“CLASS" DISTINCTION.
Bulloch County Nows.
A friend of ours, living in another
city, dropped into our oflice u few dnys
ago on a matter of business. Discussion
drifted to the subject of a nice home in
which he hud recently moved, and there
wna u tremor in his voice when he suid
“it’s u mighty line homo, but I’ve got
to sell it nml move. I thought it n moat
delightful place, and the house is woll-
nrrnngcd, with every comfort—but my
family just won’t let me la* satisfied
there—they don't like the 1 clnsa'.
And when the ninn had gone out the
words stimk to us, "They don't like tho
class'." Wlmt of tho "clnasf" Who
are the neighbors whose presence makes
the community undesirable? Ami wc
counted them ovor in our mind nnd anal
yzed Uiom. As We snw them, they wore
made of the same clay, horn nnd renrod
in the same environment, mid subject to
the snuie limitations nnd possibilities.
They looked like the other family, lioro
similar names, some were of the smne
blood ovonj they noted alike, so far ns
people generally know, attended tho
some churches, the smile schools, breathed
the slime nir nnd ate the same food.
By whnt right did the dissatisfied ones
hold themselves ns belonging to n higher
class!” Was it through something
they hnd accomplished more noble than
tho common liordf Had nil the neigh
bors failed to inensure up to their stand
ard of good citizenship f Or wns the
“eluss" purely of the mind nnd not of
quality! Was it not, rather, u cuse of
wiinting to associate out of ono's renl

the conception of the ileiuoiistriitiun 1 is over thus in life. The ambition of
work is due, used to instruct Ids agents human nature is to uppenr to excel rather
never to pass u school-house without
stopping, nml the emphasis has never
been taken off,
The rdiientinnal feature of club work
has Im-oii so fully appreciate"! by the
than to equal. The mother in the home,
jealous tor the pride of her little .ones,
warns them against associating with
“those awful children around the cor
ner." At the same moment, the other
s'loud mitlinritics of tin" State that, in mother is giving the same wnrning to
their requirements for a standard school,
they include some regular agricultural
• lull work. Ami this is with good rev
son. The courses of our rural schools
have been largely modeled upon those of
the city schools, mol tend to lend the
child nwny from the farm instead of
preparing him for it. Tho club work,
which docs its teaching by the intensely
practical method of actually lining the
thing to be learned—laboratory work of
the Is'st kind— thereby vitalizes the
school course mid relates it to the life
which the child is to live.
The progressive county of Wilkes went
so far ns to require club work of all
children of certain ages, just as it "lid
the regular studies in the curriculum.
In addition to the health development

Miss Prissy Body buys from the store
n new coat suit, lint returns it in disduin
when she tiuds that some less preten
tions body has bought one of Hie same
design, Bho vows she will not wear a
thing su common. And the merchant
flatters her with the offering of another
suit slightly different, mid the assurance
that Mrs. linsy Rich bought ouo just like
this for her daughter. When Mrs. Easy
Hieh finds out Miss Prissy Body has
tried to get into her “class," her charm-
tng daughter sells her garment to a col
ored damsel, hut Miss Prissy Body is
happy with the thought that she has
moved n notch higher up in “ class. ”

wise provided for, although it was nl j kin rattle-trap is outstripped by the high-
ryndy sustaining the home demiiustrn- \ powered ear, lint lie feeds inore juice
tiou work.
In nccordiluco with these principles
the demonstration agent keeps Ids eyes
open for outstanding examples of goad
farming, and advertises them to other
farmers till they spread over the com
munity or county. And if tic docs not
find examples sufficient in his county of
improved practices which have been
worked elsewhere, he tries to find some
one who will put them in practice nml
demonstrate them for him. These men
who will co-operate with him for the
lienellt of the community nre his deiiiou-
strntors. Without their co-o|*cration lie
can got nowhere. But lie does not in
stitute his demonstrations with them pri
marily for tlieir benefit, though they fro
quently do benefit by this co-operation,
but for the lieuetU of tin* community.
Any fimner who is remly to co operate
with Hie demonstration agent in this way
will find him ready to use Ids help nml to
give such service incidentally ns lie can.
And 1 v do not think that nn agent often
refuses ii request for personal service,
even though educational demonstration,
not personal service; is the object of his
work.
In the same way the demonstration
agent will liest carry out the purpose of
his appointment by deoling with groiqis
of individuals rather than with single
individuals. I localise in this wav he van
tea,-h so many mote. If organized groups
will agree on the demonstrations they
wish made, and on where they want
them plans), the work lwoollies nineli

Thi* is the reason that tho l". B. Depart
lueiit of Agriculture nc)cnincs the ad
vent of the Farm Bureau and co-oper-
.with it, for tho Farm Bureau is
committed from it* inception to just
thin service to the demonstration work.
While the agent is ready to help indi
viduals where he ran, his work will ac
complish ^ most when' lie can secure the
co-operatiou of an organized community,
«ueh ns the Farm Bureau f uncil gives
him.
Without discounting the importance of

baa so conspicuously stood, it may be

and buggy, und lie breathes a sigh of
gratification at being able to pass some
body. They all came from the same
place, ami alt arc going to the same
place, and one will be no better than the
other when he gets there. What's the
good, then, of nil this “class" craze?
Why turn a disdainful nose toward the
sojourner in life who happens to bo less
favored than you? Would it hurt you to
lend a helping hand to the neighbor
who is struggling to rise? Does it really
mill to your merit Hint someone else may

