New Game Law.

Are you a hunter? If so. pre-
pare yourself for financial jar!
Before you can fire a gun this
season you will have to call on
the sheriff and tax collector and
hand over a dollar for a hunting
license.
Should you wish to take the
chances of hunting without one
and are caught, the fine will not
add much to your peace or mInu.
The following is the gist of
the law:
In the first place, every hunt
er must take out a license, for
which he will pay 81 per season.
No hunting between sunset
and sunrise is allowed, and the
bag is limited to twenty-five.
Doves may be killed from
Sept. 1 to March /; geese, ducks
rails, cOots and plover, from Oct.
1 to March /: wild turkey cocks
from Nov. 1 to April |; quail
(bobwhite), from Nov. to
March 1; snipe, chorooks and
popabotte, from Sept. to May
Is; blue-winged teal ducks, from
Oct. 1 to April 1.
'The most important feature of
the whole bill is the prohibition
of the sale of all game between
March | and the opening dates
of the fall seasons of any year.
This will do wonders to increase
the stock of game. -P0inte COu-

The Man Behind The Pl0w.

There's been lot to say about the
man behind the gun,
And folks have praised him highly for
the noble work he done:
He won a lot of honor for the land
where men are free
1t was him that sent the Spaniards
kitin' back across the sea.
But he's had his day of glory, had his
little spree, and now
There's another to be mentioned he's
the man behind the pillow.
A battleShip's wonder and an army's
mighty grand,
And warrin's profession only he
roes understand:
There's something sort O. thrillin' in
flag that's wavin' high,
And it makes you want to holler when
the boys go marchin' by;
But when the shoutin's over and the
tightin's done somehow
We find we're still dependin' on the
man behind the pillow.
They sing about the glories of the man
behind the gun,
And the books are full of stories of
the wonders he has done;
The world has been made over by the
fearless ones who fight;
Lands that used to be in darkness they
have opened to the light;
When Gods children snarl, tile soldier
has to settle up the row,
And folks haven't time for thinkin' of
the man behind the pillow.
In all the pomp and splendor of an
army on parade,
And through all the awful darkness
that the smoke of battles made:
In the halls where jewels glitter and
where shoutin' men debate;
In the palaces where rulers deal out
honors to the great,
There is not single person who'd be
dom bizness now
Or have medals If it wasn't for the
man behind the pillow.
We're. a buildin' mighty cities and
we're gainin' lofty heights;
We're a-winnin' lots of glory and
we're settin' things to rights;
We're a-showin' all creation how the
worlds affairs should run;
Future men'll gaze in wonder at the
things that we have done,
And they'll overlook the Teller, just
the same as we do now,
Who's the whole concerns foundation
that's the man behind the pillow.

The Dollar in Action.

or debt paying capacity measured
by one hundred cents. AS a
matter of fact it is difficult to
estimate the power of the dollar
as respects it's capacity to pur-
chase or to pay debts. A COM
mon illustration is that A buys a
dollars worth of goods from B,
b takes the same dollar and pays
a debt which he owes to G, and
the process is kept up until the
dollar wears out, is lost, or is
hidden away in somebody's old
stocking.
One dollar kept in constant
circulation is worth more than a
million dollars boarded away by
the miser, hence the Importance
OF the dollar in action can scarce
ly be given too much attention.
This leads us to suggest that at
this particular time there is ur-
gent need for all our dollars to
get busy, and with that done we
shall hear less about hard times.
Hoarded money does nobody any
good and is besides a. curse to
the hOarder.
Akin to this question is that of
keeping. A dollar kept constant
ly in circulation at home will pay
many bills and do much good to
the community; but a dollar sent
away from home closes it's mis-.
sion entirely and goes on to en-
rich the section to which it may
be sent. We of the South have
paid too little attention to this
great economic truth, as a result
we have, for years, been impov.
erishing ourselves and enriching
the East and West by spending
our money there for things that
we could just as we'll get at home.
When we send a dollar so far
away it's usefulness is lost to US
almost as permanently as though
we had thrown it into the sea.
True we get value received for
it, but that value is soon con-
sumed and the dollar is lost to
the community.
We do not, of course, under
value the Importance of recipro-
cal relationship in the matter of
commerce between the sections.
That is the true way to promote
uniform and widely diffused
prosperity; but the reciprocity
that does not reciprocate is the
kind that has kept the nose of
the South, figuratiyely speaking,
at the grindstone during the
past sixty years. The way to
break away from the bad results
we've realized is to reverse the
policy we have been pursuing.
Let us learn to keep our money
at home, and put it to work for
our own benefit instead of send
ing it away to enrich others.
Therefore it ought to be a mat
ter of public duty to seek to give
our patronage, as far as practical
able, to our own home products.
In no more effective way can we
encourage home industry and
make home enterprises success
full that are already among us.
One successful home enterprise
will give courage to others who
may have the capital to invest,
and when once it becomes an
established fact that our people
prefer to patrOnize home reo-
pie, to buy home made products
and to invest their money in
local development OF all char
acter and descriptions, our
prosperity will rest upon g GER
tain and permanent basis.

"aNs Dream a Humorous Feature nj

BLINDS THE HORSE. the machine
coming, let him hear 1t, let it pass him
slowly at the other side of the road
the effect is likely to be the same. He
shies, he reaPs, breaks his harness and
throws the occupants, the carriage
and himself into the ditch. The horse
cannot see in front of him-only to the
right or left. A California man thinks
the safest plan is to let him see moth
ing at all. He suggests enclosing the
eyes In the novel bride blind shown
here, which he recently patented. A
pair Of blinds are attached to the bri-
die. Normally these blinds remain
open. When the driver sees an ap-
preaching automobile he pulls on a
strap which extends to the drivers
seat and the blinds are folded over the
horses eyes, completely obscuring his
vision. The danger of the horse be-
coming frightened and running away
is thus reduced to a minimum and the
occupants assured of safety.

A Horse,. Toennil..

Few persons realize that horses
hoof is really the same thing as the toe
nails Of human beings or of animals
having toes. The horn of hoof grows
just as toenail does.
The hoof grows more rapidly in un
shod horses than in those wearing
shoes, and it grows faster In horses
which are well groomed and well fed.
But on an average, says the New York
Spn, the horn grows about third OF
an inch a month.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
boots. The toe of the hoof being the
longest part, it takes longer for the horn
to grow down there than at the heel.
For instance, the toe will grow entire
ly down In from eleven to thirteen
months, while the heel will grow down
In from three to five months.
As the new horn grows out any
cracks or defects In the old gradually
work down to where they can be cut
off Just as with human finger nails you
can watch the progress of a bruise
from the root to the tip.
