MARKET BUREAU
YIELDSREVENUE
State is Quarter of a Million
Dollars to the Good as Re
sult of Department of
Agrichlture.
Atlanta, Ga., May B.—At what was
pronounced one of the largest and best
farmers’ convention ever held in the
state, in the hall of the house of rep
resentatives of the state captiol on
May 1, resolutions were enthusiastical
ly and unanimously passed endorsing
the Georgia state bureau of markets,
and urging the nest general assembly
to increase the annual appropriation to
the bureau to at least $50,000.
It was shown at the meeting that the
state department of agriculture, of
which the market bureau is a part, is
now turning into the state treasury
from the sale of fertilizer inspection
tags, oil fees and food stamps more
than $250,000 annually above the ex
penses of the operation of the depart
ment and all other expenses chargeable
to this fund.
In other words, the state is a quar
ter of a million dollars to the good as a
result of the work of the department
of agriculture, over and above all the
expenses, which, by law, are required
to be paid out of this fund.
It was the concensus of opinion in
the meeting that part, at ieast, of this
surplus should be used for the benefit
of the farmers of the state, since they
pay it; and it was further unanimous
ly agreed that the market bureau, al
though only a year old, has done more
along the line of marketing farm prod
ucts, than any agency the state has
had. The opinion was generally
expressed among those present at the
meeting, that when these facts are made
clear to the members of the legislature
they w r ill not hesitate to give the mar
ket bureau the appropriation the farm
ers have asked for it.
If any further evidence were needed
that Georgia cotton producers are bit
terly opposed to any action on the part
of congress looking to controlling the
price of cotton, it certainly appeared in
the recent meeting of Georgia farmers
in Atlanta, under the auspices of the
Georgia Farmers’ Union, which unani
mously passed resolutions endorsing
the stand taken by the Georgia depart
ment of agriculture in this respect.
The farmers left no uncertainty
about their attitude. They denounced
the Emerson bill naming the price of
cotton, and opposed any interference
whatsoever on the part of the govern
ment with the pricing of cotton or cot
ton products, taking the position that
cotton should sell on its merits under
dhe law of supply and demand, with all
hoarding, gambling and speculation
prohibited by the government.
While the farmers of Georgia feel,
as expressed at this meeting, that cot
ton should be left free from legislative
Interference, so that they may receive a
fair margin of profit above the cost of
production, it was clearly the senti
ment expressed in the deliberations,
that, if it is necessary in order to win
the war, to fix a price upon it, the
farmers would not stand in the way,
provided that prices were also fixed
on all manufactured goods, thus giving
to the producer an absolutely square
deal along with the manufacturer and
consumer.
In this connection the farmers meet
ing adopted a resolution asking the
general assembly of Georgia to appro
priate SI,OOO for the maintenance of a
statistical humiu in connection with
the Cotton States Official Advisory
Marketing Board, to be used ill co-op
eration with other cotton states. The
purposes of this statistical bureau are
to gather and surpply reliable data re
garding cotton and the cost of produc
ing it, as a basis for maintaing a legiti
mate price for the staple.

JUST LIKE POLLY.
:
Polly saw her as she came out of the
postoffice. She was walking slowly up
the street, a little old woman in a black
and white dress, and a rusty hat.
It was one of the hottest days of
summer. Polly wore a white dress and
carried a parasol. Her hair curled in
moist rings over her forehead. Her
cheeks were flushed.
“If it isn’t Mrs. Goodwin!” she said,
and just then she met her.
The little old woman in the rust
black hat nodded and smiled. And
Polly smiled back.
“Terrible hot, ain’t it, dearie?” said
Mrs. Goodwin. “ I really hadn’t ought
to have come downstreet today, but I
had some things to get I couldn’t well
do without. I’m that warm and tired
I don’t see how I am ever going to get
home. I’m used to hard work, too, but
somehow the heat from the sun is
worse than the heat from the stove.
Anyway, it seems that way to me.”
Polly had a thought.
She took hold of the little old wom
an’s arm.
“It is dreadfully warm, and you real
ly shouldn’t have braved the sun today,
but now that you have, come in the
drug store with me and have some ice
cream.”
