Intention OF the Georgia Chamber OF

ceived indicate a large attendance,
Acting Secretary Manager c. l..
Mckinney. in talking OF this school
Friday. said that while everybody in
Georgia recognized that a good
Chamber OF Commerce was poten-
italy valuable asset TO a city. the
general failure OF 80 many had
brought about a feeling of distrust,
especially IN the smaller cities.

ney the basic idea Is all right. but
the fault seems to be in the method

be the exception hereafter, instead OF
the rule.

The Crow Indians are right up with
the times according to the following
story from Montana:
MAN With Beard On, a member of
the Crow tribe. brings suit in the dis
trict court for an absolute divorce from
his wife. Shoots Pretty Things, says
the Billings Gazette. The plaintiff
alleges in his complaint that he has
been inhumanely treated by his squaw
and that the family trouble has been
of such long standing that he now seeks
the courts 10 invalidate the VOW that
he took when he led Shoots Pretty
Things to the little church on the reser-
yatiOn on September list, 1911.
The complaint as filed by the plain
tiff recites the fact that his copper
skinned wife treated him in a cruel and
insolent manner, and that on February
1st, 1912. she struck him and beat
him without any pr0vOcatiOn.
On New Years day Of this and
in the presence of company that had
been. invited to the home of Man With
Beard On it is further alleged. that
Shoots Pretty Things humiliated him
to q GREAT degree by threatening to
break his head bringing her threats to
a close with a cussing of the first class
in which English and Crow Languages
were used with great fuency.
Peace evidently reigned supreme in
the family for q few days for on Janu-
ary ii. the woman, according to the
complaint. threatened to gouge out the
eyes Of the plaintiff in q tiff that oc-

NO PLACE FOR THE SALOON
World of Today Has No Use for
Drunkard, Looking for Efficiency
and Good Health.

Intelligence and education are the
great enemies of the liquor habit
When man discovers what alcohol
does to the inside of the stomach and
to the entire digestive tract, his en-
thusiasm for drink wanes material
ly.
Fifty years Of temperance educa-
ton is bringing about results. The
old man who drinks liquor for his
stomach's sake and boasts that 1t
makes for good health has been rele-
gated to the background
The commercial game requires the
same clear head and steady hand that
count in all the sports, and the man
who undermines his constitution and
reduces his endurance by dissipation
cannot keep up the pace in the bust
ness world
AS the world is organized today is
has little place for the saloon and the
drunkard 1t is looking for efficiency.
1t demands HEALTHY Nashville Tennes-
seean.

CLOVER MIXTURE FOR SWINE
Combination Of Alsike With Either
Common Red or Mammoth
Gives Good Results.
By r. G. wEATHERsroNE)

NBy X. ". NEAIl1ERSIONE.D
A mixture of alsike with either the
common red or the mammoth clover
will give more and better pasture than
any one of them. The value of thel
pasture depends on the number Of
leaves rather than on the stems. The
per cent of the leaves is greater in!
alsike than in the medium and the,
medium has a larger per cent. OF
leaves than has the mammoth, when
compared with the stem. This alsike,
is finer in stem. too, and renews leafy
growth after eaten down better than
do the ranker clovers. 1t pays to SOW,
about ten pounds of medium and five
pounds of alsike to each acre.
l have noticed that shoats prefer
alfalfa to any of these clovers. This
suggests that they would enjoy mix
ture of clover including alfalfa. AS
it is less hardy at the start it might
be we'll to defer sowing the alfalfa
until the season of severe frost has
passed.
Once established, alfalfa will endure
as much hardship as any of the clo-
vers named, yet none of them will en-
dure grazing when frozen or even
when covered with frost. A little
care to keep frost off until the frost
has disappeared will prolong the use
fitness of the clover pasture. Delay
in turning on in the spring until May
will be profitable.

SALOON IS AN EVIL BREEDER
Commissioners of Washington County
Refuse to Grant License for
Liquor Selling.

Representatives Of a firm of con-
railway recently appeared before the
commissioners of Pierce county, Wash
ington, to protest against issuing IL
cense to saloon in the vicinity Of
their work. They stated that they
could employ large force, many In
their crews being the heads of fam
lilies, and receiving good wages; they
volunteered to pay the amount of the
license In order to avoid having liquor
sold In the vicinity of the work, as
they deemed it demoralizing to the
men and dangerous to have employed
on the job men under the influence Of
liquor. The county commissioners
unanimously complied with the re-
quest and refused to grant the liquor
license, saying they did not care to
consider any bonus for doing SO, as
1t was apparent to them that the sa-
loon would be an evil breeder and a
non-producer"
The West Washington White Rib
bon Bulletin thus pertinently COM
menus.
If the above is the deliberate judg-
ment Of men representing large bust
ness interests, why should 1t be said
that business men are afraid of pro-
hibition? If the saloon is good or de-
sirable anywhere, it's good and desir-
able everywhere. If it is bad for men
building a railroad, 1t is bad for men
doing any kind OF Work. Why not
prohibit It everywhere and give peo-
pie sober chance to see that they can
live without that abomination any
where and everywhere. II the whole
nation could be sober for one whole
week, not a brewery, distillery or sa-
loon would be tolerated ever again in
our borders as long as the world
stands"

STOCK CHUTE QUITE USEFUL
Convenient Farm Implement Easily
Moved by Addition Of Two Dis
carded Mower Wheels.

Perhaps every farmer has occasion
to load some animal into wagon and
many of them prepare for this by
building a stock chute. Frequently
these chutes are built as permanent
fixture in connection with the feed
lots, but they are often made so that
they can be transported from one
part of the farm to another. When a
chute of this kind is built heavy and
strong enough to support the weight
of mature hog or a large calf it
becomes a clumsy thing to move. Mr.
R. J. Linscott, owner of the Rosalpba
Jerseys at Holton, Kan, has solved
this problem of inconvenience in a
very easy way. The wheels and axle
used in making his stock chute are

Stock Chute on Wheels.

parts of old machinery found on the
farm, the wheels being taken from an
old mower. The upper end of the
chute is provided with two strong
iron hooks, which are sharpened so
as to engage the bottom of the wag-
on bed and prevent slipping after the
animal starts upward. With such an
arrangement there is no difficulty in
building a chute of ample strength
because the question of weight has
relatively little Importance The chute
can be hooked on behind the wagon
and hauled to any part of the farm.
