BOYS CORN CLUBS: THEIR VALUE
ECONOMIC AND EDUCATION

1t is enirely too narrow a view of
the Boys Corn Club work to con-
slider it as merely plan for teach
ing our boys how to raise more corn
per acre. This of itself would, of
course, be of sufficient value to more
than Justify all THAI is being done in
that direction. But there are other
useful and far reaching lessons that
go hand in hand with the increasing
corn yield. The boy who is conduct
ing one of these acre demonstra-
tions is encouraged TO be thorough
to be systematic, to be economical
and to be thrifty. He is taught some
of the elementary facts of agricul-
ture, such as the value of a thorough
ly and deeply pulyerized soil well
supplied with humus, Of frequent and
shallow cultivation, of care in seed
selection, OF system and exactn SIS
in keeping an account of his oper-
ations and the cost thereof, Of prot
iting by the experience OF others in
the selection and application of feru-
izars and numbers Of other related
lessons all of which have a useful
influence upon his future life, no
matter what calling he E.ey finally
select
That work of such useful educa-
tional value should be made a part
of our primary educational system
goes without saying. That it will
be done as rapidly as the necessary
preparations can be made is now
assured.
Chancellor Barrow of our State
University, than whom there is no
more sympathetic and earnest FRIEND
of rural education, commends tn
work most highly. Speaking of the
increase of the Georgia corn crop
by more than 20,O00,OOO bushels
through this and other means, ne
says:
The Corn Clubs and the Can
ming Clubs and the good results
which they have accomplished, arc
the combined work OF the school,
home and industry. And surely indus
try gains by this cooperation when
success crowns the work. This club

portunity to speak in its favor and
encourage its extension.
Food and clothing are essential to
all human beings. How to provide
themselves with these in the easiest
and least expensive manner should
certainly be made a part OF every
childs education And this is what
school extension means. This is what
our corn clubs are helping to do.
But it does not propose to stop here.
It win carry its improvements into
all branches of domestic science,
farm work, sanitation etc.
To the members of our State Leg
islature, and to those who contem-
plate becoming such at the fall cleo
lions, this should be a very vital and
interesting subject of thought. Pub !
lie sentiment is growing so rapidly
towards a better adjustment of the
work in our primary schools to the
needs of the people that it will very
soon compel the attention it deserves
at the hands of our law makers.

CHAPTER II.
Dick RrInas a HOSTAGE.


In Staten island it is spring. Nature
beckons. Across the bay from old
Manhattan come new hosts to taste
agrarian joys. Bob Is happy; James
is In his glory. Seeds are sprouting
in the garden. A bed Of radishes have
thrown up their green shoots, the first
harbingers of the season. Pale sprigs
Of early lettuce are peeping out. Be-
meath the glass frames of the hotbeds
Jumbo tomato plants are creeping up
ward. You can almost see them grow.
Pine sticks supporting empty packets
mark the site of embryo beets, peas
and kohl-rabi, and here is row Of
poles for the delicious lima bean.
Back in her wire prison the Plym-
outh Rock sings and cackles, and be-
side her another fusses and scratches
for her brood Of fluffy chicks. On the
porch of the Reynolds cottage a ca
nary trills and MARBLES, answering the
chatter Of myriad sparrows. In the
kitchen James song browns the clat-
ter of the dishes. Music Is in the
air; life is in the blood. Even Mrs.
Collins has ceased to grumble. 1t is
spring!
The Reynolds dinner is for three

coming the new home is to receive an

Good old Dick" said Jane as she
set his place at the table. 81 do hope
he won't disappoint u.s."
Her fear was groundless. Dick
Meade would not disappoint her, for
he was an atom in the great legion
of the unattached; a bachelor and
alone. He had not formed the habit
of declining invitations to dinner.
Dick was reporter on a morning
newspaper in New York; a political
reporter with leaning toward social
ism and leniency toward drink.
Poor, blue-eyed, boyish Dick, with
panacea for all earthly ills except
his own; champion OF the downtrod-
den, but one of them; an aspiring st.
Patrick longing to drive out all the
hydra-headed serpents Of monopoly
with a wand of words; dreamer of
dreams, but lovable, withal, and a
stanch friend. He and Reynolds
we're almost opposite types and this
very difference in their lives made
them companionable. Dick, also, was
not blind to the attractions Of his
friends young wife. She was charm
ing hostess, he thought. The dulcet
harmony he found in this home often
lulled his own feverish philosophy, or,
at least, upset 1t.
Jane heard them approaching now
and hurried out to the veranda.
Welcome, stranger" she said after
she had escaped from Bobs embraces.

Dick responded with laugh and an
obsequious bow. "Never, fair one; I

rate interests en- route. Thirty cents

with airholes that he concealed. Jane
took 1t from him.

tried to peep into one of the aper-
lures. She ran into the house for
scissors and returning, cut the string.
Within there peered at her from two

TWO SCHOOLS OF
STRATEGY CLASH
French and German Methods Put
to Test.
THEORIES EXACTLY OPPOSITE
outnanklnu Of Enemy Chief Feature
Of German TaetIcs-French System
10 More Varied and Less
Simple.

The clash between the armies of the
French republic and the German en-
pire will prove Of extraordinary In
terest 70 military tacticians for many
reasons. Results should settle, for
some time to come, conflicting princi-
pies Of strategy which at present are
somewhat Of q puxxle.
There Is only one element capable
Of confusing the issue. namely, the
totally different racial characteristics
and temperaments, In 30 far as they
interfere with the practical applica-
ton Of the tactical theories which
have been worked out by the ablest
minds Of the two great military Or
ganizations of these powers.
AS far as can be learned, little fault
can be found with the condition Of
preparedness of both armies of the
Franco-German frontier. The German
forces, II anything. outnumber those
Of France, but when one is dealing in
millions the difference, proportionate-
ly considered, is really not so great
as 1t seems at glance. Even slight
superiority in maneuvering the huge
army corps, and little greater ability
to have them in the right place at the
right time, may more than overbal-
Rnce any discrepancy in the total num-
ber of men in the field.
The German organization is the old
er. Its present system is built on the
foundation supplied by the victorious
armies of the Franco-Prussian war. In
discipline, training, mobilization and
principles Of moving large bodies Of
troops, 1t Is the logical successor that
one would expect to find, making al
iowance for the development of mod
ern weapons, transportation facilities
and equipment.
Both nations have efficient aviation
corps. Germany has the advantage in
the number Of dirigibles, while France
has some 75O aeroplanes already In
commission, against about 400 of the
Germans.
French Artillery Superior.
In the artillery arm 1t is generally
admitted that the French are supe
rior. The gunners are faultlessly
trained, and the guns themselves are
of a more modern, powerful and eff
cient type.
To sum up, Germany outnumbers
France approximately 100000 to 4.
100000 in total war strength. She is
supposed to be slightly superior in
general discipline and training, while
in two special arms, aviation division
and artillery, France has noticeable
advantage. This is how the materials
with which the rival tacticians will
have to work, compare.
Strangely enough, the underlying
principle or spirit of the military or.
ganization Of each nation would seem
to fit the other better. 1t Is the French
who have given the greater emphasis
to complex dispositions Of troops for
purposes Of security and sureness. and
the Germans who permeate themselves
with the idea that simplicity Of tactics
coupled with energy and f1erceness OF
attack, brings success

THE CHARM l OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
 cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is a try ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in hundred is prepared or un- derstands how to properly care for her. self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi- ence with an organism un6tted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and . distinct change in the mother results.
 There is nothing more charming than happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with am- pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial.
 Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and inyigorator of the female organism.
