M VKING MISTAKES.
We all n.ake mistaKes, whether in
newspaoer work, behind the coun
ter in store or behind the railings in
a bank. It is human to make mis
takes, and so long as we are born,
mistakes are going to occur. Here
is an incident told by a Florida ex
change which is in keeping with the
average citizen who is not acquaint
ed with the many details which go
to make up a newspaper:
“We made a mistake in last week's
paper. A good subscriber told us
about it. The same day there was
a letter in our postoffice box that
didn’t belong to us. We called for
98 over the tdephone and got 198.
We asked for a spool of No. 50
thread and when we got home
we found tfcht is was No. 60. The
train was reported thirty minutes
late. We arrived at the depot twen
ty minutes after train time, and the
train hid gone. We got our milk
bill, and there wasa mistake of ten
cents ir. our favor. We felt sick,
and the doctor said we were eating
too much meat. We hadn’t tasted
neat for two months. The*garage
ran said the jitney was missing be
muse it needed a new timer. We
ist cleaned a spark plug, and it has
un fine ever since.

earned $565 a year, and those who
had completed a high 'school course
earned an average of $664. The

tural short course earned $896, and
those who had graduated from the
agricultural college were earning an
average of $1,254 a year.

PLAYING THE GAME.
By ERNEST CAMP.
For when the one Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,

But how you played the game.
There’s lots qf shining attributes

o me there’s one that gleams far
ing along the van—there’s one that
fts its lofty head toward the vault
'd sky, and, all sufficient, seems to
mile and lesser things decry.
The best of traits is honesty, a wil
ingness to pay, an all consuming
vish to meet your fellowman half
way; a biunt, determined aim to
■lean life's vari-colored slate of all
tie debits it contains, regardless of
one’s fate.
I like the man who’s known as
’.-aight, the man who likes to pay,
who doesn’t squirm and lie and cheat,
who doesn’t run away; I like the
i; n whose word is held as sacred
his life, who won’t evade, or trim
u shirk, no matter what the strife.
I like the man who tries to pay,
■ gardler.s of the tides, who shuts his
es to all save that where honor
;ght abides, who stints and strives
d slaves to meet his just and hon
i debts, then turns his face toward
sun, unfettered by regrets.
It’s simple work to pay your debts j
hen money’l flowing free, for all
.inkiud is honest then —:t s easy as
, an be —but he that counts in this
arid's work isn’t honorable by
spurts, accepting fortune as it comi s
he’s honest when it hurt*.
If man could know and feel the
pride his neighbors entertain for
those that follow honest paths in
sunshine and in rain—if he could
view the world’s respect and confi
dence I ween he’d never stoop to
claim its scorn, its calumny and
spleen.
Misfortune comes on unannounced
to high and low degree, sometimes
engulfed, enmeshed, man sinks while
■i Higgling to be free; sometimes
fat’s fickle hand removes his one
last, sole support, and failure spreads

the fort.
But he that does his level best in
good times and in bad, who does not
metamorphose self from gentleman
to cad —yea he that strives to do the
right and does it without fear will

Atlanta, Gd., November 19.
Reading newspapers has come to be
such a universal everyday habit that
a newspaper correspondent this
or.e, for instance, might write a stor.,.
on the subject and not furnish ma
terial, exactly intended for the
news editor’s waste basket.
The ordinary education nowadays
is really as much a newspaper edu
cation as a public school education.
It might also be said that the big
gest thing the schools can do is to '
teach children to read the daily
papers with understanding a. d pro- ]
lit. With such a start they can
carry on their education indefinite -;

In these busy days ho citiren can |
investigate at first hand all the
matters taken in charge by his pub
lic representatives. What news-'
papers are for is to collect the most!
important facts about such activities
and present them to the attention ox
he citizen.
Easy to Discriminate.
As for discrimination in the kind
of matter picked for preferred read
ing in any newspper that is done
easily and naturally by the, rgader
himself. The modern paper covers
the wide field of human life so thor
oughly that any one able to read can
find something to interest him.
The editorial column, interpreting
the news of the world, bringing the
application of all kinds of happen
ings, domestic, and foreign, down to
their relation to the citizens at home,
is the heart of the paper. In it he
finds unbiased opinion on non-parti
san subjects, and t.ue editors best
judgment on parti-an matters.

RICHARD LLOYD JONES
SAYS
Be A Leader
Wliat a man does to help or harm himself is of little concern to
(lie world, but what lie does to help or harm the many is of much con
cern.
Edward Everett Hale told us that many a “fathead" has gained
a reputation for being “safe'’ simply because he didn’t have brains
enough to play anything else but “safe.” To illustrate, lie tells of
a man lie knew who acquired a local reputation for virtue among tfco
thoughtless because he was always telling how careful lie was to pro
tect his own body from alcoholic and other harms. Among the same
people he established a reputation for wisdom because in the legislative
chambers where he held a seat he confined his public utterances to two
speeches, one, “There has been so much said and so well said that I can
add nothing”; the other, "I quite agree with the gentleman on the other
side of the house."
Very broad, liberal and convincing, this chap!
Put negative goodness on the scale that weighs virtue and you will
Bnd the index finger on the dial has not left zero. The virtue that
weighs lias force, passion, fire, resolution, determination, GO.
Virtue is measured by one’s eagerness to save not alone himself
Imt others, not to keep himself alone in the channel of the stream but
to bring the driftwood of the edges into the current as well.
The makers of progress are they who try to help other progress.
A mediocre mind can say, "Me too.” A weak mind can say, “I
don’t." It takes a great man to hold a great idea and to lift it np
that all may see It. «
Progress Is not affected by the derelict hut by the driver In whose
heart Is found the passion not for one man's preservation but for all
men's, not for advantage, but for justice; who is not concerned about
what the world may think of him but al>out what he thinks of the world,
w Uo is eager to do for others rather than have others do for him.

