COMFORT, Supt. North*™ District of Georgia- _ Entered at the" Post Office at. Law reneeville, Georgia, as Second Class Mail Matter, under the act of Con gress of March 3rd, 1870- A FLOCK OF HENS. The man who has a flock of hens laying for him this winter won’t have the tax eollectcr ‘ layin ? for him next year.—Tifton u.ar.c t ■ A flock of one hundred good hens will bring in as much cash as a cot ton crop. It will come in every wet k in the year and enable the own er of the farm to operate cn a cash basis. The trouble here in Georgia is that we have not been giving enough attention to poultry. Good dairy cows and laying hens will prove real life savers. —Jackson Progress-Argus. WE ARE TOO EASY ON OUR SELVES. Most of ous flatter ourselves too much. We blame our failures upon others. We excuse ourselves from any fault when things do not. go right. We cannot see our own faults. If we do, we arc too cowardly to ad mit them. In order for our characters to de velop we must be hard on ourselves. Strength and power comes oniy to the fellow that blames himself for his failures. In this way he wins success through failures. The man who excuses himself will continue to fail, and his failures will become more pronounced as he advances ip life. The man who is stern with himself who demands of his life powers that they do better next time, will put forth more effort from time to time and this way from failure and steps ■out into the fields of success and prosperity. And this brings happi ness. Sit down and go over' Carefully your life for 1923. Note all the fail ures you made. The cause of these failures lie in you. Admit it. And then demand of yourself that you get out of the rut that led to such failures. All life come through struggling. If you are not willing to face the issues of life bravely and fearlessly, striking out for the best things, you will hare to be satisfied with the meagre existence that fate will give you. Pate is not for you nor against you. She lets you settle the question for yourself. TOBACCQ ACT SHOULD STAND. It is indeed unfortunate that the Atlanta retail tobacco dealers should have carried the act passed by the legislature imposing a tax on cigars and cigarettes to the courts. While the lax bring- in millions to the treasury, its enforcement will no work a hardship on anyone. The consumers of cigars and cigarettes will nt obj jet to paying the few cents rdd ‘d to the cost. The state is in a deplorable financial condition and through some source additional rev enue must be raised if we ever hope to free the state from debt and re tire our obligations. The court proceedings will delay the enforcement of the law for the time being, but in the end it is be lieved that the law will be construed as legal and binding on all dealers and that the tax as provided in the act will stand the test of all legal procedures. If, however, there should be found some flaw or illegal v’ording in the iheas.ure, it’is only a quo-tion of time until the next ses sion of the legislature when such de fects can be amended and the law perfected to meet all requirement of a legal character. The stamp act is patterned after the gasoline measure which has stood the test and there should be no bick ering on the part of the tobacco dealers for delay and defeatin': this all important measure. The payment of confederate soldiers’ pensions and the support of the Sanatorium at Alto, is depending upon the revenue from this source. With the enforce ment of the law being checked by court order there is no teling what may be the result,' insofar as these two departments of the state arc concerned. Since action has been taken through the courts, it is to be hoped that it will take the course of a “fast case” and hat the decisions of the higher court may be rendered with ut serious delay.—Athens Banner- Herald. .

And ho is not likely to feol the farmer by alluding to his proposed bill as an “expenditure tax.” The people are already taxed to death. The farmer already is suffering severely from having to pay exhorbitant prices for the things he has to buy while obtaining very low prices for what he lias to .sell, and, unquestionably a .ales tax will not lessen this burden. The Senator who ad mittedly is one of the country’s foremost experts in taxation, •rics to'cross this bridge and assuage the farmer by providing that all expenditures below $6,000 shall be exempt from the pro ,l tax, but it is difficult to see how this will affect the farmer .iiv more than any other class of our citizens. ' The expenditures of the farmer as a fact arc usually on a larger scale than the expenditures of men personally engaged In man y other industries. Moreover, Senator Smoot should re member if there is one characteristic 1 hat stands out in the man with the hoe it is the spirit of fair play which always bespeaks opposition to elass legislation. The farmer s cry is for a square deal. He docs not ask anyone to discriminate in his favor. All he asks is that the government, shall not discriminate against him.

Humanity cannot forget its flreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know. He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it. Columbus cherished a vision of another world, and he dis covered it; Copernicus fostered the vision of a multiplicity of world* and a wider universe, and he revealed it. Cherish your vision*; cherish your ideals; the cherish the music that stirs in your hearts; the beauty that forms in yoar mind; tha lovliaeee that drapes your thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful con ditions; all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built. Dream lofty dreams, nr.d as you dream so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you trail one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; tho bird waits in the eg-g; and the highest ' : n of the seql a waking angel tirs. Dreams ar? the seedlings of realities. —James Allen. New and Second Hand Fords. *•' ' > * H.

