We are in favor of a year- round watermelon season. Wonder what claim to fame the last legislature has? Moving a newspaper plant is what Sherman said war is. Don’t sit down and howl about the war. Get up and hustle, you lobster. A little boosting puts the glooms to rout. Look on the bright side. The average school boy views with alarm the approach of an other term. The weather man has helped to solve the cotton market right considerably. Some are born paragraphers, some achieve paragraphing and some are never paragraphers. Would’t it have been a Rood bill to reduce the present legisla ture one quarter of one per cent of its membership? A majority of the state would probably vote to move the capital to Macon if Riven the opportuni ty by the legislature. Inasmuch as the legislature does all its work in three days why not make the session just three days instead of fifty? If the prison commission does not get busy and do something the prison commission is likely to find itself without an office. There’s going to be the great est rattling of dry bones in the political arena next year that the people of Georgia have seen in a long time. The Georgia Weekly Press As sociation is some protester itself. A committee from the association went to Atlanta last week and killed a proposed bad advertising bill. The society editor is wrong when she writes about the bride being led to the altar. Most of them could find their way there blindfolded, says the Sparta Ish maelite. Good roads and good schools are worth more than all the pol iticians in the world, with the legislature thrown in for good measure, says the North Georgia Citizen. It spoke a mouthful, too. Says the Darien Gazette: “The public officer should remember always that its the money of the tax payer and not his own that he is spending. Trust funds should be handled with great care, especially by public officials of all kinds and conditions.” Every high school in this coun try ought to have a military branch, with a first-class military officer at the head of it. The young ought to be taught sys tem, discipline, military bearing, gentlemantly deportment and they ought to be given the phys ical training that such a system would give. That would mean stronger, healthier young men. —Valdosta Times. The above expresses a timely truth. The Times could have gone further and said that the present national guard should re ceive a more loyal support. YOU AND YOUR HORSE From The Dawson News. We are reminded to call atten tion to the plight of the faithful horse—as well as of the farm mule —during the hot days of midsummer, there being a broad realization that even the most human of us are apt to be forget ful. It is a subject well worthy of a timely word each summer. The horse, as faithful a friend as the dog, is dumb. He has no means of protesting when overly wear ied because of your thoughtless ness. You may drive him to death if you will. His heart may be breaking literally and actual ly, but until it breaks and he falls to die he cannot warn you •f the impending tragedy. He must trust to your humanitarian ism and judgment. When you are overheated you make for the nearest shade, a cooling drink, a bath or a palm leaf fan. When your horse is overheated Take Out The Ashes Uremia is due to the circulation in the system of poison and waste pro ducts that should be removed from the blood by the kidneys. If the ashes are not removed the tire dies and the machinery stops. So with the waste products of the system.

The instances wherein horses are killed in this manner because of cruelty are few and far be tween. Almost always it is thoughtlessness, pure and simple. But that does not help the horse.
