Ogniilv t'ommianloncm to innke nn up

to week in The llcrnld. It in not doubt
ed that the mini required will lie secured,
nod that in n short time dnntOIMtrntioii
work will lie ngnin netively under way.
It in ridiculous Hint thin method of ruin
ing the modent mini needed for the pur-
pone nnuicil' him to bn resorted In, when
the county npomln no many thousands of
dullnrs miiiually for objeetn not one bit
more important., if ns much no. Of all
times, thin in one year when the farmers
of Coweta will need all the encourage
ment nnd help they ran get in working
out their problontn—problems more stag
gering, more bntTling, tlinu the present
generation has ever hnd to deal with.
The plea of the County Commissioners
that, the county in not Ihinitciiilly able
to pay part of the salary of a farm deni-
oustrutor is pure touimyrut, and every-
Imily 'knows it.
. In this connect ion we submit extracts
from several of the (State's leading nows-
papers showing the value of farm demon
stration work, nnd bow it is appreciated
in other sect ions. The llrnt article In
from the Atlanta Constitution, which
quotes extracts from the Albany Herald
upon the same subject—
Speaking iinpnrsoimlly and "wlthuut
intending to direct, eritieinm lit nny par
ticular county," the Albany (On.) Herald
expresses the opinion that too many
Georgia counties 1 ‘make the mistake of
electing tightwads for County Commis
sioners, instead of selecting "their most
progressive citlxens for these important
positions.' ’
The Herald's point iA well taken; for,
us our Buiitli (icnrgiu cniitcnipiirnry goes
on to any, the State "is just now enter
ing upon the most progressive era in
its history," mid "It is a time when
public-spirited men should be placed in
charge of our roads and revenues, We
are led- into saying this," The Herald
explains, "by obuurvillg that some of the
counties are having trouble with the
County Cm installers with reference to
county demonstration work, tick erndi
cation and some other tilings of vital
Importance, A Georgia county that
doesu ‘t keep a county demonstration
agent nnd also provide dipping vats for
tick eradication isn't keeping up with
the procession. ’'
III Hits day and time there is no place
in the modern scheme of tilings for the
eltlxen who is too .conservative or too
timid or too parsimonious to face the
sunlight nud go iihcnd "with the pro
cession;" nud especially does this apply
to the public official who is responsible
for the progress nnd development of Ids
immediate community.
The County Couiiiitnaiuiicr who is not
willing to authorise the expenditure of
public funds for such necessary improve-
incuts n» good roads, better schools, etc.,
nml for the maiutenanre of county dem
onstration agents nnd the prosecution of
the work of tick eradication (in tick in
fested counties) is ready lor the discard.
He is out of place, and wholly out of
step with the times, in any Georgia
county.
The next article is from the Atlanta
Journal, which quotes from the Sava
nab News nlong the same line
Touching the question of the salaries
/if county farm demontrntion agents, the
'-Savannah Morning News rightly says
that if the payment of these invaluable
public servants out of the county funds
-should encounter legal difficulties, the
knot should Isi promptly c.ut by legis-
' lutlve enactment. It is to bo hoped that
no technicalities will prove troublesome;
‘tint In the event they do, the law should
tie speedily purged of them.”
It was obviously the intent of the
farmers of Georgia’s constructive agri
■cultural legislation that county govern
mont* should lie authorised to apply a
portion of their funds to the employ
ment of demonstration agents. In some
communities, lie dould, private interests
would tmbseribe Hie agent's salary if
Hie public appropriation were cut oft'.
Hut it is far bettor, as The Morning News
argues, that "the county treasury bear
the expense, because the whole v unity
enjoys the Isnietits. There is no doubt
that millions of dollars worth of crop*
have Ins'll added to the total in Georgia
in recent years by tins rounty Agents:
and tlir State is better off today than It
would have been because of their pains
taking efforts in liehntf of better mul
more varies! farming."
Tilts business of towus and cities is
no less materially concerned Hum are
tho rural districts. The development of
tlioso basic resources from which ecm
mnreo is nourished and quickened is
largely involved in the maintenance of
the county ngeul system of farm educa
tion. Indeed, Uiero is not a property
owner, not a taxpayer, not an Investor,
tint whose Interests nro promoted by the
county agent. This excellent work
should !><• given every possible encour
agement in Ocorgin.
Harding Will Be Inaugurated
Next Friday.
Vresident-elect Harding will lie in
augurated next Friday. According to
bis wish, it is said, Hie ceremonies will
Ih- wholly devoid of the spectacular fea
tures usually incident to this imposing
ceremonial.
It is announced, supposedly upon the
authority of the I'rcsident-elect, that the
new cabinet will lie made up as follows—

