INCREASE OUR INDUSTRIES The growing and flourishing cities throughout the country are the cities which have many small indus tries. It is true that the larger industries we have the more benefits are derived to the general chan nels ot commerce, but after all it is the small manu facturing plant which contributes much to the up building and growth of all communities. With in creased payrolls in Athens, business would soon take ■ on an entirely new growth and become not only sub stantial, but stable in all lines and every week would be a good week for business to the merchants. Our cotton crop in this section, of course, has been our dependence since the civil war, but under boll wee vil conditions, if we are to succeed, we must diversify our crops and raise more foodstuff. Another highly important industry which has not been cultivated to any degree of proportion is that of cattle and hog raising. This industry can be made one of the most profitable of all. With diversified crops and increased manufactur ing enterprises, Athens can be made the hub for this entire section of the state and the trade extension carried over an area which has not been reached in the past. Concerted action on the part of our people and active co-operation on the part of our Chamber of Commerce should be inaugurated for the purpose of encouraging the establishment of new manufac turing industries and bring about increased payrolls each week. It can be done and with the proper effort many small industries can be brought here and others organized with local capital. The time has come when we must do something to arouse a spirit of building and in building we must have an eye to the smaller plant, which in numbers, will be worth as i -h to the city as will a large one. It may be depended upon that a city which has small factories has a safe future before it, in fact, a much safer future than a community which is domi nated by some-particular line of business. THEIR EYES ON US Athens is unddubtedly the ‘‘metropolis” of north east Georgia. Time after time our newspaper friends, in their meetings here, have told us that their people are depending oh Athens to lead industrially, com mercially and agriculturally in this section. The eyes of the northeast Georgia people are on - Athens. There,is no doubt as to that. The editors of this section should know what they are talking about and they say so, and editors do not usually say what they do not believe although some folks do insist “you cannot believe what’s in the newspaper!”' Athens should and is awakening to its responsi bility, its duty to the people of this section. One of its greatest needs at the present time is more indus tries. If we haven't the power to supply these indus tries a real effort must be made to get it. As to aiding in the agricultural development there is no doubt but that the cold storage established by the Atlantic Ice & Coal Corporation, the Abattoir and the Curb Market, will as a Hartwell visitor, So licitor General A. S. Skelton said while here recent- , iy, “make Athens the marketing center for north- , east Georgia.” Solicitor Skelton declared that the farmers of this part of northeast Georgia are diversifying and the time will come when they must find an outlet for their surplus products. They are depending on Athens to provide the machinery for marketing their crops. For our own good as well as that of the farmers of this section we must not let up in the splendid begin ning made in the cold storage, abattoir and curb - market. QABSON ADVISES MERCHANTS TO ADVERTISE Roger W. Babson, the famous statistical and busi ness expert, in a recent letter discussing conditions, ' gives the following advice to merchants: ! “During the next few months |ocpl merchants ; ' should advertise. National manufacturers are utiliz- , i ihg the great power of advertising in the distribution ;* of their products. The successful department stores . are also usingJarge space in the newspapers; but the ! ' smaller retaiHr has yet failed to advertise as he i' r should. Perhaps this is Why he ik small—one cannot ;‘ t : tell. There surely is some reason why the people t flock to one merchant and pass by another. "Statistics certainly indicate that the reason is closely connected with the advertising. > Let me also take this occasion to urge retailers to use the news papers in a dignified way rather than attempting to use billboards and novetly contrivances. “During the past two months I have motored con- sideralily throughout different sections of the coun- . try. At almost every cross-road is some sort of a sign j— a windmill or something else sold to some bank or merchant who thought he had discovered a cheaper or more effective method of advertising than his newspaper offered. “-As a matter of fact, he unconsciously disfigures ■ : the highways, endangers life and makes enemies in stead of friends. Merchandising is a profession and should be treated in a dignified way. Moreover, how ba 2h 8 -f‘ I 5 8 . dopt cheap appearing methods of ; publicity is beyond the comprehension of most busi- - ness men. Yet I understand the temptation, having once fallen for outdoor advertising myself much against the advice of the Gundlach Advertising Agen- cy. which handles our copy.” While we were helping feed starving Russians last year, Russia exported 3600 million pounds of grain This is announced by the Soviet department of statist tics m Moscow. It also predicts that grain exports over there will be three times as much In 1923. This v««t quantl-| — * , .— w-Aj/ut dux vast quanti- tio.s of eggs and nceduring their last big famine.

He is a native Georgian and hails from Milton county. Some years ago he entered professional baseball and was sign ed by the Augusta team, in the Sally league. His pitching attract ed so much attention until the big leaguers sought him and finally Brooklyn bought him from the Au gusta club in 1907. Ho made good on that team which is evidenced by bis retention ever since with the Brooklyn club. He is now doing field work, his arm having gone lwtck on him some seasons ago. However, he is young and in splen did shape and it may be that he will be found again leading Ills team mates to victory. ' Wo never met “Nap” before, but Ills brother, George Rucker, wh< was editor and owner of (he A1 •pharetta Free frean was a life long friend. He was one of the most versatile and virile writers we have ever known. He called a spade a spade and never minced words. True to hfs convictions, po litical, civic and otherwise no one was ever known to ibave shaken him from that which he believed to be right. He stood for issues and advocated them regardless of con sequences. In hie death tho press of Georgia lost one of its ablest and foremost writers. something besides the bass drum and cymbal.

Here are a few sugges tions offered by an exchange for the censorship of circuses, which If followed, would Improve the per formances and protect the public from the many shot# worn practices to be found In the average circus: “Furnish genuine stale peanuts that are three or four years old and not half-stale ones that merely succeed in being soggy. “Abolish llie four-inch board seats the impression of which a patron carries for a month after witnessing a performance. “Retire on a pension the pieco of lemon peel that-lias served in the tub of lemonade so long and faithfully. “Refuse to adniit any old guy who claims he comet just to bring the children. “Teach every elephant to walk without grabbing hold of some other elephant’s.tall. “Do not always have the most interesting stunt down in tho other end of the (ent. . “Have pojicorn bricks that can be broken with the human teeth.
