The extensive additions to the Fen

progress for the past year; but which
have been very much delayed because
Of the difficulty Of getting labor dur

for some seventy patients when the

from the constantly increasing press

Favorable talk of early peace Is
most commonly assigned as the reason
for the recent stiffening in the price Of
cotton; but the same condition Of af-
fairs at this season in other years
would have been taken by more pru-

brought about with a view to stimu-
lating an increase of acreage.

The feeding of the starving people

The feeding of the starving people
of Petrograd is being urged upon Pres
ident Wilson by DR.. Fridjoff Nansen,
the Arctic explorer, and other promi-
nent subjects of Sweden and citizens
of Switzerland. They represent that
the people of Petrograd are dying at
the rate of 100000 month, and that
there are no longer in that city any
children under two years of age. There
are some dreadfully crowded orphan
ages, all Of which are in horrible
condition. The proposition to the
president and the big four is to send
food on condition that the Bolsheviki
cease fighting and permit the distribu-

Geneva, Switzerland, has been Sc
lected as the capital Of the league of
nations, much to the disappointment
of the French people, whose hearts
were set on the selection Of Brussels.
There seems to be no doubt of the fact
that 1t was the attitude of President
Wilson that led to the selection Of Ge-
neva- you will not dare to choose a
city as the capital Of the league Of ma
tions which incarnates the enmity be-
tween races-a city which has been
wronged, doubtless, but which makes
a reconciliation betwe a tho people
OF Europe more distant by the very
wrongs 1t has suffered" President
Wilson Is reported to have said to the
delegates In arguing against the selec-
tion in Brussels. Paul Hyman's' Bel
gian minister of foreign affairs, parti-
cularly resented the fact that the sub
committee celebrating upon the choice
of the seat Of the league never dis
cussed the offer made by Burgomcster
ace.. Had London Paris, Rome
or Washington been considered" said
NJ. Hymans," we would have with
drawn with good grace. But when a
small city is decided on we. feel that
1t Is Belgium's right from military
view that Brussels should have been
chosen. Had Zurich fought of the
German hordes for fourteen days, had
Berne been occupied Aug. 20, 1914;
had Geneva withstood the terrific bonn
bardment to which Antwerp was sub
jucted, had the Swiss army battled for
four years along the Rhine as the Bel
gians fought and died among the Yger,
then we would understand why Geneva
would be chosen" France was the
only one of the great powers to vote
for Brussels as the seat Of the league.
Signor Orlando, the Italian premier.
who spoke for only two minutes, said
he was bound by the decision OF the
subcommittee. When the vote was
called for Great Britain, the United
States, Japan and Italy, with two votes
each, and Serbia, Greece, Brazil and

Slovakia, Portugal and Belgium made
up the minority Of six votes. Thus
Geneva became the capital of the lea

puties, following the vote, and the

is in retail prices, and while there
might be some question as to whether
the man who bought his salmon at 6
time when he could have sold 1t at q

him when he asks why he should sci

Maybe the cotton market is getting

sooner or later, and maybe the gam

with an act Of congress, discharged
soldiers are permitted to retain. their
uniforms as a gift from the govern
ment; but Notwithstanding that fact
there recently came from the authori-
ties at Camp Jackson, through Major
Carwile, a bulletin to the local boards,
instructing that discharged soldiers
turn in their uniforms after a specified
time Mr.. ]. s. Brice wrote Maj. Car
vile, calling attention to the act Of
congress of February 26, giving the
uniforms to the soldiers and stating
that he could not see that the military
had anything further to do with the
matter. He sent copy of the letter TO
Congressman Stevenson, asking that
he also take such steps as might be
necessary. Congressman Stevenson
took the matter up with
the adjutant general, calling the at
tention of that official to the fact that
the civil laws now take precedence
over military orders, and that soldiers
who have been discharged from the
army are no longer subject to military
Following the representa-
tions of Congressman Stevenson, the
adjutant general sent down another
order through regular channels and
not long ago the local board received
another bulletin revoking the instruc-
tions contained in the previous bulle-
tin. Both Mr.. Brice and Congressman
Stevenson are deserving of credit for
having performed a distinct service,
both to the discharged soldiers and the
public, for the issue goes far beyond
the mere donation of government uni
forms. 1t involves the question OF
where military jurisdiction ends and
civil jurisdiction begins.

Rabid Dog Makes Big Trouble.
Mr.. J. L. Aycock Of Rock Hill, No.

visit Of a mad dog to his place some
six weeks ago, with consequences that
have been quite expensive. 1t appears
that the rabid animal came at night
ran amuck over the plantation, biting
cows goats and perhaps other animals.
Within nine days after the visit Of the
dog, several goats went mad and 9TH
ers followed until ten out of the flock
Of thirty had been killed. Also Mr..
Aycock found 1t necessary to kill a
cow, which he had been keeping under
observation since the visit Of the mad
dog Entering the pasture to look at
the animal, Mr.. Aycock took with him
an old rife barrel that he had been
using as bar with which to fasten
the gate. The cow attacked him with
out warning and he killed it with the
rifle barrel. The same dog that bit the
cows and goats on his place bit dogs
belonging to neighbors and most Of the
dogs so bitten left their homes and
failed to come back.

