Georgia Farmers
Move frequently

Washington, D. C.-In com
piling data for the last Federal
Census, the enumerators asked
every farmer i n Georgia this
question: =" How long have you
lived on the farm you now occu-
py?" This question was answer
ed by 264, 8O5 of the POI, OPT farm
operators in this State.
More than 1O8, 900 stated that
they had occupied their farms
only one year or less; II, 224 from
2 to 4 years; Sc, 913 from 5 to 9
years and 49, 10 years and
over. The most restless class of
people in this State is the Tenant

Lawyers and Divorce.

In Kansas City, they have a divorce proc
tor whose duty It is to investigate as many
applications for divorce as possible. During the
last term OF circuit court $50 cases were filed,
which Is said to represent heavy increase So
marked is this increase that, according to the
Star, "the divorce cases are slightly more than
25 per cent OF the total number of suits
Nor Is Kansas City unique in this respect,
though It may lead in percentage of. increase
over some other cities. The distressing fact is
that the Increase in divorce is noticeable the
country over and down at Kansas City 1t has
been concluded, as II has elsewhere, that the
ease with which divorce may be obtained has
a lot to do with 1t. First. It is easy money"
for lawyers who covet that line OF practice.
"The divorce end OF the law has come to oc-
cupy almost the entire time OF some law firms, "
again says the Star. Cut away the divorce
fees and their income would be almost nil"
Another collateral question. Does divorce
generally lead to good results7 Kansas Citys
divorce proctor, w. w. Wright answers that
decidedly in the negative, adding:
1.-THE relief hoped for is not found. The woman
usually marries again. Tho second time II Is for a
homo and seldom Ia the love part OF II considered.
Again divorce becomes a habit IL il the frequent
thing in divorce learn that the husband has
been married two three times and the wife a
similar number OF times The law which makes
divorce easy Is to blame
Some day. perhaps members OF the bar will
see this and exert an influence against It. for
lawyers not only construe and administer laws
in our country, but make the laws as well.

The Fall of Antwerp.

Regardless Of its effect on the ultimate for
tune Of war, the fall OF Antwerp before the siege
and assaults OF the Germans must be regarded
as another feather in the cap Of Emperor VIII
liam and his hosts. The transfer by the Bel
gians OF their seat OF government from Brus-
sells to Antwerp when the established capital
became untenable against the invaders, ac-
centuated the Importance Of the fortified port
within whose protecting walls they evidently
considered themselves safe. This confidence is
now proved to have been illusory, while the
German siege guns have again demonstrated
their superiority as engines of destruction over
the resisting power Of the most up-to-date and
perfectly equipped permanent Qualifications.
II is reasonable TO assume that the failure
Of Antwerp to withstand attack successfully
means that no fortified stronghold in the thea
ter of war could be expected to hold out much
longer under similar conditions. In other
words the progress OF the Germans in clearing
their path OF obstacles which we're counted in
superable, only exemplifies the comparative use
iessness OF fortresses and bastions to interpose
more than a temporary check to their invasion
Aside from It's military aspect, the pitiful side
OF Antwerp's bombardment Is TO be seen In the
loss OF life and property sustained by It's peace
full inhabitants, the destruction OF their homes
and the parayzing OF their industries. The
terrors of in all its hideousness have been
visited upon the women and children, the old
men, the sick and the halt, all helpless to ward
off the affliction. Even those who we're able
TO leave the city in time are doomed to endure
hardship and loss brought on them by no fault
OF their own. Perhaps 1t would have been bet
ter to have surrendered Antwerp on demand as
Brussels was surrendered rather than pay the
price OF futile resistance. For who can say
that the fall of this beautiful Belgian city has
brought the war appreclably nearer its end?

Constrnotirn Relief Work.

The prince Of Wales evidently has some ex-
cellent ideas as to the character Of the assistance
the poor Of his nation most need in consequence
OF war conditions Speaking Of the fund bearing
his name, already amounting TO $15,O00,OOo, he
says:
trust that the portion Of the fund which will be
applied the relief civil distress may, far
possible. flow into productive channels, such as as
sisting schemes for male and female employment and
perhaps industrial training for Il IL repugnant to
be TO the recipients that assistance should
be distributed only in the form Of doles.
This strikes the keynote Of rational philan-
thropy. Much worthy effort and money are often
wasted simply from misguided application.
The sort OF relief that counts most is always that
which helps the recipient to help himself
England, as well as other countries, Of
course, has its chronic helpless who require
direct aid, but they are not included in the vic
tins OF misfortune for whom the prince Of Wales
fund is intended. War or peace, the real need Of
the armies OF unfortunates idle and jobless is a
fair chance to make decent living on a basis of
self-respectlng independence. And this object
lesson may well be needed by us on this side of
the water well, as by other warning nations

Menu VS.. Bill.of. Fare.

