THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
• COMPENSATION
I’d like to think when life is done
That I had filled a needed post,
That here and there I’d paid my fare
With more than idle talk and
boast;
That I had taken gifts divine,
The breath of life and manhood fine,
And tried to use them now and then
In service for my fellow men.
I’d hate to think when life is through
That I had lived my round of
years
A useless kind, that leaves behind
No record in this vale of tears;
That I had wasted all my days
By treading only selfish ways,
And that this world would be the
same
If it had never known my name.
I’d like to think that here and there
When I am gone, there shall re
main
A happier spot that might have not
Existed had I toiled for gain;
That some one’s cheery voice and
smile
Shall prove that I had been worth
while
That I had paid with something fine
My debt to God for life divine.
—Edgar A. Guest.
A young boy, undergoing an ex
amination for a position, came
across the question, “What is the dis
tance of the earth from the sun?”
He wrote his answer as follows:
“I am unable to state accurately,
but I don’t believe the sun is near
enough to interfere with a proper
performance of my duties if I get
this clerkship.” He got it.

The Country And The
Doctor
Much has been written lately
about doctors locating in cities,
leaving country towns and com
munities without the service of a
physician.
In the last issue of the Lavooiu
Times there is an article from a well
known Athens physician, who says:
“There is nothing strange about
the absence of country doctors in
towns nor in many other rural sec
tions of the United States.
Doctors are not in these rural sec
tions for many reasons.
Chiefly among these reasons is the
inability or unwillingness of u great
many of urban and rural citizens to
pay doctors enough to practice in
these communities.
“Not that doctors are exorbitent
in their demands but that they must
derive income from their collections
sufficient to maintain themselves and
also have proper equipment for ex
cellent service.
“Medical education is costly. A
properly equipped doctor has gone
through grammar school, high school,
college, a medical school and when
he has at last finished his internship
in a hospital and is ready to prac
tice, he finds that his education to
date has cost from twenty to thirty
thousand dollars, not to mention the
fact that he is now 27 or 28 years
old. By the time he is thirty he is
probably established in practice,
starting to work, having made no
money during the 12 best creative
years of his life, with about one
half of his life span behind him.
“A great many doctors have bor
rowed money for their education
and these funds must be repaid.
This type of doctor will not, willing
ly face almost sure starvation in a
small town or rural community.
“Automobiles and good roads have
done a great deal to lower the pres
tige and earnings of rural phy
sicians. Their patients seek the city
doctors and ignore their local men
who in nine cases out of ten, could
render just as skillful service for a
much smaller fee.”
STAY AT HOME, SUTTON TELLS
ALABAMA WOMEN
Tuscaloosa, Ala.—Women in the
offices of the country instead of ir
the homes were blamed'today by Dr.
Willis A. Sutton, Superintendent of
Schools of Atlanta, as partly respon
sible for the nation’s economic ills.
“Almost every problem in this
country today could be solved if the
women of America—up to 75 per
cent of them—would stay at home
where they belong,” Dr. Sutton told
the Alabama Congress of Parents
and Teachers.
Dr. Sutton, a former president of
the National Education Association,
praised the home as the primary
educational institution.
“The major force behind all edu
cation is the home,” he asserted.
“The home, no matter where it is,
can be a community of clean think
ing and clean living.”
The educator declared he is not in
favor of seeing women restored to
“domestic drudgery, ’’but said they
should be the chief means of re
storing home life to what it should
be.
He took a slap at “marrying jus
tices” who resort to .high-pressure
salesmanship in order to obtain
ceremonies. The home and the
church are the only two proper
places for marriage ceremonies to be
performed, he said.
JACKSON COUNTY
OFFICERS ESCAPE INJURY
IN AUTO TURNOVER
Deputy Sheriff Claud Culberson,
accompanied by A. D. Bullock and
Loyd Chandler, bailiffs in Minish’s
District, escaped injury Thursday
night when his car turned over
while chasing a whiskey car in
Iloschton district. Both drivers were
in the same model car, a 37 V-8
Ford, and Culberson had chased the
whiskey car about five miles when
his rear tire blew out, causing the
car to turn over, smashing the side
windows and injuring the top, side
and fenders of the car. The whis
key car was occupied by a white man
and a negro, but Claud says they
did not stop to render him any aid
in his mishap.

