Lets turn the calendar back 2 few years and study it, and at |the same time use a little com mon sense and reasoning. We have heard nothing but hard times talked ard preached during the last twp yea's or longer, people having a hard time establishing a credit with local business men to ‘‘run” them ‘‘until the Fall.” | Now then. A few years ago the farmers depeunced almost rentirely on his cotton crcp, a one crop-a year fcr their money‘ to spend. During these years there were four ﬂourisl‘.ing? banking institutions in Jeil Davis county, three in'l'lazle-i hurst and one at Denton. Our people would sacdle up or hitch up their nag -to a buggy (:r! wagon and the entire family would come to town tradingz or go to chureh on Sundays. Peo ule were not in a rush togo nowhere aund a rushier rush to return from whence they come. In other words, peopie did noti make one-fourth the money they make now, yet they lived better and there had to be a calamity if everybody were not out. of e generally make plenty of money now, but time they get it they 0 aulomobil'e crazy and na turally buy a car—some cheap ‘cars, some high priced cars, | gsome new cars and some second- | hand cars, but cars just the’ same. When they purchased| themseives a car the expense was just starting, but be it as it may and to hang with the ex pense our people were riding! What if the tooacco culture had net been introduced into Jeff Davis county and people living like they were a few years ago, how in the world could they meet their riding expenses? Or just suppo:e all the cars in Jeff Davis county, that is, the cars that sare not setually needed by doctors and| a few others, ceuld be converted ‘back into money, why it would take a half-dozen Banks LoI 'handle the money and allour people would be independent, 'so to speak. Plenty of money is being turned loose in Jefl :Davis county right now for the }tolfacco crop and at an early ‘date another stream of money ‘will begin to pour into our county for the cotton ciop, but iif people don’t change their wayl of extravagant ricing the ma- Jjority will be going ‘round next ebruary and March trying to ‘make arrangements to fiuance ' their creps. And it may Lo¢ be a fine erop like is being harvest 'ed this year. | - Money, hard times? Hel.aud mara, if our people will wurn back a few years ard live like they did then there will be more money in the County than ever known befors. We don't give a hang about‘ the future, but give us a car sand plenty of gas, and we will‘ ikeep up with the neighbcr in riding. Automobiles have played a !wonderful part in bringing the Jcountry and cities cioser to -Igether, but at the same time | ¥ Summer Houndup | )e.annua! summer roundup of the pre- 1 children that has been con du by our P. T. A. will be pushed with- earnestness this year than ever Before if this is possible. The pre-sehool child offers a great prob lem ¢ at the same time the greatest of s.lfl jpportunities. In round numbers, we hg Ve 180,000 children in our ltate‘ entering school each year. This is a fairlge gocd army. They are not‘ equipped ifor Cuty as they should be and tßis annual roundup is to ald in getting them ready. : State Board of Health has been co-op@rating with the congress of Pa ’ j=Teachiors as best it” could ln] this kin the past; and this year, we @@ irformed, will try to do more’ than @¥er before. Every child should entari school protected as nearly as possible from such discases as we have remef@ifes for. Some cf our vaccines are miost effcctive, others are effective in & Brge measure, but not as nearly perfg@t as others. Smellpox vaccina tiont @B, very dopendable, and every h fiould be protected against this awiil @iscase. Thoe best time is at niné@onihs of ase, but certainly be foralhe child enters school Diph therll i not drocded iiko it once ‘.'.'us,’ oWI €0 ths 2d7ances made by sci eficdt The toxin-gntitoxin is almost | 100g88 protection and should be given - ;ballw before it is a year old ands no T : J childsh suld enter school without hav ing/#Beeived it. The State Poard of leal#lithas socured 600 doses for each county "in our stato for this summer roun@up.

Wiigapjus cough is sot 50 near por ..it_ls worth vaccinating vaccines that are effective and well worth while that should be discussad with your family doctor and used ac cording to his advice. We hope that every school in our county will give the consideration that is due the summer rovadup and let it be our iruthful claim. that the first graders in our coun'y are physically the best in Georgia.
