HAS
LIVE UNION Of
FARMERS
BuIIoch County Town Supports
One of States Best AgricuI-
turaI Colleges,

STATESBORO, GA, July IL
Filling the large auditorium of the
First District Agricultural College to
its capacity Bulloch County farmers
rallied to the call of the Farmers
Union and to the standard bearer
Charles S. Barrett.
L. NJ. Rhodes, Of Tennessee, deliv-
cred one of the greatest addresses
ever heard here. The crowd showed
its appreciation by applause.
The Bulloch County Union is one
of the best in the State, due largely
to the efforts of Professor o. T.
Harper. of the Agricultural College
a tireless worker for the farmer.
Another factor is President +. {. j..
Dickens, who took charge Of the col
lege after 1t had run down to a hand
full of students, and built it up until
ii ranks as a leader. Ii has an en-
rollment equal to one-sixth of the
total of the eleven district agricul-
tural colleges in the State. Scien-
titic farming, mechanics and domes-
tic science are taught.
A magnificent brick building has
been erected. 1t was designed and
built by the students.
The farm of about 120 acres resem-
bles an experiment farm after the eX
pertinent has proven a success. Finer
corn could not be found anywhere.
Other crops are as good. Bulloch
farmers call IL their school. 1t will
not be long until reservations will
have to be made a year In advance.
Bulloch County farmers believe In
the Farmers Union and Charles 5.
Barrett, who is making their cause
his life work.
StatesbOrO is a progressive and up
to-date little town. on every hand
new buildings are going up. Old ones
are being remodele.
There is a magnificent three story
office building covering quarter Of
block. which would be a credit to
any town of five times the popula-
ton.
There are good department stores.
One is three stories. II covers a
space of about 100 by $50 feet The
other big department store is only
two stories high. but covers a space
150 by $50 feet, with a large ware
house in the rear.
An odd feature of this store is that
the center, with a frontage of about
% feet is the First National Bank,
of which the head of the store is
president On either side Of the bank
are entrances to the store.
Either of these stores would be ap-
preciated in Atlanta or any other
city.

EASY TO LIVE A CENTURY

1t is remarkable fact that II cen
tenarians, whose ages varied from 100
to 10, have died in Ireland during
the present year. This fact conclu-
sively proves, says the Herald of the
Golden Age, that 1t is possible for near
ly every well-conducted person to live
century, and that there is no need for
most people to die before they have
reached half the century mark. 1t is
only matter of hygienic living, abb
stinence from poisonous foods and
from excessive eating and drinking,
combined with plenty of honest work.
useful exercise and amoderate amount
of recreation. AS the world needs
men and women who have gained wis
dom and experience, to exercise use
full influence upon our chaotic social
and political life, let US all do what
we can to advocate sane methods of
living, and preach the gospel of pos
sible century of life for all.

ROMANCE OF AN OLD BOOK

A copy of Benjamin Franklin's Dis
sertation on Liberty and Necessity"
which was printed in IT'S and sold at
that time for the small sum of half
crown. was sold recently for $4,000 at
a London dealers.
A romantic history is associated
with this book. 1t is believed that only
about 100 copies of the original Dis
sertation on Liberty and Necessity
were printed The edition was sup
messed. and the volume sold at Sothe-
by's and one other are the only re-
naming copies known.
About so years ago Henry Stevens
founder of the firm Of Messrs. Henry
stevens of Great Russell street. Lon
don. bought this copy for a small sum.
He then offered it to the BRITISH
museum for $40 but it was declined on
account Of the price. Next the book
was offered to two famous collectors
for $50 but was again refused on &C
count of the price. 1t was sold at auc'
tion for s75, and again in 1877 Ior
s125 II is an ironic fact that at both
of the sales representatives OF the
British museum were unsuccessful
bidders.

