JUMPS FROM HIS ENGINE
New York, Dec. 22.?Jerry Driscoll,
a locomotive fireman on Staten
Island, was congratulated as a
here today. While his train traveled
at twenty-five miles an hour
he jumped from the engine into a
creek and saved the life of Will?am
Alexander, a school boy, who
had been struck by the eneine and
thrown into fifteen, feet of wateiy
The boy died later, however, in a
hospital.
The train had gone ahead almost
a mile before the engineer missed
Driscoll and when he stopped and
hacked up, he saw the fireman sit,
ting at the edge of the creek, holding
the boy, who was unconscious from
a fracture of the skull. Persons who
saw the rescue said Driscoll dived
four times before he found the boy,
who sank immediately.
CHRISTMAS ACCIDENT
Bennie Davis, son of Mr. Frank
Davis, deceased, accidentally discharged
his shot gun Saturday evening,

ONE FARMER NOT AFRAID
OF BOLL WEEVIL
From The Monroe Journal:
Mr. B. W. Laney, of Buford township,
made this remark to us a few
days ago: "The boll weevil is not
going to hurt the farmer who has j
been getting ready for his comingl"
Mr. Laney got interested in better
cattle about seven years ago, pur- j
chased a pure bred bull and later
purchased a pure bred heifer of the
same breed He has been improving
his herd by the use of goodl sires until
now, and his income from his cows
is about equal to his income from his
cotton, and he is not growing any less
cotton, than he did before he oegan
keeping cows.
Whether we want to do it or not [
we have got to adjust our agriculture
to boll weevil conditions and the sooner
we begin the better for us. Another
thing we can do this coming
year and one that we should have
done long ago, and would have done
but for cotton, that is made a pas-j
ture for the cows. To dk> this the]
land should be broken now, and sowed t
in February or March. Select a good i
piece of land, land that will grow j
good corn will grow good grass, break .
it now if dry enough to plow, when
the land gets dry in February or
March, sow ten pounds of herd grass (
ten pounds of orchard grass, four 1
pounds white clover, and seven'
pounds of Japan clover per acre, and
then forget it for a year and you will
hnve a good pacture. Three acres of
good land will graze four or five cows.,
The suggestions outlined may not be

DEBS AND HARDING
HOLD CONFERENCE
Washington, Dec. 26.?Eugene V.
Debs, the Socialist leader whose tenyear
prison sentence for violation of
the Espionage Act was commuted on
Christmas Day, came here today direct
from the Atlanta federal penitentiary
and called upon President
Harding and Attorney General
Daugherty.
Mr. Daugherty said' that Debs came
of his own "volition," while Debs det
lared his visit to Washington was at
the "request" of the Attorney General
and that he was given a railroad 1
ticket to the capital by the warden of
the penitentiary without choice of
destination, although he had planned
to go immediately to his home at

