DOGS HELP TO FIND
 THE WOUNED SOLDIERS. One Collie Saves Twenty Five in
 East Prussia.
lBy Inc Associated Press.l

(By The Associated Press.)
 BERLIN, Jan. 5.-More than twenty lives have already been saved by black collie dog belonging to an ambulance corps on the East Prussia battlefelds. In peace times, the ami nal is a humble watch dog in the railway station at Halle.
 The dark winter nights and the snow make the work of finding the wounded especially difficult, but since the ambulance parties began using dogs in their search, few wounded men have been overlooked. The dogs carry a red cross on both sides of their collar. As soon as night comes, generally the only time in which the wounded can be searched for, the Ieashes are slipped and dogs are sent across the battlefelds. Instead of barking when they find wounded soldier, they bring back some article of the victims equipment as a cap, helmet, or gloves. They are then put on the leash and they lead the ambul- ance men to the spot where the wounded soldier lies. In this manner hundreds have been saved on the diff ferent battlefelds.
 At first some of the animals lead the searchers to men already dead, but they learn with surprising rapidi- ty to confne their attentions to the living.

APPLE ORCHARD
UNCERTAINTIES
(By w. ]. MOrSe.)

In spite of the fact that a large
of work has been done both
in this and in other countries, in
studying the effects of different in
secticides and fungicides upon the
trees themselves and their efficiency
in controlling the various insects and
~fungeous pests, the ideal spray or
combination of sprays for use on apple
orchards has not yet bee discovered.
1t is true that with the introduction
Of l~ime-sulphur some of the previous
difficulties have been eliminated, but
at the same time there are others Of

or which have not been overcome.

SONS to attract the bees, so there will
be but slight harm, if any, done to
those friendly little visitors.
Professor BALL of Utah and other
workers on the Pacific coast have
revolutionized spraying for the cooling
moth where this insect alone is to be
combated. They find by one or at
most two sprayings, judiciously timed
and properly applied, almost n en-
tire fruit crop can be saved.
Balls method is based primarily on
two important facts. He claims that
wherever upon the apple the eggs of
the first brood are laid a great ma
jority Of the young worms coming
therefrom crawl to the calyx and enter
there; secondly, that Immediately
after the petals fall there are W.
cavities at the calyx end, h stamen

cavities.
The young larvae enters the apple
by eating through the floor Of the
lower cavity. Balls idea was to get

some good. To accomplish this he

FROM A FORMER GEORGIA
(EFTNEXEN
CITIZEN,

Dear Sir: / desire to express my
hearty appreciation and approval Of
the way in which you so nobly and
fearlessly upheld the laws of Georgia
and the honor Of womanhood in tbs.

| was formerly citizen and resi-
dent Of Atlanta and for this reason I
deeply feel the injustice wrought by
the hand Of the former Governor,
and you have we'll expressed my
views on the Irctter.

day last, compared Frank with Jesus
before Pilot, which is an insult to all
believers in the meek and lowly
Nazarine.
| fail to see any comparison, and
resent any statement in which the
names CT the two are mentioned as
by him.
Frank was given a fair trial in
every respect, was proven guilty be-
yond q doubt, and SO found and de-
clared by twelve men under oath,
who heard all the evidence Then,
for one lone man TO come along, who
heard none Of the evidence, but who
did hear many fa1sehoods. End 1iG-
tened to them, from people at dis
lance who never read a line of the
evidence, to say that the twelve men
were wrong and that the honored
and now lamented Judge who pro-
neUrced the sentence was wrong, is
more than l am willing to believe
any other Georgian would do
There is, however, q feeling of
great relief to those Of us who were
taught to respect the laws of State
and Nation, and to honor and respect
the virtue and purity Of womanki1d,
in the fact that he is no longer Gov
ernor.
May your useful life be spared be-
yond the three-scOre years and ten,
to continue the good work for hui
mainly which you are now so nobly
and fearlessly engaged in.
Very truly yours,

FINE TRIBUTE TO A FINE MAN.

Dear Sir: Will you allow me space
in The Jeffersonian to say a word
about nay friend, John Day, or Rev.
John Day, D. D., as he is now called
WIN his name is mentioned in the
New York papers and magazines. L
desire to say word about him in
order that | may kindle the fire of
ambition in the heart Of some boy
who may read The Jeffersonian, and
cause him to aspire to higher things
in life.
John Day was not discovered by
a foreign mission board in the lands
beyond the seas, but one of my old
professors at Tusculum College, Rev.
w. G.. Clemens, ran across him up
in the mountains Of Harlan County,
Kentucky, and persuaded him to go
to Tusculum to school.
John was no rare ripe. He was
just one of those poor, ragged noun
tain boys who had never had a
chance; but he has been running I'M
der a full head of steam and making
rapid progress since he got out of
the Sticks and onto the main line.

brightest son, and the world is be-

you for your brave stand taken in

we had you by the hand today for
the brave stand you have taken to
see that the laws Of this State are
carried out. We want you to state in
your paper this week, that we con-
denim the action Of Governor Slaton

our town are wrought up over his

you to let us have daily paper, and
you will never have a better time
