THE RIGHT WAY
F. J. ROBINSON, General Passenger Agent, Savannah, Georgia.
YOU can’t depend on fuel and
lubrication that you “hope is
all right” in modern automobile
engines. Their higher speed de
velops terrific heat. Heat that
soon breaks down many motor
oils, leaving cylinder walls and
bearings exposed to grinding
friction.
To meet these new
demands Pan-
Am developed a
tougher motor oil
and a clean gaso
line.
The improved
Fan-Am motor oil
Pan e/foierican
‘Petroleum forporation
holds its body even under in
tense heat. Tougher, it adheres
to cylinder walls and bearings,
protecting them against grinding
friction effectively.
And the careful Pan-Am refining
process assures you of clean gas
oline. It not only removes clog-
ging dirt and corrosives but also
eliminates carbon-forming ele
ments found in many gasolines.
You also get smoother power—
more miles per gallon. It will
pay you to insist on this tougher
oil and clean gasoline. They are
sold under one name by reliable
dealers.

"PROFITABLE” COTTON PRICES
GEORGIA PLANTERS ONLY
HOPE
If Georgia ob the south is ever to
come back in values of land and pros
perity, it will only be when the cot
ton farmers will realize the “true
measure of their harvest” by profit
able prices for their cotton, Martin
Amorous, agricultural economist of!
the state department of agrieultqrej
said Saturday.
“To accomplish this,” he said, “it
is not necessary to have ‘higher’
prices for cotton. The ultimate con
sumers of the farmers’ cotton are
the mills, they pay today and have
been paying the year in and year out,
n ‘premium’ above the market prices
paid the farmers, of from sls to SBO
and SIOO per bale. Therefore, I as
sert that if the marketing system was
corrected, so that the farmer would
”et a fair division of the price paid
by the mills, they would all be solvent
farmers today.
“The cotton farmer is the only in
dustry that is limited and regulated
by the United States law in the pro
duction and marketing of his cot
ton. All the mills, in- Georgia, un
der this law and regulation, buy their
cotton at a price, including freight
to New York. No matter where the
farmer is located, his cotton is sold
under a ‘one-price system,’ delivered
to New York and he pays the freight
on every bale, less 6 per cent for
bagging and ties. I respectfully sub
mit these questions to all agricul
tural doctors and editors:
"Why not free the cotton farm
ers from government interferences?
Why not free the merchants of all
the cities of Georgia and permit them
to buy cotton, without taxing the
farmer with freight to New York,
when it is to.be used in a mill in At
lanta, Augusta, or Columbus?
“Under this law, Atlanta or no
other city in the entire south can be
a delivery point for cotton, except
by the consent of the members of the
New York cotton exchange.”
WHEN SPRING COMES
Spring" is an intangible something
which people have to be content with
“feeling.” They never see if —only
the manifestations of its handiwork
are visible. It creeps slowly upon
us. We know it’s time for spring, but
somehow we don’t believe it’s here
untl suddenly, one day we awake to
the realization that spring is actual
ly here—and it has entered without]
our knowing it.
Some folks think that spring rises
from the ground, or that it breaks
out from the tops of bushes and
trees, or it comes from a bird’s song,
or the creeping forth into the bright
sun of a tiny insect. They may in
a sense be right, but they don’t go
far enough.
No first spring moment arrives
[while we look down, or while we have
our eyes focused on some small ob-
ject. Spring comes from above. It
arrives at an early hour just when
■ the night falls back from the advanc
ing rays of the sun. It is high above,
jbeyond the trees and the towers—
land it calls the whole world to rise
and meet it, to look up.
There is just as much spring in
town as in the country, contrary to
. ihe common belief. At times there
| seems to be more. It is when the
1 mist that shakes it above the roofs
before the shingles are dry. It is as
definite as the morning call of the
bird for its mate and as full of pos- ,
sibilities for joy as the anticipation ■
that precedes Christmas.
J Spring comes with almost overpow
ering beauty as you see its handi
jwork along the river. Here, over the
water and up into the sky, the sun
light has full play and makes the
most of it. Faint are the far-off
| buildings, the flat roofs and the
domes and spires. From the surface
;of the water a bird rises gracefully,
'sweeps in an arch of glistening beau
ty and pierces the spring. It is lost
in the mist high up and beckons the
world to follow.