From Chicago comes word OF the outbreak
OF a new war--a war which believe will APP
peal to popular sympathy and support--a war
on fancy foreign names on the menu card to
disguise simple dishes otherwise easily recog-
nizable One prominent and fashionable hotel
restaurant is said to have actually broken the
Ice with bill Of fare in plain English from
which what was formerly ordered as "Canape
Russo" is now served as Caviar on toast" and
what used to be "Filet Mlgnon, Stanley" an
swers TO the call OF "tenderloin steak with
horseradish sauce" and so on down the list.
The crucial question is, however, whether
people with plethoric pocketbooks, supporting
a pretense to.eplcurean eating, will be willing to
pay skyscraper prices for culinary connections
without the Imported label. To put 1t more
plainly will a "tenderloin steak with horserad-
ish sauce" extort as much money as "Filet Mig
non, Stanley" although identical in ingredi-
ents and composed by the same kitchen artist?
Hope as we may for the successful expulsion of
the menu card masQueraders, we must confess
to fear that they are too strongly entrenched
to be easily routed

Good Americanism.

Am l my brothers keeper?' certainly is
receiving an affirmative answer today by Ameri-
cans with reference to the newcomers from
foreign lands, especially those preparing for
American citizenship. We are no longer con-
tent to allow these sturdy folk to grope their
way through the dark and devious paths of ex-
pertinent and experience to that goal unaided.
Very wisely our people alert to their own
responsibilities in the matter and exerting
splendid efforts to make the best Americans of
all those who come 10 cast their lot perma-
nently among us. The mutual advantage, OF
course, is obvious.
In this connection 1t is gratifying to note
the additional use to be made one night week
Of our public library for the teaching of history
and civil government TO prospective citizens.
This coming on top of such rudimentary in
struction in the English language is given
through the Young Mems Christian association
educational department and the public night
schools, is the kind of philanthropy that
appeals to practical and patriotic men
and women. 1t Is especially timely now to
enlarge upon this work. When we stop to think
of how many OF our own natve-born Americans
are deficient in the knowledge of their own his
tory and civil government, we will not become
impatient at the foreign-born for requiring spe-
cial instruction along these lines. 1t is good
Amercanism and deserves to prosper

The Art of Buying.

Every successful merchant will emphasize
the Importance of buying as factor in his
business. All large mercantile establishments
particularly the big stores, have their genluses
and artists in buying. Without the right kind
OF buying all the economy and science at the
command OF the merchant in disposing Of his
goods would not count for par in the years bust
ness
II commercial institutions pursued the in
different. haphazard methods of buying that the
average householder does they would probably
soon go broke. Yet with all our talk about high
prices, we persist in ordering instead Of buy
ing" as 1t has been expressed in New York,
where through what is known the mayors
committee a campaign OF education on How to
buy" has been launched for the benefit Of all
the plain people Circulars of information are
distributed In the schools, and by the children
carried into 1,0O0,O 900 homes These circulars
are said to contain valuable advice, which If
followed will help bring down many house
holds expense account. One lesson, of course,
will hardly teach folks to adjust themselves to
the really economical way of buying, but peri
odic hammering along this line will surely in
time produce visible results.

No ExtOrtion at San Francisco Fair.

Recalling our own Trans-Mississippi exposi-
ton, which taught anew that in this respect,
eternal vigilance is the price of safety, 1t is in
teresting to note the extra precautions that are
being taken to prevent visitors to the California
fair from being gouged and imposed upon by
excess OF greed. The authorities of both San
Francisco and San Diego remember the COM
plants Of other expositions against extortionate
prices exacted for indifferent accommodations,
and as a consequence they aim to forestall repe-
ttion by organizing the owners Of hotels and
apartment houses into sort of clearing house
for the proper handling and distribution of the
expected influx of guests The hope is that by
this system exposition visitors will depart with
a sweet taste in their mouth instead OF snarls on
their lips"
