The sun rises hot and sets hot,
with a night sky full of strange
lights, like the flashing of firefies,
the phosphoric phenomena of
wierd, spooky waste. The night
brings some relief, but the new day
dawns hotter, it seems, than the day
before The water in your canteen
is nauseating as it almost sizzles un-
der the glare of the merciless sun.
The air pressure, hot from above and
hot from below, almost staggers you,
while your thick tongue, swelling
rapidly from thirst, all but strangles
you, says a Nevada paper.
The sand dunes, marked only by
mesquite, swallow you without af-
fording refuge from the heat; the
wind blows as if from out of fiery
furnace; the sand shifts with the
wind and the trail is lost; the bur-
ros may stampede and the last of
your grub may be hopelessly scat

place; gone mad from thirst and hun

the coyotes and the grief of loved
ones to who mtheir ersting place is
unknown. Some day perhaps a more
fortunate pilgrim has found a skele-
ton and dug a grave, with an occa-
sional find of jewelry or papers by
which the remainscould be identified,
but in the years in which the writer
was familiar with the stories of the
lost in Death Valley but few missing
ones were located. The valley has
swallowed them up, as the sea.
And during the month of July
1913, another victim has answered
the summons of the Death Valley
call; a pioneer of desert mining
camp, who had braved the terrors Of

MERGERS FRIENDS At WORK
SEEK TO HAVE him REAPPOINT-
ED GAME COMMISSIONERS.
Friends Declare Present Incumbent
Has Earned Another Term. Fine
Hunting Season Close at Hand.

ATLANTA.-One of the problems
Governor Slaton will have to settle
shortly after his arrival home from
the governors conference Tuesday
will be the appointment Of a game
commissioner.
There has been a great deal OF
speculation as regards this place.
Friends of Hon. j. E. Mercer are
making a hard pull to have him reap
pointed, contending that he is en-
titled to it through an excellent adj
ministration of the law, and that he
has done so much both to enforce
and popularize the game preserva-
ton.
Commissioner Mercer is waging an
especially vigorous war this season
against batting fields for doves or
other game birds He has issued spe-
cial instructions to his wardens in
every county to watch for this infrac-
ton OF the law and to prosecute the
violators. He has less patience with
this form of bird slaughter than any
otehr, and hopes good men and real
sportsmen over the state will coop
crate with him everywhere to break
up the practice.
Reports coming in say that quail
are more numerous than ever known
before, and in some sections the birds
are so thick that planters are actu-
ally complaining of damage done by
them to pea fields, grain, etc.
1t is believed that the hunting sea-
son this fall will be better than for
many years.

INVENTS A GUANO TABLET
FARMERS CAN TAKE FERTILIZER
FOR FARM IN VEST poe NET.
Macon Doctor Is Said tn Have In
terested Number of NOrtherners
in His New Project.

For a number of years the ten
dency has been to get every posibl
thing in tabloid form, doing ava,
with bulkIne-s and max rs even
mans dinner sufficiently snc,,r L
caryr in his vest pocket.
There have been tabloid novel:
and tabloid courses of education
tabloid army rations and tabloid ev-
erything but tabloid political
speeches.
1t remains, however, for a South
ern doctor to place on the market an
expurgated tabloid plant fertilizer.
DR.. c. S. Stapler of Macon recently
exhibited commercial fertilizers made
in cube and bricklet form and carried
in the vest pockets-enough to fertil-
ize a whole orange orchard or truck
garden for a season-and there was
was trailing after him not the slight
est scent of the common, well-known
guano odor, or any other kind.
DR.. Stapler has just returend from
the north, where he succeeded in in
teretsing sapital in the new method
of manufacturing fertilizers. He is
not offering any for sale yet, nor has
he even worked out all the formulate
that will be used in the manufacture
for various agricultural purposes;
but he demonstrated the possibility
of the new method.
He claims for his method that the
bulky filler, 50 commonly known in
20O-pound sacks of guano, is all done
away with, and that instead the
farmer will purchase small cubes or
bricklets varying in size according
TO the uses they are to be put, and
that these cubes or bricklets contain
95 per cent available and soluble
plant food, the other per cent be-
ing a light plastic composition to
hold the fertilizer ingredients in
their intended shape.
Instead of the old method of plac-
ing fertilizers in the field with dis
tributor or horn, Scattering it with
more or less accuracy over a large
surface, the farmer will drop cube
TO each hill of corn, etc, or place
near the roots of his trees a certain
number of cubes, covering them up,
and the work is done.
He shows photographs of corn and
peanuts planted over the cubes and
the roots of the growing plants had
clamped around and permeated the
fertilizer cube, and were drawing
sustenance from near at hand with
out running all over the field to find
food,

