DR.. RTON'S
DATLYLETTER
A TINE TO DANCE.


EIOW comes Henry Morgenthau and
q y tells us why he became a polite
ian, and why a good many other
things happened or did not happen.
lie says among other things that
Champ Clark and not Woodrow VIII
son would have been nominated by
the Democratic convention in Balti-
more and elected by the people in the
following November if the Missouri
delegation had not wasted J5 minutes
in snake-dance just when they
should have been punching their hits.
Champ Clark was a popular candi-
date, and much better known then
than Woodrow Wilson. No one had
been singing about Wilson:
Every time / come to town,
The boys keep kickin' my dawg
arour;
Makes no dilf'rence if he is a houn',
They gotta quit kickin' my dog
aroun'."
You probably remember the hound
daWg song. Men have been nomi-
mated and elected president of the
United States for reasons not much
better than that some such song
might be sung in their honor.
But Champ Clark did not receive
the nomination. The Democratic
convention. unlike the Republican,
requires a tWo-thirds vote to nomi-
nate.
Until 1912 there had been no in.
stance, since that of Stephen A.
Douglas in 1860, in which man who
got majority of votes in a Demo.
cratic convention failed Of the ulti-
mate two-thirds.
So the Missouri delegation in
dulged in 55 minutes of hilarity Just
at the wrong time. The tenth bal.
lot gave Champ his majority. Had
his followers given three cheers and
forced another ballot at once, he
might have been nominated on that
vote or the next.
But in that fatal S. minutes, the
chance was lost. The enemies Of
Clark united on Wilson, and the
world was made more or less safe
for the Democratic party.
Solomon said there was a time to
dance and a time not to dance. There
is time to pay the fiddler and 20
home.
Men who have attended political
will agree that thehe Is
too much waste Of time ia sheer
horse-play and not enough appeal to
good sense.
There is a time when men ought
not to dance.

disuIphid.
In order to fumigate with carbon
disulphid it is necessary to have the
corn in an air tight container. This
may be a crib with tight walls and
floor and close fitting doors and win,
dows. specially constructed box,
water tight barrel, or even tin pail
depending on the amount Of corn to
be fumigated. The essential thing IS
that it be as near tight as possible
The containcr should not be much
larger than is necessary to hold the
corn, as the amount Of carbon disul-
phid used depends on the size Of the
containcr and not on the amount Of
corn or the number of weevils. Corn
Should always be shocked before
fumigating, as the shucks will pre-
vent the gas penetrating the corn.
Carbon disulphid is a heavy liquid
which evaporates very RAPIDLY anG

IT'S all wrong, Judge; it's all wrong
There was no intention to steal
Captain John A. Cobb's honors as
the oldest ordinary in Georgia when
the picture of Judge Williams Of Uar.

lanta Journal as such. The Harris
County Journal explains:
"The engravure Of the oldest
and youngest ordinaries in Georgia
was especially attractive to Harris
ccuntians in the Atlanta Sunday
Journal. The statement. however,
is little misleading. as Judge Will
Hams is the ordinary of longest
service in the state, his terms cx-
tending over 53 ycars-from 1868,
the year Grant was first elected
president 10 the present time
while Judge Hunter ordinary Of
Mueccgee, has celebrated his SD
birthday and is probably the old
est ordinary in the state "
So, it seems there arc equal honors
for both--one the oldest in point Of
years and the other in point Of scrv.

Early Seeding of Small Grain
Proves Profitable

Earlindss of seeding wheat and
oats has proven to be the most i'm,
portant factor in securing large
yields, in experiments conducted for
six years in Athens, says the Elk,
tension Division of the Georgia State
Collegeg of Agriculture.
Oats seeded on October l 5 gave an
average of 1915 bushels per acre for
the six years period, while those
seeded on November 1 5 averaged on
" II bushels per acre for the same
period. This shows an increase in
yield of 1872 per cent in favor Of
the early seeding.
A similar test with wheat for a
five year period shows that when
seeded on October Is the average
yield is 35.7 bushels, while the No
yember seedlings have averaged only
1873 bushels, or an Increase of 1919
bushels from early seeding Above
Macon oats and wheat should be
sown at least by October 20, and fur