Use milk. Use it freely. A quart a
day for every child is not too muqih,
and each should have at lsast a pint.
Plenty of milk gives your children
the chance for health they ought to have.
It helps them to grow, to keep
well, and to build strong, vigorous
bodies. Grown-ups, too, will And it
wholesome and desirable; while In ]
old age, with the need1 of ample fare, *
milk is commonly and largely depended
upon. Wholesome, readily digested,
and containing valuable nutritive material,
milk is greatly depended upou 1
in the diet of the sick and the convalescent.
A mother having the responsibility
of the development and R
nourihsment of an nfant should usek
a quart of milk a day in order ioB'
meet this additional physical demand. |
Use milk for strong, bones, teeth,
and muscles. Milk gives us protein
for building muscles and other body
tissues. It also gives us calcium (limo)
which is needed for our bones and
teeth, and for other uses. Protein and
lime are also repairing our bones and
muscles and other body tissues which
are used and replaced as a result of
normal wear and tear of our bodiep.
Well-developed muscles and strong,
well formed bones and teeth are just
as essential for a strong body as are
good materials and good construction
for a well-built engine. Strong,
healthy teeth are not onl*
health, but they also racist decay.
Milk should not be the only food for .
children. Fruits, vegetables, cereal
grains and their products, as well as j
butter and limited amounts of other
wholesome fats, eggs, and similar
foods, should be used to form a wellrounded
diet. The diet of many American
families consists too largely of |
meat, potatoes, white bread and cof.
fee. All these are low in lime. On
that dental clinca are increasingly
that dntal clinics are increasingly ,
necessary in our public schools. A
quart of milk contains as much lime !
as 28 pounds of beef, 23 pounds of ,
potatoes, or 9 pounds of w^it* bread.
Milk helps you grow and keep well. ,
Recently it has been found that in ]
addition to the substances we have i
ionig been familiar with certain foods, <
including milk, contains other sub- ,
stances necessary for normal growth 1
and development. These are commonly
dalled "vitamines."' Unless our i
food supplies them, under-develop- ,
ment and iiiness will result, which ]
le&uii, may cccome serious or fatal i
if the deficiency is long continued, It <
is generallybelieved that if fat soluble {
A, one of the vitanunps, is lacking, j
growth is checked and liability to se. j
rious eye diseases and other infec- i
tions and diseases is increased. In
water-soluble E is not supplied, body 1
development is hindered and diseases j
develop more easily. A lack of a <
third vitamine, water-soluble C, may
be a cause of scurvy and some of i
those common infections to which <
teeth are subject. Milk is rich in fat- '
soluble A (particalarly whole milk, '
cream and butter), and it also sup- i
plies some water-soluble B and fresh
milk, especially contains some water- ]
soluble C. Here are added reasons for t
considering milk an important food
for all, but particalarly babies and 1
for growing boys and girls. ]
Milk gives us energy and strength. <
It supplies energy for the needs of <
the infant's body, and adds to the fuel 1
food of the child and the adult. Milk |
fat and sugar (typical fuel foods) are ]
both found in milk. A quart of whole
milk contains J14 ounces pf fat, The '
milk sugar in a quart of either skim
milk of whole milk should fill three
tablespoonfuls. Milk proteins also add <
to the fuel supply. A dollar spent for i
different kinds of food does not yield I
a like quantity of fuel in all cases, 1
any more than does a dollar spent i
for wood, coal, gas, or electricity, i
Milk is a reasonably cheap source of <
body fuel, I
Use clean milk. For health's sake 1
it in important that milk should be I
fresh, clean and wholesome. If you t
produce your own* milk, see that the i
cows are healthy and1 clean. Keep the 1
milk clean, cold and covered, If you <
buy milk, be sure that it is clean. 1
Your board of health can help you in j
this. If you are uncertain of your
milk supply, it is safest to use pasterized
milk.
Use All dairy products,milk, butter, 1
cheese and buttermilk, and ice cream.
Use them as part of the regular meal,
not merely as an addition to it. Milk
and its products are among the best
foods we have,