And who are one's neighbors? Are
tliey the well-to-do who hold themselves
above him, mol neither ask nor extend
help; or nre they those who, like the man
who ministered to the fellow on the road
to Jericho, came to your relief when you
were in distress! "
At last when boiled down it becomes
an individual matter. The individual
farmer, who refuses to grow- cotton this
time only as n surplus crop, is a sure
winner. If all others follow the same
course lie will reap a fancy price for
what lie does grow, whereas if only n
few follow that course, and a large crop
is the result, lie will still In' on the win
ning side, as he will not have, incurred
the cxih’usc of a full crop, his loss on
his surplus will ho small ami lie will have
plenty to live on and some to spare. The
same reasoning applies to counties and
States as well. If Lee county grows only
the cottou it can grow after a full crop
of other things, it will 1h> a prosperous
county, and n sure winner in either event.
It, too, will have plenty to go oil. and
share iu the high prices that will obtain
if oil the counties curtail, whereas its
losses will lie light if nil the other conn-
til's grow large crops. Better play safe.

I.OVF.LY WOMAN AT THE BANK.
Buffalo l.’ourier. |
A gentle, lovely woman entered a Mnin
street bank yesterday. She wanted, n
check cashed, so she went to {lie receiv
ing teller’s window nnd thrust the check
ill. The teller shoved it back.
“Next winder," lie said.
"Next winter! 1 can’t wait till next
winter," exclnimcd the lady.
“1 said next winder," shouted the
teller, “winder, winder; ’tothcr win
der. ’ ’
“Oh, von, but this is the receiving win
dow. isn't it! ”
“Yes, but you can’t get any money
here. ’'
“But i'm going to receive it, ain’t
I?"
“Not here you ain’t; go to thq other
winder, Indy; he’ll fix you."
The lady was still uncertain, but she
•went to the other "winder" nml shovel
in her check. The polite official thrust it
back. "It’s not indorsed, madam,"
suid he.
“Not endorsed? Whnt lines that
mean 1”
“Is your mime Tuclpjrl"
“P’raps it is and p’raps it isn't.
Wlmt business is thnt of yours?"
"Is this your name on tho face of
this check !''
"Yes. it is."
“Well, you’ve got to indorse it.’’.
‘‘That’s whnt you suid before. What
do you mean .’''
“You must write your name across the
back of it."
“But my mime’s on it already."
“On the front. That ain’t enough; it
must be written across Hie bock."
“Oil, well, gi’mc it." She took nml
carefully wrote her iinme upside down
across the bottom of the check, and hand
ed it in.
"You indorsed -it wrong, nindam.’’
"How'd 1 know how you wanted it?
Why didn’t you tell me?"
‘ ‘ I thought I did. Here, write it
ncros* the top, so, ’ ’ nnd the teller plain
ly showed her, nnd with much grumbling
slie complied. The teller thereupon cash
ed tier check with two silver dollars. -
"I ain’t going to take those," she
said. "Oi'mo bills.’’
Tho teller sighed and gave her two
ono-dollnr bills, whereupon she picked up
her parasol and departed in a huff.
MILLIONS AND MORALITY.
Almost ns regularly ns clock-work wo
read in the daily press where some mil
lionaire 'is suing his wife for divorce, or
is being sited himself, or both.
Ooncraliy there follows u mass of
moral filth that is amazing unit almost
beyond tielief. Like dirty linen, it nil
comes out in the wash, but unlike the
linen, the principals enn linrdly lay
claims to purity ns n result of their legal
bath.
This is a queer world.
As long as we are poor we nro able-to
live comparatively decent lives. But let
great wealth come our way nnd we imme
diately begin to yearn for tho vices and,,
frivoltles it will buy.
It would bo far better for the huinuii
nice if we were to forego n majority of
the "pleasures” of wealth and retain
the respectability that is inherent in
mankind in the dnys of his poverty.
Millions nml morality do not always
harmonize.

In the matter of Gas and Oil—don’t get the idea
that ANY old gas is all right, or the cheapest oil
you can buy will take care of the rapidly moving
parts in your car. Why, it takes brain to buy Gas
and Oil, even!
Now, as to Gas, we want you to buy from us for
several reasons—all good. First, because we sell
by CASH COUPON BOOKS, which give you
$io worth for $9.90, and $20 lor $19.80—a little
saving. Also, you get EXACT measure—every
cent’s worth. You see the Gas. Then, too, we
want your business so that WE can get that TWO
CENTS a gallon, which is supposed to be profit,
instead of passing it on to some guy in New York,
or elsewhere. And, finally, we treat you right.
Now, we can sell cheap oil, but don’t. We sell
Vacuum Gargoyle Mobiloil and Indian Oils, and
we see that you GET THE RIGHT OIL FOR
YOUR CAR. It don’t seem to be such a worth
while piatter, but it is! However, it’s the little trick
of making your welfare our real business, and try
ing to make your car run better for less money that
is making our business grow;—yes, we said GROW!
