WARDEN TO TEAR UP
FISH NETS IN OGEECHEE
Leaves For That Section on Complaint
That Shad Are Being Illegally
Taken With Nets.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 31.-Having re-
ceived many complaints to the eff
feet that the Ogeechee river about Mil.
len and below there was filled with
many nets, taking shad illegally, Game
Warden Mercer left here for that Sec
ton to make a personal investigation
of the reports.
He proposes to get him boat 1T
Millen and float down the river tearing
up all the fish nets he runs across. Il
there should be more than the one
boat can hold he will get out, dry the
nets and then burn them.
Warden MERGERS next business will
be to locate the owners of all such
Illegally used nets and begin prose-
cution. In this good work he will
have the aid and cooperation of sew
eral prominent men in that section
who are the compliments.
1T is just as important to protect
the fish in our streams as the game IN
the fields and woods" said Warden
Mercer. Streams are being depop-
ulated of the best fish by the use #
nets and other illegal methods. and
shall do all in my power to stop it.
Maybe few stout prosecutions and
fines will help"

FREE LIST NOW
IS Under FIRE
To Reproduce Schedule Kill.
ed by Taft

Washington, D. c., Jan 81 - The
free list of the tariff furnished the
concluding chapter today of hearings
before the house committee on ways
and means. The free list, the admin
istrative features of the Payne-AI-
drich law and miscellaneous affoirs
in connection with customs duties
were under fire, with prospects for
winding up all of the tariff hearings
tomorrow Half a hundred witnesses
were on the program.
The free list covers articles whose
estimated domestic production in 1911
was $1,19O,OOOOOO and consumption
$1,159, 100000, out of a grand total
Of $22,014,OOO,OOO production and
$2l, 528,00O,000 consumption of ALTAR
ticles in thirteen schedules and free
list of the Payne-Aldrich law.
In 1911 congress passed and Presi-
dent Taft vetoed the free list bill
framed by Chairman Underwood's
committee That measure propose ]
to put on the free list agricultural i'm
plements, cotton bagging, cotton ties,
leather, boots and shoes, fence wire,
meats, cereals, breads, -four, timber,
lumber, sewing machines, salt and
other articles. President Taft's veto
was on the ground that the bill would
diminish the revenue by from ten mil
lion to fourteen million.
Democratic leaders now figure on
putting on the free list at the coming
extra session substantially the same
articles that were on the original free
list two years ago.

MAKING SCHOOLS PRACTICAL

American educational systems are
critical test as to their
practical value and permanent useful
ness. 1t is time of unrest ami
change in the field of modern educa-
ton that promises to evolve into a
much better period for American
schools and educational ideals.
A noticeable trend in modern edu-
cation is the matter of making schools
practical. Too long already has the
school and the office, workshop or
whatever other place in which the
graduate will labor, been divorced
from each other. This change is be
coming vital one already in Amer
lean education, just as it has practi-
calIy reyolutionized German school
ideals.
The failure of modern schools in So
many instances to educate students
for anything like the life work into
which they intend to enter has long
been the butt for the satirist and joke
maker and the wonder of American
men and women with practical and
sensible ideals Why should the boy
who is to be a worker in a shop be
crammed with Latin and Greek, while
the practical elements of mechar-
ical education are denied him? There
is no reason-except the inability of
schools in many cases to provide
proper equipment for the instruction
of these students
Even that however, is being over
come in the modern system, which is
notable for its application of common
sense ideals in a common sense man
ner. Already some high schools Of
the better systems are teaching their
students in a practical manner by al
lowing them to go to school one week
and to work in shops, with engineer
ing gangs and in other practical fields
alternate weeks In thi manner the
student learns in school principles
which he Immediately puts into prac-
tice in such a manner that he cannot
forget them. He assimilates these
principles and makes them part of
himself and his life. In this manner
and only in this manner can ANY
theories of education be made worth
while, be they industrial or classical.
This is in way evival of the old
apprentice system of education, than
which, when properly applied, no
better plan has ever been devised.
Graduates cannot except in a few
cases, jump from the class room to
the factory, office or other place of
employment. There is need of much
practical, first-hand work to bridge
the gap between the two. That is the
need that the modern system seeks to
supply When education is approach
ed in this practical manner, the higl
school curricula will naturally slough
off many branches that will prove
themselves cumbersome and useless
and education will again come into its
own, rejuvenated and broadened be-
yond the scope which it has known IN
the past

THE TRUCK FARMERS OF TIFF
ATLANTA Journal)


