THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
Place a Turkish towel or rubber
mat on bottom of bathtub before
drawing water into tub. There will
be no danger of slipping when step
ping into the tub.
tt t t
Before washing a woolen sweater
that has buttons and buttonholes,
sew up buttonholes to prevent their
stretching.
tt t t
To prevent custard soaking thro
ugh the crust when baked in pie
shell, brush the white of an egg
beaten lightly over crust before
baking and place in the oven for a
few seconds. The egg hardens the
crust.
ttt
When roasting or frying pork see
that it is thoroughly cooked. Many
people* are made ill by eating pork
not sufficiently cooked.
Brush oiled mops with a whisk
broom instead of shaking them and
see how fluffy and free from dirt
they are.
tt t t
Leftover vegetables can be mixed
with eggs and seasoning and scram
bled and used for the main dish for
luncheon or supper.
tt t t
To remove wax from floors wash
them with benzine and rub with fine
steel wool. This treatment will not
injure the floors.
tt t t
Never attempt to remove steak 01
chops from the oven when the fat
on them catches fire while broiling.

ed beets will give a pleasant flavor.
This is especially suggested when
Toast beef is served.

THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
F. D. R. FARM AIMS
LAUDED BY GEORGE
The Roosevelt administration is
“sincere and courageous” in its ef
forts to help the American farmer,
Senator Walter F. George told ap
proximately 3,000 farmers gathered
for a harvest festival program at
the Georgia Experiment station near
Griffin.
Though farm aid measures were
passed by congress during the Hoov
er and Coolidge administrations, he
pointed out, they were vetoed by
those Presidents. The present ad
ministration, he declared, is the first
ever to have attempted to give ma
terial aid to the farmer.
There are many people, Senator
George said, who believe President
Roosevelt has called the extra ses
sion of congress for the purpose of
declaring war in the orient. “These
rumors,” he declared, “are utterly
without foundation.”
“American courage always has
pulled this nation through in such
crises,” he said, “and it will con
tinue to do so.”
A cotton marketing quota based
on acreage rather than poundage
was advocated by Senator George,
who declared there is “no hope of
economic security or advancement”
for farmers if the old cotton base is
re-established.
“If the new 7 farm bill calls for
production control,” he said, “I
pledge myself unreservedly to work
for an allotment to each farmer on
a fixed and equal percentage of his
cultivated land.”

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR THE
FARMER
(By Lee S. Trimble)
Every business man in Georgia has
an interest in all the farms and
farmers of this section whether he
realizes it or not. To prove that at
once consider the average per capita
spendable income for twenty-six
counties in Middle Georgia. In 1933
that average was $171.00, while in
1936 it was $342.00 just twice as
much. Everybody was poor in 1933,
and everybody is much better off in
1936. We are all tied together in
this matter of welfare, so what is
“everybody’s business” is every
man’s business. Take another ex
ample—in the 1936 Farm Census
the number of farms in the same
area has decreased since 1930. A
bout five farms in every hundred
have been abandoned or merged in
others. That means a loss of pro
ducts; loss of tax revenue; loss of
citizenship and reduction of trade
for merchants and all business.
If the loss of trade is not of first
concern to any business man, then
what does affect him? Suppose these
townsmen had gone energetically
about some remedy for the condi
tions that caused people to leave the
farms and Georgia. Imagine groups
of them taking the trouble to pro
vide markets; easy terms for the
purchase of farm lands; promoting
conveniences such as better roads,
schools and rural electrification for
their farmer customers. Logic tells
the answer to these questions. No
longer can any of us hold aloof to
the troubles of our neighbors.
There is a story of a poor old wo
man who lived in a hovel without
kindred or friends. She sickened of
a contagious disease and lay alone,
no one coming near to give her even
a cup of cold water, and there she
died. But the disease she had was
passed on to those who neglected
her, and several of them also died.
They were her brothers even though
they denied her.
It is not merely a good thing to
do, but good business to he\p with
problems that are common to all.
Building Georgia into her rightful
place in the sisterhood of States is
a task in which every citizen has a
part, and no one can delegate his
share to another.
ARMISTICE
(By Grace Noll Crowell)
“Cessation of hostilities,” the word
Is like the sound of some far
silver bell
Across the land at evening, that
when heard
Men pause and pray to God, and
all is well.
Truly all will be well when nations
cease
Their avarice and greed, their
bitterness;
When Love reigns in men’s hearts
there will be peace,
And a benediction that will heal
and bless.
i
Hasten the time, O God, wipe out
the curse
Of sin and greed, and make men
wise to see
That another war would wreck the
universe,
And crucify mankind, and dishon
or Thee.
“Cessation of hostilities”—dear God,
Wipe war forever from the earth’s
good sod!

