Farm doctoring pays, according
to cold figures and to the calculations
of hard-headed Illinois farmers.
In DeKalb county alone half a mil
lion dollars has been saved in the
corn crop through the service of the
soil expert. Following the prescrip-
tons for medicine for the soil the
growers of that county have increas-
ed their grain production and are
raising fine clover on land that was
thought to be worn out by a genera
ton and a half of constant filling.
Lewis NJ. Gross of Sycamore, the
county seat, thus tells the story:
''The soil physician is a county Off
GER, and will be paid $4,000 year.
His retention three years ago was
the outcome of activity of the agri-
cultural society of the county after
so years of existence. He will have
the use of an automobile and ex-
penses paid. Three thousand dollars
was contributed by residents and ST.
coo appropriated by the county. The
soil expert visits two farms a day
and prescribes for sick and worn out
land. When a farmer complains that

his yield is falling off the ex-
pert tests the soil and tells what
must he added to make it fertile.
"One fal"ler broke 80 acres for
corn aud contributed to the soil what
the county expert directed. The
yield was 80 bushels to the acre.
On one acre left untouched the corn
grew up about three feet, curled over
and died. Another farmer planted
six acres to alfalfa. The expert said
that he had chosen the one six acres
not fit to grow alfalfa, and he sug-
gested chemical treatment. The adj
vice was followed and the the result
was good crop.
ut is safe to say that the county
has added ten bushels of corn to the
acre through the advice of the ex-
pert in three years. Nearly 100000
acres in the county are planted to
corn, which means an increase of
100000 for corn alone.
THE best land sold for $3.50 an
acre three years ago. There has been
more land sold in the county this
year than in the previous two years,
and sales now average $50 an acre

The fate of the Last Man has kind
led the imaginations of countless
dreamers. His rigors ant exigencies
have been a universal theme for
generations. Any normal person can
remember when as a small child he
was told how the earth finally would
be consumed in flames or cnveloped
in deadly cold, according to the pred
Election of his nurse. The problem
of wrestling victory from the situa-
ton has stimulated many an Adde'S
cent mind, and many backward con-
yersations have contained wise and
ingenious remedies for that direful
day when the world comes to an end.
And grown-ups have specialized
with just about as keen a Zest, and,
frankly, with about as futile conclu-
sions. Surmise has been rife in ev-
cry quarter as to what will ultimate
ly happen to the human race, and
not even the precocious office boy,
who defined the ultimate" as a
square meal" has allayed altogeth-
er the questioning of the race con-
corning its end.

A GOOD OLD WORLD.

Well may the people of Georgia
take pride in having such men in its
borders, native sons of the state, who
have devoted time and talent and life
itself in Jealous work caring for
those unable to take care of them
selves, ministering to those who
needed ministrations most. And best
of all, too, the statement is given out
by one who knows that prospects for
both of these noble men indicate that
they will be spared for many more
years to pursue their labor of love
on behalf of the states unfortunates
who linger for yet awhile and pass
away to where "the blind shall sec
and the deaf shall hear and crooked
things shall be made straight"

WHY THEY MARRIED.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
Postal cards were sent out to all
the married men in a certain town OF
Western New York carrying the
question, why did you marry?" The
following are some of the answers
received.
That's what I've been trying for
eleven years to find out"

however, that freckles amt as bad

Animals Best Friend HonOred.

A sixty-foot monument, having for
its base a memorial drinking fount-
ain, was recently erected in Boston
for the use of horses and smaller
animals. The fountain is provided
with sixteen individual drinking
bowls, which are used by more than
5000 horses daily, and upon the top
of the monument of granite and ce-
ment rests a brilliantly gilded eagle.
The monument and fountain cost
about $4,000, and large portion OF
this sum was COLLECTED by school chill
dren to commemorate the life-worB
of the late George H. Angel of the
Massachusetts, Humane Society.
Mr.. Angeles life was devoted Il
the protection and well-being o
dumb animals of every description
and it was truly humane and nobl'
work. A publication, Our Dumb An
imals, is issued monthly by the Mas
saehusetts Humane Society, of whicl
Mr.. Angel was the founder. 1t is
handsomely illustrated and interest
ing journal, and a copy Of it in ever
home would result in better care an
less abuse of our dumb friends.

House Cleaning Time,

To the man of the house, whether
he is drafted into the cleaning force
or not, house cleaning is an unmiti-
gated nuisance. He is routed out of
his wanted orbit; when he returns
to it everything is turned topsy-tur-
Wy, not anything is in it's familiar
place; when he has learned where
things are they are just as deeply
covered with gray dust as they were
before the ceremony began. The
average man has that quality in him
which would save him all the petty
and forever repeated drudgery of
life.
But this is contrary to all the in
stincts of woman. She is never hap
pier than when changing things
around, dislodging and fighting dust.
Whether this is inherent in feminine
nature or has grown, through the
requirement of circumstances, to be
matter merely Of inheritance is a
question for psychologists to settle,
1t has come to be as inevitable as
the vernal equinox. And at this par
ticular time of the year it may be
seen in fullest feather 1t is house
cleaning time!

