SAFETY FIRST.
Cumming has a speed law. It
has been on the books of the
council for sometime and is ad
vertised by posted signs. This
speed law is now of force and
effect and will be more strictly
enforced in the future. This is
merely to give notice to motor
ists, and all who fail to observe
it may expect to make a liberal

Don’t Neglect the Vegetable Oar
den.
In the face of the present crisis
caused by the scarcity of food it
is absolutely necessary that eve
ry family have a vegetable gar
den, For from this source the
table may be sapplied with fresh
and wholesome food almost every
day in the year. The garden
should be well drained and if
possible should slope to the east.
The seed bed shouldlbe deep and
thoroughly prepared and barn
yard manure should be applied
and w r ell worked into the soil by
cultivation. This preparation
should be done in the fall, it is
still not too late to apply the ma
nure if it was not applied last
fall. Acid phosphate and wood
ashes should be applied liberally
and worked into the soil. The
acid will encourage fruiting and
hasten maturity; the ashes will
furnish potash to make the plant
healthy and the vegetable sound.
Where practical the garden
should be laid off in long straight
rows or beds, which will enable
a greater part of the work to be
done with horse cultivator. The
surface should be kept fine by
frequent cultivation with rake or
shallow running cultivator. Af
ter each rain during the growing
season, as soon as the surface
becomes dry enough, the entire
garden should be gone over with
a fine tooth rake to admit the air
and prevent the moisture from
evaporating. This cultivation
should not be more than one inch
deep. But after the ground be
comes dry enough it may be cul
tivated one and a half or two
inches, but never cultivate any
deeper.
As one crop is consumed fol
low with such vegetables as de
sired and the garden will supply
you with vegetables all the year
The surplus may be canned,
pickled or preserved for winter
use or market.
One quarter of an acre would
be sufficiently large to supply the
ordinary family and add more to
the health and comfort of the
family and reduce the cost of
living more than any acre in
staple crops on the farm.
Yours for home supplies,
S. J. SMITH.
County Agent.

LOOKING AHEAD.
In little things we must look ahead and think of the fu
ture. Perhaps the little deed of kindness, the loving word,
the sweet smile, or the wrong act, idle word or angry frown
may not effect our lives nor the lives of any one else today.
Let us not only think of the present, but looking into the
hereafter, see what the influence will be there.
It is in more subtle, and so to speak, higher atlairs than
these that the wisdom of looking ahead asserts itself.
When Esau, coming in weary and spent from the hunting
field, sold to crafty Jacob, for a mess of pottage, the birth
right which belonged to the elder brother, he simply did what
hosts of men have been doing ever since. lie did not Iook:
ahead hut acted on the moment’s impulse. For a tempora
ry pleasure, an apparent present advantage, he bartered his
heaven bestowed right to dignity, consideration and man
hood. And yet todav, many of us, to gratify ourselves for
the present, indulge in some pleasure which perhaps maybe
our ruin. It is done without thought for the future.
It is a line thing to stand in the midst of busy belts and
whirling pulleys, with the knowledge of heir governing law's

hand ; but it is finer and grander to stand where any mother
may stand, it she will, ‘ among the living spirits which are to
dominate the wheels; nondering the laws of human agency,
directing the development of human activity, bearing the
supreme weight of human responsibility ; doing it-all in utter
unconsciousness of self or of sacrifice, strong in the won
idrgus love which alone of earthly emollients is all persuasive
‘and all- powerful against the grind and wear and worry of
the vfrorld. *

girl and boy, and there is no way so sure of givi'rij* tftiS les
son than in making the home attractive and pleasant. Now,
to make it attractive is not for the mother to do all the rough
work and the daughter to do the trimming, but it is to have
your boys and girls share the cares, experience and labors
of the home. Teach them every detail, give them a person
al interest. Lay a foundation early, for it will be slow work,
requiring patience through oft multiplied failures.
Parents, we would say to you when God has blessed you
with good girls, appreciate them. Today is the time to do it
while they are hovered beneath your wings. Da not wait till
they are gone, perhaps forever, from the home nest. [lt you
love them, let them know it. If you have an interest in their
welfare, let them know it. If your girls are ambitious and
want to gain for themselves a position in life, help them, for
it is your duty to do so. If your girls want an education,
give them all the chance that lies in your power to acquire
one.
Melancholy cannot hold its own with perennial good na

joyous nature will fill an auditorium with good cheer. Des

sunbeams will not penetrate.

Among all elevating influences, that of a happy home is
the most permanent. Every clean home is an influence for
good in the community. Every ideal home must possess
beauty as well as cleanliness and kindliness. Every happy
hoa o should shed its refining influences abroad. Every good
home is an educator and adds immeasurably to the sum of
human happiness. Every home should be a faithful guar
dian of public morality, the surest safeguard of the public’s
future.
Homes are training schools for citizens, and only as they
teach patriotism in the fullest sense of the word are they do
ing their duty by the country in unstinted measure. The
family table is the family rallying place, and it is well, there
fore, that meals should neither be taken in silence, nor oc
cupied with frivolous gossip ; they afford the parent and the
children a meeting ground where they may come into close
sympathy, and where they may receive stores of knowledge
while the bodily needs are attended to.
