MIRACLES
(AMIEL’S JOURNAL)
Men will not see that a miracle
is a perception of the soul; a vi¬
sion of the divine behind nature; a
psychical crisis, analogous to that
of Aeneas on the last day of Troy,
which reveals to us the heavenly
powers prompting and directing
human action. For the indifferent
there are no miracles. It is only the
religious souls who are capable of
recognizing the finger of God in
certain given facts.
Build, Build, BUILD
Build or bust!
Indeed, Fort Valley is building like
dreams come true, and there isn’t any
busting here.
Life is an arrow—therefore you must
know,
What mark to aim at, how to use the
bow—
Then draw it to the head, and let it
go. —Henry van Dyke.
Taking a look into the future The
Dawson News says: “The hope of the
democratic party in 1928 and there
after lies in breaking away from the
animosities that have existed between
the Bryan and Cox camps, the Me
Adoo and Smith forces, the two fac
tions that divided the party at the
San Francisco and New York conven
tions, and that can continue to divide
it only at the price of such defeats as
swept Harding and Coolidge into the
white house with the greatest
ties ever known”
They do say that the Florida boom,
like the man on heights too dizzy, is
wavering before a plunge back to the
sound level of practical values. That
will be good for Florida, although
hard on some of our good friends
among the real estate speculators. In
the meantime, Georgia and Peach
county are experiencing no wild boom
hut are enjoying a wholesome, fat ex¬
pansion in real estate activities and
values for which, after all, they must
thank Florida and her heroic boom to
a largo extent. May the Lord take
care of Florida and help her feet to
find the solid ground.
Every orange and every grnpe
‘fruit in each one of the 15,000,000
boxes that are forecast ns Florida’s
crop this year must bo ripe, juicy and
sweet before it is shipped out of the
state. With instructions to this effect
firmly fixed in their mind 100 or
more inspectors have been sent by
Nathan Mayo, commissioner of agri¬
culture, to packing houses of the
state to enforce the new green fruit
law enacted by the 1925 legislature.
This will bo of interest to Georgia
patrons of Florida fruit, since this
state has for years apparently been

ges and grapefruit that in many in

Indifference, as we have pointed
out hold before, communities is one of back. the In things a recent! thatj
bond election in Atlanta the issue was i
defeated, it was said, because there
was a baseball game in town that day. *
We know nothing of the merits of the
issue, but mention this fact simply to
show that people will atteend athletic
contests, turn out to a political meet¬ i
ing, go miles and miles to a free bar¬ i
becue, but refuse to attend meetings
and vote in elections where the pro
gress of the community is involved.
The man who is too selfish to give
thought and time to the community’s
growth and progress need not be sur¬
prised to see things stand still. Geor¬
gians, more than ever before, need to
place first things first.—Jackson

Progress-Argus: j
The Idle Youth
It’s not the idle rich but the idle
young that is raising the devil with
the country. On every hand you see
young people shying from work and
trying to get by without it. It scarce¬
ly ever wins. Too much pampering
and too little enforcement of discip¬
line by parents is largely to blumc for
the present overflowing of jails, re¬
formatories and penitentiaries. Any
child not brought up to work and obey
his parents will sneer at the law when
he gets out into the world for him¬
self. If you have a child and would
make him a good citizen, teach him
to work and make him obey.—Fitz¬
gerald Leader-Enterprise.
Popping A Surprise
When Editor Clark Howell went out
into his pantry Thursday night to get
Vice President Dawes a little ginger
pop, after the vice-presidents’ strenu
ous day of speech-making and sight¬
seeing, he was startled to hear his
grand piano responding to finger
touches like those of a Paderewiski.
-j Returning to the drawing room, he
found the vice-president fingering the
keys like the artist that he is. It then
dawned upon the Atlanta editor that
Vice President Dawes is not only a
I composer of music, but ranks with the
I greatest pianists in the country.—

Hunks and Building
Banks set the standard of a com
munity’s progress and development.
The lively, boosting bank is a city
builder. The dead, sponge-like bank
merely absorbs and enervates a city's
life and strength. When banks blaze
the way and sing the song of progress
through the newspaper they fix the
brand of the character of their com
munity’s civic spirit. For instance, be¬
hind the celebrated ‘Atlanta spirit”
always has been the enterprising
spirit of Atlanta’s banks speaking in
mighty tones through Atlanta news¬
papers. So with Fort Valley; her de¬
velopment has been measured and will
be measured by the progressive ini¬
tiative and high vision of her banks
in lifting high the standard of con¬
structive energy and broad vision.

The K ing's Chapter a Day
King George of England lets it be
known that in pursuance of a pro¬
m j se to his mother forty-four years
ago he reads daily a chapter in the
Bible. Had sovereigns always kept
their word this well and always bad
been as fortunate in their literature
history would have been spared
many a do l e f u I day.
King George, it, is reckoned, has
read the Bible through thirteen times
since 1881, when he made his covenant
with Queen Alexandra; or at least he
has covered the equivalent of that
manv readings, though he has proba
not followed the routine of going
invariably from Genesis to Revela
tions. Whatever else he may have
, 0UBd in these perus als, he certainly
has learned much about kings and
much about mankind . A scho l ar
once remarked that whether or no one
considered the Bible as having inspir¬
ed knowledge of Divine nature, it un¬
questionably showed inspired knowl¬
edge of human nature. There are in
the world two books which, by general
assent of competent judges, tell
more about men and women than all
other hooks combined. One is Shakes
peare, the other iis the Bible; and the

And there are none beyond the sea

And told to God the simple pray’r
That I was taught at Mother’* Knee.

