FARM BUREAU WEEK
This week has been set as
Farm Bureau Week by Gov. M.
E. Thompson, it was disclosed,
i The main topic of discussion was
! stressing a drive to get farm bur
eau members.
John Corbin, District Forester
from Calhoun, made a short talk
on “Value Os Forest Land,” urg
ing all farmers to assist in any
way they can to keep forest fires
out of timber.
Harry Powell, of Teloga, gave a
short talk on “The Value Os Our
Farm and Community Organiza
tions.”
The directors were appointed
in each community to be the
leaders in carrying on this Farm
Bureau membership drive.
As much as the Farm Bureau
has meant to the farmers in
Chattooga County every single
farmer is urged to see his direc
tor in the community and join
the Farm Bureau this week if
I possible.
Before two or three farmers
. in the county have been making
; personal contacts to get farmers
i to join the Farm Bureau.
We hope this won’t have to be
done this year because it is a
lot of work on those few farmers.
I don’t think there is any doubt
in any farmers mind concerning
the value of Farm Bureau to the
farming people. It is our organi
zation and work for the benefit
of our farmers and we hope that
each and every farmer will join
and see that his neighbor joins
the Farm Bureau this week if
l possible.

PROTECTIVE CUSTODY
1 “You wish to see me, sir?”
’ “Yes, Roger. Sit down please.
I understand that you are in a
■ bit of a jam. I wonder if you
I could tell me the whole story?”
The speaker was a tall, middle-
■ aged man. Dressed in tan slacks
‘ and sport shirt, he observed the
• boy before him keenly.
The boy, poorly dressed but
clean, sat forward on his chair.
With elbows on knees and chin
; in hands, he stared at a spot
of sunlight that shone through
the window and reflected from
the top of the desk at the man’s
side. When the boy spoke, he
raised his eyes to meet the gaze
of the man before him. “Yes, sir.
I stole a horse, and I’m to go to a
reform school.”
The man raised his hand im
patiently, “I understand that.
But you are not stupid, Roger,
and I believe that you knew you
couldn’t hide a horse—especially
a five thousand dollar Arabian—
for very long. I know the story as
it’s on record. But I want to knew
the reason, Roger. Did you do it
just to get away from the Or
phanage, or did someone tell you
to steal the horse? Would you
have taken just any horse, or did ■
you take Princess Toya because
she was worth a great deal of
money?”
“I knew the Princess was worth I,
a lot of money, sir, but that | J
wasn’t why I took her. I’ve work- ; ■
ed at the stables whenever 1! :
could leave the orphanage for!'
two years. The Princess was foal- i'
ed the same day I came to the ,
home, and Mike, the man who !
was in charge of the stables, used : '
to let me take care of her. I !'
she seemed like mine, sir.”
“I see,” said the man. “Tell me,
Roger, just what did you intend
to do with Princess Toya?”
“Well, sir, I heard that she
had been sold, and Mike wasn’t
at the stables and I didn’t have'
time to go see Mr. Arnold, be- I
cause they were going to take the I
Princess the next morning. I
couldn’t think how to stop them,
so when I took her out for ex
ercise that night, I just took her!
away.” 1
“You mentioned Mr. Arnold,
Roger. Why did you wish to see
him?”
“Oh!” said Roger eagerly, “if
I could have seen him. I think
everything would have been all
right. Mike says he’s a swell guy.
Mike says Mr. Arnold likes his
Arabs as much as I do. He just
■ couldn’t have known the kid who
was getting the Princess, or he
wouldn’t have sold her.”
. “Hm,” murmured the man,
watching the smoke curl up from
his pipe. “Why do you think he
wouldn’t have wanted this parti
cular ‘kid’ to have her? Did you
know the boy who bought her?”
“Yes, sir,” said Roger. “He’s a
big kid, about fifteen, and heavy.
He put a big saddle on the
Princess, and was going to ride
her. She’s very gently, sir, but
she’s nevous. When he started
to swing on, she shied, and he
kicked her. I—l hit him, sir, and
the Princess got away. He beat
me up, but not bad, and he said
he’d ‘beat some sense into her’
when he got her home. I really
didn’t intend to steal her for
keeps, sir, but just ’till I could
think what to do. And then when
I thought what to do, they
caught me before I could do it.”
The man smiled. “How old are
you, Roger?”
“I’m nine, sir, buti I only weigh
sixty-eight pounds, so Mike says
it was all right for me to ride
the Princess if I didn’t use a
saddle.”
“What had you decided to do
with the Princess, if you hadn’t
, been caught?”
“I’d rather not tell you, sir.

