It doesn’t seem like the farm
ers are beating the boll weevil
as fast as they intended to. All
during the winter months came
the advise to plant early, culti
vate fast, and lay-by early, and
, thus make a crop before the
weevil did much damage. Ma
'ny were intending to do this,
but the appointments of man
doesn’t always go hand in hand
[ with those of God.
Many are predicting that
there will not be any cotton
raised this year. Some go so
far as to say that there will not
be anything made. This is idle
speculation as there is no foun

I had best leave this subject to
Red Bird, who can deal with it
in a better manner than I.

,A few years ago we read in
the North Georgian, the fellow

man used to carry a jug of whis
key along the road, in broad
day light, unarmed and was not
molested. Now, it could be that
his son was hauling whiskey,
concealed in his car, being him
self well armed and his life en
dangered. Which was the bet

Keep in your soul some still untroubled space
Weft of the things of loveliness and grace,
Where when a harried world distraught with fire,
Presses too hard on you you may retire
As to a ferny spot in some deep wood.
Far from life’s turmoil and in quietude,
Where woe comes not, and peace her dwellings hath
Unvexed by man’s unceasing urge to wrath.
(Copywright 1921 by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
The one lesson which it is necessary for humans to learn
if the)' would be happy is the inability of material things to
satisfy. We strive vainly for years for some possession or
pleasure which we think will make our happiness and con
tentment perfect and when we at last achieve it, we find it is
only ashes in our mouth. The only good we receive from
it is the determination we may gain in striving for it.
Happiness is really gained through things which seem to
our ma f erial eye intangible but which, after all, are the real
things in life, Analyze the pleasure we gain. A young girl
is eager for anew dress. She thinks if she could but possess
a certain dress she would be completelp happy. Perhaps
fortune grants this favor and the dress is hers. Perhaps she
is happy, but it is not the dress which makes her so, if she
is a natural-born fun loving girl. It is the pleasure her pos
session gives to others. The mere possession of the dress
means nothing to her. It is the intangible that really counts
Take the case of a man who brings his wife a piece of lov
able jewelry. Is it the possession that pleases her? That is
the tangible thing, the thing which we can see and feel. It
is the thought which prompted the gift which brings the
happy flush to her cheek and tears of happiness into her eyes
So, after all, material pleasures are not the real things i
They are not the things that count. Happiness comes thro’
intangible things—love, unselfisnness forgiveness, thought
fulness. And the best part about it is that the intangible
things are things we cannot possess in any degree. That
degree all depends on ourselves.
Our brains were not intended to be merely store houses
for facts, but to be sieves through which a great deal passes
and only the things which the individunj considers worth
while is retained.
The schooi that insists upon its students learning a great
quantity of data is working on the wrong piinciple. Facts
are worth nothing to us if we cannot learn how to assimi
late them and properly use them.
The child who is early taught to reason rather than re
member, has a good start in life. As problems arise he will
be able to work them out himself. And the facts that he
learns through his own ability to reason will he retained in
his every day working kit.
It is not nearly so important to know the dates, battles,
leaders, etc., of the French revolution as it is to be able to
reason out the causes and results and to see the universal
application of these principles. Knowledge of a fact is only
useful when it can be applied to present conditions. So when
the children bring home a low mark in history there is not
always a reason to despair. Find out whether those low
marks were the result of their failure to remember dates. It
so, and if their paper showed their ability to reason things
out for themselves, take heart. You have a bright child —
one who is able to know better than the present educational
system, the things tnat will be necessary for him to learn, in
order to help him in later life.?
One failure or five won’t hurt you just so you profit by
each and make good in the end.
An average man never feels so small as when people tell
him he is great.
