HERE'S TO THE MAN.

Here's to the man with the grimy
face.
That does not pine for easy place;
But goes right on, though the road
be rough,
And does not shrink when the task
is tough.
Here's to the fellow that has the
grit
To stay on the job when the others
quit;
That is not shackled by place or
pride.
Not ashamed to walk when the
others ride.
Here's to the man with an honest
trade,
That trusts his God, and is not a
fraid;
But feels like a prince as he guides
his plow,
And earns his bread by the sweat
of his brow.
Here's to the fellow that cnops
away,
And saves the chips for the rainy
day;
That asks no more than his justly
due,
And is willing to live and let live,
too.
The jewels he wears, with a prince
ly grace,
Are the drops of sweat on his manly
face;
And I'm always ready to tip my hat,
When meeting or passing a man like
that.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
TELLS HOW PEOPLE MAY BE
HEALTHY, WEALTHY & WISE

Nothing too much" mas the mot
to of the ancient Greeks. They liy-
ed up to it too, for no race has ever
surpassed them in physical deyel-
opment, and everything considered,
perhaps no race has ever sur
passed them in mental attachments.
AS Athletes, as warriors, as scien-
lists, as men of art and letters, they
We're right there with the goods
every time.
Nothing too mucn" is a motto
that should be adopted by all Geor-
gians. If it were, the length of life
of our citizens would be very greatly
extended and the wild joy of liv-
ing would be experienced by all.
The tendency to go to extremes of
various kinds is well marked among
us. Some wear TOO many clothes,
some too few; some eat too much,
others starve themselves either de-
liberately, in an effort to reduce, or
through eating the wrong kinds of
foods.
Too much eXcitment is not good
but on the other hand the simple
life should not be carried to ex-
tremes.
Too mucn sleep and too much
wakefulness are both bad. as are
also to much work and too much
play
In fact, Nothing too much" is an
all round good rule to live by, and
the State Board of Health heartily
commends it to the people of Geor-
gia and advises them to follow it if
they would be healthy, wealthy,
and wise"

FEBRUARY MEETING OF
THE DIXIE CLUB.

The Dixie Club of New YORK, of
which Mrs. James A. Allen, of Ken
tucky, IS President, is one of the
largest organizations of representa-
tive southern women in the metrop-
oils, ana always extends cordial
greeting to the women of the soutn
who may be sojourning in the city.
The February meeting, held as
usual, at Hotel Aston, was largely
attended, and the programme was
one SO distinctly southern, and yet
so versatile, as to have made the
most critical wonder now the chair
man of Entertainment, Mrs. Ernest
E. Malcolm, had made it possible.
Miss Villa Holt Wakefield, of
Georgia, the popular star in vaude-
vile, departed from her custom of
appearing only as professional and
entertained her sisters from the
south with her monologues
Mr.. Robert Stuart Pigott, of Geor-
gia, entertained at the piano with
selections from his own compost
ton and from Ruth McEnnery Stu
art. Miss Belle Kinney, of Tennes-
see, a sculptress who has achieved
fame in New York as well as in her
native state, gave an address en-
titled "The Influence of Southern
Chivalry on Sculpture; and two
southern women charmed by their
music, Miss Marguerite Kirmse on
the harp and Miss Lillian Robert

complimented by Col. w. ]. Lamp

To the Girls of Dixie:
DIXIE IN EXCELSIS

The morning stars, the poets say,
Once sang together, and
The music of the heavenly spheres
Came from that twinkling band.
AS listeners to those wondrous
strains
Bright angels, fairer than
The visions in the fairest dreams
Of any mortal man,
Stood on the walls of Paradise,
In glowing ecstacy,
To hear the music and applaud
The starry symphony.
The poets tell us things like
these,
But never anywhere,
Though telling that they sang has
one
Thus far divulged the air.
1t might have been an OPP. 16,
Or other classic thing,
So difficult they wished it were
Too difficult to sing.
But was it anything like those.
The stars of morning sang?
No! Dixie was the air, and say,
They did it with a bang!!
Away down South-but let that
pass,
You know the ringing tune
Too well for me to quote a note
To you this afternoon.
But who were they upon the walls.
Those angels bright and fair.
Come forth to hear the morning
stars
Sing DiXie's PREMIERE?
You do not know, you cannot guess,
I'm certain, who were these
Assembled on those jasper walls.
But, listen, if you please!
They were the great, great, great,
great, great, great, great, great
grand-mothers of the Dixie girls
From every Dixie state!
And they were fair, exceeding fair.
More fair than any star,
But no so fair as their great-great-
great, great-grand- daughter are,
So there you are, dear Dixie girls,
And l rejoice to say
That just to let you know these
facts
Is why I'm here today.

A SENSIBLE PLAN.

An agricultural expert in Alaba
division fer one-horse farm. If
his suggestions were put into effect
by many of our farmers, they would
realize with just one experiment
how much more successful they
would be. Among the recommended
lions of the Alabama man are:
Grow a garden sufficient to supply
the table with vegetables every day
in the year (This may save you
a doctors bill)
Keep twenty-five laying hens,
provide ample feed of the right kih 1
and sanitary quarters. (This may
save you a grocery billD
Keep two good milk cows, one
giving milk at the time, making it
possible to supply the table with
milk and butter the year round.
(This may save q doctors bill and
a grocery bill)
Keep two good hood sows, bring
ing two filters of pigs each year
(This does away with the lard buck
et.)
Provide ample pasture for the
hogs and cows the year round. This
can be done by planting bermuda
grass, rye, oats, rape, sorghum, mil
LOT fold nj, nd
velvet beans.
Grow half acre each in potatoes,
sugar cane and seeded ribbon cane.
This will furnish the home with po-
tatoes and syrup and some to sell.
Plant four acres in oats in the fall,
of home grown, rust-proof variety.
This crop should be followed by a
legume crop, peanuts, field peas or
soy beans
Plant twelve acres in corn, six
and one-half foot rows, peanuts and
velvet beans between the rows. If
desired, the beans may be planted
in the drill with corn at the time
or planting.
Plant eight acres in peanuts,
three-foot rows drumming peanuts) =,
twelve to sixteen inches in drill.
These are to be harvested for the
market.
We also suggest the planting of
five acres of cotton BY fast Guilt
walton and strict attention to bust
ness, it is estimated that in addition
to actual living expenses, a profit
of five hundred dollars each year
can be made We would like to
see some of our farmers try this
plan. We are confident they would
drop the cotton idea after one year.
