SILK Stockings and Neck
Ties From Wood Pulp

The substitution by the Germans of wood
pulp for cotton in the manufacture of eX-
plosives calls attention to the properties of
this wonderful product, which has already
wrought more than one revolution in the
manufacturing world.
Wood pulp is just what its name implies,
and is obtained by disintegrating wood either
by mechanical or chemical process. The
former variety is prepared by grinding it
under water 1t is inferior in quality, as
the fibers are short and the product readily
discOlors Under the chemical process the
wood is cut up and boiled under pressure
with a solution of caustic soda, sodium sui
phide, or, best of all, calcium bisulphite, and
the resulting soft product is pulped, pressed,
washed and bleached.
1t was the use of this material that so
reduced the cost of paper as to make the
cheap newspaper possible.
1t is a far cry from high explosives and
cheap newspapers to ladies' stockings and
silk neckties, yet the latter no less than
the former are nowadays commonly prod
ucts of the same origin.
Of course the extensive use of wood pulp
for articles of clothing is not strange. Gel
lulOse, which is employed in enormous guam
titles in the fbrous state in the form of cot
ton, linen, jute, hemp, etc, is the chief COM
ponent of all vegetable tissues in which it
exists in elongated cells or fibers. Cotton
wool and fiber papers are almost pure cellu-
lose. 1t is only matter of technical skill
to convert to textile uses the cellulose of
the spruce tree instead of using that of the
cotton plant.
Nor is the course of wood pulp run when
it is made into textiles or papers. The pa
per itself, when it has served its turn, goes
back into the boiler and once more becomes
pulp. Mixed with starch paste or glue and
pressed it is then forced into molds, previ-
ously oiled, and we have that useful product,
papier mache.
The commercial value of this commodity
has of late years been greatly enhanced by
the ingenuity and skill of decorative artists,
especially the French. The rich, mural mold
ings that give so imposing an aspect to GER
tain of our public buildings are a superior
kind of pulp product.

MIGHTY CONTRASTS.
Bones of Ancient Egyptian Kings Fairly
Ratified by Rushing Trolleys.
On no spot of earth today will the traveller

On no spot of earth today will the traveller
find such combination of the oldest of the
old and the newest of the new as in Cairo,
Egypt, the oldest surviving city of the Afri-
can continent, writes a traveller. In the
immediate vicinity the mightiest work of
architecture of the ancient world, the great
Pyramid of Gizeh, casts its evening shadow
on the electric car, one of the marvellous
products of our modern progress, that shad-
ow bridging over an interval of 5000 years.
The southern extremity of the city example
fies the Architecture of $500 years ago; the
northern extremity possesses all the luXuri-
Gus magnifcence of buildings of the present
day; the intervening sections are burrowed
through with the narrow thoroughfares of
the middle ages; the newer quarters are dec
GRATED with boulevards of Partisan model.
The street scenes abound in loose-fowing
robes of the patriarchs of 5000 years ago,
and in the tght-ftting garments of the mod
ern north; in yelled and shrouded figures of
Egyptian ladies, resembling the Biblical rep
reservations of Rebecca and of Rachael, and
contrasting on the same sidewalk with the
latest Partisan fashions, which adorn their
daintily gowned and smartly vested sisters
from the west, in long trains of camels, sug-
gestive of the days of Abraham, and in mod
ern equipages of rushing speed and luXu-
rious comfort. There are palatial hotels
and princely mansions and gaudy villas and
unSlghtly mudWaIl CABINS, with Squalld pow
erty peering through the paneless windows.
There is the slow pace and the gentle patter
of the donkey, bearing its single passenger
humbly along, as in the days of Joseph, and
the kissing of the electric car, with its
crowded human freights, rushing past with
the calmness of tremendous force in its
tranquil motion.
A few minutes in that car will bring the
traveller to the famous museum where the
pharoOhc who do tbQ history of the world
thousands of years ago may still be seen in
the very flesh in which they lived These are
some of the instances of EXTREMIST contrast
in this strange city of the living mingling
together in a history of $500 years, and in
a population of 10000 souls

An important Gathering.

