Some of these bathing beauties re
mind us of an ostrich. They put a
cover on their head and imagine they
are dressed.
Fishing continues good in Florida,
with Georgia furnishing its part 'of
the suckers.
A merchant over at Lexington,
Ga., has a trained alligator which he
in his store. When a bill col
lector comes in the alligator snaps
and writhes in an effort to get to the
intruder. When any one comes in to
trade or pay a bill the alligator is
very docile and will perform all
kinds of stunts for the customer.

You have always heard it as a
saying that the reason it didn't rain
the people were not paying the
preacher but we believe the real
trouble has been not (laying the
editor. Any way we have collected
over S4O on subscription the last I
few days and we've had some fine
showers.
If anybody wants to borrow your
paper this week loan it to them and
tell them the editor would send it to
them every week if they would pay
for it. We have taken 600 names
off the mailing list this week and we
are printing only 1200 papers this
week.
The aeroplane from Atlanta,
which passed over last Friday and
gave a demonstration at Franklin,
N. C., July 4th, on its return trip
last Monday was forced to land in
the city of Cornelia on account of
motor trouble. It landed in Mr.
John Wells’ bean patch and created
quite an attraction and many peo
ple gathered around. Mr. Henry
Loudermilk has the distinction of
selling the first gasoline to an aero
plane in Cornelia.

Why do John Wannrimaker, Mar
shall Field, and all the other bril
liantly successful local merchants
continuously advertise in every pap
er which reaches the people within
the zone of their trading nrea if
they have not proved definitely that
perpetual advertising is the founda
tion of retail trade? Are these mer
chants fools who need to take les
sons in thrift from the small town
merchants or is local advertising in
activity in small towns because the
women and the girls in the small
towns don't wear shoes and stockings
and dresses and lingerie? We hear
the worn out answer from the store
keeper of the sticks, "Well, our town
ia different.” The real answer
should be, “Our merchants are
different.” are. So are their
bank accounts.

(From Albany Herald)
Wo are getting tired of seeing ar
ticles on the editorial pages of .Geor
gia newspapers under the caption,
"What’s the Matter With Georgia?’
There is nothing the matter with
Georgia. There is not another state in
the union in which the man who will
work, especially if he apply himself
to agriculture, will be surer of re
ward for his labor. Georgia is all
right for those who are willing to
Work, and those who work are not
complaining. Show us one who is
whining and asking “What’s the
matter with Georgia?” and we‘ll
show you a slacker in the business or
industrial beehive.

Motorcade a Fizzle
The great Maccaboe motorcade of
1500 cars, advertised to arrive in
Toccoa Monday, en route to Wash

least, so far as Toccoa was concerned
it did not. All that Toccoa knows
about it was that one lone car, label
ed Palestine Tent No. 3, motored
throughh alone. What became of
the other 1,499 cars has not been ex

