They wonder if it is permanent, if investments made here are safe. For an answer to this question they turned to Rog er Babson, considered among the forerpost statisticians in the world. He was asked for a free 1 and frank statement. This state ment he gave, part of which was published in some of the State papers. | We have secured a copy of the, complete text which should be interesting to every Georgian- It follows: The eyes of almost the entire na tion are turning toward the South. At thie moment, public interest is focused upon Florida; but in my opinion, the South as a whole is bound to benefit by this remark- i able wave of interest, at present concentrated in a single Southern state. Until the last few years, few people (except those who have made some particular study of lo cal condition) have realized the South’s great natural resources, its exceptional advantages of climate, and the other factors which make this region so important from the viewpoint of the economist. It sems safe ta say, that at the present time the country as a whole is bettpr acquainted with the SouJJn and ir.qoe. op.mtistjc er.Jts possibilities than at any time be fore in history. Just now, of course, there is a furor of discussion about Miami and other cities which having such a spectacular expansion; but to < me the significant thing is this: More and more people after they have mentioned Florida conditions, begin to talk about other localities in the South. Therefore I empha size this point, that Florida will be a gigantic advertisement of the powers and possibilities of other j Southern states. I shall be greatly j surprised if this tidal wave of pub- j lie interest does not spread out to Georgia and h.’er neighbors. Turning to Georgia in particular, statistics show a clearly defined upward trend in general business. If we take business activity in this states, as measured by the check of transactions of ten or more representative Georgia cities, we find an upward movement which has gradually been gathering headway for almost an entire year. The recent statistics are especial ly encouraging, as they are running ' nearly 25 percent ahead of the cor responding period of the preceding year. Favorable evidence can be found not merely in these figures i of general business, but also in > various specific lines. The record I which I keep of spindle hours in the ' cotton mills shows an nnmistable upward tendency when allowance > is made for seasonal variations. Wholesale and retail trade are gradually quickening. Gasoline consumption is on the increase. Employment statistics are more iavorable. Sales of life insurance are strengthening. Tho record of postal receipts is fairly firnv The valu- of Georgia’s crops this year should equal if not exceed the fig ure of, a year ago, which in turn was the highest since the low point in 1921. The South is now one of the most interesting sections of the United States. Current statistics point to Georgia as a Southern state which is showing marked economic im provement. In running through the official statistics collected by the Federal government, Georgia ranks exceedingly High in value of cotton, pecan., corn, tobacco,sheep, cattle hogs, and other products. 1 am. impressed also by the relatively great increase in farm acreage during years, which is reported for a dozen counties in the South east corner of the state. During the last census period, this group of counties gained more than 16 percent in population. This com peres well even with the rather rapid population growth of the State of Georgia and is. a truly re markable showing when compared with the bare 3 percent gained by the rural population of the coun try as * whole. . Jjetween the two. census dates of 1910 and 1920, the valu’e'df fartnfand iri’Georgia rose from afreuV $1 4 tn to $35, or an increase of about 160 percent. 7h T « -harp rise in value Takng the same census pevi*i.

It is all right to talk about the ex ceptional resources and vitality of Georgia. This is more than a mat ter of local pride, for there are definite data which confirm the confidence and fortify the faith of those living in this favored state. It is all right to talk about the upward swing is revealed by the statistics of Georgia; there are clear indication that a forward movement is under way in the state. I remind you, however, that somewhat th'e same evidence might have presented a few years ago at the time of the great peak in national prosperity in 1919-20. Then as now, Georgia had great natural advantages. Then as now tHe State of Georgia showed plenty of evidence of ac tivity. I need not remind you what happened shortly after, when na tional business slid from the peak 'of prosperity to the depths of de pression. You recall only too clearly that no part of I,hV coun try was exempt from some share in the economic collapse. Hard times hit the Njxrfh, the South, the East, West. No locality was wholly immune. Therefore, I bripgf to your attention this most vital of factors in the outlook, namely, the trend of general busi ness. In 1919-20 the country was ap proaching a period of depression. At the present time the country is on the eve of a period of prosperi ty, of moderate proportions. There is all the difference in thte world between these two situations. Therefore, I say, base your optim ism not merely on comparative statistics and not merely on local statistics, but chiefly upon funda mental statistics. These fundmental statistics indi cate that the excesses and»abnor malties of the war time and post war boom have been in large part counter-balanced by the economy and efficiency of the past few years. The foundation has been laid for a new period of national prosperity. Tho for certain tech nical reasons I believe this period will be of moderate proportions, it will offer real opportunities. Unless the nation is in sound con dition and headed for prosperity, no locality can hope for the fullest measure of activity and success; but with fundamental conditions shaping in the right direction I am looking for good times for the South, and for Georgia. Yes, I am sure of it if the leaders will cling to that religious faith which is the great back log of Southern progress. Mr- Babson’s statement is that of a conservatvie man who deals in figures only—in statistics. His conclusion are not influenced by a selfish desire, by State pride, and for these reasons they may be taken as authoritative. ¥¥ ¥ ¥ Your Duty As a, Citizen — A good-sized city in the mid dle west is about to hold a rather important ctiy election. So heated are the issues, so sharp is the di-1 viding lines between the opposing factions, that every effort has, been made to register as large a! percentage of the qualified voters' as possible. Both party organi- | zation have worked to get out the vote; so have civic organizations. | Result? A registration of about; sixty percent of the qualified vot ers; an unusually large registra-| tion that pleases ell sides. And right there is the reason why popular government in this country is what it is. Why do we have cheap poli ticians, incompetents, demagog ues, tricksters in public office? Be cause such men can get away with ( it when half of the population, won’t take the ff-oiible to vote. | If you don't keep informed, about candidates and issue? ■And don’t bother to vote on them when you are informed you have 1 absolutely no right to complain over the state of politics in youj. “ v - state and nation. ’'The lernedy rests with the vot ers.

There’s rhythm and rhyme in the jazz of today, and the lively songs fill you with pep. We’ll jump to our feet when they start in to play, and with vigor and vim keep in step. It’s good for the system to keep up the spirit that comes from a modern day song. We buble right over whenever we hear it, and likely go smiling along. But, nevertheless, it’s a pretty safe guess, to remark that the songs of the old, still live in their part, pretty close tc the heart, when the story is truthfully told. The jazz has its place but it ne’er can erase, all the love songs that folks used to play. There once came a thrill, and it lingers here still, through the songs of our granmother’s days. Such a substance would be alive, i and all the rest of life would be ; merely a variation of it. Considering life on its physical side alone,*it is probably that th'- sun is our literal physical ancestor. It is certainly the present source of the physical forcess whose combina tion we call physical life. 17) SIMS One man thinks one thing is wrong. Another man thinks another thing is wrong.

It would start in my iiack and sides. Part of the time I was in bed and when up I didn't feel like doing anything or going anywhere. "Life wasn’t any pleasure. I was very pale.

I took two bottles, then I noticed an im provement I kept on and found it was helping me. I have taken nine bottles.
