to the State of Illinois where mobs in the rather re-
cent past have dragged men to death without sem
blance of trial-men who really were innocent-and
sneeringly say, THAT is the way your American
makes the world safe for democracy. They point to
the State of Georgia. whose record of lynchings for
the half of the current year is, with one excep-
ton the largest in the Union and mockingly declare,
This is what your American means by the vindca-
ton of law and the protection of humanity" So
breaches the German propaganda throughout the
Central Empires, where trying to break the
grip of Kaiserism, throughout Russia whose conn
dence we are earnestly seeking; throughout the
neutral countries of Europe whose good will we
wish, and throughout Latin-America whose friend
ship is so essential to we-being. Every lynch
ing is fuel for Hohenzollern fire. Every mob, as
the President says, contributes to German lies
about the United States what her most gifted liars
cannot improve upon by way of calumny."
AS an urgent duty of patriotism, therefore,
righteous public sentiment in every State and every
community beneath the Stars and Stripes should
array itself aggressively and unswervingy against
the mob spirit in every form. Not to do would be
to emulate Prussian brutality and to betray Ameri
can ideals.

OUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

One of the German ambassadors on returning
home to Berlin, of course, in the ordinary way
came in contact with the kaiser. The ambassador
was relating his adventures of how he entered
certain place.
"I was mounted on the very smallest mule in
the world" said the ambassador
"Ah!" said the emperor, what amusing
sight to see the biggest mounted on the smaless
mule"
"I was your majesty's representative" was the
singing rejoinder
School children not always as attentive as
they should be- but Miss lilly Teechums class was
a wonder. There few things they did now
know.
Now, children" she said, what did man de-
scend from?"
The answer came like boomerang;
From a monkey"
Miss Teechum beamed, and singing out one
bright little fellow, she asked:
Tell me, Jimmy, what did the monkey descend
from?"
ing answer.
Speaking at a political gathering, Congressman
Fred A Britten, of Illinois, referred to the activity
of some people along conversational lines and
called the following anecdote:
went into pet store one day with the
announcement that she wished to buy parrot and
was shown several promising specimens by the pro-
prietor
81 like the looks of this one" said the pros
pective customer, designating a certain bird, but
are you quite sure that he is a talker?"
'Oh, yes, madam was the prompt assurance
of the proprietor; "he is talker, all right"
Some of them are very disappointing" con-
tinued the customer. will you guarantee him to

lady who last owned him sold him because she
couldn't get a word in edgewise."

YOUR VOICE
By H. Addington Bruce

by n. AQulllSlOH DluCC
y 1OU know by repeated experiences that GER
v tain voices are very disagreeable. You know
that some are positively firing. There are
people with whom you are reluctant to talk 1or
any length of time because the harshness, shrilli
ness, or monotony of their voices really fatigues
you.
On the opposite, there are people with whom it
is real pleasure to talk because they have uncom-
monty attractive voices You never feel fat1gued
after listening to such people. Rather, you feel
rested, perhaps appreciably strengthened.
Has it ever occurred to you that these people
possess in their voices valuable aid to the winning
of success whereas the people of unpleasant voice
are thereby seriously handicapped in doing bust
ness?
thought to the quality of your own voice, and the
possibility of correcting any defects you may nnd
in it?
Grenville Kleiser, one of the best known of
American elocutionists, enumerates in little vol
ume of Talks Talking long list of voice de-
fects His list of undesirable vocal qualities in
cludes:
Harshness sharpness, roughness, rightly,
throatiness thinness shrillness, nasaity d1scord-
ance, indisinctness exposveness, strain stridency
and tremulousness.
And as especially desirable qualities, he lists:
Purity depth, roundness, hexibility, resonance,
muscality clearness sympathy righteousness, full
ness, strength naturalness, mellowness magnetism,
expression, carrying power. and responsibility
Study these contrasting lists with reference to
your own voice. Note its good qualities, but also
note candidly its defects Ask some friend who
knows you intimately to give his honest opinion
of your voice. a means of enabling you to judge
it more impartially.
IT, on making this analysis you discover that
your voice is seriously faulty begin without delay
to try to improve it. For this purpose you may
find it necessary to go to good voice teacher, but
there are many ways in which you can help your
self to better vocazation
One of the most damaging conditions to the
voice is muscular rigidity in the throat and mouth.
To help overcome this, practise yawning, which
compels relaxation of the muscles of the throat
If resonance be lacking, practise hUmming the
letter m with the lips closed. Later gradually
open the lips, changing from the humming IN
to prolonged 'ah."
When the voice is weak practise uttering the
vowel sounds in various keys explosively and with
use of the abdominal muscles. Also read aloud
in decamatory style for at least ten minues every
day.
For thin voices the remedy is to give special at
tention to the development of deep tones. Mr.
Kleiser recommends this exercise:
Practise for few minutes daily upon the
vowel sound o., endeavoring to make it full, deep
and melodious. For all-round vocal development
this practice should be done with varied force and
infection, and on high as we'll as low keys of the
voice"
Mufied vocalization-a particularly disagree
able defect-results from failure to open the
mouth sufficiently when speaking. The remedy is
obvious.
And learn to speak slowly. People who speak

