24.-The governor of the new
state of New Mexico hasn't

Here last night Governor Will

The Contest Editors mail is heavy
these days Among the host of orders
for Answer Books, Proverb Books, and
back numbers Of the Proverb Pictures,
there are scores of inquiries about points
in the rules of the contest that are not
clear in the mind of those who read them.
We are glad to extend every possible
help, but there are so many OF these IN
quiries that it is impossible to do more than
group them and answer number of them
at one time Watch the columns of The
Georgian each day, therefore, if you have
written us for more light on any point.
Even though you may not see your query
treated individually you will surely find
the information you want Today we take
up three questions that have been asked
by MANY during the past few days;
o What is the meaning Of the word
"Panhandler" used in the lettering that
accompanies picture Number "a?
A. Slang term for Beggar.
o. Is it necessary to have three Answer
answersq
A. The Answer Book provides a means
of sending in three sets of answers in one
book. Three answer spaces are provided
on each page The contestant may use
one Of these spaces on each page for each
set of answers sent in.
@ How will you prevent the throwing
together Of all three sets of answers IN
making the awards if all three spaces in
the Answer Book is used?
A. Very easily The answer spaces are
numbered First Answer, Second An
swef." and Third Answer are the head
ngs that appear over these spaces. 1t
follows that the use of the First Answer
space under each picture completes the
first set of answers. And the same is
true Of the second and third answer
spaces Bear in mind that not more than
one Of these answer spaces may be used
in any page unless the same number are
used in all of the other pages
Inquiries are beginning to come IN re
garding the method Of wrapping tying

FLYNN GRITTY
IN 1907 FIGHT
WITH JOHNSON
BY W. w. Naughton.

Ii ON JACK Johnson IN when
Some reference is not made to
the terrible mauling that awaits
jim Flynn at Las Vegas on July 4.
rs Now, one might think that hav-
ing so much the better of the pros
pect from the ordinary methods of
doping out pugilistic results. Jack
could afford to be both chivalrous
and magnanimous and refrain from
the threatening language that ema-
mates from his training camp every
few days From the fact that ne
continues to shake his horny fist
at the fireman. Jack is laying him
self open to the suspicion that he is
not as consummately confident
about the July scrap as he pre-
tends to be
one thing is certain, however.
If Jack is bent upon intmidating
Flynn his efforts will fall fiat. for
Flynn is a fellow whose courage is
undaunted Pity it is that his
other fighting qualifications are
not on par with his grit II they
were, he would permit some Of us
to think more kindly of his
chances
; For veal or woe. jim will surely
battle like tiger when he goes
against the champion And even II
he succeeds no better than he did
when he faced the big colored man
in San Francisco in November,
1907, he will command the respect
OF the spectators. For a tribute

struggle in the face of the over

Flynn Ran Into Blows.
Just now the sports of the Pa
ciifc coast are refreshing their
menories in connection with that
last eleven round bout between
Johnson and Flynn They recall
that Flynn tried to fight close from
the frst smash Of the gong and
that even when tossed back by the
forct of Johnson's uppercuts he re-
turn,d to the charge again and
agaii He fought right into John
sons hands. in fact, All the big
negrt had to do was to SET himself
TO met Flynn's rush and the un-
fortunate fireman kept nurline
himsilf on the spears.
Friends Of Flynn outside the
topes-fool friends they surely were
-ke,t urging the fireman to leap
at Jhpson and Flynn did so un-

might forget that he was being
urgd TO jump at the lannon's
mouh, Johnson, with sneering
sarcasm, hept saying:

Finn took fearful whaling
that day and took it like a Spar

Eeed charcoaI to Hood.

Nearly every hog feeder practices burning the corn cobs, knowing that the hogs relish eating the charcoal from their doing so. A splendid way to dispose of the cobs and make an excellent quality of charcoal is to dig a hole in the ground about Eve feet deep.
 After the cobs are dry they can be placed in this hole, starting fire in the bottom as they are placed in the pit, and keep adding cobs, so that the flame is gradually drawn to the top until the pit is filled with cobs; then the pit should be covered with sheet iron cover, made so as to fit over the eLtire hole, and close up the cobs that are on fire.
 The edge of the lid should be sealed by throwing loose dirt over 1t. Cobs will burn this way into a fine quality of charcoal. and after standing about twelve hours may be uncovered and taken out.

eoethe's Birthday.