Will \ -sic Twelve Arr.erican Cities While Here- By JOHN THOMAS WILSON New York.—ln 1630, a great pestilence fell upon the land of Ba'cria. Plague, poverty, hunger and death was on every hand. Finally the people turned to God and asked that they might be relieved —and their suffering was relieved. In the little village of Oberammergau, which still stands near Munich, the people were very grateful. They gathered together and in 1033 a pledge was made—and an oath taken to always worship God who had delivered thm. Then was conceived the idea to establish a rite which would never let the people of Oberammergau forget. It was decided to re-enact the life if Jesus, the Christ, once every ten years for throe hundred years. It w'as called “The Passion Play.” That pledge will have been fulfilled ten years hence —1933. From that humble idea has devel oped influences which have been world-wide in effect. It has mad-? the people of that village devout, stu dious and Christian. It has made their village known in every land. It has caused thousands to journey atross continents and seas to witness the greatp roduetion—and thousands have lived better lives as a result thereof. Quartered today in New York is a litle band of potters and wood carvers —pilgrims to our land of promise rfom Oberammergau. They have come to sell their wares—all money therefore to go toward re lieving the now starving women and children of their little valley. When they have completed their task, vis iting aobut 12 cities in the U. S., they wil return to their work bench es in the quaint crooked streets of idyllically peaceful Oberamme-gau. Christus, Peter and Judas Heading this band of craftsmen, is Anton Lang, who three times in the last thirty years has portrayed (Christus) in the great Passion Play. With him is his brother An drea Lang (Peter), and Guido Mayr (Judas). Others who portray lesser characters are also in the party. This is the first time any member of the company except Anton Lang has been out of Oberammergau. Be fore the party left for America they were gathered in the simple quaint dining room of Anton Lang, the Christ player. Many of the people did not want their great players to go out into an unknwn world, where their minds might be distracted from the pure idyllic Christian lives they lead. For be tknown that ever;,' boy born in Oberammergau at his earli est age is imbued and inspired with the dea to live and think that he may mould his character and b* selected to one day portray the Chrieoa* in The Passion Play. The. money for thi* expedition wa* advanced by an American relief ao ciety, George Gordon Battle ie eh air man of the committee which fi nanced the trip. Said Anton I.ang: “We are here to save the little * Passion Players Awe-Struck But - Unaffected Amid New York’s Glitter J-s&'vM vEnal'*'**** '■ »* •vF s*/ * ». te^‘ From tho valley of Oberammargau, In Bavaria, where their live* are molded to tho character they aapira to portray in “The Passion Play” (produced every 10 years) has home a small band of wood carvers to sell their wares, all returns to help feed their starting women and chil dren. It is,their first trip away from their valley, Though awe-struefc anu marvelling at tbe life and glittet of New Y9rk, # they refuse to ho moved fr. majheir simple Christian thinking and ways of living. Head ing the poop is Antoa Lang, who is the present ChrUtut, having por trayed Janus in the last three productions, his brother Andrea Law. Peler and Onldo Mayr, Judar A Total Lots Si and Hi were courting the tame widow. Hi had his peture taken shewing him siting astride a mule. hen they called at the widow’s house, Hi displayed the picture. Si stood gazing at it. “That’s a good photo of me, ain’t it, Si?” asked Hi. “Sure, it looks something like you,” snapped Si "but who the deuca is thek man on your back?” SEND US YOUR JOB WORK children of our village. We are serv ing HIM who said, ‘Suffer Little Children to come unto me.’ Under no conditions will we present The Pas sion Play in America or outside of Oberammcrgau. We don’t come here with the idea of getting rich. All we ask in return for our wares is suffi cient te alleviate the suffering at home. Considerable money has been advanced to us by kind Americans. All of this will ba returned before we take one eent.” Bearing •( Trio Demands Reverence Standing with tiis hat off, Lang bore a marvelous resemblance to the traditional idea of Christ. His man ner is simple and humble. On either side of him stood Peter and Judas. So much did the trio portray the characters that hardened reporters v.nconsciourly assumed a reverent at titude completely out of step with their usual methods. The Passion players have received many offers to produce the play for money. One motion picture company offered $1,750,000 for the exclusive picture rights. Herr Mayr, player of Judas, has been offered handsful of gold tc give one scene from the Passion Play in the home of a New York millionaire. All of the party have lived in a virtual dream since leaving home. When the wonders of New York were reached they stood in awe struck w-onderment, knowing not what to do or say. Its magnificence and abundance dumfounded them. In fact, they have felt all along that they have- been ginning. Every time they sit down to the luxury of a meal, according to those looking af ter them, they think and mention the starving at home and it seems to spoil their enjoyment of the good things to eat. New Yor with all its life, its glit ter, its sin and materialism has left these humble Chrstjans awe-etryot and bewildered. But be it also said these men of Oberammergau, hold ing true to their simple thoughts and humble ways, have awakened new thoughts to thousands here—snd both shall profit.