The steps leading into the house
are dark and ugly when the searching
rays of the benign sun have full
play. You feel that something ought
to be done about it. A twisted,
dead limb lies on the lawn. You
enter the house—it seems dark and
gloomy in comparison with the
glorious light of outdoors.
Then, one day, a person with a
forceful way appears, apologizes for
making a mess and with a ladder
and a bucket and an assortment of
clothes, sets to work. Tho winter’s
grime disappears as if by magic.
With a rush of freed gladness the
spring comes in.—Exchange.
UNFORTUNATELY
“Most men never think seriously
of acquiring a fortune until they’re
married.”
“Perhaps they only realize then 1
how badly they need one!”
MOON POOR WEATHER
GUIDE, WORKS 2 WAYS
Every four weeks we have anew
moon. Unless you are incredibly un
observing, writes Stuart McKenzie,
in the American Magazine, you
know that sometimes it hangs at one
angle and sometimes at another. Ac
cording to most amateur prophets
this angle is an important weather
sign.
If the crescent is in a position
where its hollow will “hold water”
they say a dry month and a fair one
will follow. But if the crescent is at
an angle which would spill water out
of its hollow it is a wet moon and
we are in for a rainy spell.
This is a poetic fancy, but it con
tains less truth than poetry. In fact,
it is all poetry and no truth, except
when mere chance coincidence oc
casionally makes it seem true.
Sometimes wc do have rainy
weather following one of these “wet
j moons,”’ and a fair month following
a “dry moon.” But just as often we
have exactly the reverse. There is
absolutely no connection between
the two. If you go on repeating this
1 old adage you may be a poet, but
] you are no weather prophet.
“The old moon in the new moon’s
arms” is another weather sign, which
i in the popular proverbs, acconimoda
ingly works both ways. Some people
assert that this phenomenon is a por
tent of foul weather. Others claim
that it promises fine weather.
In this case the sign actually does
work both ways, depending on why
the old moon is seen in the .new
moon’s arms. Sometimes it is visible
because the air is exceptionally free
from dust and water vapor; so cry
stal clear, so uniform in density and
temperature, that even the feeble
light rays from the “old moon”
reach us. Then, since these air con
ditions favor fair weather, we are
likely to have it.
1 But we may see the old moon in
the embrace of the new because
masses of clouds west of us are re
flecting an unusual amount of light
from the earth to the moon. In that
case the foyl weather predicition is
likely to come true, for these western
clouds are headed our way.
However, the phenomenon is prob
ably due more to great clearness of
the air rather than to reflected light.
And whatever slight value it has as
a sign is cheifly on the fair weath
er side.
CLIPPINGS FROM DAHLONEGA
NUGGETT
We heard of one poor widow in
Lumpkin picking blackberries at
twenty-five cents a gallon, and paid
her husband’s doctor bill. This
shows honesty and industry, and
makes a doctor feel good.
We know of one farmer who had
to borrow a dog to keep the red
foxes from eating up his chickens.
They are much worse than the gray
ones, because they catch chickens
during the day, and can run faster
and longer.

| While Shotgun Walker was in
from the mountains last week, he
invited us up to see his pets, includ
ing some king snakes he keeps to
help his cat3 catch rats. They are
trained so when a rat runs into a
hole from a cat one of his snakes
goes in after it.
■ Years ago boys were not weaned
.by their mothers until they had
teeth and began biting. Now they
are nursed by a bottle, and when
they drop the milk bottle, soon there
after want an auto. And a little la
ter many of them take up the bot
tle again, with something in it much
stronger than milk.
THE HILLS ARE CALLING YOU
I
Don’t you hear “The Hills” a-calling,
calling you?
Can’t you feel their charm a-falling
over you?
“Come”, they say, “To Nature’s rest;
lay your head upon my breast—
There is balm and joy and comfort
here for you.”
Don’t you hear “The Hills” a-sighing
j now for you?
Can’t you hear their winds a-crying
out to you?
“Come where cool pine breezes blow;
where the spruce and cedar grow—
We will set your cheeks aglow with
health for you.”
Don’t you hear “The Hills” a-purring
soft to you?
Balmy breezes now are stirring mild
for you;
“Come,” they call, “To God’s play
ground, where real rest and peace
are found—
We will place you on a common
ground will all that’s true.”
