SOCIETY'S HARDTACK.

An almost marvellous item, buried in the
corner of the newspapers, has come out of
aristocratic Newport. In substance it an
nounces that Americas smartest society has
eschewed humming birds tongues and other
edibles of the gods, and has descended to
plain corned beef and cabbage, and other
humber viands upon which we of moderate
estate subsist
If economy really has struck Newport,
and pork chops and hash and potatoes with
their jackets on actually grace the tables of
the fabulously rich indeed has the conserva-
ton crusade fulfilled purposeful results. It
is said that Newport's chatelaines have
grown so frugal that they insist upon the
Feelings being cooked on spuds to prevent
their kitchen help from wasting the goody.
This is undoubtedly the stunningest blow
that has been dealt extravaganza, for since
the real 400 Of the blue bloOdest in the
country have adopted such program that
great army of social climbers who regard
the Newport smart sets examples as sacred
will follow suit, and, of course, we common
folk will be eager to go the limit in econom-

Woman Who Married For Money
Bv Winifred Black

The woman thought he was rich, so she
married him. She was a poor woman, and
she had worked hard all her life, first in a
shop and then in little house where she
took in bOarders and darned their shirts, for
a consideration.
The boarders weren't satisfactory. They
were rough men, and they wore out her fur
niture and grumbled over the meals and
Joked each other about her, and asked her
why she didn't ''catch husband" and set
tie down.
She was tired of it all, tired of peeling
potatoes Tor breakfast and peeling onions
for dinner. Tired of scrubbing the floor on
Saturday, and hopping on Monday
Tired of trying to make four prunes in
dish look like half dozen and taste like
fresh peaches and cream. Tired of irving
to think of new kind of meat, and tired
OF trying to invent new kind of pie.
Tired of being tired, and lonesome, and
humble, and no account to anybody. Tired
OF sitting on the worst chair and sleeping on
the hardest bed, and eating what was left
when the boarders were through.
Tired of the oilcloth on the kitchen table.
and tired of old shoes and shabby dresses.
And 1t was spring and the lilacs were in
bloom, and the man said he was rich and
would take care Of her and she would never
nave to do another days work as long as
she lived.

you wanted to!

alyssum and water them and weed them
Time to have canary-there was a per-

to sing. Time for the movies two or three
times week. Think of that and money

morning. Time for a bath in the afternoon.
Money-lOts of it-enough to buy pink

Poor SOUL how she longed for them all! And
all she got was man out of a job, who
came home with her after the wedding and
settled down to be supported.
So she went to court and told her story
to the judge, and the Judge gave her a d.

breakfast and peeling onions for dinner. and
trying to make four prunes in dish look

The boarders have a real joke on her now,
one that they will never forget nor let her

Poor thing! maybe she was mercenary to
marry for money-perhaps she was doing
the man she married wrong-but somehow

you?

Lost-A Boy.

From the Newman Herald and Advertiser.
Not kidnapped by bandits and hidden
away IN cave to weep and rouse a nation
to frenzied searching Were that the case
one hundred thousand men would rise to the
rescue II need be. Unfortunately, the losing
OF the lad is without any dramatic excite
ment, though very sad and very real The
fact is, his father lost him! Being too busy
to sit with him at the freside and answer
his trivial questions during the years when
fathers are the only great heroes of the bows
he let go his hold upon him.
Yes, his mother lost him Being much en-
crossed in her teas dinners and clubs she
let the maid hear the boy say his PRAYERS.
and thus her grip slipped and the boy was
lost to his home
Aye the church lost him Being so much
occupied with sermons for the wise and ell
DERBY who pay the bills, and having good
care for dignity, the minister and elders
were unmindful of the human feelings of
the boy in the pew, and made no provision
IN sermon or song or manly sport for his
boyishness, and so the church and many sad
hearted parents are today looking for the
lost boy.

