O An exchange avers that “Jazz music is dying out.” But why cull it music? c O Cox asks where Harding stands. Decision reserved for sixty days. O Bolshevism is a fertilizer that is guaran teed to produce a crop of anarchists. <X Speak gently of the frailties of Others, and perhaps they will he less critical of you. O 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 they are, but often we adults see them as we would like them to be. O The next light if there is a runover will be for the control of the state convention and its political machinery. —O ('lark Howell wants a governor whose mind will go along with his. God save us from men with “go-along” minds. O There is one crop in this country which never becomes extinct. The defeated can didate is always aide to produce an alibi. —— O Things did not go our way all down the line in the recent primary, hut we arc not quarreling. We got nine winners and two second choices. What more could u fellow ask in Democratic Georgia? — O The Atlanta Constitution and Atlanta Journal arc interested as to who killed Cock Robin. Respectfully referred to Torn Watson. o Blamed if it won't bo worth the trip to Washington to see Baldy Harris lead Tom Watson forward to qualify as senator from Georgia. O It is not always wise to judge a stranger to lie a fool because he acts like one. He may be leading you on in order to sting you in the end. O When if proposition if carried by the slender margin of one vote, every fellow who supported It considers that he was the de ciding factor. O just sliding through life is a dangerous practice, and ofteu painful. The pathway is strewn with obstacles and pitfalls, and some times with slivers. —O Try a test that seldom fails. Run over your list of acquaintances and you will find that those who are liked by cats and dogs invariably have many friends. 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. O Wuff! “Mrs. Naybor is just crazy about animals, isn't she?” said Mrs. Sweet. “Is she?" replied Mrs. Catt. “Well, maybe that is why she is so busy making a monkey ;ut of her husband.” —Luke McLukei Cwritfit 121?, A. is, mxbchhaam Cos, Clothes --for Young Men and Men who want to stay young STYLES FOR FALL IN MENS’ SUITS HAVE BECOME MORE SENSIBLE.
