GROWING FOOD SUPPLY
PROMOTES BETTER HEALTH
Not only will it pay to grow the
food and food crops needed on furms
this year but the healtrf of the peo
ple is improved when there is milk
to drink and vegetables and fruit to
eat.
Such things cost money to buy and
many times they are not bought.
Then the health of the family suf
fers and the children are underweight
and undernourished. Surveys made
by home demonstration agents show
that many children and adults too
on a number of farms are not pro
perly fed. This does not mean that j
the folks do not get enough to eat. [
They do. But the food is not of the I
right kind. Fat hack, grits, black l
coffee and molasses are not healthy |
foods but many children have to ex- j
ist on these as their principal diet'
because other foods are not raised 1
at home and the cash income is not 1
sufficient, to permit better foods be
ing bought.
The person who would he strong,
healthy and active must have plenty
of fruit and vegetables in the diet
and should drink milk regularly, say
home demonstration workers. If the !
children are to develop and grow
Into healthy manhood and woman
hood with vigorous, happy, intelli
gent bodies and minds, they will
need an abundance of fresh vege-!
tables, fruits, milk, butter, eggs, I
poultry, and other foods containing
the elements essential to best growth, j
All of these may be produced on the
home farm with little extra effort.
BUILT AND PAID FOR
Forward, steadily forward, goes
the work of completing and perfect
ing Georgia’s system of state high
ways. Among the more notable
•strides about to be taken are the
opening of the new Piney Bluff
bridge over the Altamaha river, be-1
tween Baxley and Lyons, and of a 1
new bridge over the Satilla, near 1
Woodstock, on the Coastal highway;
the discontinuance of tolls on the'
Alford and Smith-McGee bridges, j
near Hartwell; and the letting of
road construction contracts at an '
estimated cost of more than a mil-'
lion, four hundred thousand dollars.
The building projects thus to be pro-'
vided for will pave the gaps in cross-1
state highways between the capital#!
city and points on the Alabama, the 1
Tennessee, the North Carolina and
the Florida lines, and also between I
the Florida line and the cities of Sa- 1
vannah and Augusta. These are but
typical of improvements continually
made and of large plans ever press-'
ed toward consummation. Without 1
fanfare, but surely and efficiently,
Georgia is building excellent roads
across her wide expanse and between
her county sites, is building thorn
without mortgaging her future or
burdening the taxpayers. When the
great system is finished—a goal now
assured—it will compare with Ameri
ca’s best and, more, it will be paid
for.—Atlanta Journal.
Enactment of a statute similar to
tlie Baunies law in New York state,
which imposes life-imprisonment on
persons convicted a fourth time of
felony was recommended by the Ful
ton county "rand jury at its March
term. The jury, representing the
most populous county in the state,
was presided over by J. P. Billups,
general manager of the Atlanta &
West Point Railroad.
Ihe Georgia Medical Association
meets in Athens Wednesday of next
week for a three days session. Dr.
V. O. Harvard, or Arabi, is president,

ant meeting, and will bring together
some five hundred physicians. The
association has a membership of
about fifteen hundred. Dr. Ralph
Freeman, of Hosehton, will represent
Jackson county in the house of dele
gates.
If your husband takes friends to
ride and fails to invite you to go
along, a Chatham county woman has
discovered a way to get even with
the erring benedict—pour a mixture
of syrup and shellac into his auto
mobile engine. At a trial in the
superior court in Savannah in which
a couple were airing their marital
differences before Judge Peter W.
Meldrim, it deve'oned that the wife
resorted to this means to “get even"
with her “tormenting" husband.
Mr. Eugene W. Stetson of New
ork City, a native of Macon and aa
alumnus of Mercer University, has
announced a gift of fifty thousand
dollars to Mercer University. Mr.
Stetson s gift is conditioned on Geor
g;u Baptists giving five hundred
thousand dollars to the present en
dowment campaign. To show his
good faith Mr. Stetson has made the
first payment on his gift.
Professor Frederick W. Bennett
of the Georgia State College of Agri
culture has been elected to honorary
membership in Lambda Camma Delta,
a national honorary agricultural fra
ternity. This honor is in recognition
of his service in the advancement of
animal husbandry. Professor Bennett
is a son of Mr. C. L. Bennett, and is
a graduate of Martin Institute.
The Springfield Herald has threat
ened to publish the names of the
youngsters in that town who spec*,
in automobiles through the streets,
but Editor Sutlive of the Savannah
Press thinks maybe it might embar
rass Brother Moore to have to name
the child of one of his most esteemed
subscribers, so he suggests that he
wait awhile and these names will bn
printed in the obituary column. The
city authorities of Springfield, in
an effort to stop speeding, has con
stituted every member of council an
arresting officer for these traffic law
breakers.
The League of Women Voters
says the right to vote, the prize for
which some women labored valiant
ly, apparently is not being exercised
to the extent it might be. Speaking
before the general council of the
League of Women Voters Saturday,
Mrs. George Gellhorn, of St. Louis,
declared that men are “better vot
ers” than women and when the wo
man is a wife and mother, she ranks
far below husband, son and daughter.
“The failure of women to exorcise
their newly won rights,” she said,
“is the chief concern of the League
of Women Voters and the reason
for its existence.”
An educational survey of DeKalk
I county, authorized by the school
| board and conducted under the aus
pices of the educational department
of Emory university with the assis
tance of Walter Hill, of the state
department of education, is being
made in all the county schools, ac
cording to a statement by Dr. Ralph
E. Wager, director of the Emory
school of education. The purpose
of the survey is to measure the ef
fectiveness of the present school
system, and to see if there are bet
ter methods of dealing with the prob
lem, especially in the country
schools.
