Our government is making great
for war. All the war
departments are busy and men are
being called into service for both
the army and the navy, 1t looks
very much like we are facing a
serious proposition and just what
the end will be no one can tell.
The president last Saturday night
signed an executive order directing
that the authorized enlisted
strength of the navy be increased
to $1,000. New ships and ships
in reserve are being fully com
missioned as rapidly as possible.
When congress meets, April 2, it
is believed that vigorous action
will be authorized and that this
country will soon see our country IN
active conflict with the German
forces. The fighting will be done
mostly on the sea, but, it will be
none the less serious warfare.

SOWING SEED

Sowing, always sowing. Not
the seed in your gardens and fields;
not the material germs that shall
bear blossom or fruit after its kind,
but sowing the seed of words and
deeds that shall yield the harvest
for the threshers Of immortality,
Sowing in the morning with the
dew on the hillsides: sowing at
noon under the scortch of the sun
light; sowing in the evening with
shadows growing purple on the
edges; sowing under the cold,
white stars with the wings Of dark
ness brooding low sowing a word
of kindness, a deed of love to blow
white like the lilies; or sowing an
evil act or a whitening scandal to
grow up IN nolSome weeds along
the trail Of life.
Here a rose and there a fen
mel; here a lilly lifting its pure
face to the sun; there a noisome
creeper, clinging to the dirt, hid
ing from the light. And their
prototypes; here a brave word that
thrills the world: there a note OF
cowardice that numbs the soul:
here a truth fearing no search
light; there lie hiding in the
shadow,
Sowing, always sowing, scatter
ing the seeds in the rocky places
and the fertile places alike, never
stopping, going on and on, leaving

SOUTHERN PREPAREDNEss

SOUTHERN PREPAREDNESS
The best preparation the south
can make is to prepare to feed it.
self. Provisions are going to be
high this summer, and this fall
they are not only going to be high,
bnt they are going to be scarce.
If the southern people resolves
to feed themselves they will have
made a fine step forward in the
way of national preparedness. But
if the southern people resolve not
only to feed themselves but to have
surplus to distribute throughout
the rest of the country then will
they be contributing to the sup
port of the nation, then will they
be most helpful, and in a way that
will also be profitable.
The above from the Commercial
Appeal is good preaching and
should be given attention by our
people. We must not get the idea
that we can prosper on the mis-
fortunes of others, because Of the
conditions brought on by war,
without suffering ourselves. The

Congress will convene in extra
session next Monday. An extra
session had been called for April
rs, but owing to the war condi-
tions the president moved the time
up to Monday. Owing to the close
ness of the political strength Of
the two parties in the house there
is much conjecture as to which
party will organize that body
The Democrats are insisting that
Mr.. Clark will continue TO pre-
side over that body.

high prices are all right if we have
the money, but, as a rale, high
price on one article means high
prices on other articles, and the
man who grows what he eats IS
sure to have plenty, let the prices
be high Or low.
In pitching your crops every
farmer should resolve to grow
enough to feed his family and have
some to spare.

ApopIexy Days.

It is the lethargic, full blooded, thick and short necked subject who eats and drinks more than is good for him and who does not take sufficient exer- else who. most frequently falls a vic tim to apoplectic seizures, according to the New York Medical Journal, Quoting Dr. F. Barlow, it says, "The majority of seizures occur on Sunday or Monday, owing probably to the greater indulgence in the joys of the table on the day of rest and the slight increase in excitement consequent on the return to business"
 Big eaters and cocoa drinkers are just as liable to it as heavy drinkers. Alcohol Is frequently made the scape- goat for an attack of this character, when really excessive eating is to blame"
 It is easier to prevent than to cure apoplexy. Moderation in eating and drinking and regular action of the bowels are the very best preyentiVes.

PreposIna With g spIaoh.