Against New England. Manufact-
urers ON Same Footing.
WASHINGTON.-An agricultural
currency amendment to the admins
tration currency bill was adopted by
the house democratic caucus today.
After several preliminary skirmishes,
in which other amendments were
beaten, the caucus without dissent
ing vote adopted an amendment,
agreed to both by the ''insurgent'
contingent and banking and currency
committee, to put paper based on ag-
ricultural products on the same basis
as commercial paper for banking
/ purposes.
/ 1t also would extend the maturity
of notes and bills admitted to ninety
days instead of the originally pro-
posed sixty days. This action dis
posed of the big controversial issues
in the administration currency bill.
The Amendment as Adopted.
The amendment reads: Upon
the Endorsement of any member bank
any federal reserve bank may dis
count notes and bills of exchange
arising out of commercial transac-
tons; that is, notes and bills of ex-
change issued or drawn for agricult-
ural, industrial or commercial pur-
poses or the proceeds of which have
been used or may be used for such
purposes the federal reserve board 20
have the right to determine or define
the character of the paper thus eligi-
Bile for discount, within the meaning
of this act. But such definition shall
not include notes or bills issued or
drawn for the purpose of carrying or
trading in stocks, bonds or other in
vestments, securities, nor shall any
thing herein contained be construed
to prohibit such notes and bills of
exchange, secured by staple agricult-
ural products or other goods, wares
or merchandise from being eligible
for such discount.
Notes and bills admitted to dis
count under the terms of this para
graph must have a maturity of not
more than ninety days"
No Discrimination Either Way.
Chairman Glass tonight said the
amendment did not discriminate eth
err for or against the farmer; that the
New England shoe manufacturer or
clothing maker could present his
goods for discount as much as the
farmer could and in the final analysis
1.-The whole thing is left to the federal
reserve board or the regional re-
serve bank which does the discount
ing"
The caucus defeated an amendment
to exclude from re-discounting AZ
! federal reserve banks notes or bills
intended for dealing in futures or for
marginal trading on agricultural
products.

| pears remarkable letter written by j.
A. Burns-known as Burns of the
Mountains'-a wonderful mountain
white, who has founded a college at
| Oneida, KY. where he is carrying on
great work. Following is an extract
from his letter:
my life has been spent largely in
conditions very different from those in
which my brothers of the north live
,, They go to the markets and buy in
small portions the bread the bread, the
meat, the fruits, all that they use In
my country we can not do that. The
old American way of life. still prevails
to some extent. We still make our
own bacon and hams in our smoke
houses
Last summer few young girls of
our college put up six hundred gallons
of fruits and wild blackberries for use
in our school. When l tell you that we
figure the cost Of weeks board for a
student at 20 cents, you will see. and
something Of the natural richness Of
our country A northern friend tells
me that box of blaclsberries costs
eighteen or twenty cents. not quite a
quart. A woman In our village will go
out with two water pals. each holding
three gallons, and in the evening she
will bring them in, both full Of wild
blackberries and ii she gets. fifty cents
for the two pailfuls Of berri es she
thinks herself very we'll paid.
''Our students on our farm raise the
great part of what they eat. This is
how we can give room, board and tut

month. When I first saw a man pay
dollar for single meal, it seemed to
me almost a crime. Not many of our
BOYS can themselves afford to pay four
dollars a month. That shows you
what are the living conditions in which
they grow up. What can I do?
ut Is In trying to%answer some of
these terrible questions tEat@1 have of
late eaten bread at northern tables
Always I have to go back In memory to
the days when I first ate bread IN our
mountain home. My mother would call
me before dawn and tell me to get up
and 20 grind for breakfast would
go out into the smokehouse and take
some Of the wheat or corn we had
raised in our mountains and would put
it in the hand mill and grind the Hour
for our breakfast MS aaIiu MN was
made of two round stones, the top one
working on little wooden spindle
which stuck up thru the bottom one.
You poured the wheat in a hole at the
middle of the upper stone. The Hour
came out thru little outlet at the
edges between. There was hickory
handle which was fitted into the top
stone, the upper end Of the handle
working in a supporting frame. This
made the stone turn more easily. Two
persons could turn it. 1t was done af-
ter the fashion of Palestine. 1t was
the best mill we had. In perhaps fif-
teen minutes l would have flour or
meal enough ground for breakfast. 1t
was sweet -four. II we wanted to re-
move some Of the grits or husks. then
we would take a circular hoop made
out of password bark and covered with
a piece of muslin. and screen the flour
thru this. We still raise corn on our
steep hilksides by means Of the hoe.
Our wheat fields still are small.

How tho Rcd Cross Works.

A young man who appeared to be
poorly paid clerk came to the Red
Cross office in New York al the noon
hour last Friday and pulled from his
pocket IS and 81 bill. The person
in charge asked him If he was not Civ
ing more than his share, ard suggested
that he keep the 81 bill. NO" said he.
"rve kept some small change for car
fare and lunch, and tomorrow's pay
day" One letter accompanying small
contribution read:

How are Red Cross funds spent?
Spontaneous contributions thru
variety of channels are usually suffici-
ent for immediate needs, and the Red
Cross followed it's customary policy OF
reserving as much Of its funds as pos
sible for permanent rehabilitation.
In the flood and tornado stricken
