SWAT THE FERTILIZER

That old perennial faker, the agent
for formula that will enable any
farmer to make at small cost fertil-
izer better than the commercial kind"
is again abroad in the land In GER

Grating who, we are informed, is sell
ing for SIS formula" that calls for
the following: two tons of sawdust,
four tons of manure, six hundred
pounds of lime hosphate," and two
hundred pounds of salt.
OF course, this mixture has some
plant food value, largely because of
the stable manure and the phosphorus
it contains; but the sawdust and salt
for all practical purposes, may be con-
sidersd worthless for fertilizer purpo-
ses. Moreover, in this mixture used
or inthere is nothing, either in the ma
terials used or in the manner of mix
ing, that any farmer cannot obtain
without paying for a fake formula.
We believe that practically every
reader OF this paper is sufficiently well
informed not to bit at this PROPOSE
ton, but our duty does not end with
merely letting this thing alone our

farmers who will pay the IS dollars
demanded, and it is our and your bus

Peculiar Accident
Wire in Syrup Can

Atlanta, Ga. December 3d.
The Georgia man who is suing
because he cut his tongue off on
a pane OF window glass hidden
in a plug of chewing tobacco,
can sympathize with Lula Rench-
er OF Arlington. who was break
fasting on a delicious plateful of
hot corn-c cakes, literally covered
with corn syrup, when a piece of
copper wire which had been
poured out of the syrup can
punctured her tongue and pierced
it through and through.
She tried to scream and then
thrust her tongue out of her
mouth and those sitting with her
at the table saw that the wire
had gore all the way through.
She will not be able to talk for
several weeks, but when she is
able she is going to have some
thing to say about the man she
bought the syrup from.

effects upon the farming inter-
ests, the purpose and intent
of this law. The evening was

The marvellous progress made in
this garden spot of the world in
the few years since it's real dis
covery by the late Gov, Northern

Nights. No country on earth
can show so great a develope-

THE best way can illustrate my
articles of advice for young
girls is by taking individual
types which have attracted my atten-
tion. Without betraying their names,
shall write of them as imaginary
characters to you, so by their short
comings or by their successes you
can get some idea of what is demand
ed of moving picture actress.
Today l am going to introduce you
to Miss Flashy Girl, whom 1 shall
call Airline.
Airline had a very comfortable
home, with doting mother and faith
er who yielded to her every whim,
eager to make their only child happy.
She was pretty, but not of the type
of prettiness which lasts; she had
tampered too much with nature. By
that l mean she had touched up her
hair, and although she was but nine
teen, she rouged her cheeks and red
dened her lips to an unnatural scar
let.
A friend of hers, a very clever,
hard-working girl, brought her to the
studio and introduced her to one of
the directors, who thought her type
he could use to advantage. She photo
grapher very we'll and was given all
the extra work she could do for the
next few weeks.
She seemed to enjoy the work i'm
mensely, but after she had been in the
studio awhile we noticed a radical
change in her. She talked very loud
and made herself conspicuous by her
extreme dressing. Instead of saving
her money so she could buy a ward
robe and be prepared for any emer-
gency, she dressed more extravagant-
ly than the stars. Always was she
seeking personal attention, and after
a while the work began to pail upon
her. 1t did not offer enough excite
ment; she even decided to create it.
A Disturbing Element.
She encouraged lot of the girls to
gather in her dressing room and start
little card games instead of tending
strictly to her work. She came late
in the mornings and would resent be-
ing told to return in the evenings.
Then she was always seen in the COM
pany OF the actors around the studio,
laughing boisterously and encourag-
ing their little attentions, which
pleased and flattered her.
The directors disliked her because
her mind was never on her work, al
though they all agreed she photo
grsphed beautifully and had rare pow
ers of expression. Perhaps Airline
never realized il, but they had proph-
esied brilliant future for her if She
could bring herself to a radical
change OF her errant ways.
They gave her chance after chance,
and instead of grasping her oppor-
