BECAUSE OF SAVANNAH'S FEEL
ING.
The Hot aid In printing rlsewhern
•n excerpt from the Conftreaslimal
Record, giving Representative Vol
nlend'H opinion regarding the appoint
ment of an auxiliary federal Jtulgo In
Judge Speer'* district. Mr. Volstead
rightly opine* that Judge Speer's bit
terest enernlee are in Savannah. The
extreme and vindictive attittule of
the Savannah lawyera toward Judge
Speer make It almost imperative that
•ome other judge should preside In the
federal courts In that city. We do
r ot offer the hope that the man elect
ed will he more to the liking of the
Savannah bar than Judge Speer, for
the fear that such a hope might
Imply a reflection upon the appointee,
hut wo do offer the hope that the law
yers in Savannah may live to learn
that an Impartial and Inflexible ap
plication of legal penaltlea and pro
visions Is the surest safeguard to a
community's progress and develop
ment.
ET TU—SAVANNAH.
So. Savannah, also, la getting dis
gusted with the license and vice which
inevitably grow out of the "nenr
becr" 'saloons. Judge Samuel It.
Adams and other of Savannah's ''best
people" have also entered upon a
movement for greater temperance In
the breaking of law.
We would not suggest that the
movement In Savannah la encourag
ed by Ihe almllnr movement In Au
gusta, which failed utterly of Its pur
pose.
Savannah appears to be entirely ob
livious of the fact that there la a pro
hibition law in Georgia, that she doe*
not ex’en name this movement a ‘‘law
enforcement” movement. It la mere
ly a protest against exeesalve de
bauchery and rowdyism, merely a sug
gest lon that a higher license nnd
fewer harrooms would meet with the
approval of Savannah's "best peop
ple" In Savannah prohibition still
remntns an Impractical theory.
The cold, solemn fart that It Is the
law of the slate of Georgia has seem
ingly never penetrated the conscious
ness of thai serenely sinning com
munity. We do not say this In nny
"holier than thou" spirit, for Augusta
can scarcely afford to make mention
of the Mackness of any kettle. The
great difference appears to he In the
fact that Augusta knows nnd repu
diates the state law, while Savannah
so completely Ignores It that her at
titude seems altnoat like one of In
nocence,
It 1* Interesting to note that when
Augusta's "heat people” got their
heads together to discus* the condi
tions of affairs In this city they agreed
among themselves lhat an extortionate
license on near-beer wna a virtual
permit from council for protection
against the state law in the ante of
Intoxicants, hut Savannah's "best
people," In complete and calm uncon
sciousness that the law of Georgia Is
expected to affect the city of Savan
nah. make Ihe claim that the good of
the community depends upon making
the license for saloons higher
It is evident, of eourse that the high
license under local option la a check
upon debauchery, but, the question,
which Is before every community In
Georgia. Is simply whether that com -
luunlty propose* to utterly defy and
flout the state law or to abide by It.
Ttad as the effect* of drunkenness
and the free sate of rank Intoxicants
are they not as deadly and Insidious
In their Influence as this quirt ac
ceptance of the spirit of law defiance,
which I* tired In the love of cltixen*
living and maturing to manhood In
rommunltlea. which ' treat law as
though It were non-existent.
V nnv good men and women believe
that Ih* prohibition law should never
have been passed In Gtortln, but no
one who know* the meaning of re
apert for law ran claim that thin law
need not be obeyed because It* pan*
wire did not have their approval
The central nnd vital question la
ehall we have law or lawlessness? If
we decide for law lowan en a and the
lawlessness grown excessive how are
we to bold it down? By passing more
of our own little community lawa and
aettlng up it government of our own
In open defiance of the government

MARIAN'S VISITORS.
Marion's nurse often told her stories
about the moon and the stars. One night
after nurse had left her Marian saw the
moonlight streaming In through the win
dow. Presently the curtain at the win
dow wan pushed aside and a bright,
smiling face looked In.
“Why. It is the moon man.’* said Ma
rian. sitting tip In bed.
“Good evening,” he said; "may I come
in?”
“I should be pleased to have you,” said
Marian, "but I didn’t know that you had
feet and legs.”
*» a/v /r +*o** ***^^S*'°
"Of course, I have," he replied, hop
ping over the sill of the window. He
whs so short that Marian had to look
over the foot of the bed to see him,
He did not have a body and his legs
nnd arms w«re very thin. "My chil
dren wanted to come with me,” he said,
“hut I thought 1 had better wait and ask
If you wore willing to have them.”
“I should he pleased to have them,”
said Marian, “if you think they can all
get In this small mom?”
Ttiv moon man hopped to the window
sill again and beckoned with both
hands. then he Jumped to the floor
again, his hand rolling from side to
side ns he walked He hopped up to
the top of the bureau and sat on one
corner, swinging Hi* atlck-llke legs.
.lust then a noise like the running of
children was heard. “IMc they come.”
said the nmoti man. and In through the
window came the stars tumbling over
each other In their haste.
Marian could not tell whether they
were girls or hoys they were dressed so

