What To Do With Your
Sundays
A study of the* live** of big mi'll
shows that practically all have learn
ed to relax completely one day in
seven. The heat form of relaxation
Is often an individual matter, but
there are some general rules that
way be applied with profit by any
one desirous of making bis life
count for most.
Edward Earl Puriton, a psycholo
gist of some note, gives some valu
able suggestions, in a recent publi
cation, for Sunday relaxation. His
ideus are summed up in the follow
ing interesting program:
Pat away all your work on Sun
day. Forget it as early as 6 o’clock
Saturday evening. The height of
efficiency on Sunday is to be as in
efficient as possible. Sleep late.
Don’t look at the clock, except to go
to church by. Move slowly all day,
as if you had a thuosand years to
get nowhere in. Erase every
thought of schedule from your mind.
Be as unlike your working self as
possible. Go for a long walk in tin*
country, or do something else that
keeps you outdoors several hours.
Sunday is the time to dwell not in
the house but on the horizon.
Apart from the religious obser
vance of the day, experiments on a
large scale with mental workers have
shown that one day in seven must be
devoted to relaxation —not one *1*1)
in six or one day in eight, but one
day in seven. Where this law of
biology as well as theology is brok
en for any length of time, the bodies
of the workers are also broken.
The majority of men who have gone
to pieces in middle life have been
those who have worked on Sunday.
Whoever breaks the natural law of
the seventh day rest loses not only
character, but also health and time
in the end.
Statistics prove that the six-day
worker dbes more in a week than
the seven-day worker. The con
templation of heavenly things as
sists the creation of earthly things.
The habit of going to church does
as much for the body and brain as
the soul. The best form of relax
ation is religion. “1 he stones can
not bruise you when your spirit
dwells among the stars.”
The way to handle an emergency
is to live high enough in your con
sciousness to see all around it. A
bold decision rests on a broad vision,
and a broad vision grows from the
right use of Sunday. Good work
requires moral balance gained by
intervals of meditation, with all
work forgotten and only character
in mind. The art of being is fun
damental to the science of doing.—

USE THE SWATTER
The time is at hand when the fly
swatter is in demand, when it is em
ployed by every person who realizes
just what a deadly enemy of hu
manity this insect is. But more ef
fective than the swatter, for it kills
only out* fly at> a time, are methods
of prevention. And with ilies, as
with all other evils, prevention is
always better than a cure.
There is nothing new about flies.
But there is information that may
be new to vast numbers of persons.
Perhaps if more persons knew about
flies they would be aroused against
them sufficiently to check their pow
er for evil. Science has established
that a single fly can carry 6,000,000
disease germs, that SO distinct dis
eases are traceable to the fly, that
two flies can produce in one sum
mer a family numbering 6,600,000,-
000,000, anew generation coming
into existence every two weeks, that
the total damage to human being re
sulting from flies runs to scores of
millions of dollars in this country
every year.
Flies originate in filth, grow m
it, feed on it and carry it into homes
■where they deposit it together with
disease germs on everything they
touch. They touch principally
food consumed by human beings.
Among diseases carried by flies are
typhoid, tuberculosis, diarrhea,
cholera, summer complaint and in
fantile paralysis.
NE£D OF NEWSPAPERS
The city without a newspaper
would be a paralyzed city, hesitat
ing in its trade, given to rumors,
and uncertain in its social and re
ligious life. The community with
out a newspaper would be a com
munity in darkness. It would be a
community easily stampeded. In
■such a community “They Say'' would
have many disciples and the apost
les of “I Am Told” would create
many monstrosities. —Jack Williams,
President, Georgia Press Association.
RED CROSS PLANTS 1,100
GARDENS IN ONE COUNTY
Eleven hundred Red Cross gard
ens, including eighteen different
varieties of vegetables, are being
grown in Gordon County, announc
ed Stone J. Crane, Red Cross field
representative. This is an illustra
tion of what is being done in a
large number of counties in Georgia
this year. Last season these gard
ens were followed by a co-operative
program with the Red Cross and
State College of Agriculture. Thou
sands of cans and jars were canned
in this program.
Red Crosss relief programs have
beeen set up in practically every
county in the state. In telling of
this relief pr '—:rn, Mr. Crane said:
“As an illustration of what is be
ing done in the rural counties as
well as in some of the cities, the
Gedartnwn chapter’s program will
he given. Under the supervision of
the Red Cross executive secretary,
F. P. Simerville, a truck farming
project is being supported by this
project.
"Early in the spring, the chapter
secured the lease for five years on
swamp lands near the city. The un
emnloyed needy families were put
to work in reclaiming the lands.
The results are that there has been
literally cleared a large number of
acres, with well drained outlets, all
stumps removed by hand labor and
now the finest fields of truck patch
es can be seen. The truck fields
contain many kind of vegetables in
cluding tomatoes, corn, beans, and
peas. The labor has been taken
care of by food supplied from Red
Cross store room.
"During the growing season the
needy families will be supplied from
the fields, and Mr. Simerville plans
to put in a canning plant to con
serve the excess vegetables.
“Many other chapters are work
ing out such programs as that at
Cedartown. Over 50,000 barrels of
Red Cross flour had been shipped
to Georgia users up to May 15. A
Red Cross flour distribution com
mittee has been set up in every
county in the state.”
