THE PERSON WHO RINGS A
FALSE FIRE ALARM.

Ladies. and gentlemen: Let us in
troduce to you about the cheapest per-
con there is extant. This cheapest
person ia the one who turns in a false
alarm of fire He rarely she sinks
up like a cur to box of the fire alarm
system. He hastily unlocks the box,
pulls down the lever--whang goes the
sounder on the fire bell, shrek sounds
the toot Of the whistle-the rotten job
is done Tho ringer of the false FIRE
alarm speeds off into the darkness,
thinking he has done fine thing and
something to make excitement
Sure enough, he has made excite.
ment-it may be the excitement of an
overturned fire department truck in
the hurry of the iremen TO do their
futy; i. may be a bewildered pedes-
trian run down by apparatus; it may
be a team or a motor vehicle crushed
by the weight Of the ponderous equip
ment; it may be the means of pre-
venting the firemen from responding to
some real alarm of fire; it may be the
loss of life in that real fire; it may
mean thousand and one things, all
Of which may bring excitement but
which may prove irremediable in the
loss Of life or the destruction OF prop,
erty.
Does the fool-headed ringer of a
false alarm realize the terrible posi-.
bilities he is unloosing By his wsnton
act' Does he not know that the FIRE.
men are on duty to protect him as

despicable act tends TO nullify that |
protection and make the whole scheme |
Of safety useless? Does he not know
that he is working against the inter
ests Of the entire community and Of 1
the individuals in it when he sinks mp

the German people will probably be as

Rookie Pitcher Gets
Breaks that Beat Crays

In one of the cleanest and fast.
est games ever witnessed in the
Ozarks, the Min. Grove baseball
team defeated the Grays Sunday
afternoon at Min. Grove, the
score being | to 0.
Min. Grove uncorked a rookie
southpaw pitcher, by the name
of Kirkpatrick. and from the
way he travelled, he seems to be
the class Of the Min. Grove team.
Slim Owens performed on the
mound for the Grays, and pitched
one of the best games of his car.
Ger, yielding four hits, and fan.
ming ten men. But tho breaks
were against him. In the fifth
inning, with two out and two
strikes on the batter, Heller, the
runner on third, was caught in q
chase, and through a bad throw
and a dropped ball, scored the
lone run which was sufficient to
win the game. The Grays had
three opportunities to score. but
in each instance lack of punch or
the breaks of the game kept the
boys from counting. In the sec.
ond, with none out and runners
on first and second. Langshine,
second baseman. pulled Ural
Dennis Texas Lacquer out of the
air, and before the runners
could get back, a lightning like
triple play resulted. In the fifth
the Grays had another chance to
score, but could not produce the
necessary bingle. Again, in the
seventh. the bases were filled,
and a hit would have meant two
runs and the game, but nothing
doing.

THE COUNTRY HOME
MRc w FELTON,
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

DELIGHTFUL to me that bright April
Sunday-April 18. 1t was too warm
for fires and I was not surprised 10
see a cloud gathering in the late att
ernoon. l was sitting at my writ
ing table trying to write down the
high points in the anger sermon,
when 1 heard wailing wind, that
grew louder and more constant every
minute.
NV husband came in from the barn
ward after seeing the stock fed and
locked up. and his first words were
these, Come out and see the black
cloud. 1 hardly ever saw worse
weather somewhere"
BY this time our dismantled house
was full of confusion. The win
dows were so open that everything
inside the rooms were in confusion
blown around over the floors. d.
rectly it seemed as II the mouse
would go over, it trembled so. we
got inside our room, where we slept,
piled up the trunks and tables
against the door and both of us tried
to hold the door to its place, when
the storm grew wilder
Meantime, the electrical storm be-
came furious. Lightning became IN
sometimes nearly deafening.
Then a crash came and big tree
fell across an Clubhouse, not. more
than fifty feet distant. We thought
it had crushed in the ell of the house,
and knew no better until the storm
abated sufficiently for us to pull
down the trunks on big table from
the door and take q look out.
It was a night Of strenuous en-
deavor for us both. At one time
my husband advised me to crawl
under the bedstead, so that | might
have chance if the walls were blown
in All this time we heard big trees
crashed to earth. Five were blown
down in the yard, and next day be-
tween one and two hundred had gone
down on the farm.
About a mile from us-a cyclone
path cut through a neighbors or
chard and among the big trees. Not
a single thing was left in its onward
sweep.
Next day I recalled the angel SER
mon, with thankful heart. Said the
preacher, Are they not all minis
tering spirits to the heirs of saliva
We were in great danger that
night. If the falling tree had struck
us we might have been crushed and
nobody lett to tell how.
But the storm took the tree away
from the dwelling, and we had small
loss, except IN fallen timber.
1t is a marvel how terrible are
cyclones, and yet the loss of human
life is astonishingly small in proper
ton.
Along about September 22nd we
generally have terrific storms-and
they are called equinoctial storms.