An amusing story. taken from Bodeh book on Goethe, appears in a Paris contemporary. In August, 1918, God the went to Carlsbad for the cure, anf placed himself under the care of DT. Rehbein. One morning when he rose he requested Charles, his domestic, tq place bottle of red wine and giasd in each. of the two windows in the room.
 Then the poet walked round and round the apartment, stopping at each window to drink a glass of wina When he had nearly emptted the bot. ties the doctor arrived. "Ah," said Goethe, you are come. Do you know 1t is my birthdayf' 'sNo." said the doctor, 'ft Is not your birthday. It falls tomorrow"
 Only the production of the almanac could convince Goethe that he was . day out in his reckoning. When he discovered his mistake he gave vent to strong expression which Scott puts in the mouth of Capt. Nanty Ewart. and. after long pause. turn Ing to the doctor, said: -Then I have got drunk for nothing"

MAKE WIGS OF SPUN GLASS
Natural HaIr Becoming Scarce, Deal era In Artificial Product Are
 Driven to EStremltles-

No one outside the artificial hair business knows the difficulty that merchants in hair-goods have experi- Snced in getting material of sufficient quality especially in braids-at any thing like the prices which most peo- pie are willing to pay. Many ooun- tries, indeed, place such restrictions on wig-makers, owing to hygienic req sons, that natural hair is becoming more and more rare.
 In certain parts of France the ex- pedient was resorted to of making wigs from certain. hbrinous plants; especially was this done with those which have served to furnish mate rial for rugs and blankets. By split ting the f1bers very fine and treating them chemically, it was possible to make artificial hair, but the labor in- Folved the asking of prices that were almost prohibitive. Moreover, complaints were made that-the substi- ute was not satisfactory. Horsehair was treated to a like process of di- vision and brightening, but the imita- ton, except for the very poor class of trade. signally failed. Now, thanks to series of experiments, it has been found possible to utilize spun crystal for the purpose, reducing 1t to any shade which may be desired and to any degree of f1nenes. Indeed. the resemblance to human hair is said to be all but absolute. The new product has the advantage, moreover, of weighing very little, and 'hair" made of glass presents an appearance of luster and Is. above all, thoroughly hygienic.-Harper's Weekly.

COST OF KEEPING GOOD COWS
Pertinent Question That No Two Writ CTS Seem to Agree on-viewpoInt
 Is Entirely Wrong.

This is always pertinent question, but unfortunately no two writers agree in their figures. MT. Robert Edkins of Westtown, Pa, who has dairy of no cows whose average yield of milk is $500 pounds figures the cost of keeping at $152.O2 per COW. Prof Fra ser of the Illinois college of agricul- ture places the cost at $91 per COW. Nearly all writers figure in a, lot of items that the average farmer pays no attention to. But it is very evi- dent that 1t is costing farmers consfd- erably more than they are aware of to keep their COWS and that is one reason why they do not find more mon- ey in their pocket at the end of the year.
 Right here steps in that everlasting question of keeping only good cows. Back of that question is the other of farmer showing enterprise and courage in his determination to improve his herd It is simply amazing to men of sense and disceFnment, why there are so many farmers who seem bewitched to stay by the poor COW. They are beating themselves yearly out of good profits, many suffering loss instead, and yet they will not buy good reg istered bull and go at the work reso- lutelE of raising cows that it will pay to Keep.
 The sticking point with them in many cases seems to be the price that a good bull costs. They are not at all concerned over what they are losing every year. They will pay $25O for a good farm horse and choke to suffoca- ton over paying $20O for bull that will earn every year twice what the horse will. They look at things from wrong viewpoint.

ROTATION OF GARDEN CROPS
Too Much of One Thing on the Same Spot Robs the Soil and Lowers
 Yield-can Be Prevented

Many gardens fail because the same crops are planted year after year. The soil will not prosper under this treat ment. Certain elements used by the plants grown become almost extinct This calls for expensive fertilizers to keep up the production, or the soil must be used for something else. This may be prevented by proper TO- tation of crops. gardeners at the Kan sas Agricultural college say.
 The land Is treated differently un- der rotation, the faults of one year being corrected by good management in another year. By this method no one element of plant food. is exhausted Rotation tends to even up the soil. One crop leaves the land in good phys ical condition for another. It gives it hLmus, which all crops must have. In some years green crops will be turned under. This gives the soil almost immediate available plant food, and larger supply of nitrogen
 The gardener should have a plan of rotation mapped out which will repeat every 9-11-13 or any other certain num- Der of years according to the extent of the field and the time desired. In doing this the same amount of all vege- tables may be grown one year with another. The one requirement of this plan would be to have the plots of ground the same size.
 As an example of rotation, potatoes may be followed by beans, peas, or cabbage. In general, one crop should be followed by another of different nature. It is not necessary to change the plots every year. Put one plot in sweet corn, say, for two years, fol- lowed by two years of peas. This should be followed by two years of potatoes. In this manner the weeds that become so obnoxious under same cultivation will be checked or de- stroyed

Chinese MaoIc.

''The use of cards is said to be derived from the Turot cards. which were originally employed for occult purposes remarks Professor H. Chat ley in discussion on Chinese natural philosophy and magic. The legend which ascribes the invention of cards to the purpose of amusing a mad king does not seem at all a sufficient ex- planation, and there is, in addition, the fact that cards of kind existed be- fore the said king Tn further sup port of this idea, the well-known prac- tice of telling fortunes by cards may probably be regarded as a survival of a regular form of divination by such means.
