For Efficient FARMING.

Efficiency is as necessary on the
farm as in the factory. the shop or
the store. To be efficient in farming
involves certain amount OF pre-
paredness Just as to be efficient in
war involves careful and scientific
preparation. 1t behooves every young
man who expects to secure his living
from the soil to prepare himself for
his life work just as thoroughly as his
circumstances will permit. He may
do this by studying at home and by
observing the methods of successful
farmers.

Diversified Farming Pays.

The farmers who have no trouble
in meeting their obligations and
whose balance sheet shows a net
profit each year are those who are
diversitying their farming interests.
They are stocking the farms with
pure-bred live stock and are giving
stock .raising some attention, in
stead of concentrating on cotton.
Last year Mr.. G. M. Williams and
his son made as much. more clear
money in fact, on their hogs and
colts as they did on their field crops.
They made one "trip TO market last
fall with a wagon loaded with one
bale of cotton and some hogs, the
hogs selling for as much as the cot
ton. That is the way to make farm
ing pay. Do not depend entirely on
cotton as money crop. Diversity

D. "A. R. Meeting.

One of the most pleasant social
functions of the winter season was
held at the hospitable home Of Mrs.
Belts Cantelou when she entertain
ed the Daughters of the American
Revolution at the January meeting
on Tuesday afternoon. li
A memorial service for one of the
most beloved and capable members,
Mrs. J. H. Allen, registrar of the
chapter, was first in the order of eE-
ercises, the members standing dur
ing the reading of appropriate Sc
lections and prayer. pe
Mrs. w. g. Tompkins was ap.
pointed charity officer in response
to a request from the state superin-
tendent that all chapters join ina
movemen. for civic betterment. The
regent. Mira. N. u. Evans, and Mrs.

as delegate and alternate to the ma
tional congress which meetspni
April in Washington. A petition
for the prevention CT the desecra-

position to some of suggestions made
by Pres. Wilson in his address to con-
gress yesterday, there was an air Of
optimism present as senate interstate
commerce committee met to weave
presidents suggestions into legisla-
tive form.
Senate Democratic and Republican
members are unanimous on one
point: The strike must be prevented.
For this reason it was tentative
plan to rush through senate bill con-
tanning only those suggestions Of the
president which will achieve this
without being subject to attack and
ruinous delay through debate.
This effort being successful, it was
agreed that provisions which would
engender long debates could be TAX
en- up as amendments at later date.
Inquiry among members. of con-
gress who are classed as progressive
Democrats or progressive Repubi-
cans and who might, it was felt, be-
opposed to provisions which would
seem to be greatly to advantage OF
railroads, disclosed that these pro-
gressives might be expected to sup
port those provisions which provide
for:
An eight-hour day, authorization
of a commission to study and report
to congress on the effects of the
eight-hour day, commission of me-
diation, Cancellation and arbitration,
with a clause compelling delay in
future strikes until this commission
might investigate.
The progressives will be opposed
to provisions which call for enlarge
ment of interstate commerce COM
mission and increase of freight
rates to compensate roads for pos
sible wage raises.

Wilson today was .exerting every
effort to secure from the railroad
brotherhood leaders a withdrawal of
their strike order, effective Sept. 4.
Believing that congress is certain
to pass legislation such as the broth
erhoods are demanding, administra-
ton officials have pointed out the
trainmen would have nothing to gain
by striking and everything to lose.
Thus far, however, the brother
hoods have indicated no intention Of
resembling their strike order.
The railroad strike tying up every
piece of rolling stock in the country
will be in effect Monday, brother
hood men said today. The order for
it includes every brotherhood man in
the United States in passenger
and in freight traffic.
While the freight men are the only
ones making demands, the passenger
men are included in the strike order.
The unions have decided the leg
islatiVe program will not alter their
determination to strike; prominent
brotherhood men reiterated today
that only railroad acceptance of the
8-hour-day 1O-hour-pay proposal can
head off the tieup.

under heaven short of a satisfactory
settlement by the railroads can pre-
