If McRee In Atlanta, can feel such keen
interest in the reelection of Sheats in Flor
ida, what must be his heGrt-thr0b8 for H. L.
BRITTANY. IN Georgia?
If Sheats in Florida has been a more ser
viceable ape of the Yankee Book Trust than
B9jttaim has been IN Georgia, it would be
very serious thing, indeed, for DR.. Kelley to
tackle Sheats
If the Doctor should be so rash as to dis
regard the warning of McRee, the turmoil"
would be scandalonious, and the ''distressr of
Kelly poignant.
My Countrymen Isn't it shame to us
that we sit quietly submissive, while such
Northern corporations as the SchoolbooIz
Trust entrench themselves in our midst and
dictate the election of our highest officials?
When you see how McCree is the power be-
hind Sheats, in Florida, can't you sec who is
the power behind Britain in Georgia?

Two weeks ago, The Jeffersonian called
your attention to the fact that the
knights of Columbus had sneaked a bill
through the Senate, q0ithout an opposing
vote, to confiscate, for the Qualification of the
italian pope, one day IN each gear, namely
October 18th
On that day, all citizens, of whatever per-
suason or vocation, are to be denied the
natural, legal privilege to work, to conduct
their business and to earn for themselves the
legitimate fruits of honest industry.
On that day, every citizen is to shut up
shop, close his store, leave his field, quit the
workbench; drop his axe, hoe, spade, ham
mer, saw and plane; stay away from his of
flee, keep his wagon off the road, and his
dray off the street; bank the fires of his
engine, stop his saw-mill, and his grist mill,
and his ginnery.
For eOhat? To glorify the italian pope!
You must abandon the streets to Rome's spec
tacular parades; establish stage for the ar
rogant display of the papal flag above the
Stars and Stripes; give over the rostrum to
Romanized oratory and it's torrents of plaus-
ible lies, in behalf of the foreign potentate
who has issued his orders shake america

Of course, the American tools of the
the Italian pope are too astute to express their
real purpose
They are too shrewd to ask Congress to
add Columbus Day to the Fourth of July
and to Washington's Day for the qChoze
Union.
These knights of Columbus softly insert
the thin edge Of the wedge, by asking Con-
gress to compel the people of the District Of

THE CENTURY PLANT.

For a mere plant, the century plant
exhibits an unusual amount of good
sense. Nature decreed that its bios
soming process be fast and furious.
So the plant spends a lifetime storing
up reserve strength for the day when
it puts forth it's flowers. Sometimes
it spends fifteen years getting ready
for it's flower season, sometimes long
er. That's why we've named it the
century plant.
Before it is ready to blossom the
century plant is a dense cluster of
rigid, thick leaves, with a thorn on the
tip of each leaf. 1t grows in Mexico
and on the western desert. In Mexico
it is extensively cultivated and is put
to several uses. An extract is made
from the leaves and is used for soap.
When the plant is ready to blossom,
the sap is taken from the stem and
made into drink, which the MeXicans
call pulque After the flower withers
the stem is cut into slices to form raz-
or storps. Finally the leaves produce
fibre, which is made into thread and
ropes.-Philadelphia North American.

BUTTERMAK-

THE MODERN CREAMERY

gestion unheeded because water would
spoil the buttermilk.
Strict Cleanliness Necessary.
Like everything else butter depends
upon the person who makes it. That
butter which was the product of three
COWS, which went through the process
es from straining the milk through
the strainer in front of the strainer
pail and thence through cloth strain
er, which was "set" in milk crooks
in the spring house or the cool milk
room of the cellar, skinned by the
deft twist of a forefnger around the
edge of the crock and finished with a
skinner" that cream that sat in its
crock to ripen to precisely the proper
touch of acidity and was churned in
an earthenware churn with a dasher

hard wood ladle in the old butter

sanitary nut" 1t was clean and san
itary. There wasn't ptomaine in it.
Ptomaines hadn't yet been invented.
There wasn't a speck in it. 1t was
the product of the strict cleanliness
that scalded every vessel, scrubbed
kitchen floors white every day and
furnished healthy children, healthy
food and plenty of it at mealtime. 1t
passed through healthy hands from
start to finish. 1t was good and clean
and pure, and needed neither praise
nor renovation. 1t was butter like
mother used to make.
A few women still make butter, as
a few women still bake beans and
create cornbeef hash and the like, in
stead of buying them in cans and
cooking with a canOpener. Would
that there were more of them. Mar

THEY FORGET THE WORK.

They talk lot about the man who
owns a little farm, his independent
nook in life away from strife and
harm; they say he is a little king and
lord of a domain, and about his only
worry is in regard to rain; they see
his speedy auto and bursting bins of
corn; they say he's the possessor of
Plenty's trimming horn; they praise
his hogs and sturdy steers, his wav-
ing fields of wheat; rave DER his tow
ering silo and barn and residence
neat; they talk about his daily mail,
his books and telephone, his phono-
graph and Disadvantages, we
own. But almost always they forget
the weary, racking toll, that goes
along with all the rest in toying with
the soil; they never think of a. m,
and zero's cold embrace, and balky
mules and sullen steers, met daily
face to face They deal in all the
poetry and see all the romance the
bosky dells and purling brooks where
elves and fairies dance; the hush of
rural eventide, the near-to-nature
stuff-with nature always soft and
kind and never rude and rough Alas
if midst these pleasant things, there
didn't always lurk, such everlasting
mOrn-tO-night, back-breaking, stupid
work!-Profitabl Farming.

teach more than ne knows.

GARBAGE CONTAINS ELEMENTS
NECESSARY AS FERTILIZER

A survey of the Nations resources
in fertilizer materials has drawn at
tention to the large supply Of these to
be found in the accumulation Of gar
bage in cities. This waste material
contains nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash, which are recognized as
essential to the production of large
crops.
Valuable as these elements are to
the farms of the country, the garbage
in which they are found is a source of
trouble and expense to the cities. 1t
seems, therefore, that this garbage
can be disposed of most advantageous
ly by returning it to the soil in the
form of fertilizer.
