MISS LORINE COLLINS— Home Demonstration Agent Postofllco, Nownan, On. Itoaldcnra phono 39D-J, Office, Chamber of Commerce. SOME REASONS WHY THE SMITH-LEVER FUNDS SHOULD BE RETAINED— \ •* 1. The State of Goorgia made a con tract relative to this matter with the Federal Government, when, by joint res olution, the House and Benato of Geor gia accepted the terniH and provisions of this Act. This resolution was ap proved August 14, 11*14, by the Gov ernor of the State, 2. The Smith-Lover Extension Act re quires that this work shall bo directed through>thc State Collcgo of Agricul ture and that tho State must offset on n dollor-for-dollar basis the Federal funds accruing to It, with the exception of tho first $10,000 made available for tills work. 3. Tho Stnto Ims carried out Its con tract to tho letter up to tho present time. Tho amount of Federal funds ac cruing to Georgia for tho Federal fiscal yenr beginning July 1, 1921, U $161,- 863.84. 4. Tho Stnto must appropriate $151,- 863.84 to offsat this. 6. Tho Smlth-Lovor funds mature next year, tho amount duo from tho Fodcrnl Government at that time bong $182,- 068.78, of whcli ♦172,058.78 must bo off set by tho State. As it is customary for tho Appropriation Act to cover two yours ths point could bo covorod as pro vided for in tho following statement, which tho Appropriations Committoo of the House lion boon requested to Incor porate in tho Act which governs tho ex penditures f(ir- tlm years 1920-1921, “For the Stnto College of Agrlcul- tuor, $151,853.84 for the year 1921, and $172,058.78 for tho year 1922: Pro vided, that tho, abovo appropratlon shall tio used for tho purpose of co-operating with tho U. S, Department, of Agricul ture and tho various counties of Geor gia in mooting tho requirements of what is known as the Smlth-Lovor bill, and said first mentioned amount shall become available July 1, 1921, and tho sooouil mentioned amount to becoino available July 1, 1922.“ G- 'If tho State fulls to offset tho funds ns indicated above tho farmers of Geor gia will bo deprived of all co-oporativc lienoflts accruing to them under tho terms and provisions of tho Act nt tlm most crlticui lime In tho history of our ngrlcuHuro. 7. It would bo mnnlfcstly unfair and mi unjust discrimination against tho furngy-n of Geogia for this to occur. It would lie ospocinlly unfair to cut out tills fund mid lonvo other appropriations intact. 8. A failure to offset the Smlth-Lovor Act means tho loss to Georgln of approx-" imntoly $359,009 of Federal funds. Can wo afford this in times like thosel 9. 'Wo Have already paid this fund in tho form of taxes. Tho' income tnx pnid by Goorgin for the Inst throe vears approximates $35,000,0(10 a year. Horo is an opportunity to get sumo of it, back. Those figures also show that Goorgin is not poor; tlmt wo are iimilly able to off set those funds, which nro used solely In' tlm Interest of the farmer and Ills film lly. 10. Tho loss of these funds moans tho elimination of the boys’ ami girls’,elubs. Tlioro are 18,073 enrolled this year. SiuoQ the work began 109,203 have been enrolled. They lmvo added $0,725,070 to the wealth of tho Stnto alone. Tho boys' and girls’ club work is curried on in association With the sehnnlH of Georgia. 11. The nd ion oontomphitod would re sult In the elimination of corn, canning, pig mill ottlf club exhibits at more than 100 fairs In Georgia tills fall. It would immit tho loss of nil nutrition classes of under -nourished, children. 12. It would throw 250 peoplo out of work without any notice. This would bn a grout, injustice. Of these peoplo, 125 are women. There are at least 1,000 to 1,200 people supported by these agents. They me nil Georgians. If tho notion contemplated were taken they would re cotvq no money for July, after they lmvo performed thily days of tho most faith ful service. It is not believed tlmt any notion 'so uufnir and unjust to such a largo, efficient mid faithful group of men mid women can bo consummated'— certainly not if tho facts in tho situation nro understood. ronu to organize its mnrkoting division rind to enter into contracts with the ex change that will insure it sufficient bus iness to give it prestige ami tnko care of the necessary ovorliend Charges. Mr. P. H. Sandora lias been secured as malinger of tho exchmig*, nnd those who know him consider tliiB a wise choice. Tho nxchango is now ready for busi ness. It is organized on brotul nnd coiiiprohensivo lines, but .it cannot suc ceed without the co-oporntlon of tho county farm bureaus. It is in position to return many times over tho member ship foe of. overy farm burenu member, and tho plans outlined above are inndo' for the purpose of making tho fprin bu reau moro profitable to its members. If every county farm bureau in tile Stnto signs tlib mnrkoting contract and gi/es its whola-hcnrted support to tho exchange tlio members everywhere will be served, 'the exchange will iso a succojb nnd tho farm bureau will grow in proportion.

