Things We Should Know
An interesting article appeared
in the current issue of “Friendly
Adventure” magazine, written by
Wilfred Peterson, well known writer
of special and feature articles. The
following contains some splendid
suggestions on things that everyone
should know:
“Sooner or later, a man if he is
wise, discovers that business life is
a mixture of good days and bad,
▼ictory and defeat, give and take.
“He learns that it doesn’t pay to
be a sensitive soul—that he should
let some things go over his head
like water off a duck’s back.
“He learns that he who loses his
tempter usually loses.
“He learns that all men have
burnt toast for breakfast now and
then and that he shouldn’t take the
other fellow’s grouch too seriously.
“He learns that carrying a chip
on his shoulder is the easiest way to
get into a fight.
4 *He learns that the quickest way
to become unpopular is to carry
tales and gossip about others.
“He learns that it doesn’t matter
so much who gets the credit so long
as the business shows a profit.
“He learns that buck passing al
ways turns out to be a boomerang
and that it never pays.
“He comes to realize that the
business could run along perfectly
well without him.
"He learns that even the janitor
is human and that it doesn’t do any
tharm to smile and say, “Good Morn
ing” even if it is raining.
“He learns that most of the other
felloes are as ambitious as he is,
that they have brains that are as
good or better and that hard work
and cleverness is the secret of suc
cess.
“He learns to sympathize with the
youngster coming into the business,
because he remembers how bewild
ered he was when he first started
out.
“He learns that the gang is not
any harder to get along with in one
place than another and that “get
ting along”, after all, depends about
98 per cent on his own behavior.”
Reducing State Debts
In summing up the indebtedness
of several of the states, Frederic J.
Haskins, noted statistician, has given
out the following information:
“Florida owes $391,000, so small
that many a town has a larger in
debtedness. m And Nebraska owes
$929,000, and Connecticut just
SIOB,OOO.
“The reason Florida owes so little
is that back in the earlier days some
thrifty “father” of his state wrote
into its charter the stipulation that
the commonwealth could borrow
money 4 only for the purpose of re
pelling invaders or putting down in
surrection. It has no income tax to
support a large debt.
“It is said that between the years
1912 and 1932, the debts of the
states increased nearly six hundred
per cent. Even this, this indebted
ness is not large when compared to
those of cities and counties, but its
rate of increase is what is causing
alarm. City and town debts have
increased a little over two hundred
per cent, we are informed. If the
mounting obligations of states con
tinue at the present pace, they will
in the end be greater than those of
cities and counties.
“With the different states, how
ever, the situation varies. The lat
est official figure on New York state’s
debt (1932) was $4<53„068,000,
nearly half a billion dollars. So
large, however, is New York’s popu
lation that the indebtedness is one
of the lightest per capita.
“In ten years, Arkansas has in
creased iU debt six thousand per
cent, and Kansas twenty-eight thou
sand per cent. However, in the be
ginning Kansas owed so little that it
now owes only about twenty-two
million dollars.
4 ‘But Nebraska, from 1922 to
1932, decreased her state debt ten
per cent, and it now is less than one
million dollars. It was. one of the
fourteen commonwealths that has
cut their financial obligations. Con
necticut decreased its debt almost a
hundred per cent.
“The highest figure per capita of
state indebtedness is that of Arkan
sas, which is $86.07. The lowest
two are Wisconsin, home of the cru
sading LaFollettes, where it is 44
cents, and Connecticut, noted for its
thrift, where the figure is 43 cents."
The suggestion made by the At
lanta Georgian that Georgia be di
vided into five counties, is not
meeting with approval by the week
ly press of the state.
HOME ECONOMIST OF
GEORGIA POWER COMPANY
TO WORK IN THIS SECTION
K ft
MISS HELEN WALTERS
Miss Helen Walter*, home econom
ist, has been assigned permanently
to Jefferson and nearby communi*
tics for her personal work in the ex
panded activities of the Home Ser
vice Division of the Georgia Power
Company, according to announce
ment just made by officials of that
organization.
Personal assistance to all :ustom
ers of the power company in secur
ing the most advantageous and eco
nomical use of electric appliances in
their homes, information about elec
tric service in general, handling of
complaints, and counsel on any pro
blem of home management on which
they may be questioned are among
the announced duties of the college
trained young women who make up
the personnel of this department of
the power company.
Miss Walters, a native of Augusta,
received her preliminary education
in the public schools of Augusta,
and was graduated from the Uni
versity of Georgia in 1929 with the
degree of bachelor of science in
home economics. Prior to her con
nection with the power company,
she was a teacher of home econom
ics..
This week, the home service di
vision of the company goes into the
field with its personnel more than
doubled numerically. Public de
mand for the personal service offer
ed by this department has resulted
in a steady growth in the home ser
vice division since it was established
on a small scale several years ago.
Last fall the staff was doubled, and
it was again doubled on June 1,
with the addition of other graduates
of Georgia and southern colleges,
with special training in home eco
nomics. With a total of 55 young
women in this work, the Georgia
Power Company has the largest staff
of home service representatives of
any electric company in the United
States, regardless of size.
In explaining the expansion, Miss
Fern Snider, home service director
of the company, recently said:
“We feel that every customer orv
our lines—whether located in a com
paratively small community or on a
farm—is entitled to .the same per
sonal service in every degree that is
available to the customers in the
largest cities. It is obvious that wo
men, for instance, in homes far re
moved from a company office, can
not make long trips to obtain this
service. Our purpose is to take our
service to them. Of course, there is
no charge for this service. Liberal
use of it will put no customer under
the slightest obligation to us. We
hope our customers will call on us
for any assistance we can give.
