The statement is going the rounds of the press that “Georgia Should Feed Florida. *» Georgia should feed Georgia first. Every once in awhile we are reminded by officials and news papers that every year Georgia buys from other states many millions of dollars worth of meat, and more millions of poultry, eggs, dairy products, feedstuffs and other things.

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?

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!

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 Famous Streets The shortest street in the world is Rue Bie, Paris, The dirtiest street in the world is ,, „ Tchangatt, , .. ..

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.

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.

A new high level In peace time membership of the American Junior Red Cross is recorded for 1925—its ranks numbering 5,738.648 school girls and boys—a gain of 142,000. This unique and powerful children’* organization started as a war meas¬ ure. but today Is one of the greatest influences for peace ever known. An increasing participation in local pro grams of service has featured their year’s growth, it is indicated that to a greater degree than ever pupils In the schools are performing individ¬ ual and collective acts of service in a true Red Cross spirit The success of the Junion swimming program, launched last year through cooperation of the Life-Saving Serr ice of the Red Cross, has led toads termination to make it a regular tea tore of both these branches, An outstanding feature of the Juniors' work this vear was the par ticipatlon for the first time of a Junior Red Cross worker !u the disaster re operation* following the tornado in Missouri, Illinois, and Indian*, In many more fortunate local displayed a keen Interest In sending toy* and books for the use the children in the disaster The Junior Red Cross porgram has not alone in settled com- 1 but has been extended to schools, and to native Alaekaa ' where many Eskimo children Junior work.

Red Cross Chapters in many localities are similarly prepared. \ V Hard, but Worth While r 'Heaven,' says thfe old-fashioned saw, 'Is an income of a dollar and an outlay of ninety cents, while hell is an income of a dollar and an out¬ go of a dollar ten.” The creation of even a small surplus Is the simplest thing in the world to plan and the hardest thing in the world for most people to carry out.
