SPORTS SHORTS
By BUSS WALKER.
Joe Engel’s famous slogan, “OPEN
ING DAY IS CLOSING DAY,” is a
sure sign that the baseball fans’ hap
piest day of the year is just around
the corner and you can always depend
on the irrepressible showman open
ing the season in anything else but
due and ancient form.
This April 16 may be just plain old
Tuesday to a lot of folks, but to the
Lookout fans it’s Joe Engel’s Stunt
day and this is one time he has a
perfect set up for it. With Chief
Woodie Arkeketa, a full-blooded In
dian, in the line-up, it’s just too good
an opportunity for the jovial Lookout
prexy to pass up and this year’s little
by-play carries the formidable title
of “Avenging General Custer.” Just
what the plot will be no one has been
able to find out, but the Bush League
Baron walks around the front office
with a grin on his beaming counte
nance like the canary that swallowed
the cat and all he will tell you is,
“Wait and see.”
There will also be a ball game, as
the Lookouts play the Atlanta Crack
ers in what looks like a natural, since
Ki Ki Cuyler is still burning around
the region of his well-laundered col
lar from that ignominious three-game
spanking that Texas Paul Richards
and his Peachtree Cowboys gave the
champions in last year’s play-off. Ki
is determined to even the score and
wipe out the disgrace of those de
feats, so the contest all the ear
marks of a grudge fight and thumbs
down for the loser. It’s sure to. be
one whale of a ball game.
Since Engel has been with the club
the Lookouts have run away with ev
ery opening-day attendance trophy
except one and we won’t dwell on that
too long. You know, there’s some
thing about these same Lookout fans
and the loyal way they pull together

have heard—and believed—Alka-Seltzer radio announcements.
To these millions, the relief obtained by the use of Alka-Seltzer
is worth far more than the genuine enjoyment they get from the
broadcasts.
The most important parts of our radio program, both to you and
to us, are the commercial announcements. Once you have tried
Alka-Seltzer we believe you will agree with us.
But try Alka-Seltzer because it is an unusually effective medi
cine not because you enjoy the radio programs.
WHY ALKA-SELTZER IS SO EFFECTIVE
The pain-relieving analgesic in Alka-Seltzer is in complete solu
tion, ready to ease the distress as soon as you swallow it. The
painrelieving action is made more effective by alkaline buffers.

PENSIONS.
Paul V. McNut, federal security
administrator, advocates larger fed
eral aid to poorer states to establish
a nation-wide minimum pension and
wider coverage for old-age insurance
by including the millions of self-em
ployed. It is estimated that there are
fourteen million self-employed. The
administrator thinks that public as
sistance payments to the aged vary
too much and that there should be
more liberal federal participation in
states where financial limitations
have resulted in “pitifully poor pen
sions.”
SIDE DRESSING COTTON AND
CORN.
During the five-year period, 1935 to
1939, inclusive, the Chilean Nitrate
Educational Bureau, Inc., working in
co-operation with departments of vo
cational agriculture throughout the
state, conducted 280 cotton fertilizer
demonstrations and 174 corn side
dressing tests. Each demonstration
was 2% acres in size. The cotton was
fertilized before planting with ap
proximately 400 pounds per acre of
standard low-nitrogen mixed goods,
such of 3-9-5, 4-8-6, 4-8-4 and 3-8-8.
Generally, the corn was not fertilized
before planting. A side-dressing ap
plication of 200 pounds per acre of
Chilean nitrate was made to the cot
ton after chopping and before squar
ing. The corn was side-pressed 40-50
days after planting.
The per acre yield results from
280 cotton demonstrations with Chil
ean nitrate was 1,113 pounds seed
cotton, without nitrate 764—an in
crease of 369 pounds due to side
dressing. This increase in yield is
about the same as they obtained at
the experiment stations. Therefore,
the farmer may expect such returns
when he follows the same general
practices.
For the 174 corn side-dressing tests,
the per acre yield in bushels with
Chilean nitrate was thirty bushels,
without nitrate 18 —an increase of 12
bushels due to side-dressing.
Experiment station results indicate
that farmers may expect six to eight
bushels of corn from each 100 pounds
of nibrate of soda used as a side
dressing. The above yields obtained
from 174 farms are in line with the
station findings. Rainfall and nitrogen
are the two main limiting factors in
corn production. It is important that
corn be side-dressed at the proper
age (forty to fifty days after plant
ing) rather than at some specific
height of plant. Georgia could prac
tically double the average yield of
corn by appliyng thirty-two pounds of
nitrogen per acre. This extra corn
would make more live stock possible.
The co-operating agencies hope that
the official agricultural workers, Fu
ture Farmers of America. 4-H clubs,
and adult farmers will make use of
these results to the end that both
cotton and corn may be grown at a
profit.

