The weekly papers of the state
and the smaller dailies, too, have had
considerable to say recently relative
to the tendency of some of the larger
papers to poke fun at the country
papers because of the personal notices
they print. No doubt the man who
has never lived in the rural districts
and who has never come in contact
with the people whose affairs are told
of in the country newspapers cannot
understand the 'whyness" of such
little references. He doesn't know
why it should be of interest to any
body that Mary Applesauce ''buggied"
with John Hardscrapple last Sunday,
or the fact that Jim Hardacre should
wear light trousers to church on
Wednesday night is sufficient interest
to put in the paper. He thinks it is
rather silly.
1t may be. But it is scarcely any
more so than some of the articles we
see in the social columns of the
larger papers. 1t was only last week,
for instance, that we observed in a
metropolitan newspaper under a big
head that a New York gentleman and
his wife had dined with the husband S
father on Christmas day Surely that
was of deep interest to New Workers
despite the fact that in the same city
there were probably a thousand
young couples who were having din
ner under exactly the same circum-
stances, and throughout the country
there must have been a million or
more similar cases This inSignifi-
cant affair was an item in New York,
but we doubt if it would have been
worth a country CORES

Meat Will Be Scarce.

Meat in America will be a rarity
before the war ends, with its drain
on our supply" said Henry j. Will
Hanson, government statistician in
the department of agriculture. The
number of cattle has diminished and
fhe population increased progressive
Nv for ten years until now they are
900 widely divergent to hope to get
a full supply for at least ten years
more"
Mr.. Williamson has been in the
West more than a month visiting
stock centers.
UNLESS scientific breeding for in
crease is general and the slaughter
OF calves ceases before five years
have expired America will find her
self in the class of European coun-
tries that have to import beef" con-
tinued Mr.. Williamson.
Increased prices for meat and
leather goods were forecasts by gov
eminent and stock yards experts
who have compiled figures, estimat-
ing the visible supply of cattle at
IS, 100000, including calves, year
1ings and full-grown stock.
II is more important now than ever
that the Southwest Georgia farmer
should not neglect his meat crop this
year.

Georgia Apples.

The Savannah Press is missing the
luscious North Georgia apple thi
season and asks:
Where are all those North Geor-
gia apples we have been seeing at
state fairs and county lairs for all
these years? 1t cannot be possible
the same exhibit has been carted
around from show to show to i'm
press ruralites, suburbanites, ur-
banites and visitors from afar with
the apple growing possibilities of
the good old state. Apple growing
has become a profitable and pleas
urable industry in Georgia, par
1icularly in Rabun, Habersham,
Fannin and other mountain cOun-
&ies in North Georgia.
We are not posted on the matter
and therefore do not assume to speak
authoritatively, but a prominent citi-
gen of Rabun county who is well
known throughout Georgia made the
interesting statement to the editor OF
The News one day last week that the
Panama canal had practically ruined
the apple industry of Georgia. He
said that apples are now shipped
great distances and sold at retail in
Savannah for less than freight
charges on the North Georgia apples
TO that city.
1t might be worth while for our
Savannah contemporary to give us
some light on the subject.

From the Savannah Press.


pondent's attention in Jesup. And
yet the fact that Bill Smithers is
building a new barn or John Spinks
is "Sundaying" around with Mile
Caruthers is as interesting to Wayne
county folks as is the news that Mr..
and Mrs. Many Millions dined zen
famille" is of gossipy interest to
Broadway on Christmas morning.
But there is one advantage the
metropolitan press has over the coun-
try weekly boys. In the big cities
when there are weddings and mar
riages and giving in marriage the
city can go into more "gruesome"
details regarding the past mat
rimonial affiliations of the con-
tracing parties than can the country.
The Moultrie Observer cites a very
trite instance that makes very clear
the point we are trying to bring out.
We quote the Observer:
The following is a sample social
note from New York: Mrs. Robert
Goelet was married privately here
today to Henry Clews, Jr., Mrs.
Goelet, whose maiden name was
Elsie Whelen, some time ago OBJ
tanned divorce from Robert Goe-
let, a New York society man and
multi-millionaire. Mr.. Clews was
divorced in 1910 from his first
wife, formerly Miss Louise Hol-
lingsworth Morris of Baltimore,
who had been divorced from her
first husband, Frederick Gerhard,
of New York.
The country papers have nothing
that can overtop this. 1t is peculiar
to life in the big city. The country
would scarcely tolerate it.

