No cnsii to pay for the broken ma

Nor buy n gallon of gABOllne;—
(So he walked 1)
He went to the* grocor to buy some meat
For hi* folks and nil hands to eat;
But the grocer said: ‘‘No credit here;
You owe for tho bncon you bhught

(So ho walked!)
He wanted to hub his kinsmen ngain,
. He hndn ’t aeon ’em alnco he dldn’t

He would catch tho train, but ho had
no faro,
And it cost ten dollars to ride over

(Bo he walked!)
His wife put in for a new spring hat,
.A dress, and shoes, but his purse was
flat; •
^ Her stern demands he couldn’t deny,
But with no cash or credit, lie couldn't
buy;—
(Bo he walked, and walked.)

WOMEN OF WHOM WE ARE MOST
PROUD.
Fortnightly Review,
Specialized education dees not neces
sarily create eiiiiipniiionublc nor evil
senslhle women; else, by pnrity of ren-
soiiiiig, would nil professional men be
personally i-linriniiig and delightful,
which undoubtedly they nre not. A girl
limy lie a brilliant mathematician, a
sharp critic, a faultless grammarian,
and yet ho wanting in nil the tact nml
temper, clear observation, ready sympa
thy and noble self-control which make a
companionable wife nml a valuable
mother. Nor is unprofessional or unspo-
cinllzcd Instruction necessarily synony
mous with Idleness nnd ignorance; while
a good all-around! education- is likely to
prove more scrvjc(aihlo hi the homo sod
in society than Ann or two Bupromo ac
complishments. Milny of us make the
mistake of confounding education witli
accomplishments, and of running togeth
er mental development and intellectual
specialization. The women of whom wo
are most proud ill our history were not
reinnrknblo for special intellectual ac
quirements so much ns foF general chnr-
aider and the Imriiionious working of
will and morality.
Tho Lady Fnnshnws nnd EHznhctli
Frys, the Mary Carpenters and the Flor
ence Nightingales, wlmso nnmes axe im
mortal, were not noted for their learn
ing, but they were none tho less women
whose mark in history is indelible. The
good they did lives nfter them, and will
never die. And, taking nt least one of
the partially learned Indies of tho past—
in it her Lntlnity and her bookishness
that wc admire so much ill Lady Jane
Grey, or is it her modesty, her gentle
ness, her saintly patience, her devotion—
In n word, is it her education or her
charm-tori—the intelligent "philosopher
or the sweet and lovely and noblo wo
men ?

THE BOY CRIMINAL.
Diiwson Nows.
Tho boy criminal is now engaging not
only the attention of the courts, but of
nil thoughtful people. The problem iB
of espocinl concern to those whoso buslnosH
it is to deni with delinquents, and who
nro constantly ongagod in studying de
linquency. The boy criminal has become
.Humorous, daring nnd delimit. Hero in
Georgia us well as elsewhere many of tho
most strntllng crimes of rocont happen
ing wore committed by more boys. Boys
lire not only oiigiigliig iu potty crimos h
but in every sort of crime, from that of
tho mealiest kind to major offonsos, such
ns bnnk and trnin robberies. There seems
to bo no limit to the imagination nnd tho
daring of tho youthful criminal.
It is natural, with sucli n grave condi
tion existing, that Inquiry should be
nindc ns to tho ciuibo or causes of it.
Buell nn inquiry does not proceed far
before tile discovery is inndo that many
theories oxlst ns to tho renaons for tho
boy criminal. Evoryono who has glvon
thought to tho question has Ids own ex
planation. The reasons advanced run
tho gamut from luck of homo rostraiut
to tho growing nud well-nigh unlvorsnl
contempt for law. Luck of propor edu
cation, improper motion pictures, pool
rooms, gambling, publication of crimo
nows, unemployment, ImIuobs—tlioso nro
some of the causes of tho boy criminal
that nro presented.
Tho boy orliiiiiinl is difficult to mi-
nlyxo. It is not possible to sny tbnt this,
that, or the other tiling is directly re
sponsible. ' With so many different in-
lluonres reaching the boy, it is unsafe
to particularize. It would be safer to
nssert that all of tho hinsous .put to
gether Imvo brought nliout the boy erimi
nnl tlmn to say that mi,v one of them
is responsible for the evil.
The boy criminal is n problem of many
tingles, mid it is sufficiently grave nml
alarming to merit the most thoughtful
consideration on tho part of every one
concerned for tho future of humanity.

ACREAGE CUTS MEAN LOWER
YIELDS PER ACRE.
Progressive Farmer.
A reduction in the cotton acreage
<loes not mean that there will bo a
larger yield per acre. In fact, anything
like a marked reduction in the acreage
luis in the past resulted in a reduced
yield per acre. There is a general belief
that when a smaller acreage is planted
It is cultivated better and a better yield
1m made, but such is not the cnee.
During the Inst forty years the cotton
acreage has been, reduced from that of
the preceding year fifteen tunes, and ten
out of the fifteen times there has also
been a reduced yield per acre. During
these forty years, 1881 to 1920 inclusive,
there 1ms been nn increase in acreage
twenty-five times nbovA v the acreage of
the year before, and fourteen times out
of the twenty-five times there has also
been nn increase iu tho yield per acre.
It is therefore evident that n reduc
tion iu the cotton acreage in 1921 does
not indicate that there will bo an in
creased yield per acre. In fact, the iu-
tieatiouB, based on past records, art* that
the yield per acre is likely to be also
reduced. This is not at all remarkable,
since when reductions in arceage are
made the price is usually unsatisfactory,
ami farmers are not feeling kindly to
ward tin* crop. They consequently do
not give the crop ns good attention, nor
use as much fertilizers as usual.
For many a bride-to-be there is also
a tried-to-be.
You realise what a story really
amounts to when you see forty' chapters
told in a ten-line synopsis.
Ice and
Ice Service
It is our desire and intention to give the peo
ple of Newnan the best ice service possible, and
to that end we will put on four delivery wagons
and a truck under our own management.
Increases in power rates allowed power
companies have more than offset the decreased
labor costs in ice manufacture, so that the cost
has not decreased, but we olfer customers using
COUPON BOOKS, paid for in advance, ice at
reduced prices, as shown below. These books
will be sold in denominations of $2.50, $5.00
and $10.00—payable strictly in advance.
Short-weight will- not be tolerated willingly,
nor will discourteous treatment, and we request
co-operation of the public in the prevention of
these evils. ,
Ice will be sold at the following prices:—
