PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Doubtless there is no command
with a larger signifcancenor one
that is more far reaching in its
width and scope than that given
by.our Lord in the Mount of AS
cension, when He said: Go ye
therefore and make disciples of
all nations. This command,
given to a little company of dis
ciples, apart in the mountains,
skirted by a beautiful valley and
flowing stream, cheered now and
again by the song of the bird
and the kiss of the sun, must
have seemed an a.most impossi-
bic task at first, as the broad
expanse of the world stretched
out before them; but as er0chs
have come and gone, new ma
tions have been created, and the
disciples Of all ages have been,
measuredIy and with a steady
tread carrying out the meaning
and spirit of this last command.

CORN CLUB PRIZES
OFFERED FOR 1915
Scholarships and Cash Given by n
G. Hastings in Mississippi and
Other States.

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special) Corn Club
prizes for Southern boys in Missis-
sippi and nine other corn growing
states of this section have been re-
newed for 1915 by H. G. Hastings,
general chairman of the Georgia cora
show committee and chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce.
The prizes amount In all to $l,2OO,
In cash and scholarships, and will be
awarded under the direction of the
government corn cub agents in each
state.
In Mississippi Mr. Hastings has Of
fered $100 to be divided into three
cash prizes of $50, $50 and $40, or to
be awarded in scholarship form, ac-
cording to the wishes Of the Missis-
sippi corn club officials.
In Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Tex
as, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Hastings offers 800 in each
state, either in cash or scholarships,
according to local arrangement. In
Georgia, his home state, he offers a
$3.50 scholarship in the State College

cash prizes Of $50 and $40, respect

The great educational value and
constructive force of the corn club
contests, in addition to the marvels
they are accomplishing in increased
corn productions, are emphasized in
an interview given out by Mr.. Hast
ings in connection with his announce.
ment of prizes. Mr.. Hastings said:
THE interest now being taken in
corn production, by the federal gov
ernment, by state officials, by leading
organizations and individuals, is, in
my opinion, the greatest constructive
force now operative in agricultural af-
fairs in America. For too long the
tendency of education in the rural
schools was to draw boys away from
the farm, but the corn clubs are now
combining with true agricu tural edu-
cation to influence the boys to form
new ideas and new ideals Of farm life
! The corn club work is growing in
value and importance with each sue
cessive year"

In fact, the more obvious-the more
conspicuous-one's footwear is: the
more speedily it attracts the observer
eye, so much the better. When a
pretty woman is coming toward you
these days. you see her feet first-if
she is fashionably shod. After your
eye has been attracted to the daintily
dressed feet, it rises to gown. hat and
face. The wonder is that these strik
ing boots and slippers do not make
woman's feet look disproportionately
large, but somehow they do not. Much
consideration is given these days to
the shape and lines of footwear, and
to the arrangement Of contrasting
feathers in right proportion. Only
cheap boots and pumps. badly de-
signed with no artistic balancing OF
lines and feathers seem to make the
feet look clumsy. And 1t is a wise
woman now, when footwear Is so con-
spicuous, who pays a good price for
every boot. pump and slipper she
owns.
