We certainly hope the young people
will cease to have to do with one
side of American® life—that is the
criminal side.
We are regretful that the highway
officials did not take hold of and en
courage a sensible reorganization o:
the Georgia state highway department
Much good service could have been
rendered in this manner. We must
have this department out of our poli
tics. Might as well go to planning it
—and the politicians are not going
to give itaup if they can avoid doing
sO. We expect progressive handling
of the highway department-expect
that of the board we have and their
associates.

assassin who shot Mussolini’'s nose
off has Dbeen found unbalanced in
mind. She tried to kill herself on a
tormer occasion. Our mind leads us
to believe she wasu't crazy when she
wis shooting at the Italian distator’s
nose. We'll take a guess with vou
that she wasn't a Roman Catholic—
one further—that religious fanatic
ism was at the bottom of this effort
to slay Mussolini.

POOR FITTING CLOTHES
Superintendent Fort E. Land
has denounced the insingation
that was made in the legislature
that the school book trust financ
ed his campaign. He says that
l}i.\' campaign expenses were list
ed and filed with the Compiroller
General. They were made ander
oath and amounted to $1,278.28,
for legitimate expefses and not
a dollar of the unmmn'(-n.nw from
the book trust. We are glad to
gee a scandalous charge like that
» made by the gentleman from
Troup county corrected,—Valdos
ta Times.
The man who jumped on State St
perintendent Fort E. Land of the
schools wears poorly fitting clotees.
He stooped. stooped not to conquer,
but to dishonor the office he holds
as a representative of the people. For!
Land will not have to work very hard
to shake the slander, but the gentle
man from Troup will have to g 2 a
long way before he convinces the e
who heard him—and the people of
the state at large—that he is not the
rascal of the two and Land the gon
tleman
The man who wears the clothes of
an office ol public trust should
should wear them, Such conduct in
the assembly halls ill becomes any
representative of the people. Such a
disposition of hatred, misrepresenta
tion, is never included in the conduct
ol a mad of high purpose and clean
mind. :
We have seen much of a very low
order of animosity and undercover
shenanigin in the atmosphere too
close about the extra session of the
assembly. Governor Walker has some
bitter enemies who have been busy
trying to defeat the good causes pre
sented and urged. ‘These enemies
have been utterly unmindful of the
rights and friendly relationships of
others in their battles for supremacy
-—in their determination to carry ev
ervthing to defeat.
OUR HIGHWAY PLICHT
We do not understand-—we think it
is pure buncombe—why the legisla
ture in both houses has defeated plans
to reorganize the state highway de
partment and go down to paving in
business like manner. It may be
politics—everything is a maze of that
sort of stuff at the state capitol and
it begins to look as though every lit
tle faction would prefer to rule or
ruin. If one faction cannot carry itsl
point, it immediately scts in to pre
vent the other from having its way.
That's human nature in the large.
We unfortunately are not able to es
cape it. And now we go down to—to
—damnation, we suppose, so far as
paved highways are concerned. We
think it highly probable that while
we are writing these lines, the lower
house is defeating the bond issue.
With reorganization defeated, there is
no use of a bond issue.
[Positively the people of Georgia
have a right to protest against fur
ther waste of money—and it would he |
sheer waste to vote seventy million
dollars in bonds and waste them on
rumbling machinery and soft surface
upkeep. We keep on referring to
soft surface upkeep because this
state, according to the chairman of
the highway department, is spending‘
five millions a year on that waste.
And we call it waste because the
county forces can maintain the pres
ent state soft-surtace work for less
than one in ten dollars now going
iLhut way. We have duplicated road
‘machinery till the thing looks like a
pile of graft as high as the rocky
mountains. Nearly every county in
the state has the road \\'()x'kfiu,g mi
chinery a"lremly in hand to take care
of all the soft surface. upkeep. Lo
cal l’orzzq-s can do it at not more thau
one-tenth of what is being spent now.
Five hundred - thousand dolars.will
pay for it and keep up every soft sur
face mile of state highways till it
can be paved. Here alone can he
gaved four to four and a halt million
dollars a year for paving.
Nobody has made an effort to SUVE
it- nobody seems to want to do that
You cannot start a single expression
—not a word from a politician or
highway official anywhere. Well, we
are a little bit of the great Georgia
newspaper force, but we are coing {0
keep on knocking at the soft surface
upleep till we find there is no fur
ther good result to be attained in il.
There isn't a larger waste of public
funds in Georgia today—dare anybody
to find it. Soft surface state high
iwuy upkeep in Georgia is a crimng
i against the intelligence of the aver
age tax payer. There isn's a Ford
owner in Georgia who digs down in
his jeans for the extra gas tax and
the tag for his car who doesn’t make
a daily joke of the soft surtace up
keep on the state highways.
l Well, we don't want any bond issue
ilill we have a highway department

session without one thing—not a

[ waste of it—is intended a hostilit)

