this time of year efficiency in study is a spe-
q cially important matter with millions of
young peopIe-and older ones, too.
The public schools, colleges, musical conserva-
tories business schools, and other educational in
stitutions are under full swing for the fall and
winter months In addition there are thousands
of men and women planning courses of home study
to help them get better in the world than they
have been doing since they left school,
All OF these students, young and old-at any
rate, the great majority Of. them-are sincerely
1esirOus of studying to best advantage But many
Of them make mistake that is sure to bring them
bitter disappointment.
They make the mistake of forgetting that study
is done by the the mind alone, but also by the
heart, lungs stomach. and the rest of the bodily
organism. To study well it is as essential to keep
the physical system up par it is to read, listen
pay attention, remember, and think.
This for the reason that all these processes are
carried on by the brain. And the brain works well
in proportion as the rest of the body is in good
condition.
Many students, 1 repeat, forget this. In their
eagerness to progress they unduly subordinate
bodily welfare to mental effort.
They sleep too little, they do not eat properly,
they strain their eyes working in badly hghted
rooms they stay indoors too much
Most frequently of all, they make the mistake
Of not taking enough physical exercise Many dur
ing the school and college term take virtually no
exercise whatever
Yet exercise-hard muscular exercises abso-
lutely indispensable to really efficient study. That
well-known psychologist, Professor g. V. N Dear

Line Stock dissertations.

The Georgia Association of Shorthorn Breed
ers which was formed at meeting in Atlanta
this week. marks an important step in upbuilding
the States livestock interests. In this in most
fields of enterprise, progress depends largely on
cooperation. BY exchanging ideas, comparing
methods and results and acting together for their
common good the members of cattle hog
breeders association can accomplish far more than
they could by working upon purely individual
lines In Georgia and neighboring States there
are scores of such organizations, each devoted to
some particular province of the live stock industry
but all interested in a broad, common cause. 1t
has been happily suggested that these various
ganization would do we'll to hold their annual
meetings in Atlanta during the Southeastern Fair.
More of their members could be brought together
then with less trouble and expense, than probably
at any other time Further they would have the
advantage of the remarkable exhibits which the
Fair presents. The concurrent meeting of hun
dreds of breeders would do a great deal to
phasize the Importance and quicken the develop
ment of live interests 1t is to be hoped that
this useful suggestion will be turned to account.

entire CROP OF CORN
STOLEN FROM A FARM
n. D. Burnett Went to Husk Cereal
and Could Not Find Any; Potatoes
Carried Away Also.

H. d. Burnett, living in the Thomp-
son ravine, has lost his entire harvest
of corn, which he raised at the top
of the hill, near his home. Mr.. Bur-
nett, the other day, went up to the
place to husk the corn, and he found
that the entire crop had been stolen.
He was heard to remark that he would
give $40, if he could find the thief.
Anthony Thompson, the city hall
custodian, who lives in this same
neighborhood, had something of like
experience. He had dug all of his po-
tatoes except two rows, when one
evening, just at dusk, he saw two
men, getting ready to dig the rest.
The men fled when they saw him. Mr.
Thompson emptied his revolver in the
direction of the two rows so as to
scare them. He was not sure that
any potatoes were stolen.
A number of chickens were recent
ly stolen from the coop at the Shaw
residence in this same neighborhood.

sirable citizens were living not far

QUARTERS FOR EXPRESS
COMPANY ARE MOVED
Larger Apartments Are Furnished For
Handling of Packages at the Union
Depot.

Quarters of the American Express
company at the Omaha passenger de-
pot were moved today from their old
location to the new building that has
been erected a little distance to the
south of the depot building itself. In
the new building there will be room
for ten trunks, where in the
old place there was room
for only three. The crowded condi-
tions gave the handlers a great deal
of trouble, not the least of which was
the frequent pilfering by petty thiev-
es, who hung around the depot and
watched their chance.
The railroad lunch room will be
moved into the old quarters of the ex-
press company and will remain there
two weeks or more, while the present
quarters are being renovated and en-
arged, and will have about twice
the space that the lunch room now
occupies.

TAKES But few SPUDS
TO MAKE UP A BUSHEL
Potato Foot Long and About Six In
ches in circumference; Came From
Washington State.

When the average person is shown
a potato a foot long and about SIX
inches in circumference he is apt to
open his eyes and look again. A car
load of potatoes known as Melted
Gems" arrived in the cit ythis week
from the state of Washington and al
though all of them are not this large
they are all extraordinary as to size
and quality when compared with the
potatoes of the middle west.
"Ill bet that potato is hollow,
said bystander, who with several
others was admiring the potatoes al
a local commission. For answer the
proprietor took up a small hatchet
and chopped the potato in half, show
ing a clear and firm white meat all
the way through Such potatoes are
served on the Northern Pacific diners,
but seldom get as far east. They will
be sold at the regular price upon the
market, and it only takes few to
make a bushel.
Hot house cucumbers, California
caulifiower, tomatoes, and California
head lettuce are among the late ar
rivals in green stuff for the table.

