Although party politics has not thin
year been the biggest thing before US,
interest is still intense. perhaps more
intense than since the civil war.
In the Coliseum, at Chicago, and the
new convention hall at ST. Louis, will
be played this June a drama match
less anywhere else in the world, for
here alone can one watch the great
figures Of a nation play the game Of
politics in plain view, with a hundred
million souls and the richest country
on earth as the stakes.
No one can predict what a national
convention will be like. 1t has phases
as varied and as unexpected as a great
battle. It is generally agreed that
president Wilson will get the nominal
ton Of his party by reclamation. This
is the only thing that is fixed, and
one who reads the history of the pasI
may well doubt whether this is as as
sured as most people believe. Like
whirlwind new figures often stalk into
the convention hall, grow to monstrous
size in a few minutes and sweep all
before them.

tives, Champ Clark, who received a

convention four years ago, but was
finally defeated by Mr.. Wilson, said

BRICK WITH EVERY PACKAGE.

Atlanta. Feb. 15.-Georgia may
become the brick center of the uni
verse as an accidental result of the
new prohibition law. That is if Ala
bama doesn't gain that distinction
first. -.
1t seems that Georgia's new anti
shipping law was patterned exactly
after the Alabama law which is al
ready in operation in that State. Now
one of the provisions of that law is
that a man can't receive more than
two quarts at a time.
The four and eight quart pack
ages which were the commonest size,
used to be shipped by freight most
frequently. but a two-Quart package
is lighter than the minimum weight
which can he shipped by freight, and
consequently recipients had to pay
the higher cost of getting it by eX-
press. That is they did until the IL
ouor houses hit upon the eXpedient
of enclosing a brick in every two
quart package.
1t is said that there are already
several carloads of bricks from this
source in Birmingham and Montgom-
cry. and that several of the most de-
voted friends of John Barlevcorn are
planning to build in the spring.

through The Constitution, presents
the analysis of the comparative re-
suits attained in six widely separate
Georgia counties through the use on
the one' hand of a regular potash
fertilizer without limestone, and on
the other lind of a nonpotash ferti-
lizer with ground limestone. The ex-
periments were based upon the theo-
nv that the use of ground limestone
has the effect of releasing in part the
insoluble potash of the natural soil.
The results stated from patches of
the same size are 246 pounds of seed
cotton from the six pounds where
potash was used, and 293 pounds
from the six patches where limestone
was used in place of potash.
Whether these results prove the
theory that limestone releases the ma
tural potash of the soil or not, Pro-
fessor Brogdon gives the information
to the farmers of Georgia for what it
is worth. 1t is at least of wide and
impressive interest that the limestone
fertilizer without potash produced 16
per cent. more seed cotton than did
the potash fertilizer.
But aside from this particular ex-
pertinent and it's results, the great
and important point is that this oun
try through its chemists and scient-
lists is at work as a result of the Eu-
ropean wal upon the problem OF
freeing the farmers of America from
the hold which the German potash
monopoly has long had upon them.
While German potash was selling
from $35 to $40 a ton we were will
ing to go along and pay the price
rather than dig into the secrets CT
nature by expensive processes in or
der to solve the problem here at
home.
Now that the war has cut off our
supply of German potash, and that
chemical has advanced to $500 a ton,
the situation has not only set u
scientists to thinking, but set them
to work. In other words, under the
stress of the moment we are adopting
Germany's methods to find relief
from a situation which the war has
brought upon US.
If it had not been for the European
war we would probably have gone on
paying substantial prices for German
potash fer a couple of decades to
come; but if this wal shall result in
the development in this country of
processes and methods through which
we may be relieved OF this depend
ence upon Germany, so far as Ameri-
can agricultural interests are con-
cerned it will not have been fought
in vain.
Whether it comes through discover
ing available sources of American
potash, or through the use of ma
terials which will serve as substi-
tutes, when it does come, the Ameri-
can farmer will have something for
which to be profoundly thankful.

POINTED

Laughter is the sunny side of a
mans existence.
Wise men make mistakes, but fools
repeat them.
It's better to bow your head than
break your fool neck.
The most difficult thing for some
people to remember is the poor.
Happy is he who lets himself owe
no man and lets no mar owe him.

"MOVlE" PATRONAGE LIGHT
ON BIG FEATURE NIGHTS

Owing to a great falling off in pa
tronage on certain nights, M. G..
Martin, manager of the Unique
theater, states that unless better
crowds are forthcoming at Monday
night shows the prices Of admission
for this night will be raised. up
to-date releases of the Broadway
features are shown on Monday nights
entailing a heavy expense. The
Broadway features are costly, but
are of correspondingly higher
class than other exchanges and
lovers of the movie drama ought to
take advantage of Mr.. Martins eff
forts in providing the very best film
plays that can be obtained.
Theater managers in other cities
charge as high as twenty cents on
Broadway nights, but Mr.. Martin has
kept his price down to the regular
admission in the expectation that
the local public would take advan-
tage of the opportunity.

EPIDEMIC OF GRIP
AMONG LUMBERJACkS

An epidemic of grip is causing
havoc among the lumberjacks in the
woods of Wisconsin. The situation
is especially grave in these cases
because a high percentage Of the
men are said to be addicted to strong
drink, say physicians, and are so
weakened that they are unable to
make effectual resistance to the
disease, which rapidly develops into
an aggravated form of pneumonia.
Carelessness on the part of the
woodsmen also makes them more
liable to contagion, and lack of care
even after the disease has set in
allows cases to progress until they
are beyond help. According to doc
tors, the lumberjack's only idea OF
cure is copious doses of whisky.
