II hen the Firemen Ran
I N THOSE DAYS, if the call to the volunteers was in
your behalf—if your home or your business estab
lishment was in flames you faced ruin.
There was no great organization to spread its protec¬
tive mantle over you to hold you safe from loss.
Today fire insurance is a great institution reaching
from business to the home with protective rates judged
exactly to the risk. It stands between a dread element
and you.
Fire need never mean a loss if you will insure and
be sure.
We care for your every insurance need.

OUR MINISTER’S SERMON
The minister said last night, sez he,
Don’t be afraid of givin';
If your life ain't worth nothin’ to
other folks,
Why, what’s the use of livin’?”
And that’s what I said to my wife;
sty. I,
‘‘There’s Brown, the mis’able sinner,
He’d sooner a beggar'd starve than
give
A cent toward buyin’ his dinner. • •
j I tell Hut you, I couldn our minister’s quite determine prime, he is-- J
t |
; When I heard him givin’ it right and
Just who was hit by his sermon—
Of course there could be no mistake
When he talked about long-winded
prayin’,
' For Peters and Johnson they sot an’
scowled
j At every word he was sayin’.
j And ‘‘There’s the minister various he kinds went of on cheatin’, to say,
And religion’s as good for ev’ry day
l As it is to bring to meetin’; |
I don’t think much of the man who j
loucT’amens’ j

An’ spends his time the follerin’week
In r cheatin . . • , an , over-reachm , . , .1 „ ,

I guess that dose was bitter enough |
■ For a man like Jones to swaller, I
■
But I noticed he didn’t open his mouth
Not once after that to holler;— '
it Hurrah!” said I. “for the minister,”
(Of course, I said it quiet,)
“Give us some more of this open talk;
It's very refreshin' diet.
The minister hit ’em ev’ry time,
\ - And when he spoke of fashion
An' riggin out in bows an’ things |
i As women’s rulin' passion,
An’ goin’ to church to see the styles, 1
I couldn’t! help a-winkin’ |
An’ nudgin my wife, an’ sez I,

; 1 guess it sot her thinkin'. 1
Sez I to myself, “That senmnVs pat;
But man is a queer creation,
Ard I’m much afraid that most of the
folks
j Won't take the application;”—
Now, if he'd said a word about
I My particular mode of sinnin’,
I’d gone right to work to right my¬
self,
i And not set there a-grinnin'.
Just then the minister sez, sez he,

OUR TROUBLE IS MENTAL
—NOT
(Continued from Page One)
Herald and our own opinions on
subject we casually looked up
figures in the Manufacturer’s
Blue Book for 1925. This
is an authority.
1 Mere figures meall little
comparisons are made. To
select Florida because the
I ourselves let’s take Georgia
Florida for comparative purposes.
Georgians seem to think that
tops the ranks in wealth and
gress while his native State
near the bottom.
Here’s the value of all farm
ducts in 1900:
! Georgia $104,304,000
I Florida 13,498,000
( The value of all farm products
1924:
Georgia . $363,000,000
I Florida ................. 82,000,000
Individual deposits in all of
banks in the two States in 1924:
Georgia ........ $286,228,000
Florida .......... 269,611,000
I Here we find tin enlightening
I parison. The ASSESSED valuation
all property in the two States in
was:
Georgia $1,213,385,000
Florida 475,197,000
From the United States
Bu*eau for 1922 (latest available
formation) we find that the
«. true value of all property” was:
Georgia ...... $3,896,759,000
Florida 2,440,491,000
Savings deposits in all of the
in the two States in 1924 were:
Georgia 88.482.000
Florida 83.038.000
Lasting wealth, the foundation
permanent prosperity, comes from
two principal sources: First, the
farm, and second from manufactured
products.
The aggregate value of all of the
crops and live stock in the two States
are given at
Georgia $363,000,’000
Florida 106,000,000
For the value of manufactured
products in the South, the Manufac
tures’ Record goes to Census
reau figures for the year 1923. These
figures do not include the value of
manufactured products from estab
lishments having an annual
tion value u{ ]esa than $5 000 A
comparison of the two states follows:
Georgia 604,499,555
Florida 188,258,384
Much has been said about the rapid
building of highways in Florida,
a comparison of the two States, for
approximate highway expenditures in
1924 shows:
12 , 000,000
k or a ‘ 13,422,000

