HOUSTON IN THE RING
An articlo under the heading of
“Karra Development” was repro
duced on the editorial page of the
Homo Journal from the Atlanta-
Oonstitution.
This articlo was based upon a
statement from the Macon Cham
ber of Commerce had put on a de»
, termtned drive for Middlo Geor
gia development.
In this connection it was stated
♦ith authority that “the state of
Georgia at largs spends annually
$75,000,000 of food and food pro-
duct* which are and Bhould be
produced at homo. M
The campaign commended for
farm betterment embraces the en
tire area of Houston county and
our best and most progressive
farmers and all business mon
should be in the ring with all
their best qualities and most de
termined energy.
The Chamber of Commerce pro
poses that in a circle of sixty miles
the farmers can and should pro
duce all produots they need and
moro.
The laud and farmers of Hous*
ton county are equal to the best
in the state. But, they are far
from being up to date to the ca
pacity of their production-
We dare say that any high-grade
farmer in Houston couuty would
be offended should it be Baid pub
licly that he is backward in farm
management and agricu ltural
production.
is not a guess that our farm
ers are buying each year many
needed produots that can and
should grow on their own fawns.
There are several counties in
Georgia whose fanners have adopt
ed the oo-operative plan, includ
ing merchants and banks- With
a specified plan they have worked
out of the debtor class, and are
now selling much more than they
buy.
Houston could and should do
likewise. At least some of the
most progressive fanners in this
county should meet together aud
determiue to make Houston coun
ty the leading county in Georgia.
Let them at once get in touch
tMth the plan adopted by the Mn-
con Chamber of Commerce.
.The Horae Journal will help on
the publicity plan, if requested.
TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION IN JAPAN
The Islands of Japan are in a
terrible plight as a resuit of ji
tidal wave, earth quake and fire
which vjsited that country during
the past five days.
Yokohama, Tokio and ma«y
other large cities have been
practically destroyed, with cosual-
ties estimated at a half million
people. One island of the group is
reported to have been completely
submurged and all its inhabitants
drowned. Millions are said to be
homeless and helpless- T b e
Americans Consolate was destroy
ed and many Americans have not
yet been heard from.
Supplies and medical aid have
been dispatched on American war
ship.
The catastrophe is said to be the
greatest of modern times though
lull reports are not yet available.

The only thing
harder to keep than
money is a hired girl.
The aeroplane may
eventually abolish the automobile
but the jackass will never leave us

THE MORALITY OF HOSE
From ‘‘The Heart Euowcth,”
by Mfu. Horace Tromlett.
Did you ever see a girl display
ing a pair of cotton legs to the
public eye? Never. If her skirts are
short she keeps them under the
sea'iYet the most virtuous womin
is not proof against a pair of good
silk stockings A mother of six,
with ankles to match, will dangle
them in a room full of strange men
without turning a hair. Modesty
went out when silk stockings came
in. Even silk stockings are not all
the same. Some are worse than
others. You kuow the kind tnat
are silk all the way? I mean to
say, there is no stopping them.
Then there are those wliioh know
whore to drdw the line; they
hegin to be eotton about half-way
up. Quite a number of women wear
that sort; you can see it in their
faces.

Bill says the foot that rocked
the orndle is now usually to be
found stopping on.the accelerator.
This is probably tho sort of

making hay, says Bill helplessly.
These girls who keep their
eyebrows thinned out find that it
takes a lot of pluck.
No matter how shiftless a man
may become hois always .ready to
give advice, says Bill.

Doubtless the official anthem of
the Ku Klux It Ian is “K-K Katy. ’

he has a mirror that enables him
to look backward, but that sort of
thing wouldn’t help statesmen
much.
