Once an actor thought he had an easy
proposition when he began his first re-
hearsal in a new play by David Belasco
He knew that Mr.. Belasco was somewhere
in the dim vastness of an unlighted theater
but the rehearsal progressed and the min
utes passed without sound save his own
voice and the voices of the other actors.
The play was THE Lily the powerful
drama Mr.. Belasco adapted from the
French.
He must have gone to sleep or perhaps
we are all doing so well that he thinks 1t
useless to interrupt u.s." said the actor to
himself. And then the next moment he
realized his mistake.
Wait a minute" came across the foot
lights in a mild. but positive tone. Just
say those few lines again"
The few lines were said again, with a
little more emphasis.
No, that isn't right, say them this way"
came from Mr.. Belasco, stnl gently. Where
upon he himself gave the speech OF barely
dozen words with an infection that every.
body in the theater recognized as exactly
! right.
Again the actor who thought that David
Belasco was an easy proposition strug-
gled with the lines.
mo, no, no, cant you say them the way
say them" and he repeated the speech
After the fourth or fifth attempt the
actor acknowledged his defeat.
No, l can't, MT Belasco. Your way is
the perfect way. but / am anything but
a perfeetiactor II l were ia not be here

Gan right" was the reply, do the best
you can and from that time on Mr.

High TRIBUTE PAID
TO AMERICUS RECTOR
Rev. Lawrence HOnOFGd By
Convention

At the recent Diocesan Convention
held in Thomasville.g Rev.. ]. B. Law
renee, rector of Calvary church, was
the recipient of an unusual honor in
that he was rendered by the members
of the convention a resolution of
thanks for his splendid efforts in be-
half of the mission work which the
church is conducting.
The unusual nature of the high
compliment paid Mr.. Lawrence for his
diligence, faithfulness and effective
ness is seen when it is known that
this is the first resolution of thanks
ever voted by the convention to the
rector of a parish in the diocese. The
resolution was offered and passed by
unanimous vote after the treasurer OF
the convention had paid high tribuIe
to the work of Mr.. Lawrence in stimH-
lating the mission work of the conven-
ton through the agency of the paper
published by the convention for that
purpose and named Missions in Geor-
gia," of which Mr.. Lawrence is editor.
The members of the Calvary church
delegation are proud of the record
made by their pastor in this field u
state work, as they are of the excel.
lent and effective work which he hat
done for the local church.
The local delegation was generously
committeeman. Mr.. Frank Harold
was appointed member of the FL
nance committee and elected a men,
Der of the Committee ON Diocesan Mis-
sions. Captain John A. Cobb was APP
pointed a member of the Committee Oh
Constitution and Canons. Mr.. Clar-
ence J. White was named on the Com
mittee ON the University of the South
and elected delegate to the Missionary
Council. Mr.. Thomas Harold was
elected delegate to the Missionary
Council.
All the delegates from the local
church returned home with highest
praise for the hospitality of the peO-
pie of Thomasville, who gave them
cordial welcome and treatment during
their stay.

New Haven, Conn., was troubled

for a long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that | was discouraged. | was
persuaded by my friends to try Vinol.
| must say that L had little confidence
but | made up my mind to give it a
fair trial. Before | finished my first
bottle of Vinol | commenced to notice
an improvement in my general condi-
ton. After taking the second bot
tie, my cough left me, and l must
say Il never felt better in my life
all due to the use of Vinol. l can also
recommend Vinol to anyone in run
down condition as the best possible
remedy" Name furnished ON re-
quest)
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements Of the Gods livers
aided by the blood-making ahd
strength-creating properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol so efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and bron-
chitis-at the same time building up
the weakened, rundown system.
Vinol contains no oil and tastes good

instances getting away with all the

HOW BEST TO INCREASE
AVERAGE COTTON YIELD
Recommended By the Late
DR.. Knapp

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE manage
ment of the Southern Railway Com,
pany, while approaching the import
ance of diversified farming and live
stock raising to the agricultural de-
velopment of the Southeastern states,
is convinced that it is to the interest
Of the entire section that the prOduc-
ton of cotton-sheuld not only be mains
tanned, but increased. The demand of
the world calls for large supply OF
cotton from year to year. 1t is Presi-
dent Finley's opinion that if the grow
ing of this commodity in Africa and
other parts of the world is not to be
stimulated the South must increase its
production. Results that have been
obtained by individual farmers dem
: onstrate that this can be done by Sc
curing a larger yield per acre, and
that at the same time, ample areas If
land can be devoted to the growing OF
other crops and to live stock raising.
Only a few weeks before his death

to increase the average yield of cotton

recommendations printed on heavy
cardboard and has had copies posted
in it's stations, in country stores and
at other places where they can be
read by large numbers of cotton grow
ers.
DIR. Knapp's advice is as follows:
1. Prepare deep and thoroughly
pulverized seed bed, we'll drained.
Break in the fall, to a depth of 8, 20
or IL inches, according to the soil.
Use the implements that will not bring
too much of the sub-soil to the sur
face. (The foregoing depth should be
reached gradually if the field is broken
by an ordinary turning pillow. If the
disc pillow is used, it is safe to break
/ to the above depth at once)
2. Practice diversification with crop
rotation. Grow winter cover crops
whenever practicable If no cover
crops is used, shallow winter cultiva-
ton should be practiced.
8. Use seed of the vest variety, in
diligently selected and carefully stor-
ed. Early maturing varieties are gen.
orally preferable, especially in boil
tweeyil territory Where the weeyil il
not present they have the advantage
lof decreasing the danger of loss by
i. early frosts in the fall.
4. Delay the planting until the sol
and temperature are warm enough u
make it safe.
/ & Use intensive shallow cultiva
ton.
G. Use section harrow before ant
; after planting, and on the young cot
ton.
