CONVICTION, Ga, Oct 2S.-The thir-
ty-third anncal convention of the Geor-
gia w. C. T. U. was called to order
Wednesday by State President Mrs. T..
e. Patterson, of Griffin
The morning was devoted to reports
from the general officers, each bespeak-
ing the great work that has been &C.
complished by the several departments
and the progress that has been made,
much more than in former years. The
state roster now stands: Old unions
1871; re-organized / new unions 10,
making total of 141.
A message of regret over her inabil-
ity to attend the convention was sent
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor and compli-
mentary mention was made of the work
complished by her during the pas,

Secretary Hyman of the Chamber Of
Commerce, has called off the lunch part
OF the program for Friday night and
a smoker will be held at 500 p. m. in
stead of at 100 p. m, as formerly an
nounced. The reason for this was that
SO many of our citizens preferred to go
home to supper and come back, rather
than eat down town.
There will be plenty of spicy bust
ness to come before the meeting that
will make it of enough importance to
cause every member to come back
down town and for once in his life
break the rule of stay-at-homes. Sec
rotary Hyman has three very import
ant matters to place before the mem
bers, and after that there will be held
a Grid Iron" experience meeting when
any member of the Chamber of Com
merce will be allowed to suggest the
thing that in his estimation will bene-
fit the town and help it to grow.

and logical reasons for this method of

tree planting time, unless it is desir-
able to add some manure or fertilizer
to be diffused through the soil. This
is an excellent practice, especially in
poor soil. If the earth is sour, sticky
clay few pounds of lime scattered in
the hole will materially assist in foe
culating the clay and keeping it per-
manently graduated and sweet.
Immediately after the blast the soft
blasted ground should be dug out down
to the location of the charge, where
a hole will usually be found about
the size of a bushel basket. This

Blasting Ground For Tree Planting

Much has been written on how to
plant tree or trees, but if the expert
ences Of scores of famous orchardists
have any weight on the topic, then the
practice of using dynamite preliminary
to planting young trees has fully
proved its merits.
The writer has personally seen spe-
cific examples of the value and excel
lence Of tree planting with dynamite

Great Smoke, Planned For The
Chamber of Commerce Friday

emphatically that this meeting is for
the members only. The roll of mem
bership will be called and members
are expected to answer to their names.
This meeting should be the best at
tended in the history of the Chamber
of Commerce and each member should
study from this date until Friday night
some one thing that he thinks is the
best thing that could possibly be done
by the Chamber of Commerce for
Americas.
The committees of the Chamber of
Commerce will be named in few days
by President Carr S. Glover, as soon as
the membership committee makes a
thorough canvass of the business and
professional men.

Blasting for tree planting is best done
in the fall, because at this time Of the
year it is easier to catch the subsoil
in dry condition. Blasting in the spring
for spring planting, however, is mach
better than planting in dug holes, not
withstanding the fact that the subsoil
is apt to be wet or damp
If the holes are blasted in advance of
the time Of setting the trees they are
left without further attention until

early bearing as tree would that had
had the ground in which it was planted
thoroughly prepared by dynamiting be-
forehand
No tree should be planted over hard
pan or impacted subsoil without first
resorting to blasting, so that the soil
may be made open and porous. Such
blasting not only creates channels, in
creases absorption of soil moisture and
permits deeper roofing, but it also In
duces better growth and larger yields

The convention is being character
iped by the unusual amount OF en-
thusiasm and interest that is being
manifested by all in attendance.

must be filled to prevent settling of the
tree after planting The roots should be
placed in natural position in good top
soil, covered with more top soil and
treaded down firm. The hole can then
be filed to little above the surface
with subsoil.
The fact that nearly all commercial
orchardists use this method proves
that it pays in reduced first year loss,
earlier fruiting and larger and better
yields.

If, in the United States, the North

South also plans its Dixie highway.
Eight states are to be traversed from
Florida To Michigan. and the theory of
the project is that up and down this
finely constructed road tide of tour
ist travel as we'll as marketable goods
will pour that will do much to make
regions north and south Of Mason and
Dixon's line know each sother better.

The Dover tDel.) Index, referring
to the fact that practically fortune
has to be spent in Maryland for a
gubernatorisl nomination, comments
as follows:
The statement going the rounds of
Maryland papers that no Governor has
been elected in Maryland for genera
tion. whose campaign for nomination
and election has not cost him and his
friends at least S5O.0O0, is astound-
ing. This condition reduces the de-
plorable state that no poor man. how
ever able.and worthy. can run for the
Office, or for that matter any other
important Office, in that State. as the
expenses Of candidates for other offices
are proportionstely large Such q
condition should be speedily changed
by statute.
When running for Office Senator
Lees purse strings have never been
tied. His plethoric purse is wide open
now. On this point the News says /:
He (Lee) is roundly criticized for his
lavish expenditures-snd there is
room for criticism" Mr.. Harrington
has declared that if elected Governor
he will do all in his power to have the
law so amended that the poorest man
in the State could be candidate for
the highest office Emmitts burg

American men and women of the
present generation have not been the
best fathers and mothers in the world.
American men have been too busily
engaged in the avid quest of the dollar;
and American women have been too
preoccupied by club work and higher
education. The children have been
left to take care Of themselves. Mrs.
Catharine Booth Cibborn's arraign-
ment of this marked deficiency in our
present scheme of things contains
many heedful passages. When ma
tiOn. or a people. begin to neglect the
most vital of all their interests-the
rearing Of offspring -decadence is in
evitable. That small families are the
rule among well-to-do people. and
large families among those less well
able to care for them is the peculiar
feature of the proposition. AS some
old French philosopher has said. The
stairways of history resound to the
echoes of wooden sabots going up, of
silken slippers coming down"
