Atlanta, November 21.-southern foot hall enthusiasts are turning anticipatory eyes toward Thanksgiving day. The Georgetown-South Carolina game at Washington was the only contest sched- uled yesterday between southern teams of the university class. That George town beat South Carolina was not sur prise, but the 61 to 0 score was much larger than had been anticipated.
 Probably the most important contest in the south for Thanksgiving is that between Georgia Tech and Auburn here. Tech has not been defeated, although Georgia University last week outplayed the Yellow Jackets on a muddy field in a scoreless game. Tech has been scored on several times.
 Auburn was beaten on the same day and under much the same conditions by Vanderbilt Auburn defeated Georgia several weeks ago.

League Is Formed to Make Ma
tion-Wide Campaign.
"Take Tariff Out of Politics" Is
Slogan Under Which Leading Men

United.

Chicago.-"Take the tariff out OF
politics and put 1t on business basis
is the slogan of a nationwide cam
paign to be undertaken by an organi-
cation formed in Chicago to urge the
establishment Of permanent nom
partisan tariff commission. Many
leading men in the United States have
gone on record as approving the plan
and are directly interested in the
movement.
The Tariff Commission league, just
formed in Chicago, and now in process
of detailed organization, will be the
medium through which the fight will
be made to arouse the American pub
lic-the business world, the agricul-
tural world, the labor world-to bring
such pressure to bear upon congress
that the proposed tariff commission
will be created.
James J. Hill has agreed to take the

upon all general matters of policy and
action, and which Is now being formed.
On Mr.. Hills advisory committee it
Is intended to have prominent repre-
sentatives of agriculture, labor, manu-
featuring, trade and commerce, higher
education, as well as experts on eco
nomics and public officials.
Warren s. Stone of Cleveland, grand
chief of the international Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers, has accepted
an invitation to serve on the advisory
committee, as one of the representa-
tives Of labor. Another member Of the
advisory committee Is Mrs. Samuel
B. Sheath of Tifin. Ohio, first vice
president Of the National Federation
of Women's Clubs, and recent addi-
ton is Miss Jane Adams of Chicago.
Representing agriculture on that COM
mittee are: F. D. Coburn Of Kansas,
the Father of Alfalfa" who for TWEEN
ty years has been secretary OF the
Kansas department of agriculture; ex-
Governor w. D. Hoard of Wisconsin,
who has been called the father Of the
dairy industry of the West, and A. P.
Grout of Illinois, one of the chief farm
ers of that part of the country and
president of the National Alfalfa Grow
ers' association. The composition OF
the remainder of the committee will
be determined shortly. John ]. Mitch

Two Crops of Lemons.

By an interesting yet simple method
two crops of lemons are obtained in
Sicily during the year, though the
second is in every way inferior. The
abnormal fruit is known as the Yer
delli lemon, and is marketed during
the summer months. The Verdelli
lemon, green in color grows contem-
poraneously on the same trees with
the ordinary or yellow lemon of com
MERGE, and is obtained by the follow
ing method: The lemon tree, which
flowers in April, is kept without water
from that period until July, when tie
roots are heavily flooded for a time.
This results in second set of bios
SONS, from which will come the Yer
delli lemon. The ordinary lemon crop
is picked in the months beginning
with October, but the Verdelli lemons
do not mature until the next May.

L-auuhter.

Some scientists tell US that the ex-
preston of laughter is not always In
dicative of a physical appreciation of
enjoyment, for 1t is well known that
idiots are prone to laughter which is
often without any such significance.
They often show a laughing counten-
ance, the smile being more or less
stamped on their features; or they
may grin, giggle or chuckle at the
slightest thing. 1t is probable that in
such cases laughter purely expresses
physical contentment, rarely asso-
ciated with higher or more complex
ideas.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Woman and her
clothes was the subject of a discus
sion in the District Court when George
Gruenewald, wealthy farmer, was ar
raigned on the charge of abandoning
his wife and children.
Mrs. Gruenewald admitted her hus-

home. But he will not give me
money for Clothes" she said. He
doesn't give me more than $40 year
to dress with" Gruenewalds attor-

required. The court left the question
to Assistant District Attorney Sulil-

II should say" said Sullivan, that
she could properly dress on $3.oO a
week."
"That isn't enough. Mrs. Gruene-
wald asserted. IT need SIS week.

