BILL GIVES MONEY
FOR REHABILITATION

By unanimous vote yesterday. the
Senate passed the bill by Smith of
Georgia for the vocational rehabilita-
tion Of soldiers and sailors who may
be wounded or disabled in the war.
The sum of 100000 is appropriated
to carry on the work, which is to be
under the joint supervision Of the
Surgeon General Of the army, the De-
partment Of Labor and the Federal
Board for vocational education.
The plan proposed In the measure
Is to have the vocational training of
the men commenced while they are
convalescent in the hospitals, and
carried on after their discharge, until
they are fitted to assume occupations
which may make them self-support-
ing. The Department Of Labor is to
Cooperate through its employment
bureau to- find places for the men
suited to the occupations in which

No weddInr Ben. for John.


For two weeks, John Martin had
been whiting a pistol out Of piece
OF wood.
When It was finished. he bought a
can Of aluminium paint. and painted
the thing with 1t.
It looked like q sure-enoush pistol
from a distance.
At least, Ethel Adams thought SO,
when John poked 1t under her nose
and demanded that she marry him.
OF course. Ethel said yes. She would
rather be the wife Of brute than be
shot full II holes
Satisfied fer the time being. John
went on his way. He patted himself
on the back. .-.. ,-.
Ethel toIi her pa about the incident
Pa got mad all over.
He went after John, who. by the
way, was very much surprised.
He had told Ethel he would shoot
her, IL she breathed q word about him.
Pa Adams banged John In the Jaw,
loosening several teeth. He reached
his hand iE Johns pocket, and got
the wooden gun.
John recovered himself. and lugged
old man Adams out in the street. And
then the pair fought 1t out.
The court fined John so, and Pa
Adams s., beng easy on the old man,
because he had some justification.
Boys VIII BE Boys.
Three boys were playing ball on
vacant lot.
On this lot was q solitary tree.
nd sitting down beneath this tree,
fast asleep. was old man Ben Tim
mons.
The boys got tired OF playing ball
and turned their attention to Ben.
The Oldest OF the boys. Harry
Jenkins, suggested that they tie the
old man to the tree.
The bunch agreed. Harry ran
home, swiped his mothers clothes
line. and. with the help OF the other
two, tied old Ben fast to the tree.
When the sun got around and
shone in his face, Ben awoke. He
swore, when he discovered that he
was tied. He heard the boys laugh
ing.
Yelling to a man on a coal truck
! Ben got himself loose and made for
the boys.
He caught Harry. And then turn
ed him across his knee and did
what the boys mother should have
done long ago.
However. the old man should have
| not taken the law in his own hands
Even though Harry deserved a
thrashing, it was not Ben's priv
ilege to administer II.
The court after hning him S.
warned him to use other means to
punish the boys when they bothered
him.
Al and Bill Get Theirs-
The police have successfully re-
sorted to camouhage.
Two cops. and very smart ones at
! that, made themselves up to look
like travelling statesmen. which. by
the way. was extremely hard, when
you realize what a cop looks like.
They went into a Pennsylvania
avenue hotel And all of a sudden
they got sick"
Two employees of the hotel, Bill
Hayes and Al Johnson. came to the
rescue.
"Youse gemman looks pale round
de gilis," they sang out together.
"A rude snake bit u.s." chirped
the cops. "and there is only one
remedy that We know Of that will
cure US and that is whisky"
''Nuff said" remarked Bill and AL

then the sale was made.
The boys were dumfounded when
they found out that the very men
whom they tried to help turned on
them and arrested, them.
Oh, well, the cops have to be as
smart as the bootleggers, or else
they would never catch up with
them. :
There is no telling how many
other sick" travelling statesmen had
their SNAKE bites" cured in the
same way at the same place by the
same Al and Bill. ...
The court fined them each $500
and sent them to jail for sixty days.
A Married Bachelor.
"Jedge. suppoce yo wife made yo
wash dishes. en- sweep de floors. en-
mind de baby. while she gallivanted
around de streets. wouldn't dat
make yo mad?"
what has that got to do with
your ill-treating' your wife?" the
court asked George Rise, charged
with assaulting Phoebe. his wife.
No ansewp from Georgia He shut
up like a clam. However. Phoebe
didn't.
"Jedge." she started. when a
woman has to pay de rent, buy de
groceries. feed en- clothe her hus-
band. amt 1t right for her to do
as she pleases? Dat husband ov
mine amt no account"
This puts a different color on
things altogether. George wanted
the court to believe that he was q
model husband.
He had been brooding over the
fact that Phoebe was wearing the
trousers. His friends had been
kidding him about It.
And so he lit into Phoebe and
gave her a good thrashing. He
wasn't man enough to provide for
her. SO he beat her. to show her
that he was her husband.
This disgusted the court. And II
II hadn't been that Phoebe asked
the court not to send her house
keeper to Jail, he would have gone
there.
AS It was. a thirty-day sentence
was suspended.
Somebody Always Get Fresh.
Every time that a party is going

