AN BlTloN.

If you would rise above the throng
And seek the crown of fame,
You must do more than drift along
And merely play the game.
Whatever path your feet may tread,
Whatever be your quest,
The only way to get ahead
Is striving for the best.
IT'S not enough to wish to do
A days toll fairly well;
If you would rise to glory, you
Must hunger to excel.
The boy who has the proper stuff
Goes into every test
Not seeking to be good enough"
But eager to be "best."
Aim high! And though you fail today
And may tomorrow fail,
Keep pounding steadily away,
Some day you'll hit the nail.

MILK AND CREAM

At no halfway mark ever pause
In SNUG content to rest.
Who would win honor and applause
Must want to be the best.
The best must be your way in life,
The best in sport or work,
Success in any form or strife
Falls never to the shirk.
The crowns of leadership are few,
The followers move in throngs,
If you would be leader, you
Must shun the drift alongs.'

If YOU WILL IT.

1t you are dominated by resolu-
ton that recognizes no defeat, neither
men nor demons can keep you back.
II you yearn for an education, if you
are hungry for knowledge, no matter
how hard or confined your lot in life
may be, you will manage somehow to
get at the books you want and to find
time to read them. If you long for
self-culture, you will manage some
how to snatch the opportunity for it
in the very teeth of your daily duties.
If you have an artistic soul, an
artists longing for beauty, you will
contrive somehow to see beautiful pic
lures, statuary, scenery, to post your
self on works of art: you will let no
opportunity pass for getting a little

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
"LUCk."

The boy who's always wishing
That this or that might be,
But never tries his mettle,
Is the boy that is bound to see
His plans all come to failure,
His hopes end in defeat;
For that's what comes when wishing
And working fail to meet.
The boy who wishes this thing
Or that thing with a will
That spurs him on to action,
And keeps him trying still,
When efforts meet with failure,
Will some day surely win;
For he works out what he wishes,
And that's where luck comes in
The "luck'' that I believe in
Is that which comes with work;
And no one ever finds it
Is Who's content to wish and shirk.
The men the world calls lucky
Will tell you, every one,
That success comes not with wish
ing,
But by hard work, bravely done.

PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

During August and September the farmer should find time to provide feed for the late fall and winter months. Many farmers have a few hogs for killing purposes. Store feed lis so high-priced that it is almost pro- hibitive. The only cheap feed that can be had this year is pasture, and it cannot be had in most instances un- less planting is done during this month and next.
 Nothing will make more hog pas ture than rape, if 1t is seeded on good soil and especially on soil that is in- clined to be little moist. An acre of rape ought to furnish one-half the pasture for five or six one-hundred pound shoats throughout the entire winter. The seed of rape is compara- lively cheap, which is a big item this season. Rape makes splendid mix ture with red rust-proof or winter wheat as winter grazing crop.
 The cotton middles on at least few acres should be sown to wheat, oats or rye. It will cut out much of the feed bill for the horse, mule and cow.
 Extra care should be taken this season to save the clover, alfalfa and pea crops in good shape. Because of the large amount of water that the stems of these crops contain, they are always hard to cure When cut with the mower they should be raked up into windrows just as soon as the leaves begin to wilt. The water in the stem goes out by evaporation through the leaves If the plants are allowed to lay on the ground in the swath until the leaves are bleached and burned in the sun the evaporation cannot take place and the stems dry out slowly. In addition to the slow curing many of the leaves are lost. At least 30 per cent of the feeding value of the plant is in the leaves.
 Start to picking the cotton crop early. Very often the mistake is made of waiting until the entire crop is open before picking is started. Whenever there is much open cotton in the field some of it will drop off on the ground where it will be damaged. especially if it rains. A great deal is lost every year because part of the lint is allowed to fall off on the ground due to not pushing the picking. With the price of cotton this year the farm CTS can afford to use every precaution to save the crop in as good condition as possible.

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree of
Clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you ms de
on the best FIVE acres of cotton you
ever grew!

STRIKE IS AVERTED
BY DANGER OF WAR
RAILROADS YIELD TO PRESI-
DENTS APPEAL. GRANT DE-
MAND FOR s-HOUR LAW.

The railroad strike has been avert
ed. Yielding to the appeal of Pres
ident Wilson and facing the proba-
bility of the country's entrance into
world war the railroads yesterday
granted the four brotherhoods' de-
mands for a basic eight-hour law
The brotherhoods then called off the
strike. What is regarded as COM
plete surrender by the railroads will
cost them approximately sixty mil
lion dollars yearly. Three hundred
thousand men will profit by the con-
cession, which puts the Adamson law
into effect irrespective of the SUI
preme courts action.
The crisis resulting from the sink
ing of three American ships was the
prime factor in the action taken by
the railroads.
Looked Like Deadlock.
The railroads decision came after
fifty hours of anxious conference, all
of which, until a short time before
the announcement, pointed to an in
evltable deadlock, and after the me-

fact that they view the outlook with
pessimism. Both sides had been told
of the seriousness of the information
al situation, but this apparently had
fallen on dead ears. Secretary Lane
had issued statement saying he
would renew the conferences Mon
day, intimating that he was none too
hopeful. After the brotherhood chiefs
had gone to their hotel the mediators
conferred with the railroad managers
again, with the result that the latter
are said to have voted unanimously
to yield to the brotherhoods in order
that neither at home nor abroad
should there be fear or hope that the
efficient operation of the railroads
of the country would be hampered
or impaired"
Secretary Lane paid a high trib-
ute to the patriotism of the railroads.

l believe the Community Club can be
OF a great assistance, especially
where there is not so much wealth
in the community.
The cost of production of any kind
of live stock will depend on how
cheap we can grow the feeds. Know
ing when to feed and how to feed
them. Green feed makes much more
profits than dry feed because it is
much more easily produced. We
want to use the feeds at the times
that we can secure the greatest prof
its, and to do this we must study our
lands and conditions. No one knows
how much he can make on a hog or
cow or field unless he keeps some
kind of a record of what he is doing.
| believe that if the farmers would
keep books on all operations there
would be more feed stuff and less
cotton grown each year, because of
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton.

INSTRUCTIVE MEETING
Needs of Proper Sanitation Deeply
Impressed on the Audience. Plans
For Cleanup Week Outlined.


The regular meeting of the w. c..
T. U. was held in the annex of the
Methodist church Friday afternoon,
with a good attendance.
Mrs. W. H. Gurr, superintendent
of Health and Hygiene, had arranged
a program which deeply impressed
the needs of proper sanitation and
brought to the attention of the audi
ence other matters of special import
ance relating to the city's health and
appearance. Mr.. McLendon, repre-
sented the health committee from
the council, responded to an invita-
ton from Mrs. Gurr to that body.
He read health ordinances, which it
seems need to be stressed 'lest we
forget" 1t is unlawful to throw pa
per or trash of any kind on the
streets. All places where fresh meats
or breads are offered for sale must
be screened. Attention was called to
the menace of neglected watering
places for stock. Mosquitoes breed
very quickly, and all such places
should be thoroughly washed once a
week. In no other way can we add
so effectively to the health of the
community as by getting rid of flies
and mosquitoes. The city will fur
nish free of charge disinfectants, so
there is no excuse for negligence of
this vitality important precaution.
