TRIO OF YOUNG BUSINESS MEN
PLAN SOUTH’S GREATEST FAIR
..
Re-elected to their respective offices following the tremendous
success of their efforts last year, the above trio of young' Atlanta
businessmen will again be in charge when the gates swing open
September 29 on the Southeastern Fair and Cotton States Exposition
at Lakewood Park, Atlanta. The fair and exposition will continue
through October 6, and because of the 40th year jubilee celebration
of the first Cotton States Exposition, will be south-wide in im
portance. They are, left to right. W. J. Davis, Jr., treasurer; Mike
Benton, three-times president, and John Armour, vice-president
of the Southeastern Fair association.
“KING COTTON” WILL BE HONORED
DURING SOUTHEASTERN FAIR
ATLANTA, GA. Commemorat
ing the Cotton States and Interna
tional Exposition held here 40
years ago, “King Cotton” will play
an important part during the
Southeastern Fair and Cotton
States Exposition, opening at Lake
wood Park September 29 and con
tinuing through October 6.
The former Agricultural build
ing at the fairgrounds will be
known as the Cotton States Expo
sition Building this year, and the
cotton motif will be prominent
throughout the eight days of fun
and frolic.

HELP KIDNEYS'
WHEN kidneys function badly and
you suffer backache, dirtiness,
burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion, getting up at night, swollen feet
and ankles; feel upset and miserable
... use Doan's Pius.
Doan’s arc especially for poorly
working kidneys. Millions of boxes
are used every year. They are recom
mended by users the country over.
Ask your neighbor!
Doans Pius
40 years ago, that attracted the
attention of the world to Atlanta
and the southeast, will form a
background for the more modern
day cotton and kindred exhibits,
and governmental and state co
operation will make the Cotton
States Exposition one of the most
educational and interesting phases
of this year’s fair.
The Cotton States Exposition
will be an added feature, however,
and will in no way detract from
the many other educational and
entertain.ng features of the fair
which have made the Southeastern
more than south-wide in import
ance ar.d scope during recent
years, it is assured.

SONS OF MINISTERS AGAIN
Those who read the editorial from
The Christian Index, “Clergymen’s
Sons,” carried as a reprint in a re
cent issue of the Wesleyan, will be
interested in the response which that
editorial brought from Doctor Kerr
Boyce Tupper, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia.
Doctor Tupper writes the Index:
“Upon l eading today the illuminat- i
ing editorial in The Christian Index !
of July 4, on ‘Clergymen’s Sons,’:
the present writer recalls the names :
of the following eminent sons of;

Heber, Lowell, Tennyson and Oliver
Wendell Holmes, among the poets;

“Show to me another body of men
able to point to descendants as dis
tinguished and useful as these! Make
further study, as in .‘Who’s Who in
America,’ and find, to your astonish
ment, perhaps, that, in that more
names of sons of clergymen than of (
those of any other professional call
ing.”
Not only so, Doctor, but the chil
dren of ministers achieve fame in
numbers so out of proportion to the
children of any other profession that
it has attracted the attention of
psychologists. The explanation, how
ever, is not psychological unless
psychology be taken in its original
cense of the science of the soul. It
is the influence of moral idealism
end high living that account for the
success of ministers’ sons. But Doc
tor Gilbert and Doctor Tupper are
optimists indeed if they think they
can slay the popular prejudice that
“preachers’ children are the worst
children in the world.” All that you
gentlemen, along with Doctor An
thony in a still earlier issue of the
Wesleyan, have done is to present
facts. Most people are not govern
ed by facts but by their emotions.
It takes a half century to slay a po
pular prejudice with mere facts. As
a matter of fact preachers’ children
—but why mention any more facts?

