Conducted By Mrs. w. H. FELTON,
rely waiting for an opportunity

was merely waiting for an opportunity
to strike.
FORTY YEARS PREPARING.
For forty years-an entire genera
tion-she had been preparing for this
fight, while her enemies slept. She had
developed into a specimen of efficiency.
and l must say that America was
among the most inefficient nations. In
industrial enterprises, America has
proven that she is a leader, but the
great military resources of the country
lay undeveloped."
DR.. Scherer then explained that AFTER
his only son had enlisted in the United
States navy, he had offered his serV-
ices to the government in any capacity
they saw fit to use him. He was called
TO Washington and given the job OF
speaking In the south and lining up
the southern states to the duty OF the
great need of their cooperation In the
present policy of the government.
Though he did not specifically name
the details of how Georgia should CO.
operate with the national council or
defense, he urged the members of the
Joint committees to study closely the
statutes enacted by the neighoorlng'
southern states, and others OF the
union, and to model theirs accordingly.
The necessity for cooperation ana
is upon the women OF Geor-
gia. II we are prepared to do, when
called upon, the work will be more ef@
fective, because il will be uniform ana

our educational institutions. 1t is to
be hoped that this form of taxation.
which the late Walter B. Hill denounc-
ed as IAN Infamous window tax upon the
human mind" will soon be thing of
the past Certainly all men. must soon
see that no people-least of all the
southern people-caf afford to lay an
embargo upon enlightenment and tax ed
ucation; and those who have advocated
such taxation will be looked upon as
unaccountably blind obstructionists of
progress and civilization.
But men need not wait for this taxa.
ton to be abandoned before making
gifts to our colleges and universities.
Many new and better buildings are
needed by OUR educational institutions,
and educational buildings are not taxed
in any state of the Union. or IN any land
in the world. Let men and women, who
wish to promote higher education in
Georgia, make their gifts for the cree
tion of buildings and the purchase of
modern apparatus. Moreover, If Geor-
gia and Florida persist IN taxing endow-
ments, gifts for the endowment of par
ticular institutions can be made to edu-
cational boards and societies in other
States in which endowments are not
taxed. Funds for Negro colleges in
Georgia and Florida are thus held now,
and thereby escape taxation and the
same method may be used for the en-
dowment of white colleges. Why not?
If any one wishes to use money for
educational purposes, ways can be
found to preserve and protect such gifts
All parties may be assured of that.
But have many of our Southern men
the disposition to use their money for
the public good? Do they see the dan
ger of boarded wealth as Mr.. Wesley
pointed out? Do they perceive the vast
means of grace found in the. religious
use of money?
Well, if men and women will not
heed the words of such preachers as
John Wesley. perhaps they will listen
to what was said by a great merchant,
like the late Marshall Field.
Just before he died Mr.. Field said:
"A man should interest himself in public
affairs There is no happiness in mere
dollars After they are acquired, one
can use but a moderate amount. 1t IS
given man to eat so much, to wear so
much and to have 80 much shelter. and
more he can not use. When money has
supplied these, it's mission, so far as
the individual is concerned, is fulfilled.
and man must look further and higher
1t is only in wide public affairs. where
money is a moving force toward the
general welfare, that the poSSeSSOr or IL
can possibly find pleasure, and that only
in constantly doing more. The greatest
good a man can do is to cultivate him
self. develop his powers, in order that
he may be of greater service to human
ity"
In such use of money, as that which
Mr. Field commended, is found the hign-
est pleasure and the truest profit in
wealth All other use of earthly treas
ure is selfish and sinful.-and it is also
vanity and vexation of spirit"

Is THE LORDS HAND IN TIP


AS l lived through the Civil war, and
attended prayer meetings for the sue
cess Of the Confederacy, and also fast
ing days, and heard innumerable pulpit
discourses on the Lords promise to lead
the south to a glorious victory in the
end, L have been listening for call to
some religious meetings in 1917, where
the supplicants may rest their faith
upon the Lords promise to lead the
United States to glorious victory oven
the Germans. The kaiser entered this
field of promise" very early in the
struggle-and claims he has preempted
claim on the promises of God, with cer-
tainty of vfctory-with myself and
God!".
L believe the Lord reigns and will Iule
the destinies of nations-and L am not
figuring on an early or vain glorious VIC
tory across the water. 1t is going to
rest upon simple endurance, and L no.
tice that our pulpit speakers, contine
such religious activities to very broad
argument, that their young members
must go, and so wherever General Per-
shing leads them, because Mr.. Wilson
is in favor of war. There is a burning
question underlying all such religious
counsel and advice. If it Is the Lords
will we shall enter the deadly struggle
with Germany on the confines of France
and Belgium-and as the Lord answers
the prayers of the faithful" who have
prayed for every day guidance-in ad-
vising the youth of the United States to
enter this foreign war, then the
question of duty and obedience to the
Lords command is present with us. But
unless we are satisfied in our minds that
the Lord is directing in this tremendous
undertaking the time has come to place
duty and obligation on the higher plane
of the Lords work and the Lords war;,
l remember going to Macon, Ga,
prayer meeting in the late winter Of
1S64-5, held in Mulberry Street church.
We were on our knees more than an
hour-praying for the independence of
the Southern Confederacy. IF your
faith is strong God will hear your pray
err" said the preacher. And there were
widows there and Borrowing mothers
there, imploring the God of Battles to
lean down from Heaven to listen to the
snguished supplications of these suffer-
ing men and wome Inside of two
months the crash came The Confed-
eracy collapsed Ever since. I am
not satisfied as to what the Almighty
Father thinks of such blood and car
mage!

