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 of our state* Thta la what the fltiea of Georgia are doing We are sowing the wind, and our reding time will ►how us what ting aort of no win* will btin*. / LirniN rxjch vout-t Oe tooas / x / iXTWArauy marrv /AS A w.ojeii ,XJMX CAIE - WATCH «£ / AlOlAi • REAJO RwTH \ x / (r Fo w 0 f- vi£ ?

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 The Money Santa Brought Foxy old Santa Claus oft n has a trick of giving us money and letting us choose our own gifts.

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 THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 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."

((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. SOME OF THE WONDERS OF COTTON Colton touches all the Important mo ments of living. None lias so much and none so little hut cotton is a necessary part of ids daily life. A bit of the Irony of the gods is found in the fact that while war has demoralised the cot ton Industry, vet without cotton tlieve could lie no war. Not a single modern gun could tie fired, nor a battleship sail, nor an army lie put In motion without Hits wonderful product of tile modest cotton plant, for Its fruit Is the basis of al! high explosives and smokeless powder.' A warship Is a floating cotton mil), from the natty suits of Its jolly Jack tars to the gVim shells ready as fuel Tor tile 12-Inch guns that make modern warfare so terrible Long ago wool was thrown into the discard as the material for army uniform* and the world fights its battles today clad in cotton. Us use ranges fVom the Arctic explor er. who lines his duck suit with cotton Vo make It warmer, to the Hottentot, who spreads a film of cotton cloth across a few poles to keep out the heat. In South Africa the cotton blanket has driven out the wiwlen one. In the fartheat North of Canada twenty million yards of cotton duck are used annually for overcoats replacing fur. Among tile unusual, or rather little known or thought-nf uses of cotton tire the following: The foundation of ceiling enamel is cotton, and one single company re quired a million yards of cotton c'oth to shade tobacco plants growing In Southern rttmes, and four million vard* for the Utile tags In which the same totmcco goes to the consumer. One hundred and eighty million yards of cot ton cloth carry cement yearly to but d the gretv office buildings, and the electrical Industry of the country yenr'y Consumes four hundred thousand pounds of cotton in its insulation processes.— Genevieve Clark, in Seuthdu Woman's Mi ga tins.

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.

THE BEST—SO COME! 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.
