RENTS TCO HIGH
Kents for a long while were too
low in Winder to encourage build
ing and now they are too high to
encourage persons coming to Win

will force many leaving here and
in the end we will have empty
dwellings and business houses.
Present conditions do not justi
fy from lo to 20 per cent on the in
vestment in property in rents.
Property owners became unrea
sonable on this line during the
prosperous times and could get
any price asked Things have
changed and there is no excuse
now for maintaining these high
rents and the times do not justi
fy it.
The people who are forced to
rent cannot afford it—are not able
to pay it— and if it is continued
there will he a smaller population
in mogt towns by another year
than at the present time.
A fair and .just per cent on the
investment is the right of property
owners and they are entitled to it.
but they should not demand ex
horhitant and prohibitive prices.

One of the latest sensations for
Atlanta was the disclosure, last
■week, that eleven children sup
posedly horn into the home of Mr.
and Mrs. I\ lv A. South without
her husband's knowledge. A man
so easily duped could not he found
in any other city except Atlanta.
He is entitled to he added to the
list of singers of Grand Opera in
May to electrify the thousands of
“.Judges of Music’’ who will go
from far and near at $5.00 per
ticket. He certainly must have
a melodious voice by this time
equal to Caruso after all of Ids
practice with those eleven babies.

Kvery fellow has his theory as
16 the cause of the present hard
times, and if you wish to remain
on friendly terms you must ac
cept Ids views, then agree with
the next one you meet and .just
continue the business of agreeing
Nothing pleases a man more than
endorsing his conceit and it saves
much valuable time you might
lose by arguing and disagreeing
with him. Life is too short and
money too hard to get to try and
convince a man contrary to his
preconceived ideas.
Some of the writers and theolo
gians say we are now entering a
new world and things will never
be again as they have been in the
past. If it is to continue like it
has started it is to be hoped it Avill
not last long before we have ano
ther. We would be willing for a
change every few months until we
get one better adjusted than the
present one.
The wise and conservative man
prepares for the future and makes
provision for his family against
the day of chance. The time to
do this is while in the prime of life
and "hen fortune is smiling on
you. •

THE NEED OF HUMAN TOUCH
An Klglishman was going
through a tremendous American
manufacturing plant. He was
being conducted by one of the
heads of the establishment,w ho
glowed with the keean enthusiasm
ns he pointed out all the modern
device . for hi - placing the output
at the lowest cost. One thing,
the Englishman said was lacking.
The head did not seem to know the
men who were working Jor hirn.
The head and the hands were
strangers one to another. T liat
sort of thing, as the visitor point
ed out, is a curse of modern indus
try, and it is bound to lead into
1 rouble.
Donald Hunkey, in A Student iu
Arms, said, “l think that Hie sec
ret of ruling men is .a care for
them. If your high bred officer
cares for his men as the best ones
do, they will do anything for him.
]f he regards them as animals, as
many do, they will prove to he
mules.” Apart altogether from
the highest of all consideration, re
ligion and humanitarian motives,
it is poor business either in war or
industry to treat men as either
animals or machines. Men so
treated lose their “morale.” They
do not, they cannot do their best.
Production, war, all the business
and pleasure of mankind depends
in the last analysis, upon the mor
ale of human beings. That mor
'ale is lost when the human touch
is missing.
Turning to the highest considera
tions, there is all the more reason
for man to man treatment. What
lids old scarred, worn, sick, sin
tossed, world of today needs is
just the human touch, the brother,
ly attitude to every man and wo
man, by every man and woman.—

Kvery farmer had better take
for his motto: “ First of nil. a good
living at home." raise his hog and
hominy, and put himself in posi
tion to hold 1 iis cotton or tobacco
if holding becomes advisable.
Otherwise, he may wake up next
fall to find that the acreage reduc
tion has not been great enough to
offset the erry-over and that he
himself, having to buy Lis living
until October, 1922, is in worse fix
than ever before! Don’t hank on
any f>o or even 10 per cent reduc
tion by other folks. Figure out
a farming program whereby you
will he safe no matter what acre
jage othere may or may not plant.

The time is growing nearer and

The world is not as bright to
many as it should be from the fact
that their lives have been filled
with mistakes and disappoint
ments. The only thing to bring
about a change is to try and over
come our mistakes and thus lessen
our disappointments.
There is nothing more helpful to
a fellow when he begins to worry
and lament over the hard times,
the low price of cotton, no money
and no prospect of getting any
than going to work, sticking to the
job and forgetting everything else.

WINDER SIDEWALKS
Winder cannot have paved side
walks now because we are not
able to have them and paved
streets at the same time,hut our
sidewalks can be greatly benefit
led and improved,
i The trouble with most of them
is that they are lower in the cen
!ter Ilian on both sides and when it
rains the water collects in the cen
ter and makes it almose impossible
to walk without being in water
and mud.
By filling in the centers and mak
ing them higher there than the
sides the water will drain off and
|there will be no mud.
The filling in of tlie walk in
front of Mr. 11. A. Carither’s resi
dence on Broad street has demon
strated this to the satisfaction of
every pedestrian who uses this
sidewalk to and’from the business
part of the city. Before il was
filled in and made higher in the
middle it was almost impassible,
and the mud was an ankle deep.
Now it is dry and has no mud or
water on it.
The Times is glad to see this im
provement, and would suggest to
the street committee that this
work be continued and all the
sidewalks treated the same way as
fast as possible.

LESS COTTON AND MORE
FOODSTUFFS.
Every sane man recognizes that
this is a year when it is very
necessary to plant less cotton and
grow more foodstuffs.
A crop of this kind does not
bring in as much money and pay
as many debts, hut it requires less
money and reduces debts when
enough is made of corn, hay, po
tatoes. syrup and meat to supply
one’s demands.
Under present conditions it is
the only safe and sane way to farm
and most men have concluded to
adopt this plan.
Every farmer will plant some
cotton atid should do so, but the
importance of making the things
needed to live on is indelibly im
pressed on every one and will be
more universally carried into
practice this year than it has been
for many years.
