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

successful, and all have been condemned, pub
lcly. The last constitutional convention made
our governors responsible for the selection OF
came apparent. Politics got in it, and it was
our judiciary. We tried it and its failure be-
impossible to disconnect partisan favorlt1sm
when a choice lay between a party friend and
party opponent.
The next movement was to allow the legis-
lature to elect judges the legislature elect
ed United States senators. We soon got tired
of that method. The trades and combina-
tions-yOu vote for my man and Ill vote Tor
your man-made the whole thing od1ous, and
the stencil that prevailed showed how rotten
it was when the candidates for Judgesh1ps
were on hand lobbying for seats on the bench.
The candidates were, while judges, SPEND
ing large portion Of their time holdlng
courts in their particular localities. They were
asking from legislators to be reappointed or
elected, whose constituents were interested in
litigation before such courts. These litigants
were anxious, of course. to curry favor with
the judges who were to sit on their cases.
The judicial ermine ruthlessly dragged
through the slime of politics. 1t was an orgy
also in the legislature WHICH was heart-scken-
ing. The cC-s-AiMS i,e<ween candidates for
United g YES senator and supreme court can
didates was brazen. Sometimes a. combine
was made with going-out governors, then can
didates for United States senate, and the COM
bine was disgraceful. A judge elected under
such conditions and clouded by such an at
mosphere of downright political trickery, be-
came notorious Decent people were ashamed,
and men of legal ability and probity decided
to keep out of the mudde.
Then came the movement to elect judges
by primaries, governors were nominated,
and later on as United States senators were
chosen. There was a loud cry for men who
would not and could not trade in the legisla-
tive hall for positions on the bench; or who
declined to submit their names to body
where ring rule manifestly dominant.
LET the people choose their judges, was the
cry and this plan has been tested also.
This plan has proved unacceptable. 1t 10
clearly demonstrated by the action of the Bar
association that change must come, and
come quickly.
The present method must be stopped by leg-
islative enactment, just the other two
methods were altered by legislative enact
ment. Whether a change is made or not made
at the session which is almost ready now to.
assemble, the evil will be discussed before the
proper committees.
Political judges menace to the basic
fundamentals of republican government. A
man who takes seat on the bench and puts
on the ermine in testimony to his own fitness
as fair man and acquainted with the solemn
responsibility of his office, should never be
selected by political chicanery or by lobby
methods.
This growing evil has been complained of
for years, and should be so rebuked by the
people that mon who are insensible of the
dignity and obligations of official stations
shall be made to fear the indignation and con-
tempt that will surely await them

A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY

On the seventh day, when the heart
of the king was merry NTH wine, he COM
manded the Sepen chamberlains to bring
Vashti the queen before the king with
the crown royal, to shew the people and
the princes her beauty, for she mas fair
to look on But the, queen Vashti refused
to come at the kings commandment. Then
the king said to the Mise men, "What shall
ne do unto the queen Vashh" And
Memucan ANSWERED, "Vashti the queen hath
not done wrong to the king only, but also
to all the princes, and to all the people
that are in the provinces. For this deed Of
the queen shall come abroad unto all
women. Likewise shall the ladies of Per-
sia and Media say this day unto all the
kings princes, wto hare heard Of the deed
of the queen. Thus shall there arise too
much contempt and wrath.-Lies from the
story of Esther.

Where Exber;ments Pau

A PERIOD of transition and test like that
~ which Georgia agriculture now is trav-
ersing, makes it peculiarly needful that
farmers have every aid which scientific re-
search can render in solving their problems of
readjustment and winning forward to a new
services of the State Experiment Station are
more than ever important, and its current an
nual report uncommonly interesting.
Something of the Stations methods and re-
suits may be inferred from the account of its
study of peanut feed for dairy cows, Expert
ments conducted during the last two years
showed that when peanuts and peanut meal,
especially the former, were fed in large guam
titles, the butter fat was of much greater
firmness than when wheat bran was similarly
used, indications being that this increased
firmness was produced by the oil in the pea
nuts. To thread the problem further and de-
termine If the changes were indeed caused by
the oil, "a ration containing extracted peanut
oil was fed in comparison with a ration con-
tanning butter fat produced from rations con-
parent increase in milk yield with the herd
receiving the digestible butter fat, but the
milk fat percentage remained constant The
results of this test indicated also that the oil
in peanuts has a. tendency to harden butter
fat as does the oil from cotton seed. Since
velvet beans hold prominent place on many
effects and the value Of the beans as a feed
for dairy cows. Therefore an experiment has
been outlined to feed velvet beans in a man
ner similar to that already begun with pea
nuts
This is but one amid multitudes of In
stances of what the Experiment Station is do
ing to overcome present difficulties to find
out new opportunities, to improve methods.
to increase profits to make richer and hap
pier commonwealth through more efficient
and more fruitful farming. The nature of it's
work is such that long stretches of patient.
unpretentious labor are required for attain
ment Of results; and such, moreover, that the
politician and the man on the street are rare
ly impressed with its significance. Neverthe-
less, from it's busy laboratories come discover
les and suggestions of priceless value to farm
ers and hence to the Georgia public. These
facts should be borne in mind by the Legisla-
ture when 1t makes up It's forthcoming budget.

