EMIGH, I-oral Foreoaaten INDEPENDENT WOMAN. A confuted and burdened husband write* to the newspaper to ask: "Why ahould women continually change their atyle* In drcaaea, hata and other wearing apparel? Why ahould men be continually forced to pay moat of their aularlna to aatlafy the whims und fancies of their women folk, whose whole ambition in life la to be up to data In their wearing apparel?" This Is not nonsense: It la one of the serious problems of the tlmea and thf high coat of living. Thla thral dom of women to the dictates of those who have goods to sell them la one of the staggering questions of the day. For our own part we hellevn that when women want to take their part In the dutlea of cltlsens.itp they should be given Ihla right, but we sometimes wonder bow we can look for Indepen dent political action from the sex which hHa never ahown enough de termination and backbone to realst domination from those who sell It lta toggery—? NOW 13 THE TIME TO BUILD. Bound thinkers, closest In touch with and beat Informed on the present market situation and the war In Eu rope. predict a sharp Increase In the price on all building materials as soon as peace is desired or discussed by ths warring nations. This soaring of prices Is but natural and wholly Inevitable, It Is pointed out. owing to oountless millions of property destrojed tn the war sons The destroyed buildings must be replaced. America, and especially the South, will have to supply a large amount of the materials necessary for rebuilding. The enormous demand that always follows war will make prices much higher. The only escape for tke Southern builder is to BUILD NOW, while prices are right and materials plentiful. There Is tio other protection against Increased prices and multiplied build ing worries. The present prices will look cheap compared to prloea In the not distant future. THE SOUTH NEEDS MORE BOND ED COTTON WAREHOUSES. Under the new banking and currency law soon to go Into effect, the demand will be Insistent for more fireproof, bonded warehouses throughout ths South. Cotton In a bonded warehouse can be made desirable security for loans. Cotton on the farms of the Bouth, In the glnhousea and under trees is of no use and cannot he used for such loans. For many years the Idea has been preached to the farmers of the South that the fire risk and weather damage to hla cotton amounted to more than the coat of proper warehousing. To day cotton la coming to market with damages of from $6.00 to 11* 00 a bale attached to It-damaged cotton that must be picked off and which repre sents just so much loaa to the farmer. Proper warehousing and handling of the cotton crop will save 1100.000.000 a year to the farmers of the Bouth. This le a pretty nice waving to make Build better warehouses all over the cotton belt. Educate the farmers to proper ly protect their cotton and It will sa\e big money to the Bouth. But the fact that cotton under trees is worth nothing to the hanke of tire Bouth and the further fact that cotton properly warehoused is good collateral with the new national hnnktng system of the entire country means that the Bouth Is going to build morsel ware houses and to take better care in fu ture of lta cotton crop. THE COUSINS. John lived on a farm, and, like all hoys who live In tha country, he could | milk the cows and drive the oxen and feetl the pigs anti do ull tho think* that have to lie ilone on a farm. John's Cousin Charles lived In the city John vlulted him once, and the memory of that visit wan not pleasant. First, hl« clothes were not like thoee worn by the city hoys, and Charles had said their were "countrified;" then John did not know the games the hoys in the city played and, altogether, the memory of the visit brought hitter thoughts it was two years since that visit, and now Charles was tunning lo the farm to spend the summer. John drove to the station to meet him, hut both hoys had changed so much they did not recognize each oilier until the train pulled away from the elation. John stood by tho car riage and Charles came up to him. “Isn't this John?” he asked, putting out his hand. As they drove home John told Charles all the points of interest and showed him the big pond where they skated In the winter and gathered lilies In the summer. “You muMt have great fun here In the winter," said Charles. “We do.” replied John. “You know there Isn’t much to he done on a fiirm In the winter and we have candy pulls at the different farmhouses and we akaln by moonlight' and build a fire on the bank of the pond and beat coffee. Oh, It Isn’t so bad living In the country," he said with a laugh. The next morning when Charles went out to the barn John was milk ing. j# "Why “didn't yon call me?" asked Charles. "You are not used to getting up ao early," replied John, "und then, there Is nothing you can do." "1 could help you with the work." The Secret of Success (By Thomas Dreier.) The secret of success Is not a secret. Nor Is It something new. Nor Is It somtahtng hard to secure. To become more successful, become more