SNAP SHOTS.
(By Rev. W. H. Faust.)
Suppose the waiters were to
strike for higher wages, and more
munificent tips. What would the
eaters at restaurants do?
These are trying days on mer
chants who happen to have on
hand a big supply of old cork
screws.
Our girls have clearly demon
strated in war times that they can
work as well as men and get as
good wages too. iSo we may look
for a shakeup when they are ask
ed to go hack to pre-war condi
tions. j ,~I
Poor old Turkey is having a
hard time these days sitting at the
feet of the ex-kaiser.
Woodrow Wilson has been quot
ed as saying that the senators who
opposed the league of nations only
had heads to keep their bodies from
unravelling. It is about true,
whether he said it or not.
These weeks it seems that Sat
urday is just absolutely bound to
be a disagreeable, rainy day.
All the men who fuss and fume
when the income tax collector
comes around ought to consider
what Kaiser Hill would have rle J
manded if he had been the lax as
sessor of the world as he hoped to
be.
Liquor has been legally illegiti
matized, and now comes tobacco s
time. However, the .M.l• A. s
stand ns cigarette seller may save
its hide in this awful crisis.
Wouldn’t it be funny if while
the world is fighting to make the
world fit for Democracy the Dem
ocratic postmasters should all lose
their jobs to Republicans?
It is a simon-pure, unadulterated
pity that we have ever been will
ing to raise the long meter doxol
ogv when some church worth a
million dollars raised one thousand
dollars for missions.
Some sensible folks regard it a
blistering shame that God's work
must be financed with the proceeds
of oyster suppers and ice cream
festivals.
The people who heard Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw speak in Atlanta at
the Peace League Conference re
alize that there is at least one wo
man who can occupy the platform
with Taft and Bishop Candler.
The little fad moustaches adopt
ed by some of our returned soldiers
remind one at a casual glance of
the noses of little negro boys about
thirty years ago on a cold, frosty
morning.
A few more rainy days like unto
the one we had last Saturday and
J. J. Brown and his cotton farmers
will not need to resolute any more
- in re cutting cotton acreage.
When a boy gets too big for his
parents to correct him, and control
him, it is a dead sure sign that not
enough hickories were worn out on
him while he was growing up.
The workman who continually
keeps his eye on the clock will
never succeed in becoming proprie
tor of the factory.
If there is anything on earth
that can act more silly than a hen
in the road in front of an auto lie
hasn’t put in his appeaijance in
this mundane sphere as yet.
The farmer who this year fails
to raise his supplies *at home,
whether he cuts cotton acreage or
not is acting as foolish as a rat in
a last year’s bird's nest.
The country weeklies in Georgia
have so much pot matter and al
ready set up and rehashed stuff
that it would be an insult to call
them an up-to-date newspaper.
When folks don’t do their duty
they like to criticise the preacher.
You can easily get rid of a preach
er, but such members are like Ten
nyson’s “Brook” —they remain
going on babbling forever.
Some folks seem to have no con
ception of the real value of time
in keeping an engagement. And
time is about all that some preach
ers and business men have as a sur
plus of. Handle it easily, gentle
men.
Compensation.
Providence lias given us hope and
sleep as a compensation for the many
cares of life. —Voltaire.

THE ROUND UP.
Jewell Patrick, the local rep
resentative of The Atlanta Geor
gian and Sunday American, re
turned Thursday night from At
lanta, where he attended the an
nual convention of the Live \S ire
Agents of those newspapers.
More than 200 attend the “Round-
Up,” coming from all parts of the
Southeast to join in the two days
of fun, sightseeing, banqueting
and instruction given them Feb
ruary 2G and 27 by The Georgian
Company.
Jewell is enthusiastic over his
reception. The boys were enter
tained in every possible way. They
saw Atlanta from one end to the
other and back again, were pilot
ed through The Georgian Build
ing, seeing the paper made ready
and printed. They met and chat
ted with the members of the edi
torial staff, had secrets of printing
and engraving explained to them
by the heads of the departments,
and saw the huge presses publish
ing thousands of complete papers
each minute, and the mailing force
shooting them out to the trains.
“It’s hard to tell just what part
of those two days was the most
interesting,’ says Jewell, “we
were on the go all the time.”
The convention banquet was
given Wednesday night, attended
by the officials of The Georgan.
That night Jewell was awarded
one of The Georgian-American
“Live Wire” badges, as a token
of his splendid business ability
and the enterprise which earned
for him an invitation to the
“Round-Up.” Only the agents
proving themselves REAL busi
ness builders attended the con
vention, and his presence was not
only a distinction to him, but a
credit to the town producing a
boy of his caliber.
And Jewell is back on the job
full force —increasing the number
of his subscribers to show The
Georgian that its high esteem of
his ability is more than justified.
He said The Georgian had in
structed him to boost his home
papers for home news and The
Georgian and American for na
tional and international news and
features.
Drink Buttermilk Freely.
The use of buttermilk Is largely a
matter of habit. Southern cities con
sumo almost as much buttermilk as
sweet milk. The difficulty of keeping
milk sweet has been largely responsi
ble for the popularity of buttermilk as
a beverage.

Duties of the Queen Bee.
It may be interesting to some peo
ple to learn that all the work In a bee
hive is done by female bees. The
drones, or males, live on the labors of
their more Industrious female com
panions. Moreover, there Is no such
thing as a king bee. The ruler of the
hive Is the queen, but she Is a ruler
In name only, being guarded and pro
tected by the bees simply because the
colony would become extinct If she did
not lay eggs at a prodigious rate. It
Is not unusual for a good queen to pro
duce her own weight in eggs In a
single day, and she keeps this up for
weeks at a time.
