Begin now and you will realize the Wisdom of doing so aa the weeks roll by l THE MUSINGS OF THREE SCORE YEARS AND TEN I have often stated in private and public that I never allow myself to live in the past. I try to live in the present and dwell upon the oppor tunities of the future. But I find, occasionally, that my mind will run back over the days of my boyhood and wonder what youth would have been predicated upon the experiences of mature old age. W’hen I was fifteen I was satisfied that my parents were domineering and wrong, and that I had the proper viewpoint of life. I could not un derstand why I was required to work (?) five days in the week in the school room, and then be required to labor the greater part of the sixth day along with the niggers. I could not understand why I should not be allowed to frolic and spend the day in the “wash” hole down in the old Tobler creek, or wander through the swamps and climb up in those trees where the luscious muscadines hung in such inviting clusters, even at the risk of arm or neck. I wanted to meet Jim and Harry down at the branch and paddle up and down the stream and come home late in even ing muddy and wet. I was denied so many things I wanted and compelled to do so much that I thought a bur den and unnecessary. My parents were old fogy and I had the correct viewpoint. When I reached the age of twenty one and came home with that sheep skin (Diploma) from my Alma Mater I knew that I was “it.” Live in the country or in a small town!—not me. Bury my brilliant lights under a bushel!—nothing was so far from my ideas. I knew beyond question that my equipment was superior to that of any other human being. I was surprised that the world did not stop and study and contemplate that prodigy of intellect that had been turned loose among such ignorant and ordinary beings. I wondered why I was not consulted and asked to direct the affairs of the communi ty because of my superior equip ment. I knew no other human be ing was so perfectly equipped to lead as I was. That my advice was not sought—that I was not importuned to take charge and direct —that any one should fail to recognize my im portance —was the disappointment of my young manhood. • When I reached the age of thirty I began to doubt my being the only pebble on the beach. _ I began to realize that the other fellow was at least equipped with a moderate amount of intellect and was entitled to some consideration. I noticed oc casionally a man who seemed to be my equalt I began to notice where others succeeded, I failed. I began to wonder if my viewpoint was not the wrong one. I even condescended to learn a few things from observa tion. I knew that I was right and was very well satisfied with myself, but I began to realize that I had no monopoly on those qualifications which constituted a man. I began to sit up and take notice of things and men, and realize that my diploma was only a certificate that I could enter the school of experience and observation without a prelimi nary examination only certified that I knew my A, B, C’s and could count 100, and do simple addition. When I arrived at the mature age of young manhood and my birthdays numbered forty, I began to take stock of myself and attempt a trial balance. No internal revenue re port was equal to it. I had such a large stock of failures and wrong ideas that the debit column ran away with me. The only way I could balance was to credit myself with a truck load of experiences and observations. It seemed to me that every man among my associates was better equipped than I was. I had a desire to advise with my fellows. I =ought advice from older he&ds and tried to get their viewpoint. I I found something good in every one, a valuable lesson to be learned in observing others and attempting to profit by their experiences. When I reached the fifty mile post I knew beyond any question that egotism, selfishness and bigotry are the besetting sins of humanity. Un fortunately it takes forty or fifty years experience for one to find out that the world is full of people equal to, if not better, than ourselves. A few may reach this much desired conclusion ere they pass the forty mile post, but my observation has been that the majority rarely attain that high standard of manhood and womanhood until they have been purified hi the fymace of experience and suffering. For we are a very small unit in the vast army of hu man beings, and only those reach the goal of destination who give more than they receive and bury self in the service of mankind. Now, as I stand within sight of the three score years and ten mile post, I wonder what a great world we would have if we could hand down to the young the benefit of our years of experience and observation. How many parents have desired to do this, but it seems ordained that each life must work out its own sal vation, and fortunate is he or she who grasps the real purpose of