TO all Parents and Teachers

Recently, somewhere along the line
of railroad which runs through your
town, the lives of two innocent boys
and one innocent little girl have been
crushed out by an engine or cars.
The loss of these innocent children's
lives was due to their lack of knowl-
edge of the danger of going upon a
railroad track, or on and about cars
Gil railroad track.
This paper is sent you with view
Of interesting all school teachers and
parents in the safety First" move
ment, and in the hope that you will
bring pointedly to the attention Of
your children and your scholars the
danger of going upon a railroad track.
1t is important to educate children
against doing the things that will
likely result in harm to them. The
number Of children killed or manned
on railroads in the United States in a
year is staggering.
Will you not please caution the
children under your care, not once,
but frequently, against walking or
playing upon a railroad track, or
against crossing a railroad track at
any place except public crossing,
and against crossing at any place
without stopping to look and listen?
Particularly warn them against jump
ing on or off of moving or standing
cars.
If you will ask the children under
your charge as to how many of them
go upon or play upon railroad tracks
or cars you will be surprised to find
out the number that do so, wholly I'M
conscious of the great and constant
danger they subject themselves to.
1t is too late after the accident has
happened.
We ask your aid and cooperation
in the Safety First" movement.

MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored Sys-
tenn OF Economic Suicide,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special) --"The peo-
pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made If they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and Injuries of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and q fore
most authority on farm conditions in
the southeast.
'The south must stop forever its
time-honored system of economic sui
cide," says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward q
condition Of farm independence In the
Cotton Belt They were forced steps.
1t is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands Of farm
ers better off than In past years.
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, 1t is
going to be great temptation to
drop back into the old habit of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
fer bread and meat. We are suffer-
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us by conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then. but unnec-
essary now.
"Year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut as a matter Of habit,
eating our crops, SO to speak, before
they were made, financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose little closer to the
credit grindstone.
"If the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted us long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro-
duction by each farmer Of every dol
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that 1t Is posi-
bic to grow on his own acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year"

Continental Weakness.
This story In various ways was

the revolution, always with the same
result. In spite of the brilliant gen.

Schuyler, Lee and others, the Ameri-

the British regular troops when the

CLIFFORD THoRNE, CHAIRMAN or

BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
Declares Presidents Candidate for Gu

deiity, Breach OF Faith and unpro-

Washington. Feb. 11.--Grave charges

by President Wilson as Supreme court

q public hearing before subcommit-
tee. Clifford Thorne. chairman Of the
Iowa railroad commission, caused a
sensation when no deliberately told
the committee that he believed the
presidents candidate guilty Of:
1. Iniidelity, breach of faith and
unprofessional conduct in connection
with one of the greatest cases OF this
generation.
2. Committing himself as counsel

of the solemn senate subcommittee
and made the crowd in the committee
room gasp. He reviewed In detail the
conduct OF himself and Mr.. Brandeis
in the railroad rate case Of 1910 and
1913 before the interstate commerce
commission. He sought to show that
Mr.. Brandeis. after acting for the ship
pers in 1910. had become attorney for
the commission in 1913 and had not
acted In good faith. The object OF his
| testimony was to show chat the con-
duct of Brandeis was unbecoming a
lawyer of judicial temperament" and
that on railroad questions the Supreme
court candidate was already COM
mitted and would not be able to act
Judicially II such questions came be-
fore him as judge of the highest

Mr.. Thorne explained that he met
Mr.. Brandeis during the 5 per cent
advance railroad rate case before the
Interstate commerce commission in
1910. At that time Mr.. Brandeis, he
said. represented the Seaboard Ship
pers' association. Mr.. Thorne said he

Out Of Old Albania.

Save in Epirus. where Greek culture
holds the towns, and even the Mosfem
Albanians OF the hills write (when
they can write at all) In Greek letters,
no foreign influence has yet invaded
the intimate life OF this exclusive race.
Individual Albanians have. indeed.
given their talents to bring unity or
order to the life of other peoples. Half
the captains by land and sea OF the
Greek wars OF Independence we're Al
banians from Epirus or the isles.
Crispi came from the Albanian col
ony in Sicily; the khedivial family
imposed itself ON Egypt; the last
grand vizier of the old regime in Tur-
key was South Albanian magnate.
But no native church, no native litera-
ture, no local field for craftsmanship
has yet exercised the talents OF q
race which is certainly not the least
gifted OF the Balkan peoples Until
recently an Albanian educated was an
Albanian lost.
