IF YOU WANT MOrtfc. f-KIEND
SHIPS, TRY THIS PLAN
Farmers do not live close togethe.,
or see each other as frequency as*
they would natuially like to do.
because of this fact, the tanner
should make a special effort, should
put himself eut, as it were, in order
to develop friendships —for among
the worthwhile things of life, friend
ships coant for much more than
money. ,
A generation ago hundreds of
thousands of Southern farmers h-d
developed an almost unrivaled int*-
jnacy of friendship and comradeship,
based on having lived and marched
and camped and fought together lor
four years a. soldiers of the Confed
eracy. These Civil War veterans
■were almost like brothers. The brief
er World War, while it developed the
same spirit among many of our
younger men, did not last long c
nough nor effect enough people, to
produce anything like the results the
Civil War did in this respect.
The simple fact is therefore that
if the Southern farmer today is to
enjoy the friendships needed for the
greatest happiness, he must actively
seek to develop these fiiendships.
And we confess that We know no
better way to develop farmer friend
ships than through the organizations
of clubs such as th e one we recently
described as l aving been in operat
ion for forty years in Bartow Coun
ty, Georgia. A dozen farmers have
simply come togethet and agreed to
meet once a month (meeting at the
homes of the members in rotation,
probably alphabetical rotation), have
dinner together, and then arrange
to buy and sell together so far as
they wish.
We can’t help feeling that nearly
every Progressive Farmer subscriber
has eleven friends, neighbors, and
kinsfolk who would gladly join with
him in organizing such a club, nd
make them all happier, morn pro
gressive, and .norv prosperous.
Isn’t it worin trying?—The Pro
gressive Farmer.
“RED MOSELEY S MUSINGS”
Spring time is here with her halm
and green,
Got cabbage, onions, lettuce, Eng
lish peas but not a bean.
We ain’t goin’ to call no names,
but more work and less conversation
about it and a better country.
When we Georgia editors get in
N. Y. and smell ’em cookin’ cab
water and Biilv Bacon from Madison
will be on hand.
J. F. Shannon says Rush Burton
gets out a good paper. Well, Rush
can say as much for Shannon.
Habersham County has voted to
exempt taxes on certain industries
for a period of five years from be
ginning of construction, only six
Wites being cast against it in the
county. This county is growing rap
idly and has now made step to go
forward rapidly. Suppose we stop
and think a minute along this line.
We haven’t a single manufacturing
industry in the county and while
other counties around make such
worthwhile efforts to secure them,
our chances become less. Lt’s
wake up folks. We are letting e
rough good water power go to waste
to make us wealthy
Peach blossom time in Fort Valley,
apple blossom time in Clarkesville,
convention time all the time in At
lanta and Gardening time m Dan
ielsville.
We sympathize with Lexington in
her great fire loss. Yet the enter
prising citizens will very early re
build and take on new life. Old
Shackelford will be on the job too.
Jefferson lost her M. E. ehurcn
by fire recently. They will rebuild
at once. We notice a Baptist has
headed the subscription list. We
have heard of “watered stock” in
corporations—but not of watered
donations.
It is said the Ford auto and trurk
faitories turn out 7,436 cars and
trucks per dry. Don’t know whether
the fhctories run day and night or
not—hut the car3 do.
Wo continually hear that automo
biles are ruining the country. Mam
hone lowed as how it is the one tlriv
in’ ’em about that kicked up the dev
ilment. He was right—loud.
Talkin’ is talkin’ and farmin’ is
farmin’—Let’s farm awhile.
If you love your neighbor, prove
it to him once—he will feel better.
A little act of kindness now and then
Is relished by the worst of men.

EUGENISTS MEAN WELL, BUT—
EARTH,—BIG ALMA MATER
WHY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
BUT CAN YOU ENFORCE IT?
The eugenists in the birth con
trol convention plan for a better
race by “artificial selection,” which
would mean picking the right hus
band for the right wife.
