To a Coffee Merchant.-Three years
ago, attracted by your advertisements,
began to use your coffee. Shortly
afterward one OF my husbands broth
ers came on what we supposed was a
brief visit, He was loud in his praises
OF the coffee I served, drinking two
or three cups with every meal. He
had been all around the world, he said.
but nowhere had he met with such
coffee. He prolonged his stay from
week to week and from month to
month because he could not bear to
put himself beyond the reach OF that
coffee. Once he left for few days,
but was compelled to hasten back.

Veterinarians Needed
For Georgia Livestock
Industry Worth s1oo,ooo,ooo Requires
Protection

ANDREW M. SoULE, President Geor-
gIa State College OF Agriculture
The aggregate of our live stock in
terests Is not generally appreciated for
the animals now owned on Georgia
farms are easily worth 500, 900, 900.
In 1910 the state was credited In the
federal census with owning about $751;
100000 worth of live stock. Within
period of six years, therefore, there
has been an increase in the value of
live stock Of approximately $22, 200, 900,
and this in the face of the fact that
the shipment of very considerable
number of mules to Europe on &C
count of the war conditions prevailing
there has tended to reduce not only
the number but the value of our ami
mails as well. At the present time
there are only about fifty licensed vet
erinarians practieing in the state Of
Georgia. Most of these live in towns
and cities, and there are many farmers
in the state who are more than one
hundred miles from a competent vet
erinarian; and even if they could Sc
cure his services in time, it would be
at an almost prohibitive cost. It may
thus be said with propriety that farm.
ers living out in the open country
would find it extremely difficult to Sc
cure the aid of competent veterina-
rian, and that this condition is not

made for the training of very consid-
cradle number of men in the underly-
ing principles of veterinary medicine.
That some provision for instruction
of this character should be made is
evidenced by the very considerable
number Of applications received from
young men who desire to study veter-
mary medicine. In view of this fact,
the trustees of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture have endeavored
to meet the situation by authorizing
the establishment of the first two
years of a degree course in veterinary
medicine. This will be open to any
young man in Georgia seventeen years
of age and who is able to present four
teen units for entrance. 1t is the earn
est hope of the trustees that at the
end of two years through the aid of
the state they may be able to add
the junior work of training veterina-
rians within the state who are ac-
quainted with local conditions, in SYM
pathy with the people living in the
open country, and who naturally be-
lieve in Georgia and it's future posi-
bilities along live stock production.

FOR COURT OF APPEALS JUDGE

John B. Hutchinson, of Ashburn, Ca,
asks the votes, support and influence
OF the readers of this paper for one of
the three judgeships of the state court

Legislature.
MIR. Hutcheson is a native of Geor-

Educated in the schools of his ma
tive city and, later, at the University
of Georgia, he studied law and was
admitted to the bar at Jonesboro in
1885, so that he has been in constant
and active practice of his profession
for the last thirty years.
AS young man, with ambition
Mr.. Hutchinson taught school in Clay

solicitor of the city court of Jones'
boro, as mayor of that city, and, in the
legislature which has just adjourned,
as representative from Turner county,
his present home.
In legislative halls Mr.. Hutchinson
was always worker for the people.
He was vice chairman of the general
judiciary and Western and Atlantic
committees of the house, and a mem
Der of the education committee. He
was specially appointed as a member
of the subcommittee by the prohibit
ton caucus of the general assembly to
redraft the present prohibition bills
and press their passage in the house.
AS an advocate of effective prohibition,
he lent his best efforts to the cause.
For many years Mr.. Hutcheson has
served as, and is still, member of
the board of trustees of the Georgia
Normal and Industrial College for
young women at Milledgeville, attends
every commencement and devotes
much time and attention to the growth
and welfare of that well-known insti-
tuition.
Mr.. Hutcheson has many friends
throughout the state, lawyers and
others, who have given him their in
dorsement along with the bar of his
home city and those of other commu-
mites surrounding Ashburn.

