VOL. XVI, No. 7.1
The Habit of Working Men
A professor of Columbia l Diver¬
sity has just completed a test of
character of iooo working men of
different sections of the United
States and his report reveals some
interesting tendencies of the aver¬
age laborer.
Prominent among his discoveries
was tiie revelation that nine men in
every ten laborers occupy a large
amount of their spare time in read¬
ing the newspapers, and that this
number of them are subscribers to
their local publications.
Next to the time spent with his
family, the American laborer
divides his spare moments in visit
ing friends and in reading news
papers.
Of the thousand men investigat
ed. 28 nationalities and 164 oecupa
tions were represented, and
them belonged to trade
There were 580 church members,
while 420 did not profess reltgon.
Six men in every ten arc regular
patrons of the picture shows and
only three in ten Wt intoxicants
in any form
Taking the one thousand inui
investigated as a fair example
tlie average laborer, the American
workman reveals the strongest
social Spirit of that of any emlr/.ed
nation on tlie globe.
The Creed of The Country
Rural life is coining into its own
and country life is beginning to be
appreciated again after -r.vcrai
decades of disfavor and neglect.
The following caei, which is be¬
ing adopted as the slogan of var¬
ious boy's’ and girls chibs through¬
out the rural secftofeTtf Theft, nited
Slates, shows that the thought life
of the country is being directed in¬
to its.natural channels:
“I believe that the country
which God made is more beautiiul
than the city which man iiiadeithut
life out of doors and in touch with
the earth is the natural life of man.
I believe that work is work wbere
ever I find it, but that work with
nature is more inspiring than-work
with the most intricate machinery.
I believe that the dignity of labor
depends not only upon what you
do it; that opportunity comes to a
boy in the city, and that life is
larger and freer and happier on
farm than in the town.”
Georgia Will Hot Send Europe Wheat
The United States has approxi¬
mately 300,000,000 bushels of
wheat on hand this year for export
and practically all of it will pro
bably be sold to the warring coun¬
tries of Europe. According to
report issued today by the United
States Department of Agriculture
the wheat production of the United
States this year will be around
892,000,000 bushels and only 601,
000,000 bushels
will be needed for food con
sumption and seed purposes at
home.
Tiie per capita wheat consump¬
tion of Georgia for food is 4,0
bushels, and. the total annual re¬
quirement for seed and food pur
poeses in this state is 11,280,1x10
bushels, leaving a deficiency of
of production this year of
iinately 9,600,000 bushels.

CLEVELAND, GLOW I A. DEC. L 1914.
Georgia Seeds NortHwesta FarfliaE !
Believing that America produ
as good farmers as anv country ftSri
the globe, and that could the far¬
mers of the great North-Western
part of the United States know of
the great wealth that lies in the
soil of Georgia and the finest cli¬
mate on the face of the earth, thfv
would flock here and buy farms. I
There lias never been a systci
tic campaign of advertising of
farms in the North-West, and ins
intended to at once place such m\
v.ertisments and literature in the
hands of the most prominent pim¬
ple in that of the country, with a
view of getting in touch with the
very best farmers and trying to In¬
duce then: to come to the grejat
South. The fanners of the North
West have been going to Canada
by the Thousands, and not finding
1 heir lot any better than at homo,
thev are returning as fast as possi¬
ble. Now we intend to show them
that they should have come South.
They have only about four months
of farming in their country, the
rest of the year being a long drawn
out Winter. “Living is high in
the North-West and it takes more
to carry on the expenses of a farm
there than down South”, sail
Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker dl
House of Representatives of tlifr
United States at the Georgia Pro¬
ducts Dinner, Nov. iStli nt'Macon.
What is intended to he done is
to show them the advantage of
settling in Georgia and give them
the low cost of living, arid the
many diversified crops that they
can raise in the South. They will
have post cards and other printed
matter sent them in abundance.;
If you have a farm, and desire u^-
put these farmers in touch with it.
and thus, help to get. into the South
good American Fanners, who after
all are the best class of citizens
that we could possibly secure, then
write a letter to E. II. Ilyman,
Macon, Gti., and he will give you
ill the particulars. We must have
good fanners ior our neighbors,
and they should be Americans.
