AMERICAN PRESS A.sSOCi ATION McDonough, Ga., Feb. 25, 1921 Grey hairs are always respect ed —when they are rich. It is more blessed to give than to receive, especially if it is a lick ing. A woman who nags should nev er complain when her husband scolds. A popular man seldom talks about himself. That makes him more popular. Some men are inveterate jokers, which leads one to infer that they are born jokes. If you would be happy, just for get the tilings that make you un happy. Simple, isn’t it? At least one thing can be said in favor of American profiteers. They are experts in their line. One of the best forms of life insurance is the use of a tooth brush morning, noon and night. A hearty laugli is like a ray of sunshine on a winter day. Can you qualify for the compliment? France has invented a new gun capable of shooting two hundred miles, and not a tiling to shoot at. What luck! Of course, there may be those who pay their income taxes in order to be able to talk about it afterwards. Every day brings forth new problems for us to face, but night usually comes before we can get around to it. Japanese statesmen are urging disarmament. Good, Jappy! We nominate you to lead the van— but you won’t, ' We note the absence of one un failing sign of tlie approach of spring—that dreamy youth with a poem for publication. No, this country is not short on money. The only shortage that exists is in the ability of certain people to get hold of it. Most any man can save money if he wants to, provided he does not travel the pace of a millionaire on the wage of a laborer. Yes, we are anfadvocate of un iversal disarmament, provided it begins with our American crop of thieves, thugs and holdup men. W e once heard of a preacher who was warmly admired and supported by his entire flock. He never woke his congregation up during his sermons. It is openly hinted that labor and capital will soon be pulling together, but nothing is said as to whether they will both be pulling in the same direction. Railroads of the country are planning for a reduction in the wage scale. Presumably the scheme is to begin at the bottom and forget to reach the top. Flavor! No cigarette has the same delicious flavor as Lucky Strike. Because— Its toasted LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE The dollar, we are told, is slow ly but surely regaining its ohi time purchasing power. And in time, we presume, it wall wake up and begin to purchase again. - When you get tired of selecting the members of Mr. Harding’s cabinet for him, you might devote a little time to deciding what you will plant in your garden this spring. Harding won’t care. French bachelors are to be tax ed to aid the babies of the bene dicts, says a news item, But don’t rush precipitately into matrimony, young man. Take time, make a wise selection, and keep what you get. This is not France. ■ - /' i .

I'he practical question is: “How can the planter reduce his production with other reasonable sub- % r stitutes ami make it pay?” The answer is by raising a small acreage of -A- O* LOBUnoa cotton but of better quality and more per acre, if you can demand a Sense AdVlC'* for premium on your crop by virtue of a better grade and staple, you have , ° the advantage of a greater money return per acre minus the' disadvantage the I hoUghttlll of a large production cost per pound*. The wise conclusion is to plant the Firmpr best seed, l! you plant an ordinary shoddy variety you cannot expect * • more than a scrub crop. Coker's Pedigreed Seed produce the best results because they produce both quality and quantity. Our seed are bred by the —"v Nation's pioneer breeders of pedigreed cotton.

A Chicago paper avers that “given a pickle and a few mo ments of undisturbed time, a wo man can solve any problem on earth.” Give ’em a barrel, broth er, give ’em a barrel, and elect ’em all to congress. Just now the country is sorely in need of an army of solvers. One of the first acts of the new congress should be a revision of our immigration laws. With more than three million men now out of employment in this country one begins to wonder how the hun dreds of thousands pouring in from Europe are going to earn an honest living. There is nothing to be gained, by turning America into an international poor farm. 2¥3i!lion Packets Gf Flower Seeds Free We believe in flowers around the homes of the South.
