one-hfth of all employees is equal to 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost Of transportation to you
without clear mandate from public tri-
bunal speaking for you.
The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the

All p. m.)-German is ready now for
the competition on the sea which will
take place after the war, says Phillip
Heinekin, director OF the North Ger

Every ship destroyed during the
war has been replaced, he said, and
the North German Llyod line has built
four new passenger steamers named
The Zeppelin, Hindenburg, Kolumbus

The company, he added, also in
tends to build large number of 900
ton steamers of a uniform type, in or

it to send cut a swarm of steamers

AUTOMOBILES TRAGEDIES.

The tragic death of the mother of Mr..
Fielding Smith, when informed of her
sons fatal accident between midnight
and day last Sunday morning, impresses
itself very emphatically upon those who
were acquainted with the family and
those who were bound to them by ties Of
interest and affection. Two deaths-two
collins and two funerals-all growing out
of that fatal automobile excursion-al-
most within the limits of Atlanta. The
lesson taught by the incident, deals
mainly with rash automobile driving.
These auto cars rarely kill their owners
and drivers when proper care is taken
a proper speed limit regarded, and prop
er hours used for joy riding. They are
safer than horses-when they are care
fully handled, because a horse, like all
other animals-will take spells of get
ting scared and l have sometimes
thought, owing to defective or failing
eyesight-where least expected. Au-
tomobiles are liable to accidents also,
with defective motors or bursting
wheels. Therefore it is especially pru-
dent to guard against too much speed
and too careless driving.
But the part that moved my earnest
sympathy was the excessive grief of the
motherl am inclined to believe that
her heart-strings snapped, and the vital
spark went out under this strain upon
her motherly affection. Thus II is that
no one lives to themselves or can die to
themselves. For my part, I confess to
a constant fear in speed-driving auto
cars. may yet meet my death as so
many are doing in a wild-auto car, but
I am doing my best to avoid speed-fends
at the wheel, while 1 am in them.

Fruit Culture Along With
Poultry Raising PrOves to
Be Profitable Investment

Of the vigor and resources of the tree
which can be directed toward fruit pro-
duction, and for premature old age and
final destruction of the tree"
1t is obviously impossible to give spe-
cihc directions for pruning. This is
regulated by the kind of tree, it's loca-
ton and other variable factors. So far
as selections permit, each tree should be
as symmetrical and well balanced, not
only because such are more pleasing to
the eye, but because they have the max
!mum bearing surface so distributed as
to receive the required sunlight.
Fruit trees of all kinds are subject to
the attack of insect enemies and diseases
of various kinds When grown in poul-
try yards they seem to suffer less than
in other locations. This may be due to
the fact that they are usually in vigor-
GUS condition, and therefore able to re-
sist disease. and the fowls are maintain
ing constant warfare against the insects.
However, it is not safe to depend en-
tirely upon these favorable conditions.
The only way to insure a good crop of
first-clasS fruit is to spray the trees
with those insecticides and fungicides
which are known to be effective. The
spray mixtures and seasons vary in diff
ferent Localities, so the amateur will do
well to be guided by successful fruit
growers IN MS vicinity. MOSt Seeu ana
poultry supply stores carry spray mix
lures in stock, and can supply full direc-
tons for applying them.
If a piece of land can be conveniently
fenced in for the exclusive use of small
chicks, this may well be set out in
Strawberries. The chicks, even when
quite young, will pick and spoil some of
the ripening fruit; but their presence in
the patch goes far toward insuring a
good crop of berries. They spend their
time searching among the plants for in
sect life, and the good they accomplish
in this way more than offsets the dam
age they do the berfies.
The value of chicks as insect destroy
ers in the patch is being recognized by
commercial growers of strawberries in
sections where this crop is an important
one. A gentleman who annually grows
many acres of these berries in southern
Delaware recently told the writer that
he has become convinced that the best
way to fight the troublesome strawberry
weevil is to locate small flocks of chicks
in various parts of the field and let them
range at will. At that time he was pre-
pairing to hatch several hundred chicks
for this purpose.
