There’s one • very commendable
trait in the Hartwell merchants—
they practically all keep their show
windows cleaA and attractively deco
rated, changing quite often. In talk
ing with a tourist from Berkeley
Springs*, W. Va., the other day he
swiid there were few cities the size
of Hartwell that had such attractive
store fronts. We thanked him and
told him that Hartwell was the best
business town in this section of Geor
gia. He said that fact was very evi
dent. Show windows are somewhat
like a person’s face. You can tell
what’s back of it by the outside ap
pearance.

That the city that gets the adver- :

That advertising a city is a busi
ness, not child’s play?
That people go miles to get a good,

That your property will increase
in value when the outside world
knows your city is wide awake?
That people from neighboring
cities will come where there is some
thing doing?
That the city that does not seek
something better than it now has is
going to lose out?

YOUR INCOME TAX
If you are single and support in
your home one or more persons close
ly related to you and over whom you
exercise family control, you are the
head of a family and entitled under
the revenue act of 1924 to the same
personal exemption allowed a mar
ried person, $2,500. In addition, a
taxpayer is entitled to a credit of
S4OO for each person dependent up
on him for chief support, if such per
son is either under 18 years of age
or incapable of self-support because
mentally or physically defective. Such
dependent need not be a member of
the taxpayer's household. For ex
ample, an unfnarried son who sup
ports in his home an aged mother is
entitled to an exemption of $2,500
plus the S4OO credit for a depend
ent, a total of $2,900. If from choice
the mother lived in another city, the
son, although her chief support,
would be entitled only to the SI,OOO
exemption, plus the S4OO credit. The
mother not living with him, he is not
| considered the head of a family.
I An exemption as the head of a
L family can be claimed by only one
I member of a household.
L The S4OO credit does not apply to

The Elberton Star, in commenting
on the articles in The Sun recently
regarding the amount of money re
ceived by Mr. Crayton White, Mr. J.
T. Richardson and others, through
the sale of chickens, eggs, butter and
other products of the farm, said:
“We will venture to say that here
is a farmer who never complains that
the country is going to waste on ac
count of the boll weevil. It s also
a good bet that his stock is sleek and
fat and that you will find the fences ,
and out-houses on his place well kept
and in good repair. With an Income
of near SSO per month independent
of the main crops of cotton, corn,
syrup, potatoes, etc., besides plenty
of good things for the table the year
round, there is an independence of
living in this household that makes
life worth while. If every other crop
besides the vegetables, fruits, chick
ens, eggs, milk and butter were a ;
total failure, these thrifty people
would continue on the even tenor of
their way, pay their bills and ask no
one for credit.
“This is the kind of farm program
that it is gojng to take to bring this
section back to its rightful place of
farm leadership and prosperity. It
is gratifying to note the increasing
number of Elbert county farmers
who are making up their minds to
live at home first of all, sell the
surplus crops around the house for
the pocket change, and then go after
the money crop, as this progressive
neighbor is doing.”

THINGS THAT MAKE A TOWN
GREAT
“A little more praise and a little less
blame,
A little more virtue, a little less
shame,
A little more thought for the other
man’s rights
A little less self in our chase for de
lights,
A little more loving, a little less
hate,
Are all that are needed to make the
town great.
A little more boosting, a little less
peering,
A title more trusting, a little less
fearing,
A little more patience in trouble and
pain,
A little more kindness worked into
strife,
Are all . that are needed to glorify
life.
A little more honor, a little less
greed,
A little more service, a litle less
creed,
A little more courage when pathways
are rough,
A little more action, a little less
bluff,
A little more kindness by you and
by me,
And, oh, what a wonderful town it
would be.”

