"Col. r. R." Spends One Of
Most Unhappy Days Of
His Life.
ARE MANY WITNESSES
Lawyers Wrangle Over Point OF
Law for Several
Hours.

MdIquel HlCn, Ndy 1o.-Nol.
Roosevelt spent one of the unhappi-
est DAYS of his life today. There was
fight on. 1t ragged all around him
but he could not get in it. His attor
neys and the lawyers for Editor New
EFT. who is being sued because he pub
lished the statement that the colonel
was a drunkard, fought for hours .
er a point of law. They hurled re-
ports on modern instances at each
other and plead, GRATED, denounced,
explained, eXpounded, objected and
refuted with scorn.
And Col. Roosevelt who has said a
thousand times that he loved a fight,
! had to sit like poor old tantalus
chained to the rock, while the brim-
ming cup of glorious strife was
raised often to his lips and as often
dashed away.
The point of law which tied up the
celebrated cause for something over

Roosevelt's famous tennis cabinet

formerly assistant secretary of state

of the navy had testified when court
adjourned for the day.
The point which caused the long de-
bate between counsels M,.~ as to
/ whether or not genera reports
that Col. Roosevelt uses liquor to eX-
cess was admissible. The defense
maintained that the common talk of
the people in various communities
was what constituted reputation and
it took a position to introduce evil
dence generally to establish the
fact that if there was in cir
culation generally throughout
the country belief that Colonel
Roosevelt drank to excess before Edi-
tor Newett published the article on
which the suit was based, therefore
the article caused no injury to Col.
Roosevelt
One of Col. Roosevelts attorneys
said he would not oppose the attitude
of the defense if the admission of So
| called hearsay evidence was merely to
mitigate damages. He commended, how
ever that such evidence should not
be admitted unless it should be first
established that the defendant knew
of the report before he published the
article and believed them to be true
and based his article upon them.
1t was ruled that while evidence
would be admitted regarding general
reputation of Col. Roosevelt that the
defense could not show that other
newspapers or magazines published
similar charges to the one printed by
Editor Newett, or introduced what
was alleged to be common speech
among various classes of men in diff
lerent localities

London, May 2S.-The Standard, in
an editorial discussing the Japanese
American difficulty, points out Japan's
own intolerance and prejudice against
foreigners.

says the editorial, Japan would even

thinking that Great Britain would

no circumstances be disregarded.

THE MEANING OF HONEYMOON

Stanley Quinn, in recent issue the Brides Number-of Life, gives various definitions of Honey moon by various people.
 The scientist says it is "unscien- life" and proves it.
 The jester says it is thirty days of solitary confinement for reck- less gambling"
 The bachelor says it is eating the cheese after the trap is sprung; the benedict says it is the calm before the storm; the mother tearfully explains that it is something which takes the fledgelings from the nest and silences familiar voices.
 Then the Man in the Moon is asked Tt is my best claim to the title of heavenly body" said the Man in the Moon. Tt is the time when I shine my best and gleam my bravest. It is the time when I light the lakes with my purest gold and sprinkle the forests with my gentlest silver. It is the time when l rise with reddest fire over the mountain tops to welcome the hearts that mingle their VOWS be- meath my eyes. It is the time when my soul, which the scientists call cold and dead, warns with the light that never was on sea or land; the time when my deserted valleys and chill gray hills grow young again with the magic of distant hope and love. HoneymoOn is every moon. It shone on the Gar den of Eden and it gleamed on an- cient lovers as they watched the building of the Pyramids. Other moons fade and are forgotten. but the light of Honeymoon is from the fire that famed before the earth was born
 Then the lovers were asked
 Tt is the Gate of Paradise" said the lovers, Tt is wonder and it is glory. It is the music of angels and the perfume of celestial flowers. It is the Beginning of the Story; the reason there is a story at all. And the rays of Honeymoon are brighter than all the suns that light the uni verse. for they shine through the floor of Heaven itself. Their clus- ters are a golden staircase on which those who truly love may climb"
 The lovers drew closer together.
 Honeymoon" they said, lis the Country of Only Us"

THE BOYS MUST SAVE GEORGIA'
Authorities on Food Supply Look to
 Corn Clubs for Increase.

We must double the work of the boys corn club,' says Secretary w. c. Cooper, calling attention to the statistics which show that Georgia lacks 37 million dollars annually of making enough money out of its cot ton crops to pay for food supplies brought into the state.
 Leading authorities on the food supply of Georgia agree in the es- timate that the people sent out of this state last year SIP, 4960O0 for corn oats, hay, meat, dairy pro- ducts and other foods that should be raised here" said Mir Cooper.
 This in spite of the fact that the corn crop of Georgia has increased D million bushels in five years.
 We have heard of a revolution in agriculture, and statistics show that the average yield of corn an acre went up from ten to fifteen bushels in five years, but Georgia still lacks a great deal in raising it's food.
 What are We going to do about it?
 We must double the work of the corn club and farm demonstration agents so bravely begun in the last five years.
 Where there are now ten thous- and boys in corn clubs. we should have hundred thousand. This means the economic salvation of Georgia"

Boys Teaching Their Fathers How
 tO Farm.

In the current issue of Farm and Preside appears an article showing the progress of boy corn growers in Hamblen county Tennessee, where prizes were offered by business men. Fifty-two boys entered the contest in 1912 and secured an average yield per acre of 9l bushels. The highest average yield in Hamblen county has been 9 bushels. and the aver age for the state 26. The boys ob- tained their information from the United States Department of Agri- culture. Following Is an extract from the article:
 At a meeting of the boys early in the spring l turned to an old gentleman sitting nearby, at the conclusion of an address by one of Uncle Sans demonstration agents. and asked, What do you think of it?' referring to the experts eXpla- nation of the new method of rais- ing corn. Sounds fine he replied and looks good on paper, but it won't work out on the farm. I've been raising corn all my life, and I think l know a thing or two about farming. However, if my boy wants to try il he can have any piece of ground I've got, and I'll help him, for I want him to have a chance at everything good that comes along If he raises more corn on one acre than do on five. I'll admit that my father and grandfather and I were all wrong and begin farming the boys way
 The old sentleman's boy secured the third largest yield in the county this year, and at an average cost of only l5 cents per busheL on up land. saw the father the other day and reminded him of our for- mer conversation. He had learned the lesson, and enthusiastically told me of his plans for the coming year

First Dose Ends Indigestion, Heart
 burn or Gas on Stomach.

The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from indigestion, dyspepsia or out of-order stomach is merely a mat ter of how soon you begin taking Bloodine.
 If your stomach is lacking in di- gestive power, why not help the stomach do its work, not with drastic drugs, but as a re-enfOrcement of digestive agents, such as are nat urally at work in the stomach?
 People with weak stomachs should take a little Bloodine oc- casionally, and there will be no more indigestion, no feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, no heartburn. sour riSings. gas on stomach, or belching of undigested food. headaches, dizziness or sick stomach; and besides. what you eat will not fermenl and poison your breath with nauseOus Odors All these symptoms resulting from a sour, NOut-of-order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved five minutes after taking a little BloOdine.
 Go 10 your druggist and gel a 50- cent bottle of Bloodine now and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetite, and what you eat will taste good because your stom- ach and intestines will be clean and fresh and you will know there are not going to be any more bad nights and miserable days for you. Blood inc will freshen you and make you feel like life is worth living.
