MRS. GUERNSEY'S MESSAGE
10 AMERICAN WOMEN.

entitled "Woman's Share in the Ma

of the foremost women Of the United

Mabel Boardman, Mrs. Carrie Chapman

contribution was given a most prom

MUSIC TO HAVE
IMPORTANT PLACE.

The fact that thousands of our men
| ard women are giving their time ami
thought, and possibly their lives, in
this struggle for American rights, says
ltna Atlanta Constitution, makes it i'm
perative that those of us who are not
engaged in it should bend every effort
mot only to conserve and aid the mate
rial welfare of our nation, but to fGs-
ter the spiritual and artistic side.
Every organization must help. With
this in mind, the program committee
OF the Georgia Federation of Women's
clubs is planning to lay especial stress
tits year on the subject of music,
| At the biennial convention in New
York. our state chairman if music re.
ported that as an organization we
hoped to do more in the future. Georgia
did not report much progress at this
time. in this, the most cultural of all
the arts.
This is not trl.3 now. Many music
clubs have been federated, while al
most every club has music depart
ment. or at least music committee.
Frank Damrosch, if Director Insti-
ute of Musical Art, of New York,
says: Our chief attention should be
siyen to the spread of interest in and
love for good music among those
whose lack of special gifts usually
leaves them without any encourage
ment to obtain a better knowledge and
appreciation of music
How can this be done?
To discuss all these questions ana
others pertaining to the subject, the
committee plans to set apart an hour
or two during the federation in Au-
gusta for a conference led by our state
chairman of music, Mrs. Bailey, of Sa-
vannah, assisted by Mrs. Fl. c. Chafee,
OF the Augusta Woman's club.

Two years ago we took an order for
24Oo fourteen-inch armor-piercing shells
at a contract price Of $76S,0OO, TO be
delivered within a certain time or we
had to pay a large penalty.
The only specifications for making
these shells are that they shall be
Of a certain size and must pierce
armor-plate at certain velocity on Inn
pact. 1t is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions of the tests.
We had made large quantities OF shells
in the past which had been accepted.
But In placing this particular order the
Department altered the angle at which
the tested shells must pierce armor-
plate The result, however, has been
absolute inability on our part to pro-
duce In any quantity, shells which Will
meet these novel tests. In fact, we
know Of no process Of projectile-mak-
Ing through which It is possible to pro-
duce In quantities shells which will
conform to the requirements.
The result is that up to now on that
contract OF $76S, 900, we have put into
actual operating expense SAT $751;, and
have been penalized for non-delivery
$495,744, a total of $943,625.. with no
receipts whatever.

Watering Live Stock.

A mudhole or ditch which cannot be
reached without wading in mud is not
a suitable watering place for stock. An
animal which has TO travel some dis
lance to get water and then must wade
through mud belly deep to reach the
water is not going to get all the water
IL needs. It will pay in dollars and
cents to make 1t easy. comfortable and
convenient for the live stock to get all
the water they will take during the
winter

WATER FOR THE HOG HERD.
Especial Effort Should Be Made to Pro-
vide a Supply In Winter.

Hogs, I'm common with all animals,
require plenty Of good, pure water to
do their best. In winter there is always
danger that the hogs will not get water
enough, even on farms where water is
abundant. Water, which is so neces-
sary to the proper development Of the
hog, is about the cheapest thing that
can be provided. In summer it is u
much simpler matter to keep hogs sup
piled with water than It is in winter.
In winter water freezes up in the
troughs, and many automatic watering
devices freeze so they will not work. 1t
requires considerable ingenuity to de-
wise scheme for keeping fresh, pure
water before hogs in the winter, but 1t
can be done. Automatic watering de-
vices for winter use must have the float
and valve placed in a tank or barrel
that can be coverd with manure or
straw so that il cannot freeze and pre-
vent the float working. The pipe lead
ing to the fountain or vessel where the
hog drinks must also be protected from
freezing
Water is so important to the animal
body that a hog may be fed the best
kind of a balanced ration and still
make poor gains from lack of water
Water is one of thenecessitiest that have
not advanced in price, so this cannot be
given as an excuse for neglecting TO
make proper provision for supplying it
in abundance.

We bid on the new battle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts,
after examination OF our books, found
would yield a profit of less than ten
per cent. We agreed TO assume risks
for increased costs OF materials and Ia
Dor, that made 1t possible that these
contracts might yield no profit WHAT
ever.
The costs run beyond the amount APP
propriated by Congress on the basis OF
the cost estimates made a year ago.
And because shipbuilders could not
alter the memorable cost facts and re-
duce bids to early estimates of the
Navy Department, the prices are called
"exorbitant."
IL would be a real advantage to be
relieved OF this naval construction. The
profit from It cannot possibly amount
to much, and the responsibility is enor-
nous.
We have determined TO make this
offer to the American Government

Considerable comment has been made

manufacturers for sixteen and four

there will be any. There is no certain

that any bid made under such condi-
