for several weeks that the price of
sweet potatoes would be low; how

Jefferson Davis, Hero of the
South. ard of America

T1HE unwilling of monument to Jeffer-
son Davis at Fairview Kentuck, where
he was born century and sixteen
years ago, is one of many witnesses to the
devotion with which the South keeps
his memory green. Far and wide the
never-forgetting Daughters of the Confeder-
acy pay him tribute; while, on the living
granite Of Stone Mountain, a peoples spirit,
guiding the hand of art, carves his epic
| image to loom With Jackson's and Lees.
More honored today than in the heroic
Sixties, and more than ever reTered is the
president of the repub,:o hch has passed
from time to immortality.
NcS is it now in the South alone that the
genius and nobility of Jefferson Davis are
appreciatve of his recent biographers is a
SCARED veteran of Grants, soldier who
fought that the Confederacy might be de-
stroyed, but who has found in its chief mag
istrate statesmen of loftiest stature. Sig
nifcant, too, IS the recent act of Congress,
aut ling a Stone Mountain Confederate
Memorial coin on which, among other super
scriptions, will be a likeness of Jefferson
Davis-"President Davis" as the lamented
Warren G. Harding, in a letter concerning
the mer orial, referred to him. The light of
history shines and conquers for truth.
That Jefferson Davis thus should come
more and more into his own, North as we'll
South, Is no MARVEL for long before he
was a hero of the Confede4-oy, he was a hero
of America. Returning from the Mexican
wa, he was hailed the nation over, as well
he might lie, FIR his exploits at Monterey and
Buena Vista. In the United States Senate
he was towering figure in a group OF per-
haps the ablest man that body ever has
known. AS -tary of war, he exhibited
not only administrative talent Of the highest
order, but also foresight and leadership
which go only with greatness. Even had he
passed fr the stage before the vast drama
Of the Sixties befell, he would be remem-
bered with Americas most gallant soldiers
and most gifted statesmen. AS it is, he
lives unto the ages as one made heroic
through sacrifice, and noble through suffer-
ing.

THE Hi5 70 YOUNG CHICAGO AssAss1Ns
H. FELTON,

IN AY after day the newspapers discuss
} the killing of the fourteen-year-
- schoolboy by two Of his schoolmates,
all under twenty, and the latest criticism
lays the blame on the poor quality of Chca-
90 society Certainly it is an execrable re-
suit. There was surfeit of money, and
the homes magnificent, if the pictures
are genuine. The helpless victim was, by all
odds the superior of the other two, in mind
with one of his captors (also relation by
kinship). The other assassin had to be in
troduced to this youth according to the con-
fessiOns; he was a stranger. 1t may tran
spire that the older boys had been fed up
on movie pictures Of the rabid, violent va
riety, or both might have been intoxicated on
bootleg liquor 1t is still all a mystery
why and where this bloodthirst was prop
agated or originated, in homes which
wealth abounded and there was no incentive
for the crime such as poverty, want, injus-
tice fosters, in degraded minds.
The status of these murderers is a puz-
cling question, when you consider they were
honor students in the colleges they attended.
Does it mean that such education is a
bane and not a blessing? The city of Chi
cago is paying dear price for public school
education if this episode is a sample Of the
quality of the product thus obtained. With
every opportunity to get fine education, the
result is horrible to contemplate. These boy
murderers were evidently possessed with
| devils of the deadly sort.

AS it happened he began poorly. Forth

Yet he thought he had been playing There

To take any game er-seriously-unless
one is engaged in it as a professional, when

is to deprive oneself of its play value.
That should be obvious. Yet. Judging from

On the opposite, there is such thing as

OYSTERS EAT ALL DAY

NEW BRUNSWICK, y. J.-Oysters ap-
parently live TO eat. Professor Thurlow c.
Nelson of Rutgers college, who has made
a study of the lives and diets Of these ia
vored adiuncts Of the diet of man, has
found that eating is their main activity.
AT least it takes up the most of their time.
But they like warm dining room
If the temperature of the water in which
they live is as high as IS degrees Fahren-
heit, Professor Nelson found that the oys-
ters ate about twenty hours a day At
least they kept their shells open and suck
ed the water in through their gills during
that period But a sudden drop in tenn
perature often resulted in a decrease in
the number of hours of activity When the
water temperature fell below 40 degrees,
Fahrenheit. the oysters seemed to lose their
appetite and feeding practically ceased.

There came unto him Womdn having
an aIabaster box of perry precious oint-
ment, and poured it on his head as he sat
at meat But when his disciples saw it.,
they had indignation, saying, "To what
purpose is this WaSte' For this ointment
might have been sold for much, and given
to the poor" When Jesus understood it.,
he said unto them, "Why trouble ye the
voman? For she hath wrought a good

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS
BY MRS.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS
IT. HE year 1924 has been record-break-
er. In all my long lifetime l cannot
remember its equal, or a parallel sea-
son. Cold, heavy blizzard weather in Jan
uary and February. March was bleak and
cold April was like March used to be, and
with May we have had winter fires and
heavy clothing. Floods of rain, torrents,
and lightning filled the last week in May.
June came in with sunshine, but within
twelve hours more storms, more floods, high
winds and destruction.
l had railway ride of twenty-odd miles
on Sunday, June J., and fields planted in
cotton were barren in appearance as in
early April Rarely could you discern a thin
line of pale green in the rows laid off for
cotton production, and then only in most
favored spots where the rain had not drown
ed out the tiny cotton stalks, washed off
the soil in long stretches across the fields.
There should be plenty of cotton blooms
all over north Georgia inside of three weeks
to make any sort of a full crop, but we may
be glad to see cotton blooms in plenty dur
ing the middle of July this year, and with
only half a crop.
The lowlands planted in corn are mainly
drowned out While it is true we can plant
corn and get good results Crowded we do
risk is great that we will make failure if
these drenchng rains still pursue us, or if
the rain disappears and leaves a scorching
drouth in its stead. Truly farming is in
bad luck, and the taxes are enormous.

FISH THRIVE ON WAR

Although war and famine have in recent
years made a fair start at the eXtermlna-
ton Of the human race over large areas,
the races of fish have been immensely bene-
fited. War called many fishermen away
from their nets, famine and revolution dis
organized society and made nets hard to
get and markets uncertain. Fishing de-
clined and the fish have multiplied. This
is particularly the in southern Russia
along the Black sea, where fish are reported
to be larger and more abundant than in
many years. They are likely to continue
So for, owing to the economic dsorganiza-