LESSON
GOD’S FORGVIING LOVE
International Sunday School Lesson
for April 14, 1940.
Golden Text: “If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and righteous
to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteous
ness.”—l John 1:9.
Lesson Text. Hosea 6: 17; 14: 4-9
The little book of Hosea, one of
what is called the “minor prophets”
of the Old Testament, is unique.
There is no other book in the Bible
that is just like it. Personal history,
allegory, propehcy, condemnation of
sins and proclamations of Jehovah’s
love are all encountered in its short
chapters.
Hosea followed closely after the
prophet Amos, about whom we studi
ed last week. He spoke to Israel, but,
unlike Amos, he was a native, some
think a man of high birth and promi
nent place. Out of his own personal
experience he discovered a message
for Israel.
The first few chapters of the book
of Hosea contain biographical infor
mation about the prophet. We are told
that he married a woman named Go
mer, who was unfaithful to him. Sev
eral children were born, given alle
gorical names in the book, but Gomer
deserted them and Hosea for a life of
recklessness and shame.
Hosea, however, never loses his love
‘or Gomer, a point which seems to
justify the belief that she was vir
uous and pure when he first met her.
However low and degraded she be
came, Hosea still followed her with
his love and looked forward to a
brighter day of happiness when the
past could be forgiven .and washed
away.
Eventually, he recovers her, buys
her from another as a slave and
brings her back to his home, not as
wife and queen, however, but to un
dergo a period of reconstruction and
training, a mode of reformation, with
the hope that at length she will be
able to reassume her station in the
heart and home of the prophet.
We give the above outline of the
first three chapters in order to give
a sort of background and explantion
of the Scripture references given for
our consideration. There are some
who question the fact of this persona
sketch, considering it only a story—
a sort of parable—which Hosea used
to illustrate the great religious mes
sage which is in the book, to make its
meaning clear to the Israelites. Oth
ers, however, accept it as a truthful
narrative of a bitter experience, and
the weight of authority seems to us
in accord with this opinion.
The application of the story above
sketched occupies the remaining chap
ters of the book. The moral, religious
and political faults of Israel, are pic
tured over and again, punishment is
shown to be the logical result thereof,
but the hope of escape from punish
ment is always held up to the sinner.
The love of Jehovah for his people is
reiterated, a love that will not let
their sins banish them forever from
his grace.
Israel’s condition morally, political
ly and spiritually, was excedingly
bad, as even a hurried reading of Hos
ea will show. Swearing, lying, killing,
stealing and adultery are specifically
referred to, and it was said that “no
truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of
God” was “in the land.” Priests were
as bad as people. Religious ceremon
ies were degraded, the people in their
ignorance of God confusing some of
the pagan and unmoral rites with
their worships of Jehovah.
Hosea, however, was the prophet of
salvation. He indorsed the protest of
his predecessor, Amos, against mere
formality in religion and one of his
verses has been described as the
greatest utterance of the Old Testa
ment, namely, “I desire goodness and
not sacrifice, and the knowledge of
God more than burnt offerings.”
Nothwithstanding Hosea’s condem
nation of the sins of Israel, he preach-
