that the farmers seem to fully realize

and thoroughness that leave little to

Discussing this matter the Albany

that sufliceu a few years ago cannot
make success of farming Even
though he receive a good price 'or an

due to the coming OF the boil weeyil,
whose presence will make 1t impos-
sible to again produce a normal crop
Of cotton, the reduction amounting to
from q to 60 per cent, according to
the inte e'lieence ard persistency with
which the farmer comhats the pest
The cotton farmer Who has hitherto
produced an average Of a bale to two

The other condition which ne far

his grain and practically everything
else that man and beast on his farm
consume, and must pay for them the

In sefdefense, the southern farmer
must now make his acres yield the

There are farmers in Georgia who

P R E A H f R S
BY GEORGE FITCH

A PREACHER is man who
~ talks to congregation for two
n hours each Sunday and spends
the week days heartening up his
flock for the next installment.
Preachers are supposed to be ex-
ceedingly holy men who set a pat
tern of righteousness for the world
to follow. There is very general
belief that II our preachers are good
enough it doesn't make much differ
ence what the rest OF us do. 1t Is
really amazing to see how interested
the world is in the goodness of a
minister and how nobly it stands
back and refrains from competing
with him in this field. Thousands Of
men who are perfectly satisfied with
escaping the gallows themselves will
worry for hours at a time over the
imperfections Of the preachers and
will even refuse a drink while abb
sorbed In making suggestions for
their Improvement. In fact. our am
bition for the goodness of preachers
is boundless. II only we can have
perfect preachers, we will cheerfully
wallow in wrong-doing ourselves.
The world records no more startling
unselfishness.
Preachers go to divinity schools
while quite young, and there learn
all about the world and mankind up
to 1900 years ago. Armed with this
knowledge, they are given congre-
cation which knows all about the
world from yesterday to tomorrow.
The result is usually a draw in
ILL rounds. The duties of the aver
age preacher are to preach twice a
week, to attend half a dozen miscel-
laneous meetings, to drum up attend
ance, to visit all his parishioners an
equal number Of times during the
year, to kiss fifty brides of various
ages per annum, to illuminate sick
rooms, to beat the undertaken to the
house Of death and run a tie race
with him at each funeral, to support
a wife and black frock coat, to say

"AH Is Not Cold That Shioers -

THE strongest prop of the
Catching cold" delusion to-day
is the fact that chills or chilly

But there are plenty OF other dis
eases introduced with chills too. For
example, septicemia, or acute blood
poisoning, almost invariably begins
with chi.liness or an actual chill.

chill Is a symptom Of infection al

the back at the onset are very clear.

The chin that occurs with the on.

In children an actual CONFUSION may

a RNOLD BGNNETT is one of the
N most vigorous opponents OF
conscripton. He asserts that
"tho essential character of the war,
after fourteen months, is plain. It
is war Of obstinacy. 1t is a war
OF sticking IT," Therefore, in
stead Of recruiting new armies, Eng
land should devote her energies to
curtailing expenses. to outstanding
resources.
There appears to be sense in this
argument Tho present demand for
a minimum OF $4,000 recruits a day
will certainly add much to Englands
financial burden. In view Of the ap-
parent military situation it may not
accomplish commensurate results.
The resources Of England are great,
but she Is already supporting an
army of 100000 men and is
sending supplies to a like number
of allied soldiers. Mr.. Bennett sums
up the matter as follows:

A MONG the large number of In
~ dian tribes which live in the
Gran Chaco, an alluvial plain
on the Paraguay River, is the Lenguas,
tribe which for centuries has prac-
tised a primitive but practical form
OF Socialism. In the territory occu-
pied by the tribe all of the land Is
held to be common property, not
even the chief having any special
proprietary interest in IT. Certain
tracts are occupied by families or
individuals and worked by them, but
aside from feeding the immediate
members Of the family with what is
produced, the occupant is not allowed
to have any special title to the food
produced. If he has a bountiful crop
the surplus goes into the common
fund to feed those who have been
less fortunate or the ones who are
too old to work the fields.
The same rules apply to all prop
erty held by the tribe. The hunter,
after a successful day, divides his
spoil with those who have no meat,
and the fisherman returning with
full string shares his catch with
others of the village. Even the prod
ucts of the native artisan are treated
in the same way. The weaver and
the potter supply the village with
blankets and with pots, and in com
pensatiOn receive their food and shell
ter. Amy attempt on the part of a
member Of the tribe to build a hut
any larger or finer than that pos
sessed by his neighbor is frowned
upon, and even the chief is COM
PEELED to live like the ordinary peo-
pie, being allowed only certain dis
tinctions in dress.
Though living only a short dis
tance from the cultivated people of
Paraguay, the Lenguas, like many
other Chico tribes, have had little
intercourse with foreigners, and bit
terly resent the intrusion of a
stranger into the swampy country
which forms their domain. They are
believed to be the descendants Of the
ancient Incas, for, despite the fact
