ROSES AND MELONS
QUEER NATURE FREAK
Melon From Vine Among Rose Bush
es Has Taste of Rose Leaf and
Perfume of the Flower.

The Triton Gazette reports that
Mr.. B. B. Grantham, OF that city,
had a rather curious experience with
a volunteer watermelon vine. 1t
came up in his yard this spring
among the rosebushes, and he let it
grow, having in his mind prospect
of a big melon cutting this summer.
The vine spread like Jonah's gourd
until it covered about thirty square
feet of ground, but only bore one
melon. This Grant cut Sunday,
When opened the melon was
beautiful red color, and looked good.
But the meat was absolutely taste
less or if it had any taste at all, it
was that of rose leaf. The open
melon had faint perfume like roses.
Grant thinks he has found good
scheme to start a perfume factory
by grating his rose bushes on melon
vines

BIG CHURCH SURVEY
IS SOON TO START
TO GATHER FACTS ON RELIC
IOUS CONDITIONS I'm EVERY
STATE AND COUNTY.

Georgia and the states of the
Southeast are to be included in a
worldwide census of social, econom-
ic, moral, sanitary and religious con-
ditions such as has never before been
attempted in the history of the world,
according to announcement issued by
the Southern department of the In
terchurch World Movement of North
America, which has opened head
quarters in Atlanta.
This movement originated in the
South last fall, when the idea of
such an undertaking was set forth
by the foreign missionary board of
the Presbyterian church, South; and
since that time the ieda has taken
hold upon all evangelical churches of
America which have banded togeth-
err in the support of the movement.
The first and most vital outcome of
the organization will be the survey
of social conditions, which will be
extended to every county and hamlet
in every state of the Union, and to
the entire missionary field in foreign
lands as we'll. The information thus
derived is to be placed at the disposal
of the various religious bodies of
America by which they can guide
their future action in tremendous
drive for social betterment through
church influence.
Each religious body that has joined
in the movement is preserving it's
own identity. The movement has
nothing at all to do with organic
church union or doctrinal matters,
and does not propose to set up any
super-commission with executive
powers. 1t is merely working or
ganization for the collection of sta
tistics and information by which the
churches may be guided in the direc-
ton of their work.
The basis Of the work in Georgia
will be through county organizations.
Representatives of all denominations
in each of the rural communities are
forming county councils to under
take social studies and to insure that
they are complete and accurate.
Trained surveyors in the social field
will be furnished these councils at
their request to aid them in securing
the necessary data.
The data desired will deal with the
condition of every church in the
county, it's membership, its financial
whether it is gaining or
losing members, whether its families
are receiving pastoral care. They are
to report upon church groupings,
efforts, neglected terri
tory and families not reached by
church effort, community centers, So
cial centers, and buildings, location
and use of lodge and other meeting
places and similar information.
The county council will study this
data and use its own judgment about
arranging for interdenom1national
effort to handle purely local condi-
tions. 1t will then certify the infor-
nation to the state council. This
BODY is also composed of represent
least one clergyman and
one layman-from each denomina-
ton. The state council in turn stud
les the report, works out its own adj
visory program, and sends the report
to divisional headquarters.

AMERICA TO OWN
half MERCHANT
MARINE FLEET
By 1920 Total Tonnage I'm
der U. S. Flag Will Total
Nineteen Million Tons.
fBy Associated Press)

Y WARRINGTON, Feb. 25.-Discussing
the American merchant marine prob
lem In the senate today. Senator Ran
sdell Of Louisiana, predicted that with
in few months the shipping board
would own one-half the going
merchant vessels in the United States
over 500 gross tons, and that by 1920
ship construction in this country
would have increased the total ton
mage under the American flag to APP
proximately 100000 tons.
These figures" the senator said.
lead to the conclusion that from the
Quantitive point Of view, looking only
at the objective Of securing an aggre.
! gate amount of tonnage under our flag
commensurate with the maritime In
terests OF the United States, the prob
/ lem of the American merchant marine
Is solved" -
/. OF the predicted 100000, the LOU
isiana senator estimated 14,525,50O
tons would be owned by the shipping
board. AS the authority of the board
to operate vessels expires by limita-
ton six months after the formal proc
lamation of peace, he said, it was es-
sential that legislation be provided
whereby the operation may be con-
tinued.
Opposes Federal Subsidy
Stating his opposition to govern
ment subsidy, Senator Ransdell out
lined three possible solutions of the
merchant marine problem as follows:
N First, complete ownership and oper-
Z alton of all ships, docks. wharves and
terminals, on the same principal under
Z which Rumania and Belgium operated
: their shipping before the war; second.
ownership and operation through a,
public corporation controlled by the
government. under the same method
by which the war department operates
the Panama Railroad and Steamship
company; third, government owner
ship Of the vessels and the employ
ment of private agencies for their
operation.
THE strength of the merchant ma
rine, however" he emphasized, lies
in the number Of trained, alert, re-
sourceful shipping men whom 1t can
call to its service, on whose watchful,
persevering and competent work the
success of a shipping venture de-
pends."
