raV ^ SCIENTISTS WELCOME
The scientific luen of the state will gather in Athens today for
-- the first regular meeting of the Georgia Academy of Science,
which will bold several sessions today and tomorrow. The work of
organizing the Academy was begun some months ago and while
■ i several preliminary gatherings have been held, this is the first
j meeting with a set program that has been undertaken.
Tho meeting of the Georgia Academy of Science will not be a
large gathering by any manner or means, as its membership is
confined to scientific men at the various educational institutions
of tho state, together with a few others who are doing research
wofle, yet few meetings could he held that hold such far-reaching
possibilities. Present day living conditions would be very crude
without the manifold conveniences and advantage's which have
been given up by the men of science, to say nothing of the in-
£ numerable safeguards to health that wore unknown in the days
7 when scientific research work was in its infancy,
n The Georgia Academy of Science has for its prime object the en-
^ couragcmcnt of real scientific research work in .its various rami-
jfwc fications, together with the advancement of science in general.
And when all the scientific men of the state begin meeting annual-

stores sacks and barrels of turnips.
Inquiry elicited the information
that these turnips were grown in
other states, some coming from
Canada, Aand brought across the
continent. They retail in Athens at
from S'T-2 to 4 cents per pound,
in passing the drug store of War

giving out the cash prizes to farm
ers in our section who had grown
turnips from seed sold by them.
The first prize of 65 was won by
\y. B. Hammond.'a farmer of Mad

turnips weighing 20 pounds each.
The second prize of $3 was won by
tV. T. Lester -of Clarke, who had
three turnips weighing 19 1-2
pounds each. The third prize of 42
was well. J. W. Fowler; of Roys

THE IMPRESSION .YOU MAKE
What impression do you make on <.-.iicr people—particularly
wjlVn you aro introduced to strangers? And what is your atti
tude or “front’ in trying to get something you want? Here’s a
tip along that line, from Clomcnceau. He pauses in a speech and
says: “i .will tell you that I am rather timid—slightly.”- Judg
ing front the arguments he starts, “slightly” is right. But'power-
. -- fully effective on an audience is Clcmeneeau’s confidential admis
sion that he. feels a trifle timid. In this age of “rush-’cm-off-th«ir-
fpet” aggressiveness, timidity and .shyness are rare qualities. As
lii Clcmeneeau’s case, they appeal as a craving Jor affection, for
allention, for respect.
While shyness is rare among the bulk of people, it is becoming
quite the' fashion among the shrewd and cunning, to affect an air
’ of modesty and meekness. Once the speaker forcefully thumped
- his fist on the table and declared, “I tell you so-and-so jfiid I know
What I’m talking about.” The some speaker now says, in effect.
■ ,“.My great reputation for wisdom probably is an over-estimate of
' my humble investigation, it seems to me,” etc., etc. "The psycho
logy of this is that it appeals to reason—and to the hearer’s vani
ty, liy deluding him into the belief that he is asked to pass judg-
. ment. • — • , ' ■ v-
„ , The “know-it-all” attitude, hocked by “rush-’em-off-their-feet”

are notoriously successful in diplomacy—because they handle
situations with velvet gloves and soft words, more effective than
bluster, threats and force. You cannot got sympathy by waving
«4 ax. But you tan'get is by pointing mournfully to the ax and
admitting that you dread to use it. Lincoln said something about
molasses catching more flies .than vinegar. He should have ad-

He takes his work to heart.

i A bully piece of art.
The big obvious need of this country
today is psychological—the disposition
to go ahead. We have here a vast
ability to'produce, and a vast ability
to consume the products of industry.
Potentially, Supply and Demand are
pretty well matched. The main trou
ble i^that gecpb*don’t demand enough
•things to justify industry in doing its
utmost to produce. -
T|he result is that a great amount of
energy is being spent-on trying to get
a lion’s share of the existing demand,
and not enougli is spent on trying 'to
ci’eate the demand* so there will be
enough to keep everybody busy sup-
plying it. ■ ’ . ,
This brings about a period of keen
competition. It means that everybody
must work hkrder and accept less in
order to overcome the sales resistance
of a curtailed demand.
Demand is largely a created thing.
The actual needs of humanity are ofily
a fraction of" the general demand. It
is always a simple matter to get along
with less than one would like to have,
when the public gets a streak of econ
omy it curtails the demand for every
thing that is produced.
Advertising is a prime mover in
creating business. . It ‘rouses peop'o
out of lethargy, makes Them want to
live more fully, and to possess the
means of living more comfortably and
more enjbyably. y
When sales are hard to get. then
most people who have things for sale
increase 1 their efforts to sell. The
harder they try to sell, the harder
their, competitors try to sell. But no
amount of selling effort—in the usual
sense>pf the word—-Can create demand ;
it can only take adyantage of the de
mand that has been otherwise created.
.Advertising and Selling ought to be
considered as “fifty-fifty” in impor
tance. Advertising creates the con
sumer demand. Selling connects this
demand with'the supply. Each needs
the other to make its work colhplete.
