ABOUT DOG DAYS, ETC.
The dictionary is usually a rella
ble guide. It will answer many
complicated questions and many
simple ones as well. The sultry
weather Auburn has been treated
to prompted a little research along
the line of dog days. Webster de
fines them thus:
"A period from four to six weeks
between early July and early Sep
tember; popularly the sultry, close
part of the Summer."
By both definitions, then, we are

The Bulloch Herald, published
for many years at Statesboro, has
been suspended for the duration of
the war. Leodel Coleman is the
last of the three brothers formerly
connected with the Herald, has en

been sent to Parris Island for re

It will be of interest to local
friends of Miss Lucile Thompson, of
Ellaville, until recently a member
of the Butler school faculty, to
know that she has accepted a po
sition as assistant postmaster in
her home town. The appointment
was made last week by Postmaster
James A. Hart. She succeeds Edward
King who has been accepted’ for
Army service.

Before long Wiudlife Rangers will
be showing farmers, sportsmen and
youngsters how to lure crows to de
coy calls so they can kill the good-
for-nothing rascals. For, according
to Wildlife Director Zack D. Cravey,
crows are causing extensive dam
age to crops, as well as to game
and song birds and the Division is
receiving numerous appeals to
"help get rid of them.”—Walton
Tribune. If Bro. Cravey cares to
put on a show that is a real show
in exterminating these robbers we
suggest that he call to his help and

Considerable discussion has fol

The Journal commends Chief of
Police Jim Moore for his vigilance
in suppressing the activities of i
pseudo-religious groups that would '
poison the mind of some through
non-patriotlc literature. For ex
ample—
Can any red-blooded American
understand how anyone could re
fuse to salute the Stars and
Stripes?
Can any red-blooded American
understand how anyone would re
fuse to bear arms in the defense
of his country?
' Yet there has been such a group
right here in Albany. Literature ad
vocating these departures from our
Simon-pure doctrines of American-1
ism has been either sold or given
away. One person was arrested and
fined in police court.
There is never any time for such
trash to be permitted to circulate,
but particularly now with this
country fighting for its existence.
It's time to call a spade and to
get hard-boiled in an emphatic
manner. • I
Let's hope the Albany police de-'
partment maintains its vigilance i
over such things and makes it so,
unpleasant for such outsiders that I
they'll seek other fields to carry
on their nefarious and unpatriotic

MAN AND THE MULE, AS TOLD
BY THE MAN
The following item isn't new,” re-,
marks the Editor of the Walton;
Tribune, Monroe, Ga., "but it pro
vides a bit of clean humor for a
torrid summer season and for a
moment will divert our thoughts
from war:” !
"Over the hill trailed a man be-'
hind a mule drawing a plow. Says i
the man to the mule: j
“Bill, you are a mule, the son
of a jackass, and I am a man made
in the image of God. Yet, here wei
work, hitched together year in and
year out. I often wonder if you work
for me or I for you. Sometimes I
think this is a partnership between
a mule and a tool. For hurely I
work as hard as you, if not harder
Plowing here we cover the same
distance but you do it on four legs
and I on two. So, mathematically
speaking, I do twice as much per
leg as you do.
“Soon we'll be preparing a corn
crop. When the crop is harvested,
I give one-third to the landlord
for being kind enough to let me
use this corner of God's universe.
The other third goes to you, and
what is left is mine. But white
you consume all of your third with
the exception of a few cobs, I'di
vide my third among seven chil
dren, six hens, two ducks and a
banker.
Bill you are getting the best or
me; it ain't fair for a mule, the son
of a jackass, to rob a man—the lord
of greatin—of his substance. Arid

Speaking of crops in this section
bf the State, Taylor County seems
“to be there with the goods” this
season. And best of all, our farmers
have certainly co-operated in a
most commendable manner to
make the Food for Victory Program
mean everything the name implies.
The corn, cotton, potatoes, pimen-
toes, peaches, watermelons and pea
nuts are producing abundantly de
spite the adverse circumstances
arising from unfavorable weather.
In addition to these, poultry and
live-stock are being produced by
our farmers on a much larger scale
than ever before dreamed would be
the case, and these have proven
most valuable assets to the farm
ers in matter of ready cash in cul
tivating their crops. On the whole
our farmers have much for which
to be thankful this season; so have
nearby towns and cities which
have depended largely on the far
mers of this section for food. It is
encouraging, especially in these
. critical times, to realize that the
farmers are producing to their ca
pacity, in many instances and have
record-breaking yields about ready
for harvest in addition to those al
ready harvested from time to time
throughout the first half of tne
year.

The annual convention of the
3rd Congressional District Masonic
Convention, which is to be held in
Butler on Tuesday of next week
serves to call attention to the fact
that Masons throughout the world
have thrown all their energies and
resources into the effort to stamp
out dictators. It has been claimed
that Masons first lighted the fires
at the Boston Tea Party that led
the colonies to eventually gain
their freedom. Hitler and his kind
are doing their best to stamp out
the Masonic fraternity. This fra
ternity, of ancient origin and dedi
cated to the cause of liberty and
freedom, will long be a constructive
force after Hitler and his gangsters
are forgotten. It is a pleasure to
welcome the district convention to
our city and we confidently believe
that the cordiality with which the
more than 150 expected visitors re
ceive while here will impress them
with the desire to make Butler
their permanent meeting place for
their annual conventions.
