This is another week we don’t even

o
The railroads of the United States
hauled more freight during the first
three months of 1925 than they have
ever hauled during a similar period
in their history. Sounds like good
times in this old land of ours.
o
Every day when the dailies come,
we just wonder what great catas-1
f* trophe has taken place this time. We
are getting used to reading about
hundreds and thousands getting kill
ed; fires, murders, earthquakes,
floods, tornadoes, etc. The world’s
moving some these days.

Bad Sportsmanship.
Good citizenship means obdience
to laws. No good citizen wil indulge
v in dynamtiing the streams in order to
** get a string of fish. All who use
dynamite know that it is contrary to
law, but yet there are many who
think that they have a right to do as
they please, reagrdless of the law.
When a man steps on one law he
is ready to break another if it gets
in his way and he thinks that he
can escape detection. Those who
dynamite streams destroy all of the
fish within the range of the explo
r sion and they not only trample upon
the rights of law abiding citizens,
but upon their own rights as well.—
Sandersville Progress.
o
TEN GREAT WOMEN
A Canadian newspaper sent out a
questionnaire and asked for the
names of the greatest women in the
Dominion. A similar plan was used
u by the National League of Women
* Voters of the United States. The
response brought out a surprising
list of names of persons who have
achieved fame in some special line
of work—-poets, physicians, scien
tists. welfare workers and publicists.
But most of us will agree with Mrs.
Nellie McClung, of Winnipeg, that
the truly great women are unknown
to fame. Her list was: “The farm ,
woman; the laborer’s wife; the cheer- 1
ful, efficient domestic worker; the ,
. widow who raises a family; the ru-!
■* ral teacher; the city teacher; the ■
minister’s wife; the grown daughter
who eases the responsibility off her
mother’s tired shoulders; the laboring
woman; the professional woman; the
business woman; the. informed citi
zen who realizes her responsibility.”
Are not these, the fameless, great?
Can words add luster to a glorious
deed already done or distinction add
. to a silent service to mankind? The :
’ nobility of patient effort is not itself
enriched by public notice. Courage,
faithfulness, loyalty, are not less i
praiseworthy because they are not!
proclaimed; nor achievements against
great odds less notable because they !
are hid in lives that shun publicity. 1
We should, in justice, honor those
V whose public service brings them
fame. But there are heroines whose
roughened hands will never clasp the
laurel wreath. Yet the Recording
Angel, who measures all things with
a proper sense of justice, will num
k ber them with the truly great.

Such a Waste.
“Fadder,” said Ikie, “give me a
penny.”
“Vot you want mit a penny?”
asked his father.
“To buy an all-day sucker.”
“Vot, an all-day sucker, and it’s
three o’clock in the afternoon al
ready?”—Everybody’s Magazine.
o
It Was.
Have seen one of the Georgia edi
tors who went to New York last
week. When we asked about the
trip he just looked befuddled. For
the once it seems that Georgia edi
tors have tackled a thing beyond
their comprehension or descriptive
power. Must have been an awfully
huge affair. —Oglethorpe Echo.
o
Wouldn't Swap.
We noticed the picture in one of
our exchanges last week of the lady
in tights who has her legs insured
for ten thousand dollars. We exam
ined her picture very carefully
through our best pair of eye glasses
and we cannot see that her legs are
any finer than the ones we use. Any
way, we would not swap ours for hers
today.—Dahlonega Nugget.

A farmer brought some produce to

a suit of clothes, a hat, a pair of
shoes, and put them under the back
seat. On his way home he stopped
at the river, took off his clothes and
threw them in. Then he looked un
der the seat for his new outfit. They
were gone. Finally he got into the
buggy and said, “Giddap, Beck—we’ll
surprise her anyhow.”—LaGrange

“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8.Jr.
With the coming of commencement
and the final touches of graduation,
one wonders what will become of the
great army of young people turned
out upon the world. Every year
this same thing happens. Every year
thousands of young men and women
graduate, pack their belongings, say
their “good-byes,” and go forth in
quest of a job—any kind of job. A
few, a very few, have a “pull” and
step into nice positions, or others
have fathers in business who are
ready and anxious to make a place
for their children, but mostly the
average boy comes out of college
without the slightest idea of what he
will do. In a hap-hazard sort of a
way, he finally finds a position. In
a hap-hazard sort of away, he either
succeeds or fails as the years go by.
Or. as the years go by the finally gets
into the work he likes and uscceeds.
But for the most part those first few
years are lost simply because of no
fixed objective, and because no defi
nite plans for a career are made,
while in college. One wonders what
is to become of these thousands of
graduates each year.
But thankfully times are beginning
to change. Gradually out of the
chaos of years a definite trend to
wards specialization has arisen. The
young people are more and more
each day realizing the importance of
making their life plans early and
then preparing for them. So, that
by the time they go to college they
have picked their profession, or ca
reer, and actively begin to prepare
for it. And then when they step out
of college at graduation, they are
no longer intrepid explorers guard
edly feeling their way, cautiously
picking their paths, but are sure
footed travelers, fleet and nimble,
■who are confident in their trail and
certain of their direction. Success
comes sooner. There are fewer dis
appointments. Careers and profes
sions are built up and with the
passing of years, the success and the
worthiness of an early preparation
is easily seen. Truly, this is the day
of specialization.
Even, the few years ago when I
was a college student, it was not
so. Outside of the lawyers and the
physicians, few prepared themselves
for the days to come in a business
world. Graduation meant the begin
ning of the “great adventure” but
the ways were uncharted. Gradu
ation meant the end of college days
and then a hunt for a job,—anything,
anywhere. It is different now. Ev
ery college is the busyf preparation
ground for highly specialized posi
tions and careers to be had out of
college. A host of experts and ex
perienced teachers drill and steadily
instill the fundamentals of each pro
fession in the heads and hears of the
youngsters. And with the law school
and medical school, there have come
the schools of commerce, deparments
of geology, journalism, agriculture,
pharmacy, chemistry, commercial
art, — training schools of all kind.
At Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.,
there is now a four year course in
hotel managership. Here a student
is trained in every phase of the hotel
work—, the entertaining of guests,
the intricacies of menus, the value of
foods, the cost of help, the system
of finance, hotel book-keeping—, and
everything that is connected with a
modern hotel. In the summer time
the students are placed in some hotel
for the vacation period and work in
every department so as to acquire a \
practical knowledge of the business.
In this way, at the end of four years
a graduate is sent out fully equipped
and competent to make a successful