BROTHER TOM ANSWERS BROTHER ROB

BROTHER TOM ANSWERS BROTHER ROB
My Dear Brother Rob-. Your letter received,
It's contents noted-with sadness believed;
An unwfse gift of an unwise giver
Has ruined a boy with a dad-gummed hivver.
No sadder story than that can be told
More sad for the young man than for the old:
For you and Sou can still podder along
You've already sung the most Of life's song.
I'm sorry that Sou lost all OF her land;
Just fooled 1t off for that tomato-can.
IT'S sadder because twas the old home nest,
The place where memories are sweetest and
best.
Don't shuttle the whole blame Tom Sam
Jim;
You failed In duty-I'm sorry for him:
He smoked cigarettes while you smoked your
cob
Sou shaved and worked and fell down on her
job.
John Henries have ruined full many a boy:
Lounge lizards and fappers thrive on that
They're swept on the brink, in q mad wild
whrl
Till virtue is lost in the boy and girl.
TITS harder to train our children these days,
With many old fools gone wild in their ways:
Twas easier once, when you and were boys
And marbles and balls made most of our toys.
Now, dear Sister Sou no doubt lost her head,
And listened to much what other fools said
About their children having a good time,
And modern ways of giving them the line.
That f1ivver disease is mighty bad here;
I've doctored it more than ever this year.
It's bad on childrea, and houses and land
And fatal to Odd, when he gets tin-canned.
It's technical name is fivveritis
A species of deep-seated brainchtis:
When boys get wild and dangerously i'll
The remedy per Sc is a peachtree pill.
When son begins to call dad the old man,
I give poor dad heavy doses of sand;
1t clears dads brain and acts on his liver
And gives dad the line on boy and flivver.
Now this Is about all 1 have to say;
Just give the treatment in the old-time way
Next time you write hope you will not tell
That Sous still letting Jimmie drift to -.
Well, I must close this time. Write soon.

nv REPTOM RPAT

r HATE to quit the thing I've started
like to see it through
II 1t isn't that I'm valiant-hearted,
But when I've planned to do
A certain stunt, cannot quit
Until see what comes of 1t.
l wouldn't say it was persistence
That keeps me on the job,
But, when I've got a certain distance,
I'm simply all athrob
To keep on going till l see
What luck waits at the end for me.
I hate to quit the game I'm playing
Until I've played it out.
I know that I'm fool for staying
At times, beyond a doubt,
But still stick till I have scanned
The pasteboards in the final hand
SO keep on the course I've charted
Because l want to view
How things come out that hopeful-hearted,
I thought that I could do;
I hate to quit the thing I've started,
like to see 1t through!

The Journal assures this new association of

Georgia.
We wish our readers would examine once
in while the address label on their copies of
The Tri-Weekly. Many do not understand
how to read the expiration date. If, for ex-
ample, your label says 81 July 49," please bear
in mind that that means that your subscrip-
ton expires on the first of July of 1928. Ev-
ery day or two we get a letter from some pa
paper before his time was out. Invariably 1t
is found that the patron had thought the "23"
on the label meant the day of the month.
The shopping bag we offering with a
years subscription for $1,25 is proving the
most satisfactory premium we have given in
long time. The offer is genuine bargain.
and we specially urge our readers to con-
slider it,
Several have liked 1t so well that, with

