Calls on Citizens

Il ileE
Devils Lake Fair and Driving
association shows that in spite
of the stringency in money mat
tiers throughout the country the
ISOLATION was enabled to pay
its way without increasing their
debtedness the past season.
During the season extensive I'M
pr0vements were made on the
track and in the grounds. The
ociation is now in fine shape
to do business with a prospect
OF coming out ahead another
season.
The management is in the
hands Of business men who han
die the business judiciously.
They are, however, In need Of
money at present to meet bills
for lumber now due. The citi-
zens Of this county will be cal
led upon by the board Of
directors during the coming
week to solicit their aid to met
these bills. That the race meet
i1lgs are great benefit to this
city is an acknowledged fact.
At no time during the summer
were so many people in the
town as during the races. The
restaurants and stores were
crowded and every business man
received a direct benefit from.
the money spent. We now ask Of
each citizen a small contribution
to help us make these race meet
ings one Of the permanent at
fractions Of this city. We have
the confde nce in you to know
positively that the reception Of
the committee calling on you
will be cordial, and that you
will see as we do that these race
meetings are a necessity in a
business way.

COnRtinafed Homes.

The best thing that could happen to
the average home is to get rid of about
half the stuff it contains. People keep
buying new stuff, bringing it into the
house, showing the old stuff aside, al
lowing corners and cupborads, attic and
basement, to become congested with q
lot of old clutter that is of no use to
any one, but forms hiding-place for
vermin and a bree ding-place for all
sorts of germs.
Constipated-that is what is the mat
ter with such homes. What they
need is a dose of physic. If the right
sort of a burglar. could enter such a
house, back up a two-horse wagon in
front, and haul off few wagon-loads
of this useless stuff, the people in the
house would not be the losers, but the
gamers.
1t is very easy to buy something and
bring it home, but it is not quite so
easy to get rid of it afterwards. So
the stuff keeps accumulating. Boxes
and half-flled empty bottles, chests
stuffed full of half-worn clothing, old
rags, shelves piled up with miscellane-
Gus matter hardly fit for use and yet
too good to throw away, closets hung
full of this and that.
And 80 it is from basement to attic,
wads of worthless rubbish, piles o1
paltry belongings, which attract dirt
which hold dirt, which vegetate dirt,
snd finally degenerate and crumble
away into the dirtiest kind of dirt.
What such homes need is thorough
physic, a drastic cathartic. If some
gang of pillagers or horde of marauders
would only come and pull out, kick
loose, tear down, all this superfuous
trash, then all might 60 well for q
time.
But no such relief will come. We
must look in some other direction fol-
help. The habits of the home should
guard against household constipation.
The first move should be made by the
wife, to whom the following advice is
submitted:
Call the junkman to your home to,
morrow. Persuade yopr husband to
stay at home with you all day. 90
over the house from top to bottom.
Take away all superfuous stuff-chairs,
benches, boxes, bottles, papers, old
magazines, old clothing, worthless
books, everything that is not needed.
Trim it down close. The more you
get rid of, the better you will be off.
Make clean every vacant place that is
left by the absence of these things.
Put on a coat of paint or yarnish or
whitewash. Something or other to
take the place of the confusion. 1.-The
Evangelical.

Remember Mother, Boys.

