appropriations for aviation
Now that it has been successfully demonstrated by
the ^office department that the art of aviation can
bc C utilized for commercial purposes, congress should
( gee to it that sufficient appropriations are made for
; the support and maintenance for an aerial system for
[ ^TheTecent 1 demonstration of ocean to ocean postal
* flight fhouTd be sufficient proof to the members of
1 congress of the importance 'and necessaty » a"^ a
6. ranable of meeting any foe from a uiswnce or
1 several thousand miles, and yet only a few houre or
so away. There is no telling when this country may
V be forced into war. Such an occurence, however it
1 fa hoped will never take place again, but if it should,
I to bp .prepared would mean much towards a victory.
The mode of warfare has changed and as it has been
I recitei and predicted that future wars will bo fodght
' from airplanes and the mode of destruction willbe
from poison thrown fuom the airplanes rather than
from powder and bullets.
While the commercial side of the aerial system
' should be considered and encouraged by the govern-
C ment,‘We should not lose sight of the necessity■ of
havin^'our army and navy equipped in the fullest for
aerial Yervicc. • . ,
The'airplane can be made of great economic ser
vice to-the American people. Accidents to passen
gers can be reduced by requiring certain restrictions
on all aviators before they are.allowed to pilot a ma
chine. .The day is coming when such service will be
perfected by allowing only experienced and educat
ed aviators to drive machines, the accidents will be
roduedd to a minimum, less possibly than the nufnber
of accidents now occuilng with automobiles.
It is hoped that Congress will give favorable con
sideration to appropriations for the development and
improvement of aerial service both for commercial
purposes and for protection of our country in case of
war.

S THE BEE CULTURE IN GEORGIA
The bee culture in this section of Georgia can be
developed into an industry of much importance. This
section is now producing a great deal of honey but
the production can be increased ten fold if our peo
ple would become w'erested and prepare for it
properly. \
, New crops and new industries are coming into the
. agriculturHl field so rapidlyj|ti:i»'like making a for
tune over night. Our resources are so great and
plentiful there is no limit to the opportunities' for
making one if we apply ourselves, , t j/ ; j
Since our people have realized that they can mako
a living without planting cotton as a solo depirid-
1 once, they have found so many other avenues open
for development that it is just a matter of choice of
which they will take. Poultry, hogs and cattle rais
ing ore among the most profitable, and then there fa
peanuts and tobacco, alfalfa, foodstuff of all kind;
sweet and Irish potatoes especially arc in demand
the year round in all parts of the country. Under
the diversification system of farming th/ere is not a
month in the year but that some crop can be pro
duced which fa a,ready money crop. In fact there fa
no linp of business which offers more opportunities
for money-making than agricultural pursuits. The
man who owns his farm and is not nfraid of work
. has safer opportunities to make money than has the
banker or merchant.
-r ’The young man who enters the field of agriculture
has brighter prospects before him to amass a for-,
tune than tnosc entering any line of commercial pur
suits. Farming is'a safer business, oven with boll
weevil conditions, than the average commercial in
dustry. There fa less chance to lose on the 'farm
than there fa in financial investment jn stocks, bonds
and merchandise. Farming is the coming business
for the .nation nnd especially in the south. . Its re
sources are unlimited and scarcely developed. Suc
cess in life nwaits the young man who chooses farm
ing for his life Work.

PEPPER RAISING PROFITABLE CROP
Uutts county farmers have chipped several car
loads of pimento peppers this season, from which
t they have realized practically $65,000. The aver-
g age yield to the acre is two and a half tons and the
| contract price was $30 per ton.
Early in the year a packing house in Macon con-
I traded with the farmers of Butts county to plant
i 1,500 acres in peppers. It was a new crop for the
[ farmers in that county, but they undertook the cul
tivation of peppers and the result for this year fa
nv>it gratifying. It is understood that the acreage
will be greatly increased another year and it is be-
_!ieved that the pepper crop will prove a more profit-
jjjjHae one than the cotton crop.
Hi pepers can be grown successfully in Butts, ccr-
^Wainly they can be grown successfully in this and ad
it joining counties. It is the opportune time for our
w people to investigate contracts for next year and in
ft each county in this section the crop can be made a
E profitable on*
Placing such contracts would be timely work for
the Athens Chamber of Commerce which could act as
a clearing house for this entire section and arrange
for the distribution of the pepper crop through
packing houses and other agencies.
Pepper prrowing in this section is worth investi
gating. It can be made a profitable industry and
create a new ready money crop for this section.

IDKen you run out
of Gasoline /
there is a most effective danger signal to
warn you—your car comes to a stop with
out any particular amount of damage
being done. It is different when you run
out of lubricating oil in your motor: there
are no warning signals, nothing to flag
your attention until great damage has
been done. f
The greatest single factor in the eco
nomical and efficient operation of a motor
car is the proper lubrication ofite engine..
Sufficient quantity, the right quality, the
proper weight or grade, and the frequent
replacement of oil are the things you
want to watch.
You can solve all these problems by
putting nothing in your crank case but
Polarine, consulting the chart of recom
mendations to determine just what grade
your car requires, and renewing your oil
completely after it has been used for six
or seven hundred miles.'
There is no variation in the qualify of
Polarine. Wherever you see a dealer who
displays a Polarine sign, you may feel as
sured that you can get there the finest
motor oil on the market to-day.