they have sent in second order.
Not the least satisfactory feature Of the Of
fer is that there is no trouble about delivery.
Both our subscribers and we have a good
deal of trouble with the clubbing combina-
careless in entering the names we send them,
and this causes patrons the annoyance OF
having to complain. This worries us, of course.
Some of the papers which We have offered
in good faith during the past six months have
been dilatory and negligent In handling
our orders that we have determined never
again to use them.
In spite of the vexations of our daily work
we still are getting many kind words about
The Tri-Weekly Journal.
Listen to this, for example:
w. S. Clayton, of Route 8, Camden, Tenn,
writes: 'T am proud of the recent improve
ments made in The Tri-Weekly Journal. 1
find no paper in the south that comes UP with
this farmers newspaper"
W. M. Black, Route 1, Hagan, Ga, let his
subscription lapse a few weeks ago. But the
other day we got a letter 1nclosing a remit
lance and saying: please send The Tri-
Weekly Journal to me again. 1 tried to see
how long I could do without 1t, but find no
comfort in my house when I have labored all
day and come in and can't pick up my paper
and read the news from all over the world
From now on am your subscriber"
Mrs. N. J. Thorneil Of Neches, Tex, writes:
II have been reading The Tri-Weekly Journal
for number of years and like it better all
the time. Your stories are good and Mrs
Felton's letters the best have ever read. She
is such a great woman, and 1 will take the
paper as long as she write. Mrs. Thomas
writes such good helpful letters, too"

lust Amonq Ourselves

~ NE of the helpful signs OF the times Is
what might be called the death-bed
conversion of a lot of forces which for
merly were either hostile or Indifferent to CO.
operative marketing, but which now are most
eager in their professions of Endorsement and
support.
They have seen 1t work.
They know it is a good thing NOW, and
they are quite anxious to get the band
wagon.
Well, that is fine, for no movement, no en-
terprise can ever reach the point where in
crease of support is not helpful.
Those who have planned and worked day
and night and who have sweated blood and
who have risked their regulations for the
cause may smile quietly at the hurrahs of
these new converts, but nonetheless they are
glad to have them.
The only question is How strong will
these new friends be If adversely should
come?
VIII they measure up then to the needs of
the situation, or will they turn tail and run?
You know, there is nothing in this world 1t
matters not how sound or how worthy, that
Is immune to adversely. Our churches have
their enemies, our government Is assaulted both
from within and from without; our greatest
businesses have their times OF stress and
trouble.
Cooperative marketing is sound in princi-
pie; 1t works magnifcently when it Is handled
efficiently and honestly and is kept free from
politics. But 1t has its bitter enemies.
These enemies are not lacking in strength
or ability financial means. They may be
lying low, like "Brer Rabbit" and saying
nothing now, but you may be quite sure they
are not done
And when these enemies start determined
onslaught, with their full resources in action
as they are certain to do, sooner or later
what will become of these new-found friends
OF cooperative marketing?
Will they turn tail and flee, or will they
stand firm during the fray?
The successful organization campaign of
the Georgia Peanut Growers association
adds another strong cooperative to the list of
Georgia associations. It's success was fore
ordained when Colonel Robert E. i. Spence,
of Albany, and other distinguished and be-
loved citizens of south Georgia launched the

Collection of
Souvenirs Shown

A collection of large copper pen
MES. souvenires of the celebrated
Calumet mine in Michigan, are on
exhibition in the window of the How
ard Studio. They were collected by
Mr.. Howard on a trip to the west
last July and with them he has placed
SAMPLES of the ore, showing veins
of silver as well.
Mr.. Howard described the island
upon which the mine is situated as a
large one. in Lake SUPERIOR. Stand
ing upon a large hill on this island,
the vegetation seems to be all
brown, and in two large towns there,
having a population together of near
~ as much as Augusta he did not
see a white house. With one eXcep-
ton thew were brown and that one
was grey.
The mine from which the copper
of these coins was mined is $500
feet deep and has already paid
dividends amounting to s200.O00,O0O.
1t is situated in a section of coun-
try that seems to be all copper.
Every little way about the country
one will come upon boulders that are
nearly pure copper. They are large,
weighing often many tons and are so
nearly pure copper that they are
worthless as they cannot be crushed
to be refined. This paradox is do to
the fact that the copper is SO hard
that the stamping machines cannot
break it up as they do when there
is stone mixed in with the cop
ner.
These pennies made of the copper
are manufactured there for sale to
tourists. Some of them are much
larger than silver dollar and others
are about the size of the old United
States penny. There are about
eight or ten of them. and they have
the shine of a newly minted penney.
