You Can Share Our Pride
In This Big Task
Till: big job which the tele
phone organization in
Georgia is performing is
one in which you have more
than a casual interest. This is a
year of construction and expan
sion to care for the present de
mand for service and provide
for the needs of the immediate
future.
During the five-year period,
including 1926, our plans re
quire an expenditure of $16,-
768, (XX) in Georgia for addi
tions and replacements. Practi
cally all ol this is new money,
which must be secured from in
vestors.
The interest ot the telephone
subscriber and of the telephone
stockholder, in this undertak
ing, is practically the same. If

many people turn from poultry and
sayino- there is “nothing to it,” And
there isn’t anything to it under
management that will allow slackers
to board month after month at the
expense of the working hen. Manage
ment that will allow this is very
apt to be poor in other respects, and
no flock of hens will make money
unless cared for.
I recently removed 45 hens out of
a flock of Leghorns and instead of
decreasing the egg production it in
creased slightly within a week’s time.
This was due to getting the non
layers out of the way and giving
more room and comfort to the layers.
Hens are bringing an unusually good
property wisely and efficiently,
we shall render the largest ben
efit to the public.
We must give the best and
broadest service possible. We
must provide ** service which
will not only keep pace with the
growth of the State, but also
with the constantly increasing
use of the telephone.
We must have rates low
enough to enable every person
who ought to have a telephone
to have one, But sufficient to
pav the cost .of producing the
service and earn enough to at
tract capital to take care of this
growth.
This is what your telephone
organization is trying to do.
But our succees depends, in
large measure, upon the good
will and friendly interest of the
entire community.

there is not hardly any excuse for
not culling at this time.
CLUB ITEMS
Next week Butts will be
represented at Camp Wilkins by a
group of club girls. Last year five
girls attended from this county and
this time ten are expected to make
the trip. In this connection it should
be stated that the Towaliga Woman’s
Club is defraying the expenses of a
worthy girl in their neighborhood,
Miss Ada Weaver. This is com
mendable and other organizations of
the county should follow the ex
ample. What greater good could be
done than to help kindle the fire of
ambition within our boys and girls
than to make it possible in this way
for them to get a broader vision of
life?
The boys from Butts county are
scheduled to go the first Monday in
August. There will be space in camp
for 30 from this county and we cer
tainly want to fill the space. The
cost is $7.00 for each one attending
and if you know of a worthy boy who
would like to go and hasn’t the
money you will confer a lifelong
favor upon him by sending him.
In order to help solve the trans
portation problem I will be glad to
have at least three farmers with ears
to go also on the same basis as the
boys. Gas and oil will be furnished.
Anyone interested in making the
trip should see me at once.
MASONS HOLD MEETING
AT SNAPPING SHOALS
CHAPTER AND COUNCIL MEM
BERS IN ANNUAL SESSION.
MANY PROMINENT MASONS
ATTEND AND TAKE PART
Masons throughout this section at
tended the annual meeting- of Chap
ter and Council Masons at Snapping
Shoals on June 26. The following
account of the meeting is sent the
Progress-Argus by Mr W. C. Woods,
chairman of the Entertainment Com
mittee:
Beginning Augu.-t 10, 1010,
there was created a Chapter of
Royal Arch Masons as well as a
Council of Royal and Select Masters.
Since this date there has been an
annual meeting on the fourth Satur
day in June. We are glad to make
a favorable report on the success of
this meeting which consists of con
ferring all degrees in both the Chap
ter and Council.
Our success has been that we were
fortunate to have with us many dis
tinguished Masons, namely: A. G.
Miller, Past Grand High Priest, Way
cross; P. T. McCuteheon, Past Grand
Illustrious Master. Franklin; Clarence
E. Andrews, Past Grandlligh Priest
and Past Illustrious Master, Macon;
F. A. Johnston, Past Grand Illustrious
Master, Atlanta. W. S. Richardson,
Grand MasteV and Grand Illustrious,
Atlanta, was unable to be present
at the last meeting, due to sickness,
but was represented by Dr. Frank
J. Wells, of Atlanta, who is Grand
King of the Grand Chapter of Geor
gia. C. R. McCord, Grand Master
of the first veil of the Grand Chap
ter of Georgia. Macon. East Point
has .been represented by Dr. Hodges
and others.
J. D. Owens, of Macon, who al
ways makes everybody feel good with
that “perpetual smile,’’ Bob Finney,
who has lost his eyesight but has a
large vision in the degree work; K.
A. Me Han, Grand Secretary of the
Grand Chapter, also of Macon, who
is always on time andnever lacks
when his time for duty conies.
We wish we had space to mention
others, as we had representatives
from Florida, Tennessee, North Caro
lina and Mississippi, as well as from
Jackson and McDonough. We want
to thank our Jackson companions for
helping us make the day a success,
also chapters from Worthville and
Porterdale. Thanks to It. I’. Boyd
for the refreshments during the day.
Thank you. Bob and all other com
mittees who added to the pleasure
of the day. Last but not least, to
the good ladies who prepared such
a nice dinner for we brother Masons
to partake of.
\
Surely we must not forget the
good music rendered by the Ola
quartett and Porterdale stringed
band. Our hats off to you.
In the afternoon a degree was con
ferred by W. L. Green for the
Masons’ wives and daughters.
We feel that these annual meet
ings bring about a close relation
among the Masonic family and all
others. May we in the future let this
day be an inspiration to all to be
more considerate of our fellow man,
believeing the day was well spent
and that many good seed were sown.
With best wishes to all.
W .C. WOODS, Chairman.
Entertainment Committee.
WHAT WE DON’T KNOW
Glenn Frank, President of the
Wisconsin University, says that we
don’t know enough.
Glenn is either a liar or has never
been in the weekly newspaper busi
ness and we won’t submit to his
statement. We know a plenty, such
as it is. i
We know that millers have fat
hogs, but we don’t know whose corn
they eat.
We know that people yell like
the devil fi?r stalwart men in politics
and they don’t want any such thing;
they want men they can kick around.
We know that we pretend that we
want tax registrars that will levy
taxes honestly and fairly when we
raise hell i fthey raise ours in keep
ing with our neighbors’ taxes.
We know that we kick up about
the girls wearing short skirts, when
we put our eyes out gazing at them
as they pass by.
W’e know that we yawn about cor
ruption in elections and money spent
in electing senators and we would
not vote for a man that did not
spend it getting himself before the
people.
Oh, we know enough all right,
such as it this big college man
to the contrary.—Bainbridge Post-
Searchlight.

