GEORGIA NEEDS THE SECOND
PRIMARY LAW.
The election or the nomination of a
V. 8. senator goes out of the hands of
the people after all. The contest waged
before the people will he declin'd by
the politicians in tho state convention.
It's entirely possible that a dark horse
may win. It has been suggested that
Joe Brown may even yet win to the
senate, for the short term, though
he ran for the long term and waa de
claevly defeated.
The Idea of the primary la for the
people to choose their nominees and
Officials. This purpose Is defeated
when the matter Is finally referred to
the atate convention. There should he
a second primary In Georgia The
people rather than the politicians
should finally decide this matter.
The amount of wire pulling and po
litical trading that will occur In the
atate convention may result In some
tremendous auprises before It ta over.

were some tents end we alt got out
and went Into the biggest one. Bobby
Jones, yo unever heard such a noise, it
was Just awful.
"I saw an awful big Teddy Bear In
a cage, and one animal had such a
long neck that I did not find his head
at all. There was another animal
there, the queerest looking creature,
he looked as though he was turned
around, his tall was right on hts face
and he had little eyes I don't believe
he ever saw the whole of himself, his
eyes were so small. But he could
make a noise deaf."
"But how can I play circus?” asked
Bobby; “I am not an animal, am I?"
"Oh. you will he something T saw
In a side show, a Punch and Judy they

"What did he have to do?” asked
Bobby.
“Oh, he talked and he wasn't very
nice to his wife, and a poltcemnn car
ried him off.”
”Oh, good-bye,” said Bobby, think
ing of the time Druallla was arrested,
''then 1 shall have an adventure."
Druallla did not reply to this re
mark, but went on with her story.
"In another tent there were places
to sit down, so we all went In there
and ate peanuts and popcorn, and by
and by some beautiful horses, with
spangled saddles, walked past us and
gold carriages and beautiful la

The window of the paper doll’s house
opened Wider. "What did they do?*
she asked with a smile.
"They did not do anything," said
Drusllla with a toss of her head, "they
did not even speak.”
"1 guess 1 better look over my ward

blinds.

The prostration of the salaam, salu
tations that many Orientals use, are
only more pronounced forms of the
bow. So there la a connection be

missionary, placed one arm about his
neck and stroked him under the chin.

of EsUtmoca, Laplanders and May ale
do so.
Stranger than any of these customs
Is the weeping salutation that lias

"No, there was a lot more.” said
Drusllla. “Funny men who stood on
their heads and monkeys riding on the

“What did they laugh at?” asked

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
(Copyright, 1914, American Society
for Thrift.)
THE TAXATION FOLLY
By S. W. Straus, President American
Society for Thrift.
Franklin said: "The taxes are in
deed heavy; but If those laid on by
the government were the only ones
we had to pay, wo might more easily
discharge them; but we have many
others, and much more grievous to
some of us. We are taxed quite as
much by our Idleness, three times is
much by our pride, and four times as
much by our folly; and from those
taxes the commissioners cannot cass
or deliver us by allowing an abate
ment.”
The taxes of folly, pride and Idleness
are growing conspicuous in the United
States as a result of tho European
war. The extravagances and lack of
thrift In domestic affairs are produi
lng nationally higher costs of living
which thrift will cut. It comes home
lo the American housewife when now,
at the very beginning of the war, the
choice cuts of meats are almost out
of the queetlon for families of small
means; It Is predicted that sugar will
soon be teq cents a pound; flour, ce
reals, beans, cora, butter, tea, coffee,'
are higher—in fart, it Is said that tho
only marketable food not high at pres
ent Is the potato.
Mrs, Julian Heath, president of the
National Housewives' League In New
York. In a public appeal, said: "Ex
travagant living at this time will in
flate prices and cause great suffer
ing among the poor." The American
Society for Thrift telegraphed to Mrs.
Heath, as follows; "Every aid should

said, a noise Just as though he was
reading. Nettle gave him a cookie
and he ate' It all up in one mouthful
and Nettle’s mother said she dldq't
think he had very good manners, hut
Nettle petted his head and said she
thought he could be taught better.
He shook hands with them all and
went away chattering as fast as he
could. After lunch Nettle went up
stairs to take her nap and her mother
went down to the porch to read. Net
tie went to sleep and dreamed she
was giving pennies to the monkty and
that he was shaking hands with her.
When Nettle’s mother came up to
tell Nettle It was time to wake up
what do you think she saw on the
bed beside Nettie? The monkey that
had been there in the morning. He
had climbed up on the vines that wp*e
near the window and Jumped through
the window Into the bed.
They gave him something to eat
and In a little while the man came
and asked If they had seen his mon
key. He had laid down to rest with
the monkey tied to his arm and had
fallen asleep. In some way the mon
key had got loose and ran away. Net

be there war or no war. It is true
that there Is less meat on the family
table than ten years ago, but peo
ple have begun to appreciate the value
of vegetables and fruit. Any move
ment that will draw attention and
discussion to the subject of economy
will prove of great benefit to the peo
ple. That may be a blessing which
this terrible war may bestow on Am
erican citizens. • * • One thing is
sure, those who have suffered will
continue to suffer, only In a greater

Intelligent, thrifty management by
each housewife In her own home wlli,
however, avert suffering In the aver
age family. People are, as voiced by
Miss McDowell, beginning to appre
ciate the value of vegetables and
fruits. Why not put in a supply for
months ahead without hurting any
body else—by canning and preserving
the vegetables and fruits which other
years have rotted on the ground?
