NEWS AT A GLANCE ABOUT STATE AFFAIRS (By Gilreath Press Syndicate.) ATLANTA, Sept. 13 (GPS).—Now that they have started another bloody war in Europe, America’s only real ob jective is to KEEP OUT OF IT. Oar fight is to keep out of war. President Roosevelt has said his administration will make every effort to keep us out. He added: “As long as it remains in my power to prevent, there will be no black out of peace in the United States.” The Atlanta Georgian, in a recent front-page editorial signed by William Randolph Hearst, said, “We can keep out of war if we want to.” The editorial further said in part: “Europe could keep out of war if it wanted to. There is no situation in Europe which could not have been solved by the peaceful discussion which the president urged . . . But war is in no sense inevitable here.” The editorial concluded with this state ment : “America has a great opportunity, a great mission, which it can only fulfill if it keeps out of war, and if it keeps its resources, its institutions, its demo cratic principles intact, and fully avail able for its own benefit, and for the re construction of the world.” The Georgian, at another time, called attention to the fact that U. S. Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia, is a mem ber of the senate foreign relations com mittee, one of the most important and most powerful committees of congress. Pending before that committee are reso lutions which would quickly drag us into any foregin war. They are the Pittman resolution and the amended Sol Bloom bill. Says the Georgian : “If you want peace—if you want America to keep out of foreign wars — iWS JASTE | H One taste of rich, flavorful BLUE ■*- RIDGE Coffee, and you’ll agree ffl M with thousands of others that H BLUE RIOBE is “Tops in Taste.” g| Coupons, redeemable ? ■lsSa So for valuable premi- I® .jj? urns, in every package. » ' **- —-T I ,PU»E»BSEJ. y-y BLUE RIDGE COFFEE I COME ON—LET’S GO TO THE I CHATTANOOGA INTER' I STATE FAIR Fun and frolic for everyone.

DO IT NOW I” HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED. “The only important fact about which there can possibly be any difference of opinion is the extent to which highway carriers are subsidized.” declares the Railway Age, “This can only be resolved by a thorough study of highway costs; and this is what the railroads have asked. There certainly can be no differ ence of opinion as to whether water car riers are heavily subsidized, because wa terways cost money and waterway users do not pay a red cent for their use.” GIST OF THE NEWS Georgia led the nation in the volume of sales of independent retail hardware stores during July as compared with the same month a year ago.

Twenty-Third Psalm The following is reprinted from the Monticello News: King alcohol is my shepherd ; I shall al ways want. He maketh me to lie down in the gutters. He leadeth me beside troubled waters. He destroyed my sould. He leadeth me into the paths of wicked ness for effects sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of poverty and have delirium tremens, I -will cling to drink. For thou art with me, thy bite and thy sting they torment me. Thou preparest an empty table before me in the presence of my family. Thou annointest my head with hellish ness. My cup of wrath runeth over. Surely destruction and misery shall fol low me all the days of my ife, and I shall dwell in the house of the damned forever. —Selected.

HARVESTING METHODS Many farmers in Georgia have recently obtained better understanding of proper methods for harvesting and curing les pedeza sericea and kudzu hay through soil conservation service. Points stressed in harvesting lespedeza sericea were the importance of cutting for hay when the plants average 12 to 15 inches in height and the best methods for curing the hay in order to retain the leaves. It was also pointed out at the demonstrations that the legume should not be harvested for hay before the second season. MESSAGE FROM WALLACE. Secretary Henry A. Wallace, in urging American farmers to proceed with their poduction plans as if the outbeak in Eu rope had not occurred, recently declared : “American agriculture is in a much bet ter position to meet the shock of war than it was ’25 years ago. As we have kept pointing out, the very machinery which farmers have used to adjust pro duction to decreased demand in peace time can be used in wartime to increase production if and when that becomes ad visable.” PLANTING WINTER LEGUMES Farmers of Georgia are going ahead with their plans to seed a large acreage of cover crops, despite the fact that they will not be able to secure winter legume seed as grants-of-aid under the Tirple- A program. Why? Simply because they realize the value of Austrian winter peas, vetch and crimson clover as soil building and forage crops. FIRST STEEL PLOW A steel plow forged by an American concern in 1837 has been acquired by the Smithsonian institution in Washington. The plow was forged in Illinois. pLOSE-GROWING VEGETATION One of the most outstanding develop ments on 18,000 farms in erosion-con trol demonstration areas of the soil con servation service in the southeast has been the use of close-growing vegetation (for erosion control, R. Y. Bailey, chief of the regional agronomy division, tells us. As a part of the erosion-control pro gam on these farms, more than a half million acres has been planted to eros ion-resisting crops and more than a mil lion acres to semi-erosion-resisiting veg etation. Need more hogs Those who have studied the swine sit ation in Georgia declare that this state can profitably produce as much as 3,000.- 000 hogs every year. The last census gave he hog production of the state at 1,500,- >O6. GOOD TIDINGS By THOMAS D. LYNN. Living a Christian Life. Text: Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life and few’ there be that find it (Matt. 7 :14). As Jesus went through the cities and villages, teaching, one said unto him, “Lord, are there few that be saved?” And he said unto them, “Strive to enter in at the straight gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” When once the Master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know not whence ye are: “Then shall ye begin to say, “We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.” But he shall say, “I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.” (Luke 13:24-27). I have thought many times about the straightforwardness of a Christian life. One may believe he can live any way, o anything he pleases, go any place he desires, and still be a Christian. But that doesn’t change the word of God. A man cannot live for God today, and the devil tomorrow and be a Christian. Jesus said, “No man can serve two mas ters. for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.” There are only two classes of the hu man family, the good and the bad; right eous and wicked, sinners and Christians —YOU are either a child of God or a child of the devil. Either make the tree good and his fruit good, or else make the tree corrupt; and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things: And an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. (Matt. 12:33-35). I have given enough scripture to show the difference between a genuine Chris tian and a hypocrite. We must live each minutes just as if it were the last one. If we live in such away we can go to bed at night and feel assured that if we were called away by death before morning, we would have life eternal. Otherwise, we shal hear him say, “Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.” NOTICE. A singing class has been organized at the Spring Creek Baptist church. We will sing each third Sunday afternoon. So if you are a lover of good singing, come and be with us next Sunday after noon, Sept. 17. We need Au and we also expect to have some good singers with us.
