Keep boosting and working for the fair
Oct. 2G, 27 and 28.
Cotton may not be so strong in yield
this year, but it certainly is king in price
again this fall.
The farmer who has raised sufficient
food products to take care of home sup
plies, and makes his cotton crop a surplus
erop, should wear a broad smile this
time.
It is not s<. much what you make on the
farm that counts, hut what you
save. Gather everything this year an.'
do not leave a lock ot cotton in your
holds.
$lO5 a bale for a five hundred pound
hale of cotton and seed, is what Walker
cotton growers are realizing from the
fleecy staple this fall. And it looks now
as if prices will still go higher.
A county has never yet. realized its true
development, has never yet been able to
do its part by its people, when she is con
stantly knocked and kicked. A little kind
treatment, h willingness to give her a
chance and the spirit of boosting her is
the only way to make her great and her
people happy.
With ample savings facilities at your
very doors, every man in Walker should
lay |side something for a rainy day and
keep Walker county money at home.
Money at home is better than in circula
tion in tin* north and east and other sec
tions than our own. Patronize the home
waving departments.
Mr. Hughes is kicking now against the
eight hour law the Wilson administration
passed recently. lie doubtless thinks
eight hours is not enough time for him to
kick against the present administration.
After the November election he will have
eight hours every day for four years it:
which to kick
THE BEST INVESTMENT
Last week. K.G. Matheson, President
of the Georgia School of Technology in
Atlanta, made the request for some of At
lunta's wealthy citizens to invest a few
dollars in a few Tech students. Some of
the brightest, most worthy and most pro
mising young men attending the college,
cannot pursue their studies further un
less they have tiuaneial aid. They want
to borrow the money until they finish their
work and are out in the held producing,
dust what it would mean to them to he
forced to forego training there now, no
one could teU, hut we are sure Atlanta
citizens will not let the call go unheeded.
Unquestionably, there are a number of
young men ; n Walker county, who would
seek higher education and better training,
if they had the funds with which to tit
them better for life's battles. Many
young men who finish the schools in our
county novel aspire to higher develop
ment because they do not have the en
couragement and the finances. There are
citizens in Walker with surplus money,
who could not make better investments
than in worthy young men, who need
funds for higher training.
If you have means, select a young man
who has finished the high school work,
who is worthy and who needs tiuaneial
aid. Let him have money to pursue his
work in college, at a low rate of interest,
and we believe within ten years you will
'ooh upon that investment as the best yon
have ever mode.
Let us give Walker county boys‘and
girls the best chance for the future it iR
possible for ns to give them,
THE FAIR
A partial list of exhibits for which pre
miums will be offered, in the fair Oct. 2fi,
27 and 28, appears in this issue. The com
plete list of premiums will be published
in next week’s issue. Read over earefullj
this list and begin making up your exhi
hits.
Special prizes will be offered for com
munity exhibits, and it looks now as if
some attractive cash prizes will be offered
for many exhibits. Most of the premiums
subscribed to date are cash.
It is understood that more largely than
heretofore - fill premiums will go to the
farmers and the country people. Just so
nearly as is possible the fair will be made
a farmer’s fair in every particular, and it
behooves the farmers to bring their pro
ducts and help boost the enterprize. Plan
not only to come but to bring something
grown on your farm with you.
Remember special prizes will he offered
for community exhibits, and also remem
her that the fair management plans to
give as much prominence as possible to
the schools of the county.
EVERY MAN A LEADER
There never has been a time in our his
tory in the south when such opportunities
were offered for leadership. Every man
today may he a leader if he chooses, and
no county it: the stall* holds out to such
men such promises as Walker county.
In every community every man may
lead off with good ideas for the upbuild
ing of that community. There is so much
need of constructive work among us that
every man has a distinctive part to play
if lie will only realize it.
Schools, churches, Sunday schools, so
cial life, farm life, road building, relief
work, social service—these are some of the
objects which every man in every com
munity in Walker may lead off in.
I'ake up one of these objects in your
community and see what powers of lea
dership you have.
THE MOTOR BOOK
The Motor Book for Georgia is just off
the press, and is calculated to serve the
dual purpos -of an accurate guide and
help in developing and maintaining good
roads.
Time for completing the Dixie High wSy
is Thanksgiving, and from reports from the
various counties, it looks as if all Dixie
Highway routes will be finished by that
time. Some have thought this propagan
da is the most far reaching of a century
in developing the south. No stimulus has
ever been given the south in road building
as that of the Dixie Highway movement,
and as a result within a few years the
South will have roads equal to any sec
tion of the l nited States and the world.
What has been done within the past
year in road building has shown us just
what we can do when we go to work in
earnest tor an enterprize. This same
spirit shown in other lines of endeavor
will show equal results.
SAVE YOUR MONEY
People in Europe save more money than
those in the I nited States, notwithstand
ing the tact 1 hat wages in (lie United
States are much higher than in Europe
Statistics show that only ninety nine per
sons out of every thousand in the United
States have savings accounts. In Europe
the proportion is three to live times
higher.
Everyone knows that thrift without
saving does not lead to prosperity, and we
also know that in America there is the
tendency to extravagance. To hold our
prosperity a certain amount of every
man’s income should be saved.
From Walker county goes over s'loo,ooo
each year to other sections where saving
hanks and trust companies are established
This should not be, and we are glad that
movements are on foot and in the thought
of our business men, to keep Walker conn
ty money at home.
As will he seen in the advertisements
of the Bank of LaFayette and the Walker
County Bank in this issue, these two in
stitutions are installing savings depart
ments. This is a method being used by
these two institutions to keep Walker
county money at home. They should and
will have the co-operation of the people
of the county in this program for more
prosperity for Walker people.
Call in a» these institutions and have
these departments explained to you fully.
The price of shoes is high and therefore
it is costly to kick. Let us quit it in
W, *ker, agree on things, and go to work
for our good old county.
