GROW QUEER CROP DOWN IN GEORGIA
IT CAME UP IN ONE NIGHT
Never Saw Anything Like It Before Worth $14,OOO-How'sT That? The Dry Climate, My BOy-TwO Car Loads of Booze Seized.

Since they began to try to enforce State prohibition in Georgia, several months ago, some queer things have developed. Georgia went "dry" eight years ago, but bad liquor has beer. plentiful and could always be obtain ed by the drinker. Made desperate the authorities are now making [ strenuous attempt to enforce the law
 The following is from the Tipton (Ga.) Gazette:
 "The story is told that whiskcy man had two car loads of wet goods en route to Fitzgerald via the Allan tic Coast Line and it's connections al Pinebloom, the Ocilla, Pinebloom X Valdosta.
 Before it's arrival the officers over in Ben Hill suddenly evidenced all alarming disposition to enforce the new prohibition law. Several raids were made and several thousand gal. Ions of liquor seized, some of it De ing taken from cribs and barns neal the city of Fitzgerald.
 "This condition Of affairs alarmed the man to whom the liquor was con signed and the s. o. s. sign was sent out to stop two car loads en route estimated in value at $14,O0O.
 Report says the two cars were shifted off to a siding, awaiting in. structions. They contained 50 bar. rels of liquor in bulk and number of cases of bottled good. Over night the bottled goods disappeared, and when the sheriff of Coffee count! came next day to take formal charge of the shipment only the barrel goods were there. Near the siding where the cars stood, was cornfield. fresh ly plowed. The sheriff set guard of four men over the cars the first night, and To, and behold! next morn, ing they saw seven barrels were gone
 "Then the sheriff got busy. Acting on a tip, he investigated the freshly plowed cornfield and found between the rows hundreds of bottles of cas, liquor, carefully planted end to end along the middles. and then covered with the blow. The plant was re- covered before it had time to sprOuj and the bottled goods were also ir the tolls of the law .''-Adv.

EXTRAvAGANT EUGENE.

The Empress Boasted That She Never
 Wore a Gown Twice.
 It is true that the cost of women's dress has so increased that it is not given to the many to be as truly ele- gant as their grandmothers were able to be at comparatively small cost But, then, those were the days when an elaborate ball gown consisted of yards of fOunces of tarlatan or some other light and uncOstly material.
 Empress Eugenie. 1t Is said, declared ;he never wore the same gown twice. She it was, by the way, who made Worth. the renowned Paris couturier. famous. The great luxury in those days was to wear several ball gowns during the course of single ball. Dressing rooms were provided, and the ladies retired to reappear resplendent and as fresh as at the beginning of the evening. The gowns of the day, which were flimsy of train and spread by crinolines, suffered much from an evenings wear; hence these wasteful ways.
 There is a tale of the lovely Empress Elizabeth of Austria which recounts her appearing at function in a white tulle gown, flounced and ample, deco. rated with garlands of real camellias. and changing both gown and camellias every now and then to preserve the impression of absolute and uncrumpled freshness.-VOgue Magazine.

Havs a Chsery Kitchen.

One should bear in mind that the kitchen is the engine room of the home. and the comfort and happiness of the family depend upon its running smooth ly and we'll Lack of system, made quate equipment, inconvenient arrange ment of furniture and utensils and the total absence of beauty and cheer are the things that make drudgery of hOusework. Servants are as suscepti' ble to surroundings as their mistresses. and the little aids to housework. such as cheerful aspect and pretty furnish. ings, do much to secure a more loyal interest and cooperation. A harmoni' ous environment in a kitchen will go a long way toward making a happy home. - Harriet Sisson Gillespie in Mothers Magazine.

AMERICAN HYMN WRITERS.

John Quincy Adams, Our Sixth PrssI.
 dent, Was One of Them.
 There has. been no American hymn writer to compare with Isaac Watts or Charles Wesley. both of whom wrote hundreds of hymns which have become classic. but several Americans have written hymns of recognized merit, some of which are still sung in churches.
 John Quincy Adams. sixth president of the United States and previously minister to Russia and secretary of state, wrote several hymns which were sung in Congregational churches though he was Unitarian. He wrote a metrical version of the Psalms. which was published after his death.
 The Longfellow brothers. Henry w. and Stephen both wrote some good hymns. Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner" wrote a thanksgiving hymn beginning. "Befosc. the Lord we bow" which used to be sung at Fourth of July celebrations. The two Cary sisters. Alice and Phoebe, who lived near Cincinnati. both wrote some fine hymns. Phoebe wrote the hymn beginning. "One sweetly solemn thought"
 Other Americans who have written good hymns were John Pierpont, Charles Beecher, brother of Henry Ward Beechcr, and Mrs. Van Alstyne Fanny Crosby. who wrote more hymns than any of the others above named.-Philadelphi Press.

A BIG FEATURE FILM
COMING TO THE ISIS SOON

The Battle Cry OF Peace, Wnlch Is
coming to the Isis in the near future,
deals with the subject which is today
nearest the heart of every American
citizen-the problem of Americas un-
preparedness.
1t portrays the defenseless condition
of our country; the consequences to
which this condition may lead; and
the way to avoid these consequences.
The city of New York is attacked by
a powerful foreign foe. You are an
eyewitness. You see the enemy ap-
preaching, the powerlessness of the
city, the inadequacy of it's forts and
defenses. You see the havoc wrought
by the enemy's cruisers, its subma-
rines, it's airships-by its shells,
sharpnel, bombs. You see the most
beautiful skyline in the world in
flames; the metropolis of the western
hemisphere devasted.
You see New York fall into the
hands of the enemy; and the desecra-
ton that follows.
Then you are shown the way that
such a calamity can be avoided-the
one way. You are shown the way to
peace-the peace for which America
so earnestly prays-the peace with
honor. The Battle Cry of Peace was
written by ]. Stuart Blackton and Wit
agraphed under his personal supervi-
sion on scale never before attempted
in motion pictures.
Acknowledgment is made to Hudson
Maxim, International authority on
arms and ammunition, for facts con-
tanned in his "Defenseless America, /"

cans in army, navy and administrative
circles for cooperation and advice.

tional Importance appear personally