One of the most important and far-reach-
ing conventions ever held in this or any
other section of Georgia is the Live Stock
Conference which will convene at Moultrie
today for a session of two days.
Thousands of invitations have been sent
broadcast over the country, and prominent
stockmen and cattle experts from agricult-
ural colleges will be present from many sec
tions, and take part in the meeting.
The object of the meeting is to educate
the people of South Georgia in profitable
livestock raising and to inspire them to
greater and more intelligent efforts along
that line of endeavor. The News would urge
upon every one of its readers who is inter-
ested in diversified agriculture to attend this
meeting Much that will be of profit can
be learned there.
This section of Georgia has long led the
rest of the state in the production of cot
ton, but it is now turning away from the
one-crop system and on many farms can be
found pure-bred hogs and cattle for breed
ing purposes. In the course of time, and g
short time at that, South Georgia will occupy
first place in stock-raising as well as in the
production of cotton.

OUR BOYS.

Ralph Methvin Thomson in Savannah News.
If fate should will that they must fight
Against their country's common foe;
Should they at length be called to right
The wrongs of savage Mexico;
Oh, follow, Father, in their wakes,
Wherever they may be assigned,
And guard and keep them for the sakes
Of those whom they shall leave behind.
If fortune should elect to send
Them in the thickest of the fray;
If on their efforts should depend
The outcome of a single day;
Eternal Master of us all,
See to it, in the battles spell,
That when death strikes at great and small
Thy angels may attend them we'll
The humblest life we can not spare
We would not have one heartbeat cease
So. when the bugles everywhere
Shall sound their lifting notes of peace
Remember. Lord, into whose hands
Columbia commits her men,
From foreign shores and alien lands
To bring them safely home again.

Our Fertilizer Bill.

Few people, even here in Terrell county,
where the farmers are noted for the heavy
use of commercial fertilizers, have any idea
of the enormity of the guano bill of the ma
ton.
The Home and Farm, one of the foremost
agricultural papers, says one hundred and
seventy-seven millions of dollars were ex-
pended for commercial fertilizers in the
United States during the year 1914. Of this
amount seventy-eight millions was paid for
nitrogen, sixty-five millions for phosphoric
acid, and forty-three millions for potash.
Germany is about the size of the state of
Texas, yet she uses more fertilizers than the
entire United States; that is, she yearly in
vests in fertilizers two hundred millions of
dollars.
This accounts partly for her increased
yield per acre of ali grains, though that ave-
erage yield, too, is partly due to the fact
that the larger yield is always on the smaller
acreage.
1t is larger on smaller acreage because
that acreage can be better cultivated, and,
second, because it does not include any but
very productive lands, whereas on the acre
age of the United States good and bad lands
are alike included.

JUNE.
From the Anniston Scar.

June! Month of poetic ecstacy, brides
and redbugs! Rare month of sunburn tan
and freckles! Joyous month of Sunday
school picnics, yellow jackets and red ants
Frivolous month"; when midsummer madness
stalks through the land anG young men get
knee-deep in debt!
Perfect month, when the precious odors
of honeysuckle and rose, waited on the soft
est of southern zephyrs, gently caress the
weary souls of earth, and when the song
of birds and hum of bees lull mankind into
slumber and sweet dreamsl
Sweet June dreams! That is, they would
be sweet if the mosquitoes and flies would
let US alone. But-swat the fly!
Poets must be thick-skinned. They sing
of the lowing kline standing knee-deep in the
lush grass of June, but fail to see that these
same kline are tick-infested and half-crazed
with flies. They picture verdant woods
where they can lie under the trees, and lie
and lie, and lie, and never feel the bite of
redbug. They go into raptures over the
June moon reflected in the lake, while gath
ering a stock of ecstacies and pond lilies,
and they never feel mosquito bite. They
find tongues in the signing of the trees,
books in the running brooks, sermons in
stones, and good in everything "-and are
immune alike to red ants and rattlesnakes,
sunburn and freckles, perspiratiOn and
prickly heat. It's great to be June poet
and be immune from the things that annoy
other people

A Losing Proposition.