the land where every one has mone
whiIe ,n Geor * ,a aI1 of us are t,roke ’'
and yet when we look for the num- I
b, ' r of mot,,r vehicles owned in thp
two Statps we find Florida has ,,nly
about 12,000 more than Georgia. The
figures for 1924 are:
Georgia 209,300
Florida 221,234
In railroad main line trackage we
find about 2,000 more miles in Geor
gia than Florida. The actual figures
for 1924 in miles are:
Georgia ...... 7,193 !
Florida 5,284
Let’s go back to the banks again.
In 1924 the aggregate resources of j
all the banks in the two States show
this comparison:
Georgia $458,040,000
Florida 346,763,000 j
Florida has had 173 bond issues
for schools, roads, etc., whereas
Georgia has had only 43 in the same
period of time. The total amount of
bonds issued by the two states are:
Georgia $12,000,000
Florida 38,426,810
In other words, Florida's bonded
indebtedness is nearly five times) as
great as Georgia, and our true val
nation of property is more than a
billion dollars in excess of Florida,
Our income from manufactured pro
ducts is $260,000,000 in excess of
hers; from our farms we receive
$280,000,000 more than Florida. What
a story we have to tell the world.
The great trouble is that we do
KNOW our own State. Our people
have spent too fast, and
themselves in debt, have failed
j pull up and economize for awhile.
j TJie income is all ight, we are
living beyond our means. We've
ed to rid ourselves of some of
“high and mighty airs” we put on
1918 and 1919.
Today there is an optimistic
sage coming from yevery point

Of course we are coming back.

Railroad profits are limited by law. and rates

large business is so great an amount of capital

The new money put into a railroad, therefore,
must be profitably employed, either in in¬
creasing capacity for service or in effecting
economies of operation.
The Southern, never yet able to control all
the new capital its management would be I
pleased to invest, necessarily has to give
preference to productive improvements, such
as yards, shops, engines, cars and tracks.
But it is because it has devoted its resources
to necessities—rather than non-productive
improvements like monumental passenger
stations—that the Southern has been able to
keep its service abreast of the demands of
the territory it serves.

SOUTHERN R A ILWAY SYSTEM
East, the greatest cavalcade in the
nation’s history is moving—moving
toward the newly discovered South- '
east. With their goods, their families,
their all, they are seeking a home in j
i this wonderland of summers milder,
j than theirs and winters where snow
is unknown and little ice is seen.
I A nation has discovered at last a
land of plenty—a land of milk and
honey; a land where broad acres m
vite the industrious; where billions
j in wealth await the turning of un
| touched raw materials into finished
j products; where the red flag of an
archy is unknown; where labor and
I capital adjust themselves w ,-ithout the ■
aid of gun and bomb; where flows
the purest Anglo-Saxon blood; where
there’s less of religious intolerance
and more brotherly love and forbear¬
ance! where hills are dotted with
schoolhouses and in the vales rest
the church of one's choice.
There’s nothing the matter with
Georgia. We have our faults and
failures; we have turned out our
statesmen and placed peanut poli
ticians in office for the time being,
but the foundation is firm and strong..

Father Picked Moral "
From Youngster 9 s Joke
A prominent Los Angeles- attorney
told the following story in a recent
address to the graduates of a gram¬
mar school. He said that his son, a
high-school graduate, came home one
day nn d asked him If lie were a good
mathematician.
“Yes, my boy, I think I'm pretty
good.” the father replied.
“Well, then, I have a problem I’d
like to have you solve. There were
three frogs sitting on a log—a bull¬
frog, a tree frog and a toad frog. The
bullfrog decided to jump off. How ^
many were there left?”
The father smiled. “Why, that’s an
easy one. Two frogs were left.”
“And that’s where you are alt
wrong!” exclaimed the boy, grinning.
“Three frogs were left, because kl
bullfrog only decided to jump off. H*