Profits nrc realized when the money is rang up in tlie cash drawer. If you buy with all the wisdom of the world’ nnd leave one of every dozen to dlo on the shelves—you kill the profit. Jf you sell with nil the-energy there Ib nnd leave one dollar In every ten to blow away ns a bail debt—there’s your profit gone and your business wiped out. The thriving business is the ono that deals witli thrifty people. The best friend of profit is tiio good customer. Business is done for ensh or credit. Tho other tiling is charity. Credit business comes to an end when a man can’t pay his bills; cash business stops when n man can’t pay money. When tho town is flush with money, almost any customer is a good customor. But when the wheels stop business can only be dono with the-mail who has cash or credit. Tho other kind is a liability. The dealer must choose between turning him nway nnd losing the trade or trust ing him and losing his money. Tho man who hns something saved is the only good customor when times ore dull. If ho did not ssvo when ho had monoy, ho can’t pay cash, of course. If ho did not save when saving was easy, he can’t ho a good credit risk. The dealor is Bafe who builds np n lino of good customers during flush tiniOB. The dealer who does not insure his trade is coming to the time when he will huve but ono choice—he can go out of business, or go under. Profits that get us far as the cash drawer are for tho merchant who culti vates the customer who cultivates the habit of saving. The good customer can bo recognized tiio minute ho coniOB into the store. "If he knows how .to buy ho knows how to save. If ho knows the value of goods lie knows tho value of credit. If ho re spects what lie owns ho respects what he owes. Oneo on a timo.lt whb not so. Tho shnrp denier tried first to sell the spotted melon. Tho shrowd ■ trader figured tlmt tho onsiest guins enmo from tlm Ignorant buyer. But • now—and this dstinguishes the business man from tho huckster—the business man knows that tlm customor educated in values is the best customer. Permanent business—expanding busi ness—is tiio object of the business man. What people spend makes up today’s union from wliic|i come today’s profits. Wlmt peoplo snve flows into the great prosperity fund that keeps business mov ing; which ertoatest ,moro production; which returns moro wages; which en hances purchasing power. Wise spending creates today’s gains. Wise saving promotes permanent buBi- noss—oxpumling business. And tlmt is wlirit wo are all after. • o RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS. Many parents loso sight of tho fact tlmt tho vuention period is one Of grnvo danger to tho growing child. Tlm boy or girl just out of school feels like tiio enged bird that is suddenly re leased from captivity. It glories in its freedom to tho exclusion of all else. Mnny of tho lessons in deportment that lmvo boon learned in the class-room nro gradually forgotten ■, us the child flnds'its way to tho stroot. There is no room in its heart for nuythng, blit the glorlos of tho present, unless tho paren tal bund is over guiding its steps. The future is a sealed hook which will bo opened only too soon for its purpose. Herein the function of the parent be comes of double importance to tiio fu ture life of tlm child, for tho careful work and training of tiio tenclmr must bo carried, on through tiio days and weoks of tlm vacation period, not to tlm extant of hampering tlm child in its rest nnd reoupornton from clnss-rortui con finement, or deprving it of tho innocent| pleasures of life, blit rather tlm daily impressing upon its young mind the necessity for continuing tho rules of conduct learned in tlm hours of study. Children are quick to loarn and oqunlly quick to forgot: An impression may sink deep toiiny and be forgotten, but if it js repeatedly brought to tho atten tion of the juvenile brain 4 will ovontfi- ftlly take root nml live. Tim toucher is responsible to the pm rent for tho proper instruction of tho child during its hours of study, but tho pni-ent has a double responsibility—to both the teacher and tiio child—tlm re sponsibility of safeguarding tlm work