Anti-SaIoon League Head. Here,
Declares They Show Lack of
Backbone" ."

A plea for more backbone" on the
part Of the business men in the en-
forcement of the law against sale cf
liquor was 'made by DR.. r. A. Baker.
of Columbus, OHIO president Of the
National Anti Saloon League, in an
address at the Wesley Memorial
Church Sunday afternoon.
Liquor is the cause of more law
Iessness than any other agency OF the
devil IN the land" said Or Baker,
and II the business men of the city
would stand up in a manly manner
and determine to stamp out the evil,
II could he done in a short time.
But business men of to-day are
weak -kneed and lack backbone when
ever the prohibition question is APP
preached. They seem to hold the i'm
preston that the abolition Of liquor
viii affect their interests.
Amy citizen who is a member OF 4
social club selling liquor is showing a
lack of backbone He is doing more
to spread the evil results Of liquor
than any dirty bartender who dopes
out the poison over the counter, send %
ing the souls of men to hell"
DIR, Baker urged the foes of liquor
in Georgia to send a representative to
the Senate to fill Senator Bacon s
place who win fight for the people
and not for the whisky traffic.

Little Jack went to school in
Chicago His father came to see
him with frequency that
amazed the instructors and an
irregularity that bewildered them.
Out at Tom Brooks Place" in
Red Eagle. the habitues had
grown used to seeing him turn
suddenly to Jake his grim,
trusty aide, and say: Tend to
things" and take the train out
for Chicago.
Little Jack never came nome.
The place where big men go is
the East" his father told him
What do you want to do. boy?"
Il want to go to West Point

Jack
When his father accompanied
him on the train it was the final
parting with the West. Big
Tom" had decided that anyone
who could make a fortune with
the cards and the liquor in min
ing camp could make a bigger
fortune in New York.
Besides. Red Eagle was becom-
ing city. Big Tom" was be-
coming a big man-too big a
man. He was ashamed of his
trade of professional gambler
ashamed for the boys sake. for
the sake of the mother of the boy
who had died beside him in the
early battle with the wilderness.
He left Jack bluntly. as he was
wont to do. He came to New
York.

time when he was > years old and
had awakened in the night afraid,
and had gone down the creaking
sstairs to a door from which came
the only sounds of life in Tom
Brooks Place" Tom Brooks was
his father.
He had opened the door quite
confidently and had walked ina
little cherub in a white night
gown, he had seen a room full of
men-a room logged with smoke
and choked with the heat of the
coal stove in the middle.
The torn, bleary mica eyes of
the coal stove glared menacingly
into the bewildered eyes of little
Jack But when broad shout
dered roaring "Gordy" Kemp
twho had been winningl spied
him and caught him in his arms
there was no more fear-at least,
until his father big Tom" came
swiftly from the bar in the back
of the room. passing the busy ta-
bles. where men swore and chips
tinkled
Little Jack did not know that
trouble was brooding then. He
had never seen before the look in
his fathers eyes as he caught
him roughly from the arms of
"Gordy." There was pain and
prescience in the look; but Jack
was just a baby boy and he saw
only the tenderness and tears in
it. His father sat beside his bed
and tol him stories Of the "Injun
DAYS until he fell asleep.
When he was asleep his father
went downstairs, and two pufs
OF white smoke, with gold trim

tobacco mist. and they took

Jack was only . then. Now he
was 10. And the ramshacllle bar
room that had dropped like a dis
gruntled donkey's ear against the
only painted building in town, the
railroad station. had taken a new
dress of red and green and had
straightened its tottering shoul-
ders. The irrigation had opened
up" the country, and Big Tom"
Brooks was getting rich.
Still there was one place in the
house where little Jack knew he
must not go.
The richer Big Tom" got the
less happy he became. Some

ton that supplies just the elements

ton and quickly stops itching head

sian Sage-it is inexpensive. You

LANDLORD AND TENANT.

An agreement between a landowner
occupy and cultivate farm belonging
to the former and that each shall fur
nish part OF the seed, implements and
stock and divide the products or re
ceipts from their sale does not create
q partnership, but the relation of land
lord and tenant.
The owner and tenant of a farm
leased for term of years upon an
agreement to divide the produce equal
~ are tenants in common of the crops.
If no time for dividing the crop is
fixed when a farm is let on shares,
the division is due when the crop is
harvested and is overdue after a rea-
sonable time has elapsed since it was
garnered.
A tenants agreement to deliver to
the landlord half of all the crops is
not fully performed until the shares
have been divided and set apart. The
title to crops grown on the land rented
to season cropper and the right to
their possession are in the landlord
until his claims are satisfied.
A choppers share is due only when
the crop is harvested. A cropper has
no interest in the growing crop that he
can sell or mortgage except in cases
where the statutes provide otherwise.

can Farmer"

ASHES GOOD FERTILIZER.

AS the time approaches to clean up
ash pits and bins and to distribute ash
piles, it is we'll to be reminded of the
value of this product.
Coal ashes may be put upon the land
if the coarsest portions are raked or
sifted out, and these clinkers will
serve as drainage or foundations for
walks about the barnyard and poultry
yard.
Fine coal ashes may be worked into
a clay soil with very good effect Of
rendering it more porous as well as
supplying some of the chemicals nee
essary to the growth of plants.
For fertilizing the lawn nothing is
better than fine wood ashes, and if
distributed during the winter and early
spring the result will be heavy growth
of grass.
All small fruits and orchard trees are
benefited by treatment of ashes, and
borers that work around the base Of
the trunks of trees are almost entirely
prevented from entering the bark.
A moderate amount Of ashes and SCOT
worked into the soil around roses
greatly increases the richness and bril-
rance of coloring in the blossoms and
makes fine foliage. Care must be taken
not 10 loosen the roots, as roses like
rich, firm soil.
