It is years since the comfortable
house that Michael Kiley, owner Of a

Maurice Avenue, Elmhurst. began to
grow shabby. Kiley has been dead
twelve years, and there are compare
lively few even in that established
residential district who can tell you
when shabbiness overlook the house.
For months its condition has caused
neighbors to glance askance. Unpropped
porches, dangling shutters, crumbllng
chimneys and rag-stuffed windows pro-
claimed its sad estate.
Yesterday william H. Robinson, an
attorney. whose home is across the
street. took the matter to the police. lie
realized that the expressman's WIDOW
and her son could not be compelled to
furnish up the place, but nobody had
seen them around for weeks, and It
might be that they were sick or in dire

had seen the house lighted at night. On
still nights it doomed black. and in
storms it clattered and groaned scan

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A LIBERTY
BOND.

There are two reasons way there
should be Liberty Bond in every
home. Either of them offers a suffici
ent impulse fer the investment. The
reasons are, first, Patriotism, and, sec
ond, Thrift.
Patriotism is the expression of every
individuals obligation to the country
which protects him and gives him the
opportunity to develop his abilities and
gain the reward of his efforts.
Patriotism often finds ebullient and
even historical expression but reduc-
ed to real terms it is matter of the
obligation of each man and woman o
contribute his or her share for the
common good in return for the advant
ages gained from living in well ord
cred society.
This obligation naturally extends to
contributing for the common defence.
The contribution may be an outright
gift under a general assessment work
e2 out on some presumably equitable
basis. Such gifts take the form of tax
eo and voluntary contributions to mum
erous charities and war organizations.
The other obligation is to lend money
TO the government as an ordinary bus
mess matter.
Lending money under such circum
stances, considered in its relation to
individuals, is practical application
OF the thrift idea. 1t is as much a saw
Ing as money deposited in a savings
bank. 1t draws interest at three ana
cne-half per cent; it is a safe invest
ment if the government is stable II
the government is not stable then no
investment is safe and property rights
as well property values will vanish
as personal safety and the right to the
pursuit of happiness must disappear
also. There is no better investment
than government bonds. Investment
in them is the duty of those who can
not enter the army or the navy and is
the discharge Of a similar obligation
although it is not regarded as heroic.

How 10 Save Onions
T. n. Mediation, Professor Of Horti-
culture, State College of Aeri.

The great trouble that the Geor-
gia farmer has with onions is hold
ing them through the winter. The fol-
lowing methods of handling are rec
commended in order to save the onion
crop. The usual practice is not tc
harvest onions until the tops are
thoroughly dead. This, under our
conditions, is a mistake. AS soon as
the first few inches of the top begins
to yellow and die the onions should
be either plowed out with small
one-horse pillow, or one should go
through the field with a potato hook
or tine hoe and pull each onion over
on its side. In this way the top dies
down and dries out without making
a point of entry for water into the
onions where the top bends and
splits just above the bulb. after the
top has died and dried and the onion
has pretty well dried out it should be
removed from the field and spread in
a well ventilated, airy place Here
the curing is completed After this
the tops may be removed and the
onions put in racks or crates in a
storage room where they may be pro-
tected from freezing.
If the Georgia farmer can save the
onion crop this year. even the small
crop of home garden, it will mean a
great deal of food for use this winter.

both instances In the case Of cholera
the dread of the disease is an import
ant factor in keeping it out of the
country or in preventing its spread.
By strange contrast there is remark
able indifference to TYPHOID feevr. a
wholesome fear of typhoid would ma
terially assist the health authorities i'll
combating which may be considered
che of the major sanitary problems TO
the age. From the standpoint of pre-
yentive medicine, it is proper to re-
gard an outbreak of typhoid fever as
a reproach to the sanitation and pro-
gressiveness of the community In
which it was contracted"
There is but one cause for typhoid
fever-this is the typhoid germ (baci'-
lus typhosus) discovered by Ebertt
in 1880. In every case these germs
may be found in the intestines, where
they produce small ulcers. These III
GERS sometimes bleed and produce
hemorrhages.
A person must swallow the germs
to get typhoid The germs are found
only in one place, and that is in the
discharges of a person sick with ty-
phoid or in the DISCHARGES of certain
persons known as typhoid carriers. >"
The germans are found nowhere in
nature except in human sewage. If a
PERSON gets typhoid fever, it simply
means in nine cases out of ten, that
he has eaten or drunk something that
has been contaminated with human
sewerage containing typhoid germs
The tenth case is due to direct or in
direct contact with typhoid patient.
Much harm has resulted by insisting
that typhoid is not contagious disease
lit is both contagious and infectious.
The next article will deal with the
manner in which typhoid germs are
spread.

Increasing The Oil Content
OF Cotton Seed By Selection
L. G. Rast, Jr. Prof. Of Asrcnomy,
Ga. State College of Agriculture.

AS a result of four years work in
the Cotton Industry Laboratory of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture,
it was found that the oil content of
cotton seed is an inherent character
istic of the variety and that the per-
centage of oil in the seed of any va
riety can be increased by selection
with no corresponding loss of other
desirable qualities. There are slight
variations from year to year depend
ing upon the season, but these environ
mental factors influence all varieties
alike, and the seed of varieties that
were high in oil content the first year
have remained so during subsequent
seasons. In a general way, the varie-
ties with the highest proportion of
meats to hulls produce the most oil;
but there is no positive correlation be
tween percentage of meats and oil
content since the percentage of oil
in the meat varies with the variety.
The difference between the seed of
the highest and lowest oil yielding va
rieties for the three years was 10.4 gal
Ions per ton. This means that by
growing the superior sorts and elm
mating the inferior ones the aver
age value of cotton seed could be in
creased $500 to $1,000 per ton.
Our experiments have clearly
shown that there is no decrease in
yield of lint cotton as the oil con-
tent in the seed is increased: but on
the other hand. the strains showing
the greatest oil content in the seed
are the highest yielders of lint cot
ton per acre. Thus in addition to high
oil content, it seems the seed can be
made more valuable by reason of the
high yield of lint. With an annual
crush Of 100000 tons of seed in Geor-
gia, attention to this line of work will
result in the addition of at least $S,-
OO0.0 a year to the agricultural In
come of our state.
