VOLUME 25, NUMBER 13.
HONOR to THE STATE
AND DR. — HOWARD ODUM
____
more than a few North
not know that this state has
" ^ cho0l 0 [ public Welfare.. Or, if they
ml it they have on iy the va
n otion of what the school teaches
U
) of "through its relation to North
■ ffovl legislation to strengthen
Tarheel life at its weakest points.
ire in fact, still too many citizens who
look upon social welfare as something
outside the jurisdiction of any govern
n-ont many “view with alarm” any
‘!- tie- * effort to banish disease and pov
ei ty, lower the figures of infant mortal
ity and give financial assistance to
widowed mothers struggling to make
their children strong physically and
give them an education.
There should, therefore, be especial
interest among North Carolinians in the
January number of the Annals of the
American Academy of Political and So¬
ria! Science, devoted to a review of
••Public Welfare in the United States”,
it was a pioneer undertaking, although
American interest in social science has
grown tremendously in recent years.
Casting about for a man competent to
make the first survey in the whole field
of public welfare work throughout
country, the editors of the Annals chose
Dr Howard W. Odum, Kenan
of Sociology, and Director of the School
of Public Welfare in the University of
North Carolina. The January issue is
edited by Dr. Odum; there are articles
by some of the foremost sociologists in
the United States; three of the contrib¬
utors are North Carolinians—Mrs. Kate
Burr Johnson, State Superintendent of
Public Welfare, J. A. Dickey and Jesse
F. Steiner.
Those fairly well informed on North
Carolina’s endeavor for “making democ¬
racy effective in the unequal places”,
as Dr. Odum expresses it, know' that
their state is one of the dozen common¬
wealths that have reached advanced po¬
sitions in the theory and application of
social science. It is encouraging, as
well as gratifying, to have this North
Carolina achievement recognized by the
American Academy.—Asheville Citizen.

GRADUATES
........— WIN HIGH --------- HONORS
Gainesville, Ga., March 7.—Three ca¬
dets now at Riverside Military Acad¬
emy, who will graduate this year, will
go direct to West Point in Annapolis
on the certificate of this institution, it
was announced by faculty members
here today.
All of the three boys are Georgians.
They are Gardner Patrick, of Pulaski;
appointed to Annapolis by the late
Senator Thomas E. Watson; Barney
Daughtry, of Register, appointed to
West Point by Senator W. F. George;
and L. H. Chappell, Jr., of Columbus,
appointed to Annapolis by Congressman
Wright.
Each of the boys will be accepted in
the government academies on the cer¬
tificate of Riverside, thus making it
unnecessary that they stand an exam¬
ination for entrance. They will report
to West Point or Annapolis as soon as
they complete their work here in May.
Riverside has sent a large number of
boys to West Point and Annapolis in
the last few years, all of whom have
maintained fine records.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
We can never be quite certain wheth¬
er a law is a good one or not till it has
been enforced. Merely writing it in our
code does not prove its value to society.
If a law is a bad one the surest and
quickest way to have it repealed is to
enforce it very strictly. This will soon
show to society that it is a bad law
and then there will be a demand for
its repeal.
In the enforcement of law' we have
three things in mind. Society must be
protected. We speak of personal liber¬
ties. but we must remember that every
other person has personal liberties. We
have laws to regulate personal liberties
so that there will be no conflicts.
There are a great many things we
might do if there were no other people
in the world but us. If you were the
only person who used the streets you
might run your car sixty miles per
hour. But to do so you are making the
lives of other people unsafe. In a coun¬
try all by yourself you might get
drunk and emtpy your pistol as many
times as you cared to do so. But tt
would hardly be safe where there are
so many people. So it becomes necessa¬
ry for us to have certain laws and en¬
force them, to keep us from interfer¬
ing with the other fellow'. Living in
society as we do, we must surrender
any ideas of personal liberties when
they interfere with the rights of oth¬
ers.
In the enforcement of law' we must
have in mind the younger generation.
We want the next generation to have
respect for law. We can not hope to
have this w'ithout we show the proper
respect for law. If they grow' up with
the idea that the law is sacred and
that the violator must pay the penalty,
they will respect the law'. But if they
grow up with the idea that the only
wrong is in getting caught and that is
very easy to keep from getting caught,
they will have no respect for law.
But W’e must consider the one who
violates the law’. It is very easy to ar¬
rest him and keep him locked up for
a period of time. But have we made
him a better citizen by it? Does he
have any more respect for law’ than he
had before? Every prison should be
somewhat of a reformatory. This does
not mean that he should not be pun¬
ished for his crime. But there is a re¬
sponsive chord in every heart and
while the punishment is being admin¬
istered might we not have some agen¬
cy to find this responsive chord. Send
him back to society with a respect for
law and with a proper respect for
every member of the society in which
he lives.
When every man realizes that if he
violates the law he will most surely
be brought to justice, there will not be
so many violations. In the few' cases
where the law is violated, if they are
punished sufficiently and in a way
that will make them have the highest
respect for law’, we will soon need very
few officers to enforce the law’.—Com¬
merce News.

