IT PREVENTS DIVORCE.

From the Savannah News.
Ability to cook may not be of much
service to a girl in capturing hus-
band, but it is very effective aid in
keeping him after he is caught. Such
at least is the only possible c0nclu-
sion to be drawn from argument ad-
vanced by those who are in charge Of
the public school system in Kansas.
In that state school authorities for a
number of years have been introduce
ing domestic seience courses in the
schools as rapidly as possible and
have been keeping their eyes open to
see the results OF teaching the girls
how to cook and, sew and keep the
house clean. They point out that OF
the girls who have taken courses in
domestic science at the state uniyer-
sity, the agricultural and the normal
schools 4 400 have married. Not one
of these girls has yet been in a di-
voree court, and so far as is known
not one is separated from her hus-
band
Some of them are blondes, some
brunettes, some gay and lively. some
quiet and studiOus. in only one par
ticular aae they all alike, and that is
they all know how to cook and keep
their houses in a presentable CBndi-

the domestic science course that can

WHAT ACES. GEORGIA.

From the CoIuhmus LedgeC.
Im view of the fact that Georg1ans
are having so much to say regarding
the numerous products which can be
raised in this state and the further
fact that they are soon to celebrate

hundreds of farmers in the state are
buying.
Salt pork from Kansas Guy.
Canned goods from Maryland
Feed from tAe middle west.
Butter from New York and Illinois.
Chickens and eggs from Tennessee.
Horses and mules from Missouri.
Syrup from Louisiana.
Cattle. and swine from ouu vi the
state.
And this En- spite of the faUt that
they could raise their own swine and
3cattle, salt their own pork, can their
Town fruits and vegetables, have their
own milk and bntter, raise plenty of
chickens and get an abundance of
fresh eggs, grow sorghum and boil
their own syrup and plant alfalfa

ALL MEXICB WELL UNlTE..

From the Macon Telegraph.
In the more orless authentic news
coming from Meydbo during ths7 past
few days nothing is more ominous
than the story that the insurgent
leader Carranza Will refuse to accept
the armed aid of the United States
and will, on the contrary, unite his
forces with those OF HueIrta if Mexico
should be invaded by foreign ane-
my. All the insurgBnt leaders are
said to have offered their services
and chose of their followers to the
federal commander in case of for
eign war. 1t is even reported that
General CarranZa has sent message
to Huerta proposing truce.
Il It should be deeideZ unwiB31y
at Washington to send an army
across the Rio GraHde-because of
the pressure of American and Euro
pean capitalists, and because the OBJ
noxious but plucky Huerta refuses to
obey the command of President VIII
son that he abdicate-let not the
mistake be made Of expecting any

First Bite of Frost.

The snow storm which last week
swept over the territory from the
head of the great lakes eastward to
the Florida line was the worst of it's
kind ever experienced in the month
of November.
Many lives were lost as the direct
or indirect result of the blizzard and
millions of dollars worth of damage
was done All through the territory
affected railroad trains were stalled
and there was intense suffering
among passengers, entirely unpre-
pared for such an outbreak of win
try fury. Western Pennsylvania suf-
fered severely. Pittsburg seems 20
be the storm center and from one
foot to two feet of snow fell. The
snow drffted badly and trolley SER
vice, as well as service on the steam
roads, was badly demoralized. The

The Nations Children,

Much energy and thought have
been devoted to the estimation of our
natural resources and elaborate
schemes have been devised for their
conservation, but until recently that
resource which has more to do with
the future of our country than any
of the others has been neglected. Ref
erence is made to that portion Of
national wealth which is represented
by the children. The national chill
dren's bureau has completed a survey
of the children of the nation, which,
in some respects, will modify precOn-
ceived notions, especially with re-
gard to race suicide, city congestion
and the danger of being swamped by
a wave of unassimilable foreigners.
The compilation, which is based on
the census of 1910, shows that on
April / 5 of that year there were 49,
499,136 children under fifteen years
in the United States, and of these
only 759,346 had crossed the seas.
Children of foreign born parents
numbered 7,225,569 and of negroes
3,665,1O7 leaving nearly 100000
children of native born white pa
rents, or about three-ffths of the 10
tai. 1t is apparent, therefore, that
there is little immediate danger of
national Indigestion arising from an
unduly large invasion of foreigners. |
New England is perhaps the section
most seriously threatened with a
mixed population, but even here the
work of assimilation is proceeding /
with satisfactory rapidity.
One notable feature of the survey !
was the discovery that, in spite of /
the marked shift of population from
the rural districts to the city, the
great majority of the children under
fifteen still are to be found in the
country villages and on the farms.
More than three-fifths of the young
sters of the land live in distinctly
rural districts or villages of less than
$500 inhabitants. This is remarka
bly, satisfactory, and suggests the de-
of providing efficient edu-
cation and a suitable environment
for the country child, who will have
to bear so much of the burden of
the future. A brighter social life,
scientific training in agri-
culture and trades and home-making
are some of the things needed to
give the rising generation its proper
place in the sun and ensure the flu
ture welfare of the nation.

Advising the Farmer.

Everybody advises the farmer. H
gets more advice, and oftener-an'
needs as little of it-than any othe
human being. A case in point is thu
following extract from a recent edi
torial, under the caption of Spend
thrift Farmers" in the Savannah
Press:
THE best advice to Georgia
farmers we have seen this fall is
that from Hon. Dan Hughes, as
sistant commissioner of agrjcult-
ure of the state. 1t is in short
that the farmers because they are
prosperous mustn't blow in their
cash foolishly. He suggests that
the farmer with more money than
he needs to meet his immediate
wants put some of it in the bank
and not invest it in things that he
can easily get along without. The
average farmer is the greatest
spendthrift in the state when he
has the money to spend. He likes
to buy things like lightning rods
and broad brimmed hats that cost
Sc a piece and ride in automobiles
that cost anywhere from $500 to
$4,000. He doesn't stop to think
that good times will not last al
ways and that it is a good thing to
prepare for a rainy day.
The farmer has as much right to
blow" himself for nice, new broad
0rimmed hat as has the city chap,
whose headgear is usually a high
priced derby of the latest block and
| "stove-pipe" for special occasions.
As for automobiles, it is our obseTva-
ion that fewer farmers who can't
lfford them are riding in buzz wag-
ms than any other class of people.
n fact, we cannot recall a single
armer of our acquaintance who has
n automobile that is not amply able
0 own it. On the other hand, We
hear merchants and other
BUSINESS men complain that joy-rid-'I
ng is causing them to carry on their
ooks indefinitely accounts for goods
hat were sold at cash prices. We
now it to be fact, also, that some |
oy riders have put newspapers to
he trouble and expense of several
mes asking them to pay subscrip- |
ION account of $1.00.
1t is a habit we have of advising |
he farmer. Everybody is doing it.
nd the good-natured man that he
!, he takes it good humoredly, and
,oks upon it more with amusement !,
ian resentment. !
