believe every thing you read in print.
1t is just as easy to put exaggerations
and false arguments in print as It
is to have them peddled about by paid
workers. You are much more liable
to get the truth out OF your regular
newspaper of any party than from a

BURNING STUBBLE

Frank Connolly, of Brant, Alta,
writes as follows: "There is differ
ence of opinion here as to whether
burning stubble before blowing, or
grass before breaking, is benefit or
detriment to the SOIL"
We never advise the burning OF
stubble on land that is not unusually
fertile. Of course under certain cir
cumstances it is best to burn the stub.
BILE and get it out of the way, but when
one burns a ton of straw he is prac-
tically losing $3.50 worth of fertilizer
and, this does not take into considera.
tion'the value of this straw as humus
in the soil.
The best way to prepare your land
would be to pillow in the fall and then
to harrow in the spring before using
the drill, but of course as this is i'm.
possible now, the only thing you can
do is to prepare your land as well as
you can this spring before seeding
time. .-.... .....
Where the stubble is very heavy,
indicating that the land is unusually
fertile, and in your particular case, it
probably would be the best thing to
burn the stubble, as it prevents the
land warming up early in the spring,
and it also reduces the danger due to
drought But the best way, if the
stubble is not heavy, is to pillow the
land and follow the pillow with a land
packer. This will re-establish the soil
capillarity; then if you form a dust
mulch by using the peg tooth harrow,
it will prevent the evaporation Of soil
moisture.

MANY GEORGIA POUKERS
KILLED BY CHOLERA
Veterinarian Says so Per Cent
Have Been Killed

That cholera among hogs has wiped
out so per cent. of Georgia's porkers
this year is the statement of DR.. p. T.
Bahnsen, state veterinarian, who de-
clares that in some localities the per-
centage is very much higher. DR.
Bahnsen charges the unusual devasta-
ton wrought by the plague this year
to the severe winter and wet spring
season, asserting that conditions grow
ing out of those facts have been re-
sponsible for the wide and rapid
spread of the cholera to such a de-
gree that it can hardly be combatted
That the loss to Georgia from this
cause alone has been tremendous
is indicated by the statement of E. j.
Young, of Ocilla, Irwin county who
was a caller at the capitol recently.
Mr.. Young asserts that one farmer IN
Irwin county has lost not less than
$4,000 worth of hogs from cholera
this year. The percentage of loss in
Irwin county alone, he says, is no,
! less than 80 per cent.
DR.. Bahnsen declares that the dis
ease is more ruinous this year than Z
ever has been A score of letters q
day come to him, he says, from far
mers begging for advice about how
save the animals. One letter, re
ceived Monday morning, came in a.
envelop addressed to Hog Choler,

WATER SUPPLY

INCREASED

Three hundred gallons pure artesian
water per minute: $4,000 gallons per
hour, is added to Americas water sup
ply at the city reservoir in the flow
from the ten-inch artesian well of
which mention was made in The
Times-Recorder yesterday, except that
the capacity was not at that time
known.
Yesterday City Engineer Ansley
measured the flow and ascertaineG
1T to be 300 gallons per minute, un-
der full air pressure. The water
comes from a depth of $50 to 100 feet,
and rises to within fifty feet of the
surface. From that point it is lifted
into the reservoir by compressed air
The flow of 500 gallons per min
ute showed no diminution. after hav-
ing thus been operated for some time
Later, under reduced air pressure,
steady flow of $50 gallons per min
utee was maintained as long as desir-
ed. Ire stream whence comes this
added supply was found at a depth
of 1870 feet and in a deep strata OF
sand underlying a ledge of rock ten
feet in thickness. If the supply con-
tinues, as anticipated, the new we'll

STANDARD OIL
BUYS Eating
EMPORIUMS
GETS CHILD'S RESTAURANT
New Way to Use Its EROr-
mo S Income

