THE COMMUTER’S PARADISE
(By H. I. Phillip*)
You ask me if 1 love you much, my
dear—
You wonder if the old affection
diners ?
If not would I come home these
April nights
A-toting all these shrubs and gar
den things?
You wonder if my ardor hasn’t cool
ed
And if you're not a habit now,
mayhap?
Oh, if 'twere true would I come
home each eve
With all these plants and bushes
in my lap?
“Have wife and home become a com
mon-place?”
You ask in tones that sometimes
seem to break;
If so, would I fight fiercely through
those trains
With spade, a hose, those hedge
shears and a rake?
“Oh, do you love me still?” I hear
you croon;
My darling, were it otherwise
would I
Endure these spring homecomings
perilous
With hoe handles and weeders in
my eye?
Am I fed up with this domestic life?
You want to know. Now, listen
well, my sweet;
If so would I sit hours in a coast
And with these garden gadgets
share'my seat?
Am 1 devoted as of old? you ask,
Complaining there is coolness in
my hugs;
Devoted? Say, tonight Pm lugging
home
Three bags of stuff for killing
garden bugs!
Am 1 a loving, true, contented
spouse?
Is this the truth for which you
pine and yearn?
Say, here’s your garden order for to
morrow, kid —
A sundial, two stone bird baths
and an urn!
I love you, darling, and you have the
proof;
You’ve not been relegated to the
shelf,
But lissen ... if your rock garden
requires
More rocks, YOU GO AND GATH
ER ’EM YOURSELF!
CITIZENS OF UNITED STATES
OWE ENORMOUS SUMS
Personal debts of families in the
United States total $15,000,000.
Out of every SIOO received in
wages and salaries by Americans
$25 is paid in charges on borrowed
money.
Overdue rents, taxes and insur
ance premiums total $3,000,000,000.
In 1932 45 per cent of all retail
gales were made on credit.
Every year 14,000,000 persons
borrow money for some purpose.
Mortgages and other debts on
homes total $10,000,000,000.
Personal and household debts in
creased 400 per cent since 1913.
Loans made by pawnbrokers total
half a billion dollars annually.
These are some startling facts
which are receiving the attention of
economists interested in various
factors involved in recovering from
the depression. They partly explain,
also, why the federal government is
making millions of dollars in loans
to citizens to save their homes from
mortgage foreclosures and to pre
sene their farms from tax sales.
The burdens of personal debts,
economists insist, is so great that un
less something is done about it com
plete recovery is almost impossible.
PRESS COES A GOOD JOB
We have left here one of the few
remaining democracies of the world.
With all due respect to radio and
wht it may or may not do, this de
mocracy, which is on trial before
the whole world today, like it or not,
is predicated on the existence of a
free functioning fourth estate.
I would be the last man to at
tempt to defend American journal
ism en masse. There are certain
publishers with certain ideas that
are certainly far different from
mine. But, taken by and large, and
with all of its many shortcomings
and many failings, American journ
alism has served this democracy very
well.—Roy W. Howard.
TAKE A SEAT IN THE JURY
BOX. LADY I
Last week the Time* carried an
editorial regarding the campaign
launched by the Women voters of
Georgia for the privilege of serving
on juries. The editorial was con
cluded with, “However, we are just
wondering whht the father of a half
dozen children would have to say if
he arrived home, tired from a hard
day’s work, and found a message
from a court, bailiff stating his dear
wife had been caught on a murder
case and would probably not be
home for three or four days.”
One member of the fair sex took
exception to the editorial and voiced
her opinion as follows:
“I don’t see why women shouldn’t
have as much right to sit on juries
as men. They are equally as capable
and because of their sympathetic na
tures would administer justice more
equitably than men. Furthermore I
fail to see why it is more of an im
position for a wife to leave her hus
band and family while she sits on a*
jury as it is for a husband to leave
his wife and children at home night
after night to chew the fat on drug
store comers with his cronies.”
As we plainly stated in our edi
torial, madam, you have our full
permission to occupy a seat in the
jury box —and furthermore we
wouldn’t blame you one bit if you
put a stop to your husband s fht
chewing on corners after dark. Your
husband’s place is at home with you
and the children —but don’t let him
know we put this idea in your head.
—Blackshear Times.
Georgia’s peach crop will be 16
per cent larger this year than it was
in 1933, according to the June crop
report of the Georgia Crop Report

Jackson county peach growers will
gather and sell profitably an abund
ant crop.

HUNTING IN THE DARK
Suppose a man went hunting for
something in the dark and he carried
a powerful flash light with hini but
didn’t bother to turn it on. What
would you think him? You'd say
he was natty, wouldn’t you? * .
There are some boys and girls jli<rc
as foolish as that man, although they
may think they are smart. For in
stance, when they go to class at
school, they do almost everything
else except pay attention to the
teacher. Do you get the point?
The thing they go to school for, the
thing they are hunting, is education.
The flash light is their minds, their
attention —and they don’t bother to
turn it on. So they stumble along
in the dark.
You can’t learn much at school
when you don’t set your mind on the
lessons. Of course, you may be one
of those poor creatures who don’t
care whether they learn anything or
not. If so, you are hopeless. But
if you want to get somewhere in life,
turn on the light.—Highways of
Happiness.
FiAdi Diamond In Shoe
Millen, Ga.—Eustice Reynolds,
proprietor of a shoe repair shop in
Millen, found imbedded within the
sole of a shoe on which he was work
ing, a diamond which is valued at
SIOO. Mr. Reynolds rebulids old
shoes which he buys in quantities
and f then retails them. He received
a large lot of these second-hand
shoes from New York and it was in
one of them that the diamond was
found. The stone was not mounted.
It was a perfect cut and netted Mr.
Reynolds about the best day’s re
muneration which the shop has had.
He is delighted over this unusual find
and will doubtless be inspired to
follow more closely the old admoni
tion for the “shoeman to stick to his
last,” in the hopes of having the
same luck again.