WHICH BEAN SHALL
I PLANT TO SELL?
Editor Southern Cultivator:
Please inform me which of the
two beans is the most profitable to
raise for sale, Laredo or O-Too-Tan.
I want to plant four or five acres
isl beans and would like to know at
about what price I could get per
bushel for them next fall. Will you
answer soon as I want to know how
to begin to arrange for this year’s
crop? D. H. D.
Hartwell, Ga.
Comment by the Editor:
Plant both, the O-Too-Tans and
the Laredo. They will both sell well.
The O-Toy-Tan is the best for hay
and early planting. The Laredo is
best to plant after grain, as it
matures earliest. We cannot tell
just what the price will be next fall, ;
blit we can say that these two beans '
are here to stay, and the demand
for seed will be good for the next
twenty years. They make the feed
and they help the land, and they can
stand drouth far betten than the cow
pea.—Southern Cultivator.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., FEBRUARY 13,1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
The most apparent feature of
Dallas, Texas, to a stranger is its
city-like appearance. It is a hustling
booming place, with a bustle and
activity rarely found even in the
larger cities. Its resemblance to
Atlanta is so pronounced that a
visitor who knows both places is
continually comparing the two cities
with each other. Time and time
again, I have unconsciously done
this, and I have found it to be the
case with others. With it all, in spite
of the Texas city’s more startling
boom and outward progress, Atlanta
still has the edge on her and a more
substantial backing. Atlanta’s age
and steady growth, slowly at times
but surely, has put her in an inviable
position, with the passage of years.
One feels and senses all this on a
visit there. Dallas is different in
this. She is just now coming into
her own. She is pushing forward,
eagerly, perhaps a little too eagerly.
Her people are a new people—ad
venturers, plungers, drifters, from
all parts of the country. There are
no traditions. There are no old
families. Only the lure of. money, a
1 magicial setting, new industries
springing up each day, a future that
holds promise of great things.
My last visit to Dallas was the
most pleasant of all my stays there.
The years have brought some close
friendships. The city itself has be
come dear to me. So, on this trip
having more time to myself than
usual, I looked up old friends and
renewed the ties of former years
and with the January’s usual legarthy
of busjness, I took advantage of the
opportunity and made the best of
my trip. Dallas is an interesting
city. Like all the cities of the West,
it is sparkling in its newness. Giant
buildings are being erected, a steady
flow of traffic is only halted with
the electrical stop signal and then at
the clang of the signal bell for the
right of way, charges on, again.
Dallas is a well-dressed city. The
throngs that parade up and down
the streets, main business section are
a colorful group. Rivaling Fifth
Avenue, herself, it is a much better
dressed crowd than Atlanta can
boast of and instead of the South
west, one could easily imagine this
city as a typical city of the East.
Daytime—, the clatter and whirl of
traffic with hurrying crowds, mostly
on business. At nights—, a brilliant
array of glittering lights and electric
signs and the same crowds, only a
laughing, jovial crew out “doing”
the town for pleasure. And there’s
plenty to. The famous Adolphus
hotel with its roof garden and its
splendid orchestra. Its private ball
rooms and cases. The Ritz—, an
other dancing center. Shows. The
Majestic with Keith vaudeville. And
numbers of other palatial houses,
showing the newest in pictures.
And one night, in the midst of all
this sort of life, through the kind
ness of my friend Moss Allman, for
mer fellow townsman, a bunch of us
tried out something entirely new.
The colored folks of Dallas have a
very nice theatre of their own and

