BIBLE THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
" THE TITHE—“The tithe of the
herd, or the flock, * * * the tenth
shall be holy unto the Lord.” Lev
27:32.
e cot————————
" The Presbyterian church proceeds
cautiously, but it is giving the wom
en a larger field of activity within
the ranks. This will not be found a
mistake.
A tribute to the Boy Scout like that
coming from Migs 'Tallulah Atkins
who found these boys performing
'such fine services at the Birmingham
Reunion, i 8 worth much to the or
xfitzatlon. If we were a Boy Scout
we should be pleased with that com
pliment. The true Boy Scout is a
treasure in any community, The boy
who lives the creed of that organiza
tion is headed towards useful citizen
ehip—no matter what comes.
~ “TOWN SPORT” PLAYS
The local “man about town” and
hig “sporting” neighbor from the
provinces make up the audience that
jee the most encouragement to New
rk's “sensationally rotten” stage
uctions, condludes the Catholic
E:eu Guild.
Lhe Rev. John B. Kelly, spiritual
ector of the Guild, said a survey
sßowed that artistic and financial suc
g in the city's theatrical field was
i@ decent productions, and that only
“minor part of the theatre going
pliblic paid big prices for choice bits’
dramatic degeneracy.” |
W‘And fnost of this patronage rep-‘
rrenu the thoughtless element rath
er than the inherently malicious,” the
*est declared. “We have the local
(w-up who wants to live riotously for
am evenirg when there is a periodic
scurrance of the urge to make an
ijpression on his neighbors of his
Wing superior in matters of petty
nventions. He wants to tell the
ys in the office or shop what a mad
ghe was last night and is willing
npen({ ‘t%vr ‘dhys income for the
rill of the recital.
“Then there is the one who comes
town to collect experiences. He
w 46 ~oarry- back nanratives of
witd adventure to be dispensed to the
boy_rnthered around the stove or ra
d*t’or in the village or town post of
fice. He is a hero when he confides
txl"‘lhem the stories of the wild wom
a'& he met—over the footlights. If he
d;{)ea not return broke, his trip has
bQ'qn a sad failure. Incidentally, if he
gayed the money spent many a degen
orate production would be a failure.
|*Then there are some naughty hus
l#.pds who get together with the old
trblt cronies when the wife is away
and fight for the privilege of lavishing
d;’eir hard earned income on wild
&Ilngs."
It is to be expected that there will
befg'a supply for this type as long as
it'§s in demand, said the director,
fllch accounted for many ‘‘sensatione
ally rotten productions.”
‘frhe_“ Guild believes that the aver
age. A.tfierican wants his entertain
ment wholesome and that the average
producer is catering to that taste.

