MAKING
 CuNCoTToN

The other day at the close of a week, the guncotton works at City Point, Va, paid off a pay roll on which there were 17.000 names. During the week gun- cotton had been turned out at the rate of 750,00 pounds a day.
 Standing alone these are two re- markable statements They become yet more remarkable, however, when it is stated that. on the last day of October, 1914, on the area covered by this plant there was no sign of powder or gum cotton factory.
 Of course this gigantic industry is a consequence of the war and all the product it can turn outp robably is sold before it is manufactured to the war ring nations abroad. But so great is the demand and so large the profit of it's output that the plant will have paid for itself several times over before the war comes to an end, and the foreign demand lessens or ceases for the gun cotton necessary to load the torpedoes and high explosive shells which are dominant factors of the battles on sea and land.
 However opinions may differ on the question of the sale of munitions of war, Americans may find some comfort in the demonstration made at City Point of American capacity speedily to develop plants for the manufacture of Ammunition. The City Point factory is only one of the many plants which have been established since the war to turn lit out It's enormous product is elo- |quent of American resources. There is. however, some consolation in knowing that this war is demon- strating how quickly we could put our selves in a state of preparedness when the occasion arises. An adequate pick ct force of sea going submarines ought to shield us long enough to accounts late stores of ammunition ample to meet any demands of our defences.

Of great Importance, but the good
roads problem will have to be par,
TALLY solved before we can get the
right answer to many others.
At every farmers club and grange

get back into the battle once more,
even if it is an old struggle. We may

bad roads cost us yearly, but pos.

GOOD
ROADS
AGITATION FOR GOOD ROADS
Less Being Said About 6etterment OF
Public Highways Than Two or
Three Years Previously.

What has become of the widespread
good-roads agitation of two and three
years ago? Is it dying down ana CIV
ing way to something else? have
bur roads been improved to such an
extent that we can let up on the cam
paign that swept back and 1orth
across the country or are we simply
getting tired of it and somewhat IN
different about it?
There is no doubt in my mind that
less is being said ABOUT the necessity
for lettering our roads than was SAID
two and three and four years BACK
writes S. G. Varnum in Farm Prog
ress. l must confess that in three
states l have visited within the last
six months ! have seen nothing
to convince me that we are even ap-
preaching the good roads millennium
l believe there is more work being
done in some communities than was
done few years back, but in others
there is little or no change. In some
neighborhoods l am sure there mas
been a let-up in the work since the
crusade started to die down.
1t all turns back upon the propo-
sition that what is everybody's busl-
ness Isl nobody's business We all
have a spasm Of the good roads fever
and pitch in and help out for awhile
and then our attention is gradually
taken up by something else. We be-
gin to neglect our part of dragging
the roads and cease to donate work
or money to the upkeep of the high
ways. We leave it to the road bosses
or overseers and they'are busy men,
busy looking after their own private
affairs, and the whole movement slows
up.
Before we have anything approach
ing really good roads all over the
country the machinery for looking
after the roads will have to be Gre
ated. A county highway engineer IS
needed, but we need something more.
One man cannot look after all the
highways, brick, stone, concrete,
macadam and dirt, of any fair-sized
county. We can't keep up our roads
without an organization to keep after
them all the time. Nor can we build
them without putting more money
into them and then following this up
with more money. Those of US who
believe the Federal government ought
to build all our highways will wait a
long and weary time If they wait till
the government puts in the permanent
roadways.
We are making a great mistake II
we permit the good roads movement
to die. Rural credit is an important
thing, better schools and better

Far-Reaching Service,

the zenith Of attainment. We
cannot hurry fate or retard retri-
button. Each man may think
that the distribution of short days
and long nights is unequal, that
his peighbor has more sunshine
and fewer shadows than he. We
cannot read the book OF fate, nor
dip into another's consciousness.
Often the man who is seemingly
successful hides from the world
the sorest hurt; one who bears
his burden with open complaint,
another with the pride or the
fortitude OF silence.
But if we could put aside the
concealing curtains and look be-
hind the scenes of the lives about
US, we would see that even as
God holds the physical day and
night at even poise, so does He
divide the sunshine and the
glooms of life more exactly than
we imagine. For in the measur-
ing of life the little things must
count the joyous nature, the con-
tented mind, the generous i'm
pulse, and all the smaller things
that 90 to make up the sum of
happiness. In the three score and
ten years Of allotted time, more
pleasure may come from these
than from the wearing OF jewels
or the self-indulgence that wealth
permits. The great point is not
to magnify our neighbours hours
Of daylight or minimize our own.

this, then have we learned the

THE EQUINOX.

