 There was no end of important hap penings at the annual meeting of the Interstate Association, the most inn portant being the abandonment of the subsidiary handicaps for 1918. In place of the Eastern, Western South ern and Pacific Coast Handicaps, the tournament committee was delegated to find ways of conducting q handicap event at each of the 46 State cham p<onship tournaments. The money that was given to the four subsidiary handicaps will be given the handicaps
 This move is a radical one, but it was the opinion that the subsidiary handicaps did not promote trapshoot- ing as it was thought they would and the association thought change was necessary-and thought this was the time to make the move.
 In connection with every one of the amateur state championships there will be a professional championship The professionals who reside in the state win be allowed to shoot along with the amateurs, and the professional who makes the highest score will be regarded as the professional champion of that state.

Did Not Pay to be Kind.

By a decision of the court of ap-
peals, a railroad will have to pay for
kind act that cost a l;fe. In Octo-
ber, 1911. Nicholas j Fagan boarded
a train "stupidly intoxicated" it is
alleged. At first the trainmen could
not learn where he was going. He
finally handed the conductor a ticket
to Carson. .Va,a little town just south
of Carson, Va. The express train was
not expected to stop there, but the
conductor, employed by the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad company. ac-
cepted the ticket. He and the por-
ter assisted Pagan to a plank at the
side of woodpile, about 149 feet
north of the station at Carson.
The following morning Pagan was
found little farther up the track
so terribly injured that he died later.
A train had run over him. Mrs
Margaret Pagan, as administrative
of his estate, brought suit in New
York State under a Virginia statute
| permitting her to do so. After pass
ing through several courts. decision
was handed down by the court of
appeals that the railroad had rig hit
to eject Pagan as a trespasser. but
having accepted him as passenger.
it was charged with due care for him
and was negligent in leaving him in
the dark, endangered by his condi-
tion and his situation.-New York

IDLE LANDS ARE EYE-sORES.
Food and Feed Crops First---Put Every
Acre on the Farm to Work.

Acre on the Farm to Work.
Idle acres, like idle folks, are up
to little good. This year, particu'
larly, every farmer in the South
should aim to get the utmost pos.
sible returns from every acre on the
farm. Let's see some of the ways
in which this may be done.
l. Drain the wet spots. There's
hardly farm but has wet spots that
are making nothing and are eye.
sores as we'll. A good ditch or g
line of tile through these spots will
not cost a great deal and will make
of them some of the best land on the
place. If they cannot be drained in
time for general crops, plant them
in sop beans in June or July.
Z. Kill the pasture pests. II Oul
pastures. 90 called, are to furnish
the best of clovers and grasses for
our stock, it is high time that the
robber weeds, bushes and briers be
dug out. To leave them to shade
the land and steal plant food is
sheer waste.
8. Follow all oats and wheat with
another crop. To leave stubble land
idle is another form of waste that
should be seen nowhere this season.
Cowpeas are excellent crops to use,
but if seed of these cannot be had,
plant corn or sorghum.
Let every man work every acre to
it's utmost capacity. - Pr0gress,re

Causes For Thanksgiving On Part OF
The United States.
If there is such a thing as luck, this
nation is the luckiest one on earth.
For a generation we have been as
unpreparcd for trouble as anew-born
babe. and DO powerful nation has at
tackled US.
And now that we have stirred up
q powerful enemy, that enemy is too
busy at home to give US great deal
of trouble.
Moreover, the enthusiasm for pre-
paredness occasioned by the existence
of an enemy bids fair to put the
country in shape to care for itself in
the future.
There is little prospect of serious
trouble with Germany. now or later
not now because she cannot get to
US; not in the near future. because
she will be bankrupt and whipped to
her knees before the Allies have fin.
ished with her.
There is no prospect whatever of
serious trouble with Mexico. because
that nation, for all its millions of pop
ulation, could not muster and equip
an army of formidable size. Its So
called government is worse than
bankrupt, and is existing on forced
loans secured from foreign banks
operating in Mexico. The soldiers of
Carranza and of the other chiefs who
owe no allegiance to him are little
paid and poorly equipped. There are
not one hundred pieces of artillery
in the entire republic, 'and the few
modern pieces have been abused and
overworked. Of small arms there is
q sufficient quantity to equip re-
spectacle army. but they are of many
makes, and in all of Mexico there are
not enough ammunition factories to
provide shells for one engagement.
Moreover, the people are destitute.
weakened, starving.
The little Jap on the western hori-
ION is the only one from whom we
may expect trouble in punches. and
from present indications we will have
an army and navy in condition to
handle Japan before the end of this
good year 1917. More than that, once
we have the army and navy. the pros
pect of trouble with Japan will disap-
pear for little nations do not court
trouble with big nations unless the
big fellows are asleep at the switch.
Two nice, wide oceans stand be-
tween us and attack by any nation
big enough to cause US uneasiness,
and now that we have got ourselves
excited about the subject of wal, we
will have our armor girded on and
our spurs sharp before any. nation
decides to cross one of those nice
oceans looking for trouble. - F6un-

THE WOMAN'S PART.
Noble Work of the Gentler Sex of Amer
ica in the World Conflict.

ica in the World Conflict.
Women play an enormous part in
every war. Nothing in America has
been more notable since this country
entered the great conflict than the
good sense. as we'll rs the unseltish
patriotism. that oar women have
shown in preparing TO do their part.
There has been, of course. some Of
the spectacular. notoriety-seeking
sort of patriotism that sets women
to posing for their pictures in the
act of aiming arevolver or Of crouch
ing behind machine gun in trench;
but that has appeared in negligible
quantity. TIE real women know the
seriousness of what they have to do.
and are going aboutit witha straight
forward common sense that no body
of men could surpass.
Take, for example. the war letter"
that the Massachusetts Woman Suf-
frage Association has issued to its
members. The suggestions in it are
as useful to women in other States
as to residents of Massachusetts. and
to those who oppose the franchise
for women as to those who favor it.
The keynote oft is organization. Do
not try to do alone what you can do
better through cooperation with 9TH
ers: and do not duplicate machinery.
Join some organization already in
existence, and work with it.
Do not seek the spectacular work.
like driving motor ambulance. A
few women of wealth and leisure can
attend to that. The important things
are enlarging the food supply. elm
mating waste and preserving the
public health.
The best way to enlarge the food
supply is to get advice from the
state agricultural experiment station
and from practical farmers.and then
to create the local machinery for
establishing supervised backyard
gardens, supervised boys and girls
gardens and supervised gardens in
vacant lots ploughed by the COM
munity. To make an individual
backyard garden does not require
any machinery-only will power and
work.
Eliminating waste falls naturally
under three heads: saving in food,
saving in clothes and saving in ma
terial. You can save food by study
ing the markets and buying chiefly
those things that are in season; by
purchasing only what you need and
not boarding; by efficient cooking;
by canning fruits and vegetables,
and by sending nothing to the gar
bage pail that can be made palatable
for the table.
In clothing, the chance to save is
almost wholly personal, and in large
part matter of temperament; but
proper economy in clothes will add
more to the sum available for WORTH
er uses than saving of any other
kind.
The saving in material touches
waste paper, old clothing, shoes,
rubber, bones, and all the other
things that make junkmen as class
so large in girth and so cheerful.
In the days of chivalry when
knights went forth to war the chate-
laine stayed at home and kept the
castle. Time has changed neither
the necessity nor the relative value
of the service; and. to paraphrase
Stevenson, here is room for all that
woman has of fortitude and deli
cacy.- YOUTHS Companion.
