WHY NOT RAISE MEAT?
South Georgia has come to the
front in the meat industry which has
grown to be one of the best paying
of all resources in that section. The
Wrightsville Headlight has the fol
lowing to say of the hog sale held
there last week:
Four big car loads of hogs were
sold here Wednesday of last week to
the highest bidder, the largest lot of
hogs in weight yet sold at any co
operative sale since they begain in
this county two years ago. There
were 50,247 pounds of the mix-fed
hogs, which sold at a price of $7.17
for tops.
There is ne reason why north Geor
gia should not do as much in hog
raising as have the people of South
Georgia. The climatic conditions are
mild and vegeattion is in growth the
year round making it inexpensive to
raise hogs. With a determined effort
on the part of the farmers meat suf
ficient to supply heme consumption
could be raised and a large surplus
for the markets. Georgia raised
meat is as good as anybtmtdayiayau
meat is just as good as western rais
ed meat and its production cost f ar
less. Every farmer should see to it
that a sufficiency of meat is raised
for his needs and like the South
Georgia farmer pool his surplus and
sell to the market, the proceeds being
additional income from his farm pro
ductio.
The time has come when we must
utilize our x-esources, and with pi-acti
cal economy practicedd there are
many ways in which this section of
the state can be made the richest of
all. The opportunities and the re
sources are here—it is up to us to de
velop them and profit from what we
are now throwing away or els not
taking advantage of the things which
are right here under our eyes and a
waiting our development. >-
TWENTY DOLLARS FOR A BEE.
A. L. Root, 83 years of age, and a
pioneer in the beekeepingr’s supply
business, died at his home at Medina,
Ohio, Monday.
Mr. Root founded the supply busi
ness in the early seventies and the
venture grew from a very insignifi
cant scale, where hand power was
employed, to an industry which is
now capitalized in the millions.
-The company in September, 1921.
established a branch house here, but
continued in this capacity only six
months. The business was turned
over to A. R. Ix-ish, who is the local
agent at this time.
Mr. Root often related to interest
ed gatherings the manner in wlti’h
he became interested in bees. He
was working in a field with some
laborers one day when a swarm of
bees went overhead. He expressed
the desire to own the insects and one
of the men offered to catch the
swarm for a dollar. The offer was ac
cepted and the man soon returned
with the cluster of bees in a box.
Mr. Root made a careful and pain
staking study of the bees and finally
bought for S2O an Italian queen bee
from Father Langstroth, who then re
sided in New York State. People
said “Amos Root was crazy, giving
S2O for a single ‘bug,’ but he fore
saw the possibities of bee culture and
rapidly branched out in the industry.
Mr. Root was a jeweler. He began
writing of his investigations and ex
periments with bees and the use of
the modern hive advocated by Father
Langstroth, and the orders for sup
pis began coming into him at his Ohio
home. He built a small factory to
manufacture supplies to satisfy de
mand and the business grew until the
parent company two years ago had
factories at Medina, San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Council Bluffs, lowa,
and one in Canada.
For a number of years Mr. Root
passed through this section annually
to his winter home in Bradentown
Fla. He was a devout Christian
and often related some wonderful ex
periences. In his last years, however
he had no active connection with t-he
great business bearing his name and

NO MORE NUNS TO TEACH
IN OREGON SCHOOLS
Washington, May f o.—The last
legislature of Oregon enacted a law
forbidding teachers in Oregon public
schools from wearing the garb of
any religious order. It was caused
by the fact that a number of public
schools in Marion and Washington
counties were being taught wholly
by nun s placed in their positions by
boards of school directors who were
Roman Catholic in their personnel.
Ths law goes into effect on May
24th, after which no nun may teach
in aii Oregon public school in the
dress of her order. While the law
does not prohibit a nun teaching in
the public school if she does not
dress as a nun, the country school
superintendent announces that none
of the nuns have signified any in
tention of coming up as capdidates