The Atlanta Constitution reports that the
government has sent an order to Georgia
for the purchase of large number of mules
for use in the Mexican campaign, and adds
that it twill bring much money here" Just
to the contrary is true Experience, numer-
GUS times in the past, has taught that every
mule sold for war purposes costs the farm
ers money The buyer fixes the limit and
pays an outrageously low price for every an
imal that is bought, and when the farmer re-
places the mule that has been sold he pays
the dealer twice as much for one no better.
Selling mules at 500 to $3.50 for war pur-
poses and when their crops were pitched re-
placing them at 5000 to $3.50 each has cost
the farmers of Terrell county alone many
thousands of dollars.

Responding Promptly.

The spirit of patriotism is alive through
out Georgia, and there has been quick anc
enthusiastic response to the call for volun,
teers for service on the Mexican border, OF
in Mexico if need be. The state is showing
up in a most creditable manner.
Here in Dawson and Terrell county there
is considerable activity. A hospital corps OF
twenty-five or more men have already gone
to the front, and will be followed by the
Second regiment band, composed of Dawson
and Terrell county young men, as soon as it
can be recruited to the required number.
The way they are responding is most pleas
ing and commendable.

SOAP OF THE OLD DAYS.

From the Conyers Times.
Great Jehosiphat! Would you believe
it? The price of soap is going up. 1t
is said to be due to the shortage of oils
and fats. Soap manufacturers, accord
ing to reports, say it is hard to get the
raw materials.-Dawson News.
Not so many years ago the price of soap
didn't interest many people. Not that they
didn't use it--for they did, and in copious
quantities, as memories of ear-scrubbings
testify-but that most people made their
own soap. We can remember when store
bought soap was rarity in the countryside,
and most homes had regular soap-making
days And for it's cleansing power the soap
they made then was far better than the
average nickel-a-bar product they are using
now.

The Legislature.

The Georgia legislature will begin It's an
nual session today. With the disturbing
prohibition question out of the way the body
is expected to be more harmonious and to
accomplish a great deal more work than
characterized its session of year ago
Due to the wrangle last summer there is a
large accumulation of measures to be con-
sidered under the head of unfinished busl-
ness The bills of statewide interest are
those creating highway commission, Gre
ating the office of state auditor, providing
for free text books in the schools, establish
ing a state cotton warehouse system, eX-
empting college endowments from taxation,
permitting women to vote, requiring compul-
sorry education, and providing for state
constitutional convention.
An important matter the solons should not
overlook is that of biennial sessions of the
legislature. A constitutional amendment
providing for this change should be submit
ted to the people. They want an opportu-
nifty to register their views on this question,
and are expecting their representatives to
give it to them.
The general assembly, as whole, is com
posed of men of high ideals and aspirations
and of broad and sympathetic nature, and
The News is sure their aim is to be helpful
and just to all the best interests of the peo-
pie of the state.

TO MOVE EXPERIMENT STATION.

The statement by Representative M. ].

troduce bill at the coming session of the
general assembly to move the Georgia Expe-
rimental Station from Griffin to Athens re-
calls an interesting fight that Triton made
for branch experiment station three years
ago.
But what Georgia ought to have is an
agricultural experiment station in the real
agricultural section of the state South Geor-
gia, where experiments can be made in
growing long staple cotton, sugar cane, rice,
sweet potatoes and many crops of a similar
nature which cannot be grown either at
Griffin or Athens

A Gratifying Assurance.

Officials of the state experiment station
according to a news item, say the boil Wee
vii will not injure the cotton crop of this
section the present year. This is very
good news. 1t was expected that the wee
vii would appear in large numbers and do
much damage.
The cotton crop is very promising, more
so than in several years, and with the pros
pect of large yield and high prices great
relief is felt that we will escape the ravages
of the pest at least one more season.