How the chirp of that lonely crick
ct brings to mind the dear old home,-
yes, years and years ago, weare afraid to
say how many-when the breezes crept
in under the low hanging branches
and the graceful elm swept the roof of
the old home loving embrace, when
the odor of phlox and tuberoses was
waited in from the garden. We re-
member the deep dark shadow under
the rough old oak, and the ruddy
| lights the red curtained windows; the
pleasant rooms. the books, the music,
and-mother. Doyou remember moth
er? 1t is your mother we mean. The
mother who laughed over our baby an
tics, grew proud ofour boyish triumphs,
hid her sad heart beats when we left
the home fold to win our way in the
world, the mother whose hair grew
gray in her care for US, whose heart
grew humble by the multitude of her
prayers in our behalf; whose face grew
more tender as the years marked their
progress upon her cheeks, whose steps
faltered and whose hands trembled be-
cause her bouyancy bad been given
freely in our behalf. The mother
w uO Sldlu Ill Luc Wull6 we.
were far away. The mother bird in
the nest after the fedgling had flown.
There came at last letter to US in
another hand, and dear old mother
was at rest. Then we went home. but
the old time home was gone forever.
Ah, we know, how trivial everything
then seemed beside mothers love.
We know how a kind word of old
would have cheered her heart. We
know how the business cares crowded
out the home letters; and how mother
watched and waited for the tardy mis-
sive. We know how her heart bled
for an old time caress, and how she
went to rest with prayer on her lips
for you. And now it is too late, and
the crickets play their lonesome me-
lody, while white stone in "God's
Acre" marks where mother rests after
her work is done. Remember mother,
boys, before it is too late-we have yet
time to show our appreciation of her
love. See her hair, it is as white as
snow, and it has been bleached by care
of us. Watch her steps how they fal
ter. Cherish her. Show her your
love. Court her as you would sweet
heart, if you would make her happy.
All too soon this mother will be gone,
and then God grant the cricket song
will bring us naught but kind memo
ries.

Living Expenses OF Families.

A bank in Chicago has forbidden
those of it's employees to marry who
have less than thousand year to
live on. The bank presumably thinks
there will pc unusual temptations to
dishonesty on the part of employees
who must keek up a family on less
than one thousand dollars. The aver
age annual earnings of a citizen of the
republic is said to be about three
hundred and sixty-fve dollars. If one
thousand dollars a year should be the
required earning capacity of a pro
spective husband, bachelor maids and
bachelor men would be the rule
rather than't the exception. There are
people who are too poor to marry, and
who would do we'll to remain
unmarried, and some countries have
even undertaken to set up certain
financial requisites to the connubial
condition, but this country will not
likely do so. E. A certain popular
magazine published few years since
series of articles on how to keep
house on various amount year.
The first article told how to run the
household on twenty-five thousand a
year, and the others were graded down
until the last actually condescended to
tell the readers how to keep house on
the paltry sum of twelve hundred
a year Which, one would think
was quite below the average expense
of living of its readers! Yet it is safe to
say more than half it's readers live on
eight hundred or less year. But in
Vanity Fair it does not appear well to
give countenance to the needs Of ones
poor kin, nor even recognize their
existence. May the bank prosper and
may the magazine learn to deal
honestly with the needs of its readers.
Meanwhile we are glad that the
averag citizen of the United States can
support family on three hundred and
sixty-five dollars year. In doing so
he is faring sumptuously as compared
with the masses in the European
countries. from whose upperclasses
certain Americans have imported
sonbbery.

ALFALFA OR SPANISH LUCERNE.

In writing about alfalfa we feel call.
I'd upon to explain to those who dc
not know that this forage plant il
more commonly known in this section
as lucerne, and as it has been grown in
different portions Of the country it il
not altogether unknown to many o.
our farmers. This plant has recently
been attracting considerably more atten
ton among the farmers of some of the
Southern States than it has for some
years past. It's value as hay crop
and its superiority over other grasses
has been fully demonstrated at several
experiment stations where tests have
been made, as will been seen by the
following account;
"Under direction of J. F. Duggar
of the Alabama Experiment Station
at Uniontown, Ala, experiments in
raising alfalfa were made last year
The seed was sown broadcast March 90
1903. Three cuttings were made up tc
September 3, when drought interfered
and rendered fourth cutting impossi.
bic.
"Each cutting of hay required only
one day in curing. 1t was then re.
garded by Mr.. Richeson, who was iu
charge of the work, as dry enough tc
store in the barn, where it kept with.
out moulding.
This shows yield of more than foul
tons of hay per acre when stored. II
would probably not be safe to regard
this as thoroughly cured hay, suitable
for storing in large masses. If, to be
tboroprhlu oopoorvofiuo ua accup, q
that further drying out to the extent
of twenty-five per cent, after being
placed in the barn, would be necessary
before we could regard this as thor
oughly cured hay, we should still have
q yield of more than three tons per acre.
"Alfalfa stands higher than any
other forage plant as source of wealth
for the regions to which it is adapted.
1t prefers lime soil and is especially
adapted to the better grades of lands
throughout the Canebrake. 1t has
wonderful possibilities as hay plant
for this reason. Its hay has recog-
niZed place in the larger markets.
The yield is greater than Johnson
grass on lands to which it is adapted.
1t affords a hay that is unsurpassed in
anu 10 pdOle
of sustaining farm teams without q
fraction of the usual ration of corn.
We can not too strongly advise that at
least enough alfalfa besown this spring
on every Canebrake farm to afford q
supply of hay for the teams. BY de-
voting a few acres of suitable land to
this crop, the area of corn necessary
to feed the teams will be reduced in
two ways: First, by the smaller
amount of corn which it will be nee
essary to feed when alfalfa hay consti-
tutes the forage; second, by the in
creased yield of corn per acre that re-
suits when the blades are left on the
stalks, instead of being pulled for
fodder.
alfalfa is capable of becoming the
foundation for stock raising in this
part of the State. 1t makes excellent
and safe pasturage for hogs and horses
and mules, and no better food for win.
tering or fattening cattle can be had
than alfalfa hay.

