auto club 10 cooperate with the Board
OF Trade, the two organizations work
ing Jointly in this matter.
The commissioners of this great au-
tomobile highway, as has been previ-

erS will come down to Macon and
make the trip from that city to Jack
sonville over the route via Fitzgerald
and Waycross. and returning they will
travel the allcoast route, via Bruins
wick and Savannah.
While the commissioners, as far as
is known, will be in this city for only
short time, still it is being planned
to give them royal welcome here,

Trade and the automobile association
will be nGmed within the next few
days to take charge of the program.
While no expression has ever come
from any of the commissioners as to
which route they favor, it is general

been conc usively demonstrated that
this is the most popular route, offering
not only the best roads Of tn@ two. but

esque and historical route. Brunswick

HOUSE ARGUES
OVER ITS VOTE
ON RESOLUTION
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO
GET A VOTE AS EARLY AS
POSSIBLE, AS URGED BY
THE PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, March President
Wilson conferred today with adminis-
tration leaders in congress on the
question of armed merchantmen. He
urged prompt action on one of the va
rious pending resolutions proposing to
warn Americans off armed merchant
ships of the European belligerents.
After the president. Senators Kern
and Stone and Representative Flood
had been in conference for an hour
Speaker Clark and Majority Leader
Kitchin of the house were summoned
to join the conference.
The presidents determination thus
to throw down the gauntlet to con-
gress was made known in Il letter to
Representative Pou, acting chairman
of the house rules committee, asking
that the matter be brought to a vote
in the house. lie intends to ask for
similar action in the senate. The pres
ident's action was taken in order that
"all doubts and conjecutres may be
swept away and our foreign relations
once more cleared of damaging mis-
understandings
In his communication the president
called attention to the fact that the
report that congress was divided over
the question of the governments
foreign policies were being made Gin
dustrious use of in foreign capitals
The conference agreed that in defer
ence to the wishes of President Wilson,
a vote would be taken in the near flu
ture in both senate and house on res
olutions warning Americans to keep
off the armed ships, but the form in
which the resolutions will be presented
win be determined later.
The president told the leaders the
foreign situation was no more serious
today than it has been for several
weeks, but he believed action should
be taken quickly to show the world
that American government was not di-
yided
Some of the conferees thought the
best procedure was for the senate and
house to adopt the resolution support
ing the presidents position, but Mr.
Wilson vetoed the plan and expressed
a desire to have the vote on reso-
luton warning Americans off armed
ships because he was confident that
it would be defeated

SYNOPSIS

Joe Weston, fourteen years old, decides
20 mako success OF his fathers run
down farm. He reads the latest scientific
books. Mr. Someryille, n merchant, agrees
to help him.
Joe's father is pessimistlc. He sneers
at book farming and book farmers Mr.
Somerville. struck with Joe's business
ability and ambition, backs him In prize
competitions.
Passersby on the road lingor 70 watch
Joe operate. Tho sneers that wero in
evidence at first soon give way to looks
OF surprise. Joe is showing them some
thing as n farmer.
You'll do" said the merchant, shak-
ing hands with him as the wagon roll
ed up to receive the oats and rye.
"Goodby, and you just go ahead and
use your judgment"
The fence was built next day, with
a substantial lock upon the gate and
Joe carried the key I'm his pocket.
With the assistance OF Link he SOW
ed the rye thickly on three acres and
oats on the other. He hired his fathers
team and harrow, agreeing 20 pay a
dollar for the use OF It, and narrowed
the grain thoroughly into the finely
pulverized soil.
The many spikes or teeth of the har-
row had by this time demolished every
clod, and the surface OF the field wa.
level and smooth, with a slight slope to
the south, which insured drainage.
Passers by on the country road began
to stop and watch his operations. Most
or the farmers grinned indulgently and
predicted that nothing would come OF
all that foolishness." a few Of them
went to thinking. and without saying
anything about it went home and gath
cred up leaves and trash and barnyard
fertilizer and plowed an acre or so
deeply, Just as n matter of curiosity. TO
see what would happen. 4 few others
sowed oats or rye just as Joe did.
The rye came up-a splendid, thick
stand Of It. In a few weeks II had
spread, forming a solid mat OF luscious
green. Hungry hogs prowled squeal-
ingly around the hogproof fence; hun
cry cows looked and longed and lowed
disconsolately, for It was near Christ
mas time, and there was no green pas
ture available for the poor creatures
and dead grass is not very satisfying.
Jim Sullivan stopped his team In the
road one day and gazed admiringly IN
the field.
Got a fine stand thar, Joe! he
called.
Pretty good-yes, sir"
"Whatn you charge me 10 let me
Craze these here horses in that patch
awhile? They're powerful puny. Inev.
er made no feed to speak OF last fan
an IL don't strengthen 'em up some
I'm afeard they won't pull through the
winter"
Joe gazed at the scrawny. weak ami
mails and felt sorry for them. He re.
called the "a Jim had paid for the

everything to own something. don't it?''
Indeed e does, joe
Joe then started to hoe a field OF DO
tatoes. Then he returned 90 his pigs.

structed for them and snuggled among
the dry leaves with many contented

mot nOw-just n few scraps from
the house and maybe a nubbin OF corn
a day for variety. This rye is about all
they need"
"Why. that won't fatten them" said
Mrs. Weston.
Nom, but that government bulletin
says It's waste OF feed TO try TO fat

they are to be kept until they are n
year old. All we want TO do Is 90 give
them enough 10 keep them healthy and
growing fast. and that green feed will

Annie. as If she had discovered some

They do that to kin the flies and In.

I'm summer. Mud isn't filthy. Give n
hog a good range for pasture and clean
water to drink and he Is clean as a
cow"
Annie was not convinced.
"They eats nasty Stops" she an.
nounced crushingly.
IF the Stops are nasty it's the fault
Of the people that give them to the
hogs. Pigs naturally Craze like COWS
and horses and would rather eat nice
green grass or grain than Stops any
time" said joe