You can do that with cows,
horses, etc. But with them you
only breed a body. Among hu
man beings you produce that very
mysterious thing called a soul, and
that's different.
You might marry a John L. Sul
livan to Hypatia, or a Michael
Angelo Moses to the Venus of
Milo, and be bitterly disappointed
in results.
On the other hand, a tall, fierce
country girl, Nancy Hanks, prob
ably unable to read or write, mar
ries a local ne’er do well, and the
result is Abraham Lincoln. The
Lord seems to reserve for him
self certain problems.
Harvard will spend $12,000,000
to improve the study of agricul
ture. That’s sensible.
English-speaking nations study
Latin and Greek* The Romans
studied Greek. The Greek philoso
phers studied the Egyptian lan
guage and hieroglypnics. Millions
are spent teaching many kinds of
knowledge little used after the
student leaves school.
It is about time to begin study
ing seriously old Mother Earth, the
original Alma Mater from which
we Spring, upon which we depend
absolutely during life, and to
which we all return.
In Paris, a young girl, fifteen
years old, Irene Laurent, evidently
of the Madame Curie type, has
produced anew fuel for automo
bile engines.* It is made from su
gar, and is cheaper and more ef
ficient than any substitute for gas-
C;ir db-covered.
If events Justify the prediction
of Professor Haldfcne that chem
istry will soon*nake sugar as
cheap as sawdust, the gasoline
problem may temporarily be solved
by “sugar power.
Religious organizations, con
vinced that public schools should
include religious training in the
daily routine, demand that the Ten
Commandments be read to the
children at least once a week.
Wouldn’t "The Sermon on the
Mount” be better reading for
children than the Ten Command
ments? In a general way every
child of ten knows of the Ten Com
mandments, or as many as a child
should understand.
Two or three of the Command
ments are fortunately not neces
sary to the child up to fifteen.
Why not leave religion to relig
ious teachers, and public school
education to public school teachers,
and keep the two separate, which
has been the American plan thus
far?
A man, just dead, was at one
time a clergymen in the Protes
tant Episcopal Church. Later he
belonged to the Greek Orthodox
Church,.and when he died he was
one of the Gray Friars in a Roman
Catholic monastery.
You admire such earnest seek
ing after truth and wonder what
this man of'three religions learned
about religion when he passed over
to the other world. >
Did he find that only one religion
is officially recognized above, or is
one better than the others, or does
it all depend on how you act to
ward your fellow man, the Creator
of the* Universe not being so much
interested in what you think about
Him? Definite answers would be
interesting.
President Coolidpe says the
States should help the national
Government to enforce the dry
law. So they should, out of re
spect for Constitution and law.
But while the necessary seventy
five per cent of the States ratified
the Constitutional Amendment,
nearly one hundred per cent violate
it, and their juries sympathize with
the violators.
The question for the President
and the nation is this: How can
the use of whiskey be stamped
out? What is to be done to stop
drunkenness and open drinking of
bootleg whiskey among school
children? Prohibition seems to
have put millions in this nation on
a whiskey drinking basis. What
* cu.. be doi.e about that?

Practical
Nurse Tells
Mrs. N. E. Snow, of Route
1, near Paris, Tenn., tells the
story of her experience as
follows:
“I am 62 years old and I
have been a practical nurse
for more than 20 years, tak
ing mostly maternity cases.
One of my daughters suffered
from cramping at . . . She
would just bend double and
have to go to bed.
GARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
was recommended to her and
she only had to take about
two bottles, when she hardly
knew that it was . . ~ she
suffered so little pain.
"M y youngest daughter
was run-down, weak and
nervous, and looked like she
didn’t have a bit of blood
left —just a walking skeleton,
no appetite and tired all the
time. I gave her two bottles
of Cardui. It built her up
and she began eating and
soon gained in weight and
has been so well since.”
Cardui, the Woman’s Tonic,
has helped suffering women
for over forty years. Try it.
