children, build, up a good town into
a better one, make the surrounding

that sort of thing. He could not go

he did the best he could to relieve

How often do we hear someone
lamenting the fact that he cannot

them to talk Georgia and Georgia
products to the end taht full use is
made of he advantages and oppor
tunities offered so abundantly.
The movement was given impetus
with ith Georgia Products week ob
servance, set aside by Governor Riv-
I ers, during which the state’s prod
ucts will be stressed and interest
generated to create greater demand
for products—farm and industrial-
produced within the state’s -boun
daries. Possibilities of this effort are
limitless and will unquestionably do
much to focus attention upon home-
manufactured products and to in
crease the use of them within the
state.
The Georgia Power company,
whose officials have always mani
fested a profound interest In tho
state and its development, is under
taking a program that runs hand in
hand with the governor’s observance.
It is -being announced under tn«
heading of "It's Great to -be a Geor
gian," and will unfold the story of
Georgia and the advantages the state
offers in many fields.
Under the sulb-head “A Job For
All Georgians,” it says, “Let’s tell
it to friends in other sections ot
the country—to business acquaint
ances—to commercial correspondents
—to visit in our state—to those who
know us and therefore are most
ready to hear our story with eager
ness and to inquire into the oppor
tunities Georgia offers them. Let’s
direct our efforts for Georgia where
they can do the most immediate
good.
“This is a job in which- we all can
have a part.. You can give it per
sonal, intimate touch that will add
both force and reality. All you need
is an interest in seeing -Georgia
grow. That feeling is uppermost in
the mind of every straight-thinking
Georgian—whether he is guided by
his ipocketbook or by purest patriot
ism.”
A commendable spirit has -been
displayed and if it is caught readily
by Georgians, they will realize what
Georgia offers and will begin ex
ploiting the state in a manner that
will encourage growth and expansion
and -will enable those from less for
tunate sections to share the bounties
with which Georgia has been
richly endowed.
FIRST FEDERAL PLANS
PROGRAM
built -wrong? Is it -that we desire
the things we ought not to have or
do not need? Or is it that the world
is built wrong? If there is enough
in the world to satisfy , all human
needs and wants, why it is that the
needs and wants of some must go
unsatisfied ?
These are questions which many
are asking. Some are jumping to the
conclusion that the individual him
self is right in his wants while the
world is w-rong. Hence, the thing to
do is to agitate for a new social
order or in the event he docs not
choose to ally to himself others ol
like mind, he may start out on his
own initiative. If he does this we
call him a robber, bandit or thief
or some other equally opprobious
name. If he takes the other course
he is an insurrectionist or com
munist.
Before passing final judgment on
these questions one way or the oth
er it might be well to ask ourselves
why is it that we want anything?
Should- it not -be possible to so train
our desires and our natures so that
we would be satisfied with what we
had? In the event that someone
ssould insist that this would reduce
us to animal existence we might say
there have been people who seem to
be thinking in that direction. "1
have learned,” said a prominent char
acter in religious history, “that in
whatever state I am therewith to t>e
content.” The stoics, led by tho
great philosopher Zeno, took the po
sition that man must conquer his
desires and natures e-ven to the point
of overcoming by mere force of will
all physical pain and suffering.”
Thus we find ourselves in the
midst of conflicting ideas when we
try to philosophize on the question
of the inability of man to supply his
wants or te inequality between man's
demands and his ability to supply
these demads. Someone has said that
the purpose of education is to help
people understand what they want
and how to bet it. We do not know
how true a definition this is tho we
would be prone to accept it if educa
tion- could really teach people what
they ought to want and ought nol
to iwantjiow they ought to get it and
ought not to get it, and- finally, what
they ought to do if they do not get
it.

Fire, as a s-ource of power, in one
of nature’s most potent agencies
whether used to comfort or destroy.
A good friend when under control, it
beoomes a destructive enemy if out
of bounds.
How and when first revealed to
man, no one -knows. Perhaps light
ning originated the bames that pri
meval -man must have regarded with
terrified awe as a visitation direct
from the heavens. However the ori
gin, the creation of fire by friction
long preceded the sulphur -match
which made of it a quick simple ope
ration.
There are other fires that glow or
rage, as orators, poets, and teachers
love to describe. The fires of ambi
tion for freedom burned in the
hearts of our ancestors, stirring them
to purchase for us rights and free
dom at a cost that we can never ful
ly grasp.
The fires of indignation boil in the
blood of all -true patriots as they see
these rights threatened, as they are
now, by ignorance, communism, and
indifference to political responsibili
ty.
In the h-uman body the fires of
passion- are kept alight by feeding
them the days of -life, until, as old
age creeps on, the flame grows dim
for the fuel' is nearly consumer.
In Spain five years ago, all seem
ed peaceable enough, but under
neath the fires of rebellion were be
ing fanned -by injustices and tyran
ny. Today those embers have be
come a raging (holocaust to be
quenched only with) bloodshed.
There are fires of ruin as well af
of hope; false fires lighted by dema
gogues that temporarily outshine
those of truth. May the fire of pa
triotic resolve rebuild Georgia, puri
fy her politics, and enlarge her fu
ture ever bum brighter.
Having experienced one death
from that cause, Hartwel-l’s city coun
cil has passed an- ordinance pro
hibiting any one from riding on the
fender of an automobile.
It appears that one South Georgia
county, which has always been ear
marked for its productive soil, is
about to be sold out by the sheriff,
lock, stock, and barrel, for ad valo
rem taxes due the county by proper
ty owners, judging form the pages
of the newspaper of that county car
rying the legal advertisements. We
need the business badly, but we hope
the day will never come when the
property owners of Taylor county
are faced- with suoh a situations

RHEUMATISM
and do it the
inexpensive
too.
You can pay as high as you want
for remedies claimed to relieve the
pain of Rheumatism, Neuritis,
Sciatica, etc. But the medicine so
many doctors generally approve—
the one used by thousands of
families daily — is Bayer Aspirin
— 15^ a dozen tablets — about
1 f apiece.
Simply take 2 Bayer Aspirin
tablets with a half glass of water.
Repeat, if necessary, according to
directions.
Usually this will ease such pain
in a remarkably short time.
For quick relief from such pain
which exhausts you and keeps you
awake at night — ask for genuine
Bayer Aspirin.
