z. that x for r resources, climate, __, , lands, „ Art etc. .
no place equals Georgia. Land that
we would not pay taxes on here is be
ing grabbed at fabulous prices. The
impression has gone out that every-'
one wants to live in Florida and are
willing to pay any price for it, and
every price is fisted with a real estate
agent, who advertises it, talks it, puts
a big price on it and sells it. There
is no denying the fact that good roads
advertising, beautifying have done
more than half towards inflating the
big boom bubble, it may burst soon—
maybe not. But I would warn all
who contemplate going there to five,
if you have children, you are going to
have a hard time finding a place to
keep them, no one wants to rent to
a couple with children, some positive¬
ly will not.
While in the city we were the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Ragan, former
ly of Sale City, also our sons, Carey
and Otis Stevens, who are salesmen
for Albright Motor Co. Tis a fine
town and a professional man can do
well there in the winter season, when
the city is full of tourists, there is
plenty of work for carpenters, but far¬
mers had better stay in Georgia, for
we saw nothing resembling a good
Georgia farm.
Beauty and the Brute
"He had pretended to be what she
thought him, a strong, ruthless brute.
Women liked that kind of man, only
there weren't any, really. No men
that be knew were strong, or brutes.
They were weak, really, and shy, and
lonely, only they couldn’t admit It, be¬
cause their women wouldn’t love them
If they did.”—From "Three Pilgrims
and a Tinker," by Mary Borden.

Notice To Our
Correspondents
Nearly every week we have to leave
out communications intended for this
page and we know the writers of
these letters wonder why thew were
not printed. So, from time to time,
we publish a little notice like this to
let them know what the trouble is.
If you have sent in a communication
to The Enterprise and it failed to
appear in print, it was left out for
one of the following reasons:
1 . Failed to sign your name.
2. Reached us too late.
3. Contained objectionable mat
ter.
4. Poorly written. No news of
value.
The most frequent cause for failing
to publish communications is given
first. We do not publish unsigned
articles. No newspaper does. The
first thing the editor looks for is the
signature at the bottom of the letter
and if it is not there he does not ev¬
en read the communication, for it is
of no value to him, no matter how well
it is written. If the letter is signed
we will do our best to correct any
other defects that may be found, but
no time at all is wasted on an unsign¬
ed letter.
The second reason, in point of the
number of communications left out,
is because of late arrival at this of¬
fice. All communications should
reach this office TUESDAY. Letters
that come in by rural carrier Wed¬
nesday are not received at this office
until we have quit work for the day
and after the correspondence page has
been closed. Mail your letters so that
they will reach us Tuesday and they
will be printed—if they are signed.
We do not have a great deal of
trouble on account of objectionable
matter, which is placed in third place
among the reasons that exclude let¬
ters. Occasionally a correspondent
tries to “get even” with someone by
writing something for the paper that:
will be embarassing or humiliating
to the party against whom they hold
a grudge. The little “digs” are us¬
ually concealed, but when we find
them that correspondent is through
writing for this paper. Jokes also
come under suspicion. Many people
do not like to be joked in the news- i i
paper, and we prefer not to print
them except where we know all par¬
ties concerned.
Very few letters are left out on
account of the fourth reason. If
there is any news in the letter and we
can read it, we will dig it out and re¬
write it. However, we do not con¬
sider the announcement that Mr. So
and-so and Miss So-and-so were are
riding, or that the former called on
the latter, as of much news value, and
besides the chances are that Mr. So
and-so has another "sweetie” and
Miss So-and-so a real “steady” who
will make trouble when they see the
“news” in print. Communications in
which such items predominate are
sometimes left out.
The Enterprise welcomes corres¬
pondence form any community in the
county, and no letter will be left out
if there is nothing improper in it and
we know who is the author of it.
Leave off the foolishness and write
news, mail the letter in time and be
sure to sign your name. We will
print them all, even if we have to en¬
large the paper.
G$rl Babies Are Killed
During Food Shortage
Among the Eskimos in the upper
Hudson Bay country girl babies are
killed by the parents if there is a
shortage of food, according to Knud
Rasmussen, Arctic explorer. The cus¬
tom is dictated, he says, entirely by
the difficulties of obtaining food for
large families.
If there is not provender enough,
says the explorer, the Eskimos kill the
babies immediately after birth by
smothering them. If a girl baby,
prior to birth, is pledged in marriage
the mother will preserve it. If not,
the infant is killed. Boy babies have
a greater value and are seldom, if
ever, killed.
Wild Boy of 16 Years
See First Human Being
A 16-year-old boy, 6 feet 4 inches
tall and weighing 200 pounds, saw
men, women and civilization for the
first time recently at Prince Rupert,
British Columbia. Except for his
mother, who has dressed him as a
girl since he was born, the youth nev¬
er saw a human being,
With his parents he lived in a shack
in the middle of a deep forest, where
he ran wild. Authorities are taking
the mother to an asylum for
the insane and are sending the boy to
an industrial home.
