ALL ON BOARD LOST
SEALING SHIP WITH 173 MEN
FOUNDERS OFF COAST OF
NEW FoUNDLAND.
fierce BLIZZARD RACED MANY DAYS
Survivors of Another Ship Arrive at
ST. Johns, NJ. r., Tell of Terrible
Hardships--Over 1000 Women
and Children Made Destitute.

st. Johns, N. monday the sealing
steamer Southern Cross, missing since
last weeks blizzard, was officially
posted as lost with her 173 men.
Hope for the safety of the steamer
and it's crew was abandoned Sunday
when the stricken survivors of the
sealer New Foundland told their sto-
ries of the disaster that cost the lives
of n of their comrades
The colony, plunged into mourning
by the greatest tragedy in its history,
waited in vain hoping that the wire
less search might bring some word
from the missing vessel whose loss de-
prives whole settlements of their
breadwinners and rendered more than
1000 women and children dependent
upon charity.
Hope Abandoned.
First hopes based on the stoutness
of the ship faded when survivors of
the New Foundland told of the two
days blizzard and the condition in
which it caught the Southern Cross.
In every church the disaster was the
theme of the sermons. Messages OF
sympathy from the king and from the
Canadian premier were read.
Heartrendlng Scenes.
Attendants at the Grenfell institute
which was turned into morgue, said
that the scenes accompanying the
Identification of the bodies were al
most beyond endurance.
One woman found two bodies claspeC
so tightly in death that they could not
be separated. They were her husband
and son. The lad was wrapped in his
fathers arms as if the man had beer
trying to shield him from the pitiles'
cold
A gray-haired mother, supported b!
her two daughters, passed down th'
long rows looking for her sons. AT
tention was suddenly drawn to then
when the woman fell to the floor in
faint. They had found not only tn,
four sons and brothers, but two cous
ms among the dead.
OF the 80 survivors in the hospita
none is expected to die, but the ma
jority will never be fit for active sery
ice again.

That the rapidly growing northwest

milton in the establishing of regional
reserve centers as announced by the
organization committee is the feeling
of a majority of bankers.
The criticism against the organiza-

ter of disposing of all the banks in
the first announcement and not with
holding at least one for readjustment
later.

Hedges and StraddIeS,

The attention of readers of The
News is called to the article in an
other column explaining the hedg-
ing transactions and the 'straddles'
that now involve the cotton traders
of New York and Liverpool. This is
technical question that is too COM
pick for the average person to under
stand, but the article published here
with goes into as plain a statement
of the transactions as it is possible
to make it in a newspaper. We are
advised that it would be disastrous
to the country for the cotton ex-
changes to open until these straddles
are adjusted; that to open the ex-
changes now, with the demand that
would be made on the traders for
margins, would bankrupt many big
houses. 1t is because of this that no
quotations are being posted on the
exchanges in this country, and Liver
pool is quoting a fixed price for spots
futures daily, by agreement, so as to
protect the market.

LOVE, LIFE AND EUGENICs.

From the Atlantic Monthly
Suppose the eugenIsts could have
their way and Danish love, who
would care to live? What purpose
would life have? 1t would have none.
There would be no life, only an ex-
istence, wearisOme and dull. The
world feels that love is beautiful, it
sees in practice that it is true. Love
makes the world, love keeps it, only
to love shall it be given in the future.
Therefore have poets sung it and
story tellers told of it; therefore do
eyes shine and cheeks burn for it.
Therefore it is the soul of art, OF
music, of literature. Fancy the fu-
ture eugenic novel or play. Scene,
drawing room, with young wO-
man in it. Enter to her young man
led by eugenist doctor, who says to
her. My wise young lady, let me
| introduce to you Mr.. Dash. He has
been carefully selected as your
mate" And to him: Young man
behold the mother of your future
children" Does it not read charm
ingly?

Georgia BIazeS the Way.

The prison commission of Canada,
which recently sent representatives
to several states, including Georgia,
to look over various methods of util-
izing the labor of conyicts, has adopt
ed the Georgia method of working
them on the public roads.
"Old Mother Nature is a kind
nurse to the fellow disposed to get
back to his better SELF reported the
commission. Men who have lived
their lives in circumscribed areas
and have fallen into crime are likely
to receive moral and physical slim
illus from the open air and sun
shine"
The Canadian authorities will abol-
5sh indoor convict labor as far as pos
sible and spend great sums in build
ing up a system of highways witt
their prisoners as labOrers.
Georgia has blazed the way in {
wise solution of the convict problem
and it should be gratifying to hel
people to know that not only othe1
states but other countries are adopt
ing her plan.

Wanted: Grave Diggers,

There is something in an appeal
for recruits to fill up gaps in a fight
ing army that stirs the blood, but
there is nothing inspiring in the call
issued by the French government for
5000 excavators, thinks the SaVan-
nah News. What are they wanted
for? Are they needed to help the
troops to throw up entertainments?
Not altogether. Most of them are
needed to dig graves. Two or three
whole regiments will be armed only
with shovels, and it will be their duty
to put out of sight the mangled clay
that once was braveIy stepping soi-
diers, filed with patriotic desire and
willing, for their country's sake, to
be converted into what the grave dig
gers will find and hide.