The continued drought which has
afflicted both Colorado and Texas the
last twelve months, I have written of
before. Texas, especially, was in a
serious predicament. Farmers were
abandoning the farms. Ro planting
was being attempted. A desolation
and a pall of pessimism shrouded the
whole country that boded the direst
kind of future for the whole state.
But in the last few weeks a rain
mercifully descended and put new
hope and faith in the Texan’s heart.
In Colorado, the draught still con
tinues. In twelve months only a lit
tle more than one inch of moisture
has come upon the land, so that con
ditions have become very alarming.
For two minutes last Wednesday, the
people of Denver and vicinity laid
aside their work and asked God to
send rain in Denver and Colorado.
This was an idea promoted by the
Rotary Club of Denver. The time
set aside was between 12 and 12:02
o’clock Wednesday noon.
Arthur Brisbane in his daily syn
dicated column in the newspapers all
over the country usually has some
thing interesting to say. His views
generally reflect much wisdom and
are generally, too, sane and intelli
gent. Whether one agrees with his
ideas or not, it is decidedly enter
taining to follow his line of thought.
Do you believe in capital punish
ment Here’s what he has to say.
“Elmer Stewart, aged 23, and his
father, were belted in the same elec
tric chair a few days ago. First
came the father, then his son ten
minutes later. Another son, Willie,
in his teens, was sentenced to fifteen
months on the chain gang ‘for as
sault and resisting officers.’ The
governor now paroles him, that he
may help his mother to support her
self and some younger children.
Governor McLean says he wants the
family to know that the state ‘wants
to help them, rather than to hurt
them.”
Wouldn’t it have been a good idea
to put the father and son to work
somewhere, instead of killing them in
the electric chair, confining them
where they could never kill, and
where they could work to support
the mother and the young children?
How soon will civilization outgrow
the theory that when an ignorant
man commits murder the state should
follow the example and kill in its
turn?
Norman, Okla., —it’s the “play sea
son” out here. In this little college
town, the seat of the University of
Oklahoma, the whole college is astir
with the call of outdoors. Spring
clothes, with all the bright colors
make an alluring spectacle of the
streets. Short skirts, beautiful
clothes, charming winsimeness, makes
’em all look like flappers whether
they are or not. They grow ’em
pretty out here.

“Blessings on thee, little dame,
Bareback girl with knees the same,
With thy rolled-down silken hose
And thy short, transparent clothes;
With thy red lips, reddened more,
! Smeared with lipstick from the store;
With thy makeup on thy face,
And thy bobbed hair’s jaunty grace,
i From my heart I give thee joy,
' Glad that I was born a boy.”

From Sun Readers
Atlanta, Ga., May 11, 1925.
1 New York Ave.
Dear Friends:—“For What It’:
Worth,” by E. B. B„ Jr. Well, that
would be hard to say, for the articles
are superbly written.
The style of writing is not
only fascinating, but a thrilling in
spiration. I have always been an
admirer of fine descriptive powers.
I will miss a good meal any old time
to read E. B. 8., Jr’s “For What It’s
Worth.” It would be a calamity to
get a Sun without his weekly letter.
The metropolitan papers have
nothing better. I congratulate this
splendid Hart county boy. I say
Hart county boy, for I know who he
is.
“For What It's Worth” each week
is worth more than a year’s subscrip
tion. If The Sun contained nothing '
else I would not be disgruntled. I
hope my good friends will stay on
the job and give us every week his
spicy and superlatively interesting
letters. E. B. B’s flow of sweet and
simple English is not only easy but
natural.
The words just seem to spontane
ously let themselves out . And he has
the good luck to use the most eu
phonious ones.

Not so the man whose money is all in his bank.
The one conducts his business in away that no one

ducts his business so that his bank has a line on his financial
