4 eveI-headed friend of mine who tills the ground tnteIligently, has come to the conclusion that there may be combinations in sunlight which may retard growth as well as promote it. Tn other words Old Sols sole business is not only heating up the earth and making things grow: but sweetening up the earth's surface now and then. or recharging it, perhaps as one would an exhausted galvanic battery. He writes me: Neither the. frosts nor the drouths seem fully adequate to ex- plain the slump in croppage. I'm be- ginning to get out an old theory of mine, that there is some hitherto un- discovered quality in the sunlight comparable, perhaps. to the actinism which was never suspected till pho tography came up-some thus far un- known force which, when abundant, makes for vegetable growth and, when deficient, stunts it." Well that seems to me rational theory. Science teach es us all things move in cycles of time, and that every living thing has to rest. One of the liveliest things in the universe is this old earth, and it's rest year may be the bad crop year for the experienced farmer.

When some men meet with an acci- dent the first thing they do is to look about to see who they may sue for damages. Most of these unfortunates of speculative mind never realize that there is such a thing as contributive negligence or responsibility, and they are equally unaware of the ability of the man of responsibility to barley, or parry. A very good story is told of a youth who rushed into the office of a railroad manager whom he greeted in this offhand fashion: Here, I say. I got cinder in my eye from one of your engines. and it cost me ten shill- ings for a doctor to have it taken out and the eye dressed. What are you going to do about it?'' The manager being a willy man replied pleasantly. Nothing, my dear sir, we have no further use for the cinder and you are quite welcome to it. From a legal point of view the cindeT was not yours. and no doubt you could be proceeded against for removing our property; but we will take no steps in the matter, so you may rest assured" The fresh young man could do nothing but re- treat in good order with the eXper- fence and the assurance, but the ten dollars expense he charged off-it would cost $50 to collect it.

This is an old saying and true one. if you could buy some men for their real worth and sell them at their own estimate you would soon be rich; but everest mating ones self is not such common fault as underestimate ing ones self, which simply means making life the harder. Diffidence is more common than conceit, and makes one more serious trouble. Perhaps the positive and negative relations to life are just as necessary to produce desired results as tho positive and negative poles of an electric battery. Who knows? We are in the midst of life; and we are it! Yet, how little we know of it's source and it's bearing upon us. A life-t time may be a cen tury. or it may be q decade-it is never less than a mystery and a mi rscle to the most intelligent. If one doesn't think well of self who thinks well of him.

1t has to be admitted that the most faithful animal to man is the dog, whether one fancies dogs or not: also, that dogs in character resemble men in being good, bad and indifferent. In ages past when men represented wan dering tribes these two creatures of Gods making-men and dOgs-sensed that mutual interests required that they should be friends. The dog could obtain an easier and better living on the refuse of the savage animals killed by man than he could provide for him. self, and man discovered that the dog could scent animals and hold them at bay so they could be more easily slain and because of his acute hearine give a warning cry on the approach of an enemy, whether it was a wild beast or a man The dog has most of the dis eases man does, and suffers the rheu- matic pains and the toothache from u1- cerated teeth which man endures. and through the ignorance and fear of man these dogs suffering speechless agony are chased and maimed and killed as mad dogs. We fear if dogs could speak man by them would be rated as cruel and senseless tngrate.

