All Work and No Play.

Let the young people speed up the gaietJ
during the winter. 1t will do them no harm,
and will serve to tighten the burden of their
labors and studies. If they are lively and
skittsh they have the promise of useful ca
reers, while if they are constantly kept in
subsection and treated as hot house plants
they will be just about as virile and as use
full when they grow to maturity
And that brings out the thought that the
young people are not the only ones who
need more life to produce the best there IS
in them We older heads need it even more
than they, for we are growing older and our
Joints need exercise and our brains are cry
ing for relaxation, and nature just naturally
wants to shake off that spirit of lethargy
and brush the cobwebs from our reason. the
brightness of social jollity would put new
life into us, too, for nature, you know, is
inexorable in it's demands.

Biennial Sessions
From the Rome Tribupe-Herald.

In advocating biennial sessions of u
Georgia legislature the Albany Herald call
attention to the fact that from June, 1911
to November, 1915, we had three sessions 0
the legislature with all the consequent heaV
expense and political poppy-cock turne
loose by small politicians The Herald int
mates that there is a sentiment growin
against so much expense for Legislature
when half of the time is not spent in bus
ness, but in useless oratory, verbal fighting
chickering's, organizing factions for state con
troll and for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Some of the weather. and more promI
nent members spend large portion OF thes
time in social affairs, playing poker and co
railing influence for themselves in state pO
tics. The poor members from the back cou
ties put up at cheap boarding houses al
save money out of their salaries for use
home. OF course the politicians want ext
sessions, for politics is their business, an
a session of the legislature is pohttS
cauldron continually boiling.
Georgia is getting sick of her Legislature
and sicker of politics Professional lobbe
lists swarm around each session of the legE
lature in spite of the laws that have beH
PASSED to prevent lobbying. We never hea
of anybody being punished for it.
The prohibition question has been III
tled-we hope for some time to come
haps this will afford the next leglslall
more time, to attend to other matters
pressing Importance. 1t may be that sol
other political issue will spring up Tor
professional politicians to devote their u
and talents to. There are too many seSslo
of the legislature, but there seems no cha
for reform at present.

That man Pierpont, who is filling an I'M
expired term as mayor, seems to have put
one over on" the Savannah politicians. He
had reason to suspect that plans were on
foot to have him legislated from office next
summer, and he forthwith enlisted the sym
pathy of the powerful prohibition element
of the state by declaring that he will enforce
the new dry laws. The prohibitionists will
largely predominant in the legislature, and
may be depended upon to see to it that the
Pierpont hide is saved. Mr.. Pierpont has
pulled off stunt worthy of an old and
trained politician.

A NEW ERA IN FARMING.

From the Triton Gazette
Terrell is a cotton-producing county, yet
this week one of its farmers will ship a car
load of one hundred hogs to Moultrie
Gradually the South Georgia counties are
learning to not put all their eggs in one bas-
ket and the greatest incentive to diversif-
cation is the packing-house. The Dawson
News justly heralds this shipment as mark
ing the beginning of new era in farming in
that section.

DAME FASHION AND THE GRIPPE.

From the Savannah News
Grip is no respecter of persons or styles,
and New York society women are being
made to realize that fact. The health au-
thorities there have declared war on the
high neck furs and the high skirts which
expose more of the ankles than is necessary
These two innovations among the seasons
fashions are said to invite attack by the
germs of grip and influenza. For once Dame
Fashion is likely to bow to health laws, for
the doctors, claiming that women who dress
that way are aiding and abetting the grin
epidemic, advise the men to avoid them.

General Victoriano Huerta, who was pro-

Ell Paso, Texas, Thursday. General Huerta
was a soldier and ruled with an iron hand,

support that was given adventures and
bandits who have kept alive the revolution
and ravaged the republic across the Rio

HALF OF NATIONS
CROPS NOT MOVED

Washington. Nov. l.--Prospect OF
a nationwide fuel shortage. through
lack OF freight cars, was strengthen
ed today by reports to the depart
ment OF agriculture indicating less
than half OF the nations crops have
yet been moved to distributing CEN
tiers. The coming month is the
heaviest crop moving month of the
year; more than Is per cent OF all
crops leaving the farm for the mar
kets during this period.
While wheat and corn and other
grains have been rushed to the mar
ket this season earlier than ever be-
fore. in order to profit by prevailing
high prices. officials here believe that
certainly less than half the nations
crops have yet been moved.
Evidences Of an absolutely serious
shortage OF fuel accumulated today
with reports from middle western and
eastern industrial cities OF actual sus-
pension Of activity through lack OF
fuel.

POETS AS PuNsTERs.
Even Shakespeare and Milton Broke
Into This Form of Humor.

Even Shakespeare and Milton Broke
Into This Form of Humor.
Shakespeare was an inveterate pun
ster, and DIR. Johnson in his preface to
an edition to the poets works deplores
his habit of punning on serious occa-
sions. Hamlet is made to pun when
he asks the gravedigger:
Whose graves thisY'
Mine, SIR answers the clown.
Hamlet replies:
81 think it be thine indeed, for thou
lest int and adds later. Thou dost
lie int to be int and say it is thine
To King Richards question. What
comfort, man? How is't with ancient
Gaunt?' Shakespeare makes Gaunt re-
ply: "Old Gaunt indeed and gaunt in
being old. Within me grief has kept a
tedious fast. And who abstains from
meat that is not gauntg'
Milton is the last poet one. would
think to be guilty of punning. and yet
he once wrote punning epitaph upon
carrier who piled betweea Cambridge
and London and who died after losing
his trade on account of the plague
This carrier was the Hobson whose
"choice" is so famous. He used to hire
out horses, but travellers had to take
the horse Hobson offered or none. so
that "Hobson's choice" came TO mean
no choice at all.
The whole poem, written on the death
Of this carrier. is full of puns. One pas
sage runs:
Rest that gives all men life gave him his
death,
And too much breathing put him out Of
breath,
Nor were it contradiction to affirm
Too long vacation FASTENED on his term.
Cowper made a pun which has be-
come quite famous In the poem de
scribing the ride of John Gilpin, who
had to go where his horse took him
and eventually arrived at the house OF
friend from whom the horse had
been borrowed, Gilpin says:
came because your horse would come
And if I wen forbode,
My hat and wig will soon be here.
They are upon the road.
Tom Hoods humorous poetry is full
Of puns In 1.-THE Lady's Dream" be
writes:
They talked together like two cyclists
| In conversation all made up of eyes.
And in THE Mermaid OF Margate. be
says:
On Margate beach, where the sick on,

And the sentimental reads.
Where the maiden firts and the widow
comes
Like the ocean-to cast her weeds.
But examples could be multiplied in

At forty odd befell.

The sexton tolled the bell.
