OVER THE RAILS

Over the rails, over the rails,
Work that's hard and in long de-
tails;
Pound along the chemin de fer,
Cold and rain can never deter,
In open cab and cupalo
Watching for posts and bridges
low;
Murderous couplers taking toll,
Adding names to the honor roll
Hold your train till gray turns
your hair,
Waiting orders from chefs de care
Doing the work that never fails,
Over the rails, over the rails.
Eating carrots and rutabegs,
Wait till you're home for the ham
and eggs)
Seventy hours without relief,
Living on bread and bully beef;
Doing it all with easy grace,
Of railroad men with smiling face.
Hauling the stuff from ports afar
Up to front where your comrades
are;
Whipping the Huns with U. S. A.
Marked on the cars with the right
of way.
Doing your bit till Germany fails.
Over the rails, over the rails.
These are the men they couldn't
scare,
Gathered from railroads every
where.
New York Central and Southern P
Pennsylvania; D. R. G.;
Union Pacific, Santa Fe;
Great Northwestern and Mo. p;
Even Alaska sent her share
Of railroad men from everywhere
All one system they've come to be
For Uncle Sans democracy.
The Railroad Corps that never
fails,
Over the rails, over the rails.

SWEET POTATO Is
 SECOND VEGETABLE

The importance of sweet potatoes as S southern crop was emphasized at she sweet potato conference held in
 Birmingham, Ala recently, which was -attrBihed by representatives of the Snned States Department of Agrieul-
 tur and horticultureistS and pathol- og ists frUm 13 Southern states. Had ss.sh a conference been called 10 or even ! years ago, says one of the path ologisis who attended the meeting. it is doubtful whether quorum could have been mustered. But when it is con 'sitlenad that the value of the sweet po- gato has increased more than so per Nrnt in he last 10 years, that is now Hanb, second in value among the veg
 ctabbes in the United States, that the vniue Of the 1917 crop reached the huge -ssnm of 00,0O0 ,OO0, and that of 1918 is estimated at almost 100000. it is moi difficult to understand why so tsn,x-A interest is being taken in this ,Tsrop. The lowly potato. so long ac- 'cusaamed to coming to market along with Ihe farmers surplus eggs and chiclSlns an dother such products, is now moving in solid carloads to the ana rIets of the North, East, and West. Guaty a few years ago sweet potatoes sspent their winter in crude and prim aive dirt banks in the open field, and 'assssT such storage conditions many Yof Them decayed but now they are sstonsi in specially designed and con s2stFnnted storage rouses in which it k possible to regulate the temperature and ventilation in such way that this formerly unstable and pcrishahle pro slncs can he marketed with pract cally tnc aoSs nt any season of the year.

Is THERE AN OPPORTUNITY

For young men and women who learn the cotton business. here is great op- portunity. In the South. there are from twelve to fourteen million bales of cotton raised annually Every bale has to be classed from one to four times. seldom by the same man twice Until the last five years there have been no training schools in this line, consequently the supply of men and women for this work iS limited. Again there are being erected in this country thousands of warehouses, and every ware house requires two or three men to handle the cotton Commissioner F. I .. Wenert of the Market and ware hOu>e Department has appointed Board of Examiners to examine appli- eantS for license. aS Public Cotton ClaSsers. The license will be issued to he or she will have the right to eu- gage in the business of Public Cot ] tou Chasing at any place in the state
 s Texas and t0 charge for his or her services. These examinations are open to both men and women Prac. tiCaliy every town and village where cotton k sold will employ one or more licensed Cotton ClaSSers The young man or woman trained in the Cotton Chasing Department of our school is | i'll much better position to accept one of thes places han one who has learn ed by guess.
 Every young man of the south | should know the classification pres ervation and handling of cotton. II is | our leading product and will continue to be. Of the worlds production. about | sixteen million bales annually. Texas, Oklahoma. Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia supply eighty-fye per cent of | this total. More money iS lost each year by the farmers on the marketing of this product than all other crops knows nothing about marketing it, and iS therefore wholly at the mercy of | the man who is buying The facts are we lose thousands of dollars each year for lack of trained men. Some buyers will grade your cotton Strict Low Middiins ana PaE you accord ingiy, when il reality, your cotton i> middling and you are entitled to the higher price, which iS no small gain. You see the necessity of knowing how to grade your own cotton. In four weeks time, we can prepare you to save this year more than double the cost of your learning. which is only 5000.
 We have been asked How do you teach Cotton Chasing so successfully" The one answer is this: We believe the time has come when the South needs to know more about her leading product :; when the farmer should know more about marketing the crop which he labors so earnestly to pro duce: and which means meat, bread and clothing to his family To this end, we have equipped our depart mentso that efficient teaching may be done. Our teachers understand class ing buying and selling from a practi- cal standpoint and are expert i'll the training of students.

Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone be-
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.

Don't lose a days work. Take a