A GIRL AND POTATO CHIPS.

From the Andalusia Star
Six years ago Nellie Campbell, a
tfred-out business girl, came from
Illinois to Long Beach, Cal, in search
of rest and health. Like many other
health seekers she could not afford
to remain idle, and she therefore
supported herself by taking charge
of an apartment house while think
ing up something else to do. That
something else" was suggested by
potato chip recipe in the Woman's
Home Companion. The recipe APP
pealed to her.
She tried it and the results were
so satisfactory that she was soon on
her way to a local grocery store with
basket of chips on her arm. She
was told that the store was fully
supplied by a firm in Los Angeles,
but her crisp brown sample won the
day and she left with a substantial
order for regular deliveries of home
made potato chips. But she could
not afford to take chances, the bust
ness had to pay for itself from the
start; and so besides visiting grocer
les and delicatessen stores she took
private orders and even stood on the
street corners distributing samples.
Today the local demand for Miss
CampbeIl's product consumes fifty
thousand pounds of chocolates and
from twelve to eighteen barrels of oil
year. Incidentally her nerves and
sick headaches have gone; she could
not afford them.

Wheat.
BY George Fitch.

Wheat is the oak from which the
staff of life is cut.
If We did not have wheat we would
have to make bread from corn, oats,
rye, barley, sawdust, or bran, and
blonde bread would be unknown.
Wheat is a tall, thin plant which
grows a beard at an early age and
produces a head full of small, brown
kernels worth 5 a bushel whenever
times are prosperous and crops are
reasonably short.
This year the United States will
produce 9OO,000,000 bushels of
wheat worth $75O,O0O,OOO. This
sounds like a good deal of money
until we reflect that the American
automobile bill for the year will be
about 100000. Many a farmer
who has raised more wheat this year
than ever before is going to be able
thereby to pay for his last years
automobile and order new one.
Wheat is usually sown early in
the fall. Then the farmer spends
the winter praying for snow, rain,
cold, warmth, thaws and freezes in
the proper proportion. In the
spring the Theat comes up without
help, and all the farmer has to do
is to sit on the fence and watch for
rain clouds.
Raising wheat requires less labor
than almost any other department of
farming. But it takes a strong con-
stitution to do the proper amount of
worrying.
Wheat is greatly beloved by all
caucasian nations because of the fine
white -four which it produces. 1t is
also highly esteemed by the chinch
bug, the hessian fly, the army worm,
the grasshopper, the seventeen-year
locust and other hungry bugs. When
a few billion chinch bugs get into
wheat field for a few hours they
make it look like the democratic ad-
after the oftice-seekers
have done their worst.

Official statements printed in the
,..,rront issue of the Observer show
that two Moultrie banks have depos-
lis of more than 100000. We
can't imagine that the people down
there are pestered much over the
European war. The explanation is
simple. too. Colquitt is one the few
hog and hominy counties, and instead
of devoting all of their energies and
resources to raising cotton the farm
ers are diversifying their crops, rails
ing cattle and hogs and building
packing houses. There can be no
hard times and very little distress
where that is done.

A Railroads Good Work.

The Central of Georgia railroad,
which in recent years has been one
of the greatest agencies in the ag-
ricultural anr industrial develop
ment of the sections it trayerses, has
now started a movement to encour-
age the raising of beef cattle.
During the past three years the
Central has conducted numerous test
or model farms in Georgia and Ala
bama as object lessons to the farm
ers. and has also been encouraging
the cultivation of corn by giving
prizes of pure bred pigs and brood
mares to boys corn clubs. Now it
has announced its purpose to give
blooded shorthOrn Durham bulls as
prizes next year. In all the territory
tributary to it, therefore, We may
reasonably expect that there will be
great interest manifested in raising
beef cattle.
The Savannah News, through
which this new movement was first
announced, says it isn't the purpose
Of the Central to urge the abandon
ment of cotton as a crop, but to use
its influence to bring about diversica-
ton of crops. Its boys corn clubs
will be asked next year to raise four
crops on three acres, one being de-
voted to cotton, one to corn and the
third to winter oats and hay or cow
peas. But the prizes will be short
horn Durham bulls, and it is certain
that these prizes will draw attention
strongly to cattle raising. 1t is a
safe prediction that the prizes will
be not only appreciated, but will
bring results that will be of inesti-
mable value to the state.
The boys of Terrell county have
heretofore shown their ability to
capture prizes, and The News shall
be disappointed if one of these bulls
does not find a home here. Let the
boys begin planning now to that end.

Pricing Lightning.

A Belgian engineer has calculated
the amount of electrical energy that
is expended in a stroke of lightning.
He says by measuring the magnetism
in certain rocks composed of iron ore
he found that the current of light
ming that produced the magnetism
was certainly one of at least six
thousand amperes, and probably
more, for the rock was some distance
from where the lightning struck.
But taking that low estimate of the
strength of the lightning stroke nc
found that the current necessary tC
produce it would be equal to about
1880 kilowatts. In Brussels
where the rate for current is ter
cents a kilOwatt, as it is in many 9th