Railroad* Facing Problem
It is doubtful if there is a problem
facing the American people today of
more vital concern than that of the
railroads. There can be no question
that, for a vast majority of the rail
road lines of this country, their fi
nancial structure is disintegrating.
Higher operating costs, inescapable
fixed charges and reduced revenues
have created a situation that carries
a serious menace to every one.
The financial structure of the
roads is so inextricably interwoven
with the economic life of us all that
a complete collapse of the rails
would inevitably mean serious loss to
everyone. Rail securities are held
by public and semi-public organiza
tions. Many railroad bonds are the
property of various states. Many
others are listed among the assets of
the great insurance companies. They
form the greater part of various
trust funds, established for philan
thropic or educational purposes.
Should rail bonds lose their value,
it would be the average men and wo
men who would suffer. They would
suffer through the loss that would
accrue to their state treasuries and,
thence, to the schools and institu
tions maintained by the states.
They would suffer through their in
surance policies, through ciA-tail
ment of advantages previously pro
vided by the donors of trust, etc.
The railroad workers have pro
tested against a reduction in wages
which the roads, in their dilemma,
have asked. The side of the work
ers has been told. It is but fair
that the arguments on behalf of the
roads should likewise be given to
the public.
One railroad peculiarly close to
the south and to Georgia, the Nash
ville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, pre
sented its argument for lower rail
wages in an advertisement which ap
peared in The Constitution of Mon
day. Figures and facts are given in
that advertisement in a way which
cannot be misunderstood. It is a
cledr and calm presentation of a
situation, as it is applied to that
particular road, told by the road it
self.—Atlanta Constitution.
NORTH GEORGIANS
URGED TO PLANT
LETTUCE FIELDS
Blairsville, Ga.—The cultivation
and production of lettuce offers a
source of income which may prove
the “salvation” of north Georgia
farmers, John E. Bailey, supervisor
of the Mountain Experiment Station
here, declared.
“Buyers,” he said, “are glad to
pay a premium on north Georgia let
tuce. This year we disposed of our
lettuce at a price of 90 cents, while
buyers were paying only 80 to 85
cents a dozen heads for lettuce
grown in California, Colorado and
other western states.”
Mr. Bailey reports that on ap
proximately one-fifth of an acre, the
experiment station this year produc
ed and marketed $152 worth of let
tuce, and that production costs were
less than SSO per one-fourth acre.
“This,” he added, “was only the
spring crop. Another may be pro
duced on the same tract in the fall,
though it will not be as much or as
good a grade as the spring lettuce.”
Mr. Bailey warned, however, that
farmers engaged in the cultivation
of lettuce “must expect to put out
an unlimited amount of labor at a
heavy initial cost. We are confident
anyone who is ready and willing to
do this will reap a rich and satis
factory reward.”
HUMAN INTEREST STORY
Not because of her position alone,
but because of the circumstances
of the incident, the announcement
that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has
given away her last string of pearls
will arouse much human interest.
Her own mother-in-law had given
her a pearl “dog-collar” as a wed
ding present.
Mrs. Roosevelt has several sons,
hence she had the “collar” dismount
ed and the pearls arranged in strings
for her prospective daughters-in
law.
Now the last string has gone to
Anne Clark, of Boston, bride of her
youngest son, John.
Aside from the fact that such dis
position of the jewels prevented any
appearance of preference, Mrs.
Roosevelt, whose kind-heartedness is
proverbial, will doubtless enjoy see
ing them worm by her sons’ wives
much more than if she had kept the
original “collar” merely to be looked
at.
Never allow silver spoons, stained
with egg, to stand. Put into cold
water to soak as soon as they are
removed from the table.
