This represents enough gold dollars to build a system of paved roads connecting all the coun ties of the state, and it totals three and a half times the amount we now spend annually through all agencies for public education. It "aggregates more than four times the gross reve nues of the state and it would pay our public indebtedness off more than six times over, leaving a re spectable surplus in the state ireas urv. Titus, it is not soil but gold our / rivers are can,, mg .o tile sea. -t our one permanent resource that is being mined year by year, and even though we ore a prosperous peop e can not go on indefinitely. The world is crying for food and ever, thing possible should be done to keep every acre at at the highest stage of production. To this end we mm : practice, as has been stated before, deep plowing, crop rotation, the use of cover crops, the establishment of permanent pastures, and the ref ore tation of the hillsides. This will re duce our soil losses to a minimum. Alfalfa grows well on the Pied mont soils of north Georgia. There are thirty 1 three acres os the farm ef Georgia Btate College of Agri culture, and many smaller scattered all over Clarke One farmer in Jackson County 1 a field of forty acres that is him excellent returns on his ment. Lespedeza, bur etnver and other hay and pasture plants do in the state.

FAST LIVE-STOCK TRAINS PUT OF BY SOUTHERN i Atlanta, Oa., ,1 one—Two fast live stock trains to run every day in the year from Atlanta and Chatta nooga to Potomac Yards, Va., with connecting sen ice from Danville to Richmond, have just been established by the Southern Rr.:lw:y System to provide for the constantly increasing traffic in live stock and other perish¬ ables moving fro in the uth to Eas tern markets and Virgirya feeding grounds. How this traffic has grown is in¬ j dicated by the fact that this service was first established in 1012 to run once a week to serve a limi ed terri¬ tory in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina during the fall months. The territory was gradually kidened and in 1916 the service was made daily during the fall months. Now the entire Sou h is to be served through the trains rting from At Santa and Cna 000 ,ga and the trains are to run throughou: tiie year. They wilt handle only live stock and box j cars containing high class through 1 freight and will be moved through intermediate terminals without be. ing broken up. Including the time for feeding and resting at Spencer, these trains pro¬ vided schedule of 52 hours from At lanta to Potomac Yards and 61 hours from Chattanooga to Potomac Yards, as follows: Leave Chattanooga 8 AM (Cen t ra ] Time), Knoxville 4 PM, Ashe- i -jj 4;30 AM. arrive Spencer 1:30 PM. I Leave Atlanta 5 TM (Central Time), Greenville 5:30 AM, arrive Spencer 3:30 l’M. Leave Splicer 11:20 PM, Danville ! 5:30 AM, Monroe 11 AM, arrive (Potomac Yards 10 PM A Eastern • Time). Leave Danville 5:30 AM (Eastern I Time), arrive Richmond 2:30 PM (Eastern Time). KNOW THY COST Ascertaining your cost in an ap¬ proximate way is so easy that it is surprising few of the smaller print ; ing plants know what their overhead expenses really are. If every printer, whether he prints a newspaper or a visiting card, would stop and talk it over with himself he would decide that there is no ex cuse m all the wide world for him to print a piece of literature and sell it for less than it has cost him to pro duce. Too often, especially in a small shop, the printer is ashamed to tell his neighbor that one card will cost him a dallar or a dollar and a quar¬ ter. The card is such a little thing in itself and the piece of pasteboard it is printed on cost so very little when he thinks about it as only part of one sheet out of a bundle of 500 sheets, that it embar rasses him to charge even what it actually costs him to handle the job. The fellow who has to make a living out of a small printing office IS unjust to the lamily dependent I upon him for support if he fritters away his time on these little jobs and makes a present of them to his friends and neighbors. It costs him in actual time and money at least | seventy-five cents to turn out that J dollar job. Let him think of it in | terms of "six bits” and decide wheth : ■ er his grocer "would scorn a sale of j that size, whether his shoemaker j would be ashamed to charge him for la pair of rubber heels—less valuable j in what they represent than that one ] card—and whether his merchant would refuse to charge him anything [for a pair of slippers because they are worth only 85 cents. None of these is embarrassed where the ■ charge is even as small as a single 'jitney and the printer shouldn’t be so much prouder than these other ■ business men all around Jiim. j Much of the time of a busy “little printer” is frittered away on just suc h jobs for he is usually the only one j n his line in the town and all the “thank you ft jobs come his way as u matter of course. But when he be¬ gins to probe into what he is paying himself for his own time and what costing him hour to 1 own it is every his shop and whtlt his rent and tele¬ phone and lights and water and post eftice box rent and stationery and everything else that is essential to the business, are costing him by the hour, he awakens, stiffens his back bone, charges what is ri^'ht AND INVARIABLY GETS MORE BUSJ NESS. Note that fact, please! The man doesn’t lose any business HE GETS MORE, That is another fact very ~ easily demonstrated. Almost anyone has an example or two right around him. Perhaps it isn’t in the printing business, hut when the printer really gets awake he sees that from a busi ness standpoint there’s isn’t an iota of difference between a greengrocer and a printer. And somewhere in his range of vision is a live wire who figures his cost and gets it with a little profit before he lets loose of good time and goods! t Don’t be afraid of the public! hv, bless your life, the people of is country are just like they always were They would rather trust them . selves to a prosperous prjntshop that : turning out good work and chtu gmg a good profit for doing it, than to leave their job in a dirty, dark, slipshod shop that promises to do the same work for half the money. You’re that way yourself, and su.-ely you don’t think you’re a freak. Put vourself in the other fellow’s place. How would you feel if your grocer should refuse to make a charge qf. two pounds of cheese because he is too proud to deal in such figures or because he thinks the price is higher than you can really at lord to pay? Don’t make your customer and your¬ self teel small together over a jab. Figure what it costs, add your P* 0 ' ■t fit, and tell your customer, If he doesn’t want it at that price, neither of you has lost anything. If you sell it to him for xactly one-half what it costs to make it, he’ll very likely say you made a good profit. Bear in that he doesn’t know, but that it is , your business to know, and, if you don’t know, find out quick before you give away your suspenders and earmuffs.—The Business Printer. o When we are little boys we carve our initials in the old maple tree.
