IMacDoWelI Club
Host to knights
Of Columbus
Last Tuesday Evening the Knights Of
Columbus Club Was the Scene of
a Brilliant Musical Entertainment.
Members Greatly Pleased and Sur
prised With Excellence Of Enter
tainers.

AO MOmUCI6 VI Lu0 hulSuLS Ol W.
lumbus of this city were treated to
a beautiful program of musical num-
bers rendered by the Mcdowell Club
Of this city. 1t was indeed a great
surprise to the Knights as they did
not anticipate an. entertainment on
so large scale, and everyone who
had the good fortune of being present
is loud in his praise of each number
as rich and beautiful.
Miss Florence Davies, new
addition to the MacDowell Club, did
admirably. Particularly striking are
those ringing staccoto notes that leap
upward toward the close of each verse
carrying with them a delightful sug-
gestion of fairy bells.
The history of Scotch and Irish
music gave the members an ethereal
perception of the graces of character
possessed by some of our ancestors.
The Venetian song by the Misses
Shepard and milford, were sung with
never failing purity of voice and win
ming sympathy.
After listening to these ladies we
are more firmly convinced that music
never grows old and unserviceable.
What satisfies our aesthetic nature
completely will continue to satisfy it,
The selections were almost Italian
in their pure legato melody and their
fragile traceryy OF vocal orpamentation.
Jan Hal Griffee, always popular,
sang "The Crucifix"' which is rapidly
becoming great favorite with music
lovers. In "Guitare" brought forth his
rich musical voice and it seemed to
breathe a spirit of gratitude and
thankfulness to the Almighty, of the
most inspiring kind.
Miss Inez Williamson helped us all
appreciate the grace and charm of
Verdi"
Virgil Persons Interpretation of
Scarlatti's Pastoral" was a brilliant
and vivacious thing. The violinist's
active Imagination has enabled him
to see the piece through the COM
poser's eyes and he has made of it
delicate, finely drawn thread of
melody of an elegance and grace, lost
to US since the days. of powder,
patches and old brocade.
The vocal solo by Miss Alice Null
ford found here melody peculiarly
adapted to her rich vocal tones.
The several songs by the gifted Miss
Elsa Mace tell story in tones that
create an atmosphere of sensuous
beauty. She sang with a charm, an
artistry and liquid flow of voice ad-
mirably befitting the music and its
inspiration.
Miss Eloise Bateman delighted her
many admirers by her piano selec-
tions. She is an absolute master"
or MISTRESS" as you may term it,
in drawing music from this musical
instrument.
The accompanies were par excel
lence. The Mcdowell Club will al
ways be welcome at the Knights of
Columbus Club Rooms. The great
masters of music through the medium
of cultured people like these, have in
carnated in language, mellifuous,
gemmed with imagery, musical with
the melody of rhythm, fit body for
the indwelling soul-are giving to pos.
terity a greater service than that pos
sessed by painting or statuary.

for receiving at home, and then pinned
a cluster of violets Tod had sent that
morning at my waist. l had dressed

and flushed to see how young j looked.
You look stunning!" Tod exclaimed
with his usual elegance, as L greeted
him. Not a day older than you did

"Oh. yes. in a way! but he doesn't half

I was rising from the piano Robert
came in. He shook hands with Tod

said that If we'd excuse him he'd go to

he said as he left us alone.

I spend them alone just because Robert

That's so. why should you?" and he
sat down again.
For another hour we laughed and

after all these years that 7 deliberately

GeOrolG As O. L9Ue Stock State

Viewed I'm the perspective. the posi-
bilities OF animal industries in Georgia
are very great as compared with pres
emf attainments. Among the conditions
which favor this industry are mild
and equable climate with a growing
periOd of from seven to nine months.
In this length OF time a great variety
of crops can be seeded and brought to
maturity In many instances, two crops
NAV be grown on the same land and
harvested within the time limit mem
toned The length of the growing sea-
son lessons the period during which live
stock must be fed i'm the stable. which
should result in reducing the cost of
finishing them for market, as stall feed
ing is always expensive. Modest build
ings requiring a minimum outlay OF cap
itaI will provide the protection needed
against Indictment weather; hence the
cost of equipping the farm or ranch
need not be as great as in many other
parts of the country.
The soils of Georgia are varied and
so adapted to the growth of practically
every field crop which can be cultivated
with success i'm the United States. While
some OF our land areas would not be
classed as rich in plant food, they are
adapted TO the growth of both winter

system of farm management. The state
as a whole is very well watered and is
abundantly supplied with springs. par
ticularly north Of the fall line. The
water is of fine quality and is naturally
pure and wholesome. \ variety Of
shade trees grow with great rapidity,
so that live stock may be adequately
protected from the sun in the heat Of
the day. Bermuda grass thrives over
the greater part of the state. 1t does par
ticularly well on the red lands of the
central and northern half. The quality
of the grazing can be readily improved
through the use of Japan and bur clover
which grow admirably in association
with Bermuda grass. In the southern
part of the state other grasses may be
for Bermuda or the farmer
may depend on the use of grazing or
semi-grazing crops. not only in the sum-
mer, but during the fall and winter sea-
sO5. The climate there is milder than
in the northern half. and the land being
rather sandy in most localities, dries out
readily and is not injured by tramping.
Thus, nature has compensated one sec
tion Of the state for an advantage which
another may appear TO enjoy.
Forage crops can be grown with sue
cess IN All parts OF the STATE mus, IL
is possible to produce silage or rough
age in great quantities at a moderate
cost. In south Georgia, Japanese cane,
kafir corn, sorghum, corn and velvet
beans. cowpeas, soy beans, Sudan grass,
millet, and the leading winter-growing
cereals are among the crops which may
be used to advantage for the production
of silage or dry roughage. In the north
ern part, the same crops can be grown
with advantage with the exception of
Japanese cane. Yields of ten tons and
upwards per acre can be secured. The

Hunah! HoW'S This
Cincinnati authority says corns
dry up'and lift out
with fingers.


Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is need
less, says a Cincinnati authority. who
tells you that a quarter ounce of a
drug called freezone can be obtained
at little cost from the drug store but
is sufficient TO rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You simply apply few drops of
freezone on a tender. aching corn and
soreness is instantly relieved. Short
IL the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky, but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivaI up any
corn without inflaming or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.-(Advt.)

T" VALUE OF GOOD CHARACTERS
TO A YOUNG MAN.


The times We live in at the present
are very unsettled. and dangers are
many to careless youth as we'll as to
men of maturer years, because we know
not what an hour can bring forth, eth
er in business or health. Under these
strenuous conditions strong men are
stricken down in q. moment OF time and
pa IS out into the Great Beyond without
an hours warning. Tt is a common oc-
currence and the newspapers are filled
with the destruction OF human life
across the water beyond the power OF
our imagination to appreciate or COM
prehend.
In our own country the demand for
reliable workers was never before equal
led. Good men. with good morals and
good maners. are in urgent demand.
1t has reached a place where a man
who tipples cannot secure a position in
bank. on a railroad train or in any
other situation. when his incorporate
habits are discovered. And young
man who has stepped aside from the
path of honest dealing will not be accept
able no matter, how competent he may
be in mental requirement.
In truth. there is nothing that will
stand the storms and liabilities of hu-
man Iife equal to good character. I,
am not including reputation in this es'
say on good character Tnere is VAST

missing and yet a fair outside will be
shown TO the casual eve.
But good character cannot do without
these essentials OF rectitude and hon
esty They are the basic stones OF
good character. l have known people in
my long life who sat on the amen bench
es in the church that j knew also to
be as crooked as rams horn in bust
ness transactions, actually unfit TO be
trusted in dealings with their neigh
bors. and sometimes with their nearest
of kin. They were "whited sepulchers'

side. They have often been wealthy and
prominent, but nobody that knew them
had a silver of respect for their repu-
tation. If a young man has good char

would It pay me TO mix IL in equal parts
with 10 pc" cent acid CLd use ferti-
lizer or y9ouil IL be pest T. sell the meal
and buy fertilizer?
Velvet bean meal could. Of course
he mixed with 16 per cent acid phos-
phate and used for fertilizing purposes.
II would not make a high grade fer
tilizer. however. as velvet bean meal
contains only about so pounds Of nitro
gen, 20 pounds of phosphoric acid and
"a pounds of potash per ton. Mix vel
vet beans and acid phosphate in equal
amounts and you will get a formula
containing about 2 per cent of nitrogen,
So per cent of phosphoric acid and
about 10 per cent of potash. IF you
use cotton seed meal Of a high grade
in association with your 16 per cent
acid phosphate YOU will secure a fer
tilizer containing a much higher per-
centage of nitrogen.
Most Of our Georgia soils require a
formula running rather high in nitro
gen. On this account we advise the
use of a larger amount OF this element
than YOU would obtain through an APP
plication of the combination suggested
i'm your letter. Three hundred pounds
and upwards of a mixture of cotton
seed meal and acid phosphate would
provide a good standard formula for
use under corn and cotton Naturally
this formula is low in potash. but at
the present prices il is doubtful if the
farmer can afford TO buy and use this
material in any considerable quantity
and profit himself materially thereby.

FAMILY

Twenty-odd years ago young man
with only a common school education
and wife and three children was out
of Job in Pennsylvania, not far from
the town OF Reading. He bought
small, rundown place. with brick
house on it. an. old barn and two acres
of worn-out land. He bought on a
credit, at $4,000 with interest. He had
in hand only $780, so he bought milk
route six cows for $3.50. He had 10
buy his cow feed. and for the 100 chick
ems that he also purchased as a crop
prospect.
Every pound of the fertilizer produced
by the six cows and 100 chickens was
strewn on the open two acres of
ground. In six years he was able to
sell his cows and milk route and get
down regularly to truck farming. You
would like to know what he raised on
those two acres?
From 1000 to 5000 heads of lettuce.
from 10000 to $4,000 small onions for
punching. He placed from eight to ten
in a bunch and sold for cents. Be-
sides enough onion sets to plant again.
he averaged $143 from little onion
punches alone. He raised red beets for
1000 punches. cents a bunch. Aspara-
gus that brought him 500 punches each
season. EndlVe that netted MIN WOO
annually. He got as much from his
lettuce. had 500 stalks of fine toma-,
to plants, and his celery, 1900 stalks.
he sold at cents a stalk. He raises
every year from $4,000 to 100000 of
these celery stalks. His plants are
ready to set early in June, and he
covers between the rows with old sacks
to retain the moisture
He never uses pillow on this two
acre farm. From July through August
he continues setting the celery plants
for coming winter. The plants are set
thirteen inches apart, and he sets $50
square feet in these plants on level cul-
tivation. He raises some peaches and
apples, and his poultry yard is contin-
ually full. He sells his young ROSTERS
at 80 cents a pound. He averages dur
ing the year 139 eggs to each hen. He
expects to make every hen bring him
in cash 81 per year. He has one COW.
milk and butter for his own use. and
no other live stock. His income is
from $1,000 to $1,000 annually on these
two acres. He has long ago paid for
the land. The family have had good
health and are fond of the life. where