Isabelle Rockfeller, grandniece of
the oil king, is an instructor in
biology in the Teachers’ College of
[Columbia University.
By E.8.8.Jr.
had been running a road show of the
musical variety for several days. So,
on this night they put on what they
termed it, a “midnight frolic” for the
white people only. It began at 11
o’clock p. m. Moss and our crowd
arrived early and with packed house
of white people proceded to enjoy
the best musical show of its kind
that I have enjoyed in many a day.
Real negro music. Real negro sing
ing as only those people can sing.
With the mamma lullabys and the
“blues” songs and we come out at
1 o’clock a. m. a very delighted
audience.
It is hard to write when one’s
heart is breaking. It is harder to
go out each day and face a world
that wants only cheerfulness and the
gay laugh of the optimist, and to
keep right on and fight for business
when all the time one’s thoughts are
back home with the bereaved ones
there, and one’s heart is filled with
a sadness that only Time itself can
heal. I am writing this tonight in
such a frame of mind. Tonight, I
stood on the college hill that over
looks the city of Boulder, Colo. Here
is the great University of Colorado,
with its stately buildings and its
magnificent fraternity and sorority
homes. I stood with a friend, a boy
formerly from Arkansas whom I
have known for years who is now
an instructor in chemistry here. We
I were Fraternity brothers. We have
! always been the closest of friends.
And as we stood there on the campus,
i in a lonely spot and looked down on
1 Boulder below with its twinkling
' lights and its lovely night appearance,
for awhile, we were both quiet and
then I told him of home and our
troubles and our recent bereavement
and how hard it was at times to
keep faith and fight on and keep
one’s illusions. And he listened
quietly for awhile and then grasped
my hand and gently, as is his way,
told me something of his life and his
trials and how at one time, every
thing seemed tinsel and God has for
saken him. And as he talked I heard
a story that I did not know, and that
I would have never imagined. A
story of his own life that had plunged
him into despair once, but with a
final strength to go on and not give
up. And hours went by and we both
talked and then were silent and out
of the night there came an under
standing, a sense of peace—, was it
God’s hand?—, anyway, a feeling of
renewed faith that put strength in
our heart, to go on.
And so it is. All of us, at times,
feel that we have more than our
share of troubles. That for some
unfathomable reason, we are re
quired to stand more and carry more
burdens, than our fellowman. And
yet, when we look around, our first
analysis does not hold true. We find
we are mistaken. For, in every heart
there comes grief, and in every fami
ly there’s a sorrow that many a
time we know nothing of. And—,
many a smiling face and a cheerful
companion hides deep down in his
heart, a hurt that only Time will heal,
and a disillusion that, perhaps, never
shall be swept away.

Sight of Cats and Owls
The belief that cats and owls can
I see in the dark is a popular fallacy.
The iris of a cat's eye is capable of
great variation, so as to admit more
or less light, thus enabling the cat to
see much better in the dusk than can
humans, but in absolute darkness all
I animals are as helpless as any human
being. The feature which adapts cer
tain eyes for use with only a poor
light is the constitution of the retina
which is composed of two sets of struc
) tures, the so-called rods and cones.
I The rods are apparently affected by
radiation slightly before the cones,
and hence some creatures, Including
owls, whose eyes possess a large pro
portion of cones, are better suited for
j seeing in a faint light.
A LITTLE FUN—
Born Talented
“How you do stutter, my poor

“N-n-n-no, I d-d-d-do this natural

Truthful Patient: “Oh, yes, rather.
I generally step on the soap as I get

The Height of Laziness
“Here,” cried the foreman to the
Irish laborer, “look at that English
man carrying two scaffold poles at
a time, and you’re only taking one.”
“Sure,” answered the Irishman,
“he must be too lazy to go twice, en
toirely.”
An Optimist
Smith: “Blythe is a pretty opti
mistic character, I hear.”
Brown: “I should say so! If he
failed in business he’d thank Heaven
he had his health; if he failed in
health, he’d be glad he had his busi
ness; and if he failed in both, he’d
say there was no use having one with
out the other.”
What Is Radio?
Aunt: “Can you explain wireless
telegraphy to me, Arthur?”
Arthur: “Well, if you had a very
long dog reaching from Winnipeg
to Regina and you trod on his tail
in Winnipeg it would bark in Regina.
That’s telegraphy; and wireless is
precisely the same thing without the
dog.”
One Way Os Telling
Two fishermen were angling in a
river, when one suddenly dropped his
rod.
“Say!” he ejaculated. “Did you
see that feller fall off that cliff over
there into the river?”
“Don’t get excited, Bill,” soothed
the other. “Mebbe it was a movie
actor makin’ pictures.”
“But, my stars! How kin we tell?”
“Well,” counseled the judicious
one, “ if he drowns, he ain’t.”
Good* Diplomacy
Negro named Sam had worked
for his master for five years. His
friend, Ben, said to him one day:
“Now, Sam, you have worked up
there and made your employer rich.
You ought to ask for more money.
You just tell him: “Look here, guv’-
nor, you, pay me more money, or
else—’.”
Sam tried his friend’s advice next
morning. He began: “Say, boss, you
hab to give me more money, fo’ dis
job.”
“Well, Sam, I’ll see about it,” was
the reply.
“See about nothin’. You pay mo’
or else —”
“Pay more or else, else what?”
The employer’s eyes flashed and his
tone was sharp.
Sam’s eyes blinked as he detected
his mater’s anger, and in a soft voice
he replied:
“Else I wuck for de same money.”