The other night on c street. Thom-
as Murphy was celebrating his wife,
birthday.
A bunch OF friends were present.
The piano was working and most
everyone was dancing.
Louis Acker couldn't find a dane
ing partner, and ne made a noise
like q wallflower.
Apparently without provocation, he
walked over to the piano player, and
banged her In the jaw.
Everyone stopped dancing. Louis
slouched over on a corner and sat
down.
Thomas came over and demanded
to know the reason for this act.
Louis told him to go where Il Il
very warm. And Thomas pulled ofi
his coat.
Stepping closer TO Louis. Thomas
drove one in his left eye.
The dancers spread out to give the
fighters room. They wanted to see
Louis get his.
He got II. and got it good. Thomas
landed one in his breadbasket, and
the fresh guy took the count.
Paying a SO fine didn't even faze
Thomas. He had avenged the piano

GUMPTlON, ~
Which is plain Common Sense, in United States
language without Educational Furbelows.
4 BT l.. II. TIOVERMALE.
= L. =

Within recent years some of
our educators have realized that
the essential first thing in the
education of the girl and the boy
is to to discover the natural in
clination of the mind and devel-
of the brain power along that
line. Some educator has said
that the education of the child
should begin with its grandfath-
er. People accepted this state
ment as true without thinking,
and it is in a measure true. But
if he had said the grandmother
he would have come nearer the
truth. Heredity has much to do
with the character of the child,
but it is prenatal influences that
controls the disposition and the
decided tendencies of the mind.
Medical authorities agree that
the state of mind of the mother
is transmitted to the mind of the
child. One noted case is where
the mother was compelled to per-
sonally superintend the building
Of their home, and her son, born
shortly afterward, developed into
a mechanical genius despite the
efforts of his parents to develop
him along professional lines.
Discovering the line of endeavor
for which the child is best adapt
ed and developing him along that
line is the only true education.
Let the child find himself.
There is no such thing as a
freak of nature. e" God don't
make mistakes. Natures laws
are memorable. For every Effect
there is a Cause. Genius may be
the result of accumulated heredi-
tary tendencies, from prenatal
influences, or from the careful
training of the mind. But lard
work accounts for most of the
phenomenal successes in life.
'Mediocrity is frequently the
unwillingness to develop a capa-
BILE mind, superinduced by mex
cusible laziness.
Moreover, Germany must be
destroyed.

Valuable Information Service by
American Red Cross.

Through the Red Cross Civil
ian Relief Department arrange
ments have been made by which
valuable information regarding
any question pertaining to the
allotment, allowance, compensa-
ton or insurance can be prompt
ly secured for the families of the
men in any branch of war SER
vice.
Most important is the fact that
information concerning men in
hospitals in France, or who may
be prisoners, can be secured more
promptly and more accurately
through the Red Cross mediums
than in any other way.
Families of men in the service
from Morgan county should COM
municate with L. Y. Redwine,
Chairman, or C, D. Arnett, Ex-
ecptiye Secretary of the Civilian
Relief Committee of the Morgan
County Chapter of the Red Cross
to gain desired information in
reference to any question pertain
ing to the War Risk Insurance
Act, or regarding the welfare of
men in camp in the United States
or in overseas service, or in re-
gard to any home problem where
aid or advice is needed.
Careful consideration will be
given every request.

WORDS are sc sometimes ',t,. con-,
w fusing. Or rather we are
sometimes confused in the mean
ing of words. After some start
ling invention is given to the
world. or some poem that moves
humanity is written, or a musical
production that thrills the soul is
composed, the old unthinking
world accepts it and contents
itself with saying that the inven-
tor, the poet or the composer is a
genius" and let's it go at that.
Most people regard genius as a
gift of Cod" or a miraculous
power of mind. Edison, who has
wrought out more revolutionary
mechanical inventions than any
OCnef man, says That genius is
6 per cent common sense and 81
per cent hard work. In proof of
that we find that all the noted
geniuses have been unremittant
workers. 1t is true that heredi-
ty plays a large part in the men,
tai make up of man. Good blood
shows as clearly in man as it
does in horses. From a long line
of clean-souled ancestry is bred
the man with an innate horror of
wrong doing. The progeny OF
habitual thinkers reason more eff
fectiyely that descendants of the
mental sluggard. Hard work
plus an active mind equals
genius.

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical.
IL Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens Hungry men cannot tight
at their BEST nor hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we iced them
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. 1t is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone can spare it to them. By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles And we
can do it without stintng ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of Pienty-Con is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need 1t has given corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn Five hundred million bushels and
above our regular needs. All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was ever patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Cornl 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived on it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered q
continent For a great section of our country it
has blong the staff of life. How well the South
fought it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Coml It isn't one food It's
dozen. It's cereal. It's vegetable. It's a bread
It's dessert. It's nutritious; more food value in it,
dollar for dollar. than meat or eggs or most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how good you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corns Infinite Variety-How much do you know about
corn2 About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways Of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it, Here are few
of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper lunch or break
