No one should ever for a moment
consider consulting an advertising
doctor; good, reliable physicians do
not advertise. Consult in illness
your family doctor; he is your
friend, and if need be he will refer
you to a specialist. .
TWO SPOTS
While the city folks ave wasting
money on luxuries bought on the
installment plan the country people
are purchasing working equipment
that adds to the productive capicity
of the country.
After longing for city excitements,
gome people move to the cities and
begin to fret for lack of the rural
pleasures,
Trade can be drawn by a country
gtore about five times as far as it
could ten vears ago, but it takes
advertising to do it.
QUALIFICATIONS OF TEACHERS
The statment is made that less
than half of the public school
teachers of the country have had a
high school education. 1f correct,
it is not surprising that many young
people are coming along with suffi
cient preparation for life
Such a statement might seem
rather incredible, were it not ob
vious that many country schools
have insuflicient funds, and can’t
afford well trained teachers. At
least the citizens of such localities
feel that they can’t. They probab~
ly take a short sighted view, and inl
the long run their locality \vnuld}
prosper better if they would loosen l
up a little and hire some modern |
trained teachers. |
Even if a person has had both !
high school and college education,'
such a person is not necessarily a!
competant teacher. There is u[
knack in the work that people have |
by instinet, but the majority have
to get it by instruction from people
who have made a specialty of the
art. Thera are certain ways of |
teaching that appeal successfully to|
the child mind and certain ways;
that do not. Many people under- |
stand a subject perfecily well them-iE
selves, yet they may not have any
conception of how to explain that
subject to young pupils, and make
a class understand it and get inter
ested init.
To get good school work, most
teachérs need to take a course of
pormal training, in which they will
learn how ideas can be communi
cated to young minds most efiec-i
tively, and as to how youug people‘
can be incited to take an interest in
their studics,
If pupils really get interested and
want to learn, they will cover two
or three times as much ground.
The teacher who gives out a certain
Hesson i a book, and then just hear
'the pupils recite it, is belind the
came in these times, She needs to
learn the principles by which
modern education makes these les
| sons interesting, and puts the ams
‘l;itiuus working epirit into the
modern elagsroom,
THE COUNTRY CHILD’S
DEVELOPMENT
There is a great deal of com
plaint from city schools about the
constant loss of energy and health
hy school children, owing to many
social engagements and late hours,
These city kids may enjoy this fun,
but parenis know that they are risk
ing their futuredand skating on the
thin ice of dissipation. -
The country children get their
enjoyment primarily in out door
life aud gport. They have pleasant
social occasions, but they are not 8o
numerous as to interfere with work
and gleep. As a consequence tbe
average country child attends to his
school work better than the average
city child, and his health is not
hazarded by over excitment and late
‘ hours. This is one reason why
!mnntry children grow up better
'uquipped for life than city children.
DOING WITHOUT THINGS
It i¢ surprising how much people
demand in the way of comforts if
they are living in settled and pros
perous communities, and how little
they can get along with when they
go off on vaeationg, or when they
make a start in new surroundings.
Iconomist claim that a large
part of the money that people spend
goes to maintain social position or
kecp up with their neighbors. Peo
ple do not feel that they ave in the
game nowadays,Jorare getting their
share of fun, unless they have an
automobile. Yet afew years ago
they never felt any special lenging
for this form of sport. It isthe
same with many other of the com
forts and luxuries of life.
’ People who at home live in a
’ highly finished or costly way, will
go off on a vacation to some little
lshm'k, and live in a few tiny rooms
and have a lovely time. Or if cir
cumstances seem (o make it necess
ary, they will go on some lonely
ranch, and live in a primitive
dwelling without conveniences. Wo
men who occupy such homes tell of
the happiness they felt when they
got their first rug or picture,
Yet they may be more contented in
a life where they are doing earnest
worh and keeping well through
vigorous activity, than if they were
sitting around in a city home in an
idle way. It is natural that people‘
who are earning good pay or nmking‘
money ‘should spend something for
luxury to sweeten life. But as a
rule, people strive and fret too much
for mere things. |
The only thing that can make
them happy is activity in useful
employments or wholegome diver
gions. The moreacquisitions many
people get, the more discontented
they are. If they would spend
some of their luxury money on
philanthropic activities and spend
less timein fretting and more in
healthful outdoor life, they would
be happier.
jTHE FUTURE COUNTRY TOWN
’ One of the most hopeful aspects
jof country life at this time is the
’ rapidly changing attitude
fof the farming population toward
;mndem methods of ugri.cu‘tux'e.
i The old time American farmer
was entitled to the admiration of
the world, for the diligence and
persistence with which he pursued
his way through all discouragements.
