EQUALITY OF THE SEXES.

Equality of sexes has received a setback
in the jury box. At Trenton, n J., six men
and six women composing a "hung" jury
were locked up in the court house over night,
requiring twenty hours to reach verdict. Up
in St. Paul, Mimi, five men and seven women
were locked up two days and two nights be-
fore they could agree. In Trenton six hus-
bands raised merry hades because their wives
were kept from their homes, compelling them
to wash dishes and tend to the babies, and
in St. Paul protesting husbands who used I'M
expurgated language to the court narrowly
escaped fines for contempt In both cities the
wives confessed they had had enough jury
duty.
If the juries had been composed wholly
of women the protests might have been mod
fled and the experience might have been
more bearable. To this both husbands and
wives agree But they weren't, and the wives
underwent experiences that were decidedly
uncomfortable. As one of them put the mat
ter, men can get along where women can't
and this observation is the confession the St,
Paul Judge has been waiting for some time.
Judge Cathn has long anticipated that sooner
or later jury duty demanded by women would
result in some experience or other that would
cause them to go a little easier in claiming
equality of the sexes.
Not long ago Missouri judge, discussing
the subject, said The duties OF citizenship
are not all cream-some of them are skim
milk, and l never saw woman who was par
tial to sli1n-milk" There is great deal of
"skim-milk" in jury duty especially when
chung" juries are locked up, 1t is under such
circumstances that men can get along where
women can't" and nobody knows this better
than the women themselves.

THE WORLD,S BEST RODS.

The United States is destined to have the
best road system in all the world, SURPRISING
those of the ideal sections of France said to
be the finest for large area in Europe Look
ing ahead, the task Of building good roads
through out this country seems too vast to
undertake, but it will be done as the years
pass The time will come when perfect roads
will reach every place of importance in the
entire country, giving all the residents every
where egress from their provincial districts
and access to the busy market places of the
big world outside their environs Not only
will all states have highway systems connect
ed with those of other commemorative thus
providing avenues of travel from coast to
coast and from the lakes to the gulf, but the
counties of the states will be connected and
likewise, the sections OF the individual coun-
ties 1t will be a rare community in the fu-
ture that does not have its chance such as
good road will provide
Already the various states have carried for
ward ambitious road building programs The
federal government is also aiding the move
ment, and encouraging it as well, Cities are
building beyond their corporate limits in all
directions from the center like the spokes OF
Wheel for the municipality is compelled to
provide an easier way for outsiders to reach
its places of business. Rural communities also
are ambitious to build and maintain better
roads, 1t is the age of swifter transportation,
thing demanded in a country where dis
tances are greater than those encountered in
more populous places.
The first good roads movement was "a di-
rect result OF the bicycle, the forerunner OF
the motor car Enthusiastic pedalers wished
for smoother surfaces on which to ride. Then
came the automobile, and the good roads
movement was given a stronger impetus than
ever Consider now that the United States has
more than 83 per cent of the II, 588,949 mo-
tor vehicles in the world and estimate the eff
feet of that on the demand for good roads,
and the answer comes automatically. The
United States now operates l05056 900 motor
vehicles, Europe has only 1,110996, and the
whole world, outside OF this country, has but
2 ,083 28o The four leading states for auto
mobile registration, New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania and California, with a total OF D.
896,682, have more motor vehicles than the
world, exclusive of the United States. These
figures are proof enough that the American
demand for good roads never will cease until
they are built everywhere.

BUNCOING THE FARMERS.

Thousands OF poultry raisers and farmers
have been induced to purchase device by
which they can determine" whether eggs
will produce male or female chicks. Some Of
them have been employing this device in
early settings" and are finding that eggs are
turning out the usual number OF roosters,
though the testing promised all pullets. Nat
urally disappointed those who feel it their
duty to do so are writing communications to
the newspapers exposing the "swinde"-and
themselves.
People engaged in every vocation are swim
died, but the farmers, perhaps, more than all
the Others And according to what some of
them say in their communications it is mot
because they are bigger suckers but because
they are overfed on this scientific farming
stuff" There is great deal in this observa-
ton, for the national and state governments
fill the mails with theoretical literature, most
of which will not stand practical test No two
farmers have the same problems, even if their
farms adjoin
The example and advice of a successful
farmer, like many we have here in Terrell
county, is worth tons of theoretical literature

Recalling the Caterpillar.
From the Tifton Gazette.

The Dawson News prints an extract from
an issue of the Atlanta Constitution fifty
years old, August 80, 1872 which in turn
quoted the Dawson Journal as saying that
caterpillars were out in full force in south
west Georgia and in many instances have
gone through cotton fields, leaving nothing
but the stalk with half grown and full ma
tured bolls." Men a little past middle age
who were raised in this section can remem-
Der when cotton fields stripped by caterpil-
lars were a common sight. The destruction
was more complete than that wrought by the
boil weevil now, but the pest was not so
general. Caterpilars marched like the army
worm, or the locust, from one field to an
other Vehicles passing along a road through
lane between fields would crush thousands
OF the crawling worms, passing from field
which had been stripped clean to another
field where the green leaves awaited. These
worms would cover the ground. like green
carpet, and cotton factors, farmers ware
housemen and supply men were diSmayed at
the prospect of disaster. Many enemies OF the
cotton crop have appeared III times past and
threatened to wipe it out, but the enemy pass
ed and cotton came back 1t was said that
we could make cotton more after the cat
erpillar came, but the caterpillar has disap-
peared and is almost forgotten, while cotton
is still with us. The boil weevil is the latest
enemy and presents the most serious prob
lem that has faced the cotton growers And
it shows little inclination to pass on. as the
other pests passed. Instead the weev seems
to be here to stay, and the problem facing
the grower is to make cotton under weevil
conditions.

MOTOR CAR FATALITIES.

The comparison of $4,000 American SOL
-diers killed in the world war to $1,000 per-
sons who met death as a result of motor car
accidents is scarcely fair as method of ar
irving at a conclusion of automobile dangers.
In the first place, approximately 100000
American soldiers went to Europe, and, OF
this number. only part was endangered by
CLOSE contact with the enemy Had the 2,OO0,-
900 been engaged as continuously as their
physical fitness would have permitted, the
list OF killed naturally would have been much
greater 1t should be remembered that since
there are as many as 100000 motor We
hicles of one kind or another in in the
United States the lowest possible estimate
of persons who face a constant risk would
be 10000, 00O for it would require that many
to operate the cars and trucks That is not
the sum total of the persons whose lives are
menaced. for it may be multiplied many times
to arrive at the correct figure, This might
be 100000, or twice that or even more.
Eliminating the rural districts where good
roads have not yet been constructed it is
possible to say that practically the remainder
of the population of more than l00,000,00O is
daily in peril from motor cars.
While the figure OF 91,000 persons killed
by motor cars within eighteen months is as
founding and deplorable the wonder is that
it is not even greater.
