lowed. The matter of adding mod
ern Sunday school rooms to the pres

and the sentiment was unanimously
in favor of going ahead in the near

teachers and much good results
from these monthly conferences.
Refreshments were served by Mrs.
and Miss McMurray at the close OF
the meeting.

Dancing Children
Execute Novel
Figures

At the annual Christmas dance for
children. given by Miss Lillian Viola
Moseley at Segadlo's hall yesterday
from to : o'clock, a number of beau
tiful and novel steps were witnessed by
a delighted audience of grown-ups-
friends and relatives of the young dane
ers. The children We're allowed to Sc
lect their own program, and for two
hours they gave solos, duos and dances
in which a dozen or more took part
The performance of these children
showed the many new ideas In dancing
which have been advanced and taught
by the leading dance masters OF New
York and Paris, Miss Moseley having
spent the summer learning these In
New York.
Among the dances given were the
CZardash. q Hungarian peasant dance
full of quick, graceful movements; the
Krakoviak, a Polish pantomime grour
dance; Little Boy Blue" a beautiful
interpretative dance; "Poppies," the es-
sence of grace and charm; Golden But
terfiy," an airy, fairy dance with ex-
quisite arm movements. as well as
dance steps; Polka Miniature" and
many others, besides the usual bal

room dances and variations, like The
Scottische Enchantress," "The Broad
way Polka" and the "Minuet."
The children, whose ages ranged from
seven or eight to thirteen. taking part
in these classical interpretative and
characteristic dances were Misses Ruth
Benson, Martha Boynton Florence
Deale, Lydia Toepel, Helen Brown,
Harriet Askam, Nell Summeran and
Idelia Andrews. and Masters Bert Har-
less, Walter Wilkes. DIN Stamps, Jr.,

delicious refreshments We're served to
the children and the grown-up guests,
and cordial holiday cheer radiated
throughout the afternoon.
The exhibition of these many beau
tiful dances by young children shows
the scope of the present fad for dane
ing, and its development in the high
est forms There was nothing Of the
bizarre or grotesque on the program
but, on the contrary. movements and
steps which were not only full of grace
and beauty but which embodied the
exercise Of arms and limbs and the en-
tire body of the child, in action set ia
harmony which is the latest and most
praiseworthy idea to be inculcated In
dancing by the leading masters of the
world.

low one of the latest. The Nam
moth Yellow has however, in our expert
ence made the largest yield, though the
stems are somewhat coarse and not quite
so satisfactory for hay on that account.
Soy beans and German millet will not
combine so well for hay as soy beans and
COW peas At least, this is our expert
enee and observation. German millet may
be planted any time after the season
settles and the ground warns up to
where it will readily terminate cotton.
Millet may be cut more than once in
favorable season and does not take very
long to mature. 1t should be cut for hay
when just coming into the dough stage.
This is an important matter to bear in
mind, especially if you expect to feed
the miIlet to horses and mules. When
left to mature the seed it sometimes has
an undesirable effect on these animals.
causing undue secretion of the urine OF
course, if the feeding is not persisted in
for any considerable length of time, no
serious damage is done
Amber sorghum and cow peas would
combine better for making hay than sor-
ghum and millet. Sorghum is a long
season crop, requiring much longer to
mature than German millet If you Sc
lect Warren's Extra Early and Whip
poorwill COW peas and plant with millet,
or plant any of these varieties and SOW
the millet in between the rows two to
three weeks after the peas have started,
the crop viii ripen fairly we'll together.
You can afford to cut the peas greener
than some of the other crops mentioned,
sorghum. Our suggestion would
be to use the early maturing varieties of
COW peas with the millet.

Myers Writes on Nitrate

Editor Semi-Weekly Journal:
Several cases of low grade nitrate
have, in the past, appeared on the mar
ket, and 1 am writing to suggest that
you advise correspondents to purchase
nitrate from trustworthy dealers only.
One adulterant is common salt and
sometimes salt cake has been used. Both
are worthless as fertilizers and contain
no plant foot. 1t is preferable to pur-
chase nitrate in original bags which
now contain about 200 pounds.
So far as the Chilian producers OF
nitrate are concerned, however. the
greatest care is taken, and samples are
drawn by inspectors from all cargoes
before they leave the ports of Chill.
and heavy fines would be imposed
upon any producers who attempted TO
export low grade nitrate. Salt cake
residue made as a by-product in the
manufacture of nitric acid has aSse
been used to adulterate nitrate, anG
in certain cases has been sold as inter-
cake. This name tends TO give II
false value. 1t is also worthless as
plant food On our part we have done
all that is possible to maintain high
standard, and that our policy viii be
the same in the future you may be fully
assured, and 1 hope that you viii 70
able to cooperate with us in helping
to prevent sales Of low grade nitrate
which we would greatly deplore.
Very truly yours.

GEORGIA TEACHERS TO ORGANIZE
WOODROW WILSON ASSOCIATION

will grow to formidable proportions as
a political factor.
LETTER TO TEACHERS.
Here is the letter which he is sending
out to the teachers in the state:
Dear Sir: do not assume to know
your political convictions do not even
assume that you have decided between
the presidential candidacy of Gov
Woodrow Wilson and that of Congress
man Oscar w. Underwood. This is a
letter of inquiry and suggestion
Governor Wilson has been character
lied among his numerous bitter enc
mics as "a schoolmaster in politics. He
is persistently and satirically referred
to in Georgia by the campaign manager
who opposes him as Professor Wilson
In attempting to stultify his candidacy,
his enemies have gratuitously by innu-
endo belittled the teaching profession
and have thrown aspersions upon the
capacity of any member of it, even so
brilliant and able man as Mr.. Wilson,
to hold the highest ONCE in the gift
of the nation.
There has naturally been protest
against this among Georgia's teachers
and others elsewhere.
I'm Virginia, where the people over
whelmingly favor Mr.. 9 Wilson, but
where there probably is to be no prir
mary, there is a state association of
teachers working earnestly in behalf
of Mr.. Wilson.
why should there not be one in
Georgia? Why should not we work to
help in elevating an eminent member
of our profession to the presidency
lend our names and efforts to the
cause?
This letter is the beginning of a
statewide Woodrow Wilson association,
of teachers in Georgia.
IF your sincere conclusion favors
this manifestation of our interest,
please sign and return to me the en-
rollment slip at the bottom of this
sheet-then work in Mr.. wilson's be-
half among your friends and all with
whom you have influence.
There have been IL presidents from
the teaching profession. Among them
were Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe
and Grover Cleveland. Our calling has
given other distinguished men to the
nation, for example, Robert E. Lee and
Stonewall Jackson.
Let us help to make Mr. Wilson,
who commands the admiration of all
our people, the next president
"F'raternally yours,
(Signed) u. COTTON LYNES."