‘OVERSEAS FIELDS OF HONOR
" Decoration Day this year finds
America's eight overseas “Fields of
#Honor,” those in France, Belgium and
Great Britain where more than 30,
000 soldiers of the World War lie in
rest, practically completed.
B Except for the substitution of mar-
W crosses for the white painted
wooden markers, the natural growth
of trees, shrubs and lawns and the fin
ishing of chape] projects, the ceme
terles already have taken on dappear
ances of beauty and permanence indi
cative of the care bhestowed by a
gratful government and people.
It is to these American possessions
in foreign lands, spread over a total
of 256 acres of planted white crosses,
that the footsteps of thousands will
lead tomorrow, Not only will the pil
grimages include the hosts of Ameri
cang residing in those countries, but
remembering friends and officials of
the three Allied nations will swell the
I procession,
Commencement of thé 'Decoration
Day exercises in honor of the dead in
each of the cemeteires will bhegin to
morrow in accordance with plans
drafted by the General Committee on,
Arthy and Navy Chaplains. These
provide for special services in the
churches of Great Britain, France
and Belgium, presided over by Ameri
can clergymen, and for continued re
ligious and patriotic observances at
the cemeteries on Monday,
A word picture of the American
“Fields of Honor” in Europe, drawn
in the form of an official report to
the War Department by a group of in
vestigators, has just been released by
Secretary Davis. It was made pub
lic primarily in order that the “next
of Kin” of the soldier dead and their
friends at home might know, as their
thoughts turn to the war days, just
what has been done in the way of
providing appropriate burial places
in Europe.
“One need not trust,” the investi
gators reported, “to blue prints and
diagrams for his knowledge of the
lovely spots that these cemeteries will
be after the plans now under way
have been fully carried out. Ile may
go to the American cemetery Sures
nes, only a few miles from Paris,
where under simpler conditions, the
task of making a beautiful résting
place, green and wooded and flower
ing, has already been completed.
“We turned to Parls‘hmpy in the
thought that we could assure every
tather and mother, whose sons lie be
neath the crosses in any of the Amer
fcan cemeteries in France, that their
dead will be cared for, in a way wor
thy of the country for which they
laig down their lives.” !
GERMAN CROWN FAMILY |
Prince and (Princess Joachim of%
[Tohenzollern were having tea at one
of the embassies. This Joachim ds:
a second cousin of the former Kaiser
and of the same name as the son
who committed suicide. The Prin
cess, during a pause in the conver:
sation, turned to her husband and
said:
“Don’t you think we had better go
now? You know 1 have to put the
children to bed.” i
“Q, yes, so you do,” he replied. “Its
the girl's night out.”
pPrince and Princess Joachim live
simply in a small apartment with one
wervant, probably on an allowance
from the Kaiser who carries forty-two
members of the family on his payroll.
The C(rown Prince is not one of
those receiving a dole from the head
of the house. He has more private
property than any other German roy
alty except his father and Ruprecht
of Bavaria.
The four other sons of the Kaiser
live comfortably on their allowances
of 24,000 marks each from their father
Each is understood to have some frag:
ments of private income and they
pay no loukse rent. Kitel Fritz and his
wife have the villa Ingenheim at Pots.
dam, which was built for the morgan
atic wife of King Frederick William
11 of Prussia.
Prince Adelbert bought a house at
Homburg and lives there. Prince and
Princess August William have the vil:
la Liegnitz in Potsdam. This villa
also has a palst. It was the residence
of the morganatic wife of Frederick
William 111, a Countess von Harrach
who was created a princess on her
marriage.
} Prince Oscar, the tifth son of the
Kaiser, was expelled from the family

enzollerns for having married beneath

Count von Balssewitz-Levetzow, the
prime minister of Mecklenburg-Sch-‘
werin, However, Oscar was reinstat
ed by his father in 1920. Oscar and
his wife also live in Potsdam. He
worked until recently in a Berlin bank
It is not easy for a prince to ob.
tain employment just because he is
a prince, One of the young grand
dukes of the Baden family applied
to a magneto factory at Karlsruhe for
a position, He brought a letter of in
tnoduction from an intimate friend of
the manager,
“I regret that I cannot employ you"
said the manager in kubstance. “We
have 2,000 men on the waiting list.
If we gave a job to a prince they
y would tear down the factory,”
Bigismund, one of Prince Henry of
Prussia’s sons, has been in Guatema
la five years raising coffee. |
Most of the princes and princesses
of the twenty-five houses formerly rul
ing in the istates of the empire are
living quietly, almost obsurely on
country estate or the old town resi
denceg which have been left in their
keeping.
| The King of Saxony is living on an
eatate not far from Dresden. Grand
duke Albrecht, heir to the kingly suc
cession of Wurtemburg, is on a large
farm of his own in Wurtemburg.
Grand Duke Max of Baden likewise is
living unmolested on his estate in
Baden.
| HOSPITAL HELP
Kiwanis today took time to engage
in plans to give the local hospital
some of its attention and as a result
something worth while is going to be
done for that institution. Some needs
are going to be met in a substantial
and telling manner, we hope.
The local hospital does more char
ity work than all other agencies in the
city combined. To be a hospital it
has to keep doing that work. Human
ity would have no heart to deal fur
ther with any management of that in
stitution that would turm away the
gsick and needy so long as there is
life, we have a habit of counting it‘
worth while to try to save it.
Ordinarily it is not necessary to
shed a lot of tears to get this com
munity into a cause that needs help.
Here is something that should be
helped -helped because it helps many
a patient that pays nothing into the
treasury for maintaining the hospital.
Those who keep that institution have
to keep going. It i=n't fair to require
of them all the charity work for the
sick.
The city of Ccrdele gives to charity.
The county does the same thing. A
matter of fifty dollars a month from
each would be the best spent charity
money we could offer. The fact that
it is a privately maintained institu
tion doesn't get us away from public
responsiblity The charity patien¢s
at this hospital ought to he a public
charge, not a burden of expense c~n‘
the hospital. l
But we have some promise of imme
diate needs from the Kiwanis club. lt‘
is a praisé'\\'ofihy move and we urc!
glad, in the very hardest months of
the year, we have somebody who isj
willing to make sacrifices in that di
rection. No matter how poor we are,
the Kiwanis gifts to the hospital will
be as fine as any that splendid civic
organization has ever made. |
INTOLERANT “FREETHINKERS"
Valdosta Times:
Referring to the attempt to re
strain the school authorities of White
Plaing, N. Y., from allowing schooi
children to be dismissed half an
hour a week at the request of their
parents, to receive religious instruc
tion. which can not be given in
schools supported by taxation, the
Philadelphia Record pointedly re
marks that “freethinkers seem to be
under the impression that they are
only persons who have the right to
think freely” —and further:
If a person possesses any
right at all he has a right to
control the religious instruction
of his child. In the Oregon
school case, where the attempt
was made to wipe out all schools
not supported by taxation, the
Supreme Court of the United
States affirms this right of the
parent in the most explicit terms
and it seems a piece of bigotry
for the free thinkers to seek to
prevent it. The religion instruc
tion can't be given in the public
schéols, but why should not the