“But, dearie,” objected the little old
woman, half shyly.
Polly smiled.
“No buts —please—you like ice cream
you know you do. We'll have a dish
together, and you’ll feel a great deal
better afterward.”
She led the little old woman with
the rusty hat into the cool drug store,
and sat down with her at one of the
small tables.
“I haven’t forgot the many times you
have washed and ironed my clothes so
beautifully,” she smiled. “It is quite
time I did something for you, Mrs.
Goodwin. There hasn’t been a girl at
school that has had the nicely launder
ed clothes I have, and it’s all owing to
you.”
The little old woman in the rusty
black hat beamed. “How nice it is of
you to say that, dearie; but, indeed,
I’ve enjoyed doing it, as I enjoy every
thing I do for you. You are too kind
to me. Miss Polly; really I don’t de
served it.”
Polly suddenly patted the water
soaked seamed old hand.
“You deserve every bit of it,” she re
plied, “and more. There comes the ice
cream now.”
As they emerged from the drug store
several minutes later, a young man in
an automobile drove up. He had frank,
kind eyes and a boyish smile. He
wore a cream colored suit.
“Good morning, Miss Polly,” he said.
“Don’t you want me to take you home?
This is the hottest day of the season.”
Polly smiled.
“Thank you—very much; but I’ve a
friend here who is quite tired out.
Would it be too much to ask you to
take her home, too? She has quite a
distance to walk.”
“Oh, Miss Polly!” Cride Mrs. Good
win quickly, “never mind about me,
Before Polly could reply, the young
man opened the door of the automobile.
“It will be a pleasure, Miss Polly,”
he said, courteously.
Mrs. Goodwin and Polly stepped in
side. Mrs. Goodwin sighed as she
leaned back against the soft cushions.
“Oh, Miss Polly,” she whispered, “do
you think you ought to have asked
him? Its lovely in you of course, and
it's the first automobile I ever was in,
but—”
Polly patted again the old, work
worn hand.
“He won’t mind it a bit,” she said
reassuringly.
The big automobile rolled up in state
to the little weather-beaten shabby
house, and Mrs. Goodwin alighted.
“I can’t thank you enough,” she said
to polly and to Polly’s friend.
“That’s all right,” replied the young
man, with simple frankness. “Glad I
could do it for you, Mrs. Goodwin.”
“Didn't I tell you so?” smiled Polly,
as the automobile rolled away.
Mrs. Goodwin went into the house.
Her life had been ntohing but a succes
sion of weary wash-days, but today a
little bright spot had come into one of
them.
Polly, in her thoughtfulness and un
selfishness, had put it there.
As Mrs. Goodwin took off her rusty
old hat, she was smiling happily. “To
think I’ve beeen in a real automobile,”
she wshlpered. She sat down, still
smiling. "And she liked the way I did
her clothes, and told me so. Bless her
heart. It’s worth while even to be a
washerwoman, when one has a friend
like Miss Polly.”
At that moment, her next door neigh
bor put her head inside the door.
“Ain’t you a grand lady now, coming
home in an automobile?” she said good
naturedly.
Mrs. Goodwin nodded.
“You ain’t heard it all, either,” she
smiled. “I was treated to some ice
cream besides. What do you think of
that? Ain’t it a beautiful day, Mrs.
Wilson?”
“I thought it was pretty hot,” replied
her neighbor.
Mrs. Goodwin smiled. .2..

SCHOOL GROUNDS AND SCHOOL
BUILDINGS.
(Continued.)
IN most rural communities and small
towns as well as some cities very
little attention and foresight is- used in
the selection of a plot of ground for a
school building. Usually land is bought
or given that caimot be used for any
other purpose and in a location that is
not desirable for anything else. This
is done because sufficient funds are not
available to purchase the most central
and most desirable location. Every
school lot should be at least two acres,
be located on the best available
grounds near the center of the school
district, and the title be vested in the
county board of education without any
restrictions should the school be moved
in the future to some other location. In
cities the titles to all school property
is vested in the city authorities and in
each county the titles to all school
property should- be in the county board
of education. In a good many counties
no assistance or recognition whatever
will be given any school where the
titles are not so vested and from a
standpoint of educational advancement
these are the most progressive. In
Barrow county the titles to only four
school lots are made to the hoard of
education without any strings tied to
them. These were made that way since
the county was created. These total
seven and one half acres.
