IF' Of all times, now is the time for our people to get together and organize, and begin a campaign for a bigger ami better Athens. The day of the dema gogue; tlie disturber; the office seeker; the citizen with selfish motives ahd the citizen who plays politics and seeks to ride into office or secure popularity by hunting up some measure to array class prejudice has passed. This is no time for such issues; it is a time when every effort of every good citizen should be put forward for the building of a greater and more substantial community. It can he done and Athens can set the pace with a progressive and up building policy which will stamp it as a constructive city—a piece for homeseekers and investors. The world war brought prosperity and the country ran riot for four years with a flow of money and spend ing- It was a lavish period and with all the prosper ity and money-making during the war, as soon ns hostilities ceased, the pendulum of prosperous times • swung backward and the whole country experienced a shock frem the panic. In addition the ravages of the boll weevil drove the farmer and cotton grower to despair, and with devastated cotton fields, our ag ricultural interests suffered almost starvation. However, this year the farmers went to work with a determination to whip the boll weevil and re cuperate from the losses. So far they have succeed ed and unless there is an unusuully wot season in August a normal crop, to the acreage, will be made. Foodstuff will be plentiful and prosperity will re turn irt the fall. But even with, this encouraging condition before us, we must remember that it re quires: more than this to build our city and make of it what the |ft>ssibilitics are. Our people must come together cither through the Chamber of Commerce or in mass meeting and work as determinedly as has the farmer to whip the boll weevil and we will be re warded for our efforts. No city can grow and pros per without harmony and concerted action v on the part of the whole citizenship. We must pull together and in unison strive for one end—for the good of our city. There is much for our Chamber of Commerce to do this year. Its purpose and its very life is to be active and initiative in all matters pertaining to the community and its good. An organization without properly functioning is a draw-back to the commun ity, and a drone rather than a builder. The mem bership is large and the representation covers all lines of industries. There is an uncultivated field for this organization from which to enter if it is tilled properly vast returns will come to the community. Lfct, the Chamber of Commerce take the lead and call regularly meetings of that organization and let the business men; the professional men; the laymen und the ladles of the community meet and exchange views on things for yie good of Athens. Much can be accomplished and this organization made one of the chief assets of the city. Let us have harmony, concert of action; a con structive program for the building of a greater city, and forget and forgive any past differences,_and have only one goal in sight, a landing point for n greater Athens. It can be done and now is the oppor tune tftne. , I've heard of each view that you took, how you shot it, The why and the where and the when; * I’ve heard of your lens, just how cheaply you got it, Again and again and again!

Officials in some cities do not appreciate the tree as they should, and for that reason there are few cultivated and protected as they should be. , A tree is a most valuable asset to any community from not only a shade standpoint, but from a civic standpoint as well. Nothing adds more to the appearances of the street 1 -, and nvenucs than does the shade tree and no improvement for the value received is less expensive. In Philadlphia a few weeks ago, a storm blew down and destroyed a century-old elm tree. The park commission valued this-tree at $25,000 and is seeking to find another tree to take its place. Large cities prize the trees and parks above any other fea tures and every precaution is taken to preserve and sustain the trees whether in the parks or on the streets. We should not only he interested in the preserva tion of our trees in parks and on the streets, but we should use every effort to preserve the forests of the state. It is rapidly passing away and unless legisla tion is enacted and enforced for the rehabilitation of the forests, this state will suffer in more ways than one. Athens should inaugurate a systematic oampaign for planting trees throughout the city and see to it that there are a certain number planted each year and that those now in growth be cared for and prop erly treated as though they were stock and valuable implements used in the construction of the city’s needs. The work of education to the value of trees should be carried on consistently by the municipality in a broadguaged way for the reforestation of the trees through the city, county and state. S.S.