Mcllcn, of Pennsylvania.
Secretary of War—John W. Weeks,
of Massachusetts
Attorney-deneral Hurry M. Daugher

Twenty thousand idle negroes nre walk-
in the streets of Chicago seeking em
ployment, according to n report oont out

Mr. llrynu wants to reorganize the Dem
ocratic party. Well, if the party is to
lie rojunoimtod through Mr. Hryan's
manipulation and according to his pu-
fiilbir scheme of things we might as well
stay hunted and save further worry.
There hns been a wonderful improve
ment la the Columbus Kiiqulrcr-Buii since
that newspaper passed into the hands
of Col. Tom W. Doyless and Mr, Julian
Harris. No daily in the Stuto carries a
brighter editorial page or a bettor news
service. Not only is it n credit to Geor
gia Journalism, but it splendid represen
tative of the Hue old town in which it
is published.
Capper's Weekly of the 18th hist., a
journal devoted largely to the country's
farming interests, earries this item of
news—
"Tlio issuance of one hundred million
dullnrs' worth of farm loan 0 per cent,

Department, as provided for in an
iiuiendmciit. to the legislative appropria

THE ELLIS HEALTH LAW.
We have in Coweta an active and very
efficient Red* Cross organization, and
it lias done (and is still doing) some
excellent work nlong relief lines. At
its January meeting the executive lmnrd
authorized the employment of n public
health nurse, whose duly it will lie to
visit the schools nnd homes of the county
nnd give instructions in home nursing,
dieting, nnd sanitary measures I for
health protection, etc. Ill this connec
tion it may be of interest to call atten
tion to what is known ns the Kills Health
Daw, which has lawn adopted by a num
ber of counties in Georgia, tuid which
should lie adopted by this county. Brief
ly stated, the provisions of the Ellis
law and the good work already accom
plished where it hns been ndopted are sqt
forth in a bulletin issued by tho State
Hoard of Health us follows—
1. Provides for a County Bonrd of
Health, consisting of the chairman of
the Board of County Commissioners, the
'County School Superintendent, nnd a
local physician elected by the grand jury.
2. The lnw becomes operative only upon
the recommendation of two successive
grand juries.
:t. After the adoption of the lnw the
County Board of Healtb elects n full-
time Commissioner of Health from a list
of ellgibles submitted by the State Board
of Health.
I. Jn tho counties where tho law is
ill operation thousands of school children
have been given expert examinations and
advice regarding their health and well-
being.
15. Hundreds of mothers have been
given directions regarding the care nnd
feeding of their infants, as well as in
structions for tliejr own physical wel
fare.
(1. Epidemics of disease have been cut
short, or avoided altogether.
, 7. Tens of thousands of dollars lmve
been saved the taxpayers of the Htute
by preventing such expensive diseases ns
typhoid fever, dysentery, hookworm, ma
laria, etc. la one county typhoid fever
ivns redticod 6!t per cent, and dysentery
KM per cent, the Hrst year.
8. Von nro entitled to t-lio protection
of this lnw. Your child, and Hint of
your neighbor's, should receive consid
eration at tho bnnds of an expert. The
Ellis Health Law saves more dullnrs than
it costs; is the best in America; America
Ih the best on tho face of the earth. Is
tho best too good for your baby, your
neighbor's baby, or yourself!
