BEGGARS INFEST THE
STREETS OF ATLANTA
Cripples and Pal'alytics Exhibit De-
formities as Used in Old Bag
dad. Know How to Deceive.

ATLANTA.-Atlanta has again
become infested with beggars <and
cripples and paralytics sitting by the
wayside asking aims, exhibiting their
deformities as they used to in the
days of the Caliph Haroun in Bagdad,
and beseeching the passerby in their
whining professional voices.
There is law in Atlanta against
beggars, but it isn't enforced, though
some times the cripples who sit all
over the public sidewalks down town
offer pencils and shoe laces as pre-
text for their presence.
One fellow who sits on Broad
street, whose legs were cut off ten
years ago, puts a fresh white band
age on one of his stumps every
morning, so that passersby may i'm
agine he is sufferer just out of the
hospital.
There are maybe two or three
crippled pencil sellers in Atlanta
who actually work at their pencil
selling trade, and who don't want
aims, but they are the exception.
Just as the cripples infest the
down town districts, the house-to-
house beggars have become a pest
in residential neighborhoods, while
even the Office buildings are from
time to time invaded by persons
whose hard luck story usually costs
the hearer dime or a quarter.

Hairy or sand vetch is extensively
grown in Europe and has been sue
cessfully grown in nearly every dis
trict in this country. The plant pro-
duces numerous slender branches
three to six feet long. The seeds are
small and black. The pods burst
open when ripe and reseed the field
if not pastured too closely. The crop
should be seeded in the fall.
Disk or plow, disk and harrow the
soil until it is thoroughly pulverized.
If it does not rain soon after plow-
ing to settle the soil use the roller,
cul-packer or planker. 1t is best to
drill the seed in, but they may be
broadcasted by hand.
1t is greatly benefited on poor,
sandy soils by the addition of phos-
phoric acid and potash. The Alaba-
ma station found it profitable to ap-
ply 240 pounds of acid phosphate
and 40 pounds of muriate of potash
per acre on poor, sandy soil.
Where the crop has never been
grown it is necessary to inoculate
the soil. On inoculated soil at the
Alabama station it yielded at the
rate of 2,545 pounds per acre, while
on uninoculated soil the yield was
but 232 pounds per acre.
1t is not advisable to sow hairy
vetch alone, as the stems are too
weak to support the weight of the
plant and they fall over and mat
the ground till much damage is done
the under portion of the hay. When
.sowed with oats, rye or wheat the
stems support the vetch and the best
, hay is obtained.
A mixture of about one and a
half bushels Of oats and a half bushel
of vetch seed should be sowed per
acre with an ordinary grain drill
from the first of September till the
| first of November 1t is great mis-
take to seed winter crops too early
in the cotton belt as the long, hot
and often dry weather causes many
! failures.
Oats and vetch make happy COM
| bination both ripen at the same time,
and while oats are exhaustive to
land the vetch adds more plant food
to the soil than is removed by the
oats. The vetch and oats reduce
washing and teaching of plant food
TO the minimum, while vetch also
! transfers nitrogen from the air to
the soil to be used by succeeding
crops By planting vetch and oats

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-tiIne Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re.
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.

How to Grow a Crop of Oats and Vetch
From the Prog ressive Farmer.

FGSSlVO
we save the plant food already pres
ent in the soil and at the same time
transfer nitrogen from the air to the
soil.
There is no better hay than vetch
and oats. This hay provides a much
more satisfactory ration for horses
and mules than corn. The hay is not
so heating and for that reason is
much better adapted for summer
feeding than corn. 1t is also much
better balanced ration than cowpea,
soy bean, peanut, lespedeza, or 9th
er heterogeneous hays.
No better combination can be
found than is furnished by oats and
vetch for winter and early spring
grazing and for hay. Neither plant
! is seriously injured by our winters
and when planted rather early in the
fall can be grazed from December
to April and then crop of hay will
| be ready to harvest the lattel%part
of may or a crop of seed early IN
June.
The two ripen at the same time
and may be cut easily with now
| ing machine. The crop should be cut
about the time the last pods are
formed and the vines are getting
dry. The threshing of the vetch and
oats can be done with an ordinary
grain threshing machine. The selling
of vetch and oat seed mixed is very
profitable

AGAIN TELEPHONE
COMPLY WANTS MORE
SOUTHERN BELL WOULD DIG
DEEPER INTO POOR OLD
PUBLIC'S POCKET.

