INTERESTING STATISTICS
According to the Catholic Directory,
the number of Catholics in the United
States is 18,260,793. According to the
statistics of the Federal Council of
Churches, the number of Catholics is
18,104,804, the number of Methodists,
23.253.854, the number of Baptists
22,869,098, the number of Lutherans,
7.043.854, and the number of Presbyte¬
rians 6,726,598. The smaller denomina¬
tions are not given, but one would in¬
fer that they together with the Luther¬
ans and Presbyterians would outnum¬
ber the Catholics; and the Methodists
alone or the Baptist alone outnumber
the Catholics.—Macon Telegraph.
The above statistics are thoroughly
reliable, being compiled by the Federal
Council of Churches.
They are interesting in that they
knock in the head the dangerous
propaganda being passed out by the
ku-klux klan and a certain class of in¬
cendiary publications, which Is done,
of course, for the money there is in it.
Peddling lies sometmies proves profita¬
ble.
According to the Federal Council of
Churches there are in the United
States only 18,104,804 Catholics. Ac¬
cording to the Catholic Directory there
are 18,260,793, and yet a few blatant
ignoramuses go up and down the high¬
ways and byways proclaming that nine¬
ty per cent of the American newspa¬
pers are controlled by Catholics. They
also go further and say the public
schools are menaced by the Catholics.
The figures above presented are
best answer to such barefaced
hoods, unless the Protestants want
admit that they are inferior,
and helpless in the presence of
Catholic brethren.

OTHERS IN THAT
CLASS,
The editor of a country paper recent¬
ly reported that he received a news
item from one of his many painstaking
correspondents. The item read to the
effect that a bride in the neighborhood
had excited considerable comment
among the neighbors by kneeding bread
with her gloves on.
The editor, seizing upon the opportu¬
nity presented, used the item in his pa¬
per, adding as an appendix, “The edi¬
tor of this paper needs bread with his
shoes on, he also needs it with his
clothes on, but if some of the delin¬
quent subscribers don’t pay up pretty
soon, he will need bread without a darn
thing on.”—Marietta Journal.

facial expression
Q iUITE as much as his courteous
words is the way he looks when
he says them that makes a man’s po¬
liteness truly effective. The only time
when your "please” doesn't have to
be backed up by a kindly look in your
face is when you are talking over the
telephone, but then It is essential
that your tone of voice should carry
assurance of kindliness. And it Is al
most impossible to speak In a pleas
ant tone without looking pleasant.
Try sometime for your own __ amuse- _____
ment to assume a "grouchy” expres
sion and at the same time repeat some!
such courteous expression as: "Thank .
you very much.” or “You are very kind, j
I’m sure, ’ or even Please, in a thoi
oughly amiable tone of voice. Per¬
haps you can do it but most persons
can’t and It Is jnst as hard to speak in
a harsh or haughty or cantankerous
maimer when your facial expression is
entirely pleasant.
But In your desire to wear a well
disposed expression don’t go to the
extreme of having a smile that won’t
come off. There are some people
who go about with this sort of chron¬
ic smile, who look as If the only way
they could endure the discomfort they
were enduring was by a heroic effort
to smile, and of course that sort of
expression makes other people uncom¬
fortable. Then there Is the smile
that makes us feel that the one who
wears It Is always amused In an aloof
sort of way at whatever w’e said or
did. The woman who bears that sort
of indelible smile—or grin, perhaps
It should be called—when she calls
on us looks as if she were Immensely
amused at the furniture, at the pic¬
tures on the wall, and at the way we
were dressed.
No, we don’t want to have any of
these annoying stereotype smiles hut
the smile that Is jnst an expression
of kindness of heart which is the
basis of all good breeding.
“I am annoyed hy being very self
conscious whenever I mingle with
people whom I do not know very
well.” writes a young reader. “And
when I feel this way I know I look
very self-conscious. How can I get
rid of this self-conscious expression
that seems to repel people from me?”
We all have seen this self-conscious
expression, 1 am sure, and though
perhaps it does not repel it certainly
does not attract us. Well, the only
way to get rid of it Is to get rid of
the self-consciousness. Usually young
people outgrow it. It is seldom that
any one continues to feel self-con
scions when he or she becomes ac
eustomed to mingling with other per
sons. The only thing to do Is to try
to become absorbed In some
subject of thought than

THE DRIFTING TIDE
The migration of people from the
farms and small cities to the industrial
plants in the large cities, if it contin¬
ues unchecked, will create a labor
shortage on the farms, meaning de¬
creased agricultural production and
higher prices for farm products. The
swing of the pendulum is going on.
Sooner or later it will swing the other
way. The day is coming when the drift
be back from the cities to the
farm. A period of high prices for agri¬
products will hasten the re¬
turn to the farm. Just now there' is

It is doubted very much if anything
be done to check the migration

OVERPRODUCTION OF CHICKENS
We have actually begun to hear some
apprehension already of an overpro¬
duction of chickens and eggs in Geor¬
gia. As long as the United States i9 buy¬
ing annually fifty-six million dozens of
eggs from China, we think the appre¬
hensions are not well founded. As long
as Georgia imports millions of dozens
eggs a year from Tennessee and other
states we have little to fear of an over¬
production in poultry. Lavonia should
do a chicken business of a thousand
dollars a day. A dollar’s worth of poul¬
try products every day from a thous¬
and homes would turn the trick.—La¬

GOOD WORKS
When a man is engaged in a work
that is beneficial to his fellow man; that
provides food, raiment or shelter, cr
in some way administers to human
needs, he is doing something that God
will honor and bless. A man’s works,
they testify of him. If you think any¬
thing of yourself you cannot afford to
be employed with a task that does in¬
jury to anybody. “By their fruit ye
shall know them,” it was Jesus who
said, “The works that I do, they tes¬
tify of me.” And so does every man's
work, and his case will finally be de¬
cided according as his works were
good or evil.—Exchange.
