THE MIRACLE WORKER
BY DR.. Frank Crane

~ l have seen magicans on the stage make
roses grow out of dead pots in minute.
and bring huge bowls of water and goldfish
out OF empty handkerchiefs / have seen in
the moving picture shows, beautiful women
emerge from smoke, and cots leap from mems
mouths, and knives and forks dance without
hands to move then l have read in story
books of fairies making coaches and four out
OF pumpkins and genieS building palace over
night; | have heard of saints bones curing fits.
and the prayers of holy men restoring sight to
the blind; but none of these, no witch nor

mother, djinn, Spook or Spr.te, Ithurel nor
MephlStopheleS, can equal what love can do,
Nothing comes upon my soul like a
tempest OF sunshine as to see boy and a girl
with that light in their faces
Don't smile superior! Don't look wise and
cynical and talk of the sex instinct, and thus
reduce the whole affair to mud Of course
the Bible and science both say so; but did
you never hear of that other statement the
Bible adds, and of which science knows moth

became a living Soul?"
| say to you that l know of nothing more
marvellous, more to be gaped at, wondered and
adored, in this area of human flesh, than to
see dark and 'sodden man-Soul arise from
its sensual wallow, shake off its deepeSt-rooted
cravings, burst through its despair of goodness,
holiness, and all high aims, and suddenly stand
up man, and walk like a god and amaze the
obServant angel watchers from the Skies and all
because woman-thought has moved in upon

Why, men and women, we climb by each

of Paradise. Forget the flesh; remember the

MURDERERS
By H. Addington Bruce

xxTEARY visaged, understood, typical
w product of the slums, he slouched
W slowly through the drizzling rain.
1t was late at night and he had been drink
ing hard--the drinking of one who would
drown misery Now he was making his way
to the dismal quarters he called home.
His thoughts were bitter. He had lost his
job. He was always losing his job, as was,
after all, the natural thing in the case of a
man quite without education and born short
in brain stuff
But if he was essentially an unemploy
able, this did not make matters any better
for him, his wife, and their little child. He
shivered, though not with cold, as he
slouched along.
Then his eye caught sight of an open first
floor window Why will people leave first
floor windows open late at night?
He hestated. Looking up and down the
street, he could see no one Cautiously he
approached the house. quick spring, and
he was through the window.
He found himself in a drawing room,

he went to work, questing for something he
could turn into money.
He had never robbed before. Desperation
had impelled him now. And, being a nov
ice, he bungled so that he was overheard.
Hands up" came a sudden command
from the owner of the house. Because he
was desperate he did not put up his hands.
A heavy poker from the hearth gave him a
sufficient weapon. He struck only once.
The householder fell without so much as
a groan-to move no more. The drink
driven, poverty-driven burglar leaped from
the window-into the arms of passing po-
liceman. A little later they hanged him for
murder.
Into this same street an automobile
turned. At the wheel sat highly educated
gentleman. 1t was his own car, and he was
taking three other highly educated gentle
men for an evening drive.
The party was going nowhere in particu-
lar, but they were going there in hurry.
In so much of a hurry were they that the
driver did not sound his horn as he turned
into the street Nor did he slow down.
By regrettable chance an old lady was
stepping off the curb at that moment. Every
body agreed that it was most regrettable.
The gentleman mOtOrist paid the funeral
expenses-but did not spend day in Jail
Not long afterward a delivery truck in
vaded the street, guided by grimy but ex-
travagantly paid chauffeur
Like the gentleman motorist he knew the
traffic regulations. He was equally aware
OF the danger to others if he did not drive
carefully. But he, too, was in a hurry The

liable is the potato curing plant and cannery
thanks to which. millions of bushels of
sweet potatoes that hitherto would have
spoiled or gone to waste or have been sacri-
feed in a glutted market can be preserved
and made to yield full value. The conse-
ouent gains will bulk large in the States agrl-

mate singulary we'll suited to growing the
delectable and increasingly popular tuber,
and with facilities for holding and market
ing the crop evenly throughout the year,
Georgia can make her sweet potato patches
veritable mines of prosperity.
It should be remembered, however, that
the wealth. conserving, withdrawing INDUS

