THINK-FOR-OTHERS AND THE MAGIC EYES.

PART II.
U Mother.” cried Think-for-Others
in great excitement, “I’m going to
plant potatoes.” And she did. One
beautiful thing about Think-for
Others was that the minute she
thought of a good thing .to do, she
went and did it. She never postponed.
.. If you want me to,” said the Gar
den Lady, “I’ll tell you exactly how
she did it. The Garden Book you
know told her how to do it.
“Think-for-Others laid her nice,
smooth medium and large potatoes
out in the attic where the bright
light shone in nearly all day. She
kept them there for two weeks. By
and by funny little sprouts began to
pop out of the eyes. Then she cut
them in pieces as the Garden Book
said. She put two eyes to a piece.
‘Eyes ought to be twins,’ she thought.
“She prepared her trenches care¬
fully, just 18 inches apart, and filled
in the little trenches with soil, and
pressed it down quite firmly, She
thought she could hear little whitey
green, sprouty, voiceless voices
chanting under the ground:
“‘We see! We see!
Better times to be!’
“In due time the iovely potato
plants came eagerly 'over the top.’
Then Think-for-Others worked up
the soil around the young plants to
hold them up. Oh! It was great fun!
“Then, Think-for-Others began to
cultivate them. She broke up the
crusted earth carefully with weeder
and hoe. Six or seven times during
the season she did this. She did it
very carefully. She never hoed more
than an inch or two deep. She was

ground was still too wet; for that
made the earth pack. She never al¬
lowed and weeds to get a foothold;
for they are just some of old Fa¬
mine’s ugly thoughts that fly over
the earth and take root. When the
weather was dry, she watered her
garden with a garden hose. Some
tiues she made little trenches be¬
tween the garden rows and let tjhe
water circulate in them. She sprayed
the plants just as the Garden Book
said, and thus kept all insects away.
“By and by, she had the results of
her labor for the home table, and a

“What has all this to do with the
horrid Ogre Famine? Why, you see,”
said the Garden Lady,, “Think-for
Others told lots of people about it,
and everywhere the work*spread, and
boys and girls got to thinking and
working at the same kind of work.
Then old Famine heard about it, and
he began to be frightened and to
pine away. For food was seing sent
to the pale children in those unhap¬

themselves. Finally, old Famine grew
so weak he fell asleep and men came
and cleared away the poisonous for¬

John N. Holder, Speaker of the House of Representatives
and Candidate for Governor,
a
farmer and business man. He is
well qualified to give the State a
REAL business administration.
3.—John Holder has had nine¬
teen years' experience in handling
every phase of Georgia’s legislative
affairs Through this experience
he has gained the widest possible
knowledge of Georgia’s conditions
and needs.
5.—John Holder’s executive abil¬
ity haa been put to the test in his
eight years' service as speaker of
the House of Representatives. He
has proven himself: There has
never been an appeal from one of
his decisions.
7.—John Holder *is FAIR. He
is eminently fair always, alike to
friend or foe^-Xhere is not one of
j his enemies who will deny his
fairness in any transaction of his
life. His record as speaker fully
demonstrates this fact.
9.—John Holder is a construc¬
tive servant of the state. He has
shown this in his every effort.
Without blare of trumpets he has
gone ahead building up Georgia’s
schools, institutions and highways,
and working day and night for the
solution of her financial problems.
11.—John Holder is a loyal, all
wool and a yard wide Democrat.
He has been a ioyal Democrat all
his life. He is standing “four¬
square” by the party in the big
fight which confronts it this year.
13.—John Holder, during the 19
years he has been a member of the
General Assembly, has served the
State practically without compen¬
sation. The per diem paid to mem¬
bers is not sufficient to meet the
expenses of their stay in Atlanta.
Vote for John Holder for Governor on September & Your
vote will be appreciated.

has h'ad anything like this state
legislative experience. Therefor*,
neither of them possesses the same
intimate knowledge of Georgia af¬
fairs and conditions.

6.—Neither of his opponents ha*
had this actual executive experi¬
ence. Neither of them has ren¬
dered any executive service.
Neither of them has shown ability
in bringing about concord between,
and in satisfying, disputants.
8.—The same cannot be said of
at least, one of his opponents, who
is basing his campaign almost
wholly upon bitter attacks upon
well-known Georgians who do not
happen to agree with him. Fair¬
ness can never come from vituper¬
ation.
10.— One of his opponents has a
long record of critical destructive
ness — of opposing and tearing
down, where others have tried to
build. The record of the other is
negative: while he may not have
attempted t*> destroy, there is noth¬
ing which he has built.
12.— It is well known that one of
' his opponents has repudiated the
Democratic administration, and
even now criticises its platform
adopted at San Francisco. He is
running as a Democrat, and yet op¬
poses the Democratic platform.
14.— During practically all of
these years both of his opponents
have held lucrative offices, one of
them for 16 years and the othor
for 20. In these offices they have
earned a competent living, while
Mr. Holder has been put to actual
personal expense in the service
he has rendered to the State.
