ing to Mr.. r. E. Allison. Improve
ment of the schedule in return for the

for Americas, rather than delaying the

suggested. 1t will certainly hurt traIe

suits for local trade if the schedules

matter. shoppers would have to wait

profitable trade would be ruined. 1t is
but the logical thing to do to let the

pose the change which certain inter-
cts in Savannah want. The train in
question covers it's territory complete
ly. We can't afford to have the sched-
ules changed, for the local trains over
the Seaboard mean big trade for
Americus."
"The Savannah public organizations
and the railroad commissioners of the
state should be notified in no doubtful
manner that Americas is entirely OBJ
posed to the change in the Seaboard
schedules" commented Mayor Mathis
in rference to the proposed change
THE people of Americas should see
that the rights of the city in this par
ticular are protected fully and vigoH-
ously. Our interests are at stake and
it is an injustice to sacrifice them for
a change that will work unreasonable
harm"
IF the people Of Savannah want q
train to leave Savannah on the sched-
ule mentioned, they should ask
the Seaboard to put on special train
for them" was the way Mr.. G. A.
Fricker summed up the situation. "The
trains whose schedule it is sought to
change are purely local trains, pecul-
iaTly adapted to fill the needs of the
territory traversed. There is certain
ly no logical need to change this scheJ-
ule, when only the interests of Savan-
nah and that part of the road from
Savannah to Helena are affected. The
people of Americas should unitedly op-
pose the change"
q oppose any change in the Sea-
board schedules" said Mr.. Lee Allen
in speaking Of the matter. 1T was a
great deal of trouble for us to get the
local trains that have proven so salts
factory for the city, and any change
in the schedule would certainly so
harm to the merchants and other BUS
mess men"
1T is to be taken for granted that
every business man in the city is OPP
posed to the change in the Seaboard
schedules" said Mr. Dave Andrews.
The reason is readily to be seen, be-
cause we get splendid business from
the people who live along the route
that is under discussion. The local
Seaboard trains are the best feeders
We have for local trade. By all means
let them stay as they are, unless a
still better schedule is to be granted.

HOW THEY MEASURE TIME
Strange Methods Employed by Various
Indian Tribes In Keeping
the Time.

To ascertain the time at night the
Apache Indians employed a gourd
on which the stars of the heavens
were marked. AS the consultations
rose in the sky the Indian referred
TO his gourd and found out the hour.
BY turning the gourd around he
could tell the order in which the
consultations might be expected to
appear.
The hill people of Assam reckon
time and distance by the number of
guilds of betel nut chewed. 1t will
be remembered how, according to
Washington Irving, the Dutch colo
nial assembly was invariably dis
missed at the last puff Of the third
pipe Of tobacco of Governor Wouter
Van Twiller.
A Montagnis Indian of Canada

The great advantage of this

Attend TO II Now.

Prof. ii. A. Surface, State Zoo
logist, Harrisburg, calls attention
to the Importance promptly de-
stroying the remnants of garden
plants and truck crops at this
time of year, rather than leaving
them 10 the gardens or fields un-
til spring. If destroyed now,
many of their pests are destroy
ed with them; if allowed to re-
main until spring, many OF these
pests have opportunity to escape.
The vines of potatoes, cucum-
bers, squash, melons, ETC., should
be raked together and thrown on
dry straw or brush and burned.
This gets rid of both the insect
and fungous diseases lurking
therein. The old asparagus
plants should be cut off and bur
ned, and straw spread over the
asparagus bed aud burned there
on at once, to get rid of the as
paragus beetles, and then the
soil containing the asparagus
roots eau be we'll mulched with
a cover or litter of any kind
to protect them during the WIN
ter.
1t is especially important that
the stalks of cabbage plants and
the imperfect beads should be
removed and fed to swine or cat
tie, or kept in storage in a
cold place to feed to poultry dur
iug the winther. Even the old
stalks from which heads have
been cut should oe removed from
the soil and treated as directed,
above, or burned. Several kinds
of pests are liable to be found
upon these old stubs thereto.
The best way to destroy them is
TO feed them to livestock or burn
them.

THE AMERICAN FAMILY.

The American people, almost in
stinctively, have turned away from
the old domestic policy. A large fam
lily implies a home in the old-fash-
ioned sense, but the urban life Of
America necessitates a departure
from the home as thus defined. The
cramped apartment, with those min
istering angels, the kitchenette, the
baker, the laundryman and delicates-
sen shop, are not adapted to
numerous children. Children often
are not wanted. In fact, a
man with a large family
finds it difficult even to se-
cure living accommodations in many
cities. Thus, in great numbers OF
communities, the social order has
passed beyond the conviction that
the large family is normal and nee
essary condition, and has adapted
itself to a scale of living based on
small families, or on none at ALL

INCREASED TEA CONSUMPTION.

Fourth place among the tea-ex-
porting countries of the world is
taken by Java, which follows closely
after Japan. British India with
Ceylon is first and China second.
Java is rapidly gaining on Japan,
for the cultivation of tea is increas-
ing steadily and the product is gain
ing in quality. Java tea can now be
kept for upward of two years and
even improves in flavor by the keep
ing. This has been found out already
in Australia.
