ATLANTA TO ERECT STATUE

Handsome Shaft to Dead President OF

Atlanta, Jan. 31-Preparations are

Southern Railway, who was killed in
a wreck in Virginia more than three

The excavations and other prep

office boy up to president, contributed

WOMEN TO BLAME FOR
THE COST OF LIVING
Archbishop Ireland PITTS
High Prices on Them.

st. Paul. Mimi, Jan. 31.-Arch-
bishop John Ireland issued a state
ment on the high price of meat and
the boycott in which he roundly
scored. "The dreadful waste and xe-
travagance resulting from American
women's ignorance of housekeeping,
and especially the almost totally neg
lected art of cooking" and declared
that social and economic revolu-
luton would in a short time be
wrought out in America" if young
women were thoroughly taught on
both those subjects.
THAT the price of meat" he says,
as a result of the agitation and boy
colt will for some time fuctuate, to-
day downward, tomorrow upward, we
may readily admit; but that meat will
fall back perm9nn Z -2yl the low
prices of former years l am not dis
posed to believe"
The Archbishop also discusses
changed conditions in the production
of meat in America, the passing of the
big ranches and the increase in the
cost of feeding on the small farms, and
says that ''the Grief cause of the rise
in prices lies with the producer, the
farmer" "As his sympathies go out
to the farmer very warmly the Arch
bishop adds, ''he is not over sorry for
the conditions we are witnessing He
declares that the salvation of Amer
lea, social, moral, political and eco
nomic, is the farm, and says the eff
forts of philanthropists and we'll wish
ers of their fellow men should all
tend to encourage agriculture.
I'VE eat too much meat" Archbish-
op Ireland declares, and strength
would be better served if we would
turn to other articles of food that are
much cheaper. Certain housewives, .
he says, "whose deposits in the saw
ings banks are fthe lightest kind,
if deposits at all they have, would
when marketing be ashamed to call
for any meat that would not demand
high price, and then in the matter
of living among rich and poor there
is dreadful waste and extravaganza
resulting from ignorance of house
keeping, and especially the almost to-
tally neglected art of cooking.
Americans do not know how to
save in cooking, and what they do
cook they don't know how to prepare
in manner to make it palatabIe and
healthgiving"

ACREAGE IN COTTONIN
SUMTER is The SAME
Farmers to Plant Little If
Any More.

Many farm wagons came to Ameri-
Gus yesterday to haul out fertilizer
for the next cotton crop, as recent
rains made other farm work impossi-
BILE. Sales of guano here are quite
as large as in any previous season,
undertaking the planting of a full cot
ton crop
But the farmers here, it is believed,
will plant no greater acreage in cot
ton than last year, despite the temp
tation to do so as the result of high
priced cotton.
The acreage in cotton will evident
ly be large, as shown from the stand
ing made by the fertilizer manufac-
turers to date, and the exceedingly
broghe prospects for heavier ship
ments this season.
The prices that have been paid by
the farmers for their fertilizer have
been better this season and the de-
mand is muchh more pronounced. The
indications for this season show that
-''-.''' an increase in acreage
.--ec tender to make the cotton yield
much greater.
The Central railway and the Sea
board Air Line railway report that
they have handled more tons of man
ufactured fertilizers this year than
last.
All of the railroads report a largely
increased tonnage of katnit, nitrates
compared with the same period Of
last year. All the roads report that
it is their understanding that the ton
age will be much ahead of what it was
last year when the season is finally
terminated.
The movement when it does start in
force is bound under the circum-
stances to tax the physical equipment
OF the railways to the limit.

CHASING THE ELUSIVE COMET

Many Here Have Caught Glimpse
of Monster.

few minutes only just above Magno-

The excitement caused by the new
comet is pronounced in some quarters,
but astronomers who watch the heav-
ems closely have known all about the
newcomer for some time.
1t is very near the sun and for that
reason it is hard to distinguish. 1t
can only be seen about sundown when
the suns rays are dying out. Just
as soon as it rushes by the sun and
begins to recede the comet ought to
leave a brilliant track and take on a
fiery tail.
If this is true we shall have some
spectacular sights in teh west in the
spring twilight.

FINDS OUR CULTURE
IN WOMEN'S HANDS
Men Do Nothing But Make
the Dollars.

New York, Jan. 31.-Prof. Hugo
Munsterberg, of Harvard, has poor
opinion of the culture of the aver
American man. He told the ms. RS
of the Boost Club of New York that
the women of this country practically
controlled the culture here; that the
men were too busy making dollars to
pay much attention to it, and that
they also make a grave mistake in
failing to realize their vocations.
Your joyful, optimistic and boost
ing attitude is hardly commendable if
it means only flabby lazy opti-
mism," he said. at is hardly com
mendable unless it means that it real
ly cares whether the other fellow IS
doing his best. The average business
man is too little interested in any,
thing outside of his business, and
there is great room here in this coun-
try for spreading the spirit of op-
timism in its best and truest sense.
The women of this country con-
troll the culture, unfortunately. The
higher ideals are in the care of the
women here. The higher culture has
been left by the busy business man
to the women. This is unfortunate
indeed. | do not mean by that that
anything should be taken from the
women, but that the men, the bust
ness men, should bear their share of
the culture, too. When the business
man here finishes his days work he
thinks he cannot enjoy himself unless
he goes to a comic opera Even in his
vocation he takes a wrong attitude
He takes too selfish an interest in
himself and his business.
''The haphazard manner in which
men drift into their vocations is large
ly responsible for this. Each life
should be adjusted to a more ideal
view toward vocation. Every voca-
ton should be looked on in a more
ideal way. Take, for instance, the
school teacher who looks upon her
vocation as hardship and a drudge.
1t should be looked upon in a far
different way-as an ideal vocation
The business man who simply sees
IN his vocation means of getting the
better of his fellow man destroys his
power to get satisfaction from any
thing, and until he begins to idealize
his vocation he will remain in that
condition. We must fill our lives with
idealism. Our children often go 10
school never to learn that to do ones
duty one must idealize ones life

MILLS IN AMERICUS AT
HEIGTiT OF SEASON
Plants Here Rushed With
Orders.

Americus fertilizer plants-and
there are five large ones here-are at
the height Of a very busy season Just
now and all are rushed with orders
for cottonseed meal or commercial
fertilizers. For the demand this
year is going to be considerable
even though the acreage planted in
cotton is not increased to great ex-
tent
Many farm wagons loaded with
cotton seed were upon the streets
here yesterday, the seed being ex-
changed for cotton seed meal at the
mills.
This meal is very extensively used
as a fertilizer for both corn and cot
ton, and with fine results.
Predictions at Col Tom Hudson's
department of agriculture indicate a
consumption of about 100000 tons Of
commercial fertilizers during the cur
rent season, which is somewhere
round about what Georgia used last
year.
This means an expenditure of ap-
proximately $16,00,00O by Georgia's s
planters alone for fertilizers.
Year by year planters who have
learned a thing or two, are putting
more OF it under corn and other pro-
ducts and proportionately less under
cotton. In other words, they are Ii
yersifying the crops and a large per-
centage of the annual consumption of
fertilizers is going under other crops
than cotton
There are about 100000 acres of
ground in Georgia under cultivation
for all products.
