Farm Bureau
✓ -
It has been agreed by all that
to accomplish any good for the
farmer all must combine and
work together. And industry as
big as farming must not be satis
fied with anything but a strong
representation in the affairs of
the world. So far, farmers have
not been very successful in their
attempts to unite and get this
strong representation that they
deserve. But, now, here comes
an organization and works with
all those influences, that assist
the farmer. ' ,
The American Farm Bureau
Federation is the head . organiza
tion, and represents all those
£000,000 farmers who belong to
the county farm bureaus. Forty
fpur states are represented in
this national federation, and
over a thousand counties in these
States. Iowa alone has 120.000.
farm bureau members and Illino
is has 106,000. Practically every
county in these central western
states has a* farm bureau, and
the majority of the farmers are
members. Georgia has, now,
forty-one counties organized with
farm bureaus, and the plans are
to organize a farm bureau in
every county in the State.
It is evident then that when
you join your county farm bureau
that you join with the farmers
forty-four states, and all are
rested in those things which
n you and your busineaer
the farmers of the south could
hear the farmers of the north
and central west tell about what
tlieir farnt bureaus have done,
then every one would ioin the
county farm bureau quickly. The
problems in those sections are
not -so different from these in
this section. The Farm bureaus
have proven the best solution for
these many ills.
,To accomplish what the farm
bureaus have cut out to do every
farmer must work with his
neighbor. Every one rnust go
along together, for if one goes
ohe way and another goes an
other way the result will be that
both win be lost. The County
Farm Bureau is an open organi
zation of all the farmers in the
county who wish to take ad
vantage of the work, and it is
for every farmer to spe that his
neighbor is a member.
The work of the farm bureau
is to assist ip cooperative mar
keting, to cut the costs of pro
duction, to cut the costs of dis
tributing farm products, and to
represent the,farmer in all legis
lation that in any way affects
his business. The success of
this work is dependent qn co
operation,’ and faith in your
neighbor.

Greatest Event in History^
We have not the military
mastery of the world like Rome,;
por have we put other kingdoms 1
and empires under our hael, as
did Egypt, Babylon. Assyria,
Persia, Greece and Rome, but in
the evolution of civilization those
were as nothing compared with
what has resulted from the sign
ing of that great Declaration in
Philadelphia, July 4, 1776.
After a funeral discourse by
the pastor, L. T. Weldon, at the
head of Tennessee Baptist church
on the afternoon of the 27th day
of June 1921, the sixteen months
aged son of Hannibal Curtis was
laid to rest by the side of its
mother who preceeded it to the
grave only a few months. This
little one by its bright mind and
cheerful disposition had twined
itself around the hearts affec
tion of the father and its six
other little brothers and sisters.
Especially was its oldest little
sister, about ten or twelve years
of age, very fond of her little
baby brother. Since its mothers
death in a commendably, atten
tively and motherly way had
this little girl unselfishly and
sacrificingly watched over and
and nursed the little one. The
father and the heart broken little
childd^en have the sympathy
of all their.acquaintances. -
Bereaved ones, rejoice that
while the little one cannot come
back to you that you can go to

Short Skirts Are Allright
There is a lot of mighty silly
talk and writing about women’s
clothes, indulged in by small
fjivines and editors who ought to
know better. The evil, it there
is any, is more in the talk and
writing than in the clothes. We
believe that the women are
wearing more sensible and
healthy opparrel than ever be
fore. The so-called short skirt is
both sane and hygenic. The street
sweeping skirts of a few years
were an abomination. So were
the bustles, hoopskirts and what
nots.—Dalton CUisen,^- - - ...
Who would want to live where
110 short skirts are on parade? A
man is short on appreciation if
he dislikes short “skirts. Away
with the critics. Let the skirts
remain where they are.

Dear Mr. Reynolds,
J Will you allow me,
through the columns of your ably
idited paper, to call attention to
Jie little paper published by the
tote Bureau of Markets, their
tarket Bulletin.
This liitle Bulletin has been
f very -material benefit to me,
ssisting me in marketing hun-
•eds of dollars worth of apples,
J well as hogs and other produce,
forms an advertising medium
>r 34,000 Georgia farmers, and
rmers in every county are loud
; its praise. Its publication
aces Georgia in the unique
>sition of being the foremost
late in the Union in giving
■actical assistance to its farm
’s and to withdraw it from
iblication would be a calamity.
Let me urge that every reader
j the Tribune become a suB*-
ber to this paper, and I am
fident that every subscriber
II become a “booster”^ Let
urge that every citizen of
.bun do all in his power to
vent the discontinuance o{
is Bulletin through "pny act of
ihe State Legislature.
With very best regards I am
Yours sincerely,
Wm. M. Edson. .
A number of boy scouts from
Clayton,- accompanied by Rev.
Etheridge; spent a few days on
a camp at Lakemont last week,
returning Friday. They intend
ed staying loffger but a bunch of
.hJigs visit&d'the camp during the
night and devoured their'food,
and they had to come home for
nourishment. We are at a loss
to know which of the boy did »t,
as they alb^have the reputation
as being “razor backs. ”
• About Advertising
When Mark Twain was editor
of a Missouri newspaper a super
stitious subscriber wrote him
that he had found a spider in his
paper, asking if that was a sign
of good or bad luck. The humorist
replied: “Finding a spider in
your newspaper was neither good
nor bad luck. This spider was
looking over our paper to see
which merchant was not adver
tising, so he can go to that store,
spin his web across the door and
live a. life of undisturbed peace
ever afterwards.”
Should Be Commemorated
Independence day lives in the
hearts of the people, rather than
in spectacles. It is recognized and
observed m spirit, whether there
are parades or fireworks or
pageants of‘any kind. It requires
no noisy demonstration to keep it
active as an influence for good
citizenship. And yet it is good
for the people to get together on
that day and commemorate it in
some fashion, utilize it as a
stimulus to their best sentiment.,
Automobile Owners-Attenion!
Atlanta, Ga.—Even- Georgia
man who owns an automobile or*
who expects to own one should
be interested-in the passage of a>_
bill, to 116 presented* at the ap
proaching seto’iori of -fyie. Legis-'
Irtture. which is .designed, to stop'
the stealing of automobiles by
making it practically impossible
to sell a stolen car. It is being
backed by prominent members*
of both houses and is indorsed
by all the organizations interest
ed in the automobile industry. A
similar bill passed the Senate
last summer but never came up
for a vote in the house, owing to
the congestion of the last few
days.
The bill will follow the lines of
the law in successful operation
in Michigan and several other
states. It provides, in brief, that
whenever a car is sold the seller •
must fill out a bill of sale giving
the engine number and other
identifying marks. One copy of
this,is to be sent the Secretary of .
of State and One retained by the
buyer of the car. The buyer
shall report to the sheriff of his
county within ten days and the
sheriff will inspect the car and,
sae that it “checks” with that
described in bills of sale. There
is very little “red tape” required.*
Penalties are provided for alter
ing serial numbers of automobiles
and for forgery or alternation ot
bills of sale.
The bill will protect not only
the present owners of cars, but
hundreds of innocent purchasers*
of used automobiles. While most
of the thefts occur in the larger
cities, thesmall town and country
residents are frequently “stung’’
by buying a car from a stranger
who gives no proof of legal pr-
session. The car is afterwards
traced and recovered and the
purchaser loses his money and
has no redress. Hundreds of
such cases were . reported in
Georgia this year.
