Famous scholars, we are told, have sold the coats from their backs to buy books. Jst such a thirst for educa tion possesses scores and hundreds of girls who leave our common schools each year, but who, for the lack of money, are unable to continue their training at a college. Gifted and am bitious, they would profit immeasura bly from a four-year course at some high institution of learning and would come forth to bless and brighten their community. Their parents are like wire eager to give them wider oppor tunities, yet because of financial cir cumstances their wish is never realiz ed. To provide practical means fo meet ing such situations, Brenau college at Gainsville has begun a movement to raise a loan fund of fifty thousand dol lars, the interest of which wtll be used in aiding young women to complete their education. This is a timely and constructive cause that should appeal to the people of Georgia and the entire south. Brenau college is known far and wide as a school that is earnestly de voted to human and social service. Its purpose has ever been to equip its stu dents for life, and to strengthen and illumine the interests of the home. It stands eminently for service through culture. It this effort, therefore, to extend its opportunities to worthy girls without means of their own, the college is earning out its ideals and those of every other deserving institution in a definite and practical manner. The establishment erf this loan fund will mean a vast deal to the cause of edu cation generally, and to the good of the state. The beginning of the move ment is heartening. It is understoood that in Gainsville a subscription of ten thousand dollars is assured if the re mainder of the fund is contributed. To anyone who is willing and able to give to the cause of education, ahis movement offers a rich opportunity. I c is to be hoped that the entire fund will be speedily forthcoming. Atlan ta Journal. A New Bread for the Army. Field bread, so-called, because it will be issued to soldiers in the field wh ensoft bread cannot be served, has been adopted by the army a sa sub stitute for hard tack. This bread is cooked in 'the field ovens and can be transported much easier than ordi nary fresh . bread. It will materially reduce the cost of the maintenance of a narmy in the field, is declared to be more palatable than hard bread, and, most important of all, it will material ly promote the health of the troops. This bread is described as a type of fresh bread with thick crust, which is made as soft and pliable as possible, but strong enough to protect it in the rough handling it receives in trans portation in wagons and railroad cars. It should retin its freshness and pal atability from seven to 15 days, do pendent entirely upon its preparation. Washington Dispatch. Why Not Concentrate on Farms? Discussing the high cost of living and the present commercial outlook James J. Hill, '.'empire builder of the northwest," declared that one factor was found in the fact that whereas a few years ago the man on the farm supported himself and one man In the city, now he was called upon to feed two men in the cities and fell a little short of doing it. While the parallel may be a trifle overdrawn it has sufficient truth to give additional emphasis to the "back to the land" movement- It iB true that for the past decade an da half, partic ularlyfi in the east and noth, the trend has been steadily toward the develop ment of industry at the expense of ag ricutlure . The gaze of the nations has been on its cities. Each one of the cities in turn has plumed itself on the showing to be made in the census, with the fu rore far expension and annexation ruling the program and the foreign visitor asked to admire the rate at which American municipalities attain proportions . Why not turn some of this mental and physical energy to the country? Why not let cities, state and nation begin to exercise in the development of the rural districts a degree of in terest commensurate to that taken in the spreading of city boundary lines, and the up-piling of urban poulation? Good roads, ruraf free delivery, the telephone, the trolley and prospective parcels post make the country a good place to live in, level mna yof the handicaps against which it formerly struggled as against the city. With the passage of time these agencies will increase in influence, turning a great er vclume of population to the rural districts and bringing more comforts and luxuries in their train. But the process could be accelerat ed if every man now boosting for a present or putative metropolis gave a portion of his proselying ability to rousing interests in the country, to preaching the advantages of life in the country and the inducements of agri culture as a producer of steady in come and robust health. By and large, we have become a na tion obsessed with a number of and size in cities. We are forgetting that the backbone of the city is the "hin terland," if that term may be thus ap plied, of broad producing acres that feed urban millions and provide raw material for manufactures.. It is time to re-apportion cur enthu siasms,, and especially for the state and federal government to concentrate their forces to the end of bringing the farm into the limeMght equally with the city. We shall be called upon to deal with the problem of the high cost of ilving and of glut in city population, until we take effective cognizance of this fundamental principle. Atlanta Constitution.

Don't Cook Three Hot Meals a Day. We are also opposed to cooking three hot meals a day. One is enough and two the greatest plenty. Ud North they have baking days, and not more than two or three a week. The rest of the time they eat cold bread. It is much the healthier, and all this hot bread business is simply a matter or habit.