effic ient. Do the little things better. So work that you will require less super vision. The least supervision Is need ed by the person who makes the few est mistakes. Do what you can do and what you should do for the Institution for which you are working, and do It In the right way. and the sixe of your Income will take care of itself. Let your aim ever be to better the work you are doing, ltut remember always that you cannot better the work you are doing without bettering yourself. The thoughts that you think, the words that you speak, and the deeds you perform are making you either better or worse. Realise with Henley that you are the master of your fate and the cap tain of your soul. You can be what you will to he. Forget yourself In rendering service to others. If an employe, strive to make yourself of greater value to your employer. Look upon yourself as a manufacturer. Think of yourself as being In busi ness for yourself. Regard yourself ns a maker and seller of service, and ever bend your thoughts and your ! energies toward the Improvement of your product. The wise manufactur !er never injures his machinery wil fully. Your body, your mind, your soul serve as your body, entertain Buy a 801 l as Weß as a Bale A I More practical help to the cotton in dustry even than buying: bales of raw cot ton would be the purchase of a bale of cot ton cloth. • That not only helps use the cotton but keeps the mills going. Practical movements for increasing the vogue of cotton goods are starting in many cities. The stores are showing interesting values. Keep your eye on the advertising and you will be posted on the “buy a bolt 1 ’ movement. said Charles. "Not In those clothes," replied John, looking at Charles' well-pressed suit. “I have an old suit with me,” said Chat “I will pot it on If you will let me help you with the milking; It looks easy ” "All right,” said John, "go and change your clothes.” John smiled to himself “He thinks It Is easy," he said. “Well, I’ll let him try, if the cow does not kick.” Charles came hack dressed in an old pair of trousers and a shirt turned away at the neck and the sleeves rolled up. , # John gave Charles his seat on the stool and Charles took the pall be tween Iks knees as John had held it. "You must have finished milking this cow,” he said, after trying a min ute. “No I didn’t ” said John, “rxiok,” he said as he took the pail, and, sure enough, the milk fell in streams Into it. “Let me try again,” said Charles. But, try as he would, he could not get the milk. « "It looks easy enough,” he said, "hut I do not know lmw; will you teach me?" If John said he would, and by break fast time Charles could manage to get a little milk into the pall, hut he felt that he had much to learn. “Never mind," said his aunt, when they all laughed at him; "you will learn after a while and be as good a farmer as the rest.” "After a few days on the farm Charles began to think, he was the one to be taught the things that were worth knowing, rather than his cousin, although the latter lived In the coun try, he found himself wishing that he knew as much as John. Charles remembered, too. how he had treated John when he visited him, and he was ashamed of it now. One night when John and Charles were walking down the road to the next farm Charles said: "John, I did not treat you right when you came to the city two years ago; T was a fool ish boy and T am ashamed of it. Will you overlook It and begin over?” John said he would, and it did not matter anyway, now. "I would give a good deal to be able to do the things that you can," said Charles. "You will before the summer Is over,” said John. "You are not afraid to work, and that Is all there Is lo It ’ When it was time for Charles to go home he and John parted with regret, and Charles promised to return for Thanksgiving. John drove home feeling that he should miss his cousin very much, "and lie Is all right,” he said, “If ho Ih a city boy; he knows how to work on a farm now."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. AIDING SHRUBS AND ROSES TO WINTER COLD WEATHER Washington, D. C While li acs, snow balis, and certain other shrubs should be let alone during the wigter, being /.either trimmed nor covered With straw and manure, other bushes need special attention. Hydrangeas. j Hydrangeas taeml-herbaceous) in thi I Soutli will last out the winter if prop i eriy cared for out-of-doors. The topi should be protected with straw of brush. This may be held in place about the Lushes with a little manure or stona* The flower bud* of the hydran gea form In the fall, and this cover wIU keep 1 2i*n i irom winter-killing while : shielding the bush from winds and sun. | In the North hydrangea* must, be taken ! up, planted In tubs and placed in the eel ; lar This is generally true of latitudes j north of Philadelphia. The shrub known as brugmansia should be treated as Is the hydrangea 1 . The brugmansia (known botanically as Daturoi is also called thorn apple. It Is u cultivated ftArm of Jimson weed and has long bell-shaped white flowers and