If he had poor success he never-the-
Jess kept on working patiently and
tirelessly. He would econclude if
his results were unsatisfactory, that
it was due to unfavorable weather,
insect pests, or some temporaryl
IHE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL, LEESBURG, GEORGIA
cause that might not recur anullwri
year. So with unconquerable lnilh‘
he kept on planting and harvesting.
It was a splendid spirit, yet it did
not have the ramie business serse
that you find in the t_-mumeruinl‘
world. 1 a business man hag bad
succese, he does not Leep digging
away at the snme old methods, He
makes an effort to secure competent
advice, and he remedics defeets in
his aperating methods,
The farmer of to-day is doing that
far more than he did a few years ago
If he has a crop failure, he i< apt
like the business man to make in
quiries of Lis county agent or other
expert authority and try to find oul
where his methods could«be im
proved.
The coming generation of young
people, when they get farms of their
own, have been so trained that they
are likely to follow these business
methods of farming. If they make
failures, they willg-ecure competent
advice to help them avoid such
losges in the future, The result
must be to place the rural indus
tries on a footing mark like that of
other forms of business.
HARM OF THE SUBSIDY BILL
The subsidy bill which the Re
publican administration is tryingto
jam through Congress, will haye a
‘more far reaching effect than its
advocates imagine.
It is asked that the government
make ccrtainjpaymel.ls to corpora
tions and business wen, to com
pzanszate them for the deficits they
encounter in the operation of mer
chant ships. What effect will that
have on the business where that
kind of thing_is done.
Suppose you go to a manufacturer
who has had difficulties in selling
his products at a profft, arvd he
fears he may have to quit. He
might say that if the city or the
government would grant him aid
out of the public funds, he coald
keep running. But if that s the
only way he can operate, it would
usuaily be better for the public to
buy its goods somewhere eise.
If you should give such a man
government aid, it would be likely
to lead him to relax in his efforts
for systematic and eflicient opera
tion. He will tend to rely upoun
the artificial help rather than upon
his own resources. It wili work the
same in the ship business. 1f aid
is extended directly from the Lreas~
ury to the shipping interests, there
will be a powerful movement to
have aid extended to other forms of
industry. Many of the farmers will
no doubt demand such help. If a
shipowner can be conpensated for
the loss he makes on an unprofit
able run, it would scem logical that
farmers should be compensated for
the loss they make on a crop failure.
It is an excceding dangerous prin
ciple to have establishel. It would
geem hetter policy fur the govern
ment to pocket whatever foss it is
making on its merchant vessels,
with the hope of reducing it by
more economical methods as time
goes on, rather than introduce 2
a prineipal that wili m\cnurngo‘
many interests to beg for help out‘
of the public tieasury. 1

live-stock markets for soft and

Hogs producing soft and oily
carcasses can not be distinguish
ed before slaughter from those
yielning firm meat.
These tests did not show a dis
tinet difference in the dressing
percentages of soft, oily or firm
hogs.
Shrinkage in the chill room
was relatively the same for all
classes of pork.
Qily ham and shoulder -cuts,
at the end of the retaining per
iod (19 days after coming out of
smoke), were just as firm to the
touch as those that were classed
as firm in the cooler. The ap
pearance, however, was more
glossy. The bellies (bacon) not
only appeared more glossy and
yellowish, but still remained soft
and some of them seemed tobe
spongy.
No difference was detected be
tween oily, soft and firm meats,
relative to their keeping quali
ties, at the close of the retaining
periods.
The results of the tests showed
the samea percentage shrinkage
for oily and firm pork or 13.85
per cent. The shrinkage for the
suft meat was 15.92 per cent or
2 07 per cent of the total weight,
more than the shrinkage of either
the oily or firm meat. This is
significant, since the opinion has
been widely held that during the
curing and retaining periods oily
meat shrinks more than soft or
firm meat.
IFurther investigations will be
necessary before conclusions can
be drawn regarding the justifi
able discount that should he made
on live hogs that dress out oily.”’
