Sign Your Nome
Every newspaper office is familiar
■with the individual who wants to
write for the press but fails to sign
his name. For three hundred sixty
five days in the year in the case of
the daily newspaper and for fifty-two
weeks in the year in the case of the
weekly newspaper, the editor is be¬
hind what he writes, and twice each
year the paper is required to publish
a statement showing the officers,
owners and bondholders. The editor
is out in the open all the time.
Yet there are people who would
hide behind a screen, abusing the
•newspaper's courtesy of welcoming
contributions on subjects of timely
interest, by refusing to sign their
names to communications. Anonymous
contributions do not receive consider¬
ation in any well regulated newspaper
office.
If you want to write for the press
sign your name. If you haven’t the
manhood, or womanhood, as the case
may be to sign your name the chances
are what you write will not have
much weight anyway. The world
loves the man who fights fair and
you can’t fight fair unless you fight
in the open.
The columns of this newspaper are
always open to any person who wants
to write on questions of public inter¬
est. We try to be fair to all parties
concerned. We want to give every-
4 body an opportunity to be heard.
From this day henceforth the man
or woman who writes for the Pro
gress-Argus will be asked to come out
in the open and sign his or her name.
—Jackson Progress-Argus. j

TIIE MOCKING
BY READ SPENCER
(From Christian Science Monitor)
The mocking bird in yonder tree
Sings songs of joy and love and glee,
A fine enthusiast is he,
Sharing with all his ecstacy.
The oak feels honored by her guest.
Is proud her foliage hides his nest.
His music-sermons of good will
Give all who hear a pleasing thrill.
The water lilies in the brook,
The roses in the shady nook,
And all the blossoms on the trees
Nod their approval in the breeze.
Thou dear evangel of the grove,
Thy gospel teaches joy and love
And not a note in all thy song
Breathes aught of hatred or of wrong.
Thy gossip, also, is discreet;
How happily thou dost repeat
The many stories thou hast heard
From every other worthy bird!
Thou dost not tell what crows may say
Nor imitate the swearing jay;
A fine discrimination thine,
What news to tell; what to decline;
Exemplar thou, of merit, rare;
Let me, thy kindly spirit share.
NEW FISH LAW
Among the several provisions of
the Game and Fish Bill passed by
the recent General Assembly and ap
proved by the Governor, is one which
prohibits seining or netting in any
of the fresh water streams of Geor
gia for a period of five years. The
section of law prohibiting ..... seining
reads as follows: “It shall be a mis
demeanor for any person to take
from any of the fresh water streams
of this state any fish with seine, net,
gig or spear or with any other de
vice or by any other means than
with a hook and line for a period of
five years; provided nothing in this
act shall prohibit the taking of min
nows where a seine is used for such
purpose ’ the same not eXceed four
feet in length, and provided further,
1 that the provisions of this section
/ SEPTEMBER, 10, 1925.
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GA., THURSDAY,
shall not prohibit the taking of shad
fish in the manner and season pro¬
vided by law.” This law, according
to Commissioner Twitty, applies to
eV en private ponds, but the owner of
a private pond, his immediate fami
[y or tenants, may fish in said pond
a j- an y time and in any manner they
pi ease . Under the old anti-seining law
^ was necessary for two grand ju
r ies to recommend its adoption
f ore the law became effective. But
the new iaw is state-wide in its ef
f ec f. anc j now applies to every county
in the State> and n0 action of the
grand jury is necessary,
Another provision of this bill pro
hibits the use of fish baskets or
£ ra p S or similar devices at any and
a jj ^j meS| anf i makes it the duty of
game wardens, deputy wardens and
other police officers to destroy all
traps, baskets and other devices
used in violation of this act.

Twelve O’clock Sharp!
Be in your seat for the Kiwanis luncheon promptly when
the gavel falls. We have several important matters of civic
progress which are about to he realized. Do YOUR duty—
don't let anything slip through negligence on your part.
Dr. R. C. Smisson, Ralph Newton and T. F. Flournoy are
the committee on a special “Educational” program. We may
look for something of striking interest.
We’ve got to catch step and swell the chorus at once if
we want to get in good form for the big event week after next,
September 25th—LADIES’ NIGHT. Hoo-ray! Come on, fellows.
Illusions
“Why do you waste your I into on Kiwanis?” asked the cynic.
“This idealism is all bunk and illusion. Thank heaven, lost my
illusions about this selfish world.”
Unfortunate man! Life without illusions is sad indeed. Praise
be to the Almighty, that as fast as one illusion is dispelled, there
are others to take its place. The blessing of heaven has lighted
on the life of the man who cherishes one illusion after another.
A trusted friend goes wrong and leaves him to face financial
loss. Are all friends false and humanity untrustworthy because of
this one poor specimen?
A woman falls because she is weak; again he is dis illusioncd.
Hut are all women weak and less spotless because of this one with
the dark spot? Must he forever lose his faith in pure womanhood;
God’s greatest gift to man?
A great preacher slips in the pathway of life. Is religion a
myth and theology, only old wives’ tales to ease doddering humanity
peacefully into the grave?
Are purity, friendship, love, religion, honesty, brotherhood, all
illusions? If so, happy that man who hugs his illusions to his
breast and goes his way down the road of life scattering smiles and
joy.
When one illusion crashes, lot us take up another and so be
happy. God’s in His Heaven, all’s right with the world.
Out of our thoughts wo create our heavens or hells. It is a
d rah and colorless swamp or heaven kissed mountain lop just.
as we make it.
Under these new provisions of the
law only hook and line fishing Kvill
be permissible in Georgia during the
next five years. The law goes still
further and makes it the duty of the
Board of Game and Fish to prohibit
even hook and line fishing during
the spawning season in any county
of the state where one grand jury of
that county recommends.
A third provision of the bill pre¬
scribes a penalty of from $ 100.00 to
$ 1000.00 for dynamiting fish.
The Department of Game and Fish
announces a reward of $25.00 for the
violating the anti-seining iaw or tiie
arrest and conviction of any person
law prohibiting the use of baskets
and traps. A. reward of $50.00 is
offered for the arrest and conviction
of any person dynamiting fish. These
rewards expire January I, 1926, but
are subject to renewal at that time.
A special corps of deputies has
been employed by the Department of
Game and Fish to see that the new
fishing laws are rigidly enforced.