PERMANENT PROSPERITY
The Vidalia Kiw'anis Club at their
meeting on Monday night had as their
guest Mr. Joe Todd, a progressive far¬
mer living near the city. In a short talk
Mr. Todd told of the success he has had
with the dairy cow, the hog and the
hen in getting his farm in a permanent
prigram of prosperity.
Srarting out with three cows, aided
by a local bank to buy four others, with
a splendid permanent pasture, which
takes care of his cows from March until
late fall, with velvet beans for winter
pasturage, raising his own feed, this
farmer is realizing $00 per month from
his sale of cream, is building up his
farm, and finds that this side line is
fast putting him on the road to easy
street.
AYe believe this farmer has found
the path that will lead Georgia to un¬
told agricultural wealth and a prosper¬
ity greater than any of which w r e have
ever dreamed. The dairy cow has never
yet failed to make any section rich; the
little country of Holland, the bleak
states of New' York, Wisconsin and
Minnesota have, through their dairying
industry made their sections rich, their
farmers independent, their business
men prosperous, their banks mighty in
resources and wealth. And here in
South Georgia, with low labor costs,
w’ith year-round pastures, with no need
for expensive buildings, but w'ith the
farmer receiving as much for butter
fat as the Wisconsin farmer does, we
can make tw’o dollars for every one the
northern farmer manes from his butter
fat factory—the dairy cow.
Dallas county, Alabama, and Turner
county, Georgia, have blazed the way
for the southern states. Here in Toombs
and Montgomery counties there are also
many progressive farmers showing
that this is the road to prosperity for
our section.—Vidalia Advance.

CLUB NOTES FOR MARCH
To date 55 have signed up to set
three settings of pure bred eggs this
spring. This is going to be a good start
for Newton county boys and girls.
Now just a word about feeding the
baby chicks:
Chicks must not be fed under 48
hours from the time they are hatched.
The yolk of the egg, which the chick
takes into its body just before it is
hatched, is provided by nature to fur¬
nish food during this length of time.
If additional food is given, diarrhea and
other digestive troubles are likely to re¬
sult. The first feed should be sour milk.
Every hen that is not laying March
15th should be sold, as they will bring
a good price.
Let’s not forget to plant enough this
spring to make our chinken feed at
home and save many dollars. A good
feed made at home is as follows:
A mash that should be kept before
the hens all the time:
100 pounds corn meal.
100 pounds ground oats,
100 pounds wheat shorts,
100 pounds wheat bran,
80 pounds meat scrap.
A scratch feed that should be fed
twice a day:
100 pounds cracked corn,
100 pounds oats,
100 pounds wheat.
This should be fed at the rate of 10
to 12 pounds to 100 hens. Just keep in
mind that the hen that makes silver
out of sand, turns grain into gold, and
grass into greenbacks.
Canning Club girls, begin working
with corn muffins and biscuit, by the
recipe 1 sent you. Those recipes will
be used in the bread contest this year.

THE FUNERAL OF
LORENE BOUCHILLON
The funeral of Lorene Bouchillon, the
twelve year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. B. A. Bouchillon, took place in the
North Covington Methodist church Sat¬
urday afternoon at three o’clock, Rev.
W. H. LaPrade officiating.
The music, under the direction of Mrs
E. M. Smith, was tenderly impressive.
“Jewels” was sung by the members of
the little girl’s Sunday School class, and
“In the Garden” was rendered by her
teachers in the Covington public school,
with members of the church choir.
The flowers were many and beautiful,
tokens from school mates and sorrow¬

Lorene was the second child of Mr.

w'inter she had suffered an attack of in¬
fluenza, which later developed into in¬
fantile paralysis. All that skill could
do was employed, but to no avail. APer
lingering for tw'o weeks the frail little
body yielded its soul to God.
Lorene was lovely in disposition, was
bright and hopeful, even unto the end,
and had a faith strong and abiding.
