THE BOYS GO READING on

Whether in camp, at home or in
college, the boys go reading on. In
these words the purpose of the book
campaign for soldiers might properly
express itself.
In all the armies of our great re-
public, and especially in the National
Army now in training. there are to
be found thousands of young men
who were just on the verge of entering
college, men who have attended for a
year or two, or men who have already
graduated. They are loath to give up
their literary work now. They are
ambitious to continue improving their
minds as well as their bodies. Those
who are providing books for these
men are doing a noble work. In all
the cantonments modern conveniences
of every kind prevail and arrange
ments have also been made for an ex-
tensive library.
1t is for us at home who enjoy the
privileges of splendid library at our
finger tips to give generously and
gladly that books may be obtained for
the soldiers encamped throughout the
country that the boys may go read

CAMOUFLAGE

Camouflage is a war word. 1t is
not, as yet, in the English dictionary,
but when the "Sammies" come back
from France it and other foreign
words will find their place among
legitimate words.
The word was first used to express
the idea of artful disguise with which
the Allied armies gave false impress
sions to the Germans. 1t meant the
covering of the heavy artillery guns
with branches of trees to hide them
from the spying aviators. 1t meant
the building of walls to hide the
movement of troops. 1t meant the
painting of scenery to draw the enc
my's fire to certain points.
Now it is beginning to take on a
broader meaning. Anything which
purposely conveys the wrong idea is
summed up in the word "camoufiage."
The imaginative Sammy" who con-
cocts a wild tale for his comrades is
called a camofieur and his talk is
camouf1age.
Why limit the word to the Sam
mics? 1t can be well applied at
home. The boy at school who reads
of the intrepid deeds of Diamond Dick
behind his large geography is prac
ticing camoufiage on his teacher The
landlady who gives dessert twice a
day the first week of school and then
feeds the boarders on hominy the rest
of the year practices camoufiage.
The young woman who puts on
several coats of enamel before expos
ing herself to the gaze of the unsus-
pecting world is practicing camou
fiage, but in her case it might be thar |
she is the camofleur and the camou-
fleured.
The "Sammies" may have accepted |
the word, but they took over with |
them a word which applies to several |
of the phases of camoufiage. That is
taking, or fourfushing. Perhaps they |
have exchanged this word with the
French.

The Home Garden
T. n. Mediation, Prof. of Horticulture,
State College of Agriculture.

Never before in the history of this
country has the home garden been
of more vital Importance to the wei
fare of the nation than at this par
ticular time. This is not the lime
to pillow up the home garden and plant
it in cotton. The farmers with the
large home garden should be able to
produce sufficient supplies for the
family for the whole year.
Where the garden is large, enough
Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes
should be made for the winter use.
The ever-present Georgia collard
should be on hand in great abundance
this year; cabbages should be prom
inent fall crop; turnips also should
be in the fall garden. If one has not
planted carrots in the spring, carrots
should be planted in the late summer
or early fall for winter use. In most
sections of Georgia satisfy or oyster
plant planted now or later in the sum
mer will remain in the ground and
can be used all along. The abund-
ance of tomatoes and string beans,
and other vegetables that demand
warm weather for their maturity
should be put into cans There is not
woman in Georgia who should not
try to put up and can all of the vegeta-
bles of various kinds that she expects
10 use on her table during the fall,
winter and early spring months. Any
woman who overlooks this at this
time cannot be considered patriot
; Canned goods of all kinds are going to
be extremely high this year. even if
the war is over. It is a mans place
about the home to see that enough
stuff is raised so that the good woman
will have it to can. The home garden
is going 20 be the most valuable small
piece of ground on the farm, and any
one who neglects it this season is cap
able of selling his birthright for a

winter, it will not be possible for us
to- call on Maine and the other pota-

They will have to be produced at
home. The North Georgia farmer can
make a, good fall Irish potato crop;
and If thefsrTaers1 of this section Will
give this matter due consideration.
we should be able to produce in our
mountain sections enough potatoes
to carry Georgia through until the
spring crop comes in from the south

country what the mountain soils of

AMERICAS HIGH DUTY.