IF PULLETS ARE TO LAY EARLY
GROWTH MUSTBE UNINTERRUPTED

me growing pullet is a creature
of habit thoroughly addicted to
regularity and vigorously opposed to
disturbance and unusual commotion.
1t is essential for the. good Of the
flock in its entirety that the pull
let's should grow and improve like
clockWOrk, from the time of hatch
ing to maturity. Laying is, often re-
tarded by seemingly trivial dis
turbances, such as moving the fowl
from place to place and changing the
makeup of the ration.
In order to insure early eggs see
to it that the growth of the pullets
is not retarded in any manner what
ever. Almost without exception the
to maturity has been regular, not
subject to checks and interruptions,
is an early layer. In support or the
statement that checked growth re-
suits in retarded laying, comes the
fact that May matched pullets often
lay earlier than others which were
Matched in April. but retarded in the
early stages of their growth by I'M
favorable weather. Retardation by
weather conditions. however, is only
one of many factors which may
stunt the normal growth of a puIlet
and defer her entrance to the laying
class.
AS rule, egg production begins
at or before the cessati of the pull
let's physical growth and develop
ment of the reproductive organs.
Generally, influences which hinder
HroWth. also operate to delay egg

ESTABLISHING A PEACH Or
CEARn

The Georgia State horticultural
society has divided the state OF
l Georgia into four horticultural re-
.gions, as may be seen from the ac-
companying map: The northern re-
,gion, including the mountainous
\ portions of the state; the middle,
which is the largest, half in the
Piedmont plateau and MALT in the
northern part of the coastal PLAIN;
of counties very similar to northern
Florida in their flora and climatic
conditions; and the coastal region,
which includes the counties along
the Atlantic ocean
A glance at the map shows where
peaches are grown in the northern
and central regions of the state.
The peach sections of Georgia are,
therefore, as follows: The north
eastern section, composed of some
five or six counties, with Haber-
Aham county as the most northern
one, and the central section, with
Bibb county at about the center. 1t
is this last section that has given
Georgia the name of a peach-pro-
ducing state. The southern and
coastal sections of the state could
produce peaches, and there is no rea-
son why some varieties of the Honey
and Peen-to types would not thrive
we'll in these warmer climates.
The production of good salable
fruit in this state will normally

from late spring frosts. 1t is UNI

ton only during the year when there

Short Course for Alabama
H Housewives Will Be Given

During the week of August 4 TO
.. the home demonstration agent de-
partment of the Alabama extension
service is planning for a most inter
esting and instructive short course
at Auburn for Alabama housewives
This course will come at the same
time and as a part of the regular
summer school for farmers held
every year under the direction of
DR.. c. A. Cary.
While the program, to which much
thought has been given, is of course
especially designed for the farm
women of Alabama, yet this year its
courses have been so arranged as
to be of equal value and interest to
city housewives as well, The course
makes a strong appeal to the women
of Alabama in meeting the problems
of home making from every view
point. Not Only are there to be daily
lectures on the different phases of
rural life, but in other lines, particu-
larly tnat of hygiene and health, the
discussions will be of vital interest
to- all
Distinguished speakers from
abroad have been secured, some of
them being as follows: Mrs. Grace

production for several months ANY
disturbance affecting the habits,
quarters or comfort of the pullets at
any stage Of her life may retard lay
ing. Shifting the birds from place to
place and abrupt changes in the
diet often disturb the fowl enough
to retard laying. In fact, poultry
fanciers who desire to keep. pullets
IN condition for exhibition often use
this means of keeping them from
laying. On the average, pullets about
to begin laying are more sensitive to
disturbances than at any other
stages of their growth, and therefore
require greater care in handling, hut
disturbances retarding the growth
even of small chicks are likely to
POSTPONE the beginning of egg pro-
duction. i&,,I.s.ie eI.n ''i-,-l-
1t is imperative that every poul-
try keeper exercise the maximum of
caution from the time the chicks
are Matched until the pullets attain
maturity. so that the fowl will make
regular growth and not be subject
ed factors which will stunt or di-
vert the porpcr development of the
birds, The alphabet of proper man
agement of the pu1lets emphasizes
such factors as correct nourishment,
regularity. comfort, Well-being. con-
stitution, exercise and cleanliness.
Given the proper care and surround
ings, the early Matched chick will de-
velop INTO a profitable, early and
persistent producer of eggs. This is
the goal toward which every poul-
tryman should work.,

In New York recently ]. Frank
Lilly, a man of high education and
fine ability, fled from his office leav--
ing his safes stripped of money and
his customers likewise. He is said
to have left a deficit of $1,00O,00O
and to have $4,000 creditors, nearly
all Of these persons who entrusted
creditors are women.
There is nothing peculiar about
Lilly'S case. , He was curb market
operator. There are many persons
with a criminal record connected
with the curb market. The man who
has been the, leading operator on the
curb has a record of three terms
in prison and recent criminal in
dictment. Mr.. Lilly put in a consid-
cradle time studying the curb mar
ket before he launched into bust
ness on his own account He had
western state and professor of psy
choloGy in a middle west university.
His method of swindling was not
new. He played fair with his pat
rons for a while and got a big fol-
lowing. He had every opportunity
to make a good profit by being hon
est but in the company of sharpers
he did as the sharpers do. Instead
of transacting business he bucket
ed the orders Of his customers.
When the market failed to wipe out
his customers he wiped them out by
a h IO1
his hands on that belonged to them
in the shape of money or securities
A general alarm was sent over the
country for his arrest and the ar
rest of his associates. One of these
days he will be captured. Then he
will be tried after all the laws de-
lays have been worked in his behalf
by his lawyers. Then, if he is con-
victed. effort will be made for a
new trial. If he goes to Jail it will
be after years have softened the
memories of the wrongs he has COM
mitted. If his lawyers are clever
to prison.
If the statement of the district
attorney of New York is correct ],
Frank Lilly committed $4,000
crimes. Every customer whose mon
ey he stole was his victim. Yet, if
ne ever goes to Jail, he will go for
one offense and the other is, 999 will
go by the board.
