LEAF-FALL
By John Brock


II ACH day grows lonelier, for when the
II leaves are down the fiers are gone.
49, Even sunny weather can't delay them.
And the owl knows why. It's not just be-
cause the insects fail-doesn't the grasshop-
per still chirp, the bat still fatten on the
swallows airy hunting ground? But how
they ask, "can a feathered party sleep o.
nights without a cluster to cover him."
A few sparrOWs linger for the sake of the
mellow seeds. What are leaves to them so
long as the mesh of the brush is too fine for
owl wings? And they fare so richly one
song from sheer exuberance of energy. But
it's risky business. What If sudden
seetstorm should lock up the seedheads in
a crust of ice? One brisk reminder of this
sort is enough to send them fitting.
But the blackbirds leave the berry-laden
thcl1ets to more discrete birds who sleep in
owl-proof holes, while the wren's leftover
rations of aphis eggs spider nests fall to the
kinglets, who roost in the eyergreens all year
round. And Cock Robin abandons his
stripped perches and the latest latest worms
to the woodcock and the snipe. They can
still probe below the frost and they nestle
in the leaves after they fall.
But the grounds a restless bed. AS soon
as the muds fit for animated augurs the
snakes bore their way rootward. Jhereupon
the mice grow brash. Each leaf-curl makes
them hiding place. So they skitter every
where, cen ticking the twigs beneath their
thieving feet as they climb after what was
meant for sparrow breakfasts, as all beaks
know, and running their mischievous trails
through the very leaf piles where sleepers
lie.
But it doesn't pay to eXpostulate with
them. For the mink's afoot-the mink who
can outslink the snakes themselves and glide
through anything but brier patch as
subtly a gust of breeze. So are the skunks.
And SO is Breer Coon. They could turn in
any frosty night now and sleep safely till
spring. For the crisp carpet of the woods
shakes out the crumple of passing paws and
scatters their scent far down the wind, and
the grounds too hard by dawn to hold a
betraying footprint. Still, it's always prefer
able to wait until your fur warns you of
spanking storm, guaranteed to snow, shut all
wild-woods doors. Not the first of the sea-
son, either; that merely clears the air for
more fair weather. In the meantime they
keep busy trying to stay fat Bad news for
those who sleep in leaf blankets

SAVING FAITH
BY DR.. Frank Crane

tn HERE is no anger like the anger of a
man who knows he is in the wrong.
The lust to fight, to settle differ
ence by blows, is keenest when we are con-
scious that we are not competent to settle it
by reason.
The wars of the world have not been for
human rights, they have been due to the
petulance caused by the knowledge of being
in the wrong The war of 1861 was not a
war to stop slavery; it was a war to perpet-
uate it, war that failed.
The significance of every war is not to be
found on the side of the conqueror, but Of
the conquered
Anger is always a sign of weakness. 1t Is
our irritation at our own impotence. 1t is
the fire of the spirit blazing up against the
inevitable. When we know we are superior,
when we are conscious Of greater power than
our adversarys, we are always ca I'M.
When the mother gets into passion,
scolds the child, weeps or shows irritable
ness, she is lower, weaker than the child;
and the child knows it.
Anger is always against what is or seems
stronger than ourselves Jesus grew 1nd1g-
nant toward but one class, the Pharisees.
That was because the eternal Pharisee is the
only dangerous enemy to sense and good
ness. Snug, self-righteOus cOnyentiOnalfsm
is far more formidable than all the seven
deadly sins.
The military preparedness Of the nations
is the outward sign of their inward con-
seriousness of fear and injustice.
This sheds light upon the real reason that
underIes the command of non-resistance. We
do not turn the other cheek because we
are molycoddles or timid or savish in spirit,
Really it is because it is not worth our
while to strike back.

SOY-By Dr.. Edwin E. S1OssOn

" HE recent rise in restaurant prices has
sent economical Americans flocking to
the chop sueys where sayory and
satisfying meal still be obtained for a
small sum. The Chinese in their efforts to
keep three million people above the starva-
ton point for three thousand years have
been forced to figure closely on food values,
and, although they could not tell a calorie
from yitamin at sight, they have worked
out some very ingenious dietetic schemes.
Especially have they been successful in
getting along with little or no meat and
milk. With us Americans meat has been
the main part of the meal with vegetables
on the side With the Chinese this is re-
yersed and meat has in many cases been re-
duced to a condiment. Scraps of beef or
pork chopped up in the chop suey or
few shreds of chicken laid top gives
the eaters the illusion of a meat dish. And
by using sprouted grain they get the vita
Minis that are absent in our cereals.
The chief difficulty of vegetarian diet is
to set a sufficient amount and variety of
prOteins. Beans and peas are the richest in
proteins, but they are not of the sort and
proportion found in meats and needed for
our muscle making.
But there is exception and that is
the soybean. This contains no starch but
cent of protein, and from eighteen to twenty
four per cent of oil. From this it will be
seen that the soybean resembles animal
foods in being rich in fat and protein and
devoid of starch. What is more remarkable
the soybean contains a dozen kinds of pro-
tein compounds that are the same as those
found in milk. In fact a vegetable milk"
can be made from soybeans and from this
vegetable curds and cheese. These form
large part of the diet of Chinese and Japan

