The Washington News- Reporter very wisely says:
••When increased appropriations of the public money
M re taken up this summer, the legislature should
hear in mind that it is the best policy to be Just to
the taxpayer before it becomes feenerous to the ap
propriation beiielciaries.
O
We Must Help Ourselves
A prominent citizen of this country, who lias been
in Europe some time observing the conditions there
says, “One great mistake of the Germans s that they
are counting on some of the other nations to come
to their rescue. One day they believe England Is
going to solve the problem; another day they hope
America is going to help them, and then again they
see a combination through Russia, and so on. 'the
sooner they And out that they must help themselves
the better it will be.’’
And so it is with individuals the world over. The
sooner a man finds out that he is the architect ot
his own fortune, that in him lies the kingdom of
success, the sooner will he get on the sure road to
prosperity and happiness.
O
The Value of a Savings Account
This is not an advertisement for the hanks of
Winder. It is the sentiment of one of experience
who knows the value of saving. Here is a clipping
from an exchange which we urge all our renders to
cut out and paste in their scrap hook am] read it
every day.
The widow, who as a wife, insisted that her hus
band spend all ids means upon luxuries and diver
sion, and who is now suffering Ritter consequences
of her folly. Forced, not merely to cut down her
living excuses, but to actually go out into the
world untrained and inexperienced, to earn enough
for food and shelter, systematic savings would have
prevented this. •
The little child, whose future was not provided
for, brought up in comfort and seclusion, suddenly
compelled to give over his youth, if not his health,
in return for the means of keeping body and soul
together. Systematic savings would have prevented
this.
Pictures that urge a man to ask himself, “\\ hut
tam I doing to prepare for the unexpected?” That
warrant the wife’s asking her husband, “Are you re
serving enough to protect us, in <*ast* things go
wrong?” That even might justify the little child's
question. "Paddy, will there he enough so I can wait
until I grow up before I have to go to work?” Syste
matic savings is the answer.
Lay up for yourself a "nest egg." Start today.
Borrowing Money
In his annual report to the General Assembly
of Georgia. Mr. M. M. Park, State superintendent
of schools, uses the following language:
“For many years, the borrowing in state affairs
has been carried on by niony people, and in many
ways. It is unbusinesslike. County boards, col
lege boards, institutional Boards, and various offi
cials of state and county and city have been run
ning up debts and Iwrrowitig money.”
And Mr. Parks might have included the individual
citizens of our state. Nobody is making any money
these days and yet the spending habit has become
so firmly fixed in our natures that as long as we lan
borrow money we will spend it. With some the halt
will not come until their creldt is exhausted, and
with them, the sooner the better.
Our religious institution* are loading themselves
down with indebtedness, and expecting their people
to pay these debts. The people are already stag
gering under individual debts, and these religions
institutions are flirting with destruction when they
pile up enormous obligations. The days of extrav
agant money-spending are passed, and we bojx* they
will never come our way again. The time has
cpme when we must, at least, spend no more than
we make, and wait until we make that before we
spend it.

Sleeping With Preachers
Editor McWhorter, of the Winder News, stated
in his paper last week that the reason tie didn’t
come to the Commencement, as he had announced,
was because Mr. McCants slipped ofT from him. It
may he that Mr. MeCants thought we were crowded
up here and he might have to sleep with the editor,
who is a preacher. We occupied the bed with a
preacher once and will never forget it. It was up
at Porter Springs one summer, when every room
was crowded and Col. Farrow, the proprietor, had
us go to bed with Preacher Brannon, a good old man
who has long Miiiccgoiu^^^^cimn^^^fMMM||jL

