the fact that the peach crop of

POOR OLD GRANDAD
It may be that grandad never
a movie, a ball game, or listened to
radio set or owned a flivver. He
had to wait in a barber shop until a
girl got her neck shaved and he never
went swimming with the ladies;
never smoked a cigarette, and he ne¬
ver had his finger nails manicured or
his toe nails doctored; he never drank
near beer, and he never divorced
grandma; he never had a dark-brown
taste in his mouth next morning, and
he never took physical culture les
sops, and he never slept in a pair of
pajamas. There are a lot of things
that grandad never did. But did you
ever stop to think that he was always
l nght . , A Up to x the , Scratch , when came
to paying his bills? And also that a
lot of his offspring could get a lot
more out of life if they could say the
same thing for themselves ?—Alphar¬

NEW ADVERTISING METHODS
The editor of the Atoka (Okla.)
County Jeffersonian learned that a
solicitor was getting up a program
for church services which would con¬
l tain, besides the program for the ser¬
j vices, advertising of merchants simi¬
1 lar to that used in theatre programs.
The stunt moved him to remark thus ‘
ly:
“If the church is going in for that
kind of thing, let us suggest that
tflfere are a lot of nice white plastered
walls in the churches upon which
signs could easily be painted. Also, a
few ads could he inserted in the Bible.
Take a little Wine of Cardui for the
stomach’s sake’ is a possibility. A
butcher’s ad beside the story of the
fatted calf would be appropriate. The
purple and fine linen scripture could
be worked up into a crackerjack dry
goods ad. A few medicine songs scat
ter ed throughout the hymnals would
jazz things up wonderfully. For a
closing hymn they could sing to the
tune of Dock’s Ology: “Praise Wil
hams’ pants that smoothly flow;
j praise Dri Sox Shoes that keep out
i the snow; praise F’atimas—they taste
| like toast; try Bill’s Cafe for prime
pork roast! Ah! Men!”’—Michigan
Press Bulletin.
Hurrah , Muscogee!

Sun and his side-kick, Colo^rl Bill

Life W ork
Every man has a right to a life work
Which will not only consume his time
And feed his body.
But one that shall be—
Big enough
To keep all his powers tense,
Strong enough
To share its broad shoulders
For the burdens of the weak,
Permanent and precious enough in its
fruits j
To satisfy a soul that shall live for
ever —Samuel Glasgow. I
Plain Preaching
Local people, boost your town; run
it up, instead of down.
Boosting is the things it needs if it
prospers and succeeds.
All its benefits are yours while
your dwelling here endures.
From a purely selfish view, boost¬
ing is the thing to do.
But there’s still another side—that
of having civic pride.
Citizens must everyone lend a hand
and get things done.
Never knock; it doesn’t pay; boost¬
ing is the better way.
Do not kick, but boost, instead;
that’s the way to get ahead.
This is how to build your town;
talk it up, but never down.—Tifton

The Country Editors
“I never talk for the press,” Bish
op Warren Candler told a
tative of the Progress when asked
for an interview. “I will say
that the weekly newspapers of Geor¬
gia- evidently do not realize their
power. They have an advantage over
the daily papers and are in position
to do great good. An editor of a week¬
ly paper has time to investigate and
find-out facts; prepare his articles
and if necessary, rewrite his editor¬
ials, while on the large city dailies
where three editorials a day must be
written, they must necessarily be pre¬
pared in haste and in some cases
without any investigation at all.
‘The weekly newspapers go direct¬
ly into the homes of the people where
they are read by the family. Their in¬
fluence can hardly be measured and
the editors should awaken to the pos¬
sibilities of their publications.”— 1
Sandersvilie ProgTcss.
Commonest Mistakes
Judge McCormick, of San Francis¬
co, says these are the thirteen com¬
monest mistakes of life:
1. To attempt to set up your own
standards of right and wrong.
2. To try to measure the enjoy¬
ment of others by your own.
3 ’ To ex P ect uniformity of opin
j ‘ ons ‘ n tk ' s wor * (k
| inexperience. 4 ’ To fal1 to make allowances for
5. To endeavor to mold all disposi¬
tions alike.
6 . Not to yield to unimportant
trifles. .
7. To look for perfection in our
own actions.
8 . To worry ourselves and others 1
about what cannot be remedied. I
9. To consider a thing impossible j
that we ourselves cannot perform. I
'
10. Failing to help everybody,
wherever, however and whenever we :

can. 1

finite minds can grasp. !

were 756 dead and not quite 2,000 In¬

The story of the Red Cross service
In the past year, recounted by the re
port, ranges from fires heading the list
of destructive forces with 29 disasters,
to mine explosions, tornadoes, ty
phoons, floods and earthquakes.
The Santa Barbara earthquake was
among the outstanding events record
ed in the report. The Red Cross had
completed its relief organization on
the scene within a few hours of the
disaster, and in addition had launched
a program designed to permanently
restore every person affected by it,
to his former status once more.
The Red Cross service in the period
following the wreck of the Navy air¬
ship “Shenandoah'’ was typical of its
promptness and effectiveness. Serv
* ce in this Instance was afforded by
Red Cross chapters in the vicinity of
the wreck, and by representatives of
the national organization. It demon¬
strates graphically the value of each
of the more than 3,000 chapters of
the society which are at work In vir- j
tually every part of the country, in
the facility they afford the national
organization in emergencies.
There were 61 domestic disaster op¬
erations reported in which the Red
Cross rendered service either through
chapter or national staff personnel
during the year. In 34 of these the

j Strong Membership Appeal
In Red Cross Digester Relief
Asking themselves “What If dtsas
ter should visit our city?” the leading
citizens of many communities of the
United States have adopted the Scout
motto to “Be Prepared.”
Impressed by the frequency and the
wide range of peace time calamities
in their country, they have organized
their communities with the thorough¬
ness which normal conditions permit,
against the possibility of a time when
there will be no chance for thought
or plan. Red Cross Chapters in many
localities are similarly prepared.