CA Vision in

However, you can put it down to
three nights and days spent wander

"Tarrant and his wife had been
married six years, and that is just
about the time when trouble develops,
if it is going to develop at all, especial
1y when a couple are childless. They
just began to disagree. The truth
was, they were living an artificial city
life, and both were getting bored.
"Tarrant and Molly had been deeply
in love with each other when they
married. Molly couldn't understand
why Jack seemed not to care for her
any more, and Jack Tarrant won

ried was always nagging and finding
fault with him. They talked of a sepa.

"The matter was still UP in the air
when they decided on spending their
usual summer holiday separately.
Molly went home to her mother and a
lot of crank female friends-the IN
married kind who try to separate
happy couples. Tarrant went up to
the Adirondacks to fish.
"The first day or two he mooned
about, very miserable, and yet relieved
at the sense of freedom. He had ex-
pected to long for Molly; on the con-
trary he began to think Of all the un-
happiness that had been in their lives.
The thought of the tie between them
maddened him, and that was how he
lost his way in the woods at shutdown.

marketed there must be some loss
This often totals higher than the
farmer realizes. For instance, accord
ing to the departments market spe
cialists, the loss on such commodities
as Strawberries, peaches and grapes
sometimes amounts to 80 or 40 per
cent before they reach the hands OF
the retail trade. Losses due to spoil
ing may be the result of the shipper
sending overripe or diseased fruit, OF
failing to give proper attention to
packing, to loading, or to bracing the
packages in the car. Sometimes the
railroad is at fault. Delay in transit,
improper ventilation or refrigeration,
or unnecessarily rough handling OF
cars may contribute to rapid deterlora-
ton of the shipment on arrival.
The lack of proper refrigeration ia
cilities at distributing centers is
cause of much loss. When produce
moves slowly, there is often much
spoilage before complete sales can be
made. Rough handling during unload
ing or carting is another important
cause of loss. AS matter Of fact,
the opportunities for losses due to the
spelling of commodities are so mani
fold that it is impossible to enter into
a complete discussion of them.
It is always well to bear in mind
the really serious side Of losses and
wastes. The spelling of dozen can
taloupes, basket of grapes, or a
crate of strawberries represents an
absolute loss to the community. No
benefit accrues to producer, distribu-
tor. or consumer from such a condi-
tion. The loss occurring at this point
must be borne by both producer and
consumer, and in a great many cases
the distributor must bear his part of
the burden. The departments spe-
cialists think in many cases losses
and wastes are entirely too heavy a
tax on food distribution and that the
elimination of unnecessary wastes
would do as much toward effecting
permanent, substantial economies in
marketing and distribution as any re-
adjustment of present marketing
methods could do.
Losses Can Be Avoided.
The fact that large percentage of
these losses can be avoided by proper
grading, packing, and shipping, to-
gether with prompt, efficient handling
while the goods are in process of dis
tribution, makes it imperative that
this subject be given special consid-
Grafton by those interested in the eff
ficient marketing of farm crops.

Nothing can spur on children to be-

of dismal days when they hungered
pitifully and were lily clad In a poor
fireless room. They have no well-to'

ingly lend them helping hand. This
is the foundation of their ambition

and get together homes of their own,
that the tie of the large family of
grown children proves strongest
There are always some who are un.
fortunate In making their way. Fail.
ures and friends who have turned
from them In adversely have made
them discouraged and scarce able to
hold their heads up. Then come the
uplifting brothers and sisters, their
hearts filled with pity, their hands and
purses outheld, determined to give
them a footing to get up and start
anew.
Many of the saddest discourage
ments which human beings have to.
face are steps from which they cannot
recover themselves. They groan out
that the one wish of their lives would
have been to have had brothers and
sisters who would have comforted
them when pitfalls and troubles were
theirs. Instead of looking back over
the years of hardships that large
families may have brought, one and
all should realize that the future of
each child may bring loving reward
proving an ideal help when the shad-
ows are outlived by sunshine.
