AN OPPORTUNITY.
The Third District Agricultural and Mechanical
School will open Monday, September 15. An unpre
cedented registration is expected, and prospects are
good for the best term in the school’s history.
These district schools afford an opportunity for
the sons and daughters of the farmers of their dis
tricts to prepare themselves for college at a nominal
expense, says the Cordele Sentinel The schools are
not colleges, as they are sometimes erroneously call
ed. but preparatory schools, stepping stones for the
college. Their graduates have made high records at the
state college of agriculture, and experience no trouble
in finding employment at good wages for the demand
for practical, trained agriculturists is great.
Perhaps equally as good as their college prepara
tory work is the training they give the young farm
ers, and the prospective farmers’ wiVes of the future.
The boys are taught both scientific and practical agri
culture, in their various branches, including land prep
aration, fertilization without waste, seed selection,
planting, cultivation and harvesting; also the selection
and care of stock. The girls are taught home econom
ics—bow to look after pantry and dairy, supply the
table econmically and well, and the proper care of th
home. If the boys and girls go no further than the
course taken at these agricultural schools, they will re
ceive information and training which, if they but util
ize to advantage, will prove of inestimable value in
preparation for their life work. ,
When these schools were established, theyy were
regarded as experiments. Even the head of the college
of agriculture, under whose care they were placed,
looked at them as of doubtful utility. Things are
different now. The schools have demonstrated their
worth and are receiving strong support from the state
and national governments, as well as from the peo
ple of the districts in which they are located.
WHAT OF ‘FLU’ THIS YEAR?
Medical experts up and down the country are en
gaging in newspaper debates these days as to whether
or not the nation will experience another epidemic of
influenza this fall and winter. Many say it is sure to
come; others that there is nothing to indicate there
will be a recurrence except in scattered cases. But
that harm can be done in causing the people to fear
another epidemic is the opinion of the Medical Record
which says in its issue of August 23:
“Such agitation only serves to bring about the
very trouble which is to be avoided. This statement
is substantiated by the known fact that a large num
ber of the many deaths which resulted from the pre
vious epidemic were evidently caused by fright, over
exertion, nervous strain and resulting disability.
That some cases of influenza will appear in some
ports of the country will not be a matter of surprise
to us, that it will become so widespread or fatal
as last year is in no manner reflected in any of the
signs noted in our observations, the opinion of adver
tised experts to the contrary notwithstand
ing.
“That a weakened condition and consequent low
ered resistance paves the way for influenza is shown
by th'e experiments made in the navy on 1,000 vol
unteers who offered themselves for this experiment.
“These men were in the best of physical con
dition and during the experiment their health was
looked after carefully. Live cultures of influenza
bacilli were sprayed into their throats and noses hour
ly. The germs were kept in close contact with pa
tients suffering with the disease, and in order to ob
viate any possible individual immunity to one particu
lar strain the contacts were alternated frequently.
Some members of the group received various pre
ventive inoculation, but others were not thus pro
tected. Not a single case of influenza was developed.”
That the agitation for an appropriation by con
gress to combat the coming epidemic in advance is
in itself harmful, is the opinion of Dr. John P. Davin.
# cf New York, who expresses it this way:
“Congress has recently been asked for a million
and a half of dollars to combat a possible or imagin
| ary epidemic of this kind. Except for the fact that
appropriations are always in order there is no real
for this expenditure at the present time. If it is
k Rippimgßhymes’?

LIFE ON MARS.
J HAVE heard a learned professor say that Mars
has living folks, while another gifted guesser
1 hailed his arguments as jokes. And they fussed
around. and wrangled like a pair of locoed cats,
and they got their wires all tangled, and grew sore
I beneath their hats. Some indorsed the learned pro
fessor. held as gospel his belief, soipe stood up for
t'other guiisser, helping him to yawp and beef. And
the row beefeme a riot, so the whole bunch went
to jail, where they had a frugal diet that was void
of toast on quail. You may climb the highest steeple
with a telescope in hand, and you cannot tell if peo
ple drill around on Martian land. There’s no earthly
way of proving if inhabitants are there; so your ar
guments, though moving, are but piffle and hot air.