IN THE NORTHWEST.

-
On June 10 Senator Myers, represent
ing the state of Montana, made the fol-
lowing statement to the senate of the
United States:
The labor conditions of our country
in the west is very deplorable I read
in the newspapers that l. w. WIS are
openly threatening to burn all of the
ripened grain in the Dakotas threaten
Ing to burn all of the grain stacks, after
the grain may be harvested and stacked
In North Dakota.
THE newspapers report that north
ern Idaho is terrorized by lawless ele-
ments which have injected themselves
into the labor situation in that part of
the county, to the detriment of neces-
sary industry suspending all logging
operations Every sawmill in the north
west is closed down, completely para
lying the lumber industry, and the
mines and smelters OF two great mining
states Of the west are threatened with
being closed down in the near future
unless a change takes place in the labor
situation. l do not charge all of these
strikes and all of these labor troubles
to lawless clements am sure many
engaged in them have no unlawful OBJ
ject or intention-but l do believe that
much of the trouble was melted by law
less elements, controlled by people who
are hostile to the welfare of this coun-
try in the prosecution of the war In
which we are engaged, with a view to
Gripping our productivity and our facil-
tiles for successfully waging the war.
Indeed, some agitators in different parts
of the county are appealing to honest
workingmen to do nothing to aid their
country in the prosecution of the war,
and are so disloyal as to denounce the
part we are taking in the war"
The 81. w. w. WIS" stands for the
organizat ton which is known as the I'm
dependent Workers of the World" These
i. W. WIS were connected with labor diff
culties in a late riot in Colorado, and
mob gathered and shipped out large
number of these I. w. WIS by railroad
trains. They were also accused of being
connected with the late riot occurring in
East St Louis, melting a white mob
against the blacks. 1t is absolutely nee
essary to get at the truth of such con-
ditions as those presented by Senator
Myers as here reprinted. The northwest
is the granary of the United States. The
wheat harvest is nearly or quite ready
in the Dakotas. AS IL appears to me,
there Is a necessity for prompt dealing
with "grainburners." The closing down
of the sawmills in the northwest means
untold loss to the country at this time.
OF all the things which 1 dread the
most and from which there Is greatest
danger, and which will initiate most
against the harmony and security of the
people of this country, l place these
labor dissensions at the head of all dan
gers and risks. The grain crop of the
northwest should be protected.

SPECIFIC Fungus we imagine you are
troubled with what is known as the
loose smut OF wheat" which Is similar
to that of oat smut. 1t appears that
this fungus may gain access to the
plants at the time they are in flower.
Also. that 1T may remain in the soil
for a considerable period Of time, find its
way into the plant and grow up through
II. The fungus seems to be possessed
of great vitality. Some success In fight
ing this pest has been achieved by maxi
ing the seed for Ave hours in cold water
and then ten minutes in water at "a de-
grees centigrade. In your case we think
II would be a good idea TO destroy the
smut spores by burning up the straw
as you have suggested. If you pile this
wheat in the gullies to which you refer.
the spores will remain active for some
considerable time and the chances are
they will be scattered about by the wind
and also washed to the lower areas OF
your farm by the heavy rains we have
at certain seasons OF the year. The
smut spores will of course not affect
Bermuda adversely.
Smut In wheat is not due to any fault
IN the ground but possibly to the infes-
tation OF the seed you used at planting
time. The smut spores may have also
been in the soil. Treating the seed as
we have indicated would be of some ad-
vantage and we would advise you to
follow that practice next fall, If you
are troubled with what is known as the
loose smut OF wheat" you may treat
the seed by immersing them in thirty
gallons or water which contains one
pint OF formalin. After the seed has
been so immersed for about 10 minutes,
take out and DRAIN and spread out and
dry before planting.