stage Gratifying as it is that Georgia has

begun careful observers remind us that her
resources in this and kindred fields nave
scarcely been touched. Encouraging as 1t IS
to see the number of -four and grist mills
grow to an average of more than one for every
county, those who know best tell us that the
States production of wheat and corn and
other grains is but a meager fraction OF what
it can be and should be. The cannerles have
multiplied remarkably in recent years, and
have greatly stimulated the raising of vege-
tables and fruits. But fortunes upon for
tunes are yet to be made and saved through
this industry.
Here is a Commonwealth, the largest east
of the Mississippi, having an area as great
as England and Wales together, blest with
unexcelled riches of soil and sun, capable OF
producing virtually every root and leaf and
fruit that goes to feed mankind virtually
every animal and harvest that dimes or
clothes him. Yet this empire of natural treas
ure and opportunity now numbers it's grain
mills and packing plants and canneries by
only tens and ifties! Time will come when
they will be numbered by hundreds and by
thousands.

One Hundred Millions of
Georo;a Wealth Wasted

HE startling yet conservative estimate
comes from the State College of
Agriculture that Georgia lost last
year, through crop and animal wastes the
sum of one hundred million dollars. A lire
or flood that destroyed so vast an amount
of wealth would be deplored as an untor-
gettable calamity The loss is none the less
serious because it happens to be distributed
over twelve months and hundreds OF farms;
it is less sensational, but at last 1t comes
home to every citizen and leaves poorer
every interest of the Commonwealth.
Six million five hundred thousand bushels
of sweet potatoes, approximately half OF the
States total yield, spoiled for lack OF suit
able storage. And with the decay of those
tubers, nine million seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars sank to dust. The actual
and potential loss on the eorgia corn
crop is estimated at upwards Of forty-five
million d1Slars. 'This statement" the au-
thorities add, may seem anomalous to many,
but the fact is that we do not need to in
crease our acreage to raise one hundred
million bushels of corn instead of 69,890,
600 as we did last year. By careful seed
selection, by thorough preparation, cultiva-
ton and fertilization, by eradicating smut
and other diseases, we can raise a much
larger crop and save many millions of dol
lars that annually go out of the State for
corn to feed live stock and for human food -
To these losses add that of some three and
a quarter million dollars through hog chol-
era; five million through the cattle tick;
upwards of twelve million through underfeed-
ing of mich COWS and other cattle; six mil
lion two hundred and ninety thousand dol
lars through short lint cotton; more than
eight. and-a half million through improper
grading Of cotton and six million through
failure to- grow varieties of cotton whose
seed will yield the highest percentage of OIL
Then top on sundry millions for wastes and
deter1oratlons in the peanut and tobacco
crops and we have the enormous total of
$1O0,672, 832-more than eleven times the
States gross revenue.
Now, it is not to be argued that this
wastage can be stopped altogether. But sup
pose half of it were stopped, suppose 1.-THE
OF 1t were saved, suppose even one-hun-
dredth part of it were prevented. Is not a.
million dollars worth conserving?

DR.. Butler Abo1ogizes

~ NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER is
I J sorry for what he said concerning the
defeat of General Leonard Wood and
the nomination of Senator Warren G.. Hard
ing at the Chicago convention. He has made
public apology for his words, which he ad-
mits were unbecoming and unwarranted. He
attributes his Outburst to the "Strain tur-
MOL and fatigue" of the convention before
which he himself was candidate.
DR.. Buffers apology, in the form of a
telegram to Colonel William Cooper Proc
ter, angel of the Wood campaign, follows:
II am convinced that my words spoken
under the strain, turmoil and fatigue of the
Chicago convention, and in sharp revolt
against the power of money in politics, were
,th unbecoming and unwarranted and
that 1 should-ard do-apologize to each
and every one who felt hurt by what l
said"
In addition to the telegram to Colonel
Proctor, Dr. Butler also addressed apologies
to a score or more other prominent Republi-
cans who publicly resented his attack upon
General Woods candidacy. and who were
among the contributors to the Wood pre-
convention campaign fund.
In publicly apologizing for his words DR..
Butler does the manly thing, but in so doing
has injured UNNECESSARILY his chances OF
winning the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of New York. for which he is now an
aspirant.
At least the New York Tribune, in it's news
columns, asserts that Dr. Buffers "unbecom-
ing and unwarranted" attack on General
Wood has punctured whatever was left OF
his boom for Governor and that chose
who used him at Chicago for stalking
hore will have to revise their plans"
The same article remarks that Butler S
friends are now striving to save him from
political oblivion.

