Alaskan Volcanoes
Are Spouting Fire

Seattle Wash, June 8.-Three
slumbering volcanoes in the Aleu-
tian mountain range of Alaska
suddenly have come to life ana
are throwing out great quantities
of smoke and hot ashes. The
awakened peaks are 1lliamana and
Redoubt, in the Cook Inlet country
and Katmai, which overlooks
Strait. 1t is likely that Bogoslof,
Shishaldin and Pavloff, which are
active volcanoes and much farther
west also are spouting flames.
Dispatches from the north say
the volcanoes are emitting lava
and rocks, but tie discharge from
the Alaska craters usually is only
ash and smoke, and it is hoped
there will be no loss of life.
The cable dispatches received
tonight report the situation as
more serious. St. Augustine as
we'll as Illamana and Redoubt are
in eruption on the west shore of
Cook Inlet. AS soon as it is pos
sibIe to operate wireless instru'
ments the revenue cutters will be
asked to 60 to the relief of the
people in the volcano districts.
Including Indians, it is estimat-
ed that 800 persons are in peril.
It is the height of the salmon-can-
ming season and large crews of
men are engaged in fishing and
canning.

Advice to Boys Corn Clubs
Mr.. G. V. CUNNINGHAM, Triton, Ca

Mr.. G. V. CUNNINGHAM, Triton, Ga.
Ny DEAR SIR:-Now that you have
succeeded in securing a large en-
rollment of club members, it is of
the utmost Importance that you
leave no stone unturned to encour-
age the boys in their work. The I'M
favorable seasonal conditions may
cause many fathers to lose interest
in the boy and deny him the facili-
ties needed to plant his acres of corn
to the best advantage. The boys
should be advised to plant their
corn even mp to the 18th of June,
for the season is long enough in
Georgia to permit late planting and
still obtain a fine crop: in fact, corn
should either be planted late or
early in this climate. and according
to my observations, the late planted
corn often out-yields that planted
early.
Tell the boys not to plant the corn
until they have the land ready, to
pillow it thoroughly, not when it is
wet, and to prepare a find seed bed
as this is very important They
should fertilize literally, using a
rather large amount of nitrogen, at
least half of which should be quick
! ly available. If they can secure
vegetable matter to place in the
drill row so much the better On
heavy clay lands, we think 9-3-3
formula used at the rate of SOC
pounds per acre would be about
right, On loamy soils which show
the presence of some sand, about 6
| 1914. On light sandy land from
10 to IL per cent of phosphoric acid
4 to 5 per cent of nitrogen, and 5 tC
6 per cent of potash should be used
On heavy clay land and loamy
soils, a side application of two tt
three hundred pounds should be
made. On sandy lands probably two
side application of two to three hun.
dred pounds each can he used to adj
vantage. The side application should
be put on relatively early. Get the
last on at least two weeks before the
corn punches to tassel. Tell the
boys that shallow persistent cult.

An Unsual Amount of
Painting Done this Spring

Everything comes to those
who hustle while they wait" seems
to be the motto adopted by our
energetic merchants, Fitzgerald
Hdw. Co., for they have certainly
been hustling this spring.
In backing up their excellent
advertising in the columns of the
LEADER Enterprise their handsome
window displays have proved most
effective. According to a CONVEX
sation with one of our reporters
there has been an unusual amount
of painting done in Fitzgerald,
Ga, this spring. That's sign Of
prosperity we're very glad to see.
This week floor paints is the
leader in their window. How an
old scratched floor or marred
bare floor can be given hard,
serviceable, easily-kept-clean sur
face is, clearly shown by the SAM
pie they display. 2t.

and advise them to keep it up as
late in the season as possible. The
boys must not be discouraged, for
there is no place in the United
States where corn may be planted
so late and still produce as high a
yield as in Georgia. The use of side
applications will help the yield in
our judgment this season.
The advisability of using nitrate
of soda as a top dressing cannot be
foretold at this writing, but we will
inform the boys relative to this mat
ter later on. We want them to re-
member that the College stands
ready to give them individual advice
and suggestions relative to the Gull
tivation, fertilization and manage
ment of their crop. They have a
month yet in which to plant and
still have an opportunity to make
as fine a record as the boy who
seeded his corn in March or April.
Tell your club members not to be
disheartened. Advise with the coun-
ty school superintendents and the
! teachers and urge them to encourage
the boys: Ask the local papers to
print any information which will be
helpful. If we all pull together and
do our duty in this matter, we need
not worry about the outcome next
fall. Very respectfully,
ANDREW M. SoULE, President.

Not His Fault

From the Youths Companion.
 Terrible as it is to the slain in battle there is one thing the soldier fears worse, declares a veteran. That is to miss the honor of taking part in a great battle and to die ingloriously at home when his country needs him. An artilleryman from Michigan brought this out during the Civil war.
 The man had only just gone to the front and had seen no real lighting. One day while on the march he fell and was run over by a gun carriage. He was so badly crushed that sorely against his will hc had to be furloughed and sent home.
 While he lay in bed under the doctor s care the battle of Gettysburg was fought. The man feared he would die and keenly regretted that since he must go it cou,l not have been on that glorious field. He called the doctor to hear his last re- quest
 Doctor. if l go, promise me thus: My stone shall bear these words: Killed at Gettysburg in the front of battle