Yet still I pray, when eve comeB on,

Bible tells more than Shakespeare.
That puts it as strongly as we our¬
selves know how. But the New York
Sun, a Nestor of keen wit and discern¬
ing taste, makes this beautiful com¬
ment on King George’s practice:
“However perfunctorily such a task
may be performed on many days,
there will be times when the majes¬
tic prose and more majestic poetry
of the Book of Books will sound trum¬
pet calls which set the most sluggish
emotions marching. The person who
starts out to read a chapter a day and
keeps it up will soon find himself
reading not mere chapters, but whole
books, and will be the better for it.”
F’or this reason, and for the eternal
aptness of the truths, The Journal
heads its editorial columns with a
Bible thought; only a few lines a day,
but a King’s crumb, as the proverb
goes, is of more worth than a Lord’s
loaf.—Atlanta Journal.
Inheritance Taxes
(From Thos. W. Hardwick’s
Free Lance)
Governor Walker has now junketed
off to Washington to try to persuade
the Federal Government to abolish
the Inheritance tax, so that the States
may have, without competition, that
source of revenue.
Gn * y * ast Au f u * t oar Legislature,
witb Governo |‘ i Walkers j l approval, re

inheritance tax. If Governor Walker I

inheritance tax and next insists that

no inheritance tax, does not this in

"With increasing rentals and val
ues of farm lands, dairy farming is
rapidly replacing other types ot
five stock farming. A dairy cow
producing 8,000 pounds of milk a
year furnishes 1,000 pounds of dry
matter, all of which is edible and
digestible. A two year old steer
weighing between 1,200 and 1.300
pounds furnishes about 550 pounds
of dry matter, not all of which can
be used for food. In other words a
fairly good producing dairy cow
furnishes twice ns much edible dry
matter in one year as a good two
year old steer when he Is killed for
meat. A cow can be kept for addi¬
tional years of service, while to re¬
place the steer, another animal

years. consumption of
Tho United States
milk per capita has increased from
42 gallons of whole milk in 1918
to more than 54 gallons In 1925.
With growing acceptance of milk
as a food has come an increasing
knowledge of the proper care of
milk on the farm. Because odors
from foods and animals in the cow
stable are easily taken up by milk,
injuring its flavor, they must not
come in contact with the milk. Re¬
moval of the milk from the stable
as soon as possible reduces the
amount of dust and dirt entering it
and keeps down the bacterial growth

Bacteria increase rapidly in warm
milk causing it to sour quickly. Re¬
moval of the animal heat from

temperature to that of cold well
water (approximately 60° F.).
greatly aids in preventing bacterial
growth. A well lighted, well venti¬
lated milk house, not too close to
the stable, is also very helpful.
Cleanliness in the stable is vitally
necessary. The stall platform should
be just long enough for the cow to
stand comfortably without room to
spare; otherwise, the cow will be¬

GOOD FOR EVIL
Wrongs may be most trying to
one’s soul, but they cannot make it
evil unless one forget patience and
longguffcring. When injustice is
done one, it is not righted by retali¬
ation. A return in kind is not of a
piece with becoming indignation,
nor does it help it. When men
speak ill of you, live so that no¬
body will believe them,” in a prac¬
tical adage well worth observing.
A strong, earnest, consistent life
will refute all lies and evil allega¬
tions. It is the best armor to shut
out or blunt the sharp arrows of
envy or malice.—Christian Observ
er.
fortunes reside, as a rule, in the
East. At any rate the States in
the most of them do reside could be
counted on the fingers of one hand,
Consequently, if Governor Walker’s
present proposal were accepted ’ only
a few States could get any substantial
revenue from inheritance taxes be
cause that sort of a tax ought not
be levied by any governmental au
thority, on any estate except those
that are so large that they ought to
be trimmed some, in the public in
terest and for the protection of the
public.
That is the true theory upon which
any proper inheritance tax must rest,
in this country. Under it Georgia and
about forty other states would get
practically nothing. New York, Con¬
necticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan and
Ohio would get it all.
That is unjust, because while the
owners of these great fortunes may
reside, largely, in those states, the
fortunes themselves were made in all
the States, and out of the people ev¬
erywhere.
Besides, if Inheritance taxes are to
be Ievied by State instead 0 f Federal
au t bor it y these Captains of Industry
will be dodging around from one
state to another to avoid the tax, and
the States themselves will engage in
an undignified rivalry to attract them in-J
by offering to do away with all
ber j tance taxes, as has already been 1
j one m Florida and Gorgia.
Consequently we insist that Inheri¬
tance taxes, not to be levied at all ex- J j
cept upon very great and dangerously
large fortunes, ought to be levied by |
the Federal Government and not by
the States.

bo wide and deep. A good gutter is
16 inches to 18 inches in width and
9 or 10 inches below the platform.
Bedding should be clean and plen¬
teous.
Long hair on the flanks, udders
and tail above the switch of the
dairy cow should be removed at
regular Intervals. Removing this
long hair removes the clinging places
of dirt which otherwise will fall Into
the milk pail In quantities. Keeping
the hair short on these parts of the
cow permits cleaning In much less
time and more thoroughly. Brush¬
ing should never be neglected. It
removes loose particles sticking to
the body. When the hair Is short,
wiping the udders with a damp cloth
just before milking, is an easy and
important aid in securing clean milk.
Jt is generally recognized that
most of the bacteria found in milk
finds its source in dirt clinging to
the cow and dropping into the pail
during milking time. Simple pre¬
cautions will practically eliminate
this source of bacterial growth and
dairymen find themselves well re¬
paid for the little time necessary ia
taking such precautions.
