THE NATIONS PRAYER

(By Gilbert Holland)
God give US men! A time like this de.

Strong minds, great hearts, true
faith, and ready hands.
Men whom the lust Of Office does not
kill;
Men whom the spoils Of Office canno,
buy;
Men who possess opinion and . will
Men who have honor, and who will
not lie;
Men who can stand before q dema-
gogue
And scorn his treacherous utteriea
without winking.
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live
above the fog
In public duty and in private think
ing!

RESEEDING WINTERKILLED
OATS.

The extreme cold weather in the
Southern States during the first
two weeks in February caused much
winterkilling of fall-sown oats. The
yield from fali-aDwn oats, is so
much better than from spring-sown
oats, however, that it will not be
profitable to resow to spring oats
unless much more than half the
fall-sown oats were winterkillei,
according to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t is best
to delay reseeding a few days until
it can be determined definitely whe-
Their or not there is a sufficient
stand to justify leaving the crop to
mature. Fields where it is certain
that this crop was destroyed by cold
may now be sown to spring oats
with fair prospects for profitable
yields if the seeding is done in ear
ly March. Only the most fertile
land should be sown to oats in the
spring, as this crop will not yield
well from spring seeding on poor
land.
The best varieties to SOW at this
time are Burt, Fulghum, Red Rust
proof, and Appler. The land should
not be plowed, but the surface
should be lOoSened nv dicly;po ~
through narrowing and the seed
drilled in. If a grain drill is not
available the seed may be sown
broadcast and covered by disking
and narrowing. The best rate Of
seeding is about 8 bushels of good
seed to the acre.

MAKING M0ONSHINE A FELONY

Atlanta, Ca, March 2G.-Makers
of moonshine liquor in Georgia will
go to the chain gang without the
privilege of paying a fine, if the
which convened last Tuesday,
Marcn 90 enacts into law a bill to
be introduced by Representative N.
F. Culpepper, of Meriweather coun-
ty, making the manufacture of IL
quor in this state a felony, instead
of a misdemeanor as it is at the pres
ent time under the present prohi-
bition statutes
Representative Culpepper, one of
the foremost prohibition leaders in
the house, declares the illicit dis
tillery is the worst enemy of genu-
inc bone dry prohibition. Recent
ly the sheriff of the county adjoin-
ing him was killed from ambush
while raidng a "still." He pre-
diets that moonshiners will flood
the state with liquor unless the
penalty for making it is so severe
that they will quit the business.
Even if the Legislature enacts a
law prohibiting the shipment of any
liquor in any quantity into the
state, which is the purpose of the
extra session and which legislation
undoubtedly will pass, Representa-
Culpepper points out that the moon
sinners will continue to multiply,
as they have since the present dras-
tic laws were passed. Hence his
proposal to make the manufacture
of liquor a felony.

WATER BOARD VOTES TO
BORE SOME MORE WELLS

At the last meeting of the Board

where these wells will be bored will
have to be determined by engineers
that the board has employed to look
after the matter.

