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. **V< '< -i t 'J 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 ■ Were oickiiur from a the one in in tile to lie crow Many One the ■ a great life the ■ m itude we ■ a ability 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.