life before the opportunity has passed. The viewpoint at seventy is cleared and mellowed by a life of work, sac rifice and suffering, and nothing is worthwhile save that which conserves the best interests of our fellows as well as ourselves. The sweetest part of mature manhood and womanhood is the realization of the fact that the more we live for others the more life we have for ourselves. Our own personal habits and viewpoints are potent factors in determining our ex pectancy, and in so far as we bury self in the service of others, just so far do we make life worth living. Wmild that we could appropriate these facts in early life, for then old age would be beyond ninety, and man and woman would be in their prime physically and mentally at three score years and ten. Fortu nate indeed is he or she who realizes in youth that it is more blessed to give than receive and that thru the channel of sacrifice comes satisfac tion, happiness and contentment that makes life worthwhile. Less than one percent of humanity get rich. And that one percent would give all their riches for health, happiness and contentment. He or she only is rich who has appropriated experience, suf fering and observation in such man ner as to enable and elevate and help conserve the best interest of the com munity in which they live. When we have reached this much desired state of mind and heart, we have reached the goal of real life and should rest content and let it go at that. A. O. MURPHEY. TIME TO QUIT TRADING DOLLARS HASTINGS DECLARES THAT PRES ENT SOUTHERN FARM SYSTEM GETS-US NOWHERE Atlanta, Ga.— (Special.)—"lt's time for every Southern farmer who clings to the all, or nearly all, cotton idea to do a lot of Btraight thinking before he pitches his 1925 crop. Most of our cotton farmers are trading dollars and losing at that three years out of four,” said H. G. Hastings, leading agricultural authority and Chairman of the Farm and Marketing Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. “For the past two years Providence has stepped in and saved us from the results of our own folly. In 1923 we planted thirty-nine million acres of cotton; in 1924 forty million acres. In each of these years there was acre age enough to have made, with even fair season conditions, sixteen to eigh teen million bales and a ten-cent pTice or less with the inevitable farm smash that such price would bring.” Provi dence cannot be depended on indefi nitely to bring unfavorable seasons and cut down yield per acre. We Btepped up a couple of million bales in 1924, and, by so doing, the South has lost about three hundred million dollars that have come right out of the farm pocket. . “In spite of these danger signals flying in every cotton state, plans are being made everywhere to in* crease cotton acreage in 1925. This can only be done at the expense Of cutting down food and grain acres at a time when food and grain is high and going higher every week. "I am no alarmist, but the present tendency, the intent to plant the whole face of the earth in cotton this spring that is so evident gives me grave con cern. *lf the boll weevil or drought don't cut the 1926 crop, starvation low prices.will get the cotton grower. The situation looks just as hazardous to me as in 1920, unless the craze for in creased cotton acreage can be headed off somehow. Growing cotton and buying bread meat and grain is simply trading dol lars, or worse. It never is profitable. Most years it’s a losing game. There is only one way to safeguard 1925 Plan for and plant enough food, grain and forage acres to insure your family and live stock full food supply with out buying from store or feed dealer. In this don’t forget that a good big home garden is a wonderful food source* With food and live stock amply provided for, a good living it insured, regardless of cotton prices.'

Mr. Hempstead shows that the dis parity that has existed for several years between the income of agricul ture and the income of industrial and commercial enterprises is gradually being corrected and the inevitable economic swing that must make these values balance is clearly in progress. “While those who expected a great immediate revival of buying from agricultural sources as a result of re cent rises in farm products have been somewhat disappointed,” Mr. Hemp stead said, “it is pointed out that farmers have been paying off old notes and settling old accounts, and this process, of course, is establishing a sound basis for the future and is just what should be done in order to prepare the foundation of real prosperity.” Mr. Hempstead calls attention to the fact that the last few months have been marked by renewed activi ties in many industries, and particu larly in those industries that had suf fered unusual depression. o Habitual Constipation Cured in 14 to 21 Days "LAX-FOS WITH PEPSIN” is a specially prepared SyrupTonic-Laxative for Habitual Constipation.