Forty farmers Of Tiff county, rep
resenting an ownership of some ten
thousand acres of land, have organic
ed a Truckers Association" through
which they purpose to cooperate in
matters of common interest and ID
make truck farming a thoroughgoing
and profitable business.
This plan resembles in some re-
spects that of the Fruit Growers ex-
change, which has proved so service
able to Georgia orchard men. They
will act together in the purchase OF
supplies, in Grating and shipping their
products and, to an extent, at least, in
marketing them, District societies
auxiliary to the county organization
will be formed, so that definite ant
detailed results may be obtained; and
what is particularly interesting, thC
members will keep in constant and in,
innate touch with sources of scien
tific information, such as the State Col
lege of Agriculture, in order that their
methods may be always up-to-datt
and accurate.
Such an enterprise merits the heart
lest good will of all Georgia. The
same spirit of progressive agriculture
that has led to intensive cultivation
and diversified crops will inevitabl,
bring the state a greater number o
small farms and truck farms. These
Tiff county men have shown them
selves abreast the times and their re
ward will doubtless be rich and en-
during not only to themselves but Il
/ the entire commonwealth.
The fact that their undertaking i.
to be conducted as a business, witt
! the same study and concentration
that marks the successful banker o.
merchant is bright omen of il
success; and when such enterprise
has succeeded, it will be followed by
scores of others.

What this will mean to the develop
ment and prosperity of Georgia s
beyond reckoning For when the state
devotes itself with true foresight and
energy to the production of large and
varied food crops instead of connnlng
itself chiefly to cotton, then the treas
ure of its soil will be realized and its
due place in the economic life of the
country will be established.
Denmark is proportionately one Of
the richest corners of the earth
though its land is naturally arid and
it's climate uninviting. The secret Of
its wondrous thrift and stability is
simply the fact that it is divided into
many farms each of a few acres, but
intensely and intelligently cultivated
Denmark has set itself to producing
food, either in the form of meat or
dairy products or garden truck, and
so despite its smallness and its APP
parent disadvantages, it is known the
world around for its prosperity.
There is no limit to what similar
purposes and methods can accom-
plish in Georgia where the fayors of
nature has been so prodigally be-
slowed. 1t is evident, too, that on"
people and. indeed those of the nation
at large, are awakening to these fer
tile opportunities. In many counties
and especially those of South Geor-
gia, the trend is steadily toward small
farms and toward the raising of food
stuffs.
The South Georgia farmer who last
year after ploughing up his entire COT
ton acreage and replanting with po
tatoes, made a snug fortune on that
one crop was not an adventurer or a
miracle worker, but simply a man Of
common sense and energy What he
accomplished, others can accomplish
and as this truth is realized and put
t. test. the state will develop more
and more rapidly.
1t is the truck farming possibilities
that are bringing us new settlers each
season from the West. A steady tide
of desirable immigration is now flow
ing Georgiaward; and close behind it
will come new streams of capital ami
investment Men with money to lend
are finding that they can place it more
securely and more profitably in Geor-
gia and the South than anywhere else
il the Union Simply because the nat
mal resources of this section are
more abundant and more easily con-
lerted into wealth.

LITTLE TALKS ON BABYOLOGY

I If you are very careful. you can even

hair brush dipped in melted vaselinS
| know a man and wife whose looks
were married by scantF lashes and
co!orless brows When her babies
came, this woman determined to- do
something to improve this unfortunate
inheritance. She rubbed vaseline INTO
the brows. had the lashes cut twice
before the babies were three months
old asking the family physician, an
excellent surgeon, To DO this for her.
and then she touched the roots OF the
lashes with melted vaseline. Her chill
dren. now all in their teens, have Beau
tiful brows and lashes. Hi
II is absolutely criminal tn let
child distort its mouth by spckiag
thumb or fingers Let no mother de-
ceive herself by saying that the habit
is the child's great comfort, natural
soother and pacifer. In later years
that child, especially If it he girl,
will call her mott err TO task for per
hitting the indulgence.
| have seen mothers actually start
babies in this fatal habit of finger
sucking by giving them what is known
as a "pacifier." or rubber nipple op
ring. 1t is natural for a baby to
suck at something. He is born hun
CRY. When he is very young. he viii
continue making sucking motions with
his mouth after the breast or bottle
has been taken from him. II he hap
pens to whimper. the mother thinks
the little sucking motion must be sat
isfied, she gives him the pacifier or
sticks his thumb in his mouth,
and the mischief is begun.
The tendency to suck the thumb is
easily checked. From the very start,
the thumb or finger and lay
the little hand firmly down at the
baby's side as he drops asleep. IL he
persists, then Immediately, not after
the habit is almost iron-clad, have
him sleep with his hand in a mitten.
It is never too soon to correct this
habit Better a crying baby today
than a deformed daughter ten years
from now. Misunderstanding thrusts The
teeth out, and in some cases gives the
entire lower part of the face the shape
Of a rabbits.
Many mothers ask me about badly
shaped hands, and stubby fingers.
Even these can be improved or rem
edied by patient care right after tie
1aby is born. Smooth them firmly,
steadily into shape a few minutes at
time. every time the baby wakens.
IF course IL bones are mis-shapen
hey cannot be changed. but the stubby
niger can be improved by pressure
( taken in time. But il does no
rood to rub the fingers one day and
&. them go three. II must be done
regularly and gently, every
lay while the flesh, bones and nails
re soft.
The next talk will be on fresh air
nd exercise for the baby. ~
