Very ProfftabZe
BY A. E. KENNEDY.

At the February meeting of the
Louisiana Cane Planters Association
at New Orleans, a report was read on
five years OF diversified farming on
800 acres OF well worn cane land.
First, the soil of this land was
analysed and record Of same made.
The land was divided into three fields
of 100 acres each, and planted to cane,
to corn and peas, 10 hay crops and
pasturage.
The first year the loss as compared
with all cane was $500
The second year the crop produced
equalled an all cane crop.
The third, fourth and fifth years
showed gains over all cane.
Based upon the fifth year, the cane
crop to be grown on seventh year on
100 acres will equal that on 300 acres
before diversification or crop rotation
was adopted. No commercial fertili-
GERS have been used on this 300 acres,
but all solid and liquid manures and
all waste matter has been returned
10 the soil. The expense accounts on
200 diversified acres in less than all
cane crop.
More accurate and painstaking bus
mess capacity is required to success

corn or cation farm. For example, the
farmer must learn the amount Of live
stock in mules, cattle, hogs and sheep

livestock must grow every month in
the year. The silO is the insurance
policy against drought on livestock,
while diversified farming guarantees

THE EXCHANGE BANK
Strong Deposition

The set of business men who con-
duct the affairs of the Exchange bank

terest and cooperation. They are
thinkers" enough to know that men
live one by the other; the merchant
by the farmer, the banker by the mer-
chant and the farmer, an dso on down
the line.
The Exchange bank realizes that the
business interests of the nation in the
crisis that now confrOnts the whole
world, and especially in south Geor-
gia, where the effects Of the boil wee
vii are beginning to DE fully felt, de-
pend greatly on the production of
food supplies. The bank is calling
on the farmers to plant more food
and feed crops, and raise more hogs
and cattle.
The officers and directors of the
Exchange bank have made a careful
and conscientious study OF recent de-
yeloDmen$s ana Ger these sugge5-
tiCns because they know the safety

banks own safety and enlargement.
The Exchange bank began business

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH,

The First Baptist church OF Cordele
Georgia, was organized in 1889. The
records not being in hand, it is not pos
sible to trace the history OF the church
through the years, SO the struggles and
triumphs of the churcha early history
must be left for another writer. Any
way, the present position occupied by
the church and the manner Of her fac
ing the future. are the main things in
teresting the public just now.
From 1889 until about the year 1908
the church moved along about as the
ordinary town church moyes,-with lit
tie signs of life. The building was
located at Seventh street and Four
teenth avenue, a bit out Of the center
of things and far too near the rail
road for the most dcvout worship.
There came a time when the congrega-
ton seems to have had vision of a
better town and more hope Of the
church, so three lots were bought at
Sixth street and Thirteenth avenue,
perhaps the best location, everything
considered in the city, Here one Of
the most commodious pastors homes
in the state was built, lie corner he
tng reserved for the church. This
new property was paid for in 1912, the
lots and the pastors home costing
the congregation @13,509, For four or
five years the church had felt the
need Of a new home, but had not been
able to muster sufficient courage to
undertai;c the task Of building. Such
an undertaking is full Of perils. There
are many opportunities for mistakes,
Misunderstanding hard feelings and
assumptions, with crushing debt 10
burden he church for years. To avoid
these things is The triumph Of church
building. An army IS successful when
it is marching in unison against the
enemy and not when retreating in dis
order

Had it been built in the usual piece
meal way, it would have cost some
thing like $45,OOOOO. There is being
added a handsome $4,000 Pitcher pipe
organ, and, when ali the extras put
into the building are taken into consid-
GRAFTON, there has been put into the
building more than $4,000, every dol
lar of which has been paid. The build
ing is conceded to be one of the most
beautiful in the south and one of the
most splenddly equipped church
plants to be found, the construction
economical the arrangement nearly
ideal and the acoustics perfect.
During the planning, raising money
and building, the most beautiful mar
mony and fellowship prevailed, not
negative vote being cast in the church.
The Sunday School was constantly
built up, the church's offerings to be-
nevolence always increasing, while
many of the best men in the city were
baptiZed. The church purposely and
Drayerfully tried to set an example
Off other churches in the south, and
many have followed the example.
The church faces outward, equipped
for die most noble service. There is
not church in the land better prepar-
ed 10 accomplish large things and it
is believed thot she stands at the open
Sunday school OF more than 500,
door ready fer greater conQuests. With
membership Of $50 and one of the best
Woman's Missionary Socie-
ties, the church faces the future with
brightest prospects.