The Southern Bell Telephone COM
pany has asked the Georgia railroad
commission to fix a date on which
the company can make showing of
the necessity for an increase in rev.
enue.
When the hearing is set the COM
pany will file schedule of the rates
desired and under which its officials
estimate fair return can be had.
The petition sets out that despite
an increase allowed the Company
while it was under government su-
pervision during the war the gross
revenues have not been sufficient to
maintain and operate the property
and to pay it's owners proper COM
pensation on their investment.
This extra cost, the company as
serts, is due in the first place to in
crease in salaries and wages, which
have increased 142 per cent since
1916 and in cost of material.

WHAT WATSON HOPES
TO DO AS SENATOR
NUMBER OF THINGS HE WOULD
ACCOMPLISH FOR THE BEN
Eft OF THE PEOPLE.

THOMSON, Ga,-Thomas E. Wat
son, democratic nominee for the
United States senate, has announced
the things he hopes to accomplish
as a member of the senate. His an
nouncement was made in the issue
of the Columbia Sentinel this week.
The statement follows:
President at Home.
"(D l will do all within my power
to pass a law compelling the presi-
dent to remain in this country during
his term of Office and to declare that
his voluntary abandonment of his
country shall amount in law to a
resignation of Office.
"(2) My earnest efforts will be d.
rected to raise the liberty bonds to
par, by making them legal tender, in
payment of all debts; or by the is
suance of greenback money notes on
those bonds to the amount of their
face value.
eff ever the solemn pledge of the
government was put behind any OBJ
legation it was put behind these lib
erty bonds, and now that they have
been made sacred by the blood of
soldiers who were forced to leave
this country to fight the battle of
the international bankers, it is time
to make these bonds good, dollar for
dollar.
For Parcel Post.
"(3) 1t will be my purpose to
make the parcel post twin brother of
the R. F. D. instead of partner Of
the express companies.
"Hoke Smith has been in the SEN
ate for years and not once has he
lifted his finger to put the parcel
post on a basis where it would be
great blessing to the common people;
he has preferred to knuckle to the
express companies.
go l will do my utmost to abol-
ish the franking privilege, so that all
men, high and low, rich Or poor, will
pay the same postage.
"(5) I do not hesitate to say that
if | am elected to the senate l will
support, most heartily, a bonus bill
for our soldiers which will give them
one years extra pay-a very slight
compensation for what they lost in
the great war.
"a government that is able to give
nine thousand million dollars to for
eign nations. and to build battleships
as fast as they can be constructed,
and to maintain the largest and most
extensive standing army in time of
peace that the world ever saw, should
be able to give one years extra pay
to the American soldiers who saved
Europe from bankruptcy and Ger
man conquest.
Pensions and Confeds.
"(5) Now that the civil war of the
sixties is so far in the past, and the
reunions of the blues and the grays
have become such a beautiful insti-
tuition; now that southern blood has
been shed for the national flag in
the Spanish-American war, in the
Philippines, and in the great Euro

PRICE OF BREAD
SCARS in ENGLAND
COST OF LOAF LIKELY TO GO
TO IS CENTS. CONTROL AND
BEER ARE BLAMED.

LONDON. Eng.-With bread SELL
ing at rs cents a loaf and soon TO
be raised to 80 and later perhaps to
35 cents, England is harvesting this
season the smallest wheat crop since
the early days of the war. Produc;-
ton of barley, on the other hand,
will show a material increase over
that of the last few years.
The reasons for this state of af-
fairs. according to Prof. James Long,
a well known agricultural expert, are
government and beer. The price OF
wheat and oats is regulated, but no
restrictions have been placed on that
of barley. AS the market price. of
barley is exceptionally high, farm
ers planted that grain instead OF
wheat and oats.
Prof Long shows that since 1918
wheat has been reduced by $4,000
acres. or more than one-third of the
present area, while oats, also an i'm
portant bread stuff, has fallen off
by $4,000 acres. "On the basis of
wheat" he says, "this means a loss
of bread grain equal to some 49,
100000 bushels, or sufficient to feed
100000 persons. 1t is a curious
commentary on the fact that the
barley crop has considerably increas-
ed, and that in consequence beer
has SO far occupied the position of
bread"
The country has fewer cattle than
in any year since 1903 and $780,
900 less sheep than the average of
the ten years from 1904 to 1918.
The decrease in cattle since last
year is more than 100000 head.
