HERE’S AN OPPORTUN
ITY FOR SOMEONE.
The Dairy and Truck Farming In
Mustry Should Pay Here and
Winder Needs Such En
terprises.
SomeQne is: overlooking a great
opportun ty. and Winder is los
ing considerable money by not
getting busy along these lines.
Other places are making these in
dustries pay.
We are ideally si uated wtl
Athens and Atlanta as distribut
ing points.
The writer was speaking about
this a few days ago to a friend
who ought to know and he said
that Athens could iise everything
we could raise truck farming and
then not have enough to supply
their home market. We could es
tablish! our® business in Atlanta.
We can live cheaper and raise
stuff ofci land that is not no val
uable as that nearer the city and
then ship our produce and com
pete with truck-farmers living
close in to Atlanta.
Winder needs more enterprises
that will bring money into our
city. Someone has to feed the
mail that lives :n the cry, why
hot we feed him and have the
money he has to pay for it.
Dairy farming goes hand and
hand with truek farming. There
is a demand fbr milk and butter.
With trains running as they do
we could pat warm milk on both
the breakfast and supper table
for Atlanta people. The milk
Kit'd butter will pay for keeping
the cows. The fertilizing prod-,
rusts from the barns will furnish
all that is needed for the truck
fcb.es. Thousands of loads can
sold 1 tio farmers to bu Id up
old land.
There could be, with just a lit
tle effort, a business for our town
jOf many thousand dollars per
'year. Jt would stimulate other
activities. It would advertise
our community as no other thing
we eould do.
Hr The thing would bring us mon-
Ry - It would build up the coin-
Rnucity. It would start other in
dustries. It would give employ
ment to many that have.only par
tial employment now. It would
bring in new people.
The thing is possible. The
thing is a business proposition.
Why not “whoop her up” and
make i.t go.

“Girl of the Underworld.”
The above title furbished the
five barn-storming
foot-lightens to display' what lit
tle they knew about the entertain
jug game Wednesday even ng at
the Lyric;.
If there is any reason why the
“Girl of the Underworld” should
escape the, breakers, or fail to be
ingulfed amid the sad sea waves,
that reason must he found in the
ju’Ogffa?rous condition of the conn
|fry.

would be clearer. The presided
also urged the choice of presiden
tial nominees by the direct vote
of the people expressed at prima
ries.
On the subject of selecting
president by direct primary elec
tion, the president sad:
“I urge the prompt enactmeSi
of legislation which will provide
for primary elections through
out the country at which the vo
ters of the several parses may
choose the r nominees for the
presidency without the interven
tion of nominating conventions.
I venture the suggestion that this
legislation should provide jfor the
retention of party eonvendole..
but only for the purpose of de
claring and accepting the ver
dict of the primaries and formu
lating the platforms of the par
ties, and 1 suggest that these con

eg ate chosen for this single pur
pose hut of the nominees for eon
gress, Ihe nominee* for vacant
seats in 'the senate of the United
States, the senators whose terms
have not yet closed, the national

C Here arc the rnaijti points in
the president’s mesftage:
The Sherman law s approved,
but it reuires supplemental legis

strengthen it.
All arbitration treaties before
