Notables Sign Request
For Release Of Debs

ATLANTA Sept. 28-Many per
sons of prominence are signing the
petition being circulated throughout
the nation asking for the release of
Eugene V. Debs, now in the Atlanta
penitentiary, and other political
prisoners. Samuel M. Castleton, To-
cal attorney for the Socialistic can
didate for president, said that the
signers include Helen Keller, Jacob
H. Schiff, Charles P. Steinmetz, Nor
man Hapgood, Cole Blease, Farley P.
Christensen, nominee for president Of
the Farmer-Labor pfarty, and other
leaders in that party.
Although his friends are making
every effort to have him released,
Mr.. Debs says his confinement saves
him from being accused of the big
crime committed. In a formal state
ment he said
Had l made speech in New York
the night before the big Wall street
explosion, there would have been a
clear case against me. AS it is / have

He said he was charged with re-

Plan To Link Radio
Amateurs OF State

ATLANTA, Sept. 28-With the
idea of linking up all amateur radio
operators in Georgia in a chain of
communication which eventually will
be able to give service in sending
messages for the general public, the
Atlanta Radio club ard the Georgia
School of Technology today issued
a request to all amateur radio opera
tors in Georgia TO send their names
and a description of their radio sets
to E. H. Merritt, at Tech.
Mr.. Merritt, is zone o. the chief
operators AT the Georgia Tech radio
station, which is affiliated with the
American RADIO Relay League, an
organization of radio amateurs form

stations to all parts of the United

IS very clearly sncwn by the irriga-
in themselves and in their state. That
toin projects and other reclamation
schemes. l have been shown one tract
of $4,000 acres that were formerly
overflowed lands. 1t is now one of the
finest farming sections in California.
There is a project on here in Cali
fornia just now that want to bring
to the attention of Georgia people la
ter, and that is land settlement
project. California now has a law
making it possible for the tenant far
mer to become a landowner easily.
1t is too big a story to go into this
here. But I want to call your atten-
ton to this one thing. In 1910 two
thirds of Georgia's farm lands were
cultivated by tenant farmers! Think
of that! How much more valuable
these 10000 farmers would be to
Georgia if they were landowners.
The California bureau of land settle
ment is in position to give their new
settlers every kind of assistance and
information that he may need. That is
very important One of the chief
sources of failure on the part of peo-
pie going into a new section OF coun-
try is the fact that they do not know
the soil and understand farming, con-
ditions. Georgia must provide means
that her two-thirds farming popula-
ton can own their own homes and
have a bureau to advise and coop
crate with the newcomer. We have a
land area sufficient to take care of
100000 people and we must get
them.
Georgia has wonderful opportuni-
ty to develop and grow in prosperity
in the next ten years. The possibili-
ties of our agricultural and mineral
resources are beyond calculation. In
South Georgia we have oil lands and
vast areas of farming lands to devel-
op, our ports to build up, and in North
Georgia they have the minerals and
water powers, fruits and a hundred
industries to foster.
Want Georgia Spirit
We all know about the world-fa-
NOUS American Spirit. We know of
the California Spirit. We want a
Georgia Spirit. We want every man,
woman and child a Georgia booster.
We want to sell Georgia to Georgians

Church in Sunday School session
Tuesday, September ID, Prof. j.
H. H. Mote of Carthage being
he principal speaker of that day
md many other good speakers
assisting. About 60 delegates
were present and it was a most
enjoyable and helpful day. The
evening session was devoted to a
round table talk.
The regular business session of
the various churches convened
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
with a delegation of not less than
$50 from other churches. Rev.
F. B. Kinnell of Webb City was
chosen moderator. This day was
devoted to the appointing of COM
mittees, reading of reports and
discussion of same. 1t was most
harmonious and we'll directed ses-
sion. Thursday was devoted to
mission work, that of district mis-
sions taking up the full session Of
the morning. All requests for Of
lferings were met with unusual di-
rectness and willingness. The
colored brother from Springfield
who represented the Macon Bap-
tist Colored College received about
$35. 90 which less incidental COL
lection was the smallest, the larg-
est being that of district missions
and counting to a little more than
$3.50. With a song and hand
shaking at II m. Friday, the ses-
sion closed and was declared by
many to have been one Of the best
ever held. Much credit is due to
our brother, Rev. F. B. Kinnell,
who has given much of his time
and effort during the last two
months in assisting our church to
prepare for the gathering.

You may talk about the literature
OF ancient Greece and Rome,
OF saGes aAd philosophers
With Athens for their home;
But these treasured works Of arcs
Do not half such Joy impart
AZ the honely country phrases
Waking memories in the heart.
And I live my boyhood over
As each item I peruse
In the weekly country paper,
With its page OF "old home news"
1t is more than thirty summers
Since l left the little town
For the far vests teeming center
To win honor and renown.
Good Dame Fortune smiled beniGnly,
To my wealth has added fame,
And tackled on, before and after,
Several letters to my name.
But no thesis. howe'er brainy,
Ny whole being will enthuse
Like those items in the weekly
On that page Of "Old Home News"
am free now to confess it,
That no pleasures 30 divine
As the hour l scan its pages
All alone at memory's shrine.
Though that country correspondent
May not have been college bred,
And the art Of iournalisnn
Was not drilled into his head,
He's we'll versed by Mother Mature
And he knows just how to choose,
AZ he pens those weekly items
On that page Of "Old Home News"
Sometimes there is bit Of rhyminE
And brief tidings Of the world,
But no hint OF idle gossip
Hateful spite-its pages mar.
There will be revival meetings,
Held next week by Parson Snow"
That reminds me OF q promise
Made to Mother, long ago.
It's just the same old Gospel
And its power will e'er difuse

Are the product OF the home.

MAKING HOGS PAY.

! National Crop Improvement Ssrvice.l
To get the most out Of hogs they
should be raised in relatively small
numbers on farms where there Is con-
siderable waste, such as skim milk,
buttermilk, culled fruits and vegeta-
bies, grain and forage fields to CLEAN,
and other foods which would otherwise
be wasted or marketed with difficulty.
Give the animals green pasture, but
also give them plentiful supply Of
concentrated foods.
Feed the young pigs well until they
are ready for the market, which should
be at about 100 pounds.
Provide shade and fresh drinking
water.
Do not exert hogs during warm
weather.
Use self feeders for finishing market
hogs.
Prevent hog cholera by vaccination.
Do not feed lice. but kill them by
means Of using the dipping vat or
some device whereby the hogs may rub
crude oil over their bodies.
Breed up your herd by keeping only
the best individuals and breeding to
purebred sire Of the same breed.

BIG HOGS AND YOUNG ONES.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The most desirable hogs are those
that weigh 200 pounds, but many OF
them are good up to 800 pounds, de.
pending on their physical construc-
tiOn.
Thousand-pound hogs, pound for
pound, are not as valuable as ho8l
that weigh less. because their fatness
is mostly lard and other things than
ham and bacon and chops. 1t is the
tat that devops on such hogs and not
the meat.
Quick pork Is the desideratum now
adays. and the packing houses prefer
them because they can keep up the
uniformity Of their brand, and they
are certain to have young and tender
meat.
