ADVERTISING AS AN INVESTMENT
A lecent announcement from one of the largest na
tional advertisers stating that last year an increase of
eight pei cent was made in their newspaper advertising
budget brought in return a gain of twenty-six per cent
in business, should, be convincing to all concerns that ad
vertising pays.
Advertising for the smallest or the largest business
in a community will bring new business that could not be
secured through any other agency. The buying public
looks to the newspapers for information about merchan
dise as much so as they do for the news of the day. It is
through the newspapers that the public is informed, and
it is the advertising columns that build business and
brings to the merchants prosperity and profits.
It is the history of all concerns that advertise judi
ciously that they become leaders in the community. No
business can hope to prosper and build without a reason
able amount of newspaper advertising. That has been
the the history of all businesses the world over, and it will
continue to be the greatest agency through which the mer
chant can increase and build a firm and sound foundation
for his business.—Athens Banner-Herald.

COUNTRY THINGS I LOVE MOST
(Prize Letter)
I love our cornfields, where roast
ing ears, cornfield beans, and apri
cots all grow together. The mingled
fragrance is finer than any perfume.
I love to fish up and down our big
spring branch and get the smell of
willows, peppermint, ground ivy,
and fish.
I love the song of all farm machin
ery, especially that of the tractor
and reaper, as they start on the
first round of our ripening wheat.
I love to work in the shop on a
rainy day.
I love to break our colts—see
them rear up, jump arouad, and final
ly quiet down.
I love to find and cut a big bee
tree in the woods.
I love to fix up on Sunday morn
ing and go to our country church,
which stands in a locust grove where
yellow buttercups bloom in the
spring and where we have all-day
singings with dinner on the ground.

HOOKWORM DISEASE
PRESENTS SERIOUS
HEALTH PROBLEM
The eradication of hookworm dis
ease presents a continuous problem
in our state, one which has been
with us for a long while and which
is quite likely to remain with us un
til tho people of the state are awak
ened to the fact that something must
be done by everyone toward fighting
this disease.
The control of human excreta is
the only remedy that is worth while
in the control of hookworm. The
condition produced by this parasite
is one that needs the attention of the
sanitarian in every home. The
Georgia Department of Public
Health will be glad to cooperate with
the owners of homes, owners of
tenant places, and the public in gen
eral in planning sanitary privies.
Many thousands of specimens have
been examined in the State Labora
tory, and many thousands of our
people have been found to be in
fected with hookworm disease. The
treatment of the condition after it
arises, although advisable, is of tem
porary benefit, and many people
have been benefited by taking the
free treatment that is furnished by
the health departments, only to be
come reinfested as soon as it is
possible for the worms to produce
the symptoms known as hookworm
disease.
With our schools just opening,
this question of hookworm will be
uppermost in the minds of a num
ber of our teachers, because of the
fact that it is impossible to get the
attention and the cooperation of a
child who is infested with hookworm.
Such a child cannot learn; he can
not have the energy to devote to
study; and many of these children
have to repeat their grades year af
ter year at the public expense. It
is essential that every community
and every school become interested
in the proper sanitation, not only of
the school itself, but of the homes
from which the children come.
The Georgia Department of Pub
lic Health will be glad to advise with
teachers or citizens who are con
cerned with this problem and to be
of any assistance possible to the
community.—Georgia’s Health.
NAMES IN TOWNS IN STATES
There are few states in the union
that do not have towns or cities with
the same names. For instance, there
are a dozen or more “Athens” in the
various states. Atlanta is not far
behind, there being nine including
the Georgia capital. Then there are
nineteen Richmonds in addition to
the capitol of Virginia. Twenty-five
Springfields other than the one in
Massachusetts. There are thirty
five Franklins, thirty-three Cliftons,
thirty-one Arlingtons and thirty-one
Hamittons and sixteen Albanys in
addition to the one in Georgia.
However, there is only one town
in the United States that stands out
separate and distinct of having been
incorporated as “Santa Claus.” It
is presumed that these names cause
postal clerks much trouble in hand
ling mail for these towns that have
the same names in the several states.
For that reason, in addressing let
ters, the name of the state should
be written out in full and not in an
abbreviated form. As an illustration,
Georgia for “Ga.”, and Pennsylvania
instead of writing it “Pa.”
It is seldom, however, that letters
are missent to this or that postoffice
intended for some other state. It
does occur, of course, but in very
isolated instances. Letters plainly
addressed seldom go wrong, but a
return request on the envelope
should be written or printed which
would save the government employes
time, labor and inconveniences.—

NO WORLD WAR EXPECTED
The look of things in Europe is
more warlike and threatening, these
days, than at any time since the
World War. Yet a betting man
might very well feel inclined to
gamble that there won’t really be
another world war, after all. The
situation probably looks darker than
it really is.
The most encouraging factor is
that underneath their bluster and
big talk, the statesmen of Europe
are scared to death.
For one thing, the memory of 1914
is too close. The jar that sent the
world sliding into war in that year
was actually much less severe than
some of the shocks Europe has had
lately; but while today’s statesmen
may play with the word, “War,” he
knows from actual experience what
the word really means—something
his predecessors of 23 years ago did
not know. It makes a world of dif
ference.

