Spring poets are getting ripe.
Now, spring poetry is all right,
but the trouble is the poet insists
on having his effervescence pub
lished, and there is where the
wrong comes in. bpnng poetry
is one of those things each one
wants to write for himself. If
you care to keep a man's friend
ship, never ask him to read your
spring poetry when he knows
he has a much better set of ver
ses of his own.
According to an estimate by
Sir John Murray, the total an
nual rainfall upon all the land of
the globe amounts to 20,317.4
cubic miles, and of this quantity
6,524 cubic miles drains off
through rivers to the sea. A cu
bic mile of river water weighs,
approximately, 4,205,650,000 tons
and carries in solution, on the
average, about 420,000 tons of
foreign matter. In all, about 2,
735,000,000 tons of solid substan
ces are thus carried annually to
the ocean. United States Geo

Fer Better Bread.
Little do we think of how much
we are indebted to chemistry for
nearly every manufactured ar
ticle we enjoy. Bread making is
about the last thing ye would
think of as attracting the atten
tion of these tireless workers
among sickening fumes and va
pors; but big bakeries are spend
ing each year enough money to
buy any half-dozen Fulton county
farms in order to find better
methods of making better bread.
The work is being done chiefly,
in our college laboratories, but
the bakers furnish the money for
salaries and machinery. Not
one family in each thousand in
our big cities bake bread, and the
big bakeries that use a carload of
flour every twenty-four hours
can well afford to spend large
sums in order to obtain reliable
information as to best ways to
prepare food for the millions who
daily depend on them for bread.
Township Banks.
On Christmas, 1913, banks were
started in every township in this
county. Deposits continued reg
ularly for three months, until,
had they remained intact, they
would have measured many feet
high. As it happened, few drafts
were made on these banks during
that time, the a c c u m u lated
amounts of deposits going into
the production of grain. These
banks were not supposed to be
permanent, and liquidation began
about the middle of the present
month. By the time this article
reaches our readers most of the
banks will have gone quietly out
of existence. There were very
many runs on some of these
banks during the winter, but no
harm came of the diversion as
the "runs" were made chiefly by
children and those who were
obliged to come to town for sup
plies. The winter of 1913-14 will
long be remembered for its banks
snowbanks.

regular in passage at night. I
felt lame and stiff, and there was
swelling in my limbs and wrists.
I had a doctor at the time, but
his treatment didn't give me
much relief. My brother who

Only Thirty Dollars.
Some of our readers have talk
ed seriously about the advantage
of having a convenient canning
establishment in their midst, but
had no idea of the cost nor what
would be necessary.
We got in touch with a reliable
manufacturer and gave our read
ers the reduced prices he named
We found that for twenty-five or
thirty-five dollars according to
size, he would deliver the furnace
and necessary articles that go
with it for a plant that would
handle one thousand cans a day.
The process of canning by this
method is exactly the same as
when you use your stove and dish
pan or wash boiler. Any woman
who is an expert home-canner
can take hold and use the factory
furnace, even if no instructions
came with it. But full instruc
tions come with every outfit, be
sides many receipts that are eas
ily followed if you never canned
fruit before.
The simplest form is a double
ined sheetiron furnace long
enough to burn four-foot wood,
and is fitted on the top with a
pan to hold water. Three or
four other pan3 fit into this one,
and are furnished with strong
handles, they can be handled
very easily. A lifter for sepa
rate cans is also furnished. In
this way the one who i3 attend
ing to the cooking of the fruit
can keep as many cans going in
one stage of the process as is con
venicnt. Any woman who is ex
pert at canning on a common
stove can do so on these furnaces
but with much more convenience,
and as rapidly as several assis
tants can prepare the fruit A
soldering outfit comes with the
canner, and a smart boy can sol
der them shut at the proper moment.
Think of the thousands of cans
of fruit and berries that could be
preserved and sold in this way if
some one would bring one of
these furnaces into your community.

You may know it, or you may not; but the truth is, that Queen
Quality Shoes are manufactured by the largest Shoe Factory in the
whole United States. The Queen Quality factory makes more
shoes, and sells more shoes than any other. This should be the
best evidence that they sell good goods. If the shoes were not all
that they are represented, to be, the Queen Quality people could
not do the business they are doing. We have handled the Queen
Quality shoes for five years, and our trade in them has grown
steadily with, that of the factory. Now, if you have a hard foot to
fit, come in and let us try to fit you. If we do not happen to have
in stock your size and width, we can get it for you in three or four
days and it will not mean any extra cost to you, either. The prices
