At the called term of the city court held at Ly ons last Monday, business of the court was delayed through the failure of a number of citizens to res pond to summons to serve as jurors. We are told that attachments had to be sworn out for both ju rors and witnesses before it was possible to try 6ome important cases pending in the court. We have noticed in Toombs county for some time a disrespect and a disregard for the lawful summons of the courts. If a man summoned to serve as a juror does not lind it convenient to at tend, lie remains away from the court. The court calls his name, notes that so many jurors are miss ing and the sheriff is instructed to pick up a suffi cient number of jurors to make out the panels. Scores of citizens find that the summons to jury service can lie disregarded and as a result respect for our courts is broken down, the work of the courts is hampered and lack of respect for law is engendered. In a democracy like ours, our courts should be looked on with reverence and respect, and unless our courts are respected and the summons of a court obeyed, a widespread disrespect and disre gard for law is sure to follow. The judges of our courts have a sacred and solemn duty, not only to see that crimes are punished, wrongs righted, jus tice administered, the weak protected, but to up hold respect for the court and inculcate and enforce obedience to its mandates and summons. To per mit a disregard of the summons of a court to ap pear as a witness or to do jury duty, is to do infi nite damage to our American institutions and is to allow the weeds of disrespect for law to flower and flourish. • x EDUCATION MAKES BIG MONEY RETURN. Let us take a boy who leaves school at four teen and another who continues his education until he is eighteen, and see how both stand at the age* of twenty-six. Will tin- salary made in twelve’ years by the boy who left school at fourteen equal the eiglit years salary made by the hoy who con tinues his education until lie is eighteen? Figures complied by the United States Bureau of Educa tion show that at twenty-five years of age the hoy who finished high school is not only getting a bet ter yearly salary, but lias made a larger total sum of money than the hoy who started to work four years earlier. Here is the proof that education pays: learnings per week of children who left school at 14 and IS years of age, or end of grammar and high school: $4.00 14 4.50 15 5. (X) 16 6. (X) 17 7.

At the age of 25 the high school boy was mak ing S9OO a year more than the hoy with only a grammar school education. This is equivalent to 5 per cent interest on SIB,OOO. From 25 years of age on the salary of the bet ter educated boy will continue to rise more rapidly for in fact even at this age the increase in the salary of the grammar school boy has slowed down very perceptibly. Although the wages now paid are much higher than when these figures were complied, the com parison remains applicable. Moreover, while the value of high school education is here given in terms of cash salaries, we believe the same prin ciples will hold good on the farm. The farmer with the better trained mind will not only get more out of li/e but make larger farm profits. I Better insist that John go on back to school this fall. —Progressive Farmer. 1 x ADVICE WORTH LISTENING TO. Speaking before the Vidalia Kiwanis Club on Monday night, Dr. J. W. Palmer of Ailey, one ot the strong physicians of this section, made an ap peal for the adoption of the Lllis Health Law by the three counties of Montgomery, Toombs and Treutlen, which we hope will bear fruit and be en dorsed by citizens as these three counties. This proposal, we understand, has been endors ed by the medical association of these counties, and when the reputable physicians of a county en dorse a measure looking to the prevention of dis ease and conserving the health of the people, it is indeed advice worth listening to. As we have pointed out before, the three coun ties of Montgomery, Toombs and 1 reutlen have a total area and total population about equal to a number of the larger counties of the state, which are well served by a Health Commissioner. There is no reason then why these three counties could not unite and employ one health commissioner and 1 1,us cut the cost of the work one-third what the cost would amount to if each county had a separate commissioner. The Ellis Health Law provides for regular pe riodic examination of the school children and these examinations reveal a large per cent of the children suffer from adenoids, from bad tonsils, from defec tive vision or hearing, from many other troubles that are easily corrected. Correction of these troubles during childhood mean a healthy life for the child, where otherwise there would have been sickness, incapacity and suffering. We believe the Health Commissioner in the good he can do through the examination of school children more than earns ; his salary, not to speak of the work he does in stamping out preventive diseases over the terri tory which he serves. ’ We arc anxious to sec these three counties take this great forward step. Our people are not apt; to go wrong if thy listen to their physicians, who are trying to stamp out sickness and disease. X A GOOD MOVE. Thirty-five of the leading business and profes sional men of Lyons have united to form what will probably he called the Lyons' Builders Club, meet ing to i>e held every two weeks at which time a luncheon will be served, and the purpose of the chib being to foster and promote different objects for the upbuilding of their home community. We regard this as a splendid move and feel sure that the coming together of these business and profes sional men. with the purpose of serving the best interests of their town and county, will be produc tive of untold good. Such an organization should be formed by the citizens of Mt. Vernon and Ailey. The interests of the se two towns are practically identical and a bi-monthly meeting of their leading citizens to dis- I cuss matters of common interest looking to the upbuilding of their section and their county would do much to stimulate progress along all lines.