Out of the Fire into Frying Pan
From the Progressive Farmer,

1t seems that with one accord farmers
threatened with boil weevil this season have
determined that peanuts are the crop to take
the place of cotton. The strange thing is
that whenever anything threatens the cot
ton crop all the growers want another crop
10 take It's place as One-crop plant. They
seem to utterly fail to understand that there
are hundreds of thousands of prosperous
farmers who never saw a cotton plant and
yet make living and money from growing
wheat, corn, oats, legumes and livestock
Men who farm with these grain crops and
maintain the fertility of their soil with leg
umes and their use in feeding and return the
manure to their land can grow these same
crops as prOtitably in the South as in the
North and without any cotton, or can nut
cotton into rotation and get what the boil
weevils do not.
No one crop is going to make a success
where you fail with cotton, and the sooner
the cotton farmers get to real farming the
more Independent they will be of the boil
Weevll. The man who is farmer in the best
manner does not fear the loss of the cotton
crop, even if it is a total loss, for his epgs
are not all IN that one basket, and the man
who simply ADOPTS a new crop with the cul-
ovation OF which he is unfamiliar will find
himself no better off than with cotton, for
peanuts are just as liable to huctuation in
price as cotton.
There can be no objection to any one in
the South taking peanuts into a rotation
with corn, cotton and grain. l was last year
In section where they plant peanuts and
corn, and corn and peanuts year after year,
ana the farmers are not as we'll off as a
class as those in sections where no one
ever grew a peanut, but have farmed sue
cessfully with corn, wheat and clover It is
not the crop that makes the farmer, but the
farmer who makes the crop, and with good
rotatIve farming there is money to be made
in any of our American crops and the only
men who go into Mysteries over damage to
the cotton crop are those whose whole in
terest IS tied up in the one crop-who are
planters and not farmers.

wife, sister, friend, has closed the history
of life. During its prime was the time for

THE INEVITABLE DEFINITION

1t is unreasonable to expect to be at war
and have things go on as before. Once de-
clared, war becomes the principal business
of the country. This is true at least when
the antagonist is Of dangerous size and
strength. If the war is not prosecuted sue
cessfully the penalty may be loss of nation
al existence.
Having gone to war it is essential to lend
every energy toward winning the war in the
most economical fashion. If this means big
bond issues and high taxes the public must
put up with big bond issues and high taxes.
If it requires the raising of large army by
CONSUMPTION there is nothing to be said about
that. If it calls for reduced rations the con-
sequences must be faced. If it becomes nee
essary to commander all of the output of
barbed wire factories for the trenches the
farmers must somehow manage to get along
without barbed wire. If the farmers are not
able to raise enough food on a large scale
the city men must do their part on a small
scale. If the national morale is to be main
tanned all of these things must be done
cheerfully, in a patriotic spirit A people
that is continuously wrangling with itself

best progress in the big things-which i,

1t would no doubt doe revelation to the
public to know what quantities of vegeta-
bles and fruits have been canned in this
Section. The women of Terrell county have
not had much to say about their part in
conserving food, but the pantry shelves of
the housewives tell the tale Several in
Dawson have invested in canning outfits, and
the good work goes on day by day. Corn
and tomatoes are just now the vegetables
most plentiful and both will add materially
to the winter menus in many a home. Pre-

1t is intimated in dispatch from Wash
ington that unless the Georgia senators be
good and acquiesce in his choice of federal
judge for the South Georgia district the
president may not fill the vacancy at all. If
that should be the course given the matter it
is not at all probable that the public welfare
would suffer in the least, for it is well known
that the position was created for political
reason, and not because there was really
need for it. The senators naturally feel that
having been instrumental in creating the
office for political and personal reasons they
should be consulted as to who shall fill it.

Judging by big headlines in the news
papers announcing the interesting if not en-
thusing fact the finding of way to raise
100000 more revenue for the state is
great, glorious accomplishment, and evidenc-
es alert and patriotic craftsmanship. 1t means
that something (if there is such a thing) that
is not already taxed has been found upon
which the tax gatherer must lay his hands,
or something which is already taxed to an
extent that is burdensome will be taxed still
more. Although it is. fashionable to levy
and collect taxes these times, an announce
ment that way had been found by which
100000 less taxes would be needed would
be of more interest and helpful to the
people.

Every year just about this time, when big
appropriations are wanted from the Georgia
general assembly, an expert bookkeeper
comes along and shows that the states f.

when teachers and pensioners can't get their
pay, the same expert bobs up and shows
how the general assembly has been extrava-
giant, and made appropriations without MAX
ing adequate provision for securing the rev
enue9 with which to meet them The memory
of the people is short-lived enough for the
experts to repeat the stunt every six months.

the woman suffrage propaganda makes most
interesting reading. Miss Rutherford is one

The amount of free dope in the guise of
news matter that is now being sent broad
cast over the land to the newspapers is
something remarkable. Not a day passes
that The News does not get from three to
dozen letters of this nature, all request
ing free publication and there is no more
news in them than can be found in the pith
of a corn cob. Some editors fall for the
game, but the majority know the difference
between space grating and legitimate news
matter.
