VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Worth Is Placed at Not Less Than S.
and Up to So Per Ton by Some Of
Experiment Stations.

If the average farmer realized the
great value placed on poultry manure
by some of the largest experimental
stations in the United States, he
would be more careful in the gather
ing, storing and proper distribution
of same over his land.
1t is claimed that average poultry
manure consists as follows: Water,
&C per cent; nitrogen, to per cent;
phosphoric acid to per cent; pot
ash, s to 10 per cent. This analysis
would place the value of every ton
of poultry manure at not less then IS
and up to IS.

No Tariff Delay.

Advocates of a tariff commission
have helped their cause considerably
by stating that there is nothing in
their plan which would prevent imme-
diate changes in schedules where the
industries concerned have all the facts
at their fingers ends.
Such a statement, coming now from
small percentage of those who are
advocating a tariff commission. indi-
Gates that not all of those who are ad-
vocating scientific revision" are
willing to wait until certain indus
tries are destroyed before adopting
obvious measures of relief.
What fooliShness it would be, for in
stance. to wait for tariff commission
to complete an investigation two or
three yeare hence before restoring
needed protection!

Activity is reported in the Black
Hawk district and new machinery is
being sent in.
One of the interesting reports is
that of the incorporation of the
Pintado Mining Company for the pur
pose of exploiting what is reported to
be rich copper mine sixteen miles
west of Santa Rosa.
The production of the Chino Cop

running close to 100000 pounds Of
copper per annum, the cost being not
over 7 cents per pound. The com
pany therefore has an earning ca
pacity with copper for year at 20
cents per pound of $12,750,000 per
annum This figures out better than

LOVELY GREEN ISLE
Land of Bewitching Beauty Well
Worthy the Love of the
Great Apostle.

N HIS wanderings as a teacher St.
l Patrick doubtless visited almost
every part of Ireland. 1t was on that
abrupt and picturesque elevation,
Mount Slemish, above the valley of the
Braid. in County Antrim, that the
heart of the captive boy experienced
its great spiritual change, which from
events following, may be considered to
have altered the entire history Of Ire
land, and even to have transformed
the face of Christendom.
Similarly ancient Tara, the old
abode of kings, situated about twenty
five miles from Dublin in County
Meath. is closely identified with St.
Patrick's name. There he went first
on his mission of conversion.

Card From D. A. r.

1t Is a source Of great disappoint-
ment to the d. A. R. OF the CITY that
the pretty electric flag could not be
floated from the top Of the court house
dome. 1t had been the one idea of the
chapter; it's dream as it were, to see
this flag floated from the pinnacle OF
the court house dome, to be seen in
all Of its beauty for miles around. But
when thorough Investigation was
made preparatory to erecting the flag
on top of the dome, 1t was found that
1t was entirely without brace and
could not support the flag, not that
the flag was so heavy, but that the
dome of our court house was quite un-
substantial We appeal to the com
missioners in their patriotism and civ
ic pride, in their aim tc keep out Tenn
pie of Justice substantial and an orna,
ment as were, to have the dome prop
erly braced, that this flag might be
raised to the pinnacle. We appeal to
the public to create a sentiment In
this direction, that our commissioners
might feel no hesitancy in taking steps
to make the dome of the court house
thoroughly substantial and to raise the
flag to the top.
The D. A. R. have spent in the neigh
borhood of 5000 for this flag in their
desire to create deeper love and rev
erence for the nations emblem and
to aid in civic Improvement. We feel
that Cordele is as loyal and patriotic
as other cities, and as the daughters
are making a gift of the flag to the
city, we feel that the town itself, will
see that the flag is floated from the
proper place, the pinnacle of the court
house dome.

Regent Ft. Early Chapter D. A. R.

ELECTRIC FLAG
MUST FLY Low
DOME OF COURT HOUSE WILL
NOT SUPPORT 1T AND 1T IS NOW
PERcHED ONLY ON THE TOWER

That electric flag is not going on top
of the dome of the Crisp county court
house as was scheduled. But, steady,
now. 1t is not the fault of any one
connected with the movement. 1t is
the dome of the court house itself. The
pinnacle will not carry the flag as all
and according to reports, the top Sec
ton of the dome itself is very shaky.
The electrician in charge and repre-
sentatives of the electric light plant
were in the building all the latter part
of the week, making efforts to devise
a way that would be safe, but the flag
does not go to the top. 1t would be
unsafe. That is the order, and it is
a shame.
The unwilling ceremony will have to
go forward Tuesday with the flag in
stalled far up on the tower, but not
pointing into the blue sky from the
highest tip of the dome. The discov-
cry was made too late for proper
bracing in the tower. This may be
done later and the electric flag will
float from the top as soon as it is safe,
to place it there, but some further
work must be done.
Members of the local D. A. R. are
right after the county commissioners.
They spent their good money for the
flag thinking the top of dome would
hold it and now they must be satisfied
with something less than they had ex-
pected. It is said that the builder
Of the court house got away with a
very unsatisfactory piece of work on
the dome and left it unsafe for it's own
weight, not to say anything of the adj
ditional weight of the new electric
flag.
The purpose is yet to put the flag
where it belongs as soon as it is pos
sible to make the dome safe for it.
