Make The Farm Attractive.

Farms are not run merely t.
make money. They are homes, and
there is no reason why they should
not be as comfortable and attractive
as homes in the cities. Their value
lis enhanced by the setting out Of
trees, by coats o. paint on houses
aud outbuildings, by grassy lawns
and well-kept fences and, Of course,
life is more worth while if in the
dwelling house are convenience now
within the reach Of every farmer Of
even moderate means.
This comment from the Savannah
Morning News touches a broadly
practical rs we'll as intensely human
phase Of Georgia's rural interest.
Even if money making were the sole
purpose of the farm, questions Of
comfort and beauty should not be
ignored; for a eontended household
is an important factor Of prosperity.
Environment goes far toward deter
mining ones attitude toward work
An attractive home amid well-kept
grounds inspires the owner with a
pride and satisfaction that will
brighten and energize all his labor.
Better farm houses mean nothing
less than better farming and larger
returns from the soil. They mean.
moreover, happier women anc
children. They mean, that girl
and boys who otherwise would seek
/ the color and zest Of life in cities
will be content to remain in The
country. To the extent that farm
homes are made comedy and con
venient, every line Of agricultural
interest will move forward Atlantis

There is historical account Of q
man in olden England, an I'M
believer in the established religion
who, unable to swim, fell into a
river. AS he was about to go down
for the last time, a man reached
him and held his head above water.
''Dost thou renounce thy views,
hereticP" he demanded. I do, ]
do, " gasped the man, half choked
with water. Then die in the
faith, . said the supposed rescper,
showing the victims head deeper
under water. The which is recalled
BY the incident in Texas the other
day when suffragette went to the
rescue Of drowning man, and
promised to save him if he would
agree to advocate votes for women.
She really did save him, however
and now he must join the suffra-
gists. But, at that, he's lucky
she might have demanded that he
marry her. Macon News.

An exchange prints a good joke
on an editor who went one evening
to report a party at home recently
blessed with new baby. He met
his hostess at the door. and after the
usual situations he asked after the
baby's health. The lady, was quite
deaf, and suffering with grip.
thought he was asking after her ecld,
and answered that although she
usually had one every winter, this
was the worst one she ever had, Il
kept her awake at night good deal
and al first confined her in bed.
Then noticing that the newspaper
man was getting nervous, she said
she could tell by his looks that he
was going to have one just like hers
and asked him to goin and sit down,

Base Ball Games of the Week
Rain Halts Saturdays Games

SCHEDULE FOR SATURDAY
Newark at Parkside.
Traction Co. at Elk Mills.
New Castle at Elkton.
Rain Halts Saturday Games
Because of the rain not a game
was played in the Delaware Mary
land League on Saturday. This
will mean more double headers if
all postponed games are played
off. Newark was scheduled to play
Traction Co. in Wilmington on
Saturday but Manager Ellison re-
ceived word before the afternoon
that the grounds would not be fit
to play on so the players did not
even go to Wilmington. In the
case of this game it will not likely
be played off as Newark has no
other game scheduled with the
Live Wires" Newark will likely
play a double header with Park
side on the latter's grounds next
Saturday. There is one postponed
game in addition to the regular
scheduled game and as Parkside
has a chance for the pennant they
insist that the postponed game be
played. Newark also has a post
poned game with Elk Mills and
this game will likely be played off
on September 18th here which will
close the Delaware-Maryland
League schedule.
As between New Castle and
Parkside many Of the local fans
are pulling for New Castle to win
the pennant and the present indi,
cations are that the boys from the
river town will pull through, al
though only one game separates
the two teams.

(COntinued from page 1)
 companyfug Congressman Ragsdale's party touring the northwest.
 NIr. Payseur is interested in a number of cotton mills and cotton seed oil mills, and reports the cot ton industry thriving in all the southeastern states. He says that "liuters" CT short cotton, which for years has been a drug on the market. brings almost as much as good long fibre cotton, because of it's demand for making gun cot ton.
 Most ot the South Carolina cot ton mills. he says, are refusing to accept more orders, the one in which he is most heavily interested having orders for its full capacity booked for 10 months ahead.
 When stock raising was men, toned he said, We raise a great deal Of live stock down in our country and horses and mules are just as good as gold nuggets. You can get their cash value any min ute. The British have oyerrun our district with buyers for their army. At first they were very par ticular about the age and condition of the animals, but now they take almost anything that is able to stand up and walk and carry or pull a load The average life of a horse after he gets to the fight ing line is only about 12 days so it doesn't matter much whether he is thoroughbred or has scar or not"
 What do you think of the Mex ican ard German situations?" he was asked. Our people are in favor of fighting if necessary, es- pecialIy with Germany. We want the President to be positive in maintaining American rights, and we will support him.
