OF THE YEAR.
Farmers who are interested in get
ting (he best variety of cotton seed for
planting purposes for 1910 will he great
ly interested in this news story.
The Rucker Cottonseed Company, of
Alpharetta, Georgia, is now being be
sieged on all sides by farmers who are
having their orders booked early in
order to get a supply of pi nting seed
for ext year.
The Kucker Select No. lco'ton, so
extensively cultivated in Milton coun
ty in 1918 , has proven to be by far the
best money-making variety of cotton
ever grown. In many instances it
turns out 50 per cent lint. It makes
more seed cotton to the acre than other
varieties, and beats them all to the gin.
Planting seed are now being sold at
#4.00 a bushel by the Kuckdr Cotton
seed Company, of Alpharetta, Ga.
If any farmer among our readers is
in doubt about what variety of cotton
is best, let him write to the Rucker
Cottonseed Company, or to any farmer
or business man in M lton county, and
find out for himself just how much
more money lie ean make by raising
the Rucker cotton than he can make
by raising any other kind of cotton.
The farmers of Milton county claim
that they can make at least one-third
more by raising the Rucker cotton.

OLD AGE.
We wis'h to say a few woids for the old fol cs, believing
that the infirmities of advanced years are often treated with
an indi Here nee that is hard to bear. Not by all, of course,
tor there are man}', we will hope the majority, that are
thoughtful of the aged and kind to them. Then again, there
are others who, to put it mildly,-are harsh and cold. It is
very natural to smile on what is lovely and strong, and frown
on the reverse without even observing that we do so ; and
it often follows with the young especially, that as they look
on the furrowed face, the dim eyes and trembling hands,
the tottering, uncertain steps qf an old man or woman, they
seem to forget that in that warm and homey prison house
aic a heart and soul which yejirn for recognition, for kind
ness in word and deed, and for a little love, with an intensity
that youth in its fulness does not Know. They must forget,
or one would not so often hear such remarks as, “Oh grand
ma, don t bother; grandpa forgets everything; grandma,
what do you want to go for? Old folks ought to be contented
at home?”
In our words to others, in all our dealings with them, it
is oui duty to stop and think ; and with the old it is positive
ct uelty not to do so. It is down hill, remember; a hill with
steep stony paths, and at its foot there is only a grave. Don’t
be impatient words and looks push them along its precipitous
ways; don t bruise their weary feet with rocks of ridicule
and uncalled for jest; don t glaze that downward slope with
the ice of indifference ; and above all, don’t hang on every
bush and bou.der placards of their own deterioration. It is
not necessary to remind them that they have left their prime
and strength behind. T hey know it; none to well.
‘‘VICTORY MOTHERS.”
Under this heading an exchange makes the following sug
gestion. £
, War mothers who have united theH wiii-tjic-war ejlpt'ts
to best aid their sons in training here and fighting “over
theie have been asked to change the name of their organ
ization to “Victory Mothers.”
A Cleveland [O.] man who suggests the change believes
\ ictory Mothers” will mean more to the boys and the
mothe: s themselves than “War Mothers.” lie forgets that
all mothers, even she who has not been permitted to give a
son to her country’s cause, are working and hoping to be
Victory mothers. 1 his includes the young mother with her
Dube in her arms and the grandmother whose sons long ago
passed Uncle Sam’s military age line.
Every true and loyal mother in all America is a Victory
Mother. One justs naturally thinks of a boy who has left
home for service, and who may never return. One cannot
keep from his mind that service flag in the window when he
thinks of War Mothers.
Therefore, let us continue thinking of those who give their
sons as War Mothers, and of all mothers, including those
with stars —blue and golden—in their serv ice flags as Vic
tory Mothers.
And let us not forget that the sons of War Mothers have
gone from their side, and for that reason War Mothers should
have first call upon our sympathy and assistance.
The average housekeeper in modern circumstances spends
most of her time in the kitchen doing work that might be
much lightened if only she would bring herself to think so.
But the average mother of a family simply will not snare
ueiself. She ruflles and tucks the clviidren’s clothing so
that she may have more ironing to do, and cooks many more
difleient dishes for the table than is at all necessary for
wholesomeness, thus making herself much more work in
this direction. Better spare yourself, housemother, even
though )our family live simply. How much more pleased
will husband and children be to see mother look fresh and
tid} than to see he: heated and tired—too worn out to enjoy
the dainty repast she has woiked so hard to serve. Some
( lay they wiM miss you when it is too kite, if you give your
self no care.

People who make mistakes are those who quarrel with
one another before their children ; or who allow the latter to
grow up in idleness; those who talk about their troubles be
fore st: angeis; the father who tells his children to go the way
he does not go himself; and the young woman who does not
make a confident of her mother.

It does not make much difference whether you own your
house or home, but one little room in that house you can
make that little loom a home to you. You can furnish it
with such beautifying thoughts, you can turn it with such
sweet fancies, that it will be fairly luminous with their pres
ence, and be to you the very perfection of a home.
