■ N KKKI* THINGS FI'RE
SHOULD you chance to be
awake between four and five
o’clock one of these spring
mornings and take a peep out of
your window, you may happen
upon an interesting sight. In the
dim light of dawn you will prob
ably see making its way slowly
down your street, either a motor
wagon or a horse-drawn vehicle
which is the center of much in
teresting activity.
If the wagon is horse-drawn its
propelling power acts without
human direction. From a distance
you will observe the horse linger
before one house and then plug
sturdily past two or three others.
Sometimes he varies the mo
notony by resting a hoof on the
curb and peering expectantly up
and down the street in the vain
hope that some early rising pas
ser-by may be induced by this
manoeuver to give his cool nose
the rubbing he would so obviously
like.
A Busy Man
Whether the wagon is horse
or motor-drawn, its driver is a
busy man—back and forth he
darts bearing his burden of shin
ing bottles into doorways and
areaways, flashing his electric
torch on house numbers and il
luminating with its revealing
glow dark passages and treacher
ous staircases lest he stumble
with his precious load. This is
the morning milk delivered to
your door, pure and fresh for the
family’s use. -
Probably, Mrs. Housewife, as
you look at the gleaming bottles
on your kitchen table, you picture
the milk traveling the fifty to
one hundred miles from the dairy
to your home in its present glass
container. If you do, you are
much mistaken, for the receptacle
in which the milk was whisked
through the night was not of glass
but of tin —yes tin, just like the
tin in which were packed the deli
cious peas which you had for din
ner last evening, the shrimp
which you have purchased for
luncheon today and the slices cf
golden apricots which will orna
ment the birthday cake for An
nette’s party this afternoon.
Tin Does the Trick
If one had <to decide what in
dividual agency had most to do
with preserving the purity of the
milk which is the chief nutriment
of sturdy little children and so
important an article of adult diet,
the conclusion would inevitable
be —tin.
Beginning with the sanitary
barns in which the co~vs are kept
—tin or galvanized iron ventila
tors admit the current of fresh
purifying air upon which the
Board of Health is so insistent.
In preparation for milking in
the best dairies, the cows are
cleaned and brushed. Then enter
the milkers in their white uni
forms and the milk is drawn into
pails of block tin and transferred
to tin containers to cool. These
containers, the pails and the
strainers as well are scrupulously
cleaned and sterilized each time
they are used.
The great ten-gallon containers
are next taken by trucks and put
on the trains. If the distance to
go is short the tins, packed in ice,
travel by freight, if long, refrig
erator cars used. Instead of
tin containers, insulated tanks of
steel, copper or tinned copper,
glass-lined, are sometimes em
ployed.
In the City
In the city the milk is poured
into large tanks and pumped to
the top floor of the plant, or con
veyed there in the original con
tainers. It is run through the
clarifier which removes all vis
ible dirt, pasteurized, and run into
a cooler. When cold, it is trans
ferred to the filling machine and
then into the bottles which are
delivered at your door.
The safe and sanitary cleanli
ness of tin is emphasized by the
following quotation from “The
Principles and Practice of Milk
Hygiene,” by Louis A. Klein —
“All surfaces with which the milk
comes in contact should be cov
ered with tin.”
In caring for the tin receptacles
the same method as that adopted
by the great canneries is observed
—rinsing with cold water, then
washing with soapy water, then
rinsing and sterilization by live
steam. In this way the milk ar
rives at its destination as pure
and uncontaminated as do the
delicious peaches of California, or
the luscious slices of ripe Hawai
ian pineapple that travel countless
miles over sea and land safe from
all the elements of deterioration
in their sealed containers of hy
gienic tin.*
Back To The Farm
W. H. Faust
Critics are abroad in the land
with a vast number of suggestions
concerning an immediate solution to
our present unemployment condi
tions. Whatever one believes, it
still remains true that we are in the
midst ,of perilous times. It is cer
tainly a fact that depression has hit
America and the world a Titanic
blow between the eyes.
The student of history who in
terprets the future in the light of
the past, can not fail to realize that
in the future people must get some
how their feet back on the soil.
Country people generally have
enough to eat. They have water to
drink, and fire wood and home
grown products, minus the many
difficulties faced by citizens in the
crowded centers. Rome, and Baby
lon, and Greece, and Egypt, and
Persia, and other nations have risen
to heights and fallen because their
people poured into cosmopolitan
centers and rotted and festered and
ruined.
Stroll around and see what is tak
ing place in our cities. Machinery
doing the work of throngs of men.
Jobless on every street. Unemploy
ment growing steadily.
W at is the remedy? One dares
to turn prophet at times and suggest
what can take place, and what will
take place. Certainly our problems
would be solved tomorrow if we
would determine to come at once
to a five day week with a six hour
day. Now people will throw fits
when such a suggestion is made,
just as they did when the eight hour
day was suggested and adopted.
But the only other alternative is
for the multitudes who have left the
farms, go back to the soil where
they can make a living, even though
it is by hard work and grinding toil.
A prominent citizen stated a while
ago when this matter was being
pushed in a meeting, “But the aver
age person doesn’t want to go back
to the farm, for a number of rea
sons, among them being the hard,
grinding toil, the inability to finance
themselves, even were they to go
back, and the disinclination to work
as hard as is demanded.”
Irritations indescribable attend
life in the crowded centers. Prob
lems that the inhabitant of the open
country ■ never faces. Temptations
and hardships that pale into abso
lute insignificance, compared with
the living in tin country. ' Our
neighbors know us, and usually are
kind-hearted enough to try and help.
Whereas, in the city there are so
many calls that those inclined to -fe
spond often get hardened to the
continual appeals.
