them; second. the great need of the south is for farmers. capable of doing intensified farming, to settle upon waste tracts of uncultivated farm lands in Dixie.
 There are now In Georgia at least two concrete propositions which will be made to Belgans
 One is the settlement of n tract of some 1,700 acres of farm land in Lowndes county. Upon showing that families desiring to settle on this land are reliable people 1t is stated that all financial arrangements will be made for them, including transportation. Part of the land Is wooded, and Bel gians settling there will be paid for clearing this land. There is com munity store. at which credit will be extended to those tilling lands on this tract. Options will be given on these lands at their present price. There is a similar plan for settling a large tract of land in Jones county. near Macon, where fifty farmhouses have already been built

A NATURAL HANDICAP.

The Life Extension institute is an organization which is fighting disease through publicity. Its membership includes some of the greatest living scientists and educators. These au- thorities have put forth many rad ical statements concerning alcohol. They declare that the present antag- onistic attitude of several European monarchs towards this "deadening drug is fully warranted by scientific evidence. Alcohol" they say, lis a handicap for nation at war. It is a handicap for an individual in the strug- gle for existence. This is not the Judgment of scientists alone, nor of weddings and faddists, but of the big-brained, strengthened men upon whom has fallen the tremendous bur den of guiding great nations through the greatest crisis in history

FROST" STILL ECHOES.
Statistics Show Enormous Quantity of
 Beer Made In Germany.

Some idea of the enormous quantity of beer manufactured for the use of Bavarian soldiers in the field can be gathered from the figures of the au- thorities of the First Bavarian army corps, just published.
 Munich breweries alone deliver, 1t is estimated, 140 carloads of beer fin kegs and 60 carloads of bottled beer each week. The first contains an average of 1920 gallons to carload and the sec ond $500 three-quarter liter bottles. Other breweries deliver 50 carloads of Reg beer, 1920 gallons to car.
 Engaged in making this beer are the Bavarian State brewery, the Royal Hofbrauhaus and the state owned Weihanstephan brewery, in addition to many private breweries. The army authorities pay 24 marks for a keg con taininS twenty-two gallons and g marks for ease containing fifty three quarter liter bottles

EFFECT OF ALCOHOL.

Dr. T. Alexander McNicholl, sur geon in Red Cross hospital, investi- gated 55,000 school children for the New York Academy of Medicine He found 5S per cent below the standard of intelligence, 17 per cent dullards. 25 per cent deficient, and 16 per cent nearly deficient. Fifty-three per cent of the defectives were the children of drinking parents. Only 10 per cent of the children of abstaining parents were dullards. The family history of 3,711 children were traced for three generations. Of the children of ab- staining parents and grandparents per cent were dullards, while of the children of abstaining parents and drinking grandparents 7S per cent were dullards

AN UNcoMPRoMlsING ENEMY.

Il am the sworn, eternal and un- compromising enemy of the liquor traffic. declared Dr. Billy Sunday, re- gently in Philadelphia. Stand by me-" he pleaded, "in my fight for your homes, your families, and your de- cency. The saloon is doomed; the an- tisaloon sentiment already holds the balance of power in the United States. In Gods good time we are going to sing My Country 'Tis of Thee and there won't be a saloon in it. We might as well try to dam Niagara Falls with toothpicks as try to stem the great tide of temperance reform that is sweeping our country"

COST OF JOHN RARLEYcoRM.

t1OS VT NCFlN LaeNRN>A N ~'hiNt
 The credit side of the account of city with John Barleycorn is very wide ly advertised by the liquorites They endeavor to make the public believe that there is no debit side and far too few communities take the trouble to investigate and discover what is paid out of their treasuries to offset the li' cense money paid in by the saloons. At the instigation of Governor Brum- baugh of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia's account with the liquor traffic has been carefully figured up and given to the public. It shows that John Barleycorn costs the city each year more than $3,000,000; that more than one-half of the expense of the police department of the great city is made necessary by the liquor traffic; that the per cent of expense of other departments of the city government due to alcohol is, sui cides, 75 per cent; home for the in- digent, 60 per cent; general hospital. 35 per cent; county prison, so per cent; district attorneys office, so per cent; clerk of the quarter sessions, so per cent; juvenile court, 50 per cent.
 Such figures certainly reflect upon the common business sense of the man voters of Philadelphia, especially in view of the statement in the report, that "the sum of $3,000,000 is far in excess of the money paid into the treasury for liquor licenses"
 : A similar problem in civic economy should be presented to the voters of every city which tolerates the liquor traffic

FARMERS FROM BELGIUM
 ARE WANTED IN SOUTH.
Colonies Established Already In Georgia
 and North Carolina.

At an immigration conference in Sa- vannah. Ga, one of the principal ques- tons was that of methods of encour- aging Belgian farmers to locate in Georgia.
 This is not the beginning of such movement in Georgia nor in the south. It was started several months ago, with the result that there are now sev- eral colonies of Belgian truck farmers in southern Georgia. Similar move ments have been started in other states, notably in North Carolina, where there are one or two colonies of Belgians.
 This demand for Begians is due to two causes-frst, the south entertains a profound sympathy for the Belgians in the plight the war has brought upon

ROOSEVELT'S OPINION.

Colonel Roosevelt says: There is nothing more absurd than the belief that the closing of the saloon will cause workingmen to lose their jobs. There are few things more important to our social advancement than the loosening of the grip of the liquor in- terests upon the labor movement. The saloon always represents economic loss"

WORTH WHILE

Under the operation of the present prohibitic1 law wonders have been worked in North Carolina. The inn provement can be seen in every city and hamlet, and many men who voted against the present law have since it's operation become convinced that it has been more than worth while" says the Charlotte Times in speaking of the result of prohibition in North Car. olina.

The Little Shepherd.

A warm summer day now is ending,
Soon all will be quiet and rest;
The shadows fall softly around US,
The sun slowly sinks in the west.
On the mountain-side in the distance,
A shepherd-boy sits half asleep;
Unconscious that night is approaching,
Forgetting that stars will soon peep.
His flock grazes peacefully round him,
Though shadows are already long;
The faithful old dog lying near him,
Awaits the command to be gone.
But lost to the world in his dreaming.
This life holds no sorrow nor fear;
In reyerie he has forgotten
His white, fleecy charge feeding near.
But, starting, he gazes about him,
Half doubling the things that he sees;
As softly the notes of the curfew
Are borne to his ears on the breeze.
Caressing the dog that stands near him,
He hastily calls to his sheep;
Then back to the valley they follow
The path that is narrow and steep,
Though darkness is gathering round
him.
He sings quaint melody, old;
His heart beats with gladness when
leading
The snowy flock into the fold.
Each day thus he spends on the noun
tains,
A guide for his wandering sheep;
But night brings his weary steps home
ward
To rest in contentment and peace.
The moss is his couch and his pillow
No downy bed nightly has he;
But lulled by the murmuring brooklet,
He sleeps meath thelow-rustling trees,
The stars shining high in the heavens,
To him speak of beauty and pow'r;
For pure is the heart that is asking
Gods help in this dark, lonely hour.
He prays to Father that loves him,
To guide all his footsteps Alright;
And welcomes the smile of Savior
That softens the darkness of night.
