1t doubtless will prove of interest
to those farmers who are already
growing corn and to those who are
planning to do so to get Mr.. John

planted and managed his corn field
this year. 1t is as follows::
"My soil is loan. 1t is 31a feet

land has been farmed eight years.
The land was plowed March 10, 1915.
1t was plowed eight inches deep.
After blowing the land was irrigated,
then disced and narrowed.
"The soil was in good condition
when planted. Manure was applied
to the land March 1, 1915. The land
was irrigated before corn was planted
and the corn received its first irri-

MAN WHO LOST HIS CAR RECov-

TON GARAGE, IN A DILAPI-
DATED CONDITION.

w. n. McGraw yesterday made a
trip to F1omaton and identified his
own car, which had been stolen from
him in the city and driven as far
north as Brewton, where, it was said,
spring was broken and return
run was made to Flomaton, where it
was placed in a garage and appar-
entity deserted. When McGraw
reached the garage yesterday, he
readily identified the car, and it was
turned over to him. It was In bad
shape. In addition to the broken
spring, it was found that the bear
ings had been burned out. In this
condition, however, Il was driven by
the owner TO Pensacola.
McGraw has yet not been able to
figure out how he had been enmeshed
in the tire-stealing few nights ago.
Making a statement in his own behalf
last night, he said that when all this
was going on, he was asleep, and that
he was awakened and taken to the
city Jail. Later, he was amazed when
informed that he was accused of be-
ing concerned in the tire taking. How
ever, after going to the county courts,
his case was mol pressed yesterday.
Several boys who were concerned
in this work had levees in the Office
of the county Judge yesterday. One
was allowed to go, with the stiffest
sort of a lecture, while another was
ordered held to the pleasure Of the

CEED WITHOUT INTERRUPT
TToN.-sOME NEW STUDENTS
ENROLLED.
SPECIAL no THE JoURNAr.

De Funiak Springs, Jan. 15.-Pal-
mer College has begun the winter
with every old student back in place
and ready for work. It is very graft
flying and encouraging that the work
of the school may thus go on without
interruption or delay. Several new
students have been enrolled and more
are expected in few days. The sec
ond half year will begin on February
the first. At that time new students
may enter to advantage, and It is ex-
pected that quite few viii take ad-
vantage of the unusual opportunities
In environment, in methods of train
ing, and in the special departments,
afforded by this splendid West F7ori-
da institution. It is to be regretted
that the excellent training given by
this school is denied to many because
Of the necessary, though very reason
able, charges of the institution. The
school is making an effort to extend
the sphere of it's usefulness by secur-
ing scholarships hich provide the tut
ton fees of worthy students who
could not otherwise avail themselves
of its opportunities. A perpetual
scholarship may be established to be
awarded annually to some worthy boy
or girl, by the donation of one thou
sand dollars to the Institution; or on
the payment of sixty-five dollars a
year until the donation is discon-
tinued. 1t would be difficult to find
a more suitable memorial, or a more
helpful way of using a small sum
of money, than this plan affords:
Already fifteen such scholarships
have been established.

FATE.

Two shall be born the whole wide
world apart,
And speak in different tongues and
have no thought,
Each of the others being, and no
heed;
And these Ger unknown seas, to UNI
known lands,
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defyins
death;
And all unconsciously shape every
act
And bend each wandering step to this
one end
That some day out of darkness they
shall meet
And read life's meaning in each
others eyes.
And two shah walk some narrow way
of life,
So nearly side by side that should
one turn
Every SO little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged
face TO face;
And yet with wistful eyes that never
meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp,
and lips
Calling in vain to ears that never
hear,
They seek each other all their weary
days
And die unsatisfied. And this is Fate.