of both. THE WOMAN ALWAYS PAYS. Joan Newton in Philadelphia Public Ledger. The pastor of n church in New Jersey deserted his wife and children nnd ran away with a young girl. When they re turned, as they inevitably do, tlm pastor wns forgiven by his wife and family to whom lie returned nnd was reinstated as shopherd of his flock! Tha girl wns thrown out of the church—also her old parents. Now, the treasurer of nnothcr church in the samo State hns dono tho same tiling—only he 'complicated matteret slightly by taking with him tho church funds. , ThiH couple, too) hnve come bock. Tlm former church dignitary is .being per mitted to make restitution for the money 1m stole, and his pnstor hns already called upon him with overtures from tho wife and . family Who are waiting to take him back. And whnt Is going to happen to this girl7 Well, they can’t throw her out of the Bnme churcb where they are rein stating the partuer of her brief joys, because she came from the next town. But sho has boon forced to leave the town wltoro she wns awaiting the out come of his trial for theft, and. ten to one sho will be driven out of- her own church, and probably hor own town, too. Much hns been written and sung nbout “the woman pays.” But in this day of enlightenment and presumed single standards, we would not have believed it possible In a supposedly civilized com munity that the man would go so froe of censure while tho girl is Btoned. Yet that Is what is happening in the second instance within a few. mouths. Wo hold no brief for the girl who breaks up a home. Neither, are we dis cussing the projs and cons of punishment versus the “second chance..’’ But the point is that the' men, older and with much greater responsibility, who shared equally in tho offense, were invited back and handled with kid gloves, while the girls found tlm world drawing away its skirts. And while there may be, let us hope that there is, more sanity and justice in othot communities through out the country, one thing is certain, nnd that is that tho world has changed very little in this regard Bince tlm orig inal Mngdeleno—the woman does pay. And it behooves every girl, even if she is not inspired by conscience and ideals, to shun thq path of iniquity, to do it as a matter of, self-preservation. For, as surely as night follows day and the. day tho night, the woman pays. MARKETING PLANS OF THE GEORGIA FARM BUREAU FEDERATION 1 — Realising tho urgent need of hotter marketing of farm products tho Georgia Farm Bureau Federation 1ms created n Farm Bureau Exchange, tvhosk object is nut only to find mnrkots nnd disseminate information relative to prices, market conditions, staimrdixntion nnd pack ages, but more largely to act ns the direct agent for .farm bureau members having agricultural products for sale, or" wishing to buy commodities which enter directly into production. This exchange will function in throe mtiin lines for farm products raised ill considerable' quantities throughout tho State or any section of it. Tim 4x cliango will foster and orgauize com modity associations which will give the producers tho advantage of co-opera tive marketing of their commodities. For example, sweet potato associations nro now being formed in several counties urider its auspices, nnd these will ’ be united into a State association which will be known as the sweet potato division of the Georgia Farm Bureau Exchange. In cases where conditions will not au thorize the formation of a county com modity association the county fnrm bu reau will appoint a marketing committee who will devise means' for listing nnd assembling such commodities and dispose of them through tho State exchange ns their agent. A small fixed charge will be mhdo for this service iu order to maintain the exchange. A third service of the exchange will be. in tiio purchasing of commodities en tering directly into production, thus giv ing tho farmer the advantage which oilier manufacturers have of purchasing in wholesale lots. I n order to carry out this plau it will lie necessary for each county farm bu- SUMMARY OF WORK FOR JULY— Number of days worked 20 J uly 4 to 9 token ns annual lonvo.