THE FAIR STORE, J. Cohen, Prop.
Jp Remind Men of Their Defects on the Theory That Their Strong
I Points Will Take Care of Themselves [
Pitch In-But at the Right Place
John T. Pratt, prominent New York banker and strong
backer of the budget system, says that when the business men
of America make up their minds to mix in, roll up their sleeves
and get down to a working basis with the people, with whom
the politicians and the agitators work, there will not only he
less discontent, because there will be more understanding among
the farmers and miners and mill hands, but also there will be,
and for the same reason, fewer radical remedies for such ills
as there are.
Mr. Pratt is right providing his definition of the business
man embraces the Wall Street financier. The manufacturer’s
contact with the working man has been close for years. The great
est misunderstanding lies between the financier, whose opera
tions spell high prices for what the farmer has to buy. and the
low priecs at which the farmer is compelled to sell. !l di -
contcnt springs from that. Try as we will to put the truth
behind our backs, the prosperity, the peace, the content of the
American people ear. be gauged always by the barometer on
the American farm. When the farmer enjoys the benefits' of
the square deal discontent disintegrates all down the line.
Mr. Pratt need feel no alarm about the business man not
‘mixing in.” The day of aloofness has about passed. Big
business has come to see :hat it must mix in, that it must get
off its perch, that the man in the mill anti the man behind the
spade will be taken into consideration whether or no.
Indeed, the best mind today, for selfish reasons if for no
other, feel the stern necessity of finding some leal Solution of
our economic maelstrom. Up to date they have dealt only with
Tfecls. They have temporized, but they have not cured. As
soon as they gat down to causes a more permanent relief will
oe in sight.
Perhaps it might be well for big business, when it does roll
up its sleeves, as Mr. Pratt suggests, to begin its physical exer
cise by squeezing the water out of the railroads and permitting
passenger and transportation rates to simmer down to an honest

.I?r.s‘. Housewife : This newspaper
will publish “Helpful Hints” in this
form at regular intervals. We sug
gest you clip this column and paste
it in your recipe booh.
Washing Blankets— When washing
blankets remember it is important
to keep all the rising waters the same
temperature. Another thing the
rinsing waters should be soapy if you
wish to keep the blankets light and
iluffy.
• * *
Scorching—Here is a new one —
that is, a new one on me, but as re
gards its working ability that I am
sure of. If an article has been
scorched while ironing, wet with cold
water and lay where the sun will
shine quickly on it. The mark will
soon vanish.
• • »
Paint— Paint, no matter how old,
may be removed from cloth if this
secret is followed. Apply olive oil
first (enough to soften the paint) and
then drop on some chloroform.
• • •
Dates —Paper which has dried on
dates may easily be removed if the
package of dates are put in an oven
which is of medium hot tempera
ture.
• • •
Phonograph Records —'A friend
had some phonograph records which
had become very soiled. She was
about to give them np as hopeless
when I suggested trying some alcohol
with a soft cloth. She rubbed each
one gently and they are now as good
as new.
• • *
Brass Beds —The brass on beds
may be cleaned if it is rubbed with
a mixture of salt and vinegar or salt
and lemon juice. When it has become
bright wash with soap and water, then
dry. If vaseline is then rubbed on,
it will prevent their tarnishing for
quite some time.
• • •
Oil Cloth—ls the oil cloth on the
kitchen table is pasted on instead of
being tacked it will not wrin
kle, and wear longer. Flour is good
to use for the paste.
• • •
Cleaning Silver—Try the follow
ing next time you clean your silver,
and I believe you will always continue
to use it. Boil the silver in an alumi
num pan into which has been shaved
almost a quarter of a bat of ivory
soap and add a tablespoon of table
salt. Boil for ten minutes, rinse with
hot water, and then dry. This is said
to be harmless, save labor, and make
the silver look like new.

GWINNETT CONSUMED 558,357
GALLONS OF GAS IN 1922
According to the records in the
state department of agriculture,
558,357 gallons of gasoline were con
sumed in Gwinnett county during
1922. This is the amount which was
inspected at tank stations by the
local oil inspector and on which the
state inspection tax of one-half cent
per gallon was collected. Of this
amount, approximately four-fifths
was turned into the state treasury,
the inspection work being done on a
piece work basis, and the inspectors
over the state only getting a small
part of the total amount pai.d for
their work by the oil companies.
In this respect, it is interesting to
note that there was a difference of
8,359,838 gallons between the amount
of gasoline inspected, and the
amount upon which the state road
tax of 1 cent per gallon was paid.
This is accounted for by the fact
that the inspection work is done by a
force of inspectors, none of whom
are op salary basis, while the road
tax is paid by the oil companies to
the comptroller general’s department
and the legislature has failed to
provide any machinery ::or checking
payments.
Recently, as a result of the dis
crepancy noted above, the comp
troller general’s office has been
checking their records for 1922 item
by item with the oil inspection de
partment records. They have al
ready discovered one lot of gasoline
of 1,178,105 gallons', imported by the
Hercules Powder Company, of
Brunswick, on which the 1 cent 'tax
was not paid. The company claims
that it is not due to pay this tax, in
asmuch as the gasoline was used as
a solvent in the manufacture of ex
plosives, and not as motive power for
vehicles. The law, however, makes
no distinction such ,as this and the
comptroller general will irfsist upon
its payment, it is said.
The necessity for continuing this'
check between the two' departments
is now much greater than before, in
asmuch as the state tax has been
raised to 3 cents per gallon. It will
be seen that, at this rate, the eight
million odd gallons on which no tax
was paid in 1922, would cause a loss
to the state of over $240,000. Even
at the 1 cent rate the loss was over