No one told me to do anything,
but people might think”— the
boy paused, apprehension on his
face for the first time. Removing
the pipe from his mouth the man
spoke gently, “You don’t under
• stand, Roger. Your trial is over.
1 I am asking these questions for
J my own information, and I give
you my word that I will not re
peat a word without your per
-5 mission. I shan’t insist that you
1 tell me anything, but if you feel
that you can trust me, and don’t
; mind telling, I should like to
. know.”
1 “I’d like to tell you, sir. One
time Mike let me ride one of the
horses over to his place to spend
1 Sunday with him. It’s ten miles,
1 but I thought I could remember
' the way, and I though if I could
find Mike and tell him about the
Princess, he’d ask Mr, Arnold
not to sell her. But it was dark,
and I got kind of lost, and when
they found us and thought I
meant to steal the Princess, I was
afraid they’d think Mike wanted
to steal her if I told where I was
going.” The little boy leaned
tensely forward, gripping the
sides of his chair. “And now, sir,”
he said, “if you know, will you
please tell me what became of
the Princess?”
The man looked surprised, and
spoke softly, “I’m sorry, Roger,
I thought you knew. Your friend
Mike was notified and returned
the Princess to the stables. All
of the papers hadn’t been signed,
and Mike wouldn’t release her
until Mr. Arnold returned. Then
he persuaded Mr. Arnold to keep
her.” Smiling, the man tapped
ashes from his pipe into an ash
tray and rose to his feet. “And
now, Roger, I want to make you
a proposition. I need a young
man to help me. He must be loyal
I courageous and small for this
(job. It’s hard work, and I’d ex
pect him to make good grades in
school right along with his home
work. Would you take the job?”
“You mean—?” Roger stopped,
looked down, then met the man’s
eyes and began to smile un
certainly. “You mean I won’t
have to go—. Could I live—.”
The man laid his hand on
Roger’s shoulder, “I’m away a
great deal on business. My wife
land I like small boys, but we
have no children. She’d like you
to ride with her. And Mike needs
a small lad that’s good with
horses. He said we couldn’t af
ford to sell the Princess at all,
if we could get you to train her.
I’m Mr. Arnold—Uncle Matt to
you, Roger—and I believe they
I should have the papers all ready
for us, if you will come and live
with us.”
For answer, Roger stumbled
to his feet and flung his arms
> around the man’s waist.
| “Mike said you were a swell
■ guy,” he choked.

Springs Bleachery at Chicka-
; mauga, Ga.
; They had had dinner with Mr.
' and Mrs. Jewell, and during the
' course of the meal the conversa- *
I tion drifted to the weather, for
' it was cold and rainy. Mr. Jewell
! looked across the table at Mr.
! Breyer, then almost as if speak
ing to him only, he said, “I never
1 worry about something that I
can’t do anything about.”
j Then, all of a sudden, there at
! the country club, Mr. Brewyer
.' dismissed from his mind all
!' thought of the weather and the
i, trucks. He relaxed, laughed and
joked. After he got home, he kept
his mind on pleasant things. As
. a result, he slept soundly all
. night and awoke refreshed the
•! next morning. Not one of those
i trucks that went out had any
thing go wrong!
Since then, Mr. Breyer says he
has been able to eliminate, if
not entirely, at least to a great .
extent, the worry occasioned by
something he could do nothing
about. When he can do some
thing about it, he gets at it, and
forgets to worry.