SOIL NITROGEN
How It Is Conserved end Replenished
by Nature
Cleirjion College, Dec.?When we
consider how very easy it is for nitrogen
to escape from the soil it is not
surprising that it is the highest priced
of all fertilizing materials. Even at
that, however, the price is higher than
it need be, for nature manages to
maintain the supply in every tract of
wild land without importing fertilizers
from abroad, and we would profit
by adopting more of Nature's meth
oda.
Nature uses two methods for maintaining
the supply. First, she conserves.
Whenever a leaf becomes of
no use to a tree it is shed and falls to
the ground. Similarly, other waste mateiials
fall to the ground and become
part of the soil. Stated briefly, Nature's
method of conserving nitrogen
is to return all waste materials to the
soil very soon/ after they become
wastes. This feature has a great deal
to do with her ability to increase the
fertility of the soil which runs wild.
But even nature is unable to return
all of the nit:ogen to the soil
in chape to b" of use to ',\ants. There
is inevitably some loss even here.
Consequently she must have tome
means of replenishing the soil supply
or eventually the ."soil would be com
pletely exhausted. This replenishing
is accompli-thd chiefly by certain
lowly plants, which have the
unusual ability of taking nitrogen
irom xne lrvexnaustible supply in the
air and using: it in the same way
that other plants use the soluble
supply in the soil. When they die
most of the nitrogen thus secured
from the air is added to the soil.
These are said to be "nitrogen-fixing"
plants; and the most important
ones from this standpoint are certain
bacteria.
There are two general types of
bacteria which "fix" nitrogen. The
bacteria of one type lie in ordinary
soils. The other type comprises the
"legume" bacteria, or "nodule," bacteria,
so-called because they grow in
the roots of legumes (clovers, beans,
peas, etc.) and cause round galls or
nodules to develop. This method of
growth is mutually favorable, for
the laguma furnishes a good place to
grow and food of one kind to the
bacteria and the bacteria furnishes
nitrogen to the legume. ' The amount
of nitrogen so furnished is often very
great, as may be observed by noting
the difference in size of legumes
with and without nodules on a. soil
poor in nitiogen. And the amount
of nitrogen available for succeeding
plants where legumes are returned to
the soil is very great, as may be
observed by planting crops after legumes
have been plowed under. This
is the most important source of nitrogen
for the soil, either in nature or
under cultivation.
A small amount of combined or
"fixed" nitrogen is added to the soil
n rain water and snow, but the
amount is ccmpartively unimportant
Farmers have still another method,
not used by nature, by which they
can increase the nitrogen supply.
They can apply commercial nitrogen.
This is expensive but has special
calue under some circumstances, ana
jhould be used in most cases to supplement
and not to take the place of
he other sources mentioned.
The most effective measures for
maintaining soil nitrogen on the
farm as well as in nature, are careful
conservation, utilization of the work
af soil bacteria, and utilization of
the work of legume bacteria. And
the legume bacteria are the most important
of all.
NEST EGGS OF NAPHTHALENE
INEFFECTIVE AGAINST LICE
Nest oggs made of naphthalene,
claimed or suggested by manufacturers
to be destroyers or repellants or
lice, might be bad eggs rather than
"lice exterminating eggs," "lice killing
nest eggs," and "medicated nest
eggs," for they do not seem to inconvenience
the lice or mitas, but
they do have a bad effeot on the fowls
that sit on them. In fact the entomo
logists of the United States Department
of Agriculture who have examined
and tasted these socalled
"eggs" say that they are very injurious
to fowls, but not in a single case
were they found effective against the
parasites, Even the nest boxes in
which they were placed remained
badly infested with mites and they
were frequently observed crawling
over the naphthalene eggs.

PEACE ON EARTH
To look back upon the past year,
and see how little we have striven,
and to what small purpose, and how
often we have been cowardly and
hung back, or temerous and rushed
unwisely in; and how every day and
all day long we have transereaaed th?
law of kindness; it may seem a paradox,
but in the bitterness of there
discoveries a certain consoU ion resides.
Life is not designed to minister to a 1
man's vanity. He goes upon his long
business most of the time with a
hanging head, and all the time like a
child. Full of rewards and pleasure
as it is, so that to see the daybreak or
the moon rise, or to meet a friend, or
to hear a dinner call when he is hun- y
gry, fill him w'tli surprising joys?
this world is yet for him nor abiding
city. Friendshps fall through, health
fails, weariness assails him; year af- 1
ter year he must thumb the hardly J
varying record of his own weakness
and folly.
It is a friendly process of detachment.
When the time comes that he
should go, there need be few illusions
left about himself. Here lies one who
meant well, tried a little, failed much;
surely that may be his epitaph, of
which he need not be ashamed. Nor
