You may hang up large illumina¬

wurning the public imminent danger;
but the young fellowe would skate
right up to the hole to see for them¬
selves if it’s all it’s cracked up to
be; and then we have the trouble

Every spot of ground ought te b#
cultivated in some thing. There is a
great fear of a shortage of food
stuff*, and justly so, when we stop
to consider the regrettable exodus
from the farm. It is yet time to plant
potatoes, peas and other things and
wa ought to see that every available
pise# of ground is planted. If every
family helps to feed itself it will
make a wonderful difference and re¬
lieve a situation whicn appears al¬
most inevitable. The Adel News.

- Our agnostics suffer chiefly from
no ling agnostic. If it only, of
course, a Greek instead of a Latin
nurne for knowing nothing; and it
is typical of our time that we look
for a more learned name even for
ignorance. But in fact the modern
man who prides himself on being an
agnostic has not tha liberty and glo¬
ry of being ignorant. The agnostic
knows a great deal, or rather be¬
lieves a great deal. He believes in
the clock-work cosmos of astronomy
as devoutly as the most credulous
enthusiast ever believed in the most
complex cosmos of theology. He ac¬
cepts his cosmos as the other accepts
his creed, entirely upon authority.
And he is no more free than the
other man, if indeed so free, to
guess or to ratify his fancy. He is in
the solar system and the system is
very systematic. He is Imprisoned in
the infinite.—G. K. Chesterton.

8AYS NEW COUNTIES
SET PACE FOR OLD
Seminole "bounty will be a good
one. There are half a dozen other
places that ought to be county aites
in this state. Ft. Valley, Barneeville,
and Arlington are among them. The
new counties set, the pace in pro
grass for the mother counties and
are real aseets to the state.—Adel
News.
Editor Shytle of the Adel Nejrs
ought to know. He helped to get
one of the best little counties in the
State—Cook. And Cook County
ports—yes, Supports—one of the
best weekly newspapers in the
State.
GOVT COX AND THE LEAGUE
(The Dalton Citizen.)
• -
One'of the sentiments most hear
tily applauded at the Jackson Day
dinner in Washington last January
was voiced by Governor Cox, who
aaid, apropos of the course of the
senate .with the Versailles treaty and
League of Nations covenant:
When our boys wsnt overseas they
did not go with reservations. When
nations, largo and small, prayed for
the sealed compact of justice into
whieh the happiness of generations
to coma was to be written and pledged
when the whole world, worn and en¬
feebled by the disasters of war,
reached forth Its hand for the peace¬
ful fruits of victory, America was
made to appear as standing in the
way of this holy consummation.
By the arbitrary exercise of au
fchorily, a conspiring body of men
psnsted ia tha Sonata of tha Uaitad
States stood out as the self-appoint¬
ed spokesmen of their countrymen.
The very action which they prevented
held the affairs of nations every
where disjointed and impotent. The
civilization of the world stood gagg_-d
and bound, while their insensate
thirst for partisan advantage struck
them dumb to the woes or the dark¬
est hour man has ever known.
The ages will not iorget that
America won a war which experts
declared was lost; that the genius
and strength of our people were as¬
sembled in the manner of a modern
miracle; that a war fought for a
worldbi democracy was not ended
with a perfidy common to autocracy;
that our soldiers died so that wars
no longtr should be, and that ourpub
lic conscience remained true to the
pledge to our honored dead; that
America not only managed but fi¬
nanced the world in the moment of
extreme stress.
History will tell it all, and the
name of the man who sensed the ills
of the afflicted peoples of the earth
will be chanted by the children of
men yet unborn, while the names of
those who mads their malignant
spite a cabal against Woodrow Wil
son will have been consigned to a
place too unimportant for vote# to
recall or memory to retain.

