ATLANTA WILL Co AFTER
POULTRY CONVENTION
New Organization to Affiliate
With American Poultry
Association

That the recently organized Southern
international Poultry association ex-
poets to affiliate with the American
Poultry association, and hold it's shows
under the rules and regulations gov
erning the latter body is the announce
ment made Saturday by one of the di-
rectors. Mr.. -Loring Brown.
Mr.. Brown, after comforting with T..
M. Poole, temporary secretary; 7. p.
Hunnicutt, president, and other mem
bers of the organizing board, decided
not only to affiliate with the American
association, but to make strong Dld
for Atlanta as the meeting place OF
that body in its 1912 session.
At the present time the southeast Is
the only section of the United states
where there is no big poultry associa-
ton affiliated with and operating un-
der the rules and regulations OF the
American association. The lack Of south
ern representation in the American as
ISOLATION has been keenly felt for
number of years by big southern poul-
trymen. and the announcement that this
will no longer be the case will be OF
interest to many breeders.
The American Poultry association is
by no means a show association, but
ent poultry show associations, and an or
ganization for the establishment or
standards for the different breeds, etc.
Formerly the American association
would hold a big show annually in con-
junction with the regular meeting OF
its members, but this practice was
abandoned some years ago. owing to
the fact that the business of the rs
ISOLATION was necessarily neglected
n
American Poultry association has not
vet been definitely determined, it Is
almost certain that its session will be
held in Denver For the past three
years the association has been meeting
| in Buffalo, and has not been in the
south for the past 20 years.
When the organization of the South
ern international Poultry association
has been further perfected, Mr.. Brown
or some other director will head com
mittee to go to Denver and invite the
American association to hold its next
meeting here. In event this conven'
ton is secured, it will bring probably
900 Of the best known poultrymen IN
the world to this city.
Mr.. Brown, Secretary Poole and 9th
ers interested in the organization OF
the Southern International Poultry as
ISOLATION declare that messages II ON
lpoultryrnen all over the south continue
to come in boosting the new organiza-
tion and promising their cooperation IT
making it a success.
The announcement of the date of the
first big show, where all the winning
birds from the south's many small poul-
try exhibitions can compete will prob
ably be made following the meeting Of
the board of directors On next Thurs
day afternoon.

the auger hole like II would through 2
flue. AS soon as the fire is started a
draft is created through the auger hole
and this helps to fire the stump much
more rapidly. This method requires no
great equipment and will be found eff
fective though 1t takes time. If one is
so situated that he desires to clear
considerable area of stumps the use Of
the stump puller would be the more
economical method although II may re-
quire considerable expenditure for the
purchase or rental of the stump puller
and the necessary teams and men. or
course, dynamite Will do the work more
quickly, but this is. a very dangerous
substance and should be used only by an
expert.

STOP TIE ANNOYANCE WITH AUTO
MOBILES

Dear Mrs. FELTON,: I have just read
Country Woman's letter, asking you to
help country people. I, too, am like her.
think we need help from somewhere,
for it is as she says-either stay at
home or walk or have your life in dan
ger. !, too, am a country woman and
know how my heart aches when 1 start
my children off to school. We live three
miles in the country and have to send
them to town to school. While they
have a good. gentle pony to drive and
not bit afraid of an auto, there are so
many reckless drivers There are chill
dren here 13 ana IA years old that are
allowed to go out when and where they
please, and there is no limit to their
speed. have sen them so as fast or
faster than a train.
My husband and friend of his went to
town a few evenings ago and came very
near being run over twice by the same
machine, which just missed the buggy
about an inch when they passed, going
at the rate of 80 miles an hour, and
before he reached home met it, and this
time they seemed to take aim, and would
have struck the buggy had he not warn
ed them off, and too, he had given
them all the road he could and he asked
them as they passed why they did not
stay on their own side of the road, and
this is their reply: by -, the road
belongs to US"
Now, / don't quite agree with the
young man, because each one has to pay
the same amount in road tax. and 1
think one has as mucsh right as another
to the road. But 1 don't have the least
doubt but what he felt like 1t did be-
long to him. But I will not censure all
who have automobiles, for there are
some who are Just as nice as can be,
but while they are, It don't keep the
horses from being frightened and people
always in a dread, and / think, like you,
if there is not something done to check
this risk and rashness the women of
Georgia will have to appeal to the legis-
lature, and don't believe there would
be more than one woman out of every
ten in Georgia that would not be willing
to send in a petition to that effect If
they only knew how and when to send 1t
in. OF course, / mean the country wom-
en- If they could only be stopped on
Sundays we who live in the country
could go to church and enjoy the preach
ing, but as 1t is we have no day. You
hear good roads, you read good roads.
and don't we all have to pay to help
build these good roads? But what pleas
ure do we get out OF them? Very little,
must say. Let's hear what our other
country sisters have to say in regard to
autos. With best wishes for you and
may you live long to let your light still
shine. MRS. L. s.

most truly beautiful thing in all the
world.
When our sons and daughters near
the goal of maturity their attachments
become hazardous. because the risk is
SO great. With this maturity there is a
spice of excitement. When a youth that
she has judged favorably comes along
and offers her some polite attention she
not only finds her attachment Iindle
but she understands her powers.
The romance of such attachment often
strikes deep roots in these youthful be-
ings, even when the blossoms are only
ephemeral wise writer says no man
can be a worthy man until he has been
in love a half dozen times when he was
a boy. We generally laugh at the calf
love of the boy, but there is something
born within him that makes his nature
gentle. A sentimental boy is apt to
make a home lover-for he has been
thinking about his sweetheart a long
time, though he may have claimed a
half dozen as his best girls all the
time.
The temptation to firt is very strong
with a pretty girl who has a number
of admirers, but it is generally Miss
Plain Face, who catches the worthy bird
because she has not so many to bother
about, and fixes her mind and her af-
fections more profitably. But it too often
happens that the pretty girl gets tangled
and sometimes dissatisfied, and ends by
making a hasty and ill-assorted match.
Maybe she is flattered into believing she
will be petted all her life, and is after
wards mistaken and finds only welded
misery
Careful parents are very often distress
ed to find their daughters impetuous,
hasty, firtatious and unwise. Be careful,
girls Matrimony is lifetime business,
and very risky!

An easy way to remove stumps, where
time is not an object, is to dig a trench
beside the stump and then to bore a
diagonal hole through the stump so that
the lower end of the hole will be near
the top of the trench and the upper end
some distance above the ground. Build
a fire in the trench and partially cover
it so that the flame will draw through
