SOMETHING ABOUT
SMILING
(Pictorial Review.)
As a nation, we are taking many
ings too seriously—the high cost of
,-ing, feminism, the late fashion. We
ok at them so sternly and so anxi
islv that we forget to smile, especial
at little children and those we love.
r e ask children to have old heads
i young shoulders and we regard
ose we love as especially. designed
Providence for the unloading of
jr burdens.
A woman went to meet the man
le loved on his return from a long
lurney. During his absence, things
ad not gone as well with her as they
light. All the way to the station arm
hile she waited for the train, she
ullt up mentally the burden she
ould gladly unload on his shoulders,
would be such a relief to talk about
er troubles; and the more she thought
bout them the ' deeper the lines in
er forehead. But when the man
tepped off the train, he showed tell
de marks of illness. His shoulders
rooped, his feet lagged and there was
o light of welcome in his eyes.
The woman felt a sickening sense
f disappointment. Here was not re
ef. but added troub.e. The words
vhich rose to her lips were; Oh.
ear, you’ve been ill " Instead some
;ond fairy transmuted them into gold.
"Dear Heart, it’s so good to see you.

irms outstretched and a smi .
warm, "I -lo ve-you -better - than - ever
imile on her lips. ,
The man who had so long bori .

lite patience of love, responded to that
mile instantly. His step nu'okem,
lis shoulders seemed to straighten

"It’s certainly good to get back,
mil he smiled too. So was their iiie
ng glorified as if by a nfi w. plightum
of love and by the smile, rather than
by the words. For words without
smiles may be perfunctory and with
out welcome; but a real smilie, a ■ .-
that c-omes from the heart an ,
from the lips, is a living thing
rises above speech. f
When in doubt—smile It is a » .
play at almost any stage of
game. But be sure it’s the riR N
of a smile—not the fawning smile, not
the smile of fear which is better de
scribed as a grin, but the aml " ‘ j

PEANUTS WORTH FORTUNE.
In 1889, 52,22(1 acres of P eanu h t ®
were harvested in Georg a, a h'
Production grew in 1899 to 10*T_
acres, and in 1909 to 160,317 ac^ s „
Thus it will be seen that the acreage
has more than trebled.
The growing of peanuts In ' n< T aas ‘
ing in the state, and twelve or fifteen
farms out of each 100 now grow pea
nuts. The use of the reanut is grow
ing wonderfully. It is now used as a
food for man and beast, in making
Peanut butter, in oils and extracts
fi nd in candles.
The estimated value of the peanut
rro)i to Georgia for the year 1913 is
*2,250,000. .
dustry, is readily apparent. With the
open winters and the general mild
Jincl healthy climate, the abundance of
torage and low cost of raisiiig neces
sary cattle feed, cattle raising in Geor
gia can be made profitable at less ex- ;
penditure of energy, time and money
than in the West and other* sections
where cattle raising is carried on so
extensively.
"this js emhpasized by .to
certain figures comparing the esti
mated number of cattle, including
milch cows, sheep and swine on Geor
gia farms on January 1, 1913 and 191*1:
1914 1913.
Cattle, including milch

Sheep 166,000 - 169,000
Swine.. .. 1,945,000 1,888,000
'lhe value of Georgia cattle increased
from $18,794,000 on January 1, 1913, to
21,965,000 on January 1, 1914.

Georgia in 1914 than in 1913. And this
is true in fifteen other Southern states,
It is unnecessary to feed stock for
more than two months each year, and
as the state has an average of 235
growing days, it is apparent that Geor
gia offers exceptional opportunities to
the cattle raiser.
In 1913 CX orgia's sheep produced
612,500 pounds of wool, valued at