Wonderful Records Are Made
By Georgia Corn Club Boys
The Georgia State College of
Agriculture has furnished the agri
cultural committee of the Georgia
Bankers’ association with a list of
corn club boys in seventy-six eo.unties
in Georgia who have official records
of having raised 100 bushels or more
of corn on a measured acre.
The highest yield was made by
Walter Bridges, in Terrell county,
who produced on one acre 156 bu.
of corn. The land was measured, the
inspection of two business men and
G. V. Cunningham, state Boy’s Club
agent of the Georgia College of
Agriculture. The moisture contents
of the grain was determined by the
chemical department of the Agricul
tural college and the yield of 156
bushels from one acre is that of corn
of marketable quality. Prof. Cun
ningham personally vouches for the
correctness of the yield.
MR. WILLIAM O’REAR

QUALITY AT LOW COST
Club boys in sixteen counties have
raised 125 bushels of corn or more
on a measured acre. The seventy-six
counties in Georgia in which Corn
club boys have produced, accord
ing to official records, 100 or more
bushels of corn on measured acres,
comprise nearly one-half tin 1 coun
ties in the state and are well dis
tributed throughout Georgia, demon
strating that every section is adapt
ed to producing profitable yields of
corn when proper methods are fol
lowed.
The high yields of corn produced
by the Corn club boys have been
secured at a cost per bushel of half
or less the cost of corn grown by
the farmers, proving that the
methods followed by the boys are
practicable.—-H. M. COTTRELL, Ag
riculturist, Georgia Bankers’ associa
tion.
He is survived by his widow and
om- daughter, Mrs. J. B. Wilson;
seven sisters, Mrs. J. R. Thurston
and Mrs. J. B. Guthrie, of Jackson,
Mrs. VV. J. Simtn of Juliette, Mrs.
J. T. Barnett, Mrs. .J. T. Faulkner,
Mrs. T. J. Bryan, of Atlanta, and
Mrs. Lula Crews, of Birmingham.
Funeral services were held in At