rather coarse foliage. A* a rule shrubs should not bo trim med In tlie full. This process Is time ly Immediately after the blooming pe riod, if this is in the spring, as in the case of the snowball. If the shrubs bloom In the fall, as do some hydran geas, the rose of Kharon, and some lilacs, they should not he cut directly niter blooming, hut In the spring of the following year. The mock orange, which is also known as “syringa," needs no special treat ment lo help It winter the severe weather. The name "syringa,’’ al though poularly applied to the mock or ange. Is ready more appropriate for the lilac, which is known botanically by that designation, while the mock orange Is botanically "Philadelphua." Roses. Almost all kinds of roses are hardy In Ihe Vicinities of Washington and St. 1 -outs and to the south of a line drawn between these points. From Washing ton northward local conditions influence 1 the successful cultivation of certain va rietles. Some roses, as the briar and rugosa, need no protection, but ofher varieties., such as the hybrid-perpetuals, teas, and hybrid-teas, need special care, particularly north of the fortieth parallel. THE WAYS OF THRIFT For Homemakers of Tomorrow. (By Philander P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of the Bureau of Education.! Thrift depends more upon habit and on mental attitude than on any par ticular body of knowledge. It will, therefore, be difficult to prepare any definite outline for a course of in struction on the subject In the schools. The questions of civics and thrift are closely allied. There Is need of suitable, educative, purposeful, productive occupation for millions of school children in our cit ies. towns, manufacturing villages and suburbrtn districts who now have no proper employment out of school hours. In these places we have approxi mately 13,000,000 between the ages of f> and 20. Probably 6 per rent of these children arc away front home during the summer vacation months w’lth their parents. About 85 per cent remain at home without proper employment for any large part of their time. A large majority belong to families the members of which must earn their living by their dally labor and whose earnings are so meager that anything that can he added by the children is much needed. Many of them are cold In winter and must go hungTy much of the time. More than two-thirds of them leave srhool at 14 years of age or earlier, to become bread^nners. Home gardening done bjPrhe ohil- the ilirection of the schools seems to offer Just what is needed. In all of the manufacturing villages, sub urban communities and smaller towns and In the outskirts of the larger towns and cities there Is much avail able land in back yards, vacant lots and elsewhere which might be used for this purpose. Commandments of The Road The National Council of Industrial Safety has presented these rules for automobillsts. They should be re spected by everyone who drives an aif tomobile and everyone who bestrides a motorcycle. First —Be considerate Second—Go slow; first, passing chil dren; second, passing vehicles; third, approaching crossings; fourth, turning corners. Third —Stop first at railroad cross ings; second, behind standing street oars. Fourth—-Use chain on slippery pave ments. Fisth —When In doubt go slow or stop. And the Council further requests all automobillsts to obey to the letter FARMERS ATTENTION FEEDING FOR GOOD YOUNG LINGS. ‘ The new-born nuimal will never grow as fast attain as he has been growing during the period of gesta tion; and after he sees the light he will grow faster for the first month than he will ever grow again. Growth is a process that slows up from birth to maturity. That Is why the cheapest meat and weight we can mnke on our stock Is made early In the life of the animal fed All this assumes that the youngling arrives on this mundane sphere in good condition, and ready to strike his gait us a growthy addition to barn yard society. If he is In bad condi tion he becomes a runt. Cost of Feed Per Pig. Can we feet! the mother so as to give the young thing the best start? And can we feed so ns to make the younglings more numerous? John M. Sward of lowa, tried different sys tems of feeding on sows and ewes, with results that every one of us ought to think about. Some sows he fed ' during pregnancy on corn alone, some on corn and a heavy Supplement of meat meal, some on a light supplement of meat meal, some on corn and clover some on corn and nlfalfn, and some on corn and linseed -oil meal The sow* fed on corn alone produc ed the lightest average Utter, as well as the lightest average pig. All the lots fed on a supplement to the com carrying much protein had larger avrragv Utters, and larger average I Teas and hybrid-teas hardly succeed in i Chicago, although the hybrid-perpeiuul.. I grow as far north as Canada. All thesa j classes do well on L-ong Island and in j Boston near the sea when proper care is | given them. These varieties in the vl j cinily of Waapingion need merely a lit ' t-e manure on the ground to prevent al