another item to be added to the list
of things in which “Georgia Leads”
The State College of Agriculture, a
virile member of the state university
group of institutions, is the only in
stitution in the South which provides
now a fully functicaing departmenfl
of physical training which grants to
students completing the course de
grees in this line, There have been a
few other institutions in the country
thus functioning; there have been de.
partments of physical training in
thousands of institutions from the
high schools up; but this Georgia col
lege is the only one in the South
which has perfected a full course
leading to a degree certifying com
plete training in the care and devel
opment of the body—the basis for a
sound mind and a fine spirit. It is a
distinction of which Georgia should
be proud. Georgia had the first state
university created by a legislature.

i WE NEED TO PREACH A
CRUSADE OF THRIFT
Editor Clarence Poe in The Pro
gressive Farmer,
Unquestionably, the greatest foe
L of thrift, independence and econo
;’ my in the South is our vicious “time
prices” credit system, As Dr. Knapp
bimself said:
i “It has been aa potent factor
‘\ in depressing agriculture . . . It
unklushingly swept the earnings of
toil from the masses into the cof
fers of the few. It substituted vol
l untary for involuntary servitude
| ownership by agreement, and pover
! ty by contract under fear of the
sheriff for the ownership' by birth--
right and a government by proprie
tary right.”
" This “time prices” credit system
has been for the South the' pesti
lence that walketh in darkness, the
destruction that wasteth at moonday.
It has not orly mean that formers
buying goods under . this gystem
have paid interest . (disguised a:
“time prices”) at the rate of 60 to
70 percent per aynum, whereas busi
ness Men have goiten money at 6 to
7 percent; but this.credit system has
been the perpetual foe of self dis
cipline and self-restraint in farm
expenditures. The time-prices vie
tim has left it to the supply mer
chant not unaturally has allowed him
to buy to the limit, leaging no mar
gin or accumulation to \ake care of
the next year’s tneeds. As a lcadingl
banker said to me a few vears ago:l
“Our time merchants have their
riders out in midsummer and if they
find that a tenant’s crop is going to
leave him with a surplus, they
straightway arrange to sell him some
extra luxury or extravagance.” Our
people need to learn the truth ot
what James J. Hill said:
If you want to know whether
you are destined to be a success
or a failure in life, you can easi
ly find out. The test is simple

You will lose.a ssure as you

And James J. Hill was right—not
because money in itsc.‘lf means S 0
much, but because the habit of self
discipline, self-control self-mastery
which it takes to say “No” to un
necessary or unwise expenditure is a
fundamental basis of character and
success,
