The Cereals.

WHAT was the origin of the
cereals now cultivated by the
world as indispensable to human life?
Wheat, rye and barley are supposed
to be the result of long and painstak-
ing judicious effort. Their begin
nings were hard. Human ingenuity,
spurred to effort by the imperative de-
mands of life. was tried to the extrem+
ity before any grain was seen in the
condition first noted by ancient chron-
iclers. The agronomical engineer OF
Caiffa, Palestine, has published some
interesting information in this respect.
During his explorations and re-
searches I'm Syria and Palestine he
found growing spontaneously among
the wild grain of the field prototypes
of the barley. wheat and rye of the
worlds commerce. This is of import
ance to all who believe that the ALI
mentary grains originated in the Holy
Land.
The wild grains found In the fields OF
Syria and Palestine show the charac-
teristic pecuiarities of the barley. rye
and wheat of the commerce of the
Western World.
The wild wheat found i'm Syria
grows in sunny places where the
ground is rocky, thin and poor, II de-
veiops most rapidly where the soil is
most arid Wild rye and barley prefer

culture We're tempted to renounce

cies of grain enduring enough TO be

world. Many generations of expert

food products under conditions that
our modern agriculturists would call

CLIFFORD tried TO figure out the

Rradley was playing for a million.
That million would go first into the
hands of Airline. If the marriage were
merely an impetuous and unpremedi-
tated affair Airline could and would
keep the million for herself. But
Bradley never went into a scheme In
which a person could so easily double
cross him. Bradley had something SD
big on Airline that she was afraid not
to follow his directions. What was
this something which made Bradley
feel safe in trusting Airline Carlisle
with million?

Airline. BY evening he had a faint

DEATH OF MRS. MILLER
BRINGS SADNESS TO CITY

/ One of the most dearly loved wo-
men in her church and among her as
| sociates has been Mrs. Clarence Mil
ler Her life was characterized by
gentleness, kindness and service For
about two years the decline of her
health has been matter of grave
concern to her family and friends,
and the services of specialist in an
other city had been brought into use,
without avail.
On Easter Sunday morning her life
passed out.
AS Laura Kay she was born in Ian
caster, Indiana, in February of 1880,
and while young girl accompanied
her family to Fitzgerald and was
among the early colonists. Her mar
riage with Mr.. C. A. Miller occurred
i'not long after this and their home
was permanently established here. Of
their union there were three sons
born, one having died in early child
/ hood The others are Clifford Paul, of
Chicago, and Willis Kay, of this city.
One sister, Mrs. Marion Aston, of
Macon, and three brothers, Walter
Kay, of Deputy, Ind, and Everett
and Fred Kay, of Newtown, Ind, are
her survivors.
The intermediate department of
the First M. E. Sunday School feel
the loss of their kind and loving SUI
perintendent; the Epworth class of
this school feel the loss of a kind and
genial associate; the church has lost
a consistent and devoted member,
while the loss to her home, where she
was an ideal wife and mother is one
that seems inconsolable.
Attending the funeral services at
the First Nj. E. church on Tuesday at
ternoon were the two fraternal soci-
cites of which Mrs Miller had been a
loved member, the Daughters of Re-
becca and the Ladies of the Macca
bees. The church was more than filled
with the friends of the family, and
lovely floral offerings covered the cas-
ket and the chancel. Mr.. Clifford Mil
Ter, of Chicago, Mr.. Fred Kay, of In
diana. and Mrs. Marion Aston, of
Macon, had arrived for the funeral
services, which were conducted by
Rev. w. C. Mccarthy. assisted by Rev.
Bruce Nay. A quartet choir consisted
of Mrs. H. A. Owens, Miss Myrtis
Corley, and Messrs. /. N. Frey and
Burr Stokes.
Interment was made in Evergreen
cemetery, the pail bearers being
Messrs. A. H. Denmark, David Paulk,
G. C. Petty. C. A Newcomer, W. C.

company has completed the hard sur
facing of the Oglethorpe Highway,
from the Mem orial bridge over the
Satilla to the Alabama creek bridge,

wanted to see finished.
The road is of penetration asphalt
type, three grades of stone being used

STOCK AND POULTRY
BETTER MONEY CROPS
THAN KING COTTON
Decatur County Agent Gives
Convincing Lecture to
School Children

cambridge, April 1S.-Live stock
and poultry will be even bigger mon
ey crops to this generation than cot
ton was to our forefather4 if people
will take the mas seriously as the far
mers did cotton in those days, the
county agent, Dr.. D. E. Sawyer, SAID
in addressing club members on live
stock judging at the Brinson consoli-
dated school on his regular round OF
classes in behalf Of the cow, hog and
hen program in Decatur county, with
boys and girls.
The agent made practical and mn
culling with hens and pullets from a
coop on the stage, and from a large
chart he pointed out the fine points
in live stock judging. Referring to
cows and hens as machines, which
grind what is given them for food
into commercial product, and ii it
is the right kind, and clean, the re-
suits will always be 100 per cent.
The COW, he pointed out, is valuable
on any farm not only for her milk,
cream and butter, and the sour milk
for pigs and chickens, but for her
fertilizing properties as well. He
declared that the cow gives more for
her upkeep than almost any other
animal.
The landscape dotted with pure
bred live stock is as picturesque as
field of cotton and its. monetar!
