REGISTER OF TREASURY.
Choctaw Indian’s Signature Will Ap
pear On All Currency.
Gabe E. Barker, a Choctaw Indian,
of Academy, Okla., first man of his
race to be register of the treasury,
was sw r orn Into office. His signature
will appear on all currency.
From ISSI until Cleveland’s ad
ministration. the office was held by
a negro. Cleveland appointed white
men, but from McKinley’s time, in
1897, down to the present day. the
register lias been a negro. President
Wilson originally nominated Adam
Patterson, an Oklahoma negro, but
the nomination was later withdrawn.
At the same time Patterson announced
he did not desire to be a candidate on
account of the opposition of South

A 16 year old girl in New
York, back*from an adventurous
joy-ride with a lad of 18 in a stol
en auto, said to a woman report
er who visited her in the lockup
“lit was just a picnic. We
never thought of it as any
thing else. I understand my
father says he is going tb
have me sent away. I don’t
care. I don’t want to go
home. The ‘old man’ is so
cross and cranky he gets on
my nerves.”
“The old man is so cross and
cranky.” Home was not home
to that little girl. Had it been
the adventurous joy-ride might
never have taken place. Certain
ly the father would have been
at the side of his 16 year old
daughter .prepared to take her
home.
A little comfort, followed by
the right kind of admonition
would have changed the w r hole
life of that child.
But in that cell she was left
to herself, to the realization of
the fact that her father was
ing to send her away from home.
Being cranky is a serious thing
It is a costly thing. lit has done
more to cause trouble in the home
thajj any other thing. There may
be excuses for being cranky at
times, but when it’s chronic, the
afflicted person as well as every
one with whom he or she has to
deal is to be pitied.
Don’t be cranky. If you feel
a cranky disposition growing on
you, seek a cure like you would
if you had been bitten by a rattle
snake. You cease to be of use
to the community the minute
you develop chronic crankiness
You cannot afford to be so af
flicted. It is too costly—Augusta
Chronicle. V '
What You Are. i
The man who strives to he
what he is not is only
tention to what he is.
How many of us are exposing
only a part or ourselves; and
what mortification a shifting of
the light would present if our en
tire selves came to view l ?
Why is it the rooms in which
guests are entertained are better
furnished than those in which
live? W
Does it pay to he a pretender?
Surely there must he an account
ing some day, and when it comes
it will be all the more dreadful.
The woman who uses “ill
health” as an excuse for not ap
pearing in society, or the woman
who drains her husband’s pocket
book in order that she may out
dress an acquaintance, cannofl
hope t.o gain thereby. She has 1
won nothing. Flattery and prais<
may be applied to her face, but
the minute her back is turned
she is subjected to ridicule.
There is little satisfaction in
being envied because of one’s
wealth. Envy does not breed re-*
spect. Vanity cannot compeß
friendship.
It is much better to be just
what you are. For proper rating
is sure to come sooner or later.
Striving to he what you are not l,
the surest way to call attention
to what you are. —Macon Tele

Georgia’s Corn Crop. JIM
According to the
report Georgia has 600.000
more in corn this year than sWe
had las f year. This increase in
acreage will show up well for
Georgi a farmers as the crop, gen
erally, is good. At an average of
only ten bushels per acre, this in
crease will mean 6,000,000 bush eh
more than in 1012. Owing to llßk
drouth in some of the corn
in the West, this extra yield for
Georgia will mean something. It
will mean more bread and meat.