ternate ireezing and thawing. Fartl.c: j north, however, they should be treated 1 as follows: ■ Cut the tops to within 80 Inches ol | the ground. Cover the roots with coarse j manure or leaves or similar litter. Holu j this in place by brush, which also acts |as a protection. Evergreen bougns j may be substituted for tile coarser lit* ter except in the most northern regions. It is best to draw mounds of earth l about six or eight inches in height about I the base of the rose bushes to keep ! them from mice. In some localities | the loose brush around the roots will ut- I tract mice, who wid make their winter ] quarters there and destroy the rost bushes. As an added protection againsl mice, permit the ground to freeze slight ly before winter protection is supplied. In fact, roses should not be protected uijtll after the first light freeze, which may he expected In Washington about the first of December, but earlier farther' north. Climbing Roses. In the latitude of Philadelphia and farther south climbing roses usually need no protection during the winter unless they are a particularly tender variety. Farther north these roses need protec tion similar to that given to tlie tea and hybrid-tea roses. Climbing roses may be best eared for by being removed from tlteir supports. The branches should then be covered over with a little dirt and treated as hybrid-perpetual roses would be treated. A little fall trimming might he desirable to lessen the space occupied hy the branches on the ground. Such side branches as are not to be needed for nevt season’s blooming may be cut off. Such cutting off and shortening of the ends as would otherwise be done In the spring, may be done in the fall before covering, merely for convenience. The above method is milch more sat is factory than attempting to put straw about the roses as they remain on their posts or trellises. Vegetables, berries and fruits grown should be used first as food for the children und their families; then the surplus should be marketed to the best advantage. Ten or 15 cents’ worth of vegetables each day from the gar dens of 200 children would amount to s2o*or S3O. In the summer and fall, when the surplus Is large and cannot be marketed to advantage the should direct and help the children in canning and preserving for winter home use or for sale. The canning and tomato clubs of the Southern states have already shown what can be done in this way. Experiments already show that with proper direction an average child of the ages contemplated can produce on an eighth of an acre of land from SSO to SIOO worth of vegetables. A third of the children of the city schools of the United States might easily pro duce $300,000,000 a year. A boy 10 or 12 years old with a small plot of land, working under careful direction, can produce more for the support of the family than could be purchased with the boy's wages In factory, shop or mill. This plan In full operation would be a valuable supplement to the child labor laws. Probably the most valuable result of this plan would be found in the fact that it would make it easy for most children to attend school three or four years longer than they do now, a thing more and more desirable, since edu cation for life and citizenship in our industrial, social and civic democracy cannot be obtained before the age of adolescence. If a child can contribute to its support while in school he may remain in school longer than if he must he carried as a dead weight until he quits school to go to work. these Nine Commandments of the road: Don’t runt fast Into or across main highways. Don’t take blind curves too fast. Don't run on the wrong side of the road. Don’t pass street cars when passeng ers are boarding or leaving. Don't fail to sound your horn before passing other vehicles. Don’t forget that a car or a person tray be Just around the turn. Don’t forget that the other fellow may be dull, reckless or drunk. Don’t fail to look out for pedestrians Don't forget that children dash In the way unexpectedly. Don’t take chances. That’s the sim ple embracing rule. pigs as well The cheapest pigs were produced with a feed of one pound of meat meal to thirty pounds of corn— seVen and one-tenth cents per pig. Of all the feeds mentioned above, the pigs from the sows fed on corn alone cost most at birth, twenty-nine and three-tenths cents per pig. Sows fed on a mixed fee<|, consist ing of three parts oats, three parts bran, three parts middlings, and two ; parts meat meal dropped an average of ten and six-tenths pigs per Utter, costing forty-five cents each, while I the ones fed on corn alone had a rec ' ord of only seven and six-tenths pigs, and the larger Utters were heavier pig*. The pigs fed on protein-bearing supplements were thriftier, had more and betetr hair, lived better and cost less. Similar results were observed with the ewes, and probably they hold good with all farm animals. But the matter is especially important with I swine, as they are ordinarily more de pendent on the feeder than other Uve ; stock. RATHER STUPID.