upward; faithfully to give your sup
port and your personal help to the
efforts which, in our conscience, we
believe to be the social life of the
world.
If we have sought through life moth
ing but pleasure and ease, instead OF
taking up our share of life's burden,
death may seem a terrible specter.
for we have been given a chance to
better life and we have wasted the
opportunity.
Not so much that work done, as
what we have been to our fellowman,
or the character we have built, will be
the strength with which we shall move
On. The task of service, however
humble, is spiritual and immortal, it
cannot end with DEATH and when we
cross the lonely verge, every tiny
kindness we have offered on the way
of life, every act of self-sacrifice and
self discipline will be given a voice
and will sing unto US courage and
faith while we make the crossing.
All the unreal things, all the arti
fetal will fade away in the face
Of this supreme reality, and all Of
sudden we will know fully and really
that.
Yes, time flies, and death, the re-
ward of cur living test, is just over
there waiting to greet HIS. How far
ere you along the way of developed,
reliable, staunch character?
How many will regret your going?
No one who really thinks, believes
death is the end of al things. Death
is the end OF this life, this present
trial Of strength, that is all. New trials
doubtless new tests, different strug-
gles- But the strength and the peace
and the courage with which we go Oh,
The friendliness with which we meet
death, does indeed depend upon what
we are doing. Look over the record
carefully; mend all you can; fight with
all your yigor for a fair future, and
then at last, be ready to greet friend
Death with a cheor!"

WATT-HOLMES HDW.
OPERATE Big Chain

The Watt-Holmes Hardware com
pany is an enterprise representing an
investment of 100000. This company
operates at Cordele, Fitzgerald, Ocil-
Ia and Douglas, and d. Holmes, junior
partner of the concern, is general
manager for this chain of stores.
James Watt, Of Thomasvil!e, is the
senior partner. There could be no
doubt as to the strength Of this con
Germ, while the fact that it has been
established for the past twenty years,
spreading from a STOCK OF $4,000 and
one store, is best proof that the estab-
lighment has been prosperous to a
great degree. II IS further proof that
the Watt-HOlmes Hardware company
has given value received and general
satisfaction to hundreds and thousands
OF customers. It proves still further
hat the affairs Of this concern have
been directed by capable and efficient
business men, who have not merely
prospered because this section has de-
yeloped and pr0spered, but because
they were aggressive and initiative in
plans and movements to bring pros
perity to this section and their own

The following interesting paper was
--------------.-----
read before a recent meeting o. the
Woman's Missionary meeting OF the
Methodist church:
The life worth living in the long
run is life of love and service to
others.
St Paul said that those he had help
ed were his hope and joy and crown
Of glory. tits so of all who live for
Christ They do their part Of the
worlds work; but the real harvest
they look for is not in material things,
but in the things of life and love. Even
in this world the true glory Of life is
in the good we do for others. Work
we do in stone will crumble, but when
we teach a great lesson to child its
influence will last forever; when we
put courage into into fainting heart
we may change destiny, or when we
lead a soul to Christ we save one from
death for life. The sweetes of earth
is that which comes from the con-
seriousness of doing good comforting
sorrow, relieving distress, healing a
borken heart, freeing life from the
power of sin, or bondage Of evil habit.
In the heavenly life also those we have
helped en- earth will be our crown and
joy.
"God recketh not Of great or small,
Nor counts our human art,
His smile that shines upon us all,
Seeks out the living heart.
The tiniest service done for love,
Cutweighs earth's costliest ware.
Who loves shall dwell in Heaven above
On earth, in peace shall fare
There is a loftier ambition than
merely to stand high in the world. 1t
is to stoop down and life mankind
a little higher There is a nobler
character than that which is merely
incorrupt;hle. 1t is the character
which acts as an antidOte and preyen-
tative of corruption. Fearlessly TO
speak the words which bear witness
to righteousness and truth and purity >,
patiently do the deeds which
strengthen virture and llindle hope in
your felloWmen, generously TO lend q

THE M. P.'s" OF FORT RILEY
IL Is Well Not To Argue With "Mick-
cy" Flints Boys.


II you happen to go out to Fort

You can recognize them easily, be-

to do or not to do, it will be the bet
ter part of wisdom to start needing
their instructions forthwith, immedi-
ately and with dispatch.
These men with the IN. P.'s" on
their arms are Mickey" Flints boys.
Now. to anybody knowing Mickey
Flint that means a lot. This Flint
man is big, wide -shouldered, deep
chested. pillar-legged Irishman with

out in a formidable manner. He is
the business man at Fort Riley and, if
not the best liked, he is at the least
n close runnerup.
They say that when Mickey" Flint

police at the big camp he went en-
tirely thru the Thirteenth cavalry, n

heroics about them, but there is
something decidedly awesome in their

bulge beneath their shirts. their eyes
meet yours with an impact that is a
trifle disturbing; they don't carry on
idle conversation. But let anybody
start row, or try to smuggle a bottle
| Of whisky on the reservation, or try
to climb thru a street car window, or
act in a suspicious manner and one
or more OF Mickey" Flint's boys is
right on the spot and business has a
remarkable way of picking up when
one of those huskies arrives.
At one OF the recent spectacular