LAST SECTION PAVED
ON ATLANTA N. Y. ROAD
Toccoa, Ga.—Paving on the in
tervening 3.089 miles of the At
lanta-New York highway was com
pleted here Tuesday. In 10 days
all traffic will be routed over this
new highway, leaving no unpaved
barrier between Atlanta and New
York.
This road has been constructed
with care and is perhaps the most
modern in the state. At many
places on this stretch there are guard
rails which serve as guides for
traffic, and as a warning of danger
points. These guard rails are high
ly visible and sufficiently strong to
withstand reasonable impacts. The
road is so built that vehicles may
speed over it without danger.
One of the most beautiful drives
in the south is in Stephens county,
and perhaps the most beautiful part
of this is the short distance east of
Toccoa where large numbers of cars
and the deep, green Tugalo river
flow alongside one another. On this
drive one travels on a smooth, wide
road overshadowed by tall green
trees on the mountainside. In
the distance is the outline of big,
blue mountains. In the fertile Tu
galo valley near-by one sees great
fields abounding with corn and cot
ton.
750,0000 PEACH TREES
DESTROYED IN WEEK
Athens, Ga.—More than 750,000
wild peach trees were destroyed in
one week by vocational agriculture
students in 35 high schools in the
Georgia peach belt who participated
in a community orcahrd sanitation
contest during peach-blooming time,
according to L. M. Sheffer, super
visor of agricultural education in
Georgia, whose office has completed
tabulation of the figures and scores.
The purpose of the contest, spon
sored jointly by the Georgia state
board for vocational education, and
the entomology departments of both
the state and federal governments,
was to teach boys of the 1' uture
Farmers of America organization
how to co-operatively deal with
practical community farm problems,
and at the same time help in the
fight to control the phoney and oth
er peach diseases. It is said that
these wild trees act as hosts for
both diseases and insects. |
The Baldwin (Ga.) High school
was awarded first place and SSO for
destroying a total of 320,133 trees,
and George Taylor, of that school,
was the highest individual in the
state with 43,607 trees to his credit.
Taylor was given a $5 prize.
f PRACTICAL COMMUNITY
SERVICE
The Commissioners of Jenkins
county have given a community
service that should be a great value
to the citizens in giving them an
opportunity to lay something by in
the day of plenty for the long period
of winter when there may be a
scarcity of food. These officials
have established at Millen, under
the direction of R. E. Hughes, the
county agent, a community canning
plant which is expected to serve
those with fruits and vegetables
which they wish to preserve for
future consumption. The canning
plant is on county property and it
is to be operated at cost to those
who take advantage of its activities.
M;-. Hughes has had active ex
perience in the operation of such a
plant. In Haralson county, where
he was located last year, he ran
one similar to the type he is install
ing at Millen, and in his home coun
ty he grew up seeing the successful
operation of a canning plant.
Mr. Hughes is working out the
details of the expense of operation
where everybody can use the ma
terials. If persons bring their vege
tables and fruits ready prepared, do
their own work without help, there
will be no expense except the cans.
If they have the vegetables and
need help, a small fee is added. If
they prefer, a toll of the supplies
canned will be accepted instead of
money and in turn, these toll cans
will be disposed of. The county
convict camp, where fifty to sixty
men are kept, w{ll be a market for
some of the vegetables put out in
this manner. Convict labor is be
ing used to get the plant in readi
ness and convict labor will be em
ployed in operation. The camp
superintendent expects to can a
large amount of provisions from the
county garden for winter use.—

THE PANIC OF 3068 B. C.
(From Atlanta Georgian)
Every generation thinks its prob
lems are the hardest of all. So it is
interesting to road from the columns
of an Egyptian “newspaper,” pul> (
fished on papyrus in the city of
Memphis 5,000 years ago, the fol
lowing.
“A few* lawless men are depriv
ing the land of sovereignty. The
laws are cast out and men walk up
on them in public. The lawbreak
er is lord of wealth; the rich man
has lost all.
“Scanty is gold,; craftsmen are
without work; the reaper of the har
vest gets nothing, while he who
plowed not profits. The land is de
pleted. There are more rulers than
ever. I show thee a land turned up
side down.”
This tearful account of gang rule
and business slump in the land of
Pharaohs, if slightly altered in
wording, might be taken from any
American paper that “views with
alarm” today. History also shows
that this calamitous period was fol
lowed by one of unexampled pros
perity.
Americans who think that the
bottom is out of the universe might
well reflect on the panic of 3068 B.
C.
WHISTLE AND HOE
There’s a boy just over the garden
fence,
Who is whistling all through the
live long day;
And his work is not just a mere
pretense,
For vou see the weeds he has cut
away.
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you go,
Shorten the row
By the songs you know.
Not a word of bemoaning his task
I hear;
He has scarcely time for a growl,
I know;
For his whistle sounds so merry
and clear,
He must find some pleasure in
every row.
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you go,
Shorten the row
By the songs you know.
But then, while you whistle, be
sure you hoe;
For if you are idle the briars will
spread;
And whistling alone to the end of
the row
May do for the weeds, but is bad
for the bread.
Whistle and hoe,
Sing as you go,
Shorten the row
By the songs you know.
