San Francisco, Feb. 21-The call of
back to the soil" has lured from track
and field athletics one Of its most pic
turesque and successful figures
George HORNE of the Olympic club,
San Francisco-who retires holding
the national running high jump cham
pionship, and with memories Of hav-
ing achieved two of the greatest YER
teal leaps ever accomplished by a hui
man being.
HORNE does not quit the sport on
which he reflected so much credit as
an undefeated champion, but before
he decided to devote all his time to
the three things dearest to his heart
his wife, his baby daughter, and his
farm at Winston, Cal.-he had woven
a web Of success in his specially that
few athletes ever attain
In the long annals of track and field
athletics perhaps no more interesting
character can be found than this farm
er lad from San Diego. who, when a
junior at Leland Stanford university
in 1912 broke the running high jump
record which had stood as a world
mark since 1895. when 1t was estab-
lished by Michael F. Sweeney of New
York. A short time later HORNE added
another fraction of an inch to his rec
ord.
Then, after dropping virtually into
obscurity following his defeat at the
Olympic games. HORNE came back last
year and. In the national champion
ships at the Panama-Pacific exposition,
regained much OF his faded prestige
by defeating a field which comprised
nearly all the best jumpers in the
United States. He also upset the old
tradition of sport that they never
come back"
1t was on March %, 1912. on the
athletic field of Leland Stanford Uni
versity, HORNE wrote his name in in
delible letters in track and field his

GET SOME LAYING HENS
AND EAT MORE RICE
AND CORN PRODUCTS
That's the Way to Reduce Cost of
Living, Speaker Clark Tells Con.
sumers. Don't Wait for Govern
mert Remedies.

Washington, November rs If
the high cost of living botbers you,
don't wait for governmental RENE
dies, but buy some laying hens and
eat more corn products and rice,
says Speaker Clark, Not that he
does net think the government can
not help bring down the price of
foodstuffs, by legislative or other
action, but he pins greater faith in
more direct methods.
Thus the speaker expressed him.
self today on the high cost of Iiv-
ing problem, which he regards as
one of the greatest facing the ma
ton. He referred to Representa-
tive Fitzgeralds embargo bill.
There may or may not be a
chance for Mr.. Fitzgerads proposed
BILL" he said. 1T might do some
good; | don't know. / think the
government can help lower food
prices by legislative or other action,
but l do know that there are ways
by which the consumer can cut
down his expenses.
For instance, everyone who can
should keep some hens. And any
man who has twenty square feet of
ground can keep them.
People should eat more corn
products, too. Much is highly nu-
tritious and it isn't eaten enough.
Rice is too generally overlooked
in this country. was surpriss ed
to hear the other day that five cents
worth of rice will serve as a substi-
tute for bread for an entire day in a
family of six people"
The speaker declared that he will
urge passage this year of federal
law prohibiting the killing of veal
calves. Such a measure failed at
the last session. He also expressed
the view that the egg spectators
violate the law in holding eggs for
raise in price and that people were
foolish" to permit their butter
prices to be regulated from one
point in this country.

OUT OF THE CHURCHES.

The State Department of Educa-
tion's ruling that all county school
systems that have arrangements
with religious bodies whereby bull
used for common school purposes
must divorce themselves from such
connection or forego State appro-
priations in the future is the only
one that can be made under the cir
cumstances, under law as it now
stands in Georgia. Therefore Mr.
Britain did well to write the au-
thorities throughout the State as
he did
In way though it is a reaction
airy step. Georgia is a state that
needs twice the schoolhouses it now
has, especially in the country dis
tricts. We find the religious de-
nominations using the fine brick
edifice or solidly built frame struc-
ture for its religious exercises

children to learn the fundamentals

in. The contrast reveals a situa-
ticn that is all wrong.
The Telegraph has an adherence,
equal to that professe1 by Watson,
for any union of church and state.
but it does seem a great pity that
that there could not be worked out
some way to use the finely equipped
and finely built church structures,
especially in sections where schools
are faulty, for purposes of general
education to the community as well
as for purely religious instruction
and inspiration. Where demon
nation is willing to place its physi-
cal equipment even in limited way
at the disposal of the cause of gen
eral education there should be some
machinery existing whereby that
proffer might be taken advantage
Of 1t should should by no means
be necessary to allow in exchange
for the help religious instruction
to be given in that specific plant.
While We can scarcely see where
the practically enforced action OF
the State Department has obstruct.