MISSIONARY PAGEANT
At METHODIST CHURCH

ALI missions became home mis-
sions wnen the beautiful missionary
Pageant was presented at the First
Methodist Church last Sunday
evening. After Appropriate music
by Mrs. Hodges at the organ assisted
by the choir and a scripture lesson
read by DR.. Smith, every heather
nation was represented by members
of the Woman's Missionary Socie-
ty, and a direct appeal made by ev-
cry nation to the Christian people
of America.
Forming a semi-circle in front of
the altar were the ones asking for
the Light of the gospel-Brazil,
China, Japan, Korea, Africa Meyi-
co, the mill girl, the mountain girl,
and the immigrant. These were
represented by Mrs. w. A. DuPre,
Mrs. Chas. Northcutt, Mrs r. C..
Anderson, Mrs. d. r. Little, Mrs.
L. c. Baldwin, Misses Lois Welsh,
and Clara Gilbert, while Mrs. Fred
Manget, with two of her beautiful
p daughters, formed the central fl
CURES, dressed in the Chinese Co.'S
tunes, brought with them last year
from China which added to the
reality of the direct appeal made
from that nation which her nus
band is so Loyalty serving.
All the costumes were beautiful
and unique, bringing our heather
sisters to our very doors, in fact as
in spirit.
Mrs. Parkinson was truly typica!
of the goddess of Liberty as she
stood back of the heather people,
elevated upon a platform bearing
our own beautiful flag 1.-The stars
and stripes" in one hand, the open
Bible in the other.
Mrs. Northcutt representing the
heather sang appealingly, Send
the Light.
America hears the cry and sends
the Christian People to give light
Ito every creature. Mrs. Mayes
Frey as a deaconess led the young
Peoples Society VINO, clothed in
white and bearing lighted tapers,
marched in and gave the light to
each heather and formed a line Just
back of the nations. Then came
the glad song from all people, the
Whole Wide World for Jesus.
This beautiful pageant was one
of the most impressive ever present
ed to the Marietta people, and made
each heart long for the day when
truly the Light should shine in ev-
cry nation, and every home in this
wide world.
Mrs. Lyon introduced Mrs. J. N.
McEachern, of Atlanta, who gave
an interesting and inspiring pre-
sentation of the Woman's Work in
both foreign and home missions for
the past 40 years. In her gracious
manner she told of the needs of
every heather nation and brought
the call home to our own cities.
mountains, mines, and people; and
told it so simply that the many chill
dren present could understand, and
determine to fill their little mite
boxes in the future-so strong that
every man and woman present was
inspired to renew his or her de-
termination to give of the "loavps
and fishes that God might bless
them and thus feed the multitude Of
six hundred million souls, who have
never tasted of the Bread of Life.
1t is well to have such services as
this to give every one an opportuni-
ty TO think of the needs of his
fellowman, and inspire that love
that shall give to the world the
Light and universal Peace.
Mrs. Trenary, of Atlanta former
ly of Marietta was present and con-
tributed largely to the success of
the service.

 IN CURIOUS WAY
{ Associated Press1

PARIS, Sept 10.-According to a telegram from Havre, where the Bel gian government is temporarily loca- ted, about 150 Belgians have succeed ed in crossing the frontier into Hol. land and freedom in curious man. ner.
 The German military authorities had decided to have certain trees cut down because they interfered with the view of the sentries placed along the barbed wire fencing and the cable which, charged with a strong electric current prevent persons from escap- ing from Belgian territory. One hun dred and fifty inhabitants of Selzaete were requisitioned and ordered to work at cutting down the trees.
 The improvised tree-cutters sue ceeded in doing their work in such a way that several trees fell across the barbed wire and the electrified cable, and made wide, safe opening. Then they proceeded to transfer themselves to Dutch territory, accompanied by their five German guardians, who had long grown tired of their duty and were only too pleased to desert, bag and baggage.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-Military experts here believe that a very definite peace offer will come from Germany before the wint- CT and the offer will suggest for immediate cessation of hostih- ties on a status quo basis. This move has been discussed for sev- eral days by statesmen who have fully indicated that the offer will be refused on such terms; and that Germany is aware of this, but Germans regard the status quo offer from the German side as an indispensable step for the preparation of German public opinion to further concession on the part of Germany. There is a strong belief that the offer of peace will be made shortly.

A BREAK OF RELATIONS WITHSWEDEN
 IS EXPECTED
Argentine Republic Really Angry With Ministers Double Dealing With
 Friendly Country
tspecial To Progressipe-Miner)

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 10.- Aregntine's greatest anger to- day is directed at Sweden rather than at Germany for the double dealings of the Swedish minister in using the friendship of the country to divulge information to an enemy. The government is seriously considering break ing diplomatic relations with Sweden and unless the Swedish government takes immediate ac- tion, parliament will be called to consider the matter.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 10- The United States government has no intention of breaking dip lomatic relations with Sweden in consequence of secret commufi- cations forwarded for Germany by Buenor Aires Swedish minis ter. While Sweden's explana- tion may alter Americas posit- ion, it was made officially clear today that the United States does not feel itself to be the in- jured party, and hence, that it cannot we'll break off with Swed- en; but that the Argentine re- public is the aggrieved govern ment.
