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.

Division Engineer, Gainesville, Georgia. THE DANIELSVILLE MONITOR. DANIELSVILLE. CA. itfak Week By Arthur Brisbane 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? * NEESE LOCALS A Everybody' enjoyed the nice rain that fell Saturday night and Sunday Misses Louesa and Rosa Nell Crowe had as their guests Thursday night: Messers Walter Smith, Murry Herschel Bullock, Jewel Murray, Vasco Martin; Misses Nina Hard man and Veta Martin.

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.