Selecting A Location
For An Orchard

ia. state CoIe9e VI agriculture
Many people are preparing to plant
peach and apple orchards. At plant
ing time, the location of the orchard
is not always given the consideration
that it merits At marketing time To-
cation is very, very important. How
well is the orchard located with refer
ence to railroad facilities? How far
from the loading station? What sort
of roads must be used to haul over?
These are the questions the orchard
lists should answer before planting.
A large peach grower who was only
two miles from the loading station,
found, during rainy season, that the
job of hauling the peaches from his
packing shed to the cars was tremen-
dous. After the first few loads, the
roads became very badly cut up, later
they became almost impossible. There
are very few places where conditions
make it advisable to plant a peach
orchard over three miles from the
loading point. Apple orchards are

usually four miles is the limit.
AS long as there is an abundance
of suitable land near the railroads,
use it. The difference in price is very
seldom sufficient to justify the differ
ence in cost of hauling. Yet, the ac-
tual cost of hauling does not tell the
whole tale. Cars move away from
the depot according to freight SEIZED
ules and also come into the depot in
the same way. The orchard closest
has an advantage in getting his fruit
moved quickly, and this is Of spe-
cial Importance with peaches.

HOWE HAS PLANS
IN BROADENING
TAX AC TIV|T !

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 29.-
Recommendation for broadening the
activities of the National Tax associa-
ton were made today by the presi-
dent, Samuel T. Howe, of Kansas, in
his annual address to the members at
tending the National Tax conference
here. He suggested educational cam
lpaigns to lessen governmental expendi-
lures and to provide for additional
"bome rule" legislation. He also CON
demned the Washington administration
centralize authority In addition, he
for its tendency, as he termed it. 70
made vigorous plea for the enactment
of uniform tax laws throughout the
country.
Heretofore the chief aim of this
association and its co-relatiye organi-
cation, the National Tax conference an
nually held, has been to promote tax
reformation among the states to he
end that the burden of raising public
revenue should be distributed among
the citizens in manner more relative
ly equal than could possibly be done
under most prevailing revenue sys-
terms" Mr.. Howe said.
There seems to be at least two other
ends towards which the efforts of the
association may well be devoted in
order to enhance the public interest.
First: An organized effort to be
vigorously exerted for the purpose 81
showing the people the great desira-
bility of limiting public expenditures to
the needs of government economically
administered.
Second: A dissemination of infor.
nation necessary to convince the pub
lice that every effort should be made to
control and direct the tendencies to
centralize governmental powers so as
to leave the greatest possible oppor-
tunity for the exercise of Home Rule"
Mr.. Howe declared that movement
to centralize the exercise of govern.
mental power was akin to centralizing
tendencies apparent in industrial and
commercial fields.
Perhaps the most important exam
rle of the kind" he continued, sis the
large assumption Of power by the fed
eral government which has occurred
within the past quarter Of century
and is likely to be continued in in.

About $4,000 is now in the hands
of the local branch OF the Hongwanji
Mission, Japanese religious organi-
Zation, for the erection in Honolulu
of handsome Buddhist temple which,
when completed, will cost in the neigh
borhood Of 100000. 5.rl
The movement to erect the temple
was begun in Honolulu about two
years ago. Rev. Emio Imamura, head
OF the Hongwanji Mission here, TAX
ing the leading part in the collection
of the funds. The latest report re-
garding finances is that the 100000
needed to erect the temple has been
pledged, although only about 100000
in actual cash has been turned into
the fund.
II is expected that the contract for
the erection Of the temple will be
let in about week, in which case
actual construction will begin about
the middle of February. The temple,
1t is reported. is to be unusually beau
tiful and unique in design, combining
both japanese, American and Siamese
architecture. 1t will be erected in
Fort street, near the present Hong
wanji Mission, and doubtless will be
the finest place of worship ever built
in the United States by Japanese peo-
pie. Fl. II.
According to the Nippu Jill, the To-
cal Japanese daily newspaper, plenty
of time is being given the subscribers
in which to pay the money which
they have pledged. Some persons,
says that paper, pay all the way from
Is cents to IS each month, thus en-
abling the mission to collect as high
as $4,000 each month towards the
fund. The local Hongwanji Mission,
while branch Of the great Japanese

the handling of its finances Is con-
