MEMORIAL DAY
Georgia and other southern
states united Wednesday in the
observance of Confederate Me
morial Day.
Begun 71? years ago in Colum
bus, the custom of honoring the
Confederate dead was instituted 1
by the Ladies’ Memorial Asso
ciation, a post war organization
which grew out of the Soldiers’
Aid Society. Each year on Me
morial Day, April 26, a new gen
eration pauses to pay honor and
reverence to the heroes of the
Confederacy.
In recognition of the heroic
deeds performed by trie soldiers
of the Confederacy, programs
were held throughout the South.
It is well for a people to be
mindful of their heritage. Those
who do not revive and cherish I
the glorious memories of the
past will not have a future of
which to be proud.
Mortgage Moratorium Not New
The mortgage moratorium, which i
is more or less generally regarded
as a new device for Hie relief of the !
oppressed in time of widespread
economic disturbance, is not new at
all. The ancients knew about it. j
It was employed about 4,l!J[) years
ago, to bring economic protection to 1
a people who, because of conditions
over which they had no control, I
could not meet their obligations. The |
following quotation, which is found
in the Code of Hammurabi (Harp
er's Second Edition—l9o4), is offered
as proof the moratorium is not new:
“If a man owe a debt and Adad
(the storm god) inundates his field
and carry away the produce, or,
through lack of water, grain have
not grown in the field, in that year
he shall not make any return to
the creditor, ho shall alter his con
tracl-tuhlct and he shall not pay the
interest for that year.”
Known as ‘Crusaders Hymn’
Regarding the origin of the hymn
“Fairest Lord Jesus,” Cynthia
Fcarl Mans says: “Although this
hymn is known as the ‘Crusaders
Hymn,' it is doubtful that the Cru
saders ever sang it. The words
were written in 1(177, and Richard
Stuns Willis (1819-1900) translated
the original German in which it
was written and published the hymn
in America in 1850. The tune ‘Cru
saders Hymn’ was arranged by Pro
fessor Willis from a Silesian folk
song which appeared in a collection
of folk songs in 1842. Richard Wil
lis was a musician and a newspa
per man.”
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Prayer
A prayer by Robert Louis Steven
son was as follows: “The day re
turns and brings us the petty round
of irritating concerns and duties.
Help us to play the man, help us to
perform them with laughter and
kind faces. Let cheerfulness abound
with industry. Give us to go blithely
on our business all this day. Bring
us to our resting beds weary and
content and undisbonored and grant
us in the end the gift of sleep.”
Never Call ‘Quits’
Abraham Lincoln, in his own esti
mation, was down and out of poli
tics at the age of 50. He felt that
he had been unable to achieve one
single personal victory in 30 years
of constant effort. And yet only a
short time later, this man who had
experienced so many disappoint
ments and heartaches, this man who
considered himself an utter failure,
had by a stroke of destiny, become
President of the United States.
IMPROVED FARM PROGRAM
Increased acreages of hay,pas
ture, and woodland on farms of
co operators in erosion-control
areas in Georgia indicate that
conservation farming practices
ire providing a better balanced
farm program as well as protec
tion for farm land, according to
Jule G. Liddell, state coordinator
of the Soil Conservation Service.
Tabulations recently completed
on 1,756 farms in demonstration
areas and CCC camps engaged in
erosion control work in Georgia
show that, while crop land on
these farms has been reduced
more than 23,000 acres, pastures
have been increased by 5,000
acres, permanent hay by 6,000,
woodland by 13,000 acres, and
nearly 1,000 acres of formerly
idle land has been put to pro
ductive use.

CORNELIUS SCOTT,
By J. W. Blood worth,
His Attorney at Law,
Eyes on Shrubs Simply
Hidden Buds and Leaves
Eyes on shrubs are simply the
concealed buds from which point a
leaf or a branch will start; they
are scattered on both sides of the
branches, mere tiny bunches cf
thickened bark, more or less round
ed. The term eye is also used to
designate the center of a flower—
the brown or gold eye of a daisy, the
| center of the floret of a phlox, etc.,
points out a writer in the Portland
Oregonian.
A node is more than an eye; it is
that part of a stem on a shrub or a
tree or a woody vine similar to a
joint where leaves and buds have
their origin. A node sometimes
reaches around or through a
branch; growth will start on either
side—to form roots in the ground
when a branch is layered and to
| make upward growth.
A cutting taken with a heel means
| that a small bit of wood from an old
j er branch is left attached to the cut
ting. This “heel” may be only a
thin slice of such wood (when the
young stem grows out at an angle);
or it may be a whole short section;
then it is often called a “mallet” —
even a small cutting with a heel
looks like a little leaf-handled ham
mer with its head more or less
askew.
[ To “heel in” a plant simply
I means that it is laid down, more or
j less fiat, or slanted, with its roots
j covered with soil. This is only a
i temporary planting to keep growth
unchecked until the plant can go
into its permanent position.
The expression “heel in” is com- ,
monly used when bulb plants (nar- !
cissus, tulips, etc.,) are removed !
j from beds where they flowered to j
; some out-of-the-way spot where they j
j are allowed to remain until foliage
| has died down. This is necessary |
ito mature the bulbs. If taken up |
• with plenty of earth so growth is |
] not retarded it’s a convenient and t
1 safe way to make room for other j
flowers.
Advice on Nose Blowing
Vigorous nose blowing is all
wrong. The nose should be blown
gently at all times, regardless of
desire or provocation, according to I
the Journal of the American Medi- !
cal association. It is immaterial,
1 it declared, whether one nostril is 1
held open at a time. The opera-1
tion should be gentle, the Journal
said, because if too much pressure!
j is used the secretions carrying I
germs may be forced into the
l sinuses and establish sites of infec- j
