World’s sweetest songsters arc going
to Bing
Again in Atlanta with coming of
spring—
Seotti and Gigli and all of the rest,
With Zeritza to give it an added zest,
And so we’ll herewith take our stand
That Opera’s going to be truly Grand.
Competition is now so keen—
Fiercest that was ever seen—
That if you want to got the biz
You have to reach out where it is.
The best of ways for this, my lads,
b the wide use of Standard ads.
A merry Christmas to you all,
Young and old, and largo and small.
May each child get wishod-for toy;
May it be for all a day of joy.
Poland is indeed a po‘ land.
The question about Yuletlde is
whether you'll tide over or not.
Cotton ginned in Polk to Dec. lBt

Of all tho "clauses” brought to the

Personal liborty is highly dcsirnble,
but it should never bo allowed to go

The Standard’s advertisers have
bad the best of the trade for Cedar-
town and vicinity during 1922—just
aa they always do.
Many business mon rogard January
as an "off month.” The right sort of
advertising in Tho Standard will
make it one of the best months in the
year.
O You Kidiots 1
Don’t you hear the bells n-ringing,
Growing clearer every day?
It’s old Santa toward us winging

T)id you know there are 240 far

After hanging 2,000 people, a pub

Christmastide.
Christmas is next Monday.
You all know that, don’t you, chil
dren? And you grown-up children,
too?
The little folks have been talking
about Santa Claus and writing letters
to him for quite a while now, and
next Monday ho Ib coming, big fur
coat and cap, reindeer, sleigh and all
—and you’ll all see him if you have
your minds and hearts turned right
for it.
While Christmas is especially a day
of joy for the children, no one should
ever get too old and grown-up to de
rive genuine enjoyment from it.
It should not be forgotten, though,
that Christmas is really a religious
festival, and that it celebrates the
anniversary of the birth of Christ —
the most important event in this old
world’s history. It is, therefore, es
sentially a time for rejoicing with an
exceeding great joy, but not an oc
casion for “intemperance and ex
cess.”
Christmas is a time for home horn
ing and for family gatherings, and
The Standard hopes there will be
hundreds of such happy occasions in
old Polk during Christmas week.
May next Monday be indeed a Merry
Christmas, is the wish thnt The
Standard sends today to each and ev
ery one of its readers.
And if you would really enjoy this
Christmas time, don’t forget the emp
ty stockingB. The boll weevil and the
short corn crop have made ai
usual number of such stockings
throughout many sections of the
South this year, but every one should
find some Christmas remembrance In
it next Monday. It is only by help
ing in this work that you will really
have what we so heartily wish for
you—
A very Merry Christmas.
For Longer Lint.
Longer lint for cotton is ono of the
important things that can engage
the attention of Polk county farmers.
Short lint means a lower price, and
every farmer should seek to get the
best possible price for what he has to
work so hard to raise. In this connec
tion The Standard man had an inter
esting talk the other day with Mr.
Thos. O, Marshall,a Cedartown young
man who is now a prominent attorney
of Amcricus. He snys thnt the far
mers of his section havo grently im
proved their cotton tho past few
years by paying careful attention to
the selection of seed, und they guard
ngainBt a mixing of seed in ginning.
In this way they have brought tho
standard of lint up to whnt we used to
have in Northwest Georgia, while wo
have let ours run down.
Calcium Ar«enate.
Last year Hon. J. J. Brown, Com
missioner of Agriculture,was able to
make a trade for calcium arsenate
thnt saved tho farmers of Georgia
many thousands of dollars this year.
Ho has been endeavoring to do the
same for next yenr, but the manu
facturers havo taken advantage of
the senreity and the extraordinary de
mand, and hnve run the price up so
high that Mr. Brown will not accept
it.
The Georgia State Board of En
tomology, in a meeting held Doe.l3th,
passed the following resolution:
"A complete Canvass of the situa
tion has convinced the Board that the
present market quotations on white
arsenic, the raw material from which
calcium arsenate is made, have no
justification in point of fact. It is ob
vious that these high prices are due
solely to the manipulation of the mar
ket in an effort to obtain every cent
possible from Tho Southern farmers.
"The Board does not feel justified
in purchasing, and will not purchase
calcium arsenate at prcvnling prices.
Moreover, while the Board does not in
any way assume responsibility for ad
vising anyone who wishes to, not to
buy calcium arsenate, it does not rec
ommend that the generul public pur
chase it at the present prices.
"The Board is still bending every ef
fort toward making a contract which
will provide calcium arsenate at a
reasonable price, but in the event it
fails to secure a price that in its judg
ment will be reasonable to the cot
ton producers, it will decline to make
a contract for the year 1923.”
The State Board of Entomology is
composed of J. J. Brown, Chairman,
R. C. Berckmnns and T. G. Hudson.
The first Liberty Loan bonds were
not due until next spring, but the
Government paid several millions of
them off with interest in full to date
on Dec. 15th. People who refused to
heed the crazy advice to sell them at
a sacrifice—advice that well served
the big money interests—are to be
congratulated on both their good
sense and patriotism.
Praise is due the man who makes
good when conditions are bad.

CHRISTMAS BELLS
Th« great yule logs are bluing high.
The halla with holly green are drest,
And bllthsome maids and merry lade
Are .gayly clad in all their best.
And havo ye seen the fairest maid
That ere hath dwelt 'tween soa and
sea?
And for my love and for my faith,
Think ye she'll bring a gift to mot
O, ring, ye Joy-belle, gayly ring!
O, merry minstrels, harp and sing!
Fill every heart with Christmas cheer.
For Christmas comes but once a year.
The yule fire blazes warm and high,
On oakened rafter, blackened wull;
It shines upon tho fairest maid,
As down sho dances thro' the hall.
I fling my weary harp aside,
(And will she stoop to such aa I?)
1 haste to meat her underneath
The mystic branches hanging high.
O, ring, yo Joy-bells, gayly ring!
O, merry minstrels, harp and Bing!
O, fill my heart with Christmas cheer.
For Christmas comes but once a year.
Who hath so rare or fair a gift
As tills my love hath brought to me?
For I was but a minstrel lad.
A dainty, high-born maid was she.
Yet with her lips her heart she gave,
Her heart, all pure as Chflstmas snow.
And for her love and for her faith.
Fourth unto Joust and war I’ll go.
O, ring, ye jo.v-hells, gayly ring!
O, heart of mine, rejoice and sing,
For Christmas love and Christmas cheer
Shall bless our lives the whole round
year.

Douglasville, Dec. 14th.
Dear Sir:—I am enclosing one and
one-half dollars with which to ad
vance my subscription in renewal. I
want to thank The Standard for its
fairness to me and the many cour
tesies extended to me during the past
twelve years of official life I have
spent with the good people of Polk
county. You have a very warm place
in my heart, and I am proud to re
member you as a fair newspaper and
edited by a mighty clever gentleman.
And to the boys with you who have
been so clever and nice to me during
my trips to Cedartown I feel very
grateful for their many courtesies. I
want your paper a visitor to me in the
future, and if I get behind give me
a nudge and I will pay up.
Very truly yours,
J. R. HUTCHESON.