Children growing up are exposed
to untold hardships and temptations.
Taxes are high. Cost of living is
high. Need is faced on every hand.
The citizen who lives under his own
vine and fig tree is ever ahead of the
one who lives under the eves of a
rented house, and lives in mortal
fear of losing his job. The stress and
strain is sore in cities. country
offers large opportunities for labor.
And those who have and are trying
it out in the crowded slums, know
wh*t hardness and trouble is. Ti
tanic temptations that ordinary un
regenerated human beings can not
withstand face crowded sections.
One glance in upon conditions in
the cities and the rural sections to
day will convince one that a civiliz
ation like ours can not always
stand such crowded ''ondiftons as
are on in many places now.
And besides, we need the sort of
fiber that growing on the soil gives,
and our nation, if it continues,
must have this strength that cometh
alone from the great open spaces,
where we have time to meditate and
reflect and think.
KEEP A-GOIN’
If you strike a thorn or rose,
Keep a-goin’!
If it hails or if it snows,
Keep a-goin’!
’Tain’t no use to sit an’ whne
When the fish an’t on your line;
Bait your hook an’ keep a-try>n
Keep a-goin’!
When the weather kill? your crop,
Keep a-goin’!
Though ’ts work to reach the top,
Keep a-goin’!
S’pose you’re out o’ ev’ry dime,
Gittin’ broke ain’t every crime,
Tell the world you’re feelin’ prime—
Keep a-goin’!
When it looks like all is up,
Keep a-goin’!
Drain the sweetness from the cup,
Keep a-goin’!
See the wild birds on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel like singin’ sing—
Frank L. Stanton.
Ford Sets Fine Example
Henry Ford started a garden
campaign early in the spring at
Dearborn, and called on all Ford
employes to become gardeners. In
one of a series of “good-will” adver
tisements he stressed the desirabili
ty of gardens for workers.
In Atlanta, 180 workers at the
Ford assembly plant have garden
plots, following the admonition of
Mr. Ford, their chief, that every
man should possess a piece of land
and till it. The plots are staked
off 40x70 for each worker.
After work hours, and on Satur
days, which is a full day’s holiday
at the Ford plant, and those days
when there is no work on the as
sembly line, the workers can be seen
digging in the ground. On Sundays
they stand around and watch the
vegetables grow. Amateur garden
ers from other sections are interest
ed spectators of the Ford 'oper
ations.
The company has sent to its
agents and employes a folder con
taining Mr. Ford’s ideas. This ex
tract is specially applicable:
“An attractively garden
is second to no other family inter
est. This year the garden has first
place, for here is not only plenty of
fresh garden truck for the summer
table, but also a supply for the
winter. Even from a small garden
a housewife may get many vegeta
bles for canning. In the old days,
home canned foods were just as
much of a delicacy as those freshly
grown, and helped to complete the
bill of fare when something was
needed.
“There is no suggestion to replace
farm produce, or enter into compe
tition with the farmer. In most
cases, the farmer grows his own
table vegetables and 'sells what is
left over; he derives his living from
his main crops or lines of agricul
ture that he has chosen.
“The factory worker is not able
to buy all of the i -esh vegetables
and fruit that his family needs, be
cause he has so many other items to
consider. His spare time garden
adds to the amount of fresh truck
that he would purchase normally.
No farmer would lift a hand to pre
vent an industrial worker from
growing his own fresh garden truck,
if told that in many cases the work
er and family would have to do
without unless able to supply it in
this way.
“The busy man is the contented
man when he is producing some
thing of use to himself or the world.
Here is work for all.”
A WOMAN’S JOB
Why cooking is considered menial
work by the majority of women is
a problem which they alone under
stand. Of all the so-called careers
in the world there is none wtych
carries with it the stableness, refine
ment and opportunities as does the
position woman may occupy within
her home.
The very foundation of a home
rests on the attitude of her who can
either make the four walls a pleas
ant place in which to dwell or just
somewhere to stay. And in the
kitchen lies the solution, in a large
measure, *of a happy home.
Thrice blessed is the man whose
wife takes a real pleasure in pre
paring the family meals, for if she
assumes the proper attitude toward
this all-important phase of living the
chances are that pleasurable condi
tions will prevail. Unfortunately, a
large number of women leave the
preparation of meals to servants of
whose living conditions they know
nothing, and sickness and disease
are brought into the home often
times in this manner.
To the woman who employs at
least a part of her time in prepar
ing proper nourishment for her
family comes the satisfaction of
knowing that her calling is indeed
a high one, and surely one not to be
dtespised.—Dawson News.
melons sidetracked,
NO OFFERS BY BUYERS
Thoma&ville, Ga., June 30..—Lus
cious Georgia watermelons were re
ported a’begging in Thomas
county Wednesday. A. H. Baker, of
the Fredonia district, stated that he
had three carloads on a railrqad sid
ing that averaged 32 pounds per
melon and was unable to get an
offer. Other growers had similar
reports to make.
The explanaton is made that the
entire south Georgia region had ap
parently loaded melons at about
the same time with the idea of get
ting the fruit to the big market
centers for the Fourth of July and
that the loadings had been so heavy
as to threaten gluts in all of the
markets.

CONSIDER THE HAMMER
A friend and I met the other day.
Pasted in the back of a little note
book was this little sermonette on
the hammer:
'‘Keeps it head.
It doesn’t fly off the handle.
It keeps pounding away. .
It finds the point, then drives it
home.
It looks at the other side, too; and
thus often clinches the matter.
It makes mistakes, bn* when it
does, it starts all over.
It is the only knocker in the
world that does any good.
If you are inclined to lose you?
head, and fly off the handle —con-
sider the hammer.”
