A COMMON FACTORY HAND
NOW GOOD FOOD PRoDIIcrp

-Four years ago a garden-club how
IN Massachusetts, faced what would
have seemed even to an adult a hard
problem. Born in Italy, but thor
oughly inoculated with American
ideas of the necessity of education
James was told by his father Will
in the eighth grade that no LONGER
could he be kept in school. His fin
ture path was to lie toward the near
by factory.
Believing, because of his garden
club experience under the auspices
Of the local leader for the United
States Department of Agriculture.
that he could earn as much by potato
raising outside of school hours as he
could in factory by devoting his
whole time, he finally obtained per-
mission from his father to try it. So
successful was he that summer that
his father was willing he should en-
ter the ninth grade in the fall.
The next spring the superintendent
let him have land to use for large
garden. To 10 boys ne had selected
from the upper grammar grades he
made the proposition to pay so much
ali hour and to give each a garden
plot. The following excellent ad-
vice he offered to them in addition:
eff you are going to quit, quit now
while it is cool and not when it is
hot next August"
By fall he had decided that enough
could be earned in the summers to
enable him to attend high school and
the agricultural college later Now
a junior in high school, he has
good-sized dollhouse under lease,
where he raises cabbage, caulifower,
and tomato plants; he owns an auto
truck to handle his produce; has a
bank account and pays his bills by
check, and owns at least one Govern
ment bond.
With all the school and business
cares, he still has time to look after
the school welfare of his younger
brothers and sisters, visiting their
teachers and watching their progress.
A factory hand, probably only
mediocre one, has ben lost, but
good food producer has been gained
through the vision given James by
his boys agricultural club leader

''Der Tag" Never Came

Der Tag" to which the Germans have been drinking
toass and of which they have boosted for nearly fifty
years will never come
"Der Tag" is German FOR "The Day." and when they

Germany; America and her puny and navy was not

The Will to Do

The will to do is more than half the battle in many
undertakings and is the first most important part
of all successes.
The old saying where there is will, there is way"
is very generally the truth.
We had the will to win this war; and through our
president put every energy in land promptly and
wholly to work to that end.
Before had the will to win, the proposition to raise
loan of six billion dollars would have been laughed at

SUNDAY SCHOOL AFFAIRS

Splendid progress was made in the
work of the Georgia Sunday School
Association for the last six months,
according to a report submitted by
Mr. D. w. Sims, State. Superinten-
dent to the semi-annuaN meeting of
the State Executive Committee in
Atlanta, Tuesday, November 18th.
The financial statement indicated
that the Associations receipts for
the six months were considerably
more than what they had been for
the same period of any previous year.
The officers consider this a direct
result of the growing popularity and
appreciation of the work the organi-
cation is doing.
Many plans for new and advanced
work were adopted by the commit
tee. Among other things it was de-
cided to secure larger quarters for
the office. The Committee also voted
to request all county and division Of
ficers of county Sunday School asso-
ciations-about eleven hundred in
ALTO meet for County Officers
Conference" in Atlanta, Dec. 18th.
The time, place and program for
the next annual State Convention
was referred to the Central Commit
tee of the Association.
A unanimous call was extended Mr..
P. E. Green, of Birmingham, Ala, to
become superintendent of the Young
Peoples Division of the Georgia Sun
day School Association. 1t is under
stood Mr. Green has accepted the call
and will take up the work about
November goth. In discussing Mr..
Green's fitness for the work, Mr.. D..
w. Sims, the State Superintendent,
said, sit is doubtful if any man in
the South is as we'll qualified for this
particular task as Mr.. Green. He has
not only specialized in technical
way but has had eleven years exper-
fence as a field worker and superin-
tendent of Sunday School work Pres

Alabama"
In view of the splendid services
Prof. Floyd Field, of Atlanta, rem
dered this summer and fall on part
time, the committee voted to retain
him as part time field worker, it not
being possible to secure him on full
time.

GREAT coMMoNERs

Whatever else may be said of the
organization of the peace conference,
men of democratic origin will be IN
"the saddle"
The powers that guide whether
they actually sit as delegates at the
table or not will be Woodrow Wilson,
whom we all know to be the friend
Of the common people; Lloyd George,
the English Premier is well known
commoner, and the French Premier
Clemenceau, who is equally demo-
cratic in his craftsmanship
Wilson was once an unknown law
yer, Lloyd George an ordinary min
er's son, and Clemenceau an unsuc-
cessful doctor in the city of New
York for five years.
In the case of each the world did
not discover their ability until the
crisis came and there was need for
them.
Aside from all this the naval and
military leaders who will be advisers
in the conference, nearly all sprung
from poverty or very ordinary cir
cumstanes.
The world has no reason to fear
what these men will do when they
meet to do justice to all warning ma
tons of the earth, and to establish
rules for the future conduct of the
armies and navies
We can trust them to the limit
and whatever they do will be ratified
and enforced by the people.

 Poles who have escaped from Ger many and Poland or who have suc- ceeded in leaving America and other countries form the bulk of the Polish legion which may shed its blood to- morrow against German autocracy in the defense of liberty and the auton- omy of Poland.
 The chaplain of the regiment, fac ing the troops, gave them this oath:
 'I swear before God, before the Holy Trinity, that in allegiance to my country I am ready to give up my life to the last drop of blood in the service of the holy cause of Poland, to obey my chiefs and to remain true to Poland, one and indivisible''
 The Polish soldiers and officers cheered as they repeated the oath.

It emphasizes the desirability of a con- tinuous watch for the reason that other new stars found during the last three centuries underwent "cur- ious changes in brightness in the first few months after their discov- cry.

during the day fourteen aviators made
successful landings. Cadet E. d.
James, driving No. $500, on leaving
the field had the misfortune to turn
his machine over and broke the pro-
peller and rudder New parts were
phoned for from Souther station and
brought over in the afternoon when
Sergeant Hill made the repairs and
the party returned to their home sta
ton.
A large crowd witnessed the arrival
md departure of the planes during the
day, and the visitors were served
with ice cream and Coca-Cola. The
field is being put in better shape today

ruts smoothed down, accidents of the
nature of yesterdays will in the fu-
ture be avoided.
