of the Atlanta Cham¬
ber of Commerce and manager of the
Georgia State Corn Show, which is
presented annually in the state capi
tol building.
"We are facing,” says Mr. Hastings,
"an era of agricultural production such
as the world has never before wit¬
nessed. Every year since the first
corn club was organized, the move¬
ment has seen more than remarkable
growth. One year’s record has be¬
come insignificant when that of the
next year doubled it; and by that, I
mean that many more boys have gone
into the work and have vastly In¬
creased results not only by their own
efforts, hut through inspiration to fa¬
thers, brothers and neighbors until
millions of dollars have already been
added to corn production iri the South.
“And yet this is but a forecast of
what Is to come. There are now be¬
ing organized as an outgrowth of the
corn club work, Three and Four-Crop
Clubs. The boys will plant oats and
cowpeas on their former corn acre,
thus diversifying their crops and re¬
newing the soil, while a new acre will
he taken for com cultivation. In some
sections cotton lias been added to the
list, on a third acre, and the nour
Crop Club boys have already gone to
work.
"Another outgrowth of the corn club
is the Pig Club. Southern boys have
learned the truth of the story of the
unsuccessful farmer who sent to a
more prosperous neighbor to buy a
shoat. The neighbor sold him the
shoat, hut with it presented him a
sack of corn. ‘You have got the
shoat under your arm,’ he told the
farmer, ‘but I want you to remember
that the hog is in the sack.”
SOLVED.
“IIow does your husband account
for the high cost of living?”
“Very simply. He just blames
me for it.”—Detroit Free Press.
LITERALLY SO.
i ‘The revival of spanking is very
much opposed by many educators.”
“Yet it is hound in the nature of
things to make a hit”
WHY SHE WAS NOT AFRAID
Wife of Frontiersman Had No Reason
to Fear Hostility From Her
Kinsmen.
Among the frontiersmen who
closely followed the footsteps of
Lewis and Clarke across the Rockies
was Col. Joseph L. Meek. He sealed
in Oregon, and, like all the earliest
pioneers, he was obliged to choose
his helpmate, so the Oregonian says,
from among (ho dusky maidens of
the forest.
During the early settlement of the
territory the < 'ayuse Indians were
quite menacing in their demonstra¬
tions of hostility to the little band
of pioneers—so much so, indeed, that
a meeting of the settlers assembled
to take counsel about the safety of
the community resolved to send two
of their number across the moun¬
tains to implore aid from the govern¬
ment at Washington.
Colonel Meek and Squire Eberts
were appointed, and they set out
across the mountains and the des¬
erts. and in due time reached their
destination. While there the colonel
was invited to a levee given by some
one of the political notables. lie
was introduced to a lady, who, nat
~nrally enough, made inquiries about
Oregon, the hostile Indians, and so
fOTtll.
"But your wife,” began the lady,
in a lull between thrilling narratives.
“Or haven't you a wife?”
“Yes." replied the colonel, “I have
a wife.”
"V hy,” said the lady, “1 should
think she would be so afraid of the
Indians ?”
“My wife afraid of Indians!” ex¬
claimed the colonel. “Why madam,
she is herself a squaw!”—Youth’s
Companion.

DIVING BELLS LONG IN USE
Submarine Machine Said to Have Been
Employed in Europe Off Scotland
Coast in 1509.
Diving bells were first .mentioned,
though somewhat obscurely, by Aris¬
totle about 325 B. C. They were
used in Europe about 1509 A. D.
One is said to have been used on the
coast of Mull, Scotland, in searching
for the wreck of part of the Spanish
armada before 1662 .
Halley, about 1716 , greatly im
this machine, and was, it was
said, the first who, by means of a
diving bell, set his foot on the
ground at the bottom of the sea.
Smeajon made use of the diving bell
in improving Ramsgate harbor. A
man named Spalding was drowned
with his assistants going down in a
diving bell on the Irish coast.
The British man-of-war, Royal
George, sunk olf Par:smooth in|
1782 , was surveyed by means of a
diving bell in 1817 . The talpa ma- j
rina, or sea, mole, a diving machine
for laying torpedoes and the like, be- 1
ing a cylinder provided with com¬
pressed air sufficient for two persons
for 50 hours, -was invented by Tos¬
sed i, a Venetian, and was success¬
fully tried in the Bay of Naples in
1871 .
WHAT DID HE MEAN?
She—l dearly love cats. When
we’re married .1 shall keep one or
more.
He—One mother-in-law is enough.
THAT’S DIFFERENT.
“I’m going to take a stick to that
miserable beast of yours one of these
days, madam.”
“I wish you would. Neither his
.father nor myself can do a thing for
him.”
“Madam, I’m speaking of your
dog, not of your little boy.”
“What! Take a stick to my Fido!
You horrid brute, you! Don’t you
dare!”
TOO FACILE.
“What I admire about Tibbies is
I his- facile way of doing things.”
J “His wife says that's just the rea
| son why she never believes an excuse
| he makes.”
HIS FEAT.
“How did they save the poor boy
| who fell overboard?”
j “Oh, they just threw him a bar
I of soap and he washed himself
i ashore..”
AT PALM BEACH.
“You can’t bathe in that costume,
lady. It’s entirely too scanty.”
“This is my street costume,” said
the lady, haughtily. “I have no in
tention of bathing.”
EXCEPTIONS.
“Many poor convicts have had no
elevating influences in their lives.”
! . “Perhaps, but there are any 1111m
j her who have been taught to “lift’
I things.”
THE RESEMBLANCE.
“You lied about this horse you
| sold me when you told me he was
; like a lion.”
“I told you the truth. Isn’t he
a roarer?”
TOO OPTIMISTIC.
“1 will yet see the time when the
law is no respecter of persons.”
“Then you’ll be in an asylum.”—
Baltimore American.
Sneffels, Col, A. J. Walsh was 1
badly done up with rheumatism and
sent for Foley Kidney Pills which
was the only thing that would cure
him. Geo. Pottor of Pontiac, Mo.
was down on bis back with kidney
and bladder trouble and Foley Kid¬
ney Pills made him well and able
to work. It is a splendid medicine 1
and always helps. Just try it.