Meant for Wings

T Kill Devil Hill, on the North Caro-
~ lima coast, twenty years ago yester
- day, came a world startling achieve
ment in mans age-old dream Of navigating
the air. Lest Americans be thought biased,
let distinguished European. Commander
ut Is historically established beyond any
possibility of doubt" says he. ''that the
Wright brothers were the first human beings
who succeeded in making bird-like flight.
By bird-like, I mean fully sustained, fully
controlled flight, a good taking-off and not
only safe but properly mastered landing
complete and classic way the experimental
method, acquiring knowledge step by step
through actual tests" That first momentous
flight lasted but twelve seconds, Orvile
Wright ascending, while his brother, Will
bur, ran alongside. In the fourth venture
of the day. the biplane kept aloft ffty-nine
seconds and flew some eight hundred and
fifty feet against a stiff wind.
Just twenty years ago! And today bird
men are flying hundreds, yes, thousands, OF
miles without descending! are traversing the
sky roads of continents and seas; are
spirallng higher than ever the eagle dared,
higher than the snow-crown of Mount

hundred and fifty miles an hour; are demon
strating the seryiceableness OF the airplane,

historians will mark as the Age Aerial.
Imagine the measureless toll and peril, the

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. II. FELTON,

the orders to the drum major in their par
ticular occupation.
We understand that our own country is
filled with dissatisfaction, with unrest and
tens OF thousands of men who never expect
to work any more, so long there is enough
tax money in the treasury to keep them afloat
in idleness and political riot
We know what such methods have done to
Europe. We only need leadership to keep
out Of that muddle, and yet it is patent to
every reader of current history that political
propaganda IS filling this country today to
entangle us in European turmoil.
1t Is one time for us where we can see for
ourselves if we do not prefer to remain blind,
and the Bible tells us none are so hopelessly
blind as those who will not see. Are we
going to stand by home affairs or enter an
other Worlds war? Wise-looking men, in
church as we'll as state, are using their in
fluence to go over and rescue Europe"
And these people are generally the driven,
rather than the drivers. They do as they are
told to do, and are paid for their work by
some political or sacerdotal appointment.
None of us who have lived since 1917 can
forget the "drives'' that were made for
money running high into the thirty-fiye,
seventy-five and maybe hundred millions in
Protestant churches all over the United
States of America.
The strong box OF the nation had the bot
tom nearly knocked out of it, and while the
driving was easy, why not drive the church
people as we'll as the taxpayers? Fifty years
from today the facts will be creeping out as
to how the drivers have piled the whip over
the backs of the driven, and how the unre-
sisting multitudes have been used to further
the plans of the selfish and thrifty, working
in the lead for selfish ends.
In conclusion, let us look around and about
us, and try to place ourselves honestly in the
near future, and also endeavor to wake up to
the necessity for rigid self-examination as to
individual duty and responsibility in the COM
ing political campaign. l have lived through
and endured four wars, beginning with the
Mexican war and through the Worlds war.
Every one, in the last analysis, was the result
Of political madness. War is destruction
from beginning to the end. We never risk
it except to lose.

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY

But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look
not on his countenance, or on the height of
his stature; because have refused him:
for the Lord seeth not as man Seeth; for
man looketh on the OUTWARD appearance,
but the Lord looketh on the heart. Keep
thy heart with all diligence, for out of it
are the issues of life. A merry heart doeth
good like medicine. And your heart shall
live that seek God. My soul longeth, even
fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my
heart and my flesh cry out for the Hping

WHICH DO YOU BELONG 7

tn HERE are two sets of people in every
day life. They are thus divided in
|. every community, high Or low. They
are in supreme courts, in legislatures. both
state and national Also they are in the
church as we'll as the state There are lead
ers and the led. There are drivers and the
driven There are some who blessed
with backbone. There are their counterparts
whose backbone IS like a cotton string. They
have always bee1-they will always be-
There some always in the indicative
mood. There are others always in the sub
iunctive mood. There are some who are
menacing and dangerous because they eare
able to lead the crowd they associate with
There are others equally dangerous because
they are the tools and obsequious servants OF
those who can direct and control them in
such manner. They are not equally divided,
because one bold, bad man can terrify a
squad of sorry little towards who are afraid
Of him. He may be only bully but he can
put it over the lazy, also the sneak.
There are two kinds of men in congress;
also in the Georgia legislature.
They are in the front line or they are
afraid to speak until they are spoken to by
the leaders.
very few people occupy the Independent,
the real front. They are small minority.
There are great lot of them who make up
weak majority-who get their opinions ready
made to order, and obey.
SO long as the leaders are good, their in
fluence is wholesome If the controlling few
are patriotic the submitting many are not
dangerous, despite their numbers. They are
always acted upon by the actors, good or bad.
AS a rule Tin the era we live i'm, the controll-
ing few are selfsh-.and selfish interest is
phenomenalIy active, because it means pro-
motion and financial opportunity for the con-
trolling few, over the subjugaton of the
many who follow their lead and submit from
their cowardice.
We are running along today as fast as time
can roll for us into a tremendous and excit-
ing political campaign for the year 1924.
The controlling few are drilling every day in
the year and every waking hour in the day
to manage the vast and non-cOmprehending