THINGS MONEY CANNOT BUY
(By Frpnk Dorrance Hopley, In
The Dearborn Independent.)
A group of men were discussing,
over the luncheon table, the purcha¬
sing power of money. One of them,
especially, waxed eloquent upon the
subject, (t There is nothing money
will not buy. M he said positively.
One man took exception to this
statement.
Money will not buy health, M he
asserted. >.
“Wrong!” said the first. “There is
many a poor man or woman who, if
they had money to pay for proper
treatment, would quickly regain their
health. In many instances, money
will buy health. »>
Happiness,' then 99
“Wrong again. In rare instances
money will not buy happiness, but in
the majority of cases, yes. The pos¬
session of money means time for
rest, recreation, study, travel—many
things, all of which give happiness.
I’ll tell you,” leaning across the ta¬
ble earnestly, “write down, if you
can find them, four things that mon
ey wHl not really buy, and for each
one I will give you a thousand dol
lars, 99 44
The next day at luncheon the one
who was challenged handed the
other a slip of paper. After reading
it, the man without a quibble hand¬
ed his friend four one-thousand dol¬
lar bills. This is what was written
on the paper:
1. A BABY’S SMILE: A baby’s
smile can never be purchased by of
fering It money. To the soul that has
so lately come from the place of the
unborn, the means oi exchange of
this world offers no appeal. A mo¬
ther’s kiss, a father’s caress, a flow¬
er, a bright colored toy, may win a
baby’s smile, but you cannot bar¬
gain for that smile with geld.
2. YOUTH, WHEN IT HAS
GONE: "The mill will never grind
with the water that has passed. 99
The flush of youth, the luster of the
eyes of a boy in his teens, the care¬
free happiness of the maiden, when
the years have brought maturity, can
never come again. Ponce de Leon in
his quest for the spring of eternal
youth, realized that fact. He knew
that youth, once gone, could never
b« bought again. Money will not pur¬
chase tta return, even if heaped in
piles of millions, and the spring for
which the knight so diligently search
ed to insure against the ravages of
time, was never discovered.
3. THE LOVE AF A GOOD WO¬
MAN: Love, like a baby's smile, can
not be bought with gold. Many a wo¬
man has simulated love for a dowry
with a husband thrown in, and prac¬
ticed the deception successfully for
years, but true love, of the kind
which lasts eternally, cannot be pur
^ The love of woman is
a pure
held by her as the most sacred gift
which she can bestow. It is not te
be bought with gola, or silver, or
preeioue stones. It is given freely to
the msn she loves.
4. ENTRANCE INTO HEAVEN:
There is an old saying that “shrouds
have no pockets.” Money, which will
purchase nearly everything in this
world, canot be taken to the next,
and used as a means of entrance into
heaven. The keeper of the portals of
the heavenly city is not susceptible to
a bribe. Thar*. at least, money ha?
no valua.

Insects That Have Shert Life.
There are many eggs ef small Insects
that are hatching all the time. The
r*y of suashlne. falling weakly upon
the side ef a tree or upon an old log.
will hatch out many of these eggs, and
Die little creatures wobble through the
frozen alt for a few minutes before
perishing. Possibly It Is a tragedy
with then when they are brought Into
the world too sooo. At spy rate they
^ n ,n nourish; they do not mate and
propagate their hind whan hatched
mt la wfaur.
IS THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS TO BE
GOOD OR BAD?
Surely a covenant, fair-minded
and seriously intended, proposing to
replace war with peace, destruction
with construction, blood-shed with
brotherhood, is very much to be pre¬
ferred to the unbridled rivalry
whieh produced the late war. Indeed,
volumes can be written in favor of
the League of Nations. But, in spite
of all this, its success depends on one
condition, which, if lacking, may
make the League a calamity, its very
power the agency of world chaos.
Shall we trust in the League or in
God? Shall we substitute its peace
making machinery for the spirit of
the “Prince of Peace”? If this Leag¬
ue of . Nations ignores God, if it
stands simply puon tne godless stan¬
dards of godless men, it is the most
dangerous covenant devised. There is
something more fundamental to its
success than “Article X”, than Wood
row Wilson or Lloyd George, and
that is the spirit of Christ. Interna¬
tional welfare aii depends in the last
analysis upon a law announced by
Christ 2000 years ago: “Seek ye
first the kingdom of God and hi*
righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you”. God is
"the author of every good and per¬
fect gift”; and no' instrument of
man, can in any sense take his place
as the source of good.
The world’s greatest need at the
present time is not a League of Na¬
tions but the law and the spirit of
Christ. Civilization is at, the parting
of the ways: IT IS CHRIST OR
CHAOS. Standing for Christ rather
than chaos, members of the Church
of Christ in Fort Valley and vicini
ty will conduct a series of gospel
meetings in the Congregational
Church, corner of Miller and Per¬
sons Streets, beginning Sunday July
25th. The one and only purpose of
the meetings is to seen the “way of
Jehovah the unadulterated truth
of God, that it may abide in our
hearts. All who will are invited to
join us in an effort to hold up Christ
as the only saviour, as the one
pattern of daily life is the only
lution to modern problems.