pose pr pass, the people would reduce the cost of
government and get better service if they sent rep
resentatives to their state and national assemblies
who made records for passing the least legislation
and for reducing rather than increasing the over
head burdens of government.
“How We Do Grow.”
The annual report of Comptroller-General Wright
for tlie last year, just issued, shows that the house
and senate together had lOfl pages last summer at a
eost of $2,200 for the session. When the house and
senate together had 237 members as against 258
members now, four boys used to the paging for the
general assembly at a cost of S3OO for fifty days.
Under the present plan it takes one page to about
two and a half legislators.
The house had til doorkeepers and assistants last
summer and the senate had 28. The cost for both
houses was a little over $4,000 last year. It used
to cost around S7OO a year.
The expenses of the legislature for payroll of mem
bers ami employees has increased from SOO,OOO five
years ago to $121,000. It has almost doubled fn five
years.
The eost of stationery alone has jumped from
s!ttK> in 101S to $34200 in 1922.
During the saint* period, the cost of running the
state government has increased from a little more
than $7,000,(100 to more than $12,000,000.
O
The Value of Personal Incentive
A story comes from Russia that shows the value
of personal incentive in work. The News believes
that you can get tin* liest work out of a man when
there is a personal incentive behind the task. But
here is tin* story that comes from tin* country of
socialism and communism:
Under the Bolshevist regime the workers in the
depariineu. that printed the money made a demand
for higher wages which the administration could
not see its way clear to grant. The employees then
came hack with another proposition. After putting
in their full day at their regular employment, they
asked for the privilege of working one hour over
time, with the proviso that they would be allowed
to keep the product of that hour for themselves. This
proposal was agreed to, with tile stipulation that in
the extra hour no money of a greater denomination
than 100 rubles should ho printed.
This arrangement produced results which ' ere
highly satisfactory to the men until the adminisua
iton discovered that they were producing more mon
ey in the* one hour that they worked for thornsdves
than they did in the eight hours they worked for
the government. The workers were returned to the
old scale.
We are not surprised nt the result of this com
munistic program. Any scheme of production whilih
fails to base the pay of the worker upon the excel
lence of his own product contains a weakness which
sooner or later will lead to failure. The trouble
with the level wage scale is that it kills the individ
ual initiative. When a standard of production i
fixed by the ability of the least efficient the more com
petent ones quickly realize that any better work on
their part is useless. ‘|
O
What Is An Education?
In discussing the value of an education, the Hous
ton Chronicle uses the following splendid words:
“Schools and colleges do not educate men, they
merely make it possible and convenient for men to
educate themselves. Men have become educated
without ever entering a school or college, and men
have gone through all kinds of schools and colleges,
making the grades, passing the examinations, receiv
ing the diplomas and degrees, without becoming ed
ucated. Let this fact spenk for itself. la*t it sink
in deep. It is tlie big outstanding fact of history,
and it means much.
The school, or college, is opixirtunity; that, and
no more. It is not a mill to grind out perfected hu
man beings, to convert ne'er-do-wells into Solomons.
•>ut it is the door, the practical, common souse way,
to enter the field of learning."
I.et not the man who has gone through college
think that he is educated. Such thought will cause
him to fail in lift*. He is only prepared to educate
hjimself.
Ix 4 not the boy who has not opportunity to go
through college become discouraged. He can ed
ucate himself, though he will have to work harder
than the college graduate. Yet this determination
and hard work may enaWe him to outstrip his more
fortunate fellow.

Interest Growing in
the Poultry Industry
In Barrow County
The busy season and fine weather
for work follow ing the rains kept many
of tin* farmers of the countv away
from the Poultry meeting Saturday.
Rut with all these handicaps a large
number attended the meeting and much
interest nm infested.
The meeting was called to order by
county agent, J. T. Pittman. After a
brief talk stating the object of the
meeting and why it was called. Profes
sor M. C. McCoy, poultry expert of the
State College of Agriculture, was intro
duced. Mr. McCoy gave a very in
teresting talk on poultry and poultry
products.
Following the lecture, many ques
tions were asked relative to the val
ue of poultry raising and marketing
of fresh eggs. The answers to these
and the line of thought given by Mr
McCoy in his lecture convinced those
present that a poultry association
would be a good tiling for Barrow
county.
A committee appointed for the pur
pose of working up plans for an organ
ization and also, to call another meet
ing shortly. This committee composed
of the following gentlemen: Col. It. H.
Kimball, H. H. Chandler, .T. W. Shields,
