SUMTER COUNTY
POULTRY ASSOCIATION.
Friday a poultry association was
formed in Americus.
That is just another step for
ward for Sumter county. There’s
money in eggs and chickens —thou-
sand and thousands of dollars.
Chicken and eggs are two of the
finest food known to man, and yet
they are difficult to secure even in
a city the size of Americus. In the
metropolitan cities friers, broilers
and capons bring excellent prices.
Handling our poultry products
as we have handled our hogs means
a steady, safe and reliable source
of income for every farmer in the
county.
If you have only a few chick
ens running around the place, get
busy and join the poultry assoica
tion.
THE SCHOOL
OF CERAMICS.
An effort i«. being made, to es
tablish at the Georgia School of
Technology a school of ceramics.
The legislature made a small ap
propriation additional to I ech for
this school, and the Atlanta ( ham
ber of Commerce adds $250.00 to
the $20,000 fund being raised by
Tech for the ceramics department.
It is stated that Georgia soil
contains better and more kinds of
clay than any other state in the
union. Ceramics engineers claim
that Georgia clays will produce
tiles equal and in many instances
superior to those imported from
Italy.
One wav to increase Georgia in
gome.is to increase Georgia's tax
able valuables by turning into a
manufactured product Georgia
clays. It is claimed that a dime’s
worth of Georgia clay goes to the
potteries of Ohio and that we buy'
it back for $25.00.
Clays can not be turned into
finished products until we have
trained engineers to man our
plants, and this school will in time
supply these men.
THE ONE-CROP A
COMMUNITY.
Another Eastern cotton; manu
facturer establishes a branch in >
the South. Yesterday’s paper |
stated that the United States Cot- ,
ton Finishing Co., would build a
$1,000,000 branch at Cedartown. ;
“Chip” Robert, mill engineer, '
states that while Eastern mills will
not close down their plants and
move them South they were bring
ing all additions to the South.
Gradually the South’s cotton is
being turned into a manufactured
product at its source of production.
High freight rates, labor condi
tions, climate and other reasons
make the change natural and prop
er.
The community that really wants
one of these branches, usually gets
it. A nay roll in every village
and town means continuous busi
ness and prosperity.
The one-crop lives in clover for
a part of the year and raves and
suffers the balance of the twelve
months.
The community depending on
one crop is about like the business
house that sells only one article.
Overheads eats up all the profits.
HOW WALL STREET
GOT ITS NAME.
Do you know how Wall Street
gqt its name? Back in 1653, when
New York City was known as New
Amsterdam and was owned by the
Dutch, it feared an attack from
nearby English colonies. To keep
out invaders, tlyj inhabitants built
a wall of logs and thick planks.
The highway that gradually came
into existence inside this stockade
was called Wall Street.
The -wooden wall was only 12
feet high, with sharp points along
the top. To withstand battering
rams, it was braced on the south or
inner side by banked-ujr earth,.
New Amsterdam finally was
i hptured by the forces of the
Duke of York and remained New
' York in honor of the captor. It
I wasn’t much of a military victory,
|at the time, only 208 defenders
j surrendering.
The 208 might have done some
tall fighting if they had known
the future value of the dirt road
inside the wooden wall.
It gives you aji idea of how
primitive things were, less than
I 300 years ago, w hen you stop to
I consider that a stockade 12 feet
I high, was considered a reasonable
defense against an attacking army.
Compare with modern fortifica
tions and you realize the progress
made by the devilish ingenuity «of
man in the matter pf military de
vices.
One large bomb, dropped from
a modern airplane, would have an
nihilated the old wall and most of
the village it protected.
By another two years France
•expects to have 7000 military air
planes of high-power .battle type.
She already has 1250, against
England's 6000, America’s 445
and Japan’s, 250.
The whole scheme and also the
futility of armaments is graphi
cally illustrated by the comparison
of modern armaments with, the
wol'den stockade from vthjeh Wall
Street got its name.
G<? back in history and \ou find
men (inventing shields that were !
impenetrable by spear or arrow.
Then came gunpowder and the bul
let tnat would pierce shields. It’s a
merry-go-round system, alternate
ly working out a means of protec
tion, then a means to counteract
the protection.
The steel industry one year per
fects a battleship armorplate that
no shell can penetrate. Then
comes a sihell that penetrates any
thing existing to date. Then a
stronger armorplate, next a more
powerful shell—so on generation
after generation.
The armannents race goes on
now, as in tlhe past, thinly disguis
ed. Somehow humanity cannot
get the fact through its dense
brain, that there is no perfect pro
tection or del ense and no last word
in offensive weapons.
No matter what any one invents
for offense on defense, some one
S»on discovers a device that coun
teracts it. Os all stupid and asin
ine follies, the armaments race is
easily the leader. And will be, un
til the people strip their politicians
of the power to declare war.
IN GRANDMOTHER’S j f
DAY.
When grandmother kept house,
Monday and Tuesday were washing
and ironing -days. Friday and Sat
urday were for housecleaning and
beating the rugs. A lot of time
was lost in cooking, washing the
dishes and other household chores.
Today the up-to-date housekeep
er's washing is done before Mon
day noon. Electric irons speed
Tuesday into a couple of
hours. Grandmother never imagin
ed that meals could be prepared so
rapidly, or that dish-washing could
be disposed of in such short order.
She would have marveled at the ef
fectiveness of vacuum cleaners,
better cleansers and the many
household helps designed to light
en, quicken and improve the work.
That is what advertising means
to women today. It has brought
them countless appliances which
i help in their work, better condi
■ lions in their homes, add to their
• pleasure and increase their interest
I in life.
Advertisements published in this
paper continually tell of many con
veniences and comforts that you
might otherwise miss.

COMMENT. |
“EVEN THE SOVIET!”
In the course of a bedate in
the house of representatives Fri
day on a proposed tax of $2,-
500 on engagement on grand
opera, Representative Pope, of
Walker county is quoted as hav
ing said:
“I say let us tax the crowd that
attends grand opera, the luxury
rolling, silk rolling, diamond
wearing monkey and poodle dog
nursing, and abbreviated ap
parel wearing gang.”
Such a statement as this from
a member of the Georgia legis
lature does not need to be com
mented upon. The quotation in
cold type carries its own lesson
and invokes its own appraisal.
Even the soviet or Russian
the reddest of the reds and the
most radical of radicals— makes
music the nucleus of his govern
mental hopes and aspirations, the
one endowing tenet of his party
faith, and the only objective of
his subsidy.
Even the soviet subsidizes
grand opera—for it knotys what
music means to the people.
And Georgia is in enlightened,
cultured, democratic America!

From places which are miles
From anywhere at all,
Where there aren’t any styles
And no one comes to call;
From shacks far, far too small
And bunks devoid of ease,
From all the “wildwood’s thrall"
Good Lord, excuse us please!
• From tramping over bogs
Before the dawn is gray;
From choruses of frogs,
And katydids at play;
From hearing, night and day,
Those endless histories
Os fish that got away,
Good Lord, excuse us please!

From phonographs which croak

From whiskers which disguise i

From food forever fried,
From ants, mosquitoes, fleas,
From spots men view with pride,
Good Lord, excuse us please!