One of the strangest courtship. cus- toms in the world Is related of the Tarascan Indians of Mexico in the Ma tional Geographic Magazine.
 The land of the Tarascans lies due west of the City of Mexico, and here the natives retain many of their prac- hces which were well established when the spaniards first landed at Vera Cruz. Here is the accepted method of courtship, for example:
 The lover goes to the spring where the object of his affections Is accus- toned to fill her water jar. He holds her shawl until she accepts him, and then with a stick he breaks the jar which she holds on her head and gives her a betrothal baptism of water.
 According to Prescott the Tarascans had Noah, called TrezpL who es- capped from a great flood In boat laden with animals. Instead of dove Trezpi sent out vulture first and then a humiming bird, according to the legend.
 The Tarascans once possessed the se- cret of tempering copper, an art now lost to the world.

aPersenaIItyg on tI1o staae.

In his book "The Truth About the Stage" the author who hides his iden- tity under the term "one of Broad ways best known theatrical mana. gers,p writing of personality" in the actor or actress, says:
 q don't believe it has ever been ade- quately defned-probabIy it never will be. But Its importance can scarcely be 'oyerestimated, It is, a kind of in- tangible. elusive radium emanation that defes analysis, but 1t can do more to convert a sow's ear into a silk purse than anything else in the world. Under its magic spell downright ugliness may seem to be beauty and stupidity may easily, enough be mistaken for bril- Hancy. It is the quality that every successful actor and actress possesses and without which. no actor and no actress rises to any appreciable height in the profession. It flashes across the footlights more effectively than beauty, ability and experience com bined, and, while the spectator himself, perhaps, is not aware of the fact, he applauds 1t more than he applauds any thing else"

Killed by a Shout.

A joyful shout, thoughtlessly given by an Italian smuggler on having eluded the customs guards on the Swiss frontier was the cause of his six companions being killed by an ava. lanche. The party, coming from the Grisons, had, with a thousand precau. tions, successfully negotiated the For cola pass, on the Swiss-Italian border. Five of the men were loaded with val uable contraband goods, and two acted as guides and scouts. When they were all safely on Italian soil one of the guides named Muretoll gave vent to 8 joyful yodel. In the still air the least sound causes a vibration which may set enormous masses of snow moving. This is what occurred here. A. quarter of a million tons of snow detached itself from the mountain side'and came laundering down upon the party, who were swept in an instant into an abyss. Maretoli alone was able to ex- tricate himself.

Rankfna Lesson For Women.

A certified check is your own check, across the face of which the bank has stamped the word Certified" meaning that 1t guarantees payment. When a check is certified 1t is at that time charged up to your account and the money held out by the bank to pay the check when 1t Is presented. A certified check is required where valuables or papers are delivered in exchange for Q check. Also they are often held to make good certain transactions. A cer- tiled check Is accepted the same as money and is much safer to carry, as 1t is no good until indorsed. If you should have a certified check and later decide not to use 1t do not destroy the check. but take It to your bank and de- poslt 1t to your own credit. This is very important.-May Selley in South ern WopRn's Magazine.

Quick RotuEn.

It was a hard worked stan that served under General Kitchener in h. dia, and It wasn't often that Its mem- bers had time for a good, hearty chuckle. But once in a long time the war office slipped one over on the chief by sending the son of an earl or duke or some other high parsonage to serve as an addition to his staff. Such men, unless they had proved themselves first. never got there if Kitchener heard anything about 1t beforehand. One young officer arrived and reported Kitchener looked him over and asked coldly, Do you know when the next steamer sails for England2"
 "I haven't looked It up. sir" was the answer.
 You look 1t up-you sail on that steamer" said Kitchener in a dry voice. Good day, sir"

Malay Pearl Divers,

The Malay pearl divers are perhaps the finest in the world. When he is going to dive the Malay slowly lowers himself down from the side of the boat to the water and takes several breaths, each breath getting deeper and deeper. Finally he takes a tre- mendously long breath, turns head downward and plunges into the ocean depths. In two, three, or perhaps, If he is a very expert diver, In four min. utes, his form is seen in the water com. ing up. His face is turned upward. His strong hands beat the water away from under him in vigorous downward sweeps. His face looks terribly strained. At last, breathless, exhaust ed, he reaches the surface and Is hauled into the boat, where he lies quite still for a few moments, apparently ex- hausted. But in comparatively a few minutes he is ready to plunge again.