tity, raising 94.3 per cent on the
farm. Per person they consumed
more poultry than in any other area
except Kansas, but their use OF eggs
was comparatively limited, being on
ly 26.6 dozen in a year for each per-
son as compared with So dozen in
Iowa and 43 dozen in Kansas. Prac-
tically all of their milk they churned
whole. so that the amount or fresh
milk drunk in a year was negligible,
while the consumption of buttermilk
reached the enormous quantity or
1O5 gallons per person year. Out
side of the Southern states such free
use of buttermilk was unknown in
the areas studied. Very little meat
was bought and no fuel at all, the
farm, furnishing on the average
$3.50 of the latter.
Altogether the average Georgia
farm supplied it's occupants with the
equivalent in food, fuel and shelter
of $519.63, a greater sum than was
the case in any other area included
in the investigation, and nearly 800
above the general average of $421.
In consequence the family was COM
PEELED to buy only $110 more of these
necessities, and was able to enjoy the
use of $500 of them. This total is
inferior only to Iowa, where the av-
erage was $668, and New York,
where it was $641 On the other
hand, the cash outlay of $11O in
Georgia was the smallest of any ex-
cepting North Carolina. From these
and similar statistics it is apparent
that money may be a comparatively
unimportant part of the farmers in
come.

So far as Georgia is concerned the
so-calIed Wade cotton loan fund has
been of no value yet in helping out
the cotton farmer, the merchant or
the banker. The money has been
ready for about two weeks and not
one application for a dollar of it has
been made by anybody in the state.
a fact that seems to bear out the
opinion of observant and well-in-
formed people that it would be of lit
tie service in relieving the cotton sit
uation.

BY Peter Radford, Lecturer

Those who put on ecclesiastical
robes are in a measure free to unlock
every door to the human heart and
enter the secret chambers of reason,
and every person should submit their
conduct to review and seek counsel
of those divinely appointed messen-
gers of life, but the momen the min
lister closes the Bible and opens the
law book he becomes a menace to
society.
The greatest peril to the church
today is politics. The temptation of
the ministry to throw down the cross
of Christ and pick up the club of
policeman; to substitute the penalties
of the law for the power of the altar

In the current issue of EVERYBODY
Magazine appears an article by ex-
President Roosevelt on the advant-
ages of what he calls military and
naval preparedness. He believes in
big army and navy and in training
the boys of the country as soldiers.
incidentally he utilities the opportu-
nifty to criticise the peace policies of
President Wilson and Mr.. Bryan and
to declare that the present admins
tration has let our army and navy
deteriorate to a degree that would
spell defeat and humiliation it, I'M

From the Progressive Farmer.

South-is growing it at a loss even
at ten and twelve cents a pound.
This being true, what's the answer?
Simply that we must average from
three-fourths of bale to bale per
acre. and that unless our lands are
capable of such yields we had better
plant them in peas, beans and clovers
until they are. incidentally the same
thing is true CT the fellow who has
been making only fifteen bushels of
corn per acre.

OF late there has been much said
about the cost Of growing cotton, es-

cents a pound. As a matter of fact,
the cost of growing cotton is largely
an individual proposition and will,

decrease as the yield per acre in
creases. We have long said, and take
occasion here to repeat. that the man
who makes only 200 pounds Of lint

Let us all hold cheerful and cour-
ageous thoughts for the New Year.
The crops produced in the United
States last year are estimated to be
worth ten billion dollars, which in
cludes poultry, dairy products, fruits,
vegetables, etc. That big bunch of
money can hardly get in circulation
without most of us getting some of it.

WHAT rs AN INDIAN?

From the Savannah News.
What is an Indian? Well, an In
dian is an Indian. Nothing else. That
is the answer Commissioner Sells of
the bureau of Indian affairs has OBJ
tanned in his inquiries of anthropolO-
gists and ethnologists. Some school
books classify the red men as an Off
shoot of the Monaghan race, but
hereafter the Indians themselves are
to be taught in their schools that
they are distinct race, a whole race
by themselves, one of the grand di-
visions of humanity. Whether they
will be made any happier by that
knowledge is a question. Maybe they
will trot along, Indian file, just as
they did when they thought they
were merely a branch Of a race.

the bottom OF the list with little
more than 100000.
1t would seem from statistics that
the highest totals and the highest
averages obtain in states and cities,
respectively, where the foreign ele-
ment is strongest. Agricultural COM
munities do not show, on a given
basis, as high an average or total as
communities where industrial pur-
suits are the rule. Yet this does not
signify that the agricultural popula-
ton is less thrifty; because the post
al savings facilities may not appeal
to the rural population as they do
to the city wage-earners, and also be-
cause there is tendency on the part
of agriculturalists to buy farms on

POSTAL SAVINGS GREATER
IN CITIES THAN IN THE
AGRICULTURAL SECTIONS

The postal authorities are proud
of the postal savings system. On
October 81 last there were 9,639
offices with more than 10000 de-
positories (Which includes branches
and stations) in operation in the
United States, Porto Rico and Hawaii
On that date there were about AIS
600 depositors, and the amount on
deposit was about $54.7OO,OOO.

purpose of buying postal savings
bonds. The total represented an
average of Sis pei depositor. In
year there had been a gain of more
than $4,000 depositors.
The increase in October was about
S3,5OO,O00 and is the second largest
since the system began operation.
New York City, with $7,5O5,S29,
leads all offices, with an average
daily receipt during that month of
100000.

working of the system are given by