New York, June 20-Through re-
cent sales of stock of the Childs Res
taurant Company it has leaked cut
that this great chain of eating places
is now financed and controlled by the
Standard Oil trust.
Profits earned in the oil combine
have been diverted to buy up the res
taurants and the system is to be ex-
tended throughout the country In
another year every man who buys a
sandwich in any of the cities of the
nation must contribute to the wealth
of John D. and his associate.
1t is also reported that the Standard
oil group has acquired control of a
string of drug stores found all over
the city Of New York, and that the
same men are about to take up an
other system of independent and pro-
titable retail stores.
The annexation of the Childs res
taurants by the Standard Oil group
gives to these men many varied in
terests. In addition to producing oil
and its hundred or so by-products,
they are engaged in the manufacture
of candy, breakfast foods, rubber,
drugs and medicines, syrups and now
are about to embark in the tobacco
business.
Some time ago the men who estab-
lished the Childs restaurants were in
need of funds. They went to the d.
rectors of the Standard Oil Company
and convinced them that the eating
house business could be made to pay
Urge dividends.
The money was forthcoming Since
then the restaurants have been ma
aged by the same brains that directed
the operations of the late oil trust.
The stock was originally taken i'm the
names of Charles Sweeney, H. NJ. TIL
ford and one or two others. Under
their direction an extensive real es-
tate department ha sheen added to the
business.
Recently the stock interests of these
oil men have been enlarged. Now It
is announced that the operations are
to be extended and the cheap restau-
rants established all over the coun-
try.
Edward T. Bedford vice president
of the Standard Oil Co. when asked
about the matter, said that neither he
nor the Messrs. Rockefeller, nor Ro-
gers. owned any of the stock though
be was cognizant of the fact that men
prominent in Standard oil affairs hal
bought in on these securities.
Il knew at the time" said Mr.. Bed
ford that a number of my colleagues
in Standard oil had formed a syndi-
cate for the purpose of purchasing
some of the Childs restaurant stock,
but 7 am not aware of the amount
acquired by them either individually
or collectively.
"The Messrs. Rockefeller, Mr. Rog-
ers and myself did not go into the in
vestment, and while the men who did
go in may be said to have used Stan
dard oil profits or profits from their
Standard oil holding, the Standard Oil
Company, as a corporation is in no
way identified with the enterprise"

City Cour,-..Fuiler Judge

Archelle Berger, l3, was before the court Monday morning, charged with statutory burglary. For weeks past Berger has been stealing money from the home of Honorious Msgnsn, Church street. Hts sotal steshngx have amounted to about $50. MT. and Mrs. Msgnan are both employed dur ing the day, so the boy had little difh- eulty in getting into their home by the use of keys that he had stolen and ab- stracting what he felt like taking from a common treasury thst existed in a bureau drawer. MT. and Mrs. Mag nan have been missing money regular ly, but each thought that the other was taking 1t for needed purposes from the joint family fund, so said nothing to each other about the mat ter. Finally gold locket disappear, ed, and this opened the eyes of the Magnans to the fact that they were be- ing gradually relieved of their savings. Later information led to young Der gers arrest.
 In court the boy admitted that he had taken tle money in sums ranging as high as So. He has been stealing for weeks to get the total amount that he has had to spend. Inquiry develop. ed the fact that he spent the coin in taking parties of friends to see the moving picture shows in town, in hav- ing street car rides and on candy.
 The boy has been in town only few weeks, coming here from Fall River. He Is the son of widowed mother, who says he never before has been in any kind of trouble. Judge Fuller continued the boys case for two weeks, placing him in charge of the proba- ton officer, that his record may be in- vest,gated.
 One result of the case was a sugges- ton, concurred in by all the court of- flcials. that the managers of the nov ing picture houses should be notified that they must see that the law regards ing the attendance of children as places of amusement Is strictly obecrv- ed. The statute provides that no child under IA years shall be allowed to at- tend In the afternoon and no boy un- der IA years or girl under Is years shall be allowed to attend in the even- ing unless accompanied by parent or guardian. The managers were so noti- fled in the afternoon.
