THE JOE BROWN FUND HAS HELPED
MORE THAN l 1000 YOUNG MEN

From University of Georgia Item.
In 1888 Senator Joseph E. Brown gave to
the University of Georgia fifty thousand
dollars as memorial to his son, Charles Nc
Donald Brown, a student in the university
who had just died. The income from this
fund was to be used in loans to worthy
young men seeking an education at the Uni
yersity, at the North Georgia Agricultural
College at Dahlsnega or at the Georgia Medi-
cal College in Augusta. AS the money is
corpus of the fund and only the interest on
1t is used again.
The fund has helped more than one thou
sand young men get an education and to-
gether with the repayments of loans and in
ttereSt thereon 1t now amounts to nearly two
hundred thousand dollars, of which nearly
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars is
invested IN Georgia bonds and the remainder
is IN student notes that are paid back at the
rate of about four thousand dollars per an
mum Inc fund now helps forty-eight young
men in Athens, two at Augusta and sixteen
at Dahlonega.

Merely a Beginning
From the Savannah Press.

The Moultrie Observer wants to know if
the "day of Investigation in South Geor-
gia" has not already arrived. In fact, the
Observer is convinced that it has arrived
and recalls numerous items of news reflect
ing the trend of the times in this great ag-
ricultural section. A portion of the OBJ
servers comment follows:
We can hardly pick up newspaper
printed in Georgia now that we do not
read some item about the sale of live
stock or the shipping of grain.
There IS big peanut story in one,
velvet bean story in another, a hay
story and a syrup story, etc.
Every little town has it's mill getting
ready to prepare ground feed from oats,
peavine hay, peanut bread, velvet beans,
corn, etc. Dawson, cambridge, Triton,
Valdosta, Cordele, Fitzgerald and prac-
tlcally every South Georgia town has it's
own story of big shipments of cows,
hogs corn, peanuts and velvet beans.
The diversified era is here, and if the
rate OF increase is kept up for two more
years the cotton crop will be secondary
boil weevil or no boil weevil.
eff the rate of increase is kept up''-that
IS a significant clause. The day of diversi-
tication has arrived only in the sense that it
has begun to dawn. The whole day is ahead.
The newspapers, because they are earnestly
deSlfouS OF promoting the movement for di-
versity of crops, are overlooking no oppor-
tunity to cite instances of Individual prog
ress. Happily, these are becoming more
numerous. 1t should not be forgotten, how,
ever, that for every farmer and enterprising
business man or banker who has figured in
these heartenlng cases there are MANY who
have not yet lifted themselves out Of the
ancient rut. The men who are going for
ward are pioneering. 1t is a fine thing to
keep their work before the public, but ii
should not be hastily assumed that the fight
is won. On the other hand, there is every
reason to believe that it will be won, for
the drift toward the new farming is unmis-
taxable.

Poem to Miss Chedthaf1p

In web that you wove for the Master,
By love, tender and true,
Our hearts have been entangled,
Hence these lines to you.
II you're ever going to love us,
Love us now while we can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
Which from real affection flow.
Love us now while we are living,
DO not wait till we are gone,
And chisel it in marble,
Warm love words on ice-cold stone.
If you have sweet thoughts about us
Why not whisper them-frOm theei
Don't you know 'twould make us happy.
And as glad as glad can be.
II you wait till we are sleeping,
Meier to waken here again,
IhereIl be walls of earth between us,
And we could not hear you then.
If you knew some one was thirsting
For drop of water, sweet,
Would you be so slow to bring it?
Would you step with laggard feet?
There are tender hearts that are near you,
That are thirsting for your love,
Why withhold from them what nature
Makes them crave all else above?
We won't need your kind caresses,
49, When the grass grows DER our face,
We won't crave your love or kisses
In our last low resting place.
So, then if you love us any,
II it's just little bit;
Let US know it now while living
We can own and treasure it.

Our esteemed neighbor, the Albany Her
aid, admonishes those farmers who contem-
plate increasing their cotton acreage, on the
idea that the severe cold killed all the boil
weevils, not to rely too much on the opinion
Of the experts who have been quoted. Good
advice. All the weevils have not been killed
by any means, and the farmer who pitches
his crop with that idea will take long and a
losing chance.

CONSIDER THE COW.

From the Lavonia Times.
The time is coming in the near future
when the fellow with fat cow to sell will
be regarded as a public benefactor. The
cow IS becoming a scarce article of merchan-
disc in the country. The number of heads
of cattle in the United States has decreased
six millions within the last few years, while
the population of our country has increased
by millions.

By the close vote of 81 to 80 the senate
defeated resolution passed by the lower
house OF congress to increase newspaper
postage from one cent to two and half
cents a pound. The newspapers had friend
in Senator Smith, who opposed it. It would
have meant an additional burden of five or
SIX million dollars year on the newspapers
of the country

Wasting Space.