Our Food Savings and
What They Did

There is peculiarly gratifying circumstance
to the food economy which has enabled us to tide
our Allies over the leanest and most perilous
sons they have known: the saving voluntary.
The rank and file of the American people, once in
formed of the needs to be met, entered whoeheart-
eddy into the effort and effectually that the re-
suits overtopped the highest expectations. In the
course of a twelvemonth we have sent across some
three hundred and forty million bushels of cereal
food-an increase of nearly eighty-one millions over
the preceding year.-and upwards of three billion
pounds of meats and Fats. This accomplished
in spite of short wheat crop ard the virtual ex-
haustion of our wheat reserve. To have exported,
under those conditions, eighty-fvo million bushels
more of wheat than itwas supposed we could spare
speaks eloquently for Mr.. Hoover and mis- co-work-
the American spirit.
Had it not been FOR the expectations thus made
possible there is telling in what desperate straits
our own and our Allies cause might be. Last win
ter the British, French and Italian rations sank
distressngly low. The arrival of American aid In
sufficient amount to relieve conditions by the time
the terrific Hun offensive began in March is fact
of incalculabe importance. 1t is simple justice and
wisdom for us to the food needs of the brave
and sacrifcal peoples Joined with US in defense OF
our common freedom. 1t is none the less crafty
women particularly, measure up to their duty with
earnest and cheerful hearts. They have done ad-
mirabIy thus far, and they be counted upon
for the still important duties now before them
and in the crucial months ahead.

Knocking Ont the U-Boat.

The submarine iurries of last week have not
altered the outstanding truth that Prussian sea
Frightfulness is no longer an important factor in
the war OF what ultimate significance is U-boat
raid on few New England tugs or the sinking of
a home-bound transport compared with the convey
ing of more than million of soldiers to France
without the loss of single American troop ship
the eastward voyage?
The situation is tersely summed up by the San
dersyille Progress: ''Shps will continue to be sunk
so long as a U-boat can range the But the
main fact the essential and controlling fact, is this,
fine submarine cannot decide the war. Events
shaping themselves to demonstrate that in resort
ing to a campaign of maratime savagery in the hope
of getting a quick victory, the German high COM
mand committed a blunder that could be matched
onIv nv suicide The act not only forced the United
States into the war against Germany, but insured
this countrys restoration to the front rank of mara
time nations probably for all time"
This last mentioned fact is as important, in the
final ANALYSIS, as the defeat OF the U-boat. We
launched a hundred merchant ships the Fourth
of July and the time is not far distant when
shall be turning them forth as we now do automo
biIes Germany never dreamed or this development.
She started her raid on the worlds shipping neutral
and enemy alike, in the confident expectation that
upon the return of peace she would rush forth with
her own merchant fleet, snugly harbored during the
war and dominate traffic. She will find in
stead however that American and English tonnage
increases have turned her sordidly criminal scheme
wholly awry.
The U-boat has been completely successful in
veaIing the perfdy and barbarism of the Prussian
character; but otherwise il will be written down
ignominious failure.

Our Farm Club Boys

The Southern contingent of the boys farm
clubs produced foodstus last year to the value of
more than four million dollars That is i'm
pressive showing. but it is really the least impor
tant part of the boys achievement. The value of
the experience they gained and of the ideas they
put into practice cannot be reckoned in millions of
dollars; it is truly incalculabe. Today the
results of the boys farm clubs in many more
bushels of grain and many more pounds of
meat; but a decade hence we shall see those re-
suits in a re-created agricultural system and new
of rural life.
1t is a matter of record that since corn clubs
and pig clubs and kindred organizations were
formed among the farm lads OF the South our grain
crops have increased not only in the aggregate
but in the acreage yield WELL and our live stock
industries have grown at astonishing rate.
This is due largely to the enthusiasm and energy
with which the youthful farmers have put scientific
principles to the They have carried the teach
ings of the schools straight to the soil and have
demonstrated the immense advantage of mixing
ton to the country, though they add many millions
to immediate food values they go along.
There are approximately one hundred and six
teen thousand farm club boys in the South, and
of these Georgia has goodly portion. No State
has better reason than to be proud of its farm
club boys Builders of the Commonwealth, servers
of the Nation, they merit all the encouragement
which their parents and neighbors and their Gov
eminent as we'll give.
