Let’ sShow Them We Don't Need a 'Professional' In City; Chancellor And Agriculture It Is bad enough that pro fessional hawksters should have to be employed to pro* mote the ante of the 8toue Mountain Memorial coins after & government that is dominat ed by a iKilltlcal party that bus been practically taboo In tho Kouth rhould have voted them, but when the people of Geor gia, home of* the great memo rial, have to be prodded into Inlying them It becomes almost a trnverety on our reputed loy alty to the men who fought and died for the principles involved In the War Between the 8tate* People as a whole do not relish the Idea of having a profes sional promoter telling them whut their patriotic and sen timental duty Is but It seems that Georgians will not awoken to the duty that is before them In the matter of these coins, volunnrlly and hence we hive to listen to these stcrotyped appeals of professionals rather than those who really have Ibelr heart In the Memorial. 80, why ean't Athens come to tho front of her own volition and buy her quota of these coins and have a 100 percent share In the building of this unpre cedented monument? To keep peace in a number of families no names will he divulged but tty* column has had several Inquiries slnee last Monday'where those “bellme- lers" referred to could be pur chased' One mau remarked Thursday, "You know you can notice now that every tJmo tho rusfle of a skirt is heart! prac- - flenity all male conversation stops around Iho entrance of w 8.

T?»e com mittee that started the play grounds tu Athens did so with funds raised here and there rthnul calling on any appro priating body for a penny. This method of keeping the summer play places open cannot be eg- turfed to maintain them and other agencies will have to come to their support* Ath- rh'kfren need summer playgrounds fust like they need winter schools and this la one Of the things our rltlsens should think uljout and solve si once. CHANCELLOR OARROW AND FARMING Yes. Chancellor David C Bar- row is more than educator; he la phlloaopher; he le a stu dent of nature; he knows more shout the Indians who once roamed the woods where Athens now afanda that a tot of us knew About our neighbors, barring gossip; he knows the Bible; he knows children: he knows "Mka" nnd he knows a lot about agriculture and farm ing. In the current Issue or ihe Agricultural Bulletin, pub- • linked by the Georgia and' the West Point railroad he has an article on -The New Profes- s'on." Thai’s rather an un- seemly heading for a story of •ne of the world’s old^t In- du"tries but ihe Chancellor has r * always of putting thlnge a lilt different and a bit dear er nnd a fdt plainer than most others. Take thbt essay or his 00 ‘-Boxbordera’’. It is a gem and the subject Is one that no- body else would have ever thought of. But What does the Chancellor knew about farm ing. you m iy, ask? Well, let’s r «*« wbq$ lie says about "Buy ing and operhtlng a firm: . -When you have decided to . purchase a farm. I* careful not to buy too nurhly; do not spare your visits end be hot content with a single tour of Inspec t|on. The more you'go, the ■ more the place will please you. If it lie worth your attention. .."Cl've heed to the appearance of the ndghboiWoed—a flour ishing county should show Ita proeperlty. When you go In. look out. eo thafyiwhcn needs be. you can find ypur way out." This advice. It followed, would have checked the wild rush to . buy land, which Vent over ' ouf country /» few years ago. The lack of 11 bUred trail would have stopped many pur chases. \ *• "Khow that with m GUNBOAT8 ORDERED MANILA. P. I. — With three hundred MatCnes aboard bound for Shanuhai the U 8 8.