THE COTTON STALK WEEVIL
Director Bauer Says the Matter Is
Much Overdrawn.

: The cotton stalk weeviI," a new
, insect which has made its appearance
in Georgia and is almost as dangerous
as the boil weevil, according to tht
Augusta Chronicle, does not exist ir
!, this State, so far as Section Director
Bauer is informed and believes. Mr.
Bauer was shown this clipping from
the Augusta paper Friday:
"A new insect, known as the cotton
stalk weevil, has made its appearanc
in Georgia and is raising havoc with
the young cotton in Terrell county.
State Entomologist Willmon Newell
has just returned from Dawson. where
he made q thorough examination OF
the weevil and its work. and he is now
arranging for treatment of the cotton
plants which have been attacked by
the insect and for remedy that will
completely destroy it.
1.-The insect attacks the stem or the
stalk of the cotton and nearly every
plant attacked dies very shortly after.
wards. The farmers in Terrell county
are very much alarmed over the ap.
pearance of the new kind of bug. En-
tomologist Newell states that he has
never seen or heard of such an insect
before.
"The bug is almost as dangerous as
the boil weevil, as it destroys the stalks
of the cotton before the boil weevil ap-
pears. If the insect should scatter over
the State as fast as it is scattering in
Terrell county it will be serious thing
for the farmers to contend with this
year, and the cotton crop in Georgia
will be materially shortened.
Entomologist Newell says he will
exert every effort to destroy the insect
before it makes a spread of the State,
He does not think that the boil weevil
has as yet made its appearance in
Georgia, but he regards the new insect
which has appeared and which attacks
young cotton stalks as very danger
GUS factor and he is anxious to get rid
of it as soon as possible"
Mr.. Bauer thought after reading the
clipping that about, the only thing that
could be calmly reported as having
been discovered was an excited i'm.
agination of another George newspa.

that the Georgia State entomologist's
estimate of the importance of the sub.
| ject had been very materially changed
and colored almost beyond identified.
ton after percolating through the brain
of the newspaper man.
"Never heard of such an insect"
Mr.. Bauer said. "There is none such
in this State, so far as have been in.
formed; and I don't believe it exists IN
Georgia.
"It will propably end like my new
hickory nut insect ended this week. A
correspondent in Charleston reported
the appearance there of new insect
which he thought would eventually
put the hickory nut out of business.
I wrote him to hold his base while he
sent me up some specimens of these
terrible pests. I forwarded them to
Clemson and have just received a for,
NAL report from that institution to the
effect that our new insect was very
old and very common insect indeed

The MOsIem Girl.

When she is twelve or four teen the
Moslem girl comes to know she is beau
tiful, though she does not marry at the
early age of the Hindoo girl. She
counts the saris and Cholis and sighs
for fringes of pearls and modern dia-
mond earrings she sees the friends OF
her mother wear. In her rose colored
veil and gold spots is the prettiest
picture you ever saw. With gazelle
eyes and Asiatic grace she is full of ar
dor and naivete at the same time. She
runs like fawn at the approach of a
stranger, but when unobserved her
laughter rings through the house, and
the instructive coquetry of her smiles
shows that the purdah is necessity.
