On Detail to "Bone Dry" Georgia.

OAA D~soAs W A>OAs> DAs SO. 60
Rev. Jas. A. Christian, well
known to a large circle of friends
in Grant parish, and also in the
State at large as assistant super
intendent of the Louisiana Anti
Saloon League, writes us word
that he has been detailed by the
Anti Saloon League forces to
help "bone dry" Georgia. He
says Grant parish listens good to
him, and he expects to come
back here when he finishes the
job cut out for him in Georgia.
While at Atlanta, Ca, he makes
some observations as to "Busi-
ness Methods on the Farm" over
that way. and sends them to the
Chronicle TO print, if we think
they are worth while to our
readers" and we print them in
another column.
Almost anything Mr.. Christian
might send doubtless would prove
interesting to his friends in Lou
isiana, but we can assure him,
the fact that he has been chosen
as superintendent of the Georgia
Anti-Saloon League is quite in
teresting, and he has hundreds
of friends here that wish him
God speed in the important work
him.

Rotate the garden crops but
not the garden spot, is the good
advice given by Mrs. Jane S.
McKimmon. On too many farms
the garden is never in the .same
place more than two years in
succession; with the result that
the land is never made rio h
enough to grow really fine vege-
tables. Gardening is an inten-
sive form of agriculture, a form
requiring much hand labor in
proportion to acreage, and for
this reason the garden should
always be the richest spot on the
farm. Keep it in the same spot
with a good fence around it and
make it as rich as possible. The
Progressive Farmer.

MISCHA ELMAN GIVES
A BRILLIANT RECITAL

Mischa Elman, the young violinist, gave
his only recital in Washington this sea-

afternoon. His exquisite tone, his purity
of intonation, and his technical skill
called forth unusual demonstrations.
After the end of the program he was re-
called again and again. The program,
which follows. gave Mr.. Elman an op-
portunity to demonstrate his ability not
only as an artist, but an interpreter:

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline, but do not compel"
Wednesday, January 81, 1917.

Astrologer read this as an unimpor-
tant day in planetary direction. Saturn
and Neptune are in benefic aspect.
Mines and mining should be prominently
in the public mind during the next few
weeks. On this day whatever concerns
minerals should be lucky.
Farmers have a good direction during
this conhguratiOn. but they may expect
heavy losses from storms and foods early
in the spring. This applies to the Far
West as well as to the East.
In the Rocky Mountain regions there
may be some financial or business de-
preston. but the general outlook for
the development of resources Is uncom-
monty encouraging.
Some sort OF religious agitation may
arouse the citizens of a trans Mississippi
State, but It will not have serious re-
suits at this time.
This should be a favorable day for
commercial transactions and for journeys
on the water.
Under this government of Neptune the
use of oils and unguents is likely to in
crease greatly.
Next month Is likely to bring many
appeals from the poor of the United
States as the planets foreshadow disas-
ters, destruction of property and sudden
misfortunes of various sorts.
teDruary mas sway presaBlnS loE
England a surprise for the navy, heavy
losses to the army and hard fighting.
Reforms will multiply in the United
States during the coming months. Con-
gressmen and members of the legisla-
ture will receive many embarrassing de-
mands for aid in promoting radical meas
ures.
Danger and probably death is indicated
for an actress. Mortality among the gift
ed of both sexes will increase. owing to
the evil sway of the stars.
Changes in the Presidents Cabinet again
are foreshadowed by the planets and sur
prises are foretold.
Persons whose birthdate it is have the
augury of a fortunate year. Both bus!-
ness and home affairs will be satisfac-
tory.
Children born on this day will be clever
and talented. These subjects of Aquarius
may have to work hard to make money.

New York, Day by Day
BY o. o. MCINTYRE.

SPECIAL Correspondent Of The Washington Heald
New York, Jan. SO.-The girls who
sell the flowers to those who really do
not want to buy them, in the cafes
and dansants, are in danger of losing
their jobs. The flower girls are al
ways very pretty, but they are just as
much of a nuisance as the hat-check-
ing pirates, the whisk-broom vultures,
and the young Greeks who sell pista-
chic nuts.
One prominent downtown cafe has
dismissed all of its flower girls. The
manager discovered that by annoying
guests for the purchase of flowers. the
cafe was losing good patronage. That
was enough for him
If a man has q fair companion din
ing and the flower girl comes around
and the companion shows an inclina-
tion to want a bouquet, the man is
stung. For the flower girl will charge
about five times the usual price, and
rather than be humiliated the guest
pays the price.
The cigarette and cigar girl is oon-
sidered a necessity. but in several
places they are not allowed to go from
asks the waiter for a smoke are they
allowed to go to the table. Even then
the system is gouge, for the Gus
toner is supposed to tip the girl
Since the abolishment of hat tipping
at the Hotel Majestic, 1t is said that
several other large hotels are not to
renew their hat-checking leases for the
coming year. People in New York were
slow to anger about the tipping evil,
but it is gradually getting on a sane
basis. Most men refuse to tip the
waiter more than 10 per cent of the
amount of the check. 1t seems to be
a sort of gentlemen's agreement that
has become a hard sand fast rule.
Everybody likes it except the waiter.

Tom Thorpe, the former Columbia
University football star. is at present
on the STAFF of a local evening paper.
Not long ago a group of Park Row
scribes went with Thorpe to cafe.
Tom went out to wash his hands.
His friends told the bartender that
the fellow who went to the washroom
was Big Jim Thorpe, the Indian ath-
lete. and 1t was a penitentiary offense
to sell liquor to an Indian in the
United States.
When Thorpe came back he asked
for a glass of beer. The bartender
gave him a cigar. When the scribes
left Thorpe had the bartender backed
up in a corner with one hand on his
throat, but the barkeep was still hold
