PLANT RIGHT CROPS

She stressed the importance of plant ing the right crops upon the different kinds of soil. She insisted upon three crops of Irish potatoes one crop to be planted in April and another in June, and told the farmers that the last planted crop was the most profitable one.
 She stressed the importance of plant ing such winter crops as would pro- duce food in the wintertime, such as cabbage, turnips, kale and other win ter foods She stressed the import ance of the farmers making a full crop of peas beans and sorghum, cot ton lard and meat. These have al- ways cost about the same per pound. One thousand pounds of cotton will buy a thousand pounds of meat. It Is conservatively estimated that six acres of the average land will make a thousand pounds of cotton. It is also conservatively estimated that, four acres will make a thousand pounds of meat.
 She showed beyond doubt that with a less amount of work the same six acres will produce a profit over and above the cotton of $250 per acre.
 Mrs. Mathis closed her address with an appeal to the people to be loyal to the nation.

THREE THINGS TO DO

There are three things the people must do for the country. We must waste less and produce more. Enough food is wasted in Alabama to feed her population"
 Mrs. Mathis condemned in no un- certain terms the extravaganza of the southern people by allowing their children to buy gum, candy and other useless products and stressed the fact that we should economize by the elim- ination of these mistakes. She urges upon the business men of the county to appoint committee to make the following investigations:
 1. How much food is there in Wal ker county?
 2. What do we need in food lines?
 8. Can we spare anything to other states or counties?
 4. What proportion of the present crops planted is food-producing crops?
 5. See that the seeds are sufficient and of the proper kind.
 6. See that the farmer has sufficient fertilizer

SCHEME FOR MAKING MONEY
Irving BacheIIer, Head of Newspaper Syndicate, Would Buy Up All Great
 Aux Eggs In Existence.

When Irving Bacheiier was running a newspaper syndicate and publishing a juvenile magazine in New York he always sat in a large porch rocking chair before fat desk so heaped with letters that every few minutes little epistolary avalanche would shoot down from it to the floor. One day Orson Lowell, the artist, who was a partner in the magazine, found him in a more than usually meditating mood, and said to him.
 What's the matter, Irving; got an idea?"
 Yes" answered Bacheller, very slowly, "a big one. One that will make us all rich. You know the great aux is extinct, and that there are only four of it's eggs in existence. They are worth thousands of dollars apiece, and a great aux itself would be price less. My notion is to get these eggs and hatch 'em."
 But how will you hatch them?" asked Lowell.
 "Oh," answered Bacheller, visibly annoyed. T haven't given that point any thought yet. But it's mere de- tail-a mere detail. The plan is bound to succeed. And it will make us all rich. ."-Womans Home Com paniOn.

FOR THE GLORY OF THE KAISER German Efficiency Said To Be Utilizing Bodies of Dead for Ammunition and
 for Fertilizer

philosophers and military writers would make the economic disposal of the dead seem an act of high patriotism upon the part of the liv- ing. one which consecrates even the ashes of the German soldier to the cause of his country. Gen. von Bern hardt. it is imaginable, would con sider the concluding stanza of The Bivouac of the Dead" mere romantic flubdub exalting the warrior unduly, and placing his country in a false position as his debtor, whereas the Prussian conception of state making is that the country is everything and the human unit military or civil, is nothing. That the state is entitled to "the ashes of the brave" not as "war's richest spoil" which Theodore OHara conceived it as be- ing. but as commodity useful in the prosecution of war might be ar gued fluently by any one among a score of German writers who de- light in emphasizing the unimport- ance of anything but military con quest.
 Shipping corpses of soldiers to a rendering plant may be revolting but cannibalsm has been practiced by ship-wrecked sailors to whom it would have been revOlting in cir cumsances less uncompromising And that Germany, in her isolation and desperation, might turn even to can nibalism might be conceivable to persons whose imaginations are less developed than that of Poe in the conception of horrors. Assuredly the use of the dead soldier-or sol diers and civilians-for making ex- plosives and fertilizers-is not who'll ly incredible when we consider the military teaching upon which the foundations of the Prussian hege- mony rest, and upon which the in spiration which resulted in this war was fed
 The German soldier, who is used in the battle line living, and in the rendering fat dead, is so employed for the glory of the Kaiser, who agrees fully with the famous French King who said, "I am the State.' When part of Hans or Fritz is fed to the pigs to make pork for the sol diers direct cannibalism is avoided. When the rest of him is employed in high explosives and he is literal ly shot into the ranks of the enemy from the mouth of a cannon he is used for Germany Otherwise he might be buried in a ditch to fertil- ize fields which are being recon quered by the Allies for France.