JAPANESE INSECT CAGE

The chirping OF crickets and other

breeding these insects and keeping
them as pets. Dainty little cages are
made for the insects, one Of which is

SAFETY IN THIS NAME

There may be nothing in name,
but if you wish to possess what might
be termed really safe cognomen,
call yourself Hugh Williams. Here
are reasons for this choice culled from
sources which can be relied on as
trustworthy.
In the year 1864, on December 5. an
English ship, the Menai, was capsized
in gale while crossing the straits.
There were 81 passengers on board.
Only one was saved. He was named
Hugh Williams.
On the same day in 1885 pleasure
schooner was wrecked on the Isle of
Man. There were 60 persons on
board, including one Hugh Williams
and his family. OF this three score,
old Hugh Williams only survived the
wreck
Again, on August 5, 1920, pic
nicking party, mostly children under
twelve years of age, we're run down
by coal barge on the Thames. Lit
tie Hugh Williams. aged five years, a
visitor from Liverpool, was the only
survivor of the 25 young and happy
picnickers who left their homes SC
gayly in the morning
Finally, on August 10, 1889, Leeds

foundered. Two of them, both named
Hugh Williams, an uncle and nephew
were rescued by some fishermen
They were the only men of that i'll
fated crew who lived to tell of the
calamity.
These incidents may be merely sin
gular or extraordinary condolences
but they are true. Possibly, then
there may be something in name
after all.

is, of course. possible to allow the
fruitbearing wood on what was at
first a low-headed tree to be several
feet from the original head, but with
proper pruning from the start this
trouble can be easily overcome.
An apple tree that is headed high
Is, in some respects, for practical pur-
poses, anything but high; for ex-
ample, the chances are that such a
tree will have the lower branches, at
least, growing at almost right angles
to the trunk, or in other words, in a
horizontal position. When such tree
IS bearing heavy load of fruit, these
limbs will bend down, and are very
likely to break unless props are used.
The use of props in an orchard is at
best sign of very poor orchard man
agement in the past and should be
avoided. 1t is possible to train the
nigh-headed tree so that the branches

pfuned tree we have all the essentials
Tor profitable one. other things be-
ing right. We have a tree that is
easily managed in regard to pruning
spraying. thinning and packing. Good
iapor for doing these things is always
premium, and 1t goes without
saying that the amount of time IL
takes for such an orchard is less than
ior high-headed one. In the second
place it is well-known fact that low
headed trees are far less subject tc
sun scald than high-headed ones.

SETTLEMENT OF NYMPHs

From the age Of four years the girls
are taught to dive, and the craft has
always been jealousy kept In the
women's hands.
Recently some of the men became
discontented and started to practice
diving with the idea of themselves be-
coming pearl fishers.
The women, dreading the Intensified
competition, ordered the men to dis
continue their diving, and, as the
men refused, a boycott was declared
against them.
The men were chased from the
homes and had to take up their abode
In camp outside the village, a bach

their diving.
One day the women attacked them

The housekeeping men interfered and
persuaded the revolutionaries to re.

But the revolt broke out again, and
the women expelled all the men from
their homes, and undertook, In their
clumsy, inexpert fashion, to do the
housework themselves.
The men have petitioned parliament
for their rights. The local police
however, are trying their best tt
patch up the quarrel. A considerable
party of the women are inclined tc
come to terms.

FISHING WITH DYNAMITE


In many countries of the east where
fish is the staple article of diet 1t is
caught in large quantities with the
help OF dynamite. To each stick of
the dynamite is attached fuse which
is fired and then thrown into the wa
ter. The force Of the explosion which
follows stuns the fish, which rise in
large quantities to the surface, then
the natives wade into the water and
catch them easily in their hands. AS
very often the larger fish are only
partially stunned, however, upon be-
ing seized they will often infiict severe
bites upon their captors. so that dyna-
mite fishing is not without its excite
ment in more ways than one.

WHY FLOWERS ARE BLUE

Gardeners often try in vain to pro
duce blue varieties Of certain flowers.
DR.. Kegan points out in knowledge
that the blue coloring depends upon
a special kind of tannin, and as this is
not produced by the plants of many
families, he advises gardeners to
cease from troubling to "evolute" a
pure blue flower on plant incapable
of constructing a tannin Of the par
ticular composition required.
