HOT SPRINGS UNDER WATER
 RESIDENTS TAKE TO HILLS

There is report in circulation in Nenana today to the effect that Hot Springs, mining town on the Tanana river below Nenana, has been submerged by an overflow, presumably resulting from an ice jam some distance below the town. The report states there has been a general exodus of residents to near by high ground and it is presumed the damage to stocks and household effects will be heavy. -.
 It is impossible to obtain any de- finite information regarding the sit nation owing to the fact that tele- graphic communication with Hot Springs has been interrupted, the presumption being that the operator was compelled by high water to a. bandon his post. The presence of a jam in the river is mentioned in ad- vices received from Tanana
 High water also is reported at Circle but details are unobtainable at this time.
 The water is rising steadily at Nenana, due chiefly to the rapid melting of snow and glaciers at the head of the Tanana river and tri- butary streams. The city is not in any danger at this time, however, and it is considered probable the rush of spring water will pass with out leaving the banks of the river.

letters. Good-by, your new niece and
cousin.

Elberton, Ga, Route 6.
Dear Auntie and Cousins: Won
der what you all are doing this fine
day? L have been playing ball, and
just wished you all were here to
play with us. 1 have been going to
school in our now schoolhouse. My
teacher is Mr.. D. w. Smith, from
Greenville, S. c., perhaps some of
yop know him. I think he is a fine
man. Cousins, I see you all like
letters of great men, so [ am going
to tell you about George Fox. George
Fox was born at Drayton, England,
in 1924, and was the founder of the
Quakers. The boys family was poor
and his father sent him to learn
the shoe-maker's trade. But the boy
felt drawn to a different life. He
felt that God was calling him to
preach, before he was nineteen. He
was gentle, pure and thoughtful. He
began at once to preach in sim
pie, but winning way he warned the
people against drinking, swearing
and gambling and other similar sins
of his day.
Many that heard him were con-
verted The laws at that time were
very strict against new religious and
the friends or Quakers were often
arrested. In Massachusetts the
Friends were arrested and sent out
of the colony.
Fox was a great traveller. On 1872
he and William Edmundson came
to America to cheer those who were
all ready Friends and to preach to
those who were not. In the same
year in he fall George Fox came into
Albemarle. He preached as he had
he opportunity, and found the peo-
pie tender and open to him and de-
sirous Of having other meeting.
I think George Fox is one of the
most interesting characters in his
tory, because he was seeking the
welfare of others then he was such
brave Christian man.
If any of you desire to write to
a lonely schoolgirl and learn more
about the community in which I
live, write me.
An old cousin.

Maintaining Dairy Calves

The dairy industry has made a
line record in Georgia during the
past year. Some twelve of the fit
teen creameries are still in active
operation. Some Of these have made
an exceedingly fine record. AS re-
suit, there is a considerable demand
for dairy cows. Because we are not
producing nearly enough milk and
butter to supply our home needs,
the question naturally arises as to
the advisability of raising or Of buy
ing cows. In view of the large
amount of feed required in raising
cows, the latter policy is the one
for us to institute and pursue. If
we are to raise our dairy COWS, we
must think about the method of
procedure to follow because it is not
as easy a proposition as some may
suppose. 1t is also a relatively new
business. 1t is privilege, therefore,
to be able to present in concise
form some of the essential facts
governing the feed and care of the
dairy calf as prepared by Professor
Frank w Fitch of the field extern
sion service and dairy husbandry
division of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture.
With the rapidly increasing in
tereSt in dairying a demand for
good cows has developed. The COW
is the unit with which the dairy
man works, and her efficiency as a
producer determines to a large eX-
tent the success or failure of her
owner Better cows can be raised
than can be bought. The breeder
will likely keep the best and sell the
inferior COWS. Through the use of
the right kind of sires, each genera
ton of cows should be more profit
able producers than their dams.
If the calves are properly grown
out, they will prove very profitable
tosthe owner.
The care of the calf should begin
with the care of its mother before
freshening. If she is not given proper
attention, she will care for the I'm.
born calf to the extent of robbing
herself of body weight and vitality.
In other words, COW that is not
receiving sufficient food to care for
