WHEAT

There ire two factors which rem

First, the advent Of the boil wee

To te successful under boil weevi
conditions we will have to cut oul
cotton acreage. There is no better
substitute than small grain and
livestock. The war has caused a
shortage Of food stuffs since most OF
the productive men Of other coun-
tries have been called to defend the
honor and integrity Of their coun-
Try on the field Of battle. Since we
have been thrown into the very
aeart Of the conflict we cannot do
more than our part. We should
not desire to do less. The appeal
comes direct to the farmers Of this
county to raise the much needed
food Tor our homes, our soldiers,
and our allies who are willing to
pay a handsome price for it. IN
less we plant it the supply will soon
be exhausted, for Georgia uses an
nually about 100000 bushels OF
this she raises about 100000
bushels. II we cannot grow it for

LIBERTY BONDS THE MOST
CONSERVATIVE INNE sTMEMr-

Liberty Loan bonds are the safest
investments in the world, and the most
conservative bond buyers in the coun-
try will be the heaviest purchasers Of
every loan hoated," says J. A. McCord,
governor Of the Sixth Federal Reserve
Bank He added, however, that these
specialists would not have the field to
themselves in the present war loan, as
they did to a large extent in the first
issue.
The great majority Of the American
people were at that time unacquainted
with bonds and securities, according to
Mr. McCord, and needed to be educat-
ed That they have received this edu-
cation, he said, was evidenced by the
interest shown by our laboring class
in the Second Liberty Loan,

would be able to complete some i'm
portant work that he had undertaken.
Having had good school education.
a thorough mechanical training, he was
always trying to build machinery bet
ter. in fact, was planning and expert
menting nearly all his spare time.
The modern steam engine was one
OF his pet hobbies and being interest
ed also in gasoline engines, he has often
said the gasoline engine, according to
his IDEAS. was too wasteful, noisy and
complicated, and that he would build
a gasoline motor with the silent sliding
valve that would be simpler in design,
more durable and more economical in
fuel.
After having planned his ideas he
started work, of which there was plen-
ty to do, and he soon found that hav-
ing had all the advantages Of q good
machine shop and foundry, there were
numerous problems that came up, were
worked out and still more to be done,
troubles seemed never ending.
DISCOURAGED AT FIRST.
His argument was that the modern
steam engine and locomotive used the
slide valve and that 1t was much sim
pier and would serve much longer in
the gas engine. OF course, as is very
usual, he was scoffed at, told that he
was wasting his time, that the present
gas engine was good enough. that so
few people would give him any credit
for his trouble even II 1t was of a SUI
perior order. But being a man who
did his own thinking and planning, he
was sure that he was right and went
ahead.
Eventually his trial motor valves
were completed. Then came the actual
test of fire and heat of combustion, the
expansion and contraction of the metal
parts, then the oiling or fabrication Of
this most important part of his mo-
tor, and having satisfied himself that
he had invented and worked out his
idea and that it was valuable, he at
once applied for patents, not only in
the United States, but in every foreign
country of any standing.
Now the motor that had been plan
ned had passed into an iron and steel
reality, and not only would this motor
go, but in going it ran more quietly,
developed more power with less gaso-
line than the best built gas motor that
could be brought into competition with

High School Notes

Groups of students on the street
corners Thanksgiving day seemed to
have but one absorbing topic-foot-
ball. 81 wonder how the team is COM
ing" murmured one freshman. "Never
mind the team" said a senior, they
will come out on top" for he knew
that the team would come out on
top, for they went to Marshtield to
fight, and that's what they did. The
team came in over the North Western
road early Friday morning and was
met at the depot by the Grocery COM
pany's truck, which hauled them up
Main street. Cat calls and other high
school yells made the air resOund.
The boys stopped on Second street
and made a good one by giving the
staccato yell before they disbanded.
The same optimism prevails as re-
CARDS the outcome of the game with
Marinette Saturday.
The debate with Jefferson high
school, which was to have been held
here and at Jefferson by the two de-
batting teams on December Ia has been
postponed until January 10. The post
ponement comes as a surprise for the
two high school teams have been
working hard to be ready for the Wis
itors and will give them a better OPP
portunity to have their material in
shape for the coming debate.
Basketball seems destined to back
seat owing to the post-season activi-
ties on the gridiron. Now that Mari
nette will meet Watertown at Green
Bay, a neutral field, Saturday in what
will be the championship game Of the
season, basketball received a final
punch for after the game Saturday the
football players will need a rest be-
fore they jump into basketball activi-
ties.

SplinterIess Goggles.

Splinterless goggles are new de-
velopment that is expected to be of
great value in military gas masks and
for aviators, as well as for machinists,
welders and other workers requiring
protection for the eyes. The lenses con-
sist of two layers of optical glass sep
arated by q layer of cellufoid, the
whole being perfectly welded together.
The product is claimed to have the adj
vantages of ordinary glass without its
dangerous splintering on being broken,
and the strength of celluloid without
its infiamnability and lack of rigidity.
The heat insulating effect of the cellu-
loid is said also to prevent clouding by
moisture.

JOY FOR TIE MEN AT TEA
Some Good Samaritan Has Invented
Oval Saucer That Safely Holds
Cup and Dainties.

Any man who knows that, sooner Or
later, he must go to another afternoon
tea cannot but rejoice at the recent in
vention of an oval, platterlike saucer
large enough to hold with ease a cup,
a lettuce or other sandwich, and a
dainty trif1e of pastry. The thing was
needed, the modesty of the anonymous
inventor-evidently not Mr.. Edison
reveals him one of the large body of
occasional and unwilling tea-goers.
We, the reluctant and unwilling, are
all strangely alike at these functions !;
and we have all been embarrassed by
the old-fashioned saucer. Circular in
shape, and hardly larger than the cup
that bellies it's reputation and dances
drunkenly whenever another guest
jOggleS our elbow (Which happens so
often that we suspect conspiracy, the
Old-faShiOned saucer affords no reason

spends with instant delight to the law
of gravitation if left to itself and sets
us wishing, those of us who think sci
entifically, that evolution had refrained
from doing away with an extension by
which alone we could now hope to
manage it. We mean a tail If after
noon teas had been started in the Oil
gocene epoch instead of the seven
teenth century, we are convinced that
evolution, far from discarding this use
full appendage, would have perfected
it. A little hand would have evolved
at the end of it, such little hand as
might hold his saucer while a gentle
man sips from his teacup.-Atlantic