“This service is by no means re
stricted to those customers who have
purchased appliances from the Geor
gia Power Company, buff is available
to every user of electric service, re
gardless of when or from whom the
appliances may have been bought.”

Rev. Luke G. Johnson
Writes About Clover
“I have been much Interested in
the discussion of crimson clover,"
Rev. Luke G. Johnson writes in the
Baner-Herald, "and _ can’t rest the
impulse to give some history of and
personal experience with it.
"My father, Col. Luke G. Johnson
of Cherbkee Corner community in
troduced crimson clover into Geor
gia, if not indeed into the U. 8. In
the 60’s, he stepped into the office
of the Southern Cultivator, then
published by Dr. Jones, to pay his
subscription. Dr. Jones handed him
an agricultural publication, publish
ed in France, containing an article
on the said clover. Father being a
French scholar, read the description
of the clover, and had Dr. Jones to
order a supply of seed for him from
France. I was with my father at
the time and recall the circumstance
vividly.
“In September of that year he
sowed a small patch in front of the
home across the road. People from
all over Oglethorpe county came to
look at it. To make a long story
short he gave two friends some seed,
Mr. Jack Collier and “Dick Har
grove.” The first name of this
beautiful clover was “French Clov-
er." From time to time as its cul
tivation extended up to the present
day it was known as Animal Clover,”
"French Clover,” and last of all,
“Crimson Clover.” My shoulders ache
today, as I recall the hamper baskets
full, which fell to my lot to cut and
carry to the milch cows, as long as
it was green.
“When I was pastor of. First
Church, Dalton, I enriched with it my
garden that was formerly a brick
yard, “pipe clay,” and too poor to
sprout peas.” By the time I left
Dalton—four years, it grew corn
equal to the richest bottom land. I
tried to raise a garden on the barren
soil in the spring anß summer of
my first year but it was a failure. I
sowed crimson clover in September
of that year and the remaining three
years. My Frank Hardwick, banker,
used to stop en route to his bank and
look at it, and in his humorous way
would always say, “The Lord spoiled
a mighty farmer to make a sorry
preacher out of you.”
Here is my experience with it at
Dalton. First, I sowed the seed as
early in September as the moisture
favored, raking in the soil with a
garden rake. Second, by December,
I grazed my pony and milch cow
each morning a short while and kept
this up until usually in March it was
tall enough to mow and feed green.
Third, I kept this up until the blooms
were ripe, then cut it for hay, and
plowed it in. The root is equal to
red clover in nodules contained ni
trogen, and together with the stalk
decomposes so rapidly as to ferti
lize the corn and garden wonder
fully.
“My father sowed it with wheat
and once let grow to ripe seed top
and plowed in the soil. The land is
seeded for years afterward, this
clover coming up with the grain. Of
course, good soil grows it and every
other crop, better. But it will en
rich any soil rapidly if allowed to
grow to seed. I must warn against
feeding the second crop to horses,
because it salavates them. But cows
and hogs never.”
USE GOOD SUGAR
FOR GOOD JAMS
AND JELLIES
Buying in Cotton Bags Assures
Purity and Full Weight
In buying their sugar for canning
and preserving tills Summer, South
ern women should be particular to
buy It In the 25, 10 or 5-pound cot
ton bags in which it is packed at the
refinery.
There are many good reasons for
this, the first being that she knows
exactly what brand of sugar she is
getting, and can tell whether or not
it Is sugar that has been refined in
this country under the strict United
States sanitary conditions, by Amer
ican labor, under the NRA code —or
whether it is foreign refined sugar.
The cotton beg also keeps the sugar
in the same pure, clean state in
which it left the refinery.
In addition, when she buys sugar
in a cotton bag, she is stimulating
the consumption of cotton —the crop
upon which the prosperity of the
agricultdral South largely depends.
The Savannah Sugar Refinery at
Savannah. Ga., treflners of Dixie
Crystals Sugar.) alone uses 10.000,000
yards of cotton cloth a year in pack
ing their sugars.
Pqt up plenty of. fruits this sum
mer for use this winter. The price of
canned goods, fellies. etc., has gone
up materially In recent months, and
it Is predicted that their price will
go even higher. The more you can
this summer, the more you will save
on your food bill next winter.

“GO ON UP”
Thirty years ago, in a poor school
house in a back district, a boy at the
foot of the class unexpectedly spell
ed a word that had passed down the
entire class.
“Go up head,” . said the master,
“and see that you stay there. You
can if you work hard.”
The boy hung his head. But the
next day he did npt miss a word in
spelling. The brighter scholars knew
every word in the lesson, hoping
there might be a ‘chance to get a
head. But there was not a single
one. Dave stayed at the head. He
had been an indifferent speller be
fore, but now he knew every word.
“Dave, how do you get your les
sons so well now?” asked the master
one morning as Dave came in early.
“I learn every word in the lesson,
and get my mother to hear me at
night; then I go over them in the
morning before I come to school.
And I go over them at my seat be
fore the class is called up.”
“Good boy, Dave,” said the mas
ter. “That’s the way to have sue
cess; always work that way, and
you’ll do.”
Dave is today the manager of a
big lumber company, and he attri
butes his start to the words:
“Go up head, and see that you
stay. You can if you work hard.”
