AMERICAS NEED.

In America We have had 30
much material prosperity, we
have INDUCED ourselves in 80
much luxury, that we have lost
the spiritual vision of our pill
grim fathers. l say this in full
recognition Of the magnificent
beneflcence of generous philan-
thropists and the noble work
which has been done in uplifting
the sinful and the unfortunate.
But as nation we need new
spiritual awakening. speak
only that which is in the minds
of many thoughtful men. when
! say that the greatest need Of
America today and its only anti
dote against the poison of Social
ism is a great revival of religion
which will turn the minds Of
men away from the considera-
ton of these minor social evils
to contemplation Of their rela-
tions with the Almighty.-Alba

England Society Of Philadelphia.

A GOOD PLAN TO FOLLOW.
City and Country Cousins Swap Resi-
dences For the Summer.

ATLANTA-W. z. Middleton, who
has a handsome home near Druid
Hills in Atlanta, was worrying a bit
this summer over his family's usual
outing. He wanted to get away from
the hot asphalt and the noise, but
ready money was a little short and
his family was rather a large one to
outfit for fashionable resort.
Mr. and Mrs. j. H. Thompson, who
live in a nice little place, didn't have
anything particular to do this sum-
mer, and wished they could afford to
take the children and go to the city
for a while. They were figuring on
hotel expenses and giving up the idea
when letter came.
Here's a letter from Cousin Will
Middleton said Mrs. Thompson.
"They all want to come to the coun-
try for while and ask about renting
a place"
Lets swap them ours" suggested
one of the children. And that is
what happened.
The Middletons packed up and
went to the country and the Thomp-
sons turned over the COW and the
horse and the chickens to them and
hiked to Atlanta They have lived in
each others homes for three weeks,
and their letters say that everybody
is happy, except that Mrs. Middleton
experienced considerable difficulty in
learning to milk the COW and Mrs.
Thompson had a dickens of a time
cooking on the Atlanta gas stove.
That looks like an idea more folks
than the Middletons could carry out
and have a change of air without
extra expense.

A Genius at Raising Corn and Pigs

the native sons of Illinois began to
look upon John Honeycutt as an ed
vocational institution that deserved
watching. They passed the word out
that the city person was a genius at
raising hogs. And the buyers of the
Chicago stock yards passed the word
out also. Thus, before long, through
farm journals John HOneycutt came
to be known far and wide.
The populace of the little town is
proud of the deeds of her favored
farmer.
The neighbors have learned, too,
that for John Honeycutt his market
is his hogs, and to them go every
bit of shredded corn and every spare
potato and every blade of grass.
He breaches that the cardinal sin
of a hog is sloth and his capital glo-
ry his ability to eat. The straight
and narrow, he says, falling into the
vernacular, is for hog the way over
the hills to the slaughter house, and
by the hogs a man sends is he judg-

American Road Congress.

The government exhibit, which will
be a feature of the Fourth American
Road Congress in Atlanta during the
week of November 9Th, will include
a remarkable series of models show
ing every type of road construction
from the military roads of imperial
Rome down to the most modern
types of market road and city 1oule-
ward. Reproductions of the roads
built by the French Bourbons, by
NAPOLEON, as well as the early speci-
mems of macadam road built by John
L. Macadam will make the series his
torically complete. This exhibit,
which is now being prepared by the
United States Office of Public Roads,
will also include a dynamometer
equipment, by means of which the
exact pull required on every type of
road surface can be shown with
mathematical accuracy.
According to Mr.. Charles Light,
business manager of the exposition
to be held in connection with the
congress, many of the states are ar
ranging for educational exhibits af-
fording full information concerning
roads and the materials of construc-
ton. Mr.. Light states that although
the congress is nearly four months
off reservations have already been
made for the display of road machin-
cry, engineering instruments and
materials of construction, sufficient
to fill completely the auditorium, as
we'll as an additional temporary
structure which will occupy the en-
tire street space extending for city
block and two-thirds of the available
space in a viaduct having a length
of two city blocks.
"The expenditure last year for
road construction and maintenance
throughout the United States, says
Mr.. Light, twas we'll over $2O5, O00,-
900 and will soon pass the quarter
billion mark. In view of this great
annual outlay it is almost essential
that road officials, contractors and
manufacturers get in touch with one
another at least once a year under
conditions such as are afforded by the
American Road Congress, which is
participated in by more than forty
great organizations under the lead
ership of the American Highway
Association and the American Auto
mobile Association.

In the Interesting People de-
partment of the August American
Magazine appear a picture and sketch
of John HOneycutt, who lives in Hi
nOis, where he is a leader among
farmers in the business of raising
corn and hogs. He is called the Pied
Piper of Hogdom. Following is an
extract from the article:
"a few years ago a disputatious
blue-eyed printer named John Hon
eycutt immigrated from Chicago to
Amboy, ILL.,, little town ninety miles
to the west.
From the very start the natives
realized that this city person had
ideas. He did not want little farm,
he wanted a section-siX hundred
and forty acres. He did not want a
silo: he did want machinery. He did
not want a threshing gang; he want
ed his own outfit. He did not want
too many barns, and he did not want
party telephone. He did want miles
of stockade fence he did want a wire
to Amboy-so he built the fence, and
one morning before the county COM
missioners were up he helped his own
gang of recruits start private wire
to the town five miles away. When
he came to plant his corn he persist
ed in testing his seed. When he came
to breed hogs instead of one brood
from one animal in one year he want
ed three broods. Often, too, he rails
ed every little pig that came, and
when a carload of them were 275
days old and weighed 275 pounds
he shipped them over the ninety
miles to Chicago.
Not many months went by before
