your choice.

dying out.” But why cull it music?
c O

Bolshevism is a fertilizer that is guaran
teed to produce a crop of anarchists.

Speak gently of the frailties of Others,
and perhaps they will he less critical of
you.

A wise man never speeks of his wisdom,
hut the fool seldom fails to advertise his own
folly.
O
A Kansas Judge has ruled that a woman
can chew tobacco without disturbing the
peace.
o
Some people firmly believe that "the !>>rd
will provide.” Ha will, but he wont take
it to them.
O
The fellow who attempts to make some
thing out of nothing sometimes succeeds—
to his cost.
O
The people are more Interested In, “Whos
it,” than they arc in the amount of the
campaign funds.
O
We can not expect fortune to smile upon
us at all times. A little co-operation is
expected from us.
O
A beautiful woman never has to angle
for admiration, but u good one often fails
to command respect.
O
Little children see the faults of others as

When if proposition if carried by the
slender margin of one vote, every fellow who

Try a test that seldom fails. Run over

O
The two tdg political parties are repeat
ing history. The pot and the kettle are
again engaged in the time honored occupa
tion of calling each other black.
O
Tom Watson was busy running for a seat
in the United States Senate while Hugh Dor
sey and Hoke Smith were “Sweeping the
State.” The partisan papers raised a great
deal of dust, hut. as Goldberg would say,
‘lt didn't mean anything.”
_ O
It is an insult to the intelligence of the
voters of this state for an aspirant to go
upon the stump and pretend that he believes
that any native Georgian favors the nation
alization of womanhood. We can conceive
of no more contemptible plane of attempted
deception and demegogery upon which to
launch a campaign for office.
WHY WE PAY
The indictment and prosecution of profi
teers and gougers in various sections of the
country comes as a ray of hope to a peo
ple groaning under the burden of exorbitant
prices for everything we eat, wear or use.
It is not the retailer who Is feeling the
weight of the law, as his prices as a rule
are quite within the bounds of reason—at
least in the country towns and rural dis
tricts.
The gougers who are being hit are general
ly middlemen or wholesalers, who have been
juggling the products back and forth, with
a price boost at every Juggle.
Normally, the law of supply and demand
regulates the price of a commodity. But
it has not been so since the beginning of
the war, because times have not Ison normal.
One of the principal reasons for existing
high prices is the fact that a commodity
passes through too many hands before reach
ing the consumer, and most of those hands
are experts at the pleasing and lucrative
occupation of gouging.
If the public officials had taken a firm
stand as soon as the gouging commenced—
if they had tub'd the jails when the evil
was in its infancy— profiteering would never
have reached the gigantic proportions' which
now stagger the country.
But they didn't.; and because of their
laxity we are paying the penalty today.
Even at this late day, if our public offi
cials can be brought as a body to a reali
zation of their duty—if they can be prodded
into an energetic performance of that duty
we may some day expect the law of supply
and demand to again regulate the price of
the food we eat and the other necessities
we require in our daily life.
We begrudge no man a dollar or a million
that is made honestly, hut that which is
accumulated by dishonest or unfair prac
tices should land its possessor in prison.
—O
SEEING BOTH WAYS
Home of us are content to go through life
noting the mistakes of others, blissfully in
diff rent to the fact that they see us as we
see them.
People think of us only as our conduct
and actions deserve that we Is 1 thought of.
If we spend our time in petty and obnox
ious critieims of others, we must expect
that they at least will be able to detect the
beam in our own eyes.
A few may Is* short sighted and unobserv
ing, but the majority of people are wise
and quick to note the idiosyncrasies of human
nature.
Why is it that some people are universally
admired and respected through life, although
they have their faults, as do the rest of us?
It is not because those faults are hidden
from the world—far from it. It is because
such people have hearts endowed with more
than flic average of human compassions—
hearts that prompt the mind to recognize
the good qualities of others rather than to
be continually seeking out the weaker points.
It is because they vee the better side of
others that the world thinks so well of them.
All people have their faults, but some,
unfortunately, are only able to distinguish
those which ev'st in the other fellow.
o
NOT MONEY ALONE
It isn't big wages in the city alone that
takes young men away from the farms. The
unending routine of work and the absence
of any form of healthy recreation and amuse
ment have more to do with it than any
thing else.
One of these days farmers will see the
wisdom of maintaining a community social
center, where young men and women can
hold frequent gatherings and enjoy the clean
forms of amusement which today are too
seldom found in the country districts.
A club house in a farming district for
such a purpose would not cost a fortune,
hut its pratical value to the community
would be beyond estimate.
A GOOD TIME COMING
Strike and the world strikes with you,
work and you work alone; our souls are
ablaze with a Bolshevik craze, the wildest
that ever was known. Groan and there 11
be a chorus, smile and you make a hit; for
we’ve grown long hair and we preach dis
pair, and show yu a daily fit. Spend an 1
the gang will cheer you, save and you have
no friend; for we throw our bucks to the
birds and ducks and borrow from all who
will lend. Knock ami you’re be a winner,