SUNSHINE
■■ 1 ' ■ “ ' *s~r ■■■ ■
Light is t2>e symbol of life. If, when the world
is in shadow, man wishes to signal the existence
of life, he holds up a light.
The locomotive throws ahead of it a stream
of light, which heralds the coming of a great,
throbbing thing.
Life is the most wonderful of all visible things
because it makes all things visible.
Light is the great painter. Red, green, blue
and yellow are one in darkness; they are differ
ent things in light. Light beautifies. “There
is no object,” says Emerson, “so foul that in
tense light will not make it beautiful.”
As light is the symbol of life, so also is dark
ness the symbol of death. We choose the day
through which to live; the night through which
to sleep.
Fill your life with light; don’t be a dead one.
Tear aw-ay from your w-indow the shutters of
anger, hatred, envy, jealousy and fancied wrongs.
Let in the sunshine. The world wastes little time
upon the fellow- who stands in the shadow of pes
simism and gloom. Go into the sunshine busi
ness. Radiate happiness; it pays.
The fact that is full of the sunshine spirit not
only helps itself but helps all who encounter it,
just as the flower of the field is brightened by
T UNCLE JOHN
About the saddest task of mine, when autumn comes
around, is beddin’ down the rose-bush that we leave out, in
the ground,—the house-plants don’t impress me, in their
shelter, nice an’ warm, but I’m sorry fer the rose-bush, that
yj ie must stand the winter’s storm. . . .
ru it none I gather up the litter an ’ the leaves about
UUI-UUUK t j, e j awili S orter strugglin’ with my feelin’s,
ROSEBUSH now that autumn’s nearly gone,—an’ I place
’em mighty tender, whar they ’ll keep the rose-roots warm, fer
I love the little rose-bush, that must stand the winter’s storm.
Then, I ketch myself reflectin’ that there’s many a human
soul, that is left out in the winter by-the things they can't
control, when the little things that’s wasted could be used to
keep ’em warm, till they bloom again, in springtime, with tlm
passin ’ of the storm. . . .
for reappointment as teachere in
civil garb.
The Oregon legislature found the
spectacle of a public school being
turner- into a religious academy dis
pleasing to all friends of that Amer
ican doctrine which divorces church
and state . The new law again
makes the public school a nonsec
tarian institute where Protestant
and Catholic, Jew and gentile, heath
en and Christian, may get an edu
cation without religious conflict, or
any attempt being made to proselyte
for any dogma or docti’ine. If the
Marion and Washington county con
ditions obtain elsewhere in America,
the remedy is found in a duplicate
of Oregon’s wise law.
Village for Boys Soon to Be Built.
Re\. Crawfcrd Jackson, general
secretary of the Juvenile Protective
Association, with headquarters in
Atlanta, who has taken the initia
tive in securing with the cooperation
of leading citizens, the juvenile court
system in more than 250 southern
citie # and towns, has left Atlanta on
a tou, of cities in Georgia ind other
southern states.
Mr. Jackson, as stated on the eve
of his departure, is especially inter
ested just now in the building and
equipping of the Junior Republic of
the South, a self-governing village
for wayward boys and girls, which
is to be located sixteen miles from
Atlanta.
Ir. a statement to the coirespon
dent of this news service, Mr. Jack
son said :
“In the first place, there is no in
stitution like it in the south or the
southeast. In the second place, the
junior republic methods have been
successfully tried out fer twenty
seven years at Freeville, N. Y.; also
in California and elsewhere for
shorter periods; and though the en

terprisc at Freeville, which was the

“Ir the third place, on the prin

of the average state reform school,
with the more euphonious name of

accursed and criminal custom in

The reformatory methods are gen

the morning sun. Be like the sun. Spread your
happiness everywhere; give it to everybody. It
is the most wholesome and helpful of all con
tagionp.
The sun is always at work. It molds the flower
into fruit. You cannot be filled with sunshine
and be idle. The sunny spirit is always busy at
some unselfish service. It goes through life
building a chain, each link of which represents
a day of helpful endeavor.
To make ourselves sunny we must make our
selves worthy. Our worth is measured not by
ourselves but by others.
The sun would be of little use to tins world
were it shut up within curtains, its warmth and
light kept to itself. So with you, you can do no
good when you do only for yourself. He who
thinks only of and works only for himself dies
unloved. He has spread no sunshine about him.
He has given no heart warmth to the world.
Real cheerfulness is not merely a matter of
inheritance; it is more than a passive virtue. The
most sunny are the most strenuous; they who do
most, give most, help most.
Throw sunshine on all the paths you walk and
cross in life. The world is always better for
being bright and warm.

COMMON LAW TO BE
RESTATED BY INSTITUTE
Washington, May 10.—The gift of
the income from more than a million
dollars, to continue for ten years,
payable to the American Law Insti
tute, to aid that organization in its
ambitious project of restating the
common law, has excited much fa
vorable comment among educators
and legal lights in the nation’s capi
tal.
It is explained that thirty of the
foremost lawyers of the country,
under the leadership of Elihu Root,
last May formed a committee to in
vestigate the causes of the law’s un
certainties and unnecessary compli
cations and the possibility of estab
lishing a permanent organization to
fulfill the public obligation of the
profession to promote the adminis
tration of justice, especially the
clarity and simplicity of the law.
After months of research and dis
cussion the committee issued a re
port, urging the establishment of a
law institute, the first and most im
portant work of the institute to be
the restatement of the law.
On February .23 last this report
and its recommendations were con
sidered in Washington at the most
notable gathering of the members of
the legal profession ever held in this
country. Those present included the
ch ; ef justice and members of the
supieme court of the United States,

That largely depends upon its condition and
appearance. If you do n9t protect your property,
against wear and weather—and good paint is the ONLY
protection—rot and rust will soon destroy it.
Painting is the best investment you can make,
for when for protection you paint for PROFIT.
Good paint, such as Pee Gee Mastic, not only adds to
the life and appearance of your property, but increases
its loan value materially. Ask your banker!
Mastic Paint
produces a beautiful tile-like film which successfully
resists the elements, does not crack, peel or chalk off.
The great durability and covering capacity is due to
the fact that Pee Gee Mastic is a DOUBLE PIGMENT PAINT—

in genuine linseed oil.
Pee Gee Mastic is by far the most economical paint you can use
