A Thought For The Day He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.—1 John 2:4. The finest ami noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on which nothing is assumed.—Emerson. • prosperity on the farms in Turner county on a practi cal . and permanent basis, and this is what must bo ., done on every farm if the state is going to continue to progress for the, future. $cre are the significant items—that are worth considering. Athens, it is estimated, consumes an nually half a million dollars worth of poultry pro- dtn,'(: ; , and it is doubtful if $80,000.00 worth of this sura is produced in the nearby trade territory of the city. Why not keep this money at home, circulating in trade the year round, and remaining permanently in thd bank deposit figures of this section? How much money would you say Georgia sends out of the state anntmlly to pay for its buttor bill? Some estimate it as much ns the state gets for its cotton crop. Recent figures show that Georgia last year prcftiuced 979,000 pounds of creamery butter, while tho state of Minnesota produced over 170 times as miiih, viz., 170 million pounds. These figures indi- that way out for both our fnrms and for our i. The Chamber of Commerce can do no better ’ice for Athens at this, time than to help bring iperity to tho farms in this section. and GETTING BUSY ialf of August is gone and in n few weeks Athens its trade territory will be in the midst of a busy prosperous fall season. In addition to the quick- jg in the business world that tho fall season and thc^gathering of the crops make all over the country, this mobilizing at the same time of the vast school iirrtly of the Nation, makes its influence felt not only in the home but in the retail stores of the country. Getting the children ready for school is generally a i rush order in most households something like the last minute Xmus-shopping. It’s got to be done and it is putoff to the last moment. It might be a good thing now while the,thought is uppermost to take time by thc'‘forclock and to get ready now to prepare for the opening of the schools. Just a few weeks must be done. Already hundreds of families who have been away for„the summer arc returning home, and this, too, Ricans a buiy.time—getting the house ready, getting cleaned up, gutting ready perhaps to make needed repairs and to have the fall painting done. In many directions the next 60 days are important—and the ides of running through most of these activities is one of getting ready—one of hope—getting in shape to do the bigger and larger and more important work of Hfe and of the ccming season. Vacation days, loaf- | ing days, easy days of the year, are almost over. Fall f and Winter with their demands of business are al- ready making their presence felt by intimations, by sut&estions, by little stirrings all over the nation, that it if high time to get ready—to get ready for what is to co me in the way of harvesting the crops, in the way of renewed school activities, in the way of a quickening of the business of the country. The peanut industry will be a source of one of theTgreatest revenues in this section next year. The fall season is near at hand and, yet no action on {he part of the Chamber of Commerce to provide a ‘ fair and amusement for our people this year. i session—extraordinary session of the legisla- i been called by Governor Walker to give the ’ the state a reasonable, safe and sane tax The governor means business and the solons ns well realize that he is determined to make his campaign promises regarding increased in- i of I ON THE PEAK i while to each mortal There comes a glorious day.

'hat iooks first to the greater prosperity of the farms around Athens, and ‘eventually to a larger bumness between the city and the country. And on this line, it is well to remember that Athens must i first buy or furnish a ready cash market for all the products the surrounding territory can raise, before Athens can sell other things to this same territory. Under the old one-crop cotton system Athens de veloped a great cotton market, with every facility for financing, handling, storing and selling cotton. While cotton will continue to he'raised in this section, yet under boll weevil conditions, we are confident that less cotton will be raised, while on the other hand, m of eland more corn and hay and peas, peanuts, vel vet-beans, poultry, eggs, butter, milk, hogs and cat tle, will be coming to Athens for market. After the , local demand for these products has been satisfied, Athens must be prepared to handle, ship, sell, and finSnte the surplus of such crops for the farms of this territory. This is the big problem that is facing ouf people—marketing facilities, and Athens must do *hor share in providing such facilities for the fu ture. Other parts of the states are taking up the market ing^ problems, and today we see co-operative market ing; associations being formed to market cotton, peaches, watermelons, apples from North Georgia, . cage kyrup, peanuts and pecans. Plans arc under way to extend these co-operative marketing associations to Include Itve stock, cattle and hogs, and also pout «try-iind eggs. Asian indication of what can be done along these .lin^s in this section, in bringing back prosperity to the-farms, nil of the South is atudyihg the results ob tained in Turner county, Georgia. They are building m Oner in a while you’rn a wonder Anyway, that's how you fool. You am a marvol, by thunder! You are the Mur r.f life’s reel. Maybe your thrill is Boon ended.

Gilbert plays a dual role—twin brothers, both soldiers of France in the world war, but diametrically op posite in character and disposi tion. One is red-blooded, the other white-livered. Gilbert has been a star for only a short time. He has, however, made greater strides than any other player appearing on the sil ver sheet. Although an .actor of marked ability when firMt cast for a stellar role, his improvement, as witnessed in his present vehicle, is declared to be most remarka ble. ‘‘Honor First” is at the Strand Theatre now.