boost and you'll be a frost; for the old sane
ways of the pre-war days are now from the
program lost. Strike and the world strikes
with you, work and you'll work alone, for
we'd rather yell and raise blue hell, than
strive for an honest bone. Kant and you
are a leader; toil and you are a nut; ’twns
a bitter day when we pulled away from the
old-time work-a-day rut. Wait and there'll
boa blowup, watch and you'll see a slump,
and the fads and crimes of these crazy times
will go to the Nation's dump.—New York
Sun.
O——
We confidently look for u heavy increase
in the male vote at the November election.
No spirited man wants to have, his neighbors
chuckling over the throught that he had to
stay at home and mind the kids while his
wife did the voting.
O
Tis a sad state of affairs, really, but
those suffragettes who have been orating
over the country must be terribly lonesome,
now that they are out of a job—and the
limelight of publicity.
THE WINTER XEWB
THE SMALL TOWN EDITOR
Consider the country editor. He weareth
purple and fine linen. His abode ft amongst
the mansions of the rich. His wife hath
her limousine, and her firstborn sporteth a
racing car that can hit her up in forty flat.
I ! all the people breaketh their necks to
hand him money. A child is born unto the
wife of a merchant in the bazar. The phy
sician getteth 10 golden plunks. The editor
writeth a stick and a half and telleth the
multitude that the child tippen the beam
at nine pounds. Yes, he lieth even as a
centurion. And proud father giveth
him a C’romo.
Behold, the young one groweth up and
graduateth. And the editor putteth into
his paper a swell notice. He telleth of the
wisdom of the young woman and of her
exceeding comeliness. Like unto the roses
of Sharon is she and her gown is played
up to beat the band. And the dressmaker
getteth twoscore and four Iron men. And
the editor gets a note of thanks from the
S. G. G.
The daughter goeth on a journey. And
the editor throweth himself on the story
of a farewell party. It runneth a column
solid. And the fair one remembereth him
from afar with a picture postal card that
costeth six for a jitney.
Behold, she returneth and the young of
the city fall down and worship. She picketh
one and, 10, she picked a lemon. But the
editor calleth him one of our most promis
ing young men and getteth away with it.
And they send unto him a hid to the wedding
feast, and behold the bids are fashioned by
Montgomery Hawbuck, in a far city.
Flowers and long is the wedding notice
which the editor, printeth. The minister
getteth 10 bones. The groom standeth the
editor off for a 12-mouth subscription.
AH flesh is grass and in time the wife
is gathered unto the soil. The minister get
teth his bit. The editor printeth notice, two
columns of obituary, three lodge notices,
a cubit of poetry and a card of thanks.
And he forgetteth to read a proof of the
head, and the darn thing eometh out “Goes
to Her Last Roasting Place.”
And all that are akin to the deceased
jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great
jumps. Afid they pulleth out their ads and
canceleth their subscriptions, and then swing
the hammer unto the third and fourth gene
rations.
Canst thou beat it?—Walton News.
O—
LITTLE THINGS COUNT
Perhaps once in each life there comes the
opportunity to render a big service or make
a real sacrifice, but the man who idly awaits
this opportunity is not prepared to grasp it
when it comes.
The one who gees cheerfully ahead, (joing
the little duties, curbing the little impatiences
battling, yet ali with a smile, is the man
who gets there. The feilow who, when daunt
ed in every-day experiences, redoubles his
determination, is the one who can embrace
the big opportunity and make the most of
it. It is the little foxes that weaken the
fences, and it is the little unkindnesses,
and the lack of little courtesies, that under
mine character and cause men and women
to be found wanting when the test hour
comes.
In the happy arrangement of affairs it is
not revealed who future geniuses are, and
in this country of possibilities all are on a
footing of equality. Therefore it lies largely
with each individual what liis future is to
be, and it is better to prepare for the place
of responsibility and trust and fail to get
it, than for the big opportunity to come as
a surprise and find one unprepared to uti
lize it. The' days of youth can be made the
stepping stones to higher positions, and
there are no limits determined that educated
youth can not reach.
Days come fast, and with each day comes
new ideas, fresh honors to be won or lost,
added responsibility to be shirked or should
ered ; and it is* the meeting, or refusing to
meet, the new problems that gives, or denies,
character which in future proves a strong
hold.—Dalton Citizen.
O
BOUNTIFUL CROPS
The United States will, this year, accord
ing to the forecast of the Department of
Agriculture, harvest the greatest corn arop
in its history; exceeding the record crop
of li>lo by six million bushels. The crop is
now estimated at 3,131,000,000. This im
mense harvest of corn should insure a sur
plus that will bring down the price of meat
and eggs, as well as other food-stuffs.
Tobacco is another crop that is exceeding
all previous records by 114.000.00 t) pounds.
This will make the 5c smoke popular once
more: for with a tobacco crop of 1,553,000,-
000 pounds there can be no scarcity of the
weed, and no excuse for the prevailing prices.
Practically all crops, with the exception
of spring wheat and flax, which were in
jured by the drougth, will be unusually boun
tiful, and America will have enough and to
spare.
The profiteers, who undertake to comer
the food products of the country will need
a lot of money this year, and will have to
face a doubtful market.
Food products are going to be lower than
at any period since the beginning of the
war.