Our idea of conspicuous waste of
both space and paper is the appearance
OF long winded articles by Mrs FELTON,
and Joe Brown, which occasionally show
up in some of the state newspapers
Dalton Citizen
There are not many who will agree with
our able and usually conservative Dalton
contemporary. Rather, they consider such
paragraphs as the above worse than waste
Of space. Extreme prejudice has led our
good friend of the Citizen into the ugly and
undlgnitied habit of nagging distinguished
Georgian who has more than once been hon
ored by the people of the state with the high
est office in their gift. The former governor
IS a ripe scholar, profound thinker, an able
writer-a man who is never afraid to ex-
press his honest convictions, a virtue that is
none too common in this day of demagogv
and political side-stepping-an his articles
are read with interest by the public, regard
less of whether the reader has been a politi-
cal supporter or agrees with the views ex-
pressed.

A TAX THAT'S WRONG.

From the Greensboro Herald-Journal.
The question of the right of a city coun-
Gil to levy or collect any license is one that
has been discussed for many years. The
city or town that can get along without
such taxes is always better off than the one
which levies tribute upon everything and
everybody that does business within its Dor
ders.

In Cincinnati ninety-nine men have been
indicted for selling their votes, and twenty

fraud and depravity of that nature.

LIBERTY MOTORS
BEING MADE ON
QUANTITY BASIS
tBy Associated Press.l

Washington, Dec. 0.-Production
Of Liberty airplane motors on a
quantity basis actually has begun,
American army aviators are in train
ing on the lighting lines in Europe,
and the nation is within sight of
realization of the great air fleet pro-
tect mapped out since the United
States entered the war.
Figures cannot be published, but
IL became known today that mem
beers OF the air board are satisfied
that another so days will see men
and machines being turned out at a
rate that insures the ultimate sue
cess Of their plans.
The first machine-nade Liberty
motor was completed on Thanksgiv-
ing day and a substantial number Of
the machines will be delivered this
month. The machine-made product
has functioned under test as salts
factorily as the handmade motors
first constructed and no important
defect in design has been revealed.
Other plants will begin delivery Of
machine-made motors within a few
weeks, One will have a capacity of
several thousand completed motors
Meanwhile training of aviators,
observers and thousands of
mechanics needed to keep the fiiers
in the air, is moving forward
steadily.
1t is no secret that more than 1000
candidates for the coveted rank for
junior military aviator have already
been sent overseas. Probably the
number at bork abroad is far in ex-
cess Of that figure. They are train
inn in every allied country that
specializes in aviation and reports
from France, England ana Italy have
noted their presence.

UNION LABOR CALLS
OFF MASS MEETING
Traction Dispute May Be Acted Up
on Soon BY The Federal
Authorities,

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 10.-The mass
meeting OF twin city union labor
members to be held in Minneapolis
tomorrow in connection with the
street car mems controversy has been
called of due. IT is said, TO pros
poets that the traction case would be
acted upon soon by federal officials
in Washington. Announcement OF
the cancellation Of the meeting was
made here by George Granville, act
ing president OF the St. Paul trades
and labor assembly. The meeting
which nearly all members Of all local
unions were expected to attend,
might have been turned into a gen.
eral strike through making its ses"
sions continuous.
Mr.. Granville refused to give the
reason for the cancellation and the
formal announcement said only that
'inasmuch as the government OF the
state of Minnesota continues to defy
the United States department of war,
upon requests from official sources
the convention called for tomorrow
is hereby postponed until further
notice"

Mr.. johnson gives seven Williston
men, three Fargo men and one James
town man places on his team. In a
letter to The Fargo Forum, he says:
II have picked what believe to be
the best all-state team of the state
high schools for 1917. My reasons for
placing Ryan, quarter, of Fargo. at
end, is that he is a wonderful field
runner, and a sure tackle. Gordon, Of
Williston, handles the team in college
style at quarter. Kaiser, of James
town, Is easily the star at left tackle,
and KeItner, of Willistons-at right
tackle. Anderson, of Fargo, is a ter
ror on defense at right guard, as is
Boyd, OF Williston, at left guard.
left end, being fast and always under
Scott's long passes. Harvey, of Will
liston, cannot be beaten at center. F.
CLANCY, Of Fargo, makes a dandy
fullback, but Scott is given the place
on his ability to throw forward pass
Altogether, think they are with
out a doubt the best in the state, and
any man would star on any college
eleven"

Sporting NeUs
TDo Eligible
For Gap" OF
Aggie ToSSers

With the election of a captain for
the 191T-IS basketball team at the
North Dakota Agricultural college in
near prospect, q survey has revealed
the fact that only two men are eligi-
BILE for the position, and are qualified
to vote for captain, II was announced
today.
The two men are Hayes and Held
ner, the only letter men Of 1851
now on the squad,
If Hayes votes for Heidner, and
Heidner votes for Hayes there will be
a deadlock. Members Of the squad
have declared that they will have TO
fix 1t up SO that one of the men throws
aside his modesty, and votes for him
self for captain.
Dutch" Hauser, star center on last
years quint, was elected captain for
1917-1S, but he is now in government
service.
Twenty-Five men are trying for po-
sitions on the quint this year, and
practice is the order each afternoon
and evening. Coach Paul j. Davis,
with his usual reticence, has declined
to comment on prospects for team.

