off all the prizes, and won the hon
orS that caused the people all over
the State to look to Cobb as the
banner county. This was done by
cooperation among the farmers.
Why can't we do the same thing
now? We owe great deal to Hon.
J, Gid Morris for his untiring work
in keeping Cobb county to the front
at our State fairs. He is to be
commended for it. But wouldn't
it be far better for this first prize
to be won by the united effort Of
a large number of farmers clubs
scattered all over the county?
Wouldn't it result in much more
good to the whole people? l am
sure Mr.. Morris would be glad to
see this done, and would heartily
approve it.
Ten of the best farmers of each
militia district in the county ought
to get together during this month
and organize and name their club,
and have meeting every month at
some members farm. You don't
have to be an orator to speak at
such meetings and give your ideas.
1t will be day we'll spent, and you
would doubtless go away from the
meeting with a better feeling for
your neighbor, a higher respect for
your occupation, and a better idea
as to the best methods of conduct
ing you business.
Then when all these clubs are Or
gained and in good working or
der, let us all come together at least
once a year in some central place
OF our county and have a real, en-
Farmers Institute. and
have lectures delivered on various
departments of our work. Let's
seek for the best things to plant, the
best ways to cultivate, the best ways
to gather and save.
Don't ask man to join with you
III your clubs unless you are salts
fed he is in earnest and wants to
improve and wants to do what he
can to help his neighbor to better
his condition in life. There is not
another county in our great state
richer in its resources than Cobb. |
We have variety of soils, we have
the best free-stone water to be
found, we can make any kind of
grain that is grown, we can grow
fruits to perfection, we could cover
our hilltops and valleys with Ber-
nuda and raise the finest of cattle, |
sheep, hogs and colts; we can raise
as fine thoroughbred poultry as any
county. We have the material. All /
we need is to learn how to use and
develop it. This cali be done by CO.
operation which will result in edu-
cation, and the farmer needs it in !
his business as much as others need
1t in theirs. So, if you want to help /
build tip Cobb county organize
these clubs and come closer together
and when we get together let's STAY
together. Respectfully,
JOHN p. CHENEY.

dismissed the cases against G. D. and
O. c. Shadford."
He fails to enlighten the public as
to who made the repeated requests.
He leaves this entirely unexplained.
Without it the public would naturally
conclude the requests were made by

government that to every ton OF coal
consumed there is one-half Of a ton

There is a great amount of coal not
used at present because 1t is dirty
This will soon be put through wash
| ing process and burned. Slack or
steam coal will be compressed into
blocks and sold for heating.
Prof Kay further declares that wa
ter transportation on the rivers OF the
country Is going to take the place OF
rail transportation to a great extent
In coming years. There are many
other smaller methods whereby coal
production is going to be corralled.
Iowa In the Coal World.
After giving facts on the coal con-
ditions in the world and in the United
States. Prof. Kay brought his lecture
down to Iowa. This state ranks nlnth
In the United States in coal produc-
ton. placing 100000 tons on the
market in 1910. Between l6'ooo ana
1900 men were employed in Iowa
during the same year for the mining
of the product.
According to the best estimates OBJ
tainable, Prof. Kay declares that tnere
are $4,000 square miles OF coal lanos
in Iowa. Iowa need not worry Ior
there is enough coal here to last 20
600 years according to the present
rate of production.
The Governments Business.
Prof. Kay also took up another
very interesting phase OF the coal IN
dustry in the United States. namely,
the improved and business-like meth
DDS of the government in disposing OF
it's coal lands Under the new sys-
tenn. the lands are classified and
price placed on each forty acres. Some
of these coal lands with rich sup
ply are priced at $3.50 an acre and the
government refuses to sell them at any
less. Other lands are worth but $lO
an acre. Under the old method OF
sale. $40 was the top price for gov
eminent coal lands. Within the last
four years by this classification sys-
tenn, the government has increased It's
revenue from it's coal lands over $780,
00O,O And but very small part
of the fields have been classified.
II there is not a revolution In Pitts
burg within the next few years, that
great traffic center is doomed to de-
struction In less than 100 years, says
Prof. Kay. The tonnage handled an
nually at Pittsburg is greater than that
of the combined cities of New York,
London, Liverpool and Hamburg. The
resources Of this city and vicinity will
soon be worked out with this enor-
nous business, according to the lee
turer.

A BEAL IN BOTTLES

Monday evening about dusk
four boys were, playing in
yard. They noticed man come
down the alley and put some
thing which he carried in a sack
into dynamite box which stood
in the alley. After the man had
gone the boys Investigated and
found twelve bottles of beer.
Their commercial instinct was
aroused and they saw an oppor-
tunity to make little easy money
selling the bottles, so they en-
ptied out the beer and hid the
bottles. "A few minutes later four
Indians approached the dynamite
box and causiously opened the
lid. Their Disappointment and
bewilderment was evident when
they found nothing in the box
that would help drown that thirst
1t was a nice plant alright. The
bootlegger got his money, the
kids got the bottles, but the In
dians had to go thirsty.-Gettys-

Those who allow their entries
to be governed by the new law,
if foreign born, must obtain their
second papers, even if offering
communication proof. This is a
point that should not be over
looked.
There are changes in the law
governing the amount of cultiva-

must be cultivated in the second
year Of the entry, and not less
than twenty acres in each year
thereafter until proof is made.

GREAT POTATO CROP
II all else fails this section Of

II all else fails this section of
the country is promised an i'm
mense potato crop, at least. Now
where in the northwest do
"spuds" grow with SO little
moisture as here, and they grow
to large size and are solid all
the way through. Growth to
date has not been interferred
with by spraying Of paris green
as no bugs have appeared, the
weather not being propitious for
the propagation Of that species
of pest. It is claimed by many
that paris green stunts growth
temporarily, and as the growers
have not been obliged to treat
the vines they have taken on pro-
digious growth and have potato
es as large as walnuts already
developed.
New potatoes are quoted at
the stores at &c and 7c pound,
producing about $3.50 per BUSH
ell. No one has been discovered
with enough money to buy them
however. Home grown potatoes
will be on the market within q
couple Of weeks and at the ratio
now asked for them will bring q
very fair price.
