lIER SECRET^
We occasionally meet a w r man whose age is as beautiful
as the bloom of youth. We wonder how it lias come about
—what her secret is.
Here are a few of the reasons :
She knows how to forget disagreeable things.
She kept her nerves well in hand and indicted them on no
one.
She mastered the art of saying pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from her friends.
She.made whatever work come to her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did not believe all the world
wic <ed and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and sympathized with the sor
rowful.
She never forgot that kind words and a smile cost noth-
ing, but are priceless treasures to the discouraged.
She did imto others as she would be done by.
She never missed an opportunity to tell her friends and
neighbors to subscribe for this paper and impress them that
the Home Circle Department alone is worth many times the
subscription price.
Health is the source of beauty, and every rule for beauty
is simply a rule for health. A girl cannot have a firm, elas
tic body, a clear skin, a tine color and bright eyes unless she
exercises, sleeps and eats profusely and sufficiently. All these
outward charms appeal to the eye, but how much deeper and
more lasting is the impression when there is beauty of char
acter as well. It is not strange how persons who seem plain
and unattractive to the casual eye, seen often, become abso
lutely beautiful to us in their revelation of characterr And
how some w iom we consider beautiful at first, when better
known, see n only ugly and unattractive, because of some
defect of ch iracter. Character will out. We may try to hide
cur defects, but it is useless. We may deceive for a time,
but ere long we are known and valued for what we really
are in spite of all our efforts and pretense.
We always class children, birds and flowers together. And
why? Because they should be equally beautiful, innocent and
happy. We should never rob childhood of Its ideal loveli
ness. Even old people should be gay, and happy and good ;
too good to overcloud the children’s horizon with angry eyes
and lowering brows, nor turn their merriment to discord bv
continual fault-finding. Allow them all the freedom consis
tent with absolute safety. Let them play and be happy, but
teach them self control. God’s estimate of self-control is
this: is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and
he that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a
city.”

The world grows old, and the stars will cease to illuminate
it, and the waters to illuminate it, and the mountains to guard
itjand its long story of sin and shame and glory and triumph
will soon turn to ashes; but influences which started in the
earl}' home roll on and roll up through all eternity blooming
in all the joy, waving in all the triumph, or shrinking back
into all the darkness. Father, mother, which way are you
leading your children?
Boys are not naturally selfish, and every mother who has j
not a willing, efficient helper in her boy, is herself to blame, I
and must not only suffer the consequences of her mistake her
self, but the future wife will have them to bear also. For your
own sakes, mothers, and for the future wives of your boys, ]
spare no pains to impress upon them the magnitude of wo
man’s work. After they have been accustomed to helping
in all the ways they can about the house, (and there arc few
things they will not be the better for having learned to do)
they will not think housekeeping “jusf puttering around.”

MOVE THE CORN BELT TO GEORGIA
Ultimate Outcome of the Operation of the State Food Cour,-
cii and the State Market Bureau will be Entire
Reorganization of Agricultural
Endeavor in Georgia
Atlanta, Oh. —“In Hip course- of Uio next one or two years general udop
tion of the plan we are now working out, and co-operation liv community
interests, will almost certainly mean that Gcorgisi is going to be exporting
millions of dollars worth of food stalls, which, in past years, we have been
importing. Already there is a tendency in that direction, which means we
are ultimately go in a to ‘move Hie eorn belt In Georgia,’ and just how soon
that move will be actually made depends now only on how general the com
munity interest becomes and how much Interest each community manifests
iri itself.” So says Lorn It, Jackson, director of llie Market Bureau of tln
state Department of Agriculture, and secretary of I lie State Food Connell.
When Commissioner .1. .1. Brown engaged Director Jackson to organize
and get in working order the new branch of the agricultural department, tirst
attention turned to evolving some method which would he practical in its
operation by which the several counties in Georgia could he brought actively
into the work*in a way that would ‘he beneficial to the local communities,
and, through the state bureau, the products of all the counties would liiul the
channels leading directly to the dealers of greatest demand for each of the
varied products.
The European war conditions brought forth the demand for a state coun
cil on production and conservation of food and feed stuffs, and out of that
came the call upon the Georgia farmer for a greater activity in his tields, and
a larger responsibility than had ever before confronted him. The state and
federal governments co-ordinated that work with the duties already rest
ing on the agricultural department and through this co-ordination and the
ceaseless activities of the Market Bureau, Georgia today lias more acres in
growing crops to meet the food sup'ply demands which are coming than slie
ever has had. Corn, velvet beans, soy beans, potatoes and peanuts have
been planted in the state as they never were before. Chased ground lias
been turned into market gardens and the home-grown meat supply of the
year will reduce the imported quantity this fall and winter very considerably.
The handling of these products at and after harvest time presented
the second problem, and yet the most important, to the Market Bureau and
tlie State Food Council, and it is in the direction of solving that problem and
being prepared to meet the market demand that the Market Bureau brunch of
the Department of Agriculture is now working, with a very high degree of
success in tlie territory thus far covered. This work is two fold in the plan
being carried out by Director Jackson and his Held asssistants. One. the
community handling and collection of produce from all the farmers; the
other, creation of a home market among the dealers which will have demand
for and thereby absorb the saleable surplus products of the farms when they
are ready for the market.
In the operation of this plan every business house, banker and commer
cial enterprise in every county in Georgia is being ottered—and very largely
they are accepting an opportunity io throw himself and some of his re
sources into local community development and protection of home farms
and farmers against loss.
As adjuncts to the State Food Council, local councils arc being formed
in every county In j! •• state, subject to service throughout the period ot Un
war. These work Iff conjunction with and thiough tlie state council, tin
central or state organization being in the nature of tlie hub mid the county
councils the spokes of a great business wheel, the rim of which is the outside
expanse of tlie state of Georgia. “We expect from llh-se county or com
munity organizations," says Mr. Jackson, “whole-hearted co-operation in
perfecting organization of county agricultural clearing houses where the farm
products of that county may be taken, and to which the state Bureau may
direct the demands of tlie larger market centers of tlie country for supplying
(lie country’s demands. Primarily these councils, (he stale council ns well
are designed as a measure to meet war conditions. Necessarily they will,
though, in successful operation during the period of war, become of such vast
importance to the farmers and tlie business enterprises of the state that l),<-v
will, much of their own weight, live on after Hie war inis ended. Just at this
time, in the working out of the general plan, what the farmer needs most is
niore help and less advice—help by the organization of local inarkct bureaus
or warehouse companies where he is sure of being able lo place I,ls produce
when it lias lieeen grown and prepared for market ”
In the past few weeks some 12 or 1-1 of these county market bureaus
have beeen organized, financed by local men of business, professions I and
agricultural calling, and are getting themselves in shape to handle the farm
stub when it Is offered to them in whatever quantity. Field agents „f the
State Market Bureau are still actively at work in the counties furthering tlies,
