Will Teach Thrift
to School Children.
Two million school children in
the Southeast will receive a mes
sage direct from Secretary of the
Treasury, Glass, on October 3rd,
“National Thrift Day.”
The message will be an appeal
to the boys and girls to continue
“to practice and make permanent
those same habits of industry and
economy, that through your in
fluence and example America
may soon become a nation of
savers and cease to be a waste
ful nation.”
The same message will be read
in every school room in America,
The seventy thousand teachers
who will deliver the message to
the children in the Sixth Federal
Reserve District, will supplement
the Secretary's letter with a re
quest that children bring their
savings to school regularly once
a week so that their pennies,
nickels and dimes may he put
in Government Thrift and Sav
ings Stamps and returned to
them. A letter making this re
quest of the teachers has been
sent out by Silas W. Davis, Gov
ernment directer of savings of
this district.
Berrien Citizens Held

Green Luke, citizens of Berrien
county, were lodged in jail here

ing robbed the postofficeat Enig
ma, Ga., on Sept. 19. The safe
in the postoffke at Enigma was
blown open by robbers and a
considerable sum in money and
stamps obtained.
The arrest of the Lukes fol
lowed information furnished the ,

fore Commissioner 1). B. Small,

nefield. charged with complicity
in the robbery, is confined in the
Berrien county jail at Nashville
on a state charge, but is under
stood that lie will be turned over
to the federal authorities for a

No Need For Farmer to
Plant for Seed Corn.
This year’s corn, over most of
the United States, is good corn,
the kind of corn that a man can
plant with greatest assurance of
getting a good crop. There is no
knowing what next year’s corn
will be. It may be late, caught
by early frosts, soft, and unfit
for seed. The farmer who looks
ahead, say corn experts of the
United States Department of
Agriculture, will save enough
seed corn out of this crop to meet
his needs for two or, better still,
for three years.
The old erv, of course, will be
raised that there is not time at
this busy season to select seed
corn even for one year’s planting,
fb say nothing of two or three.
It does take time—but it takes
less time to select the corn now
than it will take spring after
next to scour the country for a
crib of old corn or, failing that,
to find seed farther south. For
tunately, the right way is the
least expensive and safest way.
Also, it enables the farmer to go
on growing the strain of corn
that has “made good.” instead
of getting something haphazard
that he knows nothing about.

It is certainly amusing to hear |
folks criticise the League of Na- j
tions and follow up the criticisms ,
by making the statement that
they know nothing of the object!
of such a covenant. —Milledge-
yille News.
If a man will stop to think, he
will find that failure to support
those progressive plans for the
benefit of our city in order that
he may save a little tax money is
a very short-sighted policy. Just
show us a place where there are
no taxes paid and we will show
you a dead place. If we want to
escape taxes we will have to go
to a wilderness or desert where !
there are no conveniences and no j
business. Let every man who,
loves Cochran and wants to see !
her grow vote for the bonds, and
get everybody else he can to do
the same. — Cochran Journal.
The Mayor of Milwaukee, the
place which a certain brand of
beverage is said to have made fa
mous, and which has a large Ger
man population, refuses to issue
an invitation to the King and
Queen of Belgium to visit his city,
stating that he*is “for the work
ing man.” Isn’t that a big hunk
of demagoguery. Everybody else
is for the working man and if
they have any sense they are for
capital, too. One is mutually de
pendent upon the other.—Adel
News.
An effort is now being made to
work up sentiment in Georgia in
favor of a state wide stock law,
and we don’t know but what it
would be a good idea. We have
had some doubt about the feasi
bility of the county no fence law,
but if we could have a law that
would make it state w ide it might i
be an advantage. Such a law’
certainly would mean better stock j
in the long run, but it might
work a hardship on the man that
has very little land.-Springfield
Herald.
If you have in mind doing big
things, do them right where you
are. They are just as easy to do
at home as they are to do at other
places, besides little things done
at home are appreciated more
than the average big things when
done among strangers. They
don’t know how to appreciate
you as they do at home. —Butler
Herald.
One of the compensations of
the newspaperman’s life is the
privilege of welcoming new set
tlers and boosting their business
and having them send to a neigh
boring price-cutter for their first
jobs of printing.— Metter Adver

When a man persists in doing a
wrong for which he has absolute- j
ly no excuse, he generally has a ;
conscience which can make an
excuse for him which is satisfac
tory unto itself. —Marietta Jour
nal.
If there is no other business
before the house we would like
to inquire what has become of
the old-fashioned midwife.—

J. C. Sullivan, a union labor or
ganizer, was landed in jail when
he went to Savannah to organize
the policemen there. The jail is
a good place for these gents, who
work not and who toil not. — Ly

It must be said with a great
deal of regret, that the national
