He was on his way home fro ma trip to Menlow | and Summerville, Ga., where he went with the expectation of pickng up some bargains in land in the boll weevil regions. "The banks are holding up land values :to protect mortgages," was his response to an inquiry as to the success of his venture. "Many farmers," he added, "offpTPf! tn ?r?11 Aiif ^il. 1 ? .. vrv.v iwi ?iui uiey UWL'U, but the amount of their debts was staggering to the intellect of one from this section." Mr. Moore says most of the north GeorgiA farms are bare of hogs and stock. "Men," he continued, "are going about with insufficient clothing on their backs Some haven't enough com to do them through the winter, not considering their stock. 1 know this sounds like an exaggeration to you. X didn't believe the tales of devastation wrought by the boll weevils until (I made this trip. The conditon of those folks pitiful. " Asked if- he intended to farm in the same old way after he had seen the effects of the boll weevil invasion, Mr. Moore said: "I am going to plant but a few acre*, if uny at all, in cotton.

Observe them as they appear on the yard. Choose those that are outstanding appearance. Examine them carefully in detail for under color and surface color, as well as defects and desirable p?fnts concerning comb, wattles, head, feet and legs. Birds intended for exhibition should not be closely confined to the coops for toe great a period, as ths may cause them to lose anp< tife and weight. An effective plan is to allow them range every other day alternately. This should be continued up to within a few days before sending them to the fair. Handle chickens gently?do not frighten them. If they become accustomed to handling they will make a much better appearance. Clean face, comb, wattles, legs and feet by scrubbing, with small brush (a nail brush is good) and plenty of lather. Afterwards moisten a cloth with vaseline and rub over these parts. Do not use enough to soil plumage. Then it is necessary to wash white chickens. Use warm water and pure white soap. Rinse well twice in clean water. This should be done in a warm room. They should not be allowed in wind until thoroughly dry. This should be done early enough to give the birds plenty of time to dry before night. Miss Mary C. Haynie, County Home Dem. Agent. WHEN OLD GLORY DIPS Raymond Poincare, former President of France, says the Chicago Tribune in writng to interpret the spirit and purpose of the United States says: "Have you ever noticed that the l Star Spangled Banner is the only hag in tVw? wide world which does not dip before the head pf a State, a king or a president? That is a little detail, but it is significant?" It is significant, but 90 per cent of the Americans who read it did not know that frhe ideal of their nation had this ritualistic observance. The Hag in the United States is dipped in courtesy to another nation, but never to an individual. If the French colors saluted the American, the hag ,pf the United ?tates jvould return the courtesy, hut it would be n ralute to the French nation. In the United States the nation, even in ritualism, precedes all per Mortalities. The symbol of the nation cannot salute even the President of the United States and cannot salute any other ruler of State. In that fact is the revelation of a principle which has made it possible for the United States to draw it? citizens from nearly every quarter of the world and remain a nation.

MASTER FRANK TEAL ENTERTAINS Monday night at six thirty itic- little ghosts, witches and spooks of all kind came romping out from their hiding places and straight to Master Frank Teal's they went to enjoy their annual Halloween frolic. There they were received by Mother Ghost and without a word they were led through the living room into her den which was made ready fov the fun.
