EXCITEMENT AMONG
THE FAIR TRIBES

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 1.-The fair
witches in masks who collected money
for charitable purposes by a tag day
process on the streets of Atlanta Sat
urday have stirred up a deal of acri-
lnony among other fair damsels chart
tably inclned-and there's a reason.
The Saturday campaign was pictur-
esqce, and was for a worthy cause.
Scores of pretty society girls, CARRIED
in quaint costumes as Halloween
witches and with their lovely tresses
flying to the wind, sold tags for a
worthy local charity. But the trou-
lbe came in the fact that for years
past the tag day privilege in Atlanta
has been considered a special prerog-
alive of the Sheltering Arms, which is
an inter- denominations charitable So
ciety to help children, and the Shelter
ing Arms ladies resent any encroach-
ing On their privileges.
Several other times other organiza.
tons have endeavored before to put on
something like tag day, but hereto
fore the Sheltering Arms has always
managed to stop them, either by peace
full argument or threats of an injunc-
ton.

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 "H'' 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 dizziness become matters of

WINTER LAYERS
D. j. Taylor, Field Agent Poultry, Ga
State College Of Agriculture

If 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, well 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 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.

great importance. One girl is able to
can tomatoes and boy to pollinate
corn to advantage. But such things
follow the training of the hands to be
useful, and most important of all, to
be skillful.
The third "H' stands for training
the heart. Education is of little value
and skillful hands not worth while I'm
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 num-
Der.
The fourth H" represents health.
What advantage to be clear-minded,
skillfulhanded and sympathetic-heart-
ed if one has not the power through
vigorous health to serve others? Dis
ease turks everywhere about us. We
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.

SUBSIDIZED NEWSPAPERS.

Several times during the past few
months the Americas Times Recorder
las spoken of the duties, trials and
vicissitudes confronting the newspa-
pers. In line with these thoughts. s
the following excellent editorial from
tie Albany Herald:
Are there any subsidized newspapers
in Georgia?
We doubt it.
And yet We have never known a
time when there was so much in
situation INDUCED in on this line 1t
is getting to be so newspaper can
Lot have decided opinions on any of
the issues of the day, and give ut
terance to them, without having some
other newspaper or some politician
o. the same narrow stripe whose
views are antagonized or purposes
crossed, come back with a hint or
insinuation that it is subsidized. A
lot of this sort of mean insinuation
has been in evidence lately, especial
" in connection with the current dis
cussion of prohibition and other is
sues scheduled for the approaching
extraordinary session of the Georgia
Legislature.
And yet we doubt if there has ever
been a time when the press of Geor-
STA, taken as whole, was freer
from anything like subsidy and I'M
der less restraint by special interests
than it is today. The time has been
when special interests and scheming
politicians either owned or controlled
newspapers in Georgia and in every
other state in the Union; but the
subsidized newspaper, the hired dunn
my candidate and the politician who
buys his way into Office have all had
their day in Georgia. And it is an
honest, independent, unpurchasable
press that has accomplished it ALL
Newspapers that are started for spite
or Cor factional purposes can no
longer get footing or exercise any
influence in Georgia. And practical
Et Wspaper men who are capable or
taking the pace and maintaining it for
any considerable time are no longer
forced TO sell themselves to newspaper

THE DISTRICT FAIR.

With all the moves and achievements
o. the Americas and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce constantly in
mind, unhesitatingly do we commend
their latest plan to hold a fair in
Americas next fall.
The plans have been outlined in the
news columns of this paper, and al
though they are in formative stage,
the movement has begun when it
should-in time. Fairs are not built
in day, and the more time spent on
such projects usually rebounds in
greater benefits and success.
1t behooves every man, woman and
child in the Third Agricultural dis
trict to put their shoulder to the wheel
and push, move and work for the
Third Agricultural District Fair.
Because this event is to beheld in
Sumter county, there should not be the
slightest hesitancy In the other coun-
ties of the district joining in, There
is honor enough for us all, and with
the prospects of such great achieve
n.ent in view, it is pleasant to contem-
plate that a united section will pre-
sent to the state and South, one of her
grandest products of her resources.
Too much stress cannot be placed on
the proposed fair-the fair which will
he held.

TO KEEP HOG CHOLERA
FROM REACHING YOUR
HERD
Or. A. L. Hirleman, U. S. Vet. Field
Agt., Ga. College Of Agriculture

Locate your hog lots and pastures
away FROM streams and public high
ways, and do not allow your hogs to
run free range.
Do not visit your neighbor or allow
him to visit you, if either of you have
hog cholera on your premises.
Do not drive into hog lots when re-
turning from market or after driving
on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
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
quarantined at least two weeks, and
use care to prevent carrying infection
from these to other pens in feeding
and attending stock.
Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under four feet of
earth all dead animals and the Wis
cera removed from animals at butch
ering time because they attract the at
tention of buzzards, dogs, etc, which
are liable to carry hog cholera infec-
ton.
Confine your dogs and do not keep
pigeons unless you confine them