FARM BRIEFS
One thirty-second of an inch is
hardly discernible to the eye, but
just that much added to the average
staple length of cotton should mean
in excess of $8,000,000 more in the
pockets of growers in one year.
tt t t
Dairy cows in good condition may
produce profitably on roughage alone
when grains are scarce and expen
sive without ill effects upon the
herd.
tt t t
Farmland often seems as stable as
the rock of Gibraltar. Yet, within
the memory of men now living, land
in Georgia has been cleared, tilled,
ruined by erosion, and abandoned.
tt t t
A New England farmer owned a
3-acre sidehill pasture that was
practically worthless. He set out
1,400 seedling white pines on the
hillside. Twenty years later the
farmer died, and among his assets
was this small tract of young pine.
Much to her surprise, his widow was
offered S3OO for the tract and sold
it. About 15 years later a lumber
company paid SI,OOO for it.
tt t t
The 1938 Agricultural Conserva
tion Program will be based upon the
attainment of national, state, county
and farm “goals” for soil-depleting
crops, and for soil-biuTding crops
and practices, as a part of the effort
to restore soil fertility and stabilize
agricultural production.
ONE PERFECT DAY, MARLOWE
REUNION
The sun came up over the eastern
hills Sunday morning, bringing the
assurance of a bright, beautiful day;
and as it slowly traveled its path
across the cloudless sky, a party was
pleasantly gliding down a country
road that leads to the hospitable
home of Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Mar
lowe, where we had been invited to
share in a birthday dinner. The
long table w r as spread with a load
of good things that showed the skill
of good cooks.
After dinner w r as served a talk
was made on the Bailey, Brown and
Marlowe generation, by Rev. R. M.
Rigdon of Jefferson.
It is a day long to be remembered
as a bright spot in our lives, and as
the sun began to drop behind the
western hills we realized the ending
of one perfect day.
About one hundred people were
present.

DRIVE LAUNCHED
TO COLLECT TAXES
UPON INTANGIBLES
Contending that hundreds of
Georgia homes and farms as well as
household goods have been sold for
taxes while hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of bonds, notes and
other securities have escaped pay
ment, Governor Rivers Friday
launched an intensive drive to col
lect seven years’ back taxes on the
intangible properties.
The Governor said he did not know
the value of the stocks and bonds
involved nor the amount of taxes
alleged to be due the state. How
ever, over the seven-year period, a
total of 30 mills has been levied.
Various reports at the capitol
that the amounts due the state and
its subdivisions might run as high as
$100,000,000.
THANKFULNESS
I’m thankful for the dawn of day,
For useful work and buoyant play;
I’m thankful for the faith of friends,
For humble heart that condescends.
I’m thankful for the trees and flow
ers,
For sapphire seas and cooling show
ers,
I’m thankful for the world of books,
For chanting birds and purling
brooks.
I’m thankful for the sun at noon,
For silent star and crescent moon;
I’m thankful for the gift of prayer,
For blessings I can freely share.
I’m thankful for the right to live,
For daily chance to serve and give;
I’m thankful most to God above
For His protecting, perfect love.
—Grenville Kleiser.

42,000 RAINBOW TROUT PLACED
IN GEORGIA STREAMS
Plans to make Georgia a “fisher
man’s paradise” received a big boost
as Joe D. Mitchell, state diiector of
wild life, revealed that 42,000 rain
bow trout, ranging in size from 4 to
8 inches, had been placed in North
Georgia streams.
The trout were placed in head
waters of the Chattahoochee, Toc
coa, Consuaga and Jack Rivers after
a survey conducted by George S-
Hayman, superintendent of the
State Fish Hatcheries; Charles B.
Grater, of the U. S. Bureau of Fish
eries, and Ted Seely, of the U. S.
Forest Service.
The work of placing the fish in
the streams was conducted by the
State Wild Life Department, Civilian
Conservation Corps and the Federal
Forestry Service.
Mr. Mitchell also revealed that
plans are under way to hatch one
million eggs to stock Georgia
streams. He said he is seeking 250,-
000 brook trout eggs for hatching.
“ATE IT COLD”
j
A foreman in a certain factory is
in the habit of getting an apprentice
to heat his lunch for him. The oth
er day he called anew apprentice.
“Go down stairs and ’eat up my
lunch for me,” he ordered.
The boy obeyed with alacrity. ,
Ten minutes later the foreman
came down. He was hungry.
“Where’s my lunch?” he demand
ed.
The boy gazed at him in amaze
ment.
“You told me to eat it up, and I
ate it.”
“I didn’t tell you to heat it up,”
roared the foreman. “I told you to
’eat it up.”
“Well, I didn’t heat it up,” main
tained the youngster, stoutly; “I ate
it cold.”—Pathfinder.
NO SOFT SNAP JOBS
The depression may be over, but
the young chap fresh out of college
is still apt to find it hard to get a
job. So says a report issued by in
vestigators at the University of \J)uf
falo, who find that although there
are more jobs now than formerly,
employers axe getting increasingly
careful about, the men they pick to
fill them.
“Employers, through improved
personnel services, are requiring
that graduates ‘sell themselves’ more
than ever,” says the report. “This
means partly the possession of good
manners, neatness, confidence and
apparent ambition. Above all, it is
dependent on submissive willingness
to work hard as an apprentice.”
It might be a good thing for this
year’s college seniors to bear that
disclosure in mind. There are jobs
to be had, for ambitious young men
—but a college diploma is no longer
a passport to a soft snap.