are poor. By milking the soybean they can
get ten times much tactical fluid per acre
if they pastured cows on the land. Italian
physicians who used soy milk infant food
during the war report that it was better toll
Grated than cows milk by some of the
babies.
The soy milk products have not yet come
into use with us, but the American patron
of the chop suey has acquired a taste for
another product of the bean, the little glass
crueti of brown sauce that seasons the rice.
1t looks and tastes like meat extract such
as we use in making beef tea, and is really
much like it in composition and nutritive val
ue. This soyu soy sauce is made by long fer
mentation and ripenng of mixture Of
beans and wheat in brine. The longer the
process the better the product. Six months
or a year may suffice for the masses, but
to suit the taste of the Oriental connoisseur
it must be summed for five years even
thirty, the jars being patiently uncovered
every day and covered every night or when
ever it rains. Over two million barrels of
soy sauce are made in Japan every year.
The soybean was first introduced into
America in 1904, but it is only within the
last ten years that it has come to be
monty raised for oil and cattle food. Now
it is becoming one of the major crops in
various states. In Ohio at the present rate
of increase soy will surpass oats in acreage
ten years hence.
But American housewives are slow to ad-
nit soy foods to their table in spite of the
assurances of G. V. Piper and w. j. Morse
of the Department of Agriculture that some
eighty palatable and nutritious dishes from
soup to dessert can be prepared from the
bean. 1t seems that soy will be as long in
potatoes and tomatoes in their day.-Science

MY FAVORITE STORIES

Scamp Montgomery, the character cOmedi-

trip abroad on the Mauritania. The wealth
er was bad from the very outset and for
three days Scamp stayed below.
On the fourth day he climbed out on deck.
The big ship-she was the largest in the
world then-was walloWing through the seas
than ran twenty feet high. Scamp made his
way to where two serious English tourists
were holding a private discussion in shell

lapel of his coat, he gasped out:

the man that if he neglected this essential

Ho1D Factories Heb Farms

A MONG sundry reasons for developing
~ Georgia's industrial resources, there
is one Of peculiar Importance. yet an
frequently stressed. We mean the value of
manufacturing enterprises to farms An ag-
ricultural State, and particularly one whose
fortunes have lain largely in cotton, needs to
make the most Of its potential industries. A
glance at basic conditions in this common
wealth will show why.
For one thing, diversified farming needs
the increase Of population, and hence of mar
ket demands, which growing centers of in
dustry will provide. In the matter of food
stuffs Georgia is capable of maintaining in
comfort many times her present number of
inhabitants; and when that number has
doubled or trebled, the interests of her truck
and dairy farmers and producers of all sorts
of food supplies will be proportionally en-
HANGED. When her water power that now
runs to waste is used in whirling new spin
dies and in driving motive life through hun
dreds Of other manufacturing plants, there
will be no necessity of seeking distant mar
kets for the fruits of her fields, flocks and
herds; they will find ready purchasers at
home. The advantages in spinning and weav-
ing the States cotton near the.source of it's
production have been described too often to
call for further argument. But the equally
liberal benefits to other fields OF agriculture
from the development of Industrial interests
should be pondered more generally by those
concerned for the upbuilding of the common
veal,
Another type OF value is pointed out by
the Manufacturers Record in a discussion of
industries as avenues Of employment for
Southern youths, mutitudes of whom have
been drawn to other regions for want Of gain
full occupations near home. Every mill es-
tablished, whether 1t be cotton or wooden, or
woodworking, or any other kind every fur
mace built, or mine opened, makes a new OPP
portunty for bookkeepers and photographers.
and executive officers, as well as for the
manual labor required. The southern farm
er who does not want to see his boys and
girls forced into other sections to seek en-
ployment, has this added reason why he
should encourage to the utmost extent of his
ability the creation of new industries not
simply because they may add to the wealth
and tho income Of the state, but because they
furnish a market for the mental and physical
powers Of his own offspring as we'll as mar
ket for the diversified products 4 his farm"
All this is, not to imply that our agricul-
that they should be prospered by the quicken
ing and enrichment which the development
of Georgia's wondrous industrial resources
will bring. Thus we shall have better bal
anced, better maintained commonwealth, and
hence one more proof both against economic
adversities and against such social ills as
find expression in radicalism and lawlessness.
