RACE
 FOR G0VERNORSHIP
 STARTS IN GEORGIA
Democratic Nomination Today Equivalent to Elec-
 ton.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 12-Interest in Georgia's Democratic primary held to- day to nominate state officials and congressman, centered largely in the four-cornered race for governor In which Nat E. Harris of Macon, the only Confederate veteran now holding the office of governor of a state is opposed for renomination by Hugh M. Dorsey of Atlanta. Dr. l.. G. Harde- man of Commerce, and Joseph E. Pot tie of Milledgeville. Democratic nom- ination Is considered equivalent to election. The campaign for the gov ernorship has been made largely on local issues, and each of the candi- dates has virtually covered the state on speaking tours.
 |~Eleven of Georgia's twelve con- gressmen, all Democrats, are seeking renomination, the only exception be- ing c. G. Edwards of the First dis trict Seven of the eleven who would return to Washington have opposition while Congressman Edwards place is sought by Peter w. Meldrim of Sa- vannah, former president of the Am erican Bar Association, and J. w. Overstreet of Sylvania.
 Neither United States senatorship expires this year, but all state of flee terms do, and nearly half of the candidates for the principal positions are opposed. In races in which three or more candidates are entered, should no one of them get a majority, the nomination will be made at Macon by the Democratic State convention which meets Sept. 26 to canvass pri- mary returns.

STRIKEBREAKER SHOWS
 ENORMOUS APPETITE

New York, Sept. i2-The mon strous appetite of one strikebreaker quartered in the New York Railways Co. barns at Seventh avenue and Eff tieth street served as the basis of President .Shont's denial to the charges made before the Public Ser vice Commission that the men brought from outside cities are being under fed.
 Why, single-handedly, that man ate 13 fried eggs, Il slices of ham and six dishes of ice cream," said MT. Shonts last night. Then he had the nerve to ask if we had any other kind of dessert. After eating the ice cream he complained he didn't like il but would have to have something more >>su bstantial.''

DISCOVER HUMAN BONES

During my excavation of dirt last week at Seaside Park I discovered what ] supposed to be bones of some specy or animals not belonging to the human race Upon prosecuting my research little farther, I discovered to my astonishment the skull of a hu- man being. Farther on the thigh, collar rib, jaw, leg and other bones. The smaller bones Cuch as those of the hand and feet could not be found, probably have long since passed away owing to the great length of time which has elapsed since their burial. The skull bears unmistakable evidence of having belonged to some Indian tribe living long anterior to the Amer ican revolution. The cheek-bones like those of the Indian are extremely prominent.

What's the trouble?" is the query be-

Do not discard such an excellent

animals do not like it at first, as they
are likely not to- They can soon be
made TO like it, even better than other
pastures.
Simply allow the animals nothing but
sweet clover for a few days. If the
sweet clover patch is not separate from
other pasture, stake the animals in 1t.
After a few days turn them out where
they will have access to other pasture
as well as the clover. Nine times in
ten they will then eat sweet clover in
preference to any other pasture.
Sweet clover is proving 10 be one Of
the best pasture plants, especially for

NEED ONE COLLAR PER HORSE.
Habit Of Letting Bill Wear Dobbin's
Neck Piece Unsafe Practice.

Letting Old Bill wear Dobbin's COL
lar when Dobbin isn't working may
save the price of an. extra collar, but
it's mighty likely to put both horses
on the sore shoulder list when work
is most rushing, says the animal hus-
bandry department at Iowa State Col
lege 5si5@ sa
It's poor economy to use one collar
on several horses. This is a common
practic among farmers and the cause
Of more shoulder trouble than any
other one thing.
In buying a collar. be sure to get
one that fits the horse. Poorly fitted
collars result in sore shoulders,
vicousness and balkiness. properly
fitted collar Should rest snugly, when
drawn against the shoulder, \on all
places of bearing surface, but should
ctamp at no point. 1t should be long
enough when buckled to allow the
open hand to be slipped between it
and the Windpipe.
1t is necessary to properly adjust
new collar. To do this. place it in
about three inches of water and let it
remain ove2 night to take out the fac
tory stiffness. BY working it thorough
ly it will become soft and adjust itself
to every inequality Of the shoulder

g. Some excellent ideas came from the
women, mostly farm wives. All en-
phasized a small kitchen to save steps.
1t should not be passageway, lava
tory or a living ROOM" said one ex-
perienccd hired girl. A work table
placed squarely in the center of the
kitchen. equipped with stove and draw =
ers, was the step saving plan suggested
by one woman. Several suggested an
alcove next to the kitchen for a can
nirg and vegetable room.
A wash room where the men could
enter directly from the field was the
feature suggested by practically every
farm wife. One woman equipped hers
with shower The dining room
should be large enough to accommo-
date extra hired help. A box seat
along the sides. in front of which
could be placed extra tables, vas sug
gestcd. The living room was designated
as place to send men folks until din
ner was ready, to receive company and
to hold funerals.

WHY NOT OATS FOR HAY?
Cut Early, Solves Problem Of Dispos'
ing Of Late Maturing Crop.

Early harvesting of oats for hay is
the unusual practice suggested by the
farm crops department at Iowa State
College as solving the problem of dis
posing of this crop.
AS nurse crop for clover or other
legumes, the great objection is its late
maturity, If oats are cut for nay "hen
the grain is in the milk stage ana
properly cured, the hay secured IS
regarded by many as nearly equal TO
red clover. ...
Remove the oats two or three weeks
ca rlier than usual. thus exposing the
Young clover plants at time When
the heat Of the sun is less severe. This
practice also leaves more moisture IN
the soil to be used in producing
strong growth of clover.
