CORN CLUB WORK
WORTH MILLIONS
South Entering New Era of Aerlcul'
tural Production, Declares
H. G. Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- )-That the
Boys Corn Club movement means q
great deal more to the South than
the average citizen has ever dreamed,
is the conclusion presented in an in
teresting interview by H. G. Hastings
of Atlanta, chairman of the agricul
tural committee of the Atlanta Cham.
ber Of Commerce and manager Of the
Georgia State Corn Show, which is
presented annually in the state capt.
tol building.
"We are facing" says Mr. Hastings,
'an era Of agricultural production such
as the world has never before wit
messed Every year since the first
corn club was organized. the move.
ment has seen moro than remarkable
growth. One years record has be-
come Insignificant when that Of the
next year doubled 1t; and by that, l
mean that many more boys have gone
into the work and have vastly In.
creased results not only by their own
efforts. but through inspiration to "a.
theirs, brothers and neighbors until
millions of dollars have already been
added to corn production in the South.
And yet this is but a forecast of
what is to come. There are now be-
ing organized as an outgrowth OF the
corn club work, Three and Four-Crop
Clubs. The boys will plant oats and
cowpeas on their former corn acre.
thus diversifying their crops and re.
newing the soil, while new acre will
be taken for corn cultivation. In some
sections cotton has been added to the
list, on third acre, and the rour.
Crop Club boys have already gone to
work.
Another outgrowth Of the corn club
is the Pig Club. Southern boys have
learned the truth Of the story of the
unGuccessful farmer who sent to o
more prosperous neighbor to buy a
shoat. The neighbor sold him the
shoat, but with 1t presented him a
sack of corn. You have got the
shoat under your arm,' he told the
farmer. but l wan. you to remember
that the hog is in the sack"

IN RUSSIA.

Although the liquor traffic In Rus
sia is a government monopoly, many
men in high positions are doing their
best to lessen it's evil results. The
national duma has had special COM
mittee appointed to consider the drink
question and suggest remedies for the
intoxication that has grown to an
alarming extent. This committee rec
commended that on every bottle Of
vodka there should be a label with
the following inscription: Man! AL
Though thou hast bought this spirit,
yet know that thou drinkest poison
which destroys thee. Before it is too
late, never buy another bottle

FATHER AND fkIEND
New Testament Has Given Us a
Revelation of God Which
Stands to Reason.

Eff the ideas of God expressed In
1 the literature, the monuments and
temples and images o. modern lndla
or China, or of ancient Egypt, Greece
and ether nations seem so absurd
sometimes we cannot help lGu5nlng
at them. let us remember they are
the ideas OF people who never saw the
New Testament and they were Tor
that reason ignorant CT the Deautllui
revelation it contains OF the real
character and work OF Coo, in the per-
son and teaching and the service to
humanity of Jesus Christ.
Even some of the Jews who called
themselves Gods people, and de-
scribed him as we'll as they knew how
in portions of the Old Testament, have
given us some views about our HeaV-
erly Father which distinctly prove
they did not know what theY were
talking about. Some of their notions
about were so vague, imperfect, untrue
and repusnant they are without par
ticle Of value except as disclosing
by what a painful experience man ap-
preached the light.
Need New Testament.
The men, for example, who de-
scribe God as commanding women and
children to be treated with the ut
most cruelty, vulgar and barbarlc
shame. and all for his glory, certain
ly needed New Testament as much
as any heather.
One reason for the belief of mil
liens in the divinity of Jesus is found
in the fact that he has given US a
revelation of God which stands to
reason. The God he has taught us
to see and love and worship and obey
and serve is like father, friend,
comforter and helper in every time
of need. A God who knoweth our
frame and remembers we are but dust.
A king who does not govern with an
everlasting club always in evidence.
but he leadeth US in the paths of right
eousness for his name sake.
Il and my Father. are one," said
Jesus. Would you know what God
is like? He seems to ask See! And
he feeds the multitude at the close OF
weary day as they are all seated on
green hillside, and as If to show
how our Father in heaven answers our
daily prayer. "Give US our bread"
Between the Sinner and Death.
And Jesus stands between the sin
ner and those who would stone her
to death and reveals Cod es telling
meu to look into their ow'. hearts, and
think of their own guilt and after
that lift the scale and weigh all hui
man faults.
Because the justice of our God is
the kind of justice that gives a chance
to all who have done wrong and are
sorry and Will promise to do better.
And Jesus on the cross gives us an IL
lustration of the patience of father
hood which, having loved, will love
unto the end. And so through the
ages faith has deepened that our Lord
demonstrated what he was by what
he did, One of the first illustrious
converts who with all of his learn
ing and social prestige acknowledged
Jesus as his Saviour thus confessed.
Rabbi, we know that thou art a
teacher, come from God. for no one
can do the things thou doest unless
God be with him"-Rev. Frederick E.
Hopkins.

lGREAT MOVEMENT.

The temperance movement is one OF
the greatest of our tine-a movement
by which the people will gain self-reli-

nothing else than the most complete
possible liberation of our people from
the destructive effects Of the use of al
cohol. That nation which is first to
free itself from the Injurious effects of
alcohol will thereby attain marked
advantage over other nations In the

been strenuous one.
With the door of both bedrooms re-.

and nothing was ever so grateful as
the touch of the cool pillow. or half
so soft and luxurious as her narrow

overtaxed nerves in its soothing EN-.

resting place.
She awoke with a start and caught

day without a tremor. Elida she felt
to be well in hand. and Gerald was,
after all, gentlemanly young man &C.,

firmly discouraged. Consequently she
was filed with panied surprise when a
knock on the salon door was followed
by the appearance of Gerald in an i'm
maculate morning suit and smiling.

begged.
Reluctantly she nodded, and Gerald
entered. closing the door softly, noting
that they were alone. He blushed
furiously. shuilled "A moment. and