Report on Grasses
Issued at Station
By |. A. McClintock
BY J. A. M'CLINToCK
Psychologist, Georgia Experiment
Station

Station
In July, 1920. shipment Of Merker
and Napier grass joints from Orlando,
Florida. was received at the Georgia
Experiment Station for tests as to
their value as forage crops in the
Piedmont section. The joints were
planted at once in good soil. but aae
to the dry weather which continued
for some time after planting, the
buds were slow to start. When the
new shoots did develop. however. the
growth was very rapid. and by the
middle of October many of the shoots
had reached a height of six to nine
feet and were forming seed heads.
Had the joints been planted earlier
in the season it is probable that the
seed heads would have matured. AS
seed of these grasses is quoted at So
per ounce it should be worth saving.
Although these grasses have stems
resembling some of the smaller va
rieties of cane in size. they are suf-
ficiently succulent so that cattle eat
both leaves and stems.
In judging the value of the Merker
and Napier grasses for the Piedmont
section of Georgia it seemed adj
visable to test their ability to with
stand the winters. Without giving
the roots any more protection than
was afforded by breaking the stems
and allowing the leaves to partly
cover the ground the plants were
left in the soil throughout the winter.
Early in March the growth of last
season was cleared away and some
of the plants examined. 1t was found
that the buds were all alive and
ready to start growth. This would in
dictate that during mild winter such
as that of 1920-21 the roots and buds
of Merker and Napier grass will not
suffer from cold. This test will be
continued at the Georgia Experiment
Station and reports will be made az
new data are collected.
Up to April Is, 1921, the Merker
and Napier grasses have produced
good growth of leaves from one to
two feet in length. indicating they

April Storms and Tornadoes

The newspapers are filled with the
horrible damage that is chronlcIed
since last Saturday, the 18th of
April
The clouds were very threaten
ing where l live. For an hour at
least, the roar was heard--about the
time the citizens of Rome, Ga,
twenty-five miles distant, We're
losers to the approximate amount OF
$250,000.
Fortunately there was no loss of
life recorded. In Arkansas, Okla
homa and Texas the loss of life was
about seventy-as 1 recollect. Down
in south Georgia, near Blakely, an
other cyclone or tornado, swept over
that section-a TENDED with floods
of rain-Which washed away several
bridges.
Following close on these happen
fngs, an April frost damaged the
peaches and killed early vegetables
on truck farms.
April is understood to be tickle
month and has always impressed me
as month given to severe storms.
I we'll remember an occurrence on
April IS, 1866. We had been refugees,
1854, and we reached the old home
in August, 1865. The place was al
most entirely wrecked-by vandals
and reckless army followers. We
had only window glass in one room
during the winter of 1S65-66 The
order had been issued to burn the
dwelling, but some kind neighbors
succeeded in getting family to
move in temporarily, so the frame OF
the residence was spared, but near
ly all the window sash had been re-
moved, piled up on the ground, and
then the reckless destroyers had
punched the panes of glass out and
then burned the panes for fuel.
So my husband and myself occu-
pied the one large room, where the
windows were not removed or de-
stroyed during the following winter
1t was a season of great hardship
to all the people who had to try to
start making a living under such Ill
fated reverses-during reconstruct
ton periods.
But we procured some rough sheet
ing plank, nailed the ends on the in
side of the top of the frames and
allowed the ends to fall or extend
outside so as to turn rain and snow.
The 18th Of April. 1866, came on
Sunday. We attended church in the
forenoon and heard a most wonder
full sermon on 1.-THE Angels" and I
had a fairly good dinner on our re-
turn The leaves on the trees were
green. Our garden plants were do
ing finely, and life began to look
more comfortable for us. / was a
lonely mother, both my fine, young
sons, one eleven, the other nearly
six, had died while we were away in
the refugee shack near Macon, Ga.
And the sermon on the angels was
