I am certainly In favor of the old
days when women ahlned their hus
band's shoes. I have the right kind
of a wife. Before I married her ahe
obtained a position In a cleaning and
repairing shop In order that ahe might
learn how to care for my clothes. She
spent one month at it and 1 have
never yet went a suit to the cleaners.
Where can you find a young wife
today who meets the requirement*? j
My wife eh nn* and pnli*he* my ahoea,

am a good wife and I have m good

INDUSTRIOUS HEN
10 HELP FARMERS
Winter Eggs Will Bring Rich
Returns if Proper Attention is
Given to Poultry Business.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Correspondent,
The Augusta Herald.
The farmer who is put to It to know
how he Ih going to make ends meet
will find that the industrious hen will
help him materially in the solution of
his problem if he will give the hens a
chance.
Winter eggs will bring a rich re
turn.
There is no reason why Georgia and
Houlh Carolina should import eggs
from North Carolina and Tennessee
and as far away as Kansas, though
such is the rase.
If it Is profitable business for the
poultrymen of these states to ship
eggs, why should it not he more prof
it;! hie for Georgia and South Caro
lina to produce sufficient for (heir
own supply?
It can he done.
The poultry business is one of the
most easily and quickly profitable In
dustries, with good prices for eggs
and poultry, and small expense for
food.
The hen will prove a money-maker
on the farm.
In Georgia and South Carolina hens
will lay all winter, so expert poultry
husbandman who know say, if fed on
egg mash of cotton seed end grain.
This Is the advice of F\ C. Hare, poul
try husbandman at* Clemson College.
Though it Ih possible to obtain
profitable winter egg production from
any mature pullets and young hens
under favorable conditions, the two
breeds most popular in this section
are possibly the Barred Plymouth
Rocks for meat and brown-shelled
eggs, and the Single Comb White Leg
horns for white-shelled eggs.
There are, of course, some problems
which the man who engages in % the
poultry business will naturally en
counter. It is not possible to turn
alonso a few hens and a rooster in a
barn yard and, with no further atten
tion to the business, reap the most
profitable returns. But the problems
that arise, as they will arise, may be
easily solved. At both the Georgia
State Agricultural College at Athens,
and the Clemson Agricultural College
at Clemson College, the farmers of
Georgia and South Carolina have at
their service always bureaus of ade
quate information. A4l that any man
need do Ik to follow the advice of the
agricultural college experts.
Following the advice of Professor
Hare of Clemson College, a breeder at
Prosperity, in Newberry County, South
Carolina, last winter made a clear
profit of s2r.H.7f> from his hens after
paying for food. His eggs were sold
at the market price.
When it Is considered that in South
Carolina two chickens are raised each
year to each person, and that the pro
portion in Georgia is little higher, the
raising. of poultry is not only a busi
ness that will produce quick returns,
but an industry that these two states
need badly.
FRANK’S LAWYERS SAY
WILL NOT GIVE UP HOPE
Atlanta, G«. —Attorneys for l/co M.
Frink arc searching the records In thou
annda of criminal cases In an endeavor
t«* find one more basis for a review of
tiie cane ahould the United States su
premo court rule against their appeal.
It is expected that this point will be
settled next Monday, hut the attorneys
state tint even ahould the decision go
agalnat them they will not give up hope
as long ns there Is a step left to take.
Several prominent attorneys here say
that If the United States court refuses to
grant the writ which will j ertnit Frank
to bring his case before tb .t tribunal
no earthly hope remains beyond an ap
peal for clemency at the hands of the
prison commission and the governor.
Hut Frank’s attorneys persist in the
hope that some precedent may he found
which will delay the matter a little
longer.

BE NO WAR IF EUROPE
HAD A BASEBALL LEAGUE !
New York.—Baseball as a panacea for
militarism ridden Europe is put forth by
a Harvard alumnus, who has spent
some years abroad. In a letter to the
Harvard aiumni weekly, he writes:
‘‘My idea of the best cure for this
war condition would he ‘more baseball.’
I believe that if they had had a regu
lar baseball league in Europe with Ber
lin, Paris. London, Vienna, Antwerp,
etc., participating, as well as a minor
league taking in Belgrade, Brussels and
a few other such places, the fans would
never have tolerated the breaking out
of this war during the baseball season,
and if they had postponed it until the
world’s series was over it would have
given them all time to cool off, and they
probably would not have had any war.
They say that baseball has done mere
to civilize the Philippines than the Am
erican army, constabularies, and mis
sionaries put together.
