nro,oh the winter and early spring,
I.n is turned under and the land

liking this gain in fertility.
Ths Terrell County Agricultural
n.arJ has recommended the planting

Treatment is easy and simple. Ask

Then YOU need make no mistake.
Georgia specially needs two things;
t,rger annual incomes for her farm
ers and enough good farmers with
Caoital to come into the state to culti-
v9te her idle lands. Sowing harry
yetch to make corn pay will help to
supply both needs.
Hairy vetch makes corn profitable
CROP The farmer who uses it need not
send his cotton or tobacco money out
side the state to buy grain for his
work stock, but can use the money at
home for other purposes.
Georgia's average yield OF y bush

skiIlful farmers with capital from To-
eating on our idle lands. 1t indicates
to the home seeking farmer poor soil
and unfavorable climate or both.
The yield may be increased in a
single wear to 80 bushels an acre by
the use of hairy vetch and to 40 BUSH
els or more by using moderate guam
titv of fertilizer on the vetched land.
Such Yields will attract attention OF
home seekers from all over the corn
belt and be a strong inducement for
them to locate in Georgia.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Cole have
returned from Madison where they
attended a meeting of the Madi-

and Mrs. Joseph Schafer. Former
President E. A. Birge gave the ad-
dress. The Madison visitors also
heard President Glen Frank of the
university give his first formal ad
dress to the faculty and students.
The burden of what the president
said was that after leaving school
the young men and women may
specialize but they should not per-
nit themselves to become special
lists, that is, not to know anything
outside of their particular line. He
made a warm plea for the read
ing of books-not to shut out the
world of books. DR.. Frank is a
wonderful speaker, earnest, sin
cere, clear and pleasing.

Happy Reunion
Follows Trip to
Sheriff Neitzel

Many of the trips made by Sher-
if H. C. Neitzel do not have hap
ply ending for the Parties concern
ed but here is one at least in which
"they all lived happily ever after.
The sheriff made trip to Beloit
yesterday with warrant for Louis
Bouger, charging wife desertion.
Bouger married a Sank county girl
Miss Lula Meyers, last June and
after living with her only three
months, he departed. The couple
had been living in Poynette, Bouger
being a tailor by trade. Accord
ing to Sheriff Neitzel he might be
termed travelling tailor" at any
rate his travels took him to Beloit,
where he was taken into custody
by the Baraboo official.
Brought back to Baraboo and con
fronted by his wife, it occurred to
him that travel has no attractions
to compare with home and wife
and the couple was happily reunit-
ed, their pleasure at seeing each
other again being quite evident.

Wears. Whole
Wardrobe When
Taken to Jail

Sheriff Herman C. Neitzel was
called to the vicinity of the spur
track of the Island Wooden mill on
Friday afternoon to investigate the
case of man, who was reported to
have been lying out in the snow
all day. While the man had built
a small fire this seemed quite mad
equate for the cold weather but
when the sheriff had interviewed
the man, he found that he was
wearing an entire winter wardrobe
and managing, to keep warm after
his own methods, if not those APP
proved by hygiene and rules of
health.
Taken to the jail by Sheriff Nett
eel the apparently big, burly fellow
started to remove his clothing and
thereupon he shrunk in size by
many degrees. He wore three
suits of underwear, two wooden
shirts, a vest, a sweater, two suit
coats, and two overcoats, in addi-
ton to. cap, mittens and overshoes.
The Knight of the Road will re-
main with Mr.. Neitzel for a few
days, awaiting an investigation of
his case.

DEPEW Tells
OF CHRISTMAS
so Years Ago
First Thrill He Re
members Was time
He Received First
Gold Watch

| Copyright 1926 by United Press)
Chauncey M. Depew, veteran
railroad man and fnancier, still
keen and active at % years Of age
remembers a gold watch and sled
as marking the high spots in his
Christmas as youth In an ex-
elusive interview with the United
Press in New York, he tells of
the holidays of four score years
ago.
"Up in northern Westchester
county, where was born, among
those of French Hugenot stock"
said Depew, Christmas was not
the day of presents and general
thanksgiving that is was among
those of English descent. The old
school minister of our Presby-
terrain church always preached
sermon on Christmas to prove that
the 25th of December was not the
proper date and that Christ was
born in April.
"The Episcopalians, on the 9th
err hand, and their congregations,
celebrated it then as they do now.
| am speaking of conditions so
odd years ago, when I was a boy
over 10 years of age
New Years Day, however, was
the great day of the year among
our people. 1t was the day when
presents were exchanged and
stockings hung up in the fireplaces
the night before were gleefully
and joyfully examined on New
Years morning.
"The red letter Christmas Of
ell the others was the one when
/ found in the toe Of the stocking
my first watch
at was a gold watch and ! eX-
amined it every 10 minutes for a
long time to be sure what the
time was, though othe. wise time
was of very little difference to me.
"The next present which was
impressed on my memory was a
set of Walter SCOTS novels and
they largely influenced my early
reading, because they were fol-
lowed by Dickens and other auth
ors of that early Victorian period.
"The change that has taken
place in the holiday in my 90
years is that Christmas is now
the universal day for Thanksgiving
for past blessings, for prayers, and
hopes for the future and for the
exchange Of gifts New Years day
is very little celebrated and is
certainly no longer the day Of
hanging up the stocking and its
social and community interchanges
have entirely disappeared"
