Campaign Under
Way To Honor
Woodrow Wilson
Movement is Assured of Success With
Cooperation of Leading Georgians

ATLANTA, January 18- With

son Foundation by various organi-
cations and individuals Of the State,
including practically every daily and
weekly newspaper, the plans for rails
ing Georgias part of the 81 100000
endowment have been formally laun-
ched Those who have given thought
to the hold OF the Wilson ideals on
the peoples minds and imaginations
it is stated here, are confident that the
movement is assured OF success if the
proposals can only be fully made
known to the public and Georgia
newspapers will do their part, as they
have always done in worthy move
ments of this character.
The campaign to honor Wilson in
his life time by a memorial which will
perpetuate his name and serve man
kind after the manner of his own ser
vices to the world is not partisan. as
pointed out by Hon. Pleasant A. Sto-
vail of Savannah who is State chair
man of the movement. Mr.. Stovall
who was former minister to Swift
erland and a personal friend of the
War President, refers to the fact that
some of those who criticized most
rabidly certain features Of Mr.. Will
sons efforts to unite liberal forces oil
the earth are leaders in the Foundation
movement.
The awards which will be made pc
rIodically, to groups or individuals who
render meritorious service to democ-
racy, public welfare, liberal thought
or peace through justice by terms of
the announcement offer stimulus to
endeavor both public and private.

with every care the poultryman may
take, he will have little success in
bringing on layers during the cold
months unless a proper house is pro-
vided.
Experiments by poultry specialists
at the state agricultural colleges with
artificial lighting to promote egg pro-
duction during the short days have
been most interesting. It now has
been proven that artificial lights, prin-
cipally electric, that are turned on
early In the morning, will double win
ter egg production, providing, Of
course, the hens do not utilize all their
feed to promote warmth. After the
hens have gone to roost at night, their
morning feed is scattered in the litter.
Then when the lights are turned on,
usually about a. M, they get Off the
perch, are forced to take exercise to
get their breakfasts and are kept In
an active, healthy condition, and pro-
duce a comparatively large number Of
eggs.
Handling a flock of poultry is inter-
esting work and can be made very
profitable now that poultry products
are high and feed costs low. With
the proper sort of a house and careful
feeding and handling, the owner will
find their flock cash-producing asset.

TOOK THREE ENEMY SCALPS
Exploit Of indian Girl Made Her Fa-
nous Among the Tribes Of the
Northwest

One Of the most warlike Of Indian
maidens was Hanging Cloud, a Chip
pewa girl, the daughter of Na-nong-
ga-bee, chief of branch of that tribe
which occupied the territory around
Rice lake in northern Wisconsin, some
75 years ago. In her hair Hanging
Cloud wore three eagle plumes, signi-
flying that she had slain that many
braves in battle.
This exploit she performed when
a party, including herself and her ia
ther, were ambushed by a force of
Sioux, the Chippewas' traditional enc
mics. Her father was slain, and
Hanging Cloud, feigning death, wait
ed until the Sioux came to secure the
scalps of the slain Chippewas, and
then, seizing her fathers rifle, killed
one and, in the pursuit which fol-
lowed, succeeded in killing two more.
She scorned to marry one Of her own
tribe, for she could not espouse her
self to a lesser warrior than she, and
so she finally married a white man,
with whom she lived for many years
near Rice lake.

chestnuts.

An old writer says that horse-chest-
nuts are so called because people in
the East countries do with the fruit
thereof cure their horses of the cough,
shortness Of breath, and such-llke dis
cases." 1t is always temptation to
seek for an ingenious explanation
when there is a simple one at hand,
but the fact is that the hOrse-chestnut
has no connection whatever with the
horse. The word HORSE" as used not
only in horse-chestnut. but also in
horse-laugh, horse-play, hOrse-radish,
and hOrse-mint, is the same word as
goose" the common name Of the
rough, prickly shrub of our commons.
The hOrse-chestnut deserves it's prefix
doubly. for when inclosed in it's burr
it is a prickly thing to handle. and
its kernel is acid and unpleasant to
the taste. Similarly. the horse-radlsh
is q pungent tuber and the hOrse-mint
a pungent mint. Horse-play is rough,
uneOuth play. and hOrse-laugh is a
vulgar. bolsterOus guffaw.

HAD CRUDE IDEA OF WORLD
In the Thirteenth Century People Had
Very Simple Notions Concerning
Geographical Facts.

Geography in the Thirteenth CEN
tury was a very simple affair, which
could be completely mastered by a
schoolbOy with a few minutes study.
The most reliable map pictured a
little fiat world Of three continents,
Europe, Asia and Africa. On its face
appears the various kinds of creatures,
human, animal and semi-human, which
were believed to inhabit the remote
regions of the earth. The holy city
Of Jerusalem is placed in the exact
center, and at the extreme east is the
Garden of Paradise, represented by
an apple tree, Adam and Eve and the
serpent.
The earth itself is bounded on the
four quarters by the 'jumping-off
place" In the southern part of At
rica appears the figure Of a strange
man whose face appears to be on his
chest. Elsewhere are griffins, uni
corns and several creatures which COM
pletely defy classification. This map
is interesting to contrast with that
studied in ancient China, which repre-
sented the known world as resting on
the back of a COW. Some of the old
Chinese declared that, after an earth
quake they had found some of the
cows hairs In the assures of the earth

munched, he said: mo, it hain'tl"

pie, saying:
"COx's Orange Pippin, my happy
aunt Don't yer know a Beauty Of
Kent when yer sees it? Lemme taste
it. No, 'tisn't that /"
Still another grimy paw reached
out and took the fruit, deploring:

The most obvious Instances of his

minating in the vast effort Of pa
