IAl PRIsIprhI's CONDITION.

Nearly three dozen bulletins regard

issued from the White House by Dr.
Grsyson. the presidents personal ply

try, anxious as II is over the illness OF
its chief executive and worried as to
the future has not been granted any
Information as to the nature or the
presidents Illness or any definite pre-
diction as to when, II ever, he will be
able to resume his duties. Senator
Moses, In the letter made public. told

refuses to deny or affirm as TO the re-

the unease Of the country.
In congressional circles, according
to the statements OF the New York
Times by its Washington correspond

situation has reached a point where
some definite statement should be is
sued to the country disclosing the e1-
act nature of the presidents illness. So
far persistent efforts to ascertain
something definite have utterly failed
thru the refusal Of Grayson. So all

Under present political conditions

fully Informed Of the character Of the

1t Is good to remember in the midst
of all the sentimentaIizing about au-
tumn and It's beauties that II Is fol-
lowed by an intensely cold and prac-
teal season. II has been a time
honored custom to discuss the proba
bilities OF severe winter. We all
know the signs which are thought 10
give some idea OF what the season is
to be. A helpful Dit of philosophy is
connected with a discussion OF these
signs in the following editorial from
the New York Sun:
But Is the acorn crop heavy! Is
the corn hard to shuck2 Are the deer
in gray coat? Are the pigs gathering
much straw for bedding Are rab-
bits fat? Do cartridges refrain from
drumming7 Is the skin on the cat
fish's belly thicker than usual? These
are all revered signs of a hard winter.

right?"
You're right, but I don't know the

Thereupon another member re-
marked: I'm tell you what's the mat

about his scores that every time he
goes out to play he has to try to equal
those figures. Hence he is continual
ly pressing, and naturally he gets
worse and worse. .....1 -
HE is living, breathing example
Of the value of honesty in the game.
Now, understand me, I don't mean to
say he exaggerates to injure any

THIS FARMER HAD
NO HARD LUCK CROP
J. T. DEAN ILLUSTRATES WHAT
CAN BE DONE WITH GRAIN

j. T. Dean, live farmer in the
Eleventh District, some eight miles
from iCordele, grew 140 bushels of
oats on five acres of his farm this
year and followed with a crop of
corn planted in May which has
yield fifteen bushels to the acre.
This is a grain crop made and in
the house, counted and stocked and
actually presented at what it mea-
sures. 1t took no unusual expense in
fertilizer or tilling. 1t was done by
plain farming in the right way.
Mr.. Dean is a g cd farmer and in
this small crop fully reiutes the
age-old claim that corn and oats can
not be made in this section to a pay
ing advantage. Count this up and see
for yourself. Try intensified farming
next year, and count the difference
in results on your farm.
