Says Uncle Daniel: Seems to me
there's something radically
wrong
With our commercial system, econom'
ic scheme, when there can be
More wealth, and yet more hunger,
too, than simultaneously
When gold pours in by millions, more
than all the strong
Hoard-boxes can contain, when divi-
dends pills up in far excess
OF widest dreams, when profits swell
to gluttonous proportions
when
The rich are rolling in their super
luXury-and, then,
When Poverty trails after wealth with
strain and stress,
When women fight upon the streets
for food, when salaried men
Must pinch and scrape and be abstem-
tious to the point of grim
And pitiable want to make the wage
go 'round-When to the rim
The bins are full of grain. when in the
fields are millioned tons
OF c0al-and fuel is so precious that
the poor must feel the chill,
And bread is not to be secured be-
cause the hungry have not now
The price l say there's some
thing out of joint if very ones
Who need prosperity the most must
bear the burden, foot the bill,
That those who do not need may add
to wealth they know not how
The price e y l say there's some
thing out of joint if very ones
Who need prosperity the most must
bear the burden, foot the bill,
That those who do not need may add
to wealth they know not how
To spend This is problem We
must face and wrestle with until
There is a fair and equitable answer
writ into our economic scheme
Whereby the worker who devotes his
time and thought and sweat to
make
Prosperity shall share in its results,
that he may take
A just proportion of the profits piled
beyond the widest dream.

I'm Marion county some bad places
in the highway are now being repair
ed. This part of the highway, like
most of the roads in Georgia, suffers
much from lack of regular dragging.
The officers of the association will
meet with the commissioners of Ma
rion and citizens of the county on
March 5th. Marion county has con-
structed good road for the Dixi9
Overland.
"Schley county has constructed a
fine road for the Dixie Overland. The
percentage of clay in the original con-
struction was too great, but recently
that trouble has been largely RENE
died. There are, however, two dan
gerous railroad crossings in this coun-
ty, which it is hoped the commission
ers will change.
Macon county has constructed a
good road for the highway, but it has
rather too much clay on the surface,
and it has not been dragged frequently
enough. This last objection applies
also to Schley, Marion and Chattahoo-
chez counties, but all Of them are ar
ranging for more systematic dragging.
Capt. j. T. O'Shield. the six and one
half foot road engineer of Macon coun-
ty, has refused to be outdone by Mus
cogee. Thereby hangs tale. Julian
Lane, the road engineer of Muscogee,
was formerly road builder of Macon
county. And ex-Mayor Yancy Hill, Of
Montezuma, will take his bride-if he
can find one, on bridal tour to Los
Angeles, over the Dixie Overland, and
says, no road on the highway will be
better than the part of it in Macon
This bragg bids fair to come true, for
500. 900 of bonds for new bridges will
be voted oil in Macon within few
weeks.

AMONG THE SWISS
Thrifty Person May Guard Himself
Against Almost Any Form Of Dis
aster to Be Dreaded.

A system of insurance against unem-
ployment prevails in some of the Swiss
cantons, whereby persons contributing
certain sum per month are guaran-
teed employment or paid a weekly in
demnity for the period during which
they are out of work. Such persons
must, however, be able to show that
their unemployment is not their own
fault. This plan of insurance is, how
ever, not general, nor Is it very pOpu-
lar, as 1t involves many details which
make Ii difficult for the beneficiHries
to secure the payment of the bene-
fits.
Employees of Swiss Industrial insti-
tutions are required to insure them
selves against sickness or accident,
and this measure also obviates to a
great extent the necessity for public
charity when wage-earners are de-
prived of their income on account of
illness or accident. Under the COM
pulsory insurance act the expense is
divided between the employer and the
This plan works most salts
as the workers feel more
secure in their employment.
There are also other systems by
which employers and employees can
protect themselves against the expense
of medical treatment and supplies in
case of illness or accident. The So
ciety for the protection of domestic
servants assumes. for instance, the
responsibility for the care and treat
ment Of those enrolled upon its rec
ords.

LARGEST OF AMERICAN CATS
Jsauar Not Only Holds Championship
In Sire, but He Is Also Hand
soonest OF His Class.

The jaguar or eel tigre," as it is gen.
orally known throughout Spanish
America, is the largest and handsom-
est Of American cats. Its size and deep
yellow color, profusely marked with
black spots and rosettes, give 1t close
resemblance to the African leopard. IL
is, however, a heavier and more power
full animal. In parts of the dense trop-
ical forest Of South America coal
jaguars occur, and while representing
merely color phase, they are sup
posed to be much fiercer than the or
binary animal. Although so large and
powerful, the jaguar has none of the
truculent ferocity Of the African Loop
ard. During the years l spent In its
country, mainly In the open, l made
careful Inquiry without hearing OF
single case where one had attacked
human beings.
In one locality on the Pacific coast
of Guerrero found that the harder
natives had an interesting method OF
hunting the "tigre" during the mating
period. At such times the male has
the habit Of leaving its lair near the
head of a small canyon in the foot
hills early In the evening and follow
ing down the canyon for some distance.
at intervals uttering a subdued roar.
On moonlight nights at this time the
hunter places an expert native with
short wooden trumpet near the mouth
of the canyon TO initiate the "tigre's'
call as soon as 1t is heard and to re-
peat the cry at proper intervals. After
placing the caller, the hunter ascends
the canyon several hundred yards, and,
gun in hand, awaits the approach of
the animal. The natives have many
amusing tales of the sudden exit Of
untried hunters when the approaching
animal Unexpectedly uttered its roar
ut close quarters.-E. w. Nelson, In
the National Geographical Magazine.