There is ample room An a two-acre
lot for playgrounds for both boys and
girls with enough left for the school
gardens. Where the lot contains only
an acre the children must either play
party in the road or on the prop
erty adjoining, both of which cause
considerable trouble sooner or later.
The boys should have room for a ball
ground where they could play ball and
other games, and under the supervision
of the teacher could play these games
and cultivate the'spirit of fair and hon
est sport. The girls should likewise
have ample grounds for playing such
games as they like and under the
teacher’s supervision be taught just as
the boy are. During the school term
at least two school gardens should be
cared for, such vegetables being planted
as can be gathered during the school
year. Children should he taught the
proper time for planting such vegeta
bles, how they are best cultivated, when
they should be gathered, and the various
ways of preparing them for the table.
They should also be taught how to
grow them, gather them and prepare

HARDLY KNEW HER
“Tanlac Almost Made a New
Woman of Me,” Says Mrs. D.
Herrington-Gained Fourteen
Pounds in Weight.
“I improved so much after taking
Tanlac that my own father and mother
hardly recognized me when I went
to visit them,” said Mrs. D. Herrington,
residing at 1232 Fourth avenue, Nash
ville, Tenn., a short time ago.
“Four long years I suffered with pe
culiar pains in my side and stomach,”
she continued, “and my husband spent
hundreds of dollars trying to get me
well, but it was money spent in vain.
I fell off to ninety-eight pounds and
was so weak I couldn't do any ’work at
all and could hardly get around. I had
no appetite and was so nervous and
torn up I couldn't sleep at night.
“My husband finally got me to try
Tanlac and I’m sure glad I did. Every
pain I had has disappeared and my
nerves are as steady as a rock and I
Rleep at night like a child. Tanlac
had made anew woman of me, for be
sides gaining back all my strength, un
til I am able to do my housework, I
have gained fourteen pounds in weight.
I feel so strong and good that I have
been doing a lot of gardening, and
haven’t had a hit of trouble at all.”

them for the market so as to get the
best prices for them. In the school
garden the cultivation and care of flow
ers should also be taught, inculcating
in the children a love for the beautiful.
The flower garden could be made a
great help in nature study. Teaching
children to love and care for flowers
would mean that they would when
grown make the home and its surround
ings more attractive, and get more out
of life than the one who finds no beau
ty in the violet or rose. It is said that
those nations who love their home and
native land are those who have ex
celled in making their homes attrac
tive by the planting and cultivation of
flowers. One of the poets has said:
"To me the meanest flower that blows
Often has thoughts that lie too deep
for tears.”
And another has said of someone else:
“A primrose by the river’s brim,
A yellow primrose ’twas to him,
And nothing more.”
At one time every school in Morgan
county was a standard school, and had
both a vegetable and flower garden.
According to the educational surveys
made by the state department of edu
cation in the different counties, one of
the best rural schools in Georgia is at
Juliette station, ou the Southern Rail
way in Jones county. The survey says
of the school grounds: “Titles in board
of educational; grounds being improv
ed ; playgrounds small, but exceptional
ly equipped with modern play appli
ances ($300.00 worth) ; school gardens;
two toilets in excellent condition.”
This school had modern playground ap
paratus, with play supervised by the
teachers; and two well-kept school
gardens that are cared for the year
i round. It is a nine months' school and
supported entirely by the county. I
will have more to say about this school
in the future.
Toilets—Every school should have
two toilets, well-kept and in a sanitary
condition. This is one of the worst
features of our country schools. Most
of them have no toilets at all, and
where they are found they are in a
most unhealthy and unsanitary condi
tion. They are unsightly and a dis
grace to any community. Our love for
our children and our desire to sur
round them with most desirable condi
tions should so stir our pride as to
make it impossible for such conditions
to exist as are found at nearly every
school house. A few dolars is all that
is necessary to remove this evil and
undesirable condition.
