CRACKER PHILOSOPHY
By R. M. J.
(THE TIMES may, or may not,
agree with the views expressed in
this column; and the writer alone is
responsible for what is said.)
“PULL FOR WILLACOOCHEE OR
PULL OUT.”
Every merchant in Willacoochee
should be in on the Times’ Trade
.jit Hoim Campaign.

It pays to say you’re feeing fine
whether you are or not. It saves
answering a lot of questions.

A friend savs whenever he mar
ries he wants a wife ugly enough
that other men won’t pay her any
attention when she tries to flirt
with them.

Florida has many natural ad
vantages, and attractions. For in
stance, while down t’n ire recently,
we met a girl who doesn’t use
rouge or lipstick.

Jazzaway jinx of the Valdosta
Times says when a boy finds the
girl of his dreams he’ll lose sleep
oyer her. Yes, he’ll wake up to
learn it was all a dream and be
come restless.

President Hoover believes that
business conditions will make a
change for the better within the
next 69 days. Some of the people
say if times change at all they’ll
have to be better, as they coulc
hardly be worse than they art
right now.
It has been suggested that thi:
column is not original—that wt
Bwipe our ideas from newspaper:
and magazines. And neither i
this particular accusation original.
Others have said the same thing.

The Literary Digest i 3 conduct
ing a straw vote for the purpost
of seeing how the country stand
on the prohibition question. If yin

opinion and let’s f ind out what the
the people really think about the
“dry” laws as they are today.

‘‘A fine new auto is a handsom e
thing, but the best looking vehicle
in the world is a baby carriage,
with a pretty baby in it and a
pretty mother pushing it,” says
Editor Benjamin of the Dunnellon,
Fla., Bun. We are personally ac
quainted with “Uncle Ben/' and
he’s just the sort of fellow to say
things like that. But H T. Rawls,
commenting in the Nahunta En
terprise, says: “Brother Benjamin
is right, and the most disgusting
thing in the world is a silly, nimble
brained, painted, half dressed
flapper getting fallen arches hang
ing around a soda fount in a small
town, to oggle the boys as they
come in. We need less of that
kind and more of the kind de
scribed by Editor Benjamin,” Mr.
Rawls, apparently, is about five
or ten years behind the times. He
should remember that many of
“Uncle Ben’s” pretty mothersused
to hang around the soda founts
and “oggle” the fellows who are
now the hard-working fathers of
their pretty babies.

PONCE had the misfortune to know a pessimist. There
was some excuse for his pessimism. He was r ~<utow
chested chap threatened with tuberculosis.
He had given himself up for lost.
Oq.e night somebody induced him to go to a singing
school.
A year later his chest was filled out; there was a sparkle
in his his laugh could be heard a city block away.
He had learned how to breathe.
Even when you pratice deep breathing exercises you
probably d« not fill your entire lung capacity. You expand
your chest; but the really important part of your breathing
is done with your diaphragm—a big flat muscle that forms
the floor of your chest.
And the abdominal muscles are the boys you need to
train if-'you are to get the most out of your diaphragm.
Fill your lungs until you feel your stomach muscles
hard against your belt.
That means that your diaphragm has straightened down
and is massaging the top of your stomach and intestines—
helping along with the process of elimination.
When you breathe out, do it forcibly, with the stomach
muscles: like a horse snorting —but without the snort.
Your stomach and intestines will be forced up against
the 'iaphragm again and given another massage.
Breathing in is important, but breathing out is much
more important.
Read sometime a book by a man like Thoreau, onjohn
Burroughs, or Stewart Edward White—one of the grea^pen
air writers.
* Then, while the impression of its rich, bounding optimism
is still strong upon you, pick up a book written by one of the
Russian novelists, or by one of our modern longhaired writers
who believe that realism necessarily means murder and
drunkenness and prostitution.
What a difference! And what makes the difference?
The realist will tell you that it is because he
deeply, while the optimistic writer thinks
As a matter of fact, the difference is not in the
of the two men, but in their livers.
It is not the depth of their thinking so much as the depths
of their lungs.
The corpuscles of the one are red and fed with oxygen;
the corpuscles of the other are pale and fed with cigarette
smoke and ,germs.
what, after all, is Life?” asks an old Sanskrit quota
tion. ® And answers:
“Life is the interval between one breath and another—
he who only half breathes only half lives.”
Politics are warming in Geor
gia. Senator Rivers down at Lake
land has announced his candidacy
for governor. Every tiling else be*
ing equal, we’d favor Rivers on
the grounds that he is a South
Georgian, but we can’t afford to
be so “patriot.c” whenever such
an important pclL as the governor
ship of the state is concerned. We
want the best man, no matter
where he’s from, and we’re wait
ing to see who he’s going to be.

William Allen White, K-maa
editor and a member of President
Hoover’s commission appointed to
study conditions in Haiti, i iss d
the hand ot an aged Negress upon
arrival on the i land. When the
item appeared in :he papers, the
Chicago Tribune commenting edi
torially, said: “We sat up after 12
lasi night waiting to see whether
South Carolina and* Mississippi
would go out of the uniou or march
an army against Kansas.” As the
Atlanta Georgian says, ‘.‘l hat's
pretty cheap and silly stuff, and
it looks as it Ul2 Chicago Tribune
might have outgrow n it.” It is our
private opinion pubicly expressed
that Southern folk don’t give e
darn how many Negro hands o:
other convenient spots Mr. White
kisses That’s his business; not
ours.