“Tako off your stars,” said the moon
man.
T'p went their little hands and drew
aside the stars which covered their
faces, and Marian saw that there were
boys and girls about her own age.
The room was filled and the window
sill, too, and Marian could see many
standing outside.
They began to sing and wave thelY
stars about. Marian put her hands
over her eyes.
"What is the matter?’’ asked the
moon man; "are they too dazzling for
you?”
Marian told him they were, and ho
said: “That will do, children.”
All of the star children stood still
excepting one girl, who was larger
than the others; sho kept waving her
■ tar back and forth and singing.
'T am the queen of the evening; my
beauty by far
Outshines all the others. I’m the bright
evening star.”
"Venus,” said the moon man, "you
keep quiet.”
“1 will sing If I want to,” said the
haughty girl tossing up her head. ”1 have
not been on earth In ages and 1 cannot
understand why I should not tell peo
ple who I am, for 1 am the staV they
usually wish on, and they should know
1 am beautiful.”
“Your brothers and sisters are quite as
bright as you are.” said the moon man.
"only they are not so large.”
“What do you mean by saying you are
the star that people wish on?” asked
Marian.
"Don't you wish on the first star you
see In the sky at night?” asked Venus,
"and say;
“Star, star shining bright; first star
I’ve seen tonight,
I wish 1 may, 1 wish 1 might have the
wish 1 wish tonight."
“Yes,” replied Marian, "and lots of
times 1 never got my wish, so if you are
the star you needn't feel so proud.”
"O goody, goody,*’ said all the other
stars Jumping up and down. "I guess
now Miss Venus you will not he so |»lg
feeling any more.”
Venus turned toward the moon. “Do
make them keep quiet. Father Moon,"
she said: “they are all jealous little
wretches.” nnd she reached towaVd
some of them ns she spoke as if she in
tended to box their ears, but the stars
jumped about nnd kept out of her reach.
The moon man quieted them and
then said: "We must be going; it

will soon be time for you to hide your
stars."
“flood night.“ they all said to Ma
rian In chorus, and out they went as
swiftly as they came in.
The moon man stopped on the sill and
bowed or rather swayed his head IVom
side to side. “You must excuse Venus,"
she said, “for her display of temper; you
see she has been spoiled by being ad
mired for ages, and she always wants
all the attention."
The moon man smiled and was gone,
and the next thing Marian knew the
sun was shining across her hed and
the nurse was saying: “Time to get up;
you overslept this moaning."

THE COW AND HER PRODUCT
Clemson College Weekly Notes for the
Farmer and Dairyman.
((These notes are prepared by the
Dairy Division of Clemson College,
which will he glad to answer any
questions pertaining to dairying.)
The time of churning is largely de
termined by the. temperature, degree
of ripeness and richness of the cream.
Rich orunm churns more quickly
and with smaller loss than thin cream
or whole milk.
Cream that has been skimmed with
a cream separator makes better but
ter and more of it than does hand
skimmed cream or whole milk..
The price of dairy products will in
all probability be high as long as the
quality is high.
Before churning, vise a dairy ther
mometer and have the cream at from
6ft to 70 degrees. Butter should re
quire from 25 to 30 minutes to come.
Regulate temperatures so that tills
will lie true, but do not add hot nor
could water to the eream.
In salting butter, one ounce of salt
to a pound of butter is generally about
right.
To know when to stop churning,
watch the size of the butter granules.
When they are about as large as
wheat kernels, it is time to stop
churning.
In butter-making, one's hand, no
matter how clean, should never come
in contact with the butter. Use a
paddle.
Vou cannot make your herd produce
mole butter except by making it pro
duce more milk.
Butterfat is the most valuable part
of milk. The cow that gives the
greatest quantity of butterfnt during
(lie year is the most valuable cow.
You onnnot know which cow is doing
this except by using the Babcock
tester and milk scales.

WHY NO NEWS IS BAD IN FRANCE
Will Irwin, special correspondent
for The American Magazine, contrib
utes another war article to the Janu
ary number. Its title Is “Hats Off to
France," and in it he tells of the cour
age and thrift of the French and of
their stocism under the pressure of
greut glef. lit the following extract
taken from the article he tells of the
suspense endured by families in get
ting the news from their relatives at
the front:
“Unlike Germany and England,
France does not publish death lists.
Any relative of a French soldier may
register at the Mairie a request for
news of the worst. Each French sol
dier goes into action with a numbered
tag of identification about his neck.
When he dies, in action or in hospital,
this is taken from him and compared
With it is Bum bar In the official lists.
From the military government in Bor
deaux to his own district the news
goes by post. Waiting for the malls
is anxious business tn these days!
There are places along the great line
where the p lod-up deati, German with
French, lie rotting, because no one can
reach them under the steady fire of
the guns. All l along, of course, the
Germans as well as the French have
been burying the French dead. An 1
the Germans send back no tags to Bor
deaux.
“Though malls are not running reg
ularly from the front, though In cer
tain plnc.-s where the military situa
tion 4s ildl ate, private* are forbidden
to write at all, most soldiers manage
by hook or crook to send letters home.
When the letters stop—the family
teals the worst.

ARE YOUR COWS EFFICIENT?
Putting the efficiency test to cows
with the milk scales and the Babcock
tester is one of the essentials of con
ducting a successful dairy. When feed
is high in price a farmer cannot af
ford to have boarders in his dairy
barn who eat up more in feed than
their milk yield is worth. The Bab
cock test will show these delinquent
cows in their true light, and the milk
scales will put the clincher on the
argument. Testing cows will give
some farmers a big surprise. Some
times the cow that looks like the poor
est creature in the lot is the best
butterfat producer. The dairy division
of Clemson College offers to give any
farmer advice about testing milk and
keeping records. Test, don’t guess.