Within the past week a brown leg horn hen is reported to have given up the ghost within a few days of being 21, This is surprising, because the, age of the hens like that of the auto mobile, is speculatively placed at the end of it's utility, Most hens are so old at in the egg laying competition that it doesn't pay to keep them, and of the estimated 2,0o0,0o0,000 in the country many of them reach the pot, or the broiler. the first year and as hens go in the market it is not too much to say that she must have survived at least ten generations, and 1t is claimed had the distinction of having been the oldest hen in the country. It is fair to presume that this particular Mrs Bid dy had many agreeable personal quali- ties and owed her long life to the fact that she endeared herself to her owner and was pet. The hen that can ex- cite love enough to keep her alive for 21 years must have been a rare bird d bird worthy of age and praise.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It has been remarked that it is easier te point a thousand men te the right read than 1t is to walk therein yourself. This is what prompted some one to say in the leYg age Its easier than pfeaehiHg," wien defining a soft snap. and the definition became 8 max ina because it was eleetfifying- the spirit of life in it. Some mea's s skill in art never rises above their ability te say things, while the art of others only can find expression in the things they de. You need net be told which class is most useful te society. There is tee much pointing the right way in this world by those who de not seem themselves to be fast to get into the narrow way. Shakespeare said it was good divine that fellows his own instructions" but this need not be confined, to divines, as it applies to leaders in every known cause. It is easier to glow than it is to build a fire under 8 steam boiler, It is up to him who points out the good way to make goodness visible in his own life.

efficacy Of advertising and also to the
reputation of Maury county as a pro-
ducer Of fine stock. That the great
pure food expert should decide to
stock his farm with the product OF
Maury county's best blood shows the
esteem In which this county is hssa

OVER THREE MILLION PAckAG-
Es SENT DURING FIRST WEEK
OF EXISTENCE.
COST WAS RATHER HEAVY
Nearly All the $75o,ooo Appropriated
to Start the New Feature Business
Handled Without Confusion or De-
Iay-Another Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Nearly
two million parcel post packages
were sent through the postofices Of
the fifty leading cities of the country
during the first week of the operation
OF the new service, according to tele-
graphic reports received today by
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
AS these cities handle about one
half of the postal business of the
country, postal officials estimate that
between three and four parcel post
packages were mailed from January
l to January z.
New York City led with record of
448, 200, Chicago followed with 5000
and Boston was third with 174,000
Although the volume of the parcels
post business was greater during the
first week of the service than officials
had expected, the packages were han
died without confusion or delay. To
provide the necessary equipment and
personnel to accomplish this, the
postmaster general used nearly all of
the $750,00O originally appropriated
by congress and he has asked for an
other appropriation Of the same
for expenditure during the re-
of the current fiscal year.
Representative Anderson, of Min
nesota today introduced a bill as an
to the parcel post act SO
that in no instance would rates on
parcel post matter be greater than
the old rates on fourth-class matter.
He claims that the rates on packages
from one ounce to thirty
ounces now are too high.

That Columbia Is one of the great.
est stock markets in the United
States is abunantly shown by the
shipments of stock that have been
made during the first nine days Of
this month. One of those days was
Sunday, leaving only eight business
days during the month.
In the eight shipping days of this
month live stock to the value of $780,
900 has been shipped from this sta
ton. In the shipments there were
$50 mules valued at an average of
not less and probably more than 5000
eachs This means that $178,O0O worth
of Maury county's famous product
kereS sent to the markets of the
south.
Forty horses were shipped during
the same period having an average
value Of 5000 and upwards each. The
horse shipments total more than
$4,000 in value. Within the same Pc
riod 924 hogs of an average value of
more than $50 each were shipped and
thirty head of cattle and twenty-five
head of sheep complete the total,
making the aggregate value of this
class Of freight going from this sta
tion during the eight days of the
month 100000.
This does not take into considera-
ton shipments Of corn, of the pro-
ducts of the mills and of poultry and
eggs, all the products of farms Of
Maury county. Probably il these
were added to the total it would. re-
quire figures of quarter of a mil
lion dollars to represent the value of
the agricultural shipments from the
station here since the dawn of the
good year 1913.
Freight receipts of the local office
for the past year showed an increase
over the previous year of more than
10 per cent. AS the great bulk of
the freight receipts here come from
the farms Of the county it is evident
that the agricultural wealth of Old
Maury is constantly increasing. In
the light of these facts there is small
wonder at the constantly upward ten
dency of the value of lands in the
county.