So we waste the moments precious, chewing rags
the livelong day, letting habits vain enmesh us, when
we should be baling hay. Whether Mars has peo
ple on it, I protest, we’ll never learn; but this world
of ours, doggone it, has inhabitants to burn; here
they are, where Nature flung them, on a prehistoric
day, and our work is here among them, not a bil
lion leagues away. ' - *
good policy ‘never to say good morning to the devil
till yoif met him' how much more important it is in a
matter of this kind not to run after him in order to offer
him your salutations in advance of his appearance.”
£ What Other Editors Say
AUTHOR TO RUN FOR CONGRESS.
John Kendrick Bangs is a primary candidate to
succeed Louis B. Goodall as a member of congress
in his Portland, Me., district—Tom Reed’s old baili
wick. This is not his first experience in politics, for he
was the Democratic candidate for mayor in Yonkers
in 1894 and—to use his own laconic expression—was
“defeated.” He told about it in his book, “Three
Weeks in Politics.”
But that's neither her e nor there. John Kend
rick Bangs is a humorist who is trying to break into
politics.
“1 wish I were beginning life all over again,”’
said the Idiot one spring morning, as he took his
accustomed place at Mrs. Pedagog’s table. ,
And now the author of “The Idiot” has a chant e
to begin life all over again and the fact that he was
at one time the associate editor of Life may or may
not help him. But, after all, if he gets into the real
life of politics will he be so very far from real
humor? Some regard life as a joke and some look
upon politics as thejaiggest joke of all.
And at once there is suggested that convivial
night session in the English House of Common when
Pitt and Dundas, sometimes under the scandal of ap
pearing there in a hilarious condition, furnished the
excuse for the historic epigram.
Pitt—l cannot see the speaker, Hal; can
you?
Dundas —Not see the speaker! Damn me, I
two!
—Brooklyn Eagle.
j A Bit of This and That
WOMEN CAN BUY IMPROVEMENTS.
“Don’t grumble because you haven't conveniences
and improvements in your home. Get busy canning
and buy them.”
This is the ad ice a member of one of the Florida
home club gives to any woman who wants to better her
weight is that this Orange county member prac
tices what she preaches. Two years ago she learned
tc can. The home demonstration agent of the coun
ty taught her how to put her products in jars so
they would look attractive, have a delicious flavor, and
keep well. That ytar with the profits made from her
canning she bought a gasoline engine, which is used
to furnish power for the water system and to run
’♦he, washing machine.
In 1918 she sold 2,000 large cans of tomatoes to
a West Palm Beach grocery and added two more
rooms to her home. She then bought paint and ap
plied it herself, inside and outside the house. This
year she has a standing order for 4,000 cans of to
matoes, and she plans still greater improvements in her
home. During this time she has also kept her own
pantry shelves well supplied.
PAPER FROM COTTON HULLS.
As a result of experiments conducted bv the For-
O
est Products Laboratory, United States Department of
Agriculture, a good grade of paper is being produced
in commercial quantities from cotton-hull fiber. Pulp
made from second-cut cotton linters and hull fiber,
the forest specialists say, is well suited for the man
ufacture of book, writing, printing, blotting, cover,
and other high grades of paper, and is equal in quality
to the highest grades of paper stock.

ARE YOU A MAKER
OR A BREAKED?
Every young man is either one or the other. If he is wise
enough to save regularly—buy War Savings Stamps; start a
savings account—he is a MAKER. But if he is content to
shuffle through life, spending his money foolishly, and fail
ing to look wisely into the future, he is b BREAKER.
LET’E BE MAKERS! The man who saves, stays on top. And
YOU can be that man! Save First; Spend Afterward is a
good maxim to follow.
