The world constantly is advancing
and objects and types which made
history a few years ago will soon be
undiscoverable. 1t is an interesting
speculation to consider Just what the
historian of the present time should
experience In order to be able to
write convincingly. In the military
world an excellent example of this
situation is furnished in the cavalry.
Indeed. it is almost too late for a
modern historian to obtain any com
plete idea of what cavalry is. Nearly
every nation in the world has practi-
cally discarded this once famous
branch of military activity, and the
historian intending to treat of civil
life as we'll as military developments
should bestir himself at once to
learn all he can about horses. for
In many a city a man may go for
hours without seeing n single horse.

AGNES ABELING
KATE HAD LIED

Kate sat silent, motlonless.
James Latham should not see how
the thought of Dams faithlessness
had shaken her. His months Of ser
vice overseas were vivid, indeed He
had gone away with a promise and
come back, she thought, having full
filled it. She remembered well the
day of his going and of his return.
She had believed in him. Let La
than had just told her that he had
been registered at Paris with wo-
man. She had said she was the wo-
man herself-yet she had never been
in Paris!
She had lied.
What of Latham?
II was the woman with him." she
repeated aloud and looked squarely
at Latham, Slight smile curving
her lips.
I was hard to carry the thing off
SO.
Latham was silent, strangely silent
for the remainder of the jour
ney.
When at length the car drew up
in front of the home OF Justin Par
sons, he held out his hand.
Goodnight" he said.
Kate wondered at the odd intona-
ton. 1t was incomprehensible, some
thing of regret, something of curl
osity. Her impulse was to ask him
why his voice sounded so strangely,
but she checked the words and said
simply;
Good night"
She watched the car as it bore
Latham away into the night. Then
she turned to the house. She paused

She touched the cover of it tend
erly. She loved it, loved the dilapi-
dated thing-just because it had been
Dams.
Latham couldn't rob her of her
dream. What if he did say he had
seen Dan in Paris with a woman?
What if he did! The more her ideal
threatened to vanish the more she
chung to it. With every attempt of
Latham's to rob her she grew richer
and more misery of her dreams.
Yet her sleep that night was
disturbed by the echo of Latham's
voice-smooth, deep, coIorful; by
the touch of his hand-light but firm;
by the smile in his eyes.
She wondered when she awakened
IN the morning, just why she had let
him go away with so cool a Good
night" She had been casual then.
Had she the thing to do over again,
she might, she thought, have done
differently.

FLORIDA DUCK SHOOTING
SEASON NEARLY OVER

Sportsmen in Americas who
might be planning a journey into
the Land of Flowers on a duck
hunting expedition, may be saved
time, trouble and expense by a pc
rusal of this item which we get
from the Townsville Times-En-
terprise:
"Only few more days, the
sportsmen say, before duck shoot
ing on the big Florida lakes be-
low here must stop. This is &C
cording to the Florida game law
for migratory birds. The ducks
are still plentiful and it will be
very hard to resist the temptation
to shoot some Of them, but the
sportsmen have enjoyed fine sea-
son and should be willing to stop
now and let the ducks have rest
until next season. The quail
shooting season IS not over yet
and fishing time is coming before
long"
We know what a temptation it
is to refrain from such fine sport
as this, especially if one is in the
habit of going to Florida just for
the opportunity of shooting ducks.
However the disciples of Ike
Walton are not barred from their
pleasure-nor or those who prefer
to shoot quail.

A SUGGESTION WHICH WE
ALL MIGHT FOLLOW.

A timely suggestion comes to us,
which it might be well for the
farmers and truckers around Am
CIRCUS to ponder. The main idea
is to organize comparatively for
marketing, for it cannot be done,
each man shipping for himself.
This, we get from the Moultrie
Observer, and it might be applied
here just as we'll. Editor Allen
advises:
vegetables can be grown prof
itably here in South Georgia. II
the farmers were organized in SUI
ficient number to cooperate in
production and marketing, ship
ping in car lots daily, they would
be able to market thousands of dol
lars worth of truck and vegeta-
bles that can be grown at little
expense. 1t requires but little
land to grow vegetables, and the
crops are generally off in this
part of the state before the people
to the north of US in Alabama,
Georgia and the Carolinas can get
to market with their stuff. 1t
should be possible for the South
ern tier of Georgia counties to
follow the Florida vegetable crop
just as they follow the Florida
melon crop, and there is as much
difference in the quality of Geor-
gia vegetables and Florida vegeta-
bles as there is difference in Flor
ida watermelons and Georgia wa
termelons."

place to live, excepting for ex-
citing war news. The war with
Great Britain continued, though
rather sporadically. Perry won his
naval victory on Lake Erie. Mean
time, the British blockade of our
coast ports was drawn tighter.
No transportation of goods for
export was permitted, except by
special presidential permit.
Greek Indians were on the war
path in the South.
The national governments ex-
penses during the year totaled

The public in 1913 objected
strenuously to special war tax of
81 to 500 apiece on carriages,
which reminds you of modern auto
taxes.
Maybe, after all, there were lots
of interesting events in 1913 that
weren't recorded because there
were so few newspapers. Even
Boston had no daily paper until
1913.
In 1928, when Russell was 10
years old, events were more in
teresting. New Hampshire had be-
come a great manufacturing state,
with 28 cotton factories, 20 iron
mills and % distilleries-which
many vets will consider about the
right proportion.
Liquor seemed to keep great
minds busy in 1928, Thomas Ew-
bank inventing process of plating
lead pipes with tin, for STILLS"
Nicholas Longworth, of Cincin-
natl, in 1923 began the manufac-
ture of wine from muscatel grapes.
During the year, Commodore
Porter led a naval force against
the West Indian pirates and dis
persed them. The public cheered,
but a more important evil was
the setting up and starting of the
first American steam-pOWer print
ing press by Benthuysen, Albany
N. W printer.
Congress in 1928 made its first
venture in railroad legislation, in
cooperating a company to build
railroad from Philadelphia to Co.
lumbia, Pa. This was considered
decidedly less important than the
completion of the Champlain Ca
nal, connecting Hudson river with
Lake Champlain.
Yes, Joe Russell has lived
through tremendous changes. He
saw backwoods American de-
velop into the richest and most
powerful nation in all history.
1t makes you wonder whether
you also will not see equally
great changes if you, like he, live