HABERSHAM CITIZENS
OPPOSE ABOLISHING
OF A. L. M. SCHOOLS
CarkcsviUc, Ga. —Resolutions have
been adopted at a mas3 meeting of
Habersham county citizens opposing
the proposed abolishment of district
agricultural and mechanical schools
in Georgia and favoring an increase
in their efficiency by converting them
into junior college**.
The resolutions stated that Gover
nor Walker, in his message to the
legislature, said he wanted to place
a high school at the door of every
boy and girl in the state. “District
schools have done and are doing
more to bring about this admirable
condition than any other agency in
Georgia,” it was stated.
“Unlimited good has been accom
plished through these schools, enab
ling thousands of students to obtain
a high school education who other
wise could not, and have also,
through the vocational training and
domestic science features, undoubt
edly made better homes and better
farms in Georgia," the resolutions
read.
An appropriation by the legisla
ture to convert the schools into
junior colleges was favored.
ENDORSING NOTES
An old man, over seventy years of j
age, came into our office some days i
ago, and during the converatsion, |
told us of some of his troubles. It
was a sad story and shows that young ,
men often do an incalculable injury
to their old friends who wish to help
them.
Seven years ago this old man had j
a farm of five hundred acres of land, i
was out of debt, and the balance of
his life could have been spent in
comfort and contentment. He had
spent his life in toil and through
economy had accumulated enough to
take care of hirnself in his old age.
He had three nephews that he
thought a lot of and wanted to see
them do well. During the inflated
period several years ago, these three
nephews undertook to do things on a
big scale. They were optimistic and
, felt sure they could win out in a big
way if only they could get the proper
backing. They talked this uncle in
to endorsing their notes to the ex
tent of twenty-two thousand dol
lars. The depression came on, the
young men failed in their undertak
ings, and the old uncle’s farm was
sold to help pay their debts.
Today, he is penniless, unable to
work much, and feels that his life
has been a failure.
It is dangerous to go surety for
another.—Winder News.
BIRDS WORTH BILLIONS
Wherein is the greatest destruc
tion of our natural resources? Sec
retary Work, of the department of
the interior, gives an answer that
Georgians will do well to weigh.
“Through the wanton killing of bird
life,” says he, “wo have multiplied
insects millions of folds. We are told
that last year American farmers lost
eight hundred million dollars by in
sects. This damage to crops exceeds
any possible inroad by the hand of
man on our national resources dur
ing a like period, and is far greater
than the cost of all our reclamation
projects.”
Asa state whose basic interest is
agriculture, Georgia has urgent rea
son to adopt every effective safe
guard against crop-d**stroying in
sects. The first and greatest meas
ure of protection ig to conserve bird
life. We have good statutes for the
purpose, though in some respects
they need strengthening; and offi
cials, for the most part, are doing
their best to enforce them. But we
have yet to cultivate to its full ex
tent that enlightened and aggressive
sentiment which, more than anything
else, will make for observance of
game laws and for due appreciation
of our feathered friends. The Audu
bon societies and the Boy Scouts are
doing much to this end; and where
teachers are much is be
ing accomplished through the schools.
May this good endeavor go forward
throughout the commonwealth. At
lanta Journal.
IT ALL DEPENDS
And speaking of children, it was a
man who told this story—a profes
sor in a.college of agriculture; and
he ought to know.
"A friend of mine told me about a
farmer who heard his baby cry off
nnd on all night, but the father
didn’t budge.
"Along towards morning, one of
his pigs out in the pen gave a squeak,
and in great concoren the farmer got
up and went out to Investigate.
“ ‘Now,’ aid my friend ‘what do
you think of that?’”
That s easy. The pig’s father was
a thoroughbred.’’
METHODIST SCHOOLS GIVEN
BOOST
Unusual Collection Plan Devised,
Yc-krjj Harris Coileg- Allocated
To Churches In This Area
Atlanta, Ga.—The six institutions
of learning of the Southern Metho
dist church in the North Georgia
Conference are elated at the appli
cation of The Texas Plan, to the
collection of pledges to the Christian
Education Movement. Several weeks
ago, the presidents of all Methodist
aollegc in Georgia, assembled in the
office of Dr. Elam F. Dempsey here,
and after hearing Dr. H. H. Sher
man, and giving the Texas Plan full
consideration, adopted it for a nine
ty-day period, namely, July Ist,
through October Ist. This plan has
met with great success in Texas,
Alabama, Virginia, and no less is ex
pected of it in Georgia.
By this plan, Emory University is
allocated to the North and South At
lanta Districts; Emory University
Academy,* to the Oxford District;
Young Harris College, to the Gaines
ville and Elberton Districts; Rein
hardt College, to the Marietta and
the churches of Rome; to Lagrange
College, the Lagrange District and
the churches of Carroll county; and
to the Wesleyan College, the follow
ing towns: Forsyth, Barnesville,
Griffin First Church, Thomaston,
Jackson, Athens First Church, and
Cartersville.
During the ninety-day term, from
July Ist through October Ist, all
money, not already directed, which is
paid upon Christian Education pled
ges by any of the areas named, goes
at once and exclusively to the insti
tution, to which that area is alloca
ted. These areas and institutions
are engaged in a noble rivalry, to see
which can make the largest remittance
during each of the three months al
lotted to this special effort, namely,
July, August, September. They are
urging their friends to pay during
the ninety days named, and pointing
out that they miss their opportunity
I to be of special service to their spe
| daily favored School, if they do not
pay by October Ist. Pastors, church
collectors, presiding elders and other
i church leaders are eagerly at work
to make this intensive campaign a
complete success.
From the above list of allocations,
it will be seen that Young Harris
| College is made the special interest
of our local area All of our citizens
| realize the value of this institution
to the youth of this section. All of
us working together, can do a great
; thing for our boys and girls by the
t time October Ist shall dawn. Let
every friend of this institution spare
no effort to make this campaign a
complete success.
LATE FEED CROPS
Due to dry weather, there is a like
lihood that certain feed crops will
not make a normal yield this year.
An acute feed shortage may devel
op in the State. Even in normal
years, there are many farms in Geor
gia that fail to produce as much feed
as needed. Certain feed crops plan
ted now under favorable conditions
k "ill make a worth while yield.
Good yields of hay have been ob
tained from soy beam planted after
Jijly 15th. Of course large yields
cannot be expected from such late
planting, but a fair yield is better
than no yield at all. For hay the
O-too-tan will very likely make more
hay when planted at this season
than will Laredo. However, if La
redo seed are on hand they may be
planted.
Cowpeas sown at this time of the
year will make a fair yield of hay if
I the season from now on is favora
ble. If cowpea seed are on hand,
nnd land is available, they should be
sown. Cowpea seed that are held
over on farms are usually destroyed
by weevils, any way.
Legume hay should usually be
grown in preference to non-legume
hay. However, it may be desirable
to grow some non-legume hay. Sor
ghum and Sudan grass are the most
dependable non-legume hays that
may be planted now. Either of
them may be counted on to produce
hay if planted on bottom land, or
even on extra good upland. They
are not likely to make much hay if
planted this late on poor, drouthy
upland.

Field Crop Specialist.
