Puts The Manure Spreade1
First.

No farmer who has never own
ed or used a manure speader can
have any adequate idea of its real
value or what a luxury, so to
speak, it is to own and operate
one of these machines. With a
spreader it is so easy to haul out
the manure and spread the same
very evenly all over the field and
to do so when it ought to be done
as fast as it is made and a load
accumulates and there is a field
ready to receive it. | think more
about the value Of farmyard ma
nure, and it helps me to conserve
and to accumulate more of it than
| did before I got speader.
furthermore, manure can be made
to go twice as far, and will do
twice as much good as that spead
by hand with a fork. Jordan B.

FrOst's Magazine Opposed
To SenSatiOnaliSm.

Atlanta, March PA severe
indictment of the Atlanta daily
newspapers for sensationalism,
coupled with the qualifying ex-
preston that public taste is also
somewhat to blame, is contained
in leading editorial of new
and interesting Atlanta publica-
ton which has just issued its
first number under date Of April,
1913.
1t is a monthly periodical, en-
titled Frost's Magazine, and is
founded and edited by Jonathan
B. Frost, the we'll known Atlanta
capitalists and literateur. After
referring to the Appelbaum case
and the unfortunate amount of
publicity it has been given, the
editor continues:
''You ask yourself the question,
Why do the newspapers publish
such filth and trash?' The an
swer is, because they sell more
of them. The newsboys like to
cry such papers because they can
sell four of them to where they
sold one containing only good,
wholesome news.
1--WE believe there are many
good newspapers today that
would not publish some of the
stuff they do if they were not
driven to it by their competitors
who cater to sensationalism. If
one of the Atlanta newspapers
should announce tomorrow that
hereafter no sensational murders,
suicides, divorces, etc., would be
published in it's columns, it would
be in the hands of a receiver in
less than ninety days"
The first issue of Frost's Mag
azine is beautifully illustrated
and covers a whole realm of edi-
torial comment, political views,
educational news, romance, fc-
ton and drama.

City Drug Store Fire
Early Sunday Morning

A considerable amount of dam
age was done the fixtures and
stock of the City Drug Store
early Sunday morning which was
discovered about 2 a. m. The
bulk Of the damage was done the
prescription desk and fixtures in
the rear of the store where the
confagration started. Mr.. J. L.
Pittman, proprietor of the store,
gives it as his opinion that it was
the work of incil1diaries. He
stated that the back door was
broken open and that the safe
had been tampered.with.
The stock and fixtures were in
sured, but not in a sufficient
amount to cover the damage.

When Hens Lay Eggs
They Ring Up Kitchen

Waynesboro, March 22.-S. F.
Beeler, a superintendent in one
of the local shops, has devised a
a new method for ascertaining
when his chickens are laying.
He uses trap nests and has each
nest connected electrically with
his kitchen, so that as hen en-
tiers nest a bell is rung in the
kitchen of his house.
Following up the ringing of the
bell Beeler is able to tell which of
the hens lays and which does not.
His records show that one of his
hens laid 81 eggs in % consecU-
tive days, while another laid but
9. The latter is marked for the

Ten Million Dollars
For Life Insurance

Atlanta, March 81. The amaz-
ing sum of $40, 648, 253 was spent
by Georgians in 1912 for life in
surance premiums, and it is but
simple statement of fact to say
that nearly all of this vast sum
went east, making the state just
that much poorer.
For 1912ffty-nine life insurance
companies made returns to the in
surance commissioner with a tota1
insurance in force in the state of
1897, 23O, 403. During 1912, $50,
041, O61 in new business was pro
duced in Georgia.
With the organization of pow
erful and conservative life insur-
ance companies in Georgia and
the south. this huge sum could
be kept in the state, and the
most of it spe t here for improve
ments, investments, etc.
Figures are being compiled as
to fire, casualty and fraternal
companies, and will be made pub
lie shortly.
