CANDIDATES MONEY WASTED.

One of the interesting disclosures
in the first tryout of the new corrupt
practices act was the extent to which
candidates had been wasting money
on carriages and automobiles It
was generally accepted, before the
present law became effective. that the
candidate who would win q city or
county Office must hire all the ye-
hicles he could afford, and often many
that he could not afford. He had
been pursuaded that his constituents
would not go to the polls unless thew
could have ride. And he seems 10
have had the notion that ride in one
Of his cabs or automobiles would IN,
1uence passengers in some mysterious
way to favor his candidacy. The
result was that on election DAYS ali
available conveyances were secured
by the candidates and kept on the 60
while the polls remained open.
The corrupt practices act prohibit
ed such effort at getting out the
vote" There were on the streets

the banners advising the citizen how
to vote. The voter was LETT to his
own fate> The manner in which he
accepted the responsibility shows
that there never was any necessity
for worrying about MS not casting hta
ballot. He does not need any one
to drag him to the polls nor to tall

WOMEN ON THE FARM.

The problem of getting men tor
farm work is not more perplexing
than is that Of getting help for the
farmers wife, according to a report
to the secretary OF griculture made by
the chief of the division Of produc.
ton and distribution. He says "the
women OF the farmers family are
neither able nor willing to repeat the
manual labor performances of their
grandmothers on the farm" The fact
that they seem to be expected tn do
so and that they are, expected to DO
so by many, should shed food Of
l,gh on the trend toward the city.
One great drawback in the way of
getting people back TO the land, or
those who are on the land to stay
there, is the fact that so little prog.
ress has been made toward rendering
farm life attractive to the farmers
wife and daughters.
The women of a farmers family
should not be expected to duplicate
the manual labor performances of
their grandmothers on the farm. The
farmer does not get out with
scythe or cradle in harvest time. He
does not WELD fail in threshing
season. He does not plant his corn
by hand. He does not do any Of the
hundreds of tedious and laborious
tasks that were the lot Of his grand.
father. If he did he never would be
able to cultivate the areas he now
handles. He has been making steady |!
progress toward easier and more e.
icient methods, while little has been |

awful, the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him ito
keep himl from scratching the soro.
His suffering was dreadful. At last we
remembered Cuticura Remedies. We
got a dollar bottle Of Cuticura Resell
vent, box of Cuticura Ointment, and
bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave the
Resolvent as directed, washed the head
with the Cuticura Soap, and applied
the Cuticura Ointment. We had not
used half before the child's head was

To Draw for Pensions.

Atlanta, Jan. 24.-When it became
known yesterday that there was pen
sion money enough to pay sixty Geor-
gia counties Immediately, and no
more, Governor Slaton decided, after
conference with Pension Commission
er Lindsey and Captain Tip Harrf-
son, to hold an old fashioned lottery
to see which counties would be the
lucky ones.
So the names of all the Georgia
counties were shuff1ed up together in
a hat, and then sixty were drawn
out. The pension money to be paid
these sixty counties will amount to
$548,916. 1t is believed that all the
counties will be paid before February
10.