RESEARCH RESULTS
REVIEWED IN NEW
1935 YEARBOOK
Articles on practically all phases
of the technical and economic re
search done in the U. S. Department
of Agriculture appear in the Depart
ment’s Yearbook of Agriculture for
1935, which is just off the press.
The articles are non-teehnieal and
cover a great variety of subjects, in
cluding those dealt with by the Ag
ricultural Adjustment Administra
tion. Among the topics to which the
book devotes special attention are
soil erosion, the eradication and con
trol of insect pests, forest conserva
tion, animal husbandry, and chemi
cal investigations.
In a foreword, the Secretary of
Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace, em
phasizes the importance of organiz
ing scientific research, without de
stroying the spirit of free inquiry.
“We combine organization with
freedom in our political life,” says
the Secretary. “We are trying to
do the same in the economic sphere.
There is an identical problem in
science. Organization, is necessary
in this field too. Modern science is
cooperative. Scientific men cannot
work in isolation without funds,
equipment, and communication with
fellow workers. But the organiza
tion of research, particularly in
studies that affect economic inter
ests is difficult. It tempts us to an
ticipate findings. This temptation
we must resist. Otherwise the re
search is spurious and the research
morale declines. Science is either
free or dead. In organizing research
vve must not destroy its nature and
leave only a mechanism.’*
That the U. S. Department of Ag
riculture has measurably solved this
problem and discovered how to or
ganize research without regimenting
the research personnel is indicated
by the new Yearbook, the Secretary’s
foreword declares. The Secretary
remarks that the articles, although
generally expressing a consensus a
mong specialists in the subjects dis
cussed and in related fields, do not
exclude individual opinion and in
dividual findings. The Department,
the foreword says, does not impress
a dead uniformity on the writings of
its scientific staff, but encourages
freedom of expression, as well as
freedom of inquiry.
Besides the general articles by the
Department’s specialists, the volume
contains the annual report of the
Secretary of Agriculture for 1934,
and the usual collection of agricul
tural statistics. The book may be
obtained through Senators and Con
gressmen, or from the Superintend
ent of Documents, Washington, I).

SO FAR THIS YEAR 7,060 PEOPLE
KILLED BY AUTOMOBILES!
Every 19 minutes some American
is killed by an automobile. So far
this year our auto traffic has killed
7,060 people; and the National Safe
ty Council warns that unless some
thing is done to check the trend our
death list for 1935 will be the high
est we ever had.
Perhaps the greatest puzzle in
modern life is the complacency with
which we accept this state of affairs.
Life must be exceedingly cheap in
this country when a thing which kills
us at the rate of more than 30,000 a
year fails to stir us to action.
It is nonsense to say that the rate
cannot be reduced. The traffic death
rate in Indianapolis, for instance,
stands at 36.5 per 100,000 of popu
lation; in New York City it is 9.7.
Similar disparities are to be found
all along the line.
We can cut the toll to a fraction
of its present size, if we just make
up our minds that we are going to
do so.
DIRECT RELIEF TO END SAYS
HOPKINS
Washington. Relief Administra
tor Hopkins served notice Thursday
that all direct federal relief will end
November 1.
The administrator said that as
works progress money is handed out
to states, the funds for direct relief
will decrease proportionately. Hop
kins denied that cities are unable to
take care of their own unemployed.;
He pointed out that 600 million dol
lars is in the hands of the states to
take care of such problems.
Administrator Hopkins says the:
work relief funds have already put,
550 thousand people to work. The
CCC has 425,000, the works progress
administration has 105,000, while
20,000 are working on federal pro
jects. He expects to have the 3,-
500,000 now on relief employed .be- i
tween now and November 1. |

THE TOUCH OF THE MASTER’S
HAND
“Twas battered, scarred, and the
auctioneer
Thought it scarcely worth his while
To waste his time on the old violin
But held it up with a smile,
‘What am I bidden, good people,” he
cried,
“Who’ll start the bidding for me?
A dollar, a dollar! now two, only
two;
Two dollars, and who’ll make it
three?
Three dollars once, three dollars
twice;
Going for three?” But no!
From the room far back a gray
haired man
Came forward and picked up the
bow,
Then wiping the dust from the old
violin
And tightening up the strings,
He played a melody pure and sweet.
As sweet as an angel sings.
The music ceased and the auctioneer
With a voice that was quiet and low
Said, “What am I bid for the old
violin?”
And he held it up with the bow.
“A thousand dollars, and who’ll make
it two,
Two thousand, and who’ll make it
three?
Three thousand once; three thousand
twice;
And going and gone,” said he.
The people cheered, hut some of
them cried,
“We don’t quite understand
What changed its worth?” Swift
came the reply,
“The touch of a master’s hand.”
And many a youth with life out of
tune
And battered and torn with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless
crowd
Much like the old violin.
A mess of pottage, a glass of wine,
A game, and he travels on.
He is going once, and going twice;
He’s going and almost gone.
But the Master comes and the fool-
ish crowd
Never can quite understand—
The worth of a soul, and the chang
that’s wrought
By the touch of the Master’s hand,
