Higher Wages Sought.

The decision of trainmen to demand re-
turn to the war time wage schedules fore
casts possible struggle between tlIe rail
roads and their employees, with the public
reminded that strike threats may be made as
in former years The increase to be asked
by the workers would total more than $25,-
000,0OG year, and would if granted, affect
more than 100000 men. This. OF course,
would cut down the net operating revenue
OF the railroads. and the lines that have not
been enjoying the fair return Of 534 per cent
are sure to protest Meanwhile the public
wonders when, il ever, lower freight rates
may be had. In view OF the certain demand
for higher wages on the part Of the trainmen
it may be said that the chance for reduced
rates is considerably dimmed.

Why MIR. Coolidge Is Popular.
From the Review of Reviews.

It is no wonder that President Coolidge is
popular He is using the power of govern
ment to rescue the people from the exactions
and miseries of an undue exercise of govern
ment power He has assured US that he would
do his best to reduce the well nigh ntoler-
able burden of war taxation that survives
in a period of profound peace He has urged
u.s. meanwhile, to put forth our best efforts
through industry, personal and family thrift,
and the exercise of private initiative in eco
nomic matters-to restore high average OF
general prosperity. There many evidences
that this salutary advice has been taken with
excellent results. There has been discovered
in Calvin Coolidge genius for plain common
sense The country has undoubtedly come to
feel strong confidence in his purposes and
the trend of his convictions. All this is not
because Mr. Coolidge is a down east Yankee
and a republican in politics. He might have
been a democrat from Arkansas and shown
the same shrewd qualities of cautious, well
balanced judgment.

Growing Corn in Georgia.
From the Sandersville Progress.

Under the present system of farming in
Georgia requires about one hundred acres
to produce a thousand bushels of corn. With
improved methods of cultivation and fertili-
cation thousand bushels can be produced
on twenty acres A Washington county farm
er has produced 1170 bushels on fifteen acres,
or an average of 70 bushels per acre There is
plenty more land in Washington county
which can be made to produce just as good
yields 1t looks like folly to cultivate a hun
bred acres when one-ffth OF that area can
be made to yield as much But it is being
done, and will continue thus until more in
tensive methods are adopted. And when it is
done our people can ride in Cadlacs and
Lincolns instead of Fords.

Choosing a Father.

III. before coming into this world, | could
have chosen my father and have chosen him
with all the understanding that | have today,
he is the man / would have chosen for my
father" said a well-known man the other
day, speaking at his fathers funeral. What
ever | have inherited from him." he continu-
ed ''in strength, or health, or gifts or un-
Outstanding of life count as more precious
than all the riches OF the world" This is a
remarkable tribute, if, indeed, it is not the
perfect tribute
There is something in this tribute for ev-
cry father to think about. Any father who
can come to the end of life and merit such
tribute as this from his son surely can count
himself fortunate 1t is a high prize, more
TO he esteemed than fame, or riches, or the
preferment of men. Thus it is to be success
full as a father, and no less. To win the prize
compensates, at the last, for much sacrifice
and self-denial.
How many men, if they had power to
choose their fathers, fortified by sober ma
turity and the understanding that goes with
it, would choose the fathers that providence
has bestowed upon them? 1t is impossible
TO answer the question, of course, but judged
by what even the least observing among us
know concerning the relationships OF faith
ers and sons many sons would choose dill
ferently. For it is the misfortune of fathers,
from time to time, to suffer the, disapproval
of their sons Too often do they fail to win
the respect and affection OF their sons, often
times as the result of their own unworthl-
ness and again through no fault of their
own. Many lions beset the way OF the tath-
er who would be hero to his son. Indeed,
fatherhood is one OF the acid tests of char
acter, and unless character shall assay pune
gold no father can hope to win the prize of
his sons high esteem.
What pity it is that fathers should fail
in this high privilege and be, accounted UNI
worthy of their sons, but how glorious it is
to discover a son standing beside his faith
ers grave and declaring that his father was
the best man he ever knew, and that il
choice had been left to him he would have
chosen no other A verdict like that makes
life worth while and the burden of it light.

Upward Surge of Women.
From the Boston Post.

The appearance of Miss Susan Brandeis,
elder daughter OF Mr. Justice Brandeis, be-
fore the supreme court of the United States
recently was still another interesting Incl
dent in the surge OF women toward high ca
reers in this country Of late. Miss Brandeis
IS known to have a fine mind and a first class
legal equipment, and she does herself and
her distinguished father proud by her &C
complishments She is not, however, the
first woman to appear before the black robed
gentlemen at Washington as has been err
ropeously stated. That distinction was held
by Marilla NJ Kicker, the famous woman
lawyer Of Dover, n. H. and Washington
OF whom Robert G. Ingersol once said that
had she been man she would become chief
justice OF the United States She was adj
mitted to practice before the bar OF the high
tribunal IS years ago.

Would Be Great for Georgia.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.

The Donalsonvills News notes that 80
carloads of hogs have been shipped out
OF Seminole county this year. That, per-
haps, is the record for the state. Semi
mole is Georgia's newest county, and has
justified its creation by development and
progress along all lines. The farmers
there do not make cotton their principal
crop, and the result is they have plenty
of hog and hominy and variety OF
products for sale.-Dawson News.
1t would be a great thing for Georgia i
every county in the state would raise enough
meat to have some to ship outside. 1t would
be great thing if each county would raise
only enough to supply the needs of the peo-
pie of that county, but if they could do thi;
and still have some to ship, Georgia would
not have to import any meat and the large
sums of money going out of the state fol
pork at present would remain here and be
devoted to the development of our other re-
sources and the further enrichment of oul
people.

maybe offered for this purpose.
The firelesse gas range, like the
Others, is made in various styles to
fit almost every need. 1t differs
from the conventional range in the
extent to which the oven walls are
insulated, and is usually equipped
with hampers that close both the
front intake opening for the oven
burner and the discharge opening
that leads to the flue. In some
ranges there is only single dam
per to close the flue opening. The
fireless range has a. thick layer OF
mineral wool, or other heat-resist-
ing material, inside all its walls.
When the fireless oven and the
food in it have been sufficiently
heated, the gas can be shut off and
the hampers closed so as to lock up
the heat that is in the oven, after
which cooking is continued with
the retained heat. 1t Is from the
fact that cooking can be continued
after the gas is shut off that this
device is called fireless range,
and since the oven burner is lighted
for only a part of the total cooking
period. considerable gas is saved.
The oven of a fireless range may
be operated just like any other gas
oven. and even then will use gas
economically because of it's con.
struction. In certain styles of fire
less ranges top stove cookery may
also be completed with retained
heat through the use of an insu-
lated hood or dome placed above

whether or not this is correct. Is
1t better to measure and then sift,
or sift flour. and then use from
that?
It is always advisable to sift
white flour and then measure that.
but it is not wise TO sift flour and
then keep it in quantities to be
measured from. The purpose Of
sitting flour before measuring Is
to loosen it and prevent its becom-
ing packed. If 1t is sifted some
time before measuring, it win have
a tendency to settle down and be-
come more compact. Therefore, we
advise sitting flour just before
measuring. Then if the recipe calls
for flour to be sifted three or four
times, these siftings may be done
after measuring flour which has
been sifted once
