OUR CENTER OF POPULATION

How many of US can tell off-hand
the exact center of population of the
United States? Every ten years the
government calculates with great ac-
curacy just where this point lies. The
center moves westward at the rate Of
about fifty miles every ten years.
When the center was first calculated
in 1870 it lay three miles east of
Baltimore, Md. In the first ten years
it moved forty miles westward. BY
1860 it had reached the state of Ohio
and is today slowly crawling across
the State of Indiana. In 100 years
the point has, travelled westward
about 500 miles. Boys Life for Jan
uary.

The style of the new BUSINESS will
be John c. Cogburn Co., the incor-
porators being Messrs. John C. Cog

The RADIUM BRAND
AROUND THE WORLD
Beats the Dutch" AT The Making
OF Socks Is A Marietta
Accomplishment

The ex-kaiser may be able to wear
socks made in Marietta, if his valet
is discriminating enough in the buy
ing of half hose for the deposed Ger
man monarch. AS we may believe
that his ex-Royal Higness is still ap-
preciative of the best in wearing APP
parel, we suspect he will wear Ra-
dunn Half Hose this summer.
We base this conclusion upon the
fact that the Marietta Knitting Com
pany has just made a shipment of
two-thousand dozen pair of the cele-
brated Radium Half Hose to the
thrifty little kingdom of Holland,
where the ex-kaiser is still hiding
from an outraged world.
And whether the ex-kaiser is so
lucky or not good many of the
Dutchmen will wear Marietta made
socks in their wooden shoes this year,
and if the youthful fashions of
America have reached that land, we
may expect to see pictures of pretty
girls, who have added to their charms
by model display of Radium Half
Hose.
When all the cotton grown in
Georgia is thus manufactured in
Georgia into the finished product, and
exported to every other land, the
South will have then come into its
own. More mills, more factories, and
more progressive men to run them, is
what the south needs to lead the
world in trade, and finally in wealth
that comes from international trade.

their business so as to write insurance

THE COLONIAL DANES
PIONEERS OF THRIFT
By Mrs. Joseph, r. Lamar President
The National Society of
Colonial Danes

l am heartily in sympathy with the
plans of the Thrift and Savings De-
partment Of the United States Treas
ury and they have an especial appeal
for the members of the National So
ciety of the Colonial Danes of Ameri-
ca.
For this is an organization which
endeavors to teach patriotism through
the study of history, and by remem-
bering and honoring those men and
women who founded our country, and
the things for which they stood; and
II there was one virture more than
another which our forefathers taught
and practised, it was the virtue of
economy; and the work which the
Treasury Department has wisely
chosen, Thrift" is borrowed from
the past and comes down to us redo
lent with the memory of the spinning
wheel and the distaff.
For thrift is something more and
better than mere economy. The miser
practises the latter and his treasure
is often destroyed by rust or eaten
of moths but the thrifty woman is she
who not only saves but wisely invests
her savings, who puts them to work
and leaves them at work by exer-
cising her ingenuity in inventing sub
stltutes, in making over the old and
worn, and anticipating the needs of
her household so that they may be
supplied in time, without extravagant
expenditure.
AS far back as we can trace her
footsteps down the dim corridors of
time, we see that the successful wo-
man, was the thrifty woman. 1t was
not by accident that our Savior re-
presented those who thriftily con-
serve their supply of oil as wise wo-
man and Soloman has drawn her like
| ness with a firm, true touch which
leaves an indelible picture on our
minds, though his words were spoken
nearly three thousand years ago.
"She seeketh wool and flax and
worketh willingly with her hands,
She is like the merchants ships, she
bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while it is vet night
and giveth meat to her household,
and portion to her maidens,
She considereth field and buyeth it
with the fruit of her hands she
planteth vineyard.
She layeth her hands to the spindle
and her hands hold the distaff.
She stretcheth out her hand to the
poor. yea, she reacheth forth her
hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her
household; for all her household
are clothed in scarlet.
She maketh herself coverings of tape
stry; her clothing in silk and pur-
pie.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom
and in her tongue is the law of
kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of her
household, and eateth not the
bread of idleness."
This is the portrait of wise and
lovable woman, and the colors have
not faded with the passing of the
years.
| have not given the tenderer
lights of the picture Chow ''the
heart of her husband may safely
trust in herr; how strength and
honour are her clothing" and cher

blessed;" because we are considering
this one characteristic, perhaps the
most prominent one in. the compost

that there is no such thing as bald

moulting millions there is such a thing
and there is no advertised concoction
that will retard or restore it, no, not