Before another week shall end
the earth will have passed in its
noiseless, uniarred flight through
space, over that point in its path
where the suns rays strike it IN
such a way as to divide the day
and the dark inaexact proportions.
After that the long days will grow
short and the short nights will
grow long, until the winter solstice
is reached, and the longest night
and the shortest day make their
record and begin slowly to change
until the vernal equinox is past
and the summer solstice gives US
the longest day and the shortest
night.
1t IS a strange procession Of
phenomena, these equal days and
nights, and the reversaIs that fol-
low them. IL took great minds to
evolve tie truth Of these things
from the supposedly unreadable
page Of the heavens. For it is from
the sun and moon and stars that
astronomers learned the truth.
Nowthatthey have solved the my

Of intelligent mankind.
Behind the physical truth OF
these essential changes there lies
lesson to the hearts Of men.
They, too, have their changes,
their slow progressions from fail
ure to success; their periods OF
equal poise of content and unrest;
their upward flights to longer days
Of Joy and fruition; their down
ward plunge to the frightening
nights Of sorrow and disappoint-
ment. The sequence Of astronomi-
cal events repeats itself in human
experiences.

Demonstrate n Farm at Martin.

In addition to the five demon
stration farms now operated by the
Nashville, Chattanooga q st.
Louis railway under the super
vision of Special Agricultural
Agent Joseph H. Judd, arrange
ments have just been made for a
new demonstration farm at Mar
tin, which will be in cultivation
next year. AT present the COM
pany operates demonstration and
experiment farms at Decherd,
Sewanee, Murfreesboro, TuIla-
homa and Dickson, the combined
acreage under cultivation being
375 and with the farm at Martin
the acreage will be increased to
425 next year.
That the work being done by the
road in demonstrating the posi-
bilities Of the soils in the several
localities is having a decided stimu-
lus to farm endeavors in these
sections is apparent, Another adj
vantage which has been noted par
ticularly at Tullahoma and Dick
son, is that the cultivation of these
farms by the road has caused pro-
perty values in these sections to
increase very materially.
The farmers have been shown
what the soil will do under the
proper tillage, and many of the
farmers about the demonstration
farms of the company are follow
ing the methods employed to adj
vantage. The work being carried
on at these farms is Of such char
acter that the small farmer may
follow without heavy outlay.
Mr.. Judd says that he expects to
grow the general farm crops on the
new farm at Martin, such as GLOW.
er, alfalfa, corn and tobacco, and
to raise a few head of live stock.
He anticipates the same splendid
results which have been obtained
at the farms in the other sections
of the state.
The new farm is located along
the right Of way so that persons
travelling along the road may see
what the N, G. & st. L. is doing
toward the advancement Of the
agricultural interests of the state

his candidacy for the democratic
nomination for the United States
senatorship at Gallatin on last
Saturday was an able presentation
of his claims. While he was prac-
tically silent on the liquor ques-
ton, he made himself clear upon
many other questions and issues
confronting the, American public.
His address, as published in the
state press, sounds real statesman
like. He took a shot or two at his

Bosnia is a land where mans sur

his religion. In the old days families
often divided their members between
Christianity and Islam so as to be GER

side. much as old Scottish families in
some cases deliberately divided them
selves between Jacobite and Hanove-

Charles Eliot explains. all representa-
tives of the original family recognize
each other as relatives, but generally
they use different names for the two

oriuin of a Mark Twain story.

OF all the witty things said or writ
ten by Mark Twain no phrase has been
quoted oftener than his reply to m
alarmist report, "Rumor of my death
greatly exaggerated" The history of
this now celebrated bonmot will
doubtless be of interest. Mark Twain
was on visit to London some years
ago and had been secured as the chief
guest at a dinner to be given by lit
erary club. On the morning of the day
when the dinner was to take place the
secretary was shocked to hear a rumor
that Mark Twain had died suddenly.
At his wits end. he sought to verify
it by diplomatic note to Mrs. Glenn
ems, in which he mentioned the rumor.
Mark Twain got hold of the note and
telegraphed the now famous reply,
"Rumor of my death greatly exag
gerated.'
