Experience the Best Teacher

II is generally admitted that ex-
perience is the best teacher, but
should we not make use of the ex-
perience of others as we'll as our
own. The experience of thousand
persons is more to be depended on
than that of one individual. Many
thousands of persons have used

ed by most members for some time,
will be continued until further no.

SPECIAL RULING FOR
BENEFIT OF FARMERS

ATLANTA, Ga, May IA special
ruling made by DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule,
designed to meet farming conditions
ir Georgia, and which is applicable in
no other state in the union relieves a
question lately extensively raised by
Georgia farmers.
Under the flour regulations the per-
mitted quantity is six pounds per per-
son per month Compliance with that
raised the point with farmers whether
they could take a sufficient amount OF
homegrown wheat to mill for grind
ing at one time to carry their families
a longer period than one month, the
argument being made that to restrict
them to thirty days supply would
work a hardship.
The ruling holds that Georgia far
mers may. on the basis of six pounds
per person per month, have a sixty
days supply of wheat ground from
homegrown wheat. and have that
quantity of flour on hand at home az
orc time

THIS MORNING.

ATLANTA, Ga, May Congress
man William Schley Howard, repre-

today, for the purpose of comforting
with his friends concerning the adj
visibility of continuing in the race
or withdrawing and announcing him
self candidate for reelection TO the
National House
Although Mr. Howard has given
out statement in Washington affirm
ing his determination to run it out,
his closest friends here, where the
nucleus of his political strength is To-
Gated, are very much divided on the
question. They will support him
straight through if he runs, but they
feel that unless he has a reasonable
assurance of success he ought to play
safe" by going back to Congress,
which undoubtedly he could do without
opposition, or at least with compare
lively no difficulty if he should be OPP

Mr.. Howard to support Mr.. Harris,
have combined to make Mr. Howard's
friends feel rather uneasy about the
situation Figuring it out on the
well-known theory that "a bird in the

are inclined to think that Congress-

movement is a success. Subsequent
meetings are expected to bring out
an even larger attendance than thai
at todays gathering. The whole con
gregation joins in the common prapel
which is pronounced by the officiating
minister and repeated by his hearers
the prayer being one of intercessior
with God for Allied victory and thC
triumph of right over wrong. The
whole ceremony is most impressive
and every resident of Americas, espec-

DEPARTMENTS PLANS BEFORE

MORROW.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May l.
Secretary Baker will present the gov
ernment army expansion project to the
house military committee at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. The program prob
ably will be blanket affair, giving
the administration power to extend
the drawing of men as far as it
wishes.
1t is assumed Secretary Baker will
ask for an army of three million men,
but will seek the power to go beyond
that figure if found advisable. The
war department, it is announced, has
already practically decided upon the
expansion of existing camps and can
tonments in order to care for the add
ed army strength.