POETIC LICENSE
The starry-eyed poet, reports Dan
Shapiro, buttonholed the famous
multi-millionaire.
“Mr. Doakes,” he said, “I’ve come
to ask you for your daughter’s
hand.”
“What!" he howled. “Do you
realize that my daughter just in
herited one million dollars—while
you haven’t a cent to your name?”
The poet nodded.
“I understand all that, sir,” he re
plied dreamily. “But I figured the
million would tide us over until I
sold one of my poems!”

HERE'S WHY: WORRY
ENDANGERS A STUDENT’S
HEALTH MORE THAN STUDY
(By Ira S. Wile, M. D.)
The Directors of Physical Educa
tion for college women were told
not long ago by Dr. Josephine L.
Rathbone, of Teachers College, that
many college girls are endangering
their health through over-indulgence
in physical and mental activities.
Her advice: “Take it easy and you’ll
last longer.”
That is all right if you understand
how it was meant; it wasn’t to give
failing students an excuse for lying
down on their work.
Asa motter of fact, over-study
and overwork have rarely endanger
ed the health of students. Worry
over study and fear of work have
been more dangerous. Only a small
proportion of college students in
dulge in severe athletic competitions,
and those who do so are taught the
value of alternating rest with exer
cise.
Adolescents have a great store of
power and energy which can be tap
ped when they need it. But they
don’t willingly tap it except for
something they are interested in and
want to do. Nellie is too tired to
wash the dishes—but ready and able
to dance all night; John can run 100
yards in ten seconds—but walking
to the shoemaker’s with Father’s
worn-out shoes is too exhausting.
Life consists of efforts and rest,
tension and relaxation, and both
are necessary to normal living. Stu
dents as a class do not suffer from
over-work any more than from over
relaxation.
FIGHT FIRE
Farm fires in the United States
cost $100,000,000 and 3,500 lives
every year. This is an alarming rec
ord, especially when one considers
the added cost of fires in business
sections of cities and in homes.
Many of these fires occur in the
fall when dead leaves are prevalent
and hay is being stored. Others oc
cur in the winter when homes must
be warmed and lighted during the
long winter evenings.
Fires can be prevented by using
plain common sense and following
safety rules such as the following:
Protect the area around any stove
with asbestos or metal sheets.
Have stove pipes as short as possi
ble and tightly fitted.
If kerosene lamps are used, they
should have broad, steady bases, and
the wicks should be kept evenly
trimmed. Don’t hang them on walls
or place under curtains.
Don’t pile damp hay or leave oily
rags or clothes lying in warm places.
If you smoke, don’t knock ashes in
the waste paper basket or the hay,
and don’t smoke in bed.
Train children rigidly not to play
with matches or fire. Don’t leave
matches where mice can get them.
Handle kerosene and gasoline
carefully.
Be sure your electric connections
are adequate and well insulated.
I. D. Goss, chairman of the agri
culture committee of the national
fire waste council, says: “An under
standing of fire hazards and a firm
resolution on the part of each in
dividual to observe the greatest care
and vigilance in fire prevention
would result immediately in wiping
out a large part of the huge annual
loss.”
THE TOMATO A VALUABLE
VEGETABLE, VINE 13 FT. HIGH
The tomato was once considered
of no value to the human being ex
cept as an ornamental flower, but
today it is one of the most used
garden vegetables, and with a little
effort it can be made a very profit
able plant. At present I have a vine
13 feet high, and I have gathered
thirty-five pounds of nice smooth to
matoes off of it. I expect to get
fifty or sixty pounds before frost.
The public is invited to come and
view it, and see what can be done
just by doing a little extra work.
If you want to see it, don’t wait too
long, as I may enter it in a fair in
a short while. Should I not be at
home when you come, you can view
it just the same. Respectfully, R.
W. Adams, 2 % miles from Jefferson,
Ga., R-2.
The recent national convention of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars went
on record as favoring the 300,060

tion made by the Veterans of Forei
gn Wars is adopted, this nation will