London, September 25.-There's an
eighteen year-old American in the
British army who simply refuses to
quit fighting. He is Norman Bruce
Wallis of New Orleans.
The British war office, the Ameri-
can embassy and his parents tried
twice to make the young Southerner
quit and return home but he evaded
them all.
When Uncle Sans official first in
duced the war office to release Wallis
from his regiment, he took his dis
charge and promised to sail for New
Orleans. But he missed his ship and
promptly enlisted in another regi-
ment.
The first process was soon repeated
and Embassy officials engaged the
boys passage on ship bound di-
rect for New Orleans. He was in
stalled in the home Of some friends
until the ship sailed. The ship, how
ever, sailed without him. Wallis re-
turned to his old regiment-one
which hailed from the Scottish "hee-
lands and wears kits. On his ar
rival he was arrested for desertion
The American embassy again came
to his rescue with official expIana
tions.
Today, Wallis-known in the army
as Norman MacGregor Bruce-is with
his unit in Northern France, ready
to resist either officials or Germans

OLD GLORY IN EVIDENCE
People Ask American Ambassa-

EngIand's Action
UNITED Press Dispatch. ]

Athens, Greece, October 1S.-No one
was injured in the great demonstra-
ton that took place at Athens yester-
day against the allies, but there was
tremendous excitement. A great
crowd surrounded body of French
marines in the municipal theatre.
Cries of Down with the allies!" were
frequent The French had a number
of machine guns, which were trained
on the crowd, but not one was fired.
After the excitment abated little,
the French withdrew to the Zapalon
gardens, where they were surrounded
by battalion of Greek soldiers. After
time the mob quieted down.
Cause of .Outburst.
1t is stated that the Immediate
cause of the outburst was the action
of the allies in seizing the Greek
ships. Another act on the part of the
allies that tended to infiame the wrath
of those who took part in the demon
stration was the seizure in Thessaly
of TWENTY-FIVE carloads of ammuni-
tion, which, it was believed, was a
shipment intended to be rushed to the
enemies of the allies.
Down With England.
Down with England" "Down with
the allies!" ''Down with Venizelos!"
were cries that were heard almost
every moment when the demonstra-
ton was at it's height One section of
the mob paraded the streets with an
American flag and then marched to
the American legation quarters, where
the American ambassador was re-
quested to protest in the name of the
government of the United States
against recent acts of the allies.
The report that King Constantine
has fled is denied. He held a meeting
of his cabinet Monday night.

nized by the United States, to re-
cruit soldiers for Greece in the Unit

How Uncle Sam Will Cut Up
Big Federal Fund
prevent PORK METHOD
States Must Contribute Their
Share Toward Building
Highways
ASSOCIATED Press DIspatch.J

Washington, October 1S.-Elabo-
rate plans to prevent the diversion
into improper channels of any part
of the $4,000, 900 which the federal
government is to spend in cooper
alton with states on good roads with
in the next five years have been made
by Logan Waller Page, director OF
the office of public roads and rural
engineering which will supervise the
work. The government is determined,
officials say, that there shall be no
repetition of the lax methods and
waste which have characterized the
building of roads in many sections
and that a dollars worth of road bed
shall be constructed for every dollar
spent Further, the public roads Of
fee is preparing to see to it that the
roads for which the government
money is spent are places where the
traffic demand is the heaviest and
not where politicians and others de-
sire them.
The plans designed to prevent
abuses are covered largely in rules
and regulations promulgated by Sec
retary Houston Of the department of
agriculture, under authority conferr-
ed by the federal aid road act. The
rules, which outline the methods by
which the federal government shall
aid the states in the construction OF
highways, provide that detailed in
fomation in reference to the proposed
construction and maintenance shall
be furnished to the Secretary of Ag-
riculture before any agreements are
made.
Plans State Road Building.
When the plans of a state for road
building, accompanied by request
for federal aid are received, they will
be fully investigated by government
agents, and if acceptable, the state
will receive from the government it's
apportionment of the appropriation
made for the purpose Under the
terms of the act, the federal govern
ment pays the bill for one half the
cost and the state pays the other
half. More than a score of states
already have Indicated their inten-
tion to ask for federal aid and two,
California and Connecticut, have filed
formal applications.
Project statements made to the de-
partment, according to the rules and
regulations, are required to contain
"all information necessary to enable
the Secretary to ascertain (a) wheth-
er the project conforms to the re-
quirements of the act; (b) whether
adequate funds or their equivalent,
are or will be available by or on be-
half of the safe for construction; (c)
what purpose the project will serve,