HOME EEAUTIFYING
Where it is not possible to huild
the new house on a lot having good
trees, the first step toward an attrac
tive hom= is tree-planting, says a
statement iszied by the United Staics
Department of Agriculture. Even
with trees already established, it
adds, plants of smaller growth are re
quired in addition if a home atmos
phere is to radiate from the liouse. A
proper combination of these gives the
most pleasant result.
The bulletin makes the fcllowing
suggestions:
“Locating the walk and the drive,
if there is to be one, is a necessary
preliminary to planting the grounds.
The lcss conspicious they are the het
ter for the general effect. If the
Louse is close to the street they are
the better for the general effect. 1f
the housz is close to the street a
straight walk is the least obtrusive
and cuts up the lawn less than a
curving one; but if the house is far
ther from the street and the width of
its own front, an unbroken lawn may
be provided by curving the walk from
one corner or ltll.',' othér. When a
drive is needed it may often be nsed
as a substitute for a walk., Walks
and drives should be kept as few in
number and as limited 'in area as con
ditions will permit.
* Proper location of shade trees is
probably the most vital of all the
}plnnting‘ detaits. Where the house is

YOU'VE known that Prince Albert is the
finest tobacco that ever tumbled into a
pipe, but did you ever try it in a home
rolled cigarette? Say, now! You’ve got
a cigarette-experience coming. P. A.
makes the kind of cigarette you can
write home about, for a fact.
Just get yourself a tidy red tin or a
toppy red bag of P. A. today. Put a
pinch in a paper and do your finger
exercise. Notice that it doesn’t spill all
over the place or blow away on the first
breeze. That’s because Prince Albert is
crimp-cut and stays put.

iPREPARE EARLY FOR SOYREANMNS
I'i’hr.: !”m::;ressivv Farmer.
Farmers who have been growing
cowpeas successtully on pooily pre-
I]i-.n'ed land complain that they get
'p(n;-l' stands of soybeans. Many charge
jiheir failures to dead soybean seedl.
’\\'hile soybean seed do nal retain
{their vitality as long as cowpez sead,
failue 10 get a stand of soybeans is
more cften due to (I)poeriy preparcd
seedbeds and "(2)ydeep planiing than
Mo poor seed. The demand for soyhean
zs-eml has bLeen so strong that but few
lf.-i' them have been held over to :he
i:.:z(:ox:d year and all shoiM sprout
{well
I A smooth, dragged-down and well
ipulverized seed-bed and one prenared
long enough before planting to be
come settled by rain, will invariably
give a geod stand of soybeans, if good
':;c(rd are planted and covered nct
niore than one inch deep.
! Land intended for soybeans and not
now occuried hy a crop sunould be
plowed as soon as possible and disked
and harrowed just before the soy-
Yeans are planted. :
Soyheans do net compete . with
weeds as well as . cowpeas do, and
tearly plowing helns to kill the weeds
A cigarette made with P. A. not only
volls easier—it burns better and, what is
very important, it tastes better. Coo! and
sweet and fragrant. Doesn’t burn the
tongue or parch the throat. The Prince
Albert process prevents that. Go ahead
and roll ’em with P. A.!
Step around the corner today and cet
some P. A. Make some great cigarcites
with it. And, to vary your smoke-men,
tamp a load of this wonderful tobacco
into the bowl of your old jimmy-pipe.
No matter how you smoke it, P, A, gives
you the glad hand in every perfeci puff.
glat come over from last 21l By rlow
ing soybean land at the first oppor
tunity and then disking at intervals
of three or four weeks un‘il just De
fcre planting, we will make an ideal
soybaan secdbed and free it of weeds
If the lesson of shallow planting
for soybeans has not been learned,
then remember that soybeans should
not be covered deeper than one inch.
Covering by merely pressing the seed
into the surface with a roller will
eive a better stand early in the sea
son than planting to a derth of two
inches of more. When planting with
a drill or planter, see that machine is
set and operated so as to cover the
seed shallowly and at uniform depth,
