WHAT ABOUT MExICo.p

II looks like the war in Mexico is a
continual puzzle In truth we. have oeen
in hostile array against Mexico for more
than two years. l sat in the senate gal
lery, Washington City, May, 1914, and
heard a senator announce the fall OF
Vera Cruz" During the day we read in
the newspapers that eighteen sailor boys
of the United States navy had been shot
and killed by Mexicans i'll the attack on
Vera Cruz. Ever since that time, we
have been in a state of warfare, first
with Huerta next with Villa, and later
with Carranza. 1t cost this nation SIX
million dollars to capture Vera Cruz,
and send battle ships to Mexico. We
also appropriated another, six millions
to capture Villa, and congress Is voting
hundreds of millions of dollars to pu-
this country in shape to go to war In
brisk order-with the world.
1t would make us wonder how long we
can stand the storm"-if we could know
right now, what it costs in dollars and
cents to thereafter Mexico-day by day.
But 1 for one am willing to bear all
sorts of money worries, rather than go
to shooting down Mexicans or contrari
wise, see our Americans shot down by
Mexicans. And l for one, am convinced
that we should have kept out of Mexico
at the start, unless we had made up our
minds to control Mexico as we have lib
Grated Cuba and controlled the Philip
pines.
Time will prove, in every case, that
nation that goes to war, must have aw-
full grievances, or they should settle dis
putes by statesmanlike compromise
Germany will always be held as as-
gressor, and without sufficient grievance
when Germany destroyed Belgium root
and branch, merely to get room to at
tack France and England. In all the
histories and all the ages Germany will
be explaining and trying to defend its
destruction of Belgium And the United
States will also be explaining our hail.

WHEN TO CUT AND SHOCK CORN.

WHEN TO CUT AND SHOCK CORN
r. L. c., oxford, Ca, writes: tlease aH
vise me at what stage or growth corn Is
cut and how shocked, also whether the ears
are pulled before the stalk is cut: hane
cowpeas high protein content DC
Canada peas? Which is best TO SOW III cot-
ton crimson or bur cloYerf The lana Is
rather poor. Can a stand be secured IN
such soil by incubation?
Presumably you desire to save Ine
corn fodder, leaves and all and preserve
the grain at the same time. In that
event the corn should not be cut until
the ears have passed out of the glazed
condition; in other words, are practically
ripe and the grains firm and hard. IL
rs important, of course, that the cutting
be done as early as practicable so as 10
prevent the drying up of the leaves IN
the stack and their loss on this account.
Corn is best cut with corn harvester
and may then be stacked in large SHOCKS
in the field. The shocks should be OF
a good size and should be carefully built
SO a. to stand perfectly upright. Three
ties should be made. In order to draw
the corn together tightly rope with a
ring inc one end can be used to good ad-
vantage. If gathered with the idea Of
saving the fodder to be shredded later
on the ears should not be pulled of the
stalk.
Cowpeas contain about 1914 per cent of
digestible protein and Canada field peas
about 10 per cent. There is very little
TO choose, therefore, between them IL
this rspect.
Crimson or bur clover may be seeded
in cotton. In case we were attempting
to establish bur clover We would SOW II
before the last cultivation. Obtain the
clover in the bur and seed rather freely.
II should not be necessary to inoculate
bur clover. You can insure it's more
rapid termination by giving 1t what is
known as the hot water treatment. No
doubt YOU are already familiar with this
oneration. You should be careful TO
reinoculate after the hot water treat
ment. We have not found 1t necessary,
as a rule. to inoculate crimson clover,
though if seeding 1t on thin land for the
first time, we believe it would pay 20
inoculate Crimson clover could be
broadcasted over the cotton land or sown
in between the drills. 1t should be COW
cred lightly. A weeder or some light
surface working implement would be ex-
cellent for this purpose.

A NEW Law IN REGARD TO MAR
RIAGES.
n III -. ZLne1y1oP5eJ
~ 1 ssfss pSEsS6fsjf5


RIAGES.
A bill pending at this writing in the
present session of the Georgia legis-
lature will likely pass, because it is
charged that our lax laws are in great
measure responsible for many divorces
and unhappy marriages. 1t is much
needed legislation.
. For years and years L have been urg-
ing reforms of this sort. Ten years
ago l published some things in The
Semi-Weekly Journal on this subject, in
which / said fourteen-year-old girl
is only a nearly grown child Her
mind is immature; also her body. she
has not the physical essentials for the
burdens of motherhood 1t is the gosling
period of her life, when she is green
and untitled for the strain that is i'm
posed upon wifehood or motherhood
| am reminded, however, that four
teen years was not uncommon in my
girlhood as a marrying age. 1 remem-
Der we'll a girl who married at fifteen,
became the mother of three children
and died when she was a little over
twenty. To state such case is ample
explanation of the subject herein dis
cussed.
/ know beautiful woman who mar
rleQ q WluOWeT WneH size was N"CAfC
years old, the man more than three
times older than the bride, and the
girls mother favored it because the
man was rich and lived in style.
1t was cruel to rob such girls of their
free happy girlish days when life was
full of unclouded happiness and to
fling upon them the heavy cares of ma
ternity, when minds and bodies were
manifestly not fitted for such burdens.
The new bill is a move in the right
direction. 1t requires an age limit and
publicity before a couple can be mar
ried by anybody.
Perjury as to age will be fifty pun
ished and it is to be hoped that suit
able restrictions will be placed about
marriage licenses and suitable punish
ments inflicted on violaters of the law.

ELIMINATING WASHES WITH
KI-nZIT


e NJ s. Rome Ca, writes: We have
large kudzu vine running on renee
We have a hillside on our farm that is
badly washed. and have thought if we could
get this kudzu started there II would collect
i'm the washes and in the course Of time
stop them and build up the land. DO yon
think this is practicable? Do on think
we could get cuttings started from the
vine already have?
We have planted the kudZu vine on a
hillside similar to the one you describe.
The vines were planted in hills five feet
apart in each direction. Only about for
~ per cent of the vines terminates. The
planting was done early in the spring
when the roots were still dormant. This
vine roots at the joints somewhat like
Bermuda grass, and in the course Of
time will spread over and cover up the
washes on the hillside in question quite
effectively No doubt it will build up the
land to a considerable extent at the
same time. II may take longer to ac-
complish the purpose you have in view
than you may think at the outset, but
our experience indicates that these vines
will spread and will eventually make a
good soil cover. We have not tested
their grazing value as yet, but when we
can establish a good stand of them will
try them out for this purpose. We think
you will find il an advantage to put out
roots of this plant whenever practicable
to do So We are inclined to think l.
may be set out any time after the vines
are defoliated and the wood rs well rip
ened and hardened. We have not tried
to established il as yet from cutting
and have not heard of this practice being
followed with success.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash 4
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified coeoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease.
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for. sharnpooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifcd cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
