One little girl who wrote to us this
week expressed the wish “that the
Wise Old Owl would tell us a good
story if he is not too sleepy.” Wise
Owl says that he can always wake up
long enough to tell a story for our
boys and girls. But this time he is
going to let one of our club members
tell a story for you.
Nelda Waltz, of Gaylesville, Ala.,
has this to say about the fairy story
which she sent us: “When I was just
a baby I was out in the flowers all
the time I could slip away from
mamma. The little bees would often
sting me and that is partly where I
got my story. The rest was a poem
I read in school when I was small.”
How Roses Got Thorns.
At first roses had no thorns. This
is how they came to have thorns: A
little Brownie loved the roses and
played among them every night.
Sometimes he liked to nlay soldier
and march around with a rosebud on
his head for a helmet. When morning
came he always curled himself up to
sleep in the heart of a big open rose.
One night this little Brownie rode
about on the neck of a big lion. He
threw rosebuds at the fairies as they
danced under the trees. After a while
he grew tired and went to sleep in a
rose.
Before long his mother missed him.
She looked everywhere but could not
find him.
“My little Brownie is lost,” cried
the Brownie mother.
Then the fairies stopped their
dancing and helped to look for the
little Brownie. They looked in the
trees but he was not there. They ask
ed the fireflies but they had not
seen him.
At last among the roses the Brown
ie mother found her little Brownie
Crying, “Oh! Oh! I am hurt! See my ,
finger. I laid down to sleep in a big
rose and a little bee stung me. Oh!
Oh! How it hurts!"
Then the Brownie mother who was
the wisest Brownie took the bee’s
sharp stings and placed them along

About People And

Large Export and Import Business
Conducted Through State Ports.
Says W. H. Schroder.
ATLANTA, May 17 (GPS) —Most
Georgians who do not live on the sea- -
coast are unaware of the large export
and import business conducted thru ■
state ports. Through a new checking;
service arranged ‘by W. H. Schrod
er, district manager of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, fig
ures on exports and imports every
month of the year are being made
available for business men. Reports
are being filed in the Atlanta office,
325 New Post Office building, and
will be available there only. The first
report, covering the month of Jan
uary, shows the total value of ex
ports as $1,016,536. Imports for the
same period amounted to $1,704,381.
imports, Mr, Schroder said, were
twice those of the same month in
1936, while there was a slight de
crease in the exports. Among exports
were naval stores, textile fibers and
manufactures, raw cotton, linters,
wood, paper, metals, machinery and
vehicles, vegetables and beverages
Leading imports were chemicals and
chemical products.
Truck Toll: A protest against any
change that would add to the hazards
of truck operation on the highways
is urged by the Texas Tax Journal
in a recent editorial. “The press dis

toll taken of human life upon the
highways, and the alarming number
of these accidents in which trucks are
involved. Notwithstanding all argu
ments to the contrary, it is increas
ingly evident that large, heavily la
den trucks, operated at dangerous
speeds upon our highways constitute
a menace. ... an unbiased observer
will wonder when the regulatory
measures we now have will be en
forced and when further safety reg- j
ulations and restrictions will be im- ■
posed.”

Haden Urges Bigger
Production of Cotton
To Enrich the South
Wider Use of By-Products Also Seen
As Means of Helping Southern
Farmers and Housewives.
(By Georgia News Service.)
DALLAS, Tex. (Special)—Growth
of more cotton and wider use of cot
tonseed meal and other by-products
were urged as a means of bringing
direct and far-reaching benefits to
people of the South.
Speaking before the National Cot
tonseed Products association, Chas.
J. Haden, of Atlanta, widely known
as an authority on farming and eco
nomics, declared:
“If we in America would respect the
sound principles of common sense and
the golden rule of commerce, we
could market year by year double the
quantity of cotton we normally pro
duce, and do this at a profit.”
“The solemn call of the hour,” he
said, “is not to plow up cotton, nor
yet to restrict its production. Cotton
and its seed have been and always
will be our basic master resource.”
He declared that for every twenty
acres of cotton land made idle by the
government’s renting plan, one plow
hand was made idle. The South once
grew 80 per cent, of the world’s cot
ton, he said, but now grows only 38
per cent.
Particularly emphatic was Mr. Ha
den in his denunciation of federal sta
tutes which, he declared, “now pen
alize cottonseed products with as
much cruelty as the laws of Bourbon
France before the French revolution,
oppressed the peasant.”
He illustrated this by asserting that
margarine “makes a bread spread
equal to the best butter churned,” but
“before it reaches the table it must
pay a federal tax of 10 cents a pound,
and the wholesaler who deals in it
must pay a yearly license of S4BO, and
the retailer a license of $50,” all
borne in the end by the consumer.
Propaganda was blamed for exist
ing conditions, Mr. Haden declaring
that “it seems unbelievable that our
trusting, confiding people have suf
fered so long with so little protest
about lying publicity.”
“Cotton seed contains foods and
feeds enough to supply al! the cattle
the South needs with an excess of
meats and milk to ship away,” he
continued.
' Hog? prefer the warm climate.
They reproduce nearly twice as fast
in the South as in lowa, because of
the longer summer season. For them,
peanuts furnish a cafeteria service.
It is impossible for corn-fed hogs to
compete.
“The oppression of federal taxes
and high freight rates and other op
pressive factors against the South
will bring about agricultural revolu
tion.
“If that phrase ever applied to a
monarch, it may be truly said—‘Cot
ton is king by divine right.’ You and
I have been reared so close to the
picture we hardly realize its magni
tude. Only when we wake up will the
South become what it should be.”
Presbyterian.
Sunday, May 23:
On account of the commencement
sermon which will be preached at the
high school auditorium by the Rev.
E. D. Viser, of Cleveland, Tenn., there
will be no preaching services at the
Presbyterian church. Sunday school,
however, will be held as usual, begin
ning at 9:45 a.m. It is hoped you will
attend as is your regular custom; you
will be dismissed in time to get to
the auditorium for the sermon.
In order for you to keep up with
your church pledge, and to make the
work of the church treasurer less
difficult, you are asked to bring your
regular church offering with you next
Sunday to Sunday school. The offer
ing for the support of the church bud
get will be taken at the close of Sun
day school.
