Few of them have the money in the bank to do this'with, and still less of them would do it if they had, and take the chances on all going in and none coming out on the old plan of the all-cotton-money-crop system. ' Hard times and the exigencies of the situation have at last been sufficient to convince them of the wisdom of Jim Smith’s policy, and Jim Smith of Og lethorpe’County, who made more money farming than any other man in Georgia, made it a rule always to have something which he could readily convert into cash, so as to keep a plenty of cash on hpnd at all times and readily available for all purposes. Consequently, his cotton was a surplus crop, and the expenses of running his plantation being paid as he wont, tin re was no chance to squeeze him and get his cotton for an inadequate price. In fact, it was well known that Jim Smith’s cotton stayed in the warehouse at Smithonia and waited for the top notch price to command get it. And it stayed there sometimestill two or three crops accumulated before Jim Smith would let it go. When the cotton buyers would get to actually howling for cotton, they would go up to Jim Smith’s and talk all kinds of miscellaneous and assorted pretty talk and then perhaps Jim Smith, as a great favor, and more to get rid of them than anything else, woufd let them have his cotton at the top of the market. Now wasn’t this a much smoother way of arranging matters than being forced to sell when he didn’t want to sell? Everything was satisfactory all round nnd everything lovely and the goose hung high. They got the cotton and Jim got the cash. Cash and diversified cropping are going to provo the salvation of the South. The tendency now is to specialize on particular tilings. The watermelon growers havo formed a watermelon growers associa tion to grow melons and market them. The Valdosta folks have already shipped a car of watermelons. Watermelons will be bringing in cash in great wa^ds while cotton is blooming. ‘Creameries are being es tablished in various parts of the state and cows are now rated at what they yield a month. .Hay sales arc getting frequent and popular and hogs on the hoof are being sold, one or a thousand for cash. Pouches arc moving and the stream of cash is setting in towards the South. Even cotton, mixed as it is with boll weevils, can be produced in quality and quantity in no other country bn earth. This being the case, is not the South the place to live? One wpek from today the 'for tho educational system. What- general assembly of Georgia [ever is done In the way of legla- wil!

Barrow, known to thousands of old “Georgia” boys all over the. country a 3 “Undo Dave,” the lovable head of the University ol Georgia system of higher education, was Tuesday accorded a deserving tribute by the personnel of the State Col lege of Agriculture. He was presented with u hand some loving cup, given in love und appreciatioTirto a “teacher, a scholar, a leader,” bearing the names on a scroll of the donors. During the past sixteen years the Agricultural College has grown' from a mere department, and a very inactive one at that, to the greatest institution of its kind in the South. This marvclc is growth has been under tho presidency of Dr. Andrew M. Soule, ono of the really great agriculturalists and farm scientists of the country. His aggressiveness, his determination, even under adverse circumstances and in the face of obstacles that would have discouraged the average man,‘have carried this institution, along with the co-operation and encouragement from Chan cellor Barrow, to the high position it now occupies in the list of Agricultural colleges of the nation. The growth of the Agricultural College will for ever stand out as the crowning event of the chancel lorship of Mr. Barrow. Great strides have been made by the University during the time since he suc ceeded the lovable Dr. Hill, a man of vision and whose plants are now being carried in the extension of tho University campus, but it is hardly probable that any of there achivoments will overshadow the great growth of the Agricultural College, the institution that honored the Chancellor Tuesday in a manner that bespeaks respect, devotion, love, loyalty and co-operation. Summer. Baseball in Athens will succeed in only such a measure as the people of the city support it Talk of summer baseball here comes as regular as does spring. This summer it is a reality so it is squarely up to the public to support it Are - you planning to do your share? The highway department could do more by- iron ing out some of those bumps that remain for weeks in roads it has taken over than by writing a whole lot of articles in answer to charges made against it What the public wants is visible results and roads once put in shape and never scraped don’t illustrate these re sults. On May S there were 25,248 veterans of the World War receiving treatment in hospitals under the aus pices of the Veterans’ Bureau. It has been estimated that there are 265,813 dis abled evterans of the war having approved claims with the Bureau. There are 182,238 receiving com pensation, while 83,238 veterans arc receiving voca tional training under Section 2 of the Rehabilitation Act, which provides training with maintenance pay. Tim 265,81’i ilisabled veterans include only* men'with . a disability of 10 pgr cent or mor* ,, -x . iiAo- At the present time there are 13,349 veterans with a rating of permanent total disability, and four rated as double permanent total disability. up Is the question of taxation, which must be solved In order to •ftse the revenue of the state to meet the actual needs of tho ed ucational Institutions for higher learning. So far no definite plan has been agreed upon, but It Is believed that Governor Walker will solve tho problem which is one of the most vexing of all matters per taining to the affairs of the state. It has been suggested that an ad ditional tax of one cent the gal lon be placed on gasoline, nnd th«t a tax of ono cent the gallon be placed on oils. This appears to us ns being tho most feasahln propo sition for ready money which must tress whi°h It Is now facing. Another important matter which is likely to be brought up at this session Is the bill providing for biennial sessions of the legislature. Last year Sen ator Monday had Introduced such a measure which passed the house, hut was not passed on by the sen ate. It is believed that this hill will be passed this year. Tho meas ure provides for a referendum which, of course, can not bo voted on until next year, but In tho event of Its ratification, tho law would become effective In 1925.

This warning, by physicians, is particu larly applicable this season of the year, when your system “let* down" In tone and vigor with the first approach of warm weather. What are the warnings that na ture gives you of the approach of Indigestion? The medical books tell ds: 1. Ons, which means that your food Is fermenting instead of digesting, 2. A feeling of fullness or oppression In the region of the stomach after eating. This means that the gas has ballooned your stomach and Is preening up against your heart and lungs. 3. A dull, laay feeling, which means that you are not getting nourish ment from what you. are eAtlng. 4. Itentlessness, un-refreehlng sleep/ which means that the poisons of Indigcstin are disturbing your brain nnd nerves. 6 Sometimes; ■Pain and fluttering around the heart, though this symptom may coin© later. Don’t take chances with Indigos- tlon—you are toq apt to lose. If you have had any of the symptoms mentioned above, get your digestive organs to work at onco with Dan- Max, the greatest prescription that was carer written for a dlgcstlvo tunic. Dan-Nax makes your di gestion "perfect and complcto.” You feel Its helpful effect from ths very first dose. Got & bottle of' Dan-Nax today at any. drug store. Dan-Nax Is so much superior to any other remedy for Indigestion that the manufacturers have In structed every druggist to refund tho prlco If you do not get relief, hires. Other states have found biennial sessions to be more sat isfactory than annual meetings and it is be Georgia would ratify such amendment if tl.^y wore given an opportunity to vote. Certainly It would prove a great saving to tbo state and would in no wlso inter fere with the legitimate machinery of the state and Its operations. 8unday was “Fathsr’s Day/' but how many of us remember ed it? Quite few, I am sure. “Mother's Day,” however, is ono which wo all remember, fath er, mother, brother and sister.

To the untrained eye, crude petroleums all look pretty much alike, but to the re finery expert their grades and qualities vary widely. The process of converting this crude oil into various products is a most interesting one. Refining, distillation and filtration bring about the separation of various "fractions”—from gasoline to roofing and paving materials. The production of a motor oil is one of the most important steps in this process; the effort being made to take out the im purities and at the same time leave in the "oiliness” or "viscosity”. is made from the heart of choicest,, selected “crudes”, in one of the world’s greatest refin eries, and by painstaking care in every step of its manufacture, it comes to you as the perfect motor oil.