States Senator from Mississippi
The United States has entered upon
the great world conflict, which is to de-
side whether Democracy shall have a.
safe place in the sun on the earth, or
not. There is hardly any duty higher
than that which ought to actuate each
citizen to he plufrnish a. part of the
money which will be necessary for that
purpose.
1t is true that a man NAL be able
to lend his money out at 6, or Z, Or
8, and in some places even 10 per cent.
but he might well forego for the space
of two or three years the higher rate
OF interest while he invested in 3 IL
per cent bonds of the United States.
His principal would be safe. The
bonds are exempt from taxation, ex
cept the inheritance tax, and ex-
changeable for later bonds of highe
rate of interest if the United States
later during this var issues such, AMI
are specifically freed from any war tax
than may be levied.
Our men cannot get to France or
Belgium in any considerable numbers
for a year. The governments money
received from the subscriptions to
bonds may get there by wire, the credit
based upon it may. which is the same
thing, and, after getting there takes the
form of clothing and food, munitions,
rifles and cannon, and may help our
allies to win, Next to the immediate
duty of chasing submarines and sink
liLg them wherever they can be found,
thereby re-opening the ovenues over
seas for the worlds commerce, there
is nothing that can do so much good
a5 lending the government your money
And even in that respect the man who
subscribes to bond, putting what
ready money he can into it, has the sat
isfaction of knowing that his money
has helped build destroyer. or buy an
armed yacht, which in its turn has de-
stroyed a submarine.
The American people are not d
money-loving people in the sense that
a miser is. Their money getting takes
more the form of game, which Is
enjoyed because of its skill and the
clesh of wits and their love of the pos
session of money is based more upon
the uses to which the money can be
put in eleyating themselves and their
ichiidren and their neighbors and inc
community in which they live than
upon the money itself, or the reputation
OF having it
We are the wealthiest people in the
the world; this wealth ought now to
serve the country. 1t will be a
shameful thing that those who are to
not fit for military service should al
low those who are fit to go to the
front and be MANNED and mangled, and
perhaps killed, while they stay at
home and refuse to do even SO much
as loosen their purse strings.

MAKE IT EQUITABLE.

There are eleven District Agricultu,
raj & Mechanical Schools in Georgia
Established by the state and supported
Inv funds from the treasury of the COM
monwealth. These institutions, al
Imost all of which have succeeded in
accomplishing substantial results in
the way of preparing the sons and
daughters of Georgians, as well as the
children of citizens of other states, for
the practical side of life, are at each
session of the state legislature the
subject of much discussion.
Appropriations for the maintenance
of the A. & NJ. schools are made prac-
tically without regard to the condi-
lions prevailing in individual institu-
lions. 1t is taken for granted that all
oisthem are about on an average, as
far as standards of training. attend
arce, ETC., are concerned.
AS a matter of fact however, these
leven schools differ materially in many
ways, so that in many instances, the
appropriations are inadequate to meet
the demands of the situation, while in
other cases, the maintenance fund is
altogether too ample.
In two or three schools the enroll
ment is far below the figure which
means efficient operation of the insti
tuition, while in others it is impossible
to provide accommodations for the
number of students who desire to re-
ceive instruction.
A plan is being formulated whereby
each school would receive annually Il
certain stipulated sum-$S,000 for ex
amnle-and for every enrolled stu
dent above a certain number the
maintenance appropriation would be
proportionately increased. Under this
plan the schools with the high stand
ard of training attracting large num-
bers Of students and consequently ac-
complishing greater results than those
institutions of inferior standing, would
receive greater . financial assistance
from the state.
The details of the plan provide for
various. contingencies and it is probable
that the coming session of the legisla-
ture will witness the introduction of q
bill drafted along these lines.
Assuredly, this method would be
much more equitable than the one in
Operation at present.