NEW MAP OF AN
AREA IN GEORGIA

A topographic map of parts of
Screven, Jenkins, and Burke counties,
Ca has just been published by the
United States Geological survey, de-
partment of interior. This is one
of the areas mapped by the geological
survey in cooperation with the war
department as part of the national
defensive program set by the gen.
eral staff in 1917.
Except in the swampy areas the
country is rolling, and in some places
it rises 200. feet or more above the
timbered with gum pine and in the
swamps with cypress. The soil,
light, sandy loan that rests on clay,
raises fair crops of cotton and some
corn. Most of this area is rather
sparsely settled, the inhabitants num-
square mile. The roads are numerous
and are fairly good in dry weather.
The summers are long and hot, but
the winters are short and mild, with
very little snow and ice.
The area is drained by Beaverdam
Creek and Ogeechee River and their
tributaries. In the summer and early
i nthe fall, when the smaller streams
have ceased to flow, the Ogeechee is
narrow and sluggish, wandering back
and forth across swamp mile or
two wide, but when the water rains
begin the river overflows it's low
banks and spreads over it's valley
floor.
The quadrangle is named from Mil
len, town of $500 people, which is
place of cotton mills and cotton
gins and the northern terminus of the
Georgia & Florida railroad. From
Millen the Central of Georgia rail-
way runs southeastward to Savannah.
northward to Charleston, and west
ward to Atlanta, Macon, and Column
bus. The Savannah & Atlanta rail
road runs across the northwest corner
of the area, through small town
called Sardis. Four or five miles north
of Millen is the site Of old Fort Law
ton. which was used as a prison camp
by the Confedcrates during the civil
war.
The scale of the map is about an
inch to a mile, and the heights of all
parts of the area above sea level are
shown by 10-foot contours. Copies of
the map may be bought for 10 cents

States Geological Survey, Washing

The GrouOth and the Future
of Georgia Food Industries

TT HERE is appetizing food for thought in
the announcement that Georgia has
nine packing plants, sixteen velvet
bean mills, fifty-seven canneries, one hundred
and seventy-three flour and grist mills and
one hundred and seventy-seven vegetable oil
mills. These figures from Commissioner
Stanley's latest annual report of the State
Department of Commerce and Labor bear
witness to the growth of a peculiarly i'm
portant and still pioneer field of our indus
try.
The Commemorative prosperity in it's
fresher aspects and larger reaches depends
mainly upon the encouragement of food pro-
duction. To the extent that Georgia becomes
self-sustaining in cereals, meats and the basic
vegetables, her agricultural wealth. which is
the foundation of other kinds, will be de-
veloped and conserved. But an all important
prerequisite to steady progress In such pro-
duction is means for marketing the. output
conveniently and proitably. Without these
facilities the farmer will have scant induce
ment to raise crops other than cotton; with
them, there will be liberal assurance of. d-
versified agriculture and its enrichment of the
States whole economic system.
Hence the significance of the increasing
number of industrial plants through which
food harvests can be marketed to the adj
vantage of the grower and all others con-
cerned. The value of the cotton crop itself
has been immensely enhanced by the utiliza-
ton of it's food elements in cottonseed oil
mills. In his pregnant sketch of the States
industrial development Professor Joseph T.
Derry, assistant commissioner of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor, points out
chat for the twelvemonth ended July 81, 1918,
these mills expended upwards of fifty-six mil
lion dollars for cotton seed and wages, and
turned forth oil and by-products to the value
of nearly sixty-fve million dollars.
Potentially more important are the indus
tries having to do with food crops Among
the more recent of these, and especially val

Short Cotton Croft Predicted

Reports from practically every county in
Georgia indicate that the farmers are sew
eral weeks behind with their work on &C
count of the almost incessant rainfall of
the past five months, and in several sections
the boil weevil is making his presence ap-
parent.
While Georgia cannot hope to produce a
normal crop of cotton this year, a satisfac-
tory price is in prospect and even at this
late date there are other crops that may be
planted with profit. This is not a one-crop
State.
In many counties south of Macon peanut
and pecans are being given careful atten-
ton, and north of that city cattle and hog
raising will yield rich profit. In Southwest
Georgia and many counties in South Geor-
gia the famous razor back" variety of
swine has been succeeded by pure-bred
Duroc jersey. Berkshire, Poland China,
Hampshire and other breeds popular and
beautiful at the Southeastern and other
Georgia fairs.
Some counties are beginning to manifest
an active interest in stock raising, and if it
should become apparent that cotton can no
longer be produced, Georgia farmers will
not be dependent upon other States for
subsistence.
