President Harding said so last Monday. O The authorities of Clarke county say that crime is more rampant in that county than it has been in twenty-five years. The same is true all over the state O —- Jupiter Pluvlua is dosing this section of the coun try pPetty thoroughly these days. O Georgiu products dinners are again coming into fashion in the state Most of the dinners eaten in Barrow county are products of Georgia soil. .—O Mr. Secretary Hughe* proposes a ten-year holiduy naval 1 preparations for war. We are for it, and then to make it permanent. O The state prison farm at Mllledgeville is crowded to overflowing. It now has a population of 550, and still there are many others who ought to go there.

O Two years ago all the cities in the coupitry were crying out about the scarcity of houses, so fast were they growing This cry has ceased. What has be come of these people?

This dot's not help a fellow much who has to work so hard to make ends meet that he hasu t time to hunt. However, we are glad that game is plentiful for George Rucker’s sake. O World shortage of cotton is predicted for next year. We have been fooled so often by cotton prophets that we are. ready to doubt any statement made about the fleecy staple. O The 1921 cotton crop seems to be growing. It is already far beyond what most of us thought it would be. It shows the folly of anybody telling anybody •else what to do about selling their cotton. O It strikes us that the world bus advanced far enough along the road of civilization to have the con ference on arm limitations which meets Friday in Washington City thrown open so thut all of us can know what is going on. We believe in open agree ments openly arrived at. O The governor of Georgia offers substantial rewards for the slayers of M. J. Doster who was recently killed in this county by several masked men.

Kelly Simmons has assumed charge of the Coffee County Progress, Douglas, Ga., as editor. Kelly Is a tip-top newspaper man and will make the Progress a power for the advancement of Coffee county If the people will rally to his support. He has our best wishes for success in his new field. O- Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of the State Col lege of Agriculture, has been offered the presidency of the California State College of Agriculture. No doubt, there are some men In the state that wish he would accept the tatter offer, but there Is no doubt but thst President Soule has done a great work for this state In the years that he has been at the head of our agricultural college. O Those were splendid words spoken by President Harding in addressing a Methodist Episcopal mind ing in Detroit recently. He said, “If the churches fail in their high and holy tasks there is small hope for civilization. The world never before was in such need of right morals, right relations among men and nations, right spirit for meeting unparalleled condi tions, and sound religion In personal, social and pub lic life.” Associated Chariites The associated charities of the city are asking the people of Winder and Barrow county to make a con tribution of some kind to this work next week on Thanksgiving Day. They will gladly accept clothes of any kind, or food, or any other article that will help the poor. They ask that these donations be brought to the Christian church next Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Someone will be at the church to receive all contributions, and we feel sure that our people will respond readily and heartily to the call of this splendid organization. O Our Advertising Rates In order that our merchants and advertisers may know thut we are treating them fairly, w'e are pub lishing below the advertising rates recommended by the National Editorial Association Advertising Com mittee This committee says they are as low as should be charged Tire rates of the Winder News are considerably under these flgur<*s, as all our ad vertisers know. According to^ these figures we ought to be getting 35 cents per inch for our space, whereas we are getting far less than that figure Mere are the recommendations of that committee: For newspapers of 500 or less circulation 20c For newspapers of 1000 or less circulation 25c.

O The Georgia Cotton Growers Association. A strong effort is being put forth just now to or ganize the cotton growers of Barrow county into the Georgia Cotton Growers Co-operative Association, and many fanners of the county are signing the con tracts binding themselves to sell their cotton through the association. Mr. J. R. Turner is calling on the farmers day by day explaining the plan to them and asking their co-operation In putting the enterprise over*. There Is no doubt but what the same kind' of an organization lias been of untold benefit to the fruit growers of California, and the states of Texas and Oklahoma are taking hold of this organization with interest and enthusiasm There is always power iu organization and all business enterprise* are strength ened by the combination of the units of those enter prises. Of course, every enterprise depends for its success upon the ability and honesty of its directors and managers, and it does seem that the farmers of the state ought to be able to select directors and managers, for their business enterprises as wisely as is done in other lines of activities. If the farmers of Barrow county intend to join the association they should do so immediately so that the organization can begin to function next year. Mr. Turner, who is representing the association in the county, will be glad to explain the workings of the organization to every one interested. O The Banks of the Country The banks of Barrow county have made fine records during the year through which we are passing. They have done their best to serve the people, and we feel sure that when the financial clouds pass away we will be proud of our financial institutions. Occasion ally you will hear someone knocking the banks but we could not get along without them. it is well understood that the banks are not always in position to accommodate everybody In the matter of loans. There are seasons when the prudent banker will curtail this branch of his business to meet pos sible demands from other sources. He must take care of his depositors, and keep his own credit un impaired. The major part of the profits of a bank are derived from the accumulation of interest upon loans, and as money-making is the chief end and pur pose of a bauk we can always rest assured that the bank will always take on new loans whenever circum stances Justify it. In the event that only a portion of its customers can be accommodated, then, of course, the first to receive favors will be those whose business has been the most profitable to the bank, nnd to whom the bank is most indebted. The bank would not be treat ing this class of customers right if it did not give them the preference in the matter of loans. Other things being equal, the value of your bank account will usually guage your claims for accommo dation. You cannot blame the bank for withholding a loan when the party applying for same keeps his money at home or some where else, and when in need of help except the bank to come across. We have been in business for thirty-five years and we have never yet had any just cause for kicking banks about accommodations. And we have always tried to treat them as we would want them to treat us. Stand by your bank, deposit your money in it, treat it right, prove your reliability, and then if it does not treat you right, quit it and go somewhere else with your business. O The drive for n million dollars for the State Uni versity closes tomorrow. We hope it will be success ful. THE WINDER - NEWS OUR PRICES ARE RIGHT WE APPRECIATE YOUR TRADE 20 Cents For Cotton!
