CHINESE COOLIES TO SOLVE
SOUTHERN LABOR
PROBLEMS2

Atlanta, Ga, July 26-Chinese
coolie labor may replace the negro to
some extent in the South, if the drain
OF negro migration to the north,
coupled with the taking OF negroes
in the selective service, causes any
considerable labor shortage in addi-
ton to that which now prvails, is
the opinion of number of Atlanta
men who have made a close study of
the situation.
Up to this time there has been very
little Chinese or Japanese labor in this
country, owing to the stringent immi-
grafton laws, but it has been suggest
ed that the federal government may
consider it necessary and advisable to
relax the laws somewhat in case of a
serious labor shortage.
1t is estimated that 100000 negroes
have left the South in the last eighteen
months for northern industrial CEN
tiers, where they have been promised
high wages and social privileges which
they do not enjoy in the South.

NOT ALL U. S. SOLDIERS
BLOW IN" THEIR MONEY

Atlanta, Ga, July 26-The idea held
by many people that the private SOL
der in the army, taking him on the
average, is a poor spendehrift who
gets rid Of his money on pay day
and then stays broke until the ghost
walks again, would seem to be dis
proved by some investigation of the
financial status of number of men
in various branches of the service in
Atlanta, who have worn the uniform
long enough to be considered soldiers
and not raw recruits.
The investigation discloses the in
teresting fact that most of the men
who have gone into the army are care
full with their money, spending a part
OF 1t on pleasures but saving another
part for the savings account. Quite
an appreciable number of the enemy
taken as whole, have savings ac-
counts of $1,000 or more.

CUTTING THE ROSES.
How to Remove the Flowers Without
Iniurina the Plants,

How to Remove the Flowers Without
injurino the Plants.
There is right as we'll as a wrong
way to cut roses. If not cut cor
rectly the blossom producing proper
ties OF the plants may be seriously In
jured. This applies particularly, of
course, to rose plants chosen and
grown especially to supply cut flowers.
Such roses will be largely Of the per-
petual blooming sorts.
When a rose Is cut from such plant
only two or three eyes Of the current
seasons growth Of that branch should
be left on the plant. This should give
the roses very long stems. Succeeding
blossoms should be cut to the ground.
1t will seem like destroying the bush
to take so much off. but If the object
Is the production of roses the cutting
away of the surplus wood will simply
further the desired end.
If the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
to have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers. In such a case
only one or two strong leaf buds
should be left on the branch when the
flower is cut, so as to stimulate as
much growth as possible from the base
Of the plant.
The temptation Is great to leave
wood where there are two or more
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one Is open. This
bad practice can be avoided by pinch
ing Off all side shoots after a bud has
formed on the end Of branch, thus
leaving the stem perfectly clean and

While some officials believe the presi-

sure there are no more controversies,
others are of the opinion he may ask
him to remain because of his know
ledge of traffic matters and his ex-
perience as rate expert.
Neither Mr. Denman nor Gen. Goe-

Social Importance Of tie Position Ia
the Home.
The center OF hospitality in the home
is that point about which the family
itself gathers most often. This point
is In most homes the fireplace; hence
its location and construction are Of
vast Importance in building a home.
The fireplace, it there Is only one,
should be in the living room, for there
the family and friends can enjoy it
most. 1t should be located in the CEN
ter Of wall space, either on one side
or at one end of the room. Select the
space which will permit the greatest
number of people to sit around it.
In the construction Of the fireplace
you must not forget that its chief pur-
pose Is for fire. The more simple the
lines of construction the better taste is
displayed and the more room the open
FIRE receives.
There is Il great variety of material
suitable for a fireplace, and your indi-
vlduality and taste can be we'll ex-
pressed in this important factor of the
home. Brick. tile, wood and many tile
substitutes may be used These offer
great possibilities both for good color
and design and lend themselves to any
style Of architecture.-Farm and Fire

YES! LIFT A CORN,

Cincinnati Authority Tells How to

Lifts OFF With Fingers

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause few drops of freezone applied
directly on a tender, aching corn or
callus, stops soreness at once and
soon the corn or hardened callus
loosens SO it can be lifted out. root
and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will pos
itively take off every hard or soft
corn or !callus., This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get a small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