Women Criminals.

A Georgia contemporary is correct
when it says: There is entirely
too much maudlin sympathy express
ed for. women who commit high
crimes. 1t is a hard matter to con-
vict them, no matter how atrocious
their crimes. Usually those who kill
their husbands haven't a very exalt-
ed reputation behind them" The
woman criminal is about the lowest
and most despicabIe specimen of hu-
mainly, and the disposition to make
a heroine of her has a bad influence.
1t encourages crime among the crimi-
nally disposed OF that sex.

Terrell, according to area, main
tains her position as the greatest cot
ton producing county. Three other
counties produced a few more bales
in 1912, but all of them are much
larger in area. According to gov
eminent statistics there is only one
other county in the United States
which produces as much cotton per
square mile as Terrell, down here in
Gods country. But, perhaps, this
whole section would be more pros
porous if less cotton were raised.

Will Man Take to The Woods?

According to Gertrude Atherton
the well known author, the mascu
line sex has d frightfully gloomy fu
ture to which to look forward. She
writes;
when all the nonsense and SEN
timentality have died out of the
world it will be universally admit
ted that men and women are made
up of the same ingredients, and
that the preponderance of good
or bad, weakness or strength, is
in the individual, not the sex.
When women have achieved full
liberty. in other words, fully found
themselves, and, increasingly con-
fident in their swelling ranks,
stand squarely on their own feet,
they will be just as rapacious, just
as dishonest, just as sharp and
over-reaching as conditions and
the law permits. Those
women of brain and character that
deliberately select the open for
their talents instead of the home
will fight man at his own game,
and, it may be, rout him, dispos-
sess him, eat him up"
After portraying the change in
standards, ideals and customs, to-
gether with different habits of
through the past quarter Of
a century, Mrs. Atherton comes to
this conclusion;
Now the logical result of this
attitude to life will be women's
cold-blooded use of men in every
way, precisely as their sex always
has been and still is used by men.
They will fight them at their own
game in politics and business,
avenging their sex in general and
in time there will be women pub
fishers, bankers, brokers, ward
politicians, managers of big bust
ness, with thousands of subdued
males under their heels. Given
the fundamental instinct to tyran-
ize, add to it the long centuries
of repression, of enforced submits
sion, followed by another century
of slow but persistent endeavor
to obtain for their sex the natural
rights of human beings; reflect up
on their full realization of mans
Injustice to woman, as to all Great
ures weaker than himself, and add
again this sudden determined up
rising of women in all centerS OF
civilization; reflect Furthermore
upon the moral support these in
creasing numbers give to one an
other, the rapid development of
brain and character and strength
of body, also upon the sweets Of
revenge, and it is hardly necessary
to add that mans position is no
longer unchallenged nor particu-
larly stable"
AS one of the imaginary lords of
reation" we sincerely trust that this
fitted literary lady has another guess

The "BIue Sky" Industry,

When the Georgia legislature
meets a few weeks hence the move
ment to guard the people of the state
against the blue sky" exploiters
should not be permitted to lag. By
blue sky exploiters" is meant the
gentlemen who, as promoters of I'M
dertakings or schemes that call for
preliminary sale of stock, whether
common" or preferred, persuade
people to give up good money in ex-
change for such stock. Blue sky
is slangy, but the phrase was coined
because of the lavishness of the
promises or representations made by
the field solicitors or agents of the
scheme or undertaking whose stock
is offered the public. 1t is all 'blue
sky and no clouds. The promoter
is not a philanthropist 1t would not
be reasonable to expect that. He
has stimulus only a degree less
potent than the live coal on the back
OF terrapin-and of decidedly more
pleasant sort of responsiveness, for
it is money, the very liberal commits
sion paid to him, the stock seller.
There are sensible, level-headed men
and women who buy stock thus offer
ed who would be astonished to know
how large is the 'rake-Off" or COM
mission of the selling agents. Level
headed buyers would comprehend
that such lavish remuneration is not
sound business policy-that a house
built on such a foundation, to speak
figuratively, is not on bedrock by
any means, but a foundation rather
suggestive of sand. They ought to
know that the stock of a really sol
vent investment should stand, to a
considerable extent, on its intrinsic
merits.
There can be no valid challenge
of the proposal that the investing pub
lie shall be reasonably safeguarded
in the matter of promotion and sale
OF stock-that there shall be reas-
enable regulation and supervision of
such matters. The state is alert, |
and commercially so, in regulating
the operation of state banks, insur-
ance companies and the like. 1t is
strenuous as to the amount of stock |
or bonds a corporation may issue
and sell, and why not pay more at
tention to the promotion expense of
a concern that wants to operate un-
der state charter?
The suggestion of regulation is not
new, for the public has had admoni-
ton that has impressed more than
one man or woman who has given
up his or her money after hearing
the rose-colored statements and
promises of sales agents who, if re-
ports are true, have reaped highly
adequate compensation for the ser
vice rendered. That compensation
comes out of somebody's pocket
certainly not out of the promoters,
nor, it may be assumed, the under
taking he represents.