GARRY Will

PIN BUSTERS
Greatest Congress of Time
is Promised at Gin
{ cinnati

The FIRST guns were. fred in the
campaign for entries to the eighteenth
annual international tournament OF
the American Bowling congress, at q
meeting held in Cincinnati on Nov. %
and rs, when August Hermann, of
baseball fame, was elected chairman
of the tournament committee of tho
Cincinnati Bowling association to
work in conjunction with the Ameri-
. can Bowling congress in staging their
annual tournament in the queen city
during February and March of 1918.
Mr.. Hermann was elected president
of the congress exactly one decade
ago at st. Louis, and at that meeting
promised the bowlers the greatest
tournament ever held would be staged
at Cincinnati in 1908. Every old-time
bowler will agree that he made good
his promise, and the bowlers have
been asking from year to year, when
would they get back to Cincinnati,
This year the Cincinnati Bowling as
ISOLATION, which is a subsidiary of the
American Bowling congress, was
knew il il could induce Mr.. Herr
mann to enter the game again and
work with 1T, 1t could make the
tournament great success.
After the baseball season was over
he listened to the bowlers' pleas anu
consented to take a hold with the un-
derstanding that the 1918 tournament
was to be bigger and better tourna-
ment than the 1908 show, which was
talked Of and attended by bowlers
from New York to Vancouver, and has
been known for ten years as "the
tournament Of no regrets.
The entertainment features offered
ten years ago were unique and catch
ing, as the old timers will remember,
and this year Mr.. Hermann promises
TO go the first show one better, am
when Garry starts out to do enter
tanning, the bowlers will take notice
that something big is coming Off.
Posters and entry blanks win flood
the country within the next ten days,
and will be followed by bulletins and
general information from Cincinnati.
The big cities are ready to support
the tournament and Chicago already
has over eighty teams entered with
other cities following eagerly with
entries. AS a matter Of fact, all the
Saturday and Sunday dates are now
filled, but this will make little differ
ence TO bowlers who wish to attend a
national tournament
It is estimated that the entry will
be close to 700 teams, while ten years
ago at Cincinnati the tournament
drew $50, and was considered "a record
breaker.

WAREHOUSE DESTROYED
BY MYSTERIOUS FIRE
Two Men Arrested Following Blaze
Which Destroys Government
Medical Supplies.
(By Associated Press

Chicago. Dec. 10.--A warehouse
recently leased by the government
for the medical division of the army
was destroyed by fire Of mysterious
origin. Chemicals. among the stores
caused a number OF small explosions.
The flames burned so fiercely that
only the tottering walls Of the Ave-
story structure were standing when
firemen arrived. The building stood
at South Dearborn avenue and West
Fortieth street. Major w. s. Shields
and thirty FIVE employees fed from the
danes. Major Shields said he had no
comment to make on suspicious Of
firemen that incendiaries started the
fire.
Two men acting suspiciously near
the ruin were arrested by federal
operatives. The fire loss was esti-
mated at 100000.

MORE STRENGTH
TO CORN PRICES

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Corn prices de-
veloped some strength today as a re-
suit of cold weather which seemed
likely TO retard the movement Of the
crop. The severe fall in temperature
was said to be against efficient oper-
alton of the railroads and also to be
hampering the transfer of grain from
farms to country elevators. Buying
here, however, was not of an agrees
siVe character. Opening prices, which
ranged from the same as Saturdays
finish to sc higher, with January
$1.2OA to $l.20s and May $1.1s1k to
$1.1S%, were followed by moderate
gains all around. ....
Oats hardened with corn. The de-
mand was chiefly from scattered
shorts.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted
provisions. Besides, shipments of
meats showed considerable increase.
Later, the market underwent some
thing of a setback owing to prospects
that the embargo on shipments to the
east would lead in the near future to
a rapid accumulation Of stocks here.
The rclose was unsettled, January
S1.20% TO Sl,20% and May S1.19, with
the market as whole Ne lower to
sc advance, compared with Satur-
days finish.

EVERY STUDENT MUST
TAKE ATHLETIC WORK IN
DER PROPOSED SYSTEM.
az Aesoclated Prege.l

East lansing. Mich, Dec. lU.-Ches-
ter L Brewer, director OF athletics at
the Michigan Agricultural college, has
decided TO reorganize the athletic sys-
tenn. His new plan provides that every
male student must take athletic work.
brewer agrees with certain leading
athletic directors who have declared
that the old system OF training few
athletes and leaving the great major
ity of male students to shift for them
selves. Is radically wrong. Brewer
nlans TO organize his athletic classes
on 3 military basis. Incidentally, he
hopes to develop many finds" for
baseball, track, basketball and foot
ball
