LONDON, Oct. 26.-The race for
the road to Constantinople has reach
ed an exciting stage. The Buigarians
are within few miles of forming a
junction with their Austro-G German al
lies, while the French IN small forces
already have joined the serbians.
The French are not yet in sufficient
number to assume an actual offensive
in Macedonia, but the rapidly Of the
Bulgarian advance in that region al
ready has diminished, Along the old
Bulgarian frontier, from point
northeast of Franya to the Rouman-
ian border the Serbians are yielding
little ground.
Actual junction Soon.
Actual junction between the Bull
garians and their allies, which may
be matter Of only few hours, will
soon show whether the Serbians are
able to hold their mountain positions
until the Entente allies bring I'm a
stronger force.
Italy is still hammering away at
the Austrian front, which Is shaken,
but unbroken. IT is expected in Lon
don that the Italian offensive will at
least prevent. the Austrians from re-
enforcing their Balkan army.
Russia is Stubborn.
Russia by its Stubborn defense of
Riga and Dvinsk and its continued of
fensive in Galicia is keeping its op-
ponents engaged bitterly along the
whole eastern front.
In the West there is evidence that
the Entente allies are again prepar-
Ing for an offensive which may pre-
vent the Germans from diverting any
of their forces there.

The Al Brand of Boys and Girls
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture

Fifteen thousand boys and girls of
Georgia belong to clubs whose motto
is represented by four HIS. They are
the All brand of boys and girls. These
four HIS stand for the development of
the Head, the Hand, the Heart and
the Health. The brand is stamped on
all the products offered for sale by
these club members. They wear the
letters on their breasts emblazoned on
buttons. They display it at the ex-
hibits Of the school, the county, the
district and the state fairs.
The first "H" represents the train
ing Of the head. Very little progress
can be made without intellectual de-
velopment, so an effort must be made
to train our girls and boys to think
to reflect, to look into their problems
and reach definite conclusions. The
more highly trained they are the more
successfully they will meet difficulties
and the faster they will progress.
The second II" means to train the
hand. The hands, of course, are very
important to the individual, but they
are of little service without training.
One may be able to use the hands for
certain things with advantage, but he
may not be skillful in the use Of his
hands. Therefore, the requirement of
skill and deftness become matters of

can tomatoes and a boy to pollinate
corn to advantage But such things
follow the training of the hands to be
useful, and most important of all, IL
be skillful.
The third I'll" stands for training
the heart. Education is of little value
and skillful hands not worth while un.
less the heart is trained to be kind
true and sympathetic. Life is only
valuable as we are able to serve 9th.
ers, and as we. are served by others.
Kindness is a trait of patriotism
which we should strive to develop
for it means that we are to lend our
sympathy and support to those less
fortunate than ourselves, and that we
all work and cooperate together for
the greatest good to the greatest mum.

The fourth II" represents health

ed if one has not the power through
vigorous health to serve others? Dis

do not appreciate as we should the
forms in which disease may appear
and the relative ease with which we
may evade it, if our bodies are in a
thoroughly vigorous condition.

WINTER LAYERS
D. J. Taylor, Field Agent Poultry, Ga
State College OF Agriculture

II you expect your pullets to lay
this winter you should begin early
to put them in condition to lay. The
farmers wives who make a success
of poultry keeping have this idea of
winter eggs in mind all summer and
select for this purpose.
Those pullets that were late Matched
or were slow in maturing, should be
fed literally to put on as much growth
and fat as possible to mature them
but it is the early Matched, we'll ma
tured pullet that can be most relied
upon to lay during the winter. Feed
the late Matched pullets literally on
corn, wheat and oats, with a mash
made of wheat seconds or of bran and
shorts, and corn meal with Is per cent
of commercial meat scraps or cotton
seed meal.
Do not neglect any of the things
that will keep the chickens strong
and healthy. Supply the chickens with
plenty of grit, oyster shell, charcoal
and green feed, and give them the run
of the farm or of grassy plot. A
weak chicken will lay few eggs any
time of the year, and especially few
during the winter.
Prepare house for your pullets this
fall so that they will be protected
from severe weather and the rains
They need this protection to lay large
numbers of eggs.

run free range.
Do not visit your neighbor or allow
him to visit you, if either Of you have

Do not place newly purchased stock,
stock secured or loaned for breeding
purposes, or stock exhibited at county
fairs, with your herd. Keep such stock

Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under four feet of
earth all dead animals and the Wis
