Ami still :ne auto takes its heavy
toll, or rather the reckless, care
less, speedy driver.
Revivals and cemetery cleaning
are not synonymous terms, but its
time for them both.
Call for the Fair Premium list if
you haven’t already done so. A full

A lot of people these hot days
even though they be Republicans,
•are having a hard time keeping
cool with Coolidge.
Will the legislature submit the
i>i-ennia! .sesssion question to the
I>eop!e? Not if the members vote
their personal convictions; it is too
pleasant to hang around the Kim
ball House.
The movement to extend the
work of the county agents in Geor
gia by the legislature is a good
move and here’s hoping it don’t go
the way of many other good move
ments in that body.
The latest big industry in the
South is the poultry game. A stu
dy of the hen is becoming popular,
fascinating and profitable, because
poultry is one of the six biggest
industries in the country.
For two long months politics in
Walker County have been on the
blink, but with the coming of wa
termelons, August Court and the
laying-by of crops, politics will
come to the front again.
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray
to be stronger men. Do not pray
for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your
tasks. Then the doing of your work
will be no miracle, but you shall
be a miracle— Phillips Brooks.
• Scholarships to the agricultural
• college, club work, county agents,
bookkeeping on the farm, co-oper
ative marketing etc., don’t get us
anywhere, says a farmer, but we
notice Walker county boys take
high rank in farm work when giv
en a chance to show their training.
For the past two months the
farmers of this county have work
ed with optimism and with a will,
and crop conditions show the ef
fects. 1 hey deserve a good crop
this year and if hard work and
sticking to the job means any
thing, a good crop will be produc
ed.
t '
i)0 YOU GRADE YOUR
FARM PRODUCTS?
“Have you decided to take those
potatoes yet,” said the farmer to
the merchant in LaKayette, the
other day? ’•No," said the mer
chant, "1 can't handle them, they
are not graded and my customers
want a more uniform potato. I'm
sorry.” “They are not mine”, said
the farmer, “but 1 was trying to
sell them for a neighbor, I always
grade mine and have never had any
trouble selling them.”
The farmer had gone to all tire .
stores that purchase ptoduce but
hud failed to sell his products and
had to take them back home.
This is a simple story in which
.4 great lesson is found.
Quite a large number of Walker
county farmers have long since
realized the wisdom of grading
their farm products, yet there are
those with us yet who think they
can “get by” in any old way and
that potatoes are potatoes, graded
or not. These farmers do not real
ize the demand of the buying pub
lic, and it is very hard now to sell
ungraded products.
The simple grading of products
always insures good prices, because
graded products are atrurtive to
the eye, present uniforn.ii,>, insure
good weigh and satisfy the con
sumer, and after all the consumer
is the one the farmer must play to
if he is to gain the best price for
his products.
The farmer in question could
have sold his potatoes here last
week if they had measured up to
the standard.
Grade your products, put the
best on the market, utilize the in
feriors on your farm or sell them
as culls and you will soon see the
wisdom of such procedure.
The farmer should keep the con
sumer in mind; he is the buyer in
the end and the merchant soon
finds out his tastes and his stan
dards and buys only those pro
ducts with which he can satisfy
his trade.
The co-operative marketing plan
is stimulating this very thing a
mong the farmers of the South and
that value alone is worth the price
of belonging to such an association.
Standardize and you will sell for
a profit; fail to grade and nobody
wants your products, and this is
the story in a nutshell.
KANSAS’ STORY
OF PROHIBITION
Os all the states in the Union
that has a right to speak upon the
good or bad of prohibition, Kan
sas is that state, because she has
had prohibition forty four years.
We call especial attention to the
story of Kansas’ experience with
prohibition, which is published else
where in this issue, and then you
may judge for yourself whether or
not prohibition really prohibits or
whether it is a good thing for the
country.
Forty four years ago when Kan
sas became a prohibition state, she
was far behind her sister states ill
every line of progress—materially,
socially, economically and religious
ly. Today she stands as a model to
the Union for progress in all those
things that make people happy and
contented.
For a few years it was almost a
death struggle and it seemed im
possible to enforce this law, since
every other state was wet, and
since she had to fight the money in
terests, corporations, politicians
within and without her borders,
wet < rganizations by the hundreds
within and without, but her
strength grew and her loyal men
and women were more determined
than the opposition knew. As an in
centive to other states Kansas led
the way and slowly at first other
states became sympathetic and fi
nally the Eighteenth Amendment
was passed, and today Kansas is a
dry stale in fact.
Crime, debauchery, whisky poli
ticians and unclean politics have
been minimized to a remarkable
degree, and the strongest senti
ment today in that state is for pro
hibition.
After 44 years of prohibition
Kansas does not even tolerate the
thought of returning to the days
of the saloon, and in that state the
whisky element need not offer for
offices of public trust.
What a splendid example of
courage in behalf of the moral is
sue to the world, and what a re
buke to the pusilanimous whisky
followers and newspapers.
Read the story of Kansas and
prohibition; it is inspiring and will
make you realize the fact that
the time is soon here when liquor
and its interests will not only be
outlawed in this country but will
b? banished forever.

APPRECIATION OF
CONGRESSMAN LEE’S |
FAITHFUL SERVICE
O O
The newspaper exchanges of the
District of last week’s issues, that
have come to the desk of the Messen
ger, all carry strong editorials of ap
preciation and endorsement of Hon.
Gordon Lee’s long service in Congress.
Os the number probably the most un
usual is that of the Cobb County
Times, at Marietta, which we repub
lish below, in order to let our people
know how Mr. Lee is appreciated
in the other counties of the District.
“It is rare enough to excite remark
in this world of ours to see a large
job largely filled. In public life today
we see many round pegs in square
holes. But sometimes the n easure of
the man and of the place agree. It is,
then, with something more than plea
sure that the Times carries in this is
sue the announcement of the Honor
able Gordon Lee, of Chickamauga, as
a candidate to succeed himself ijj Con
gress. He has no oposition.
“The Seventh District has always
done well in its representation jn Con
gress. From before the days of that
valiant champion, Wm. H. Felton,
whose head was sometimes bloody but
never bowed, its standard has been
borne by more then average mgn. To
such representation, Mr. Lee haa-glid
ed lustre. He has brought to the place
a fund of hard common-sense, a ripe
ness of mature judgment and a great
breadth of progressive vision that
make him worthy to sit in the council
of a great nation. Loyal to his dis
trict, loyal to his party, and loyal to
his friends, but of the semen-pyre, un
bossed and unterrified Democracy,
who carries his sovereignty under his
own hat, Mr Lee stands a peer among
men and congressmen.
“It is needless to describe here his
membership on various committee,
his work in connection with the Ap
palachian Forest Reserve, not soon
will be forgotten the time when he
was carried from a bed of well-nigh
fatal illness to record his vote. Well- |
known are his benefaction- t > the i
cause of education, and i; ie-worthy
his furtherance of agriculture through
his Boys’ Clubs. A man of means, he
never learned to despise a man be
cause he was poor; a man of educa
tion, he never learned to despise a
man because was ignorant. The Times
believes that in his capable hands we
can safely leave the ideals and am
bitions of our people, the harmonizing
of the just interests of agriculture,
labor and capital. We ongratulate
the Seventh District on .. represen
tation; we felicitate Mr. Lee upon the
district he represents.
