SomerviIle citizens and business men
might well ask themselves whether or
not they are leading the broad business
lives that their business and their town
expects of them. No town in the whole
country has more capable business men
or men VINO look more closely after
their business, but they are leaving
opportunities which they might embrace
and bring profit to the town and to
themselves. The support recently
given the Better Farming campaign
was half-hearted on the part of all ex-
cept very small minority of our BUSH
ness men, the committees which were
appointed did their work. If we except
one or two Of these committees, in less
than half-hesrted way, in fact much
OF It has not been done yet and the bills
for that campaign are yet unpaid, BUSH
ness men guaranteed to pay it and
when called on for their part responded
in that same half.hearted way. some
few cents when they should have
given dollars. The policy is psrsimoni-
Gus. Last year business mems club
was organized and that organization.

One of the most notable and most
worthy humanitarian movements of
Governor Rye and the last legislature
was realized a few days ago when sew
eral hundred of the convicts at the main
prison in Nashville were placed in the
new tuberculosis hospital provided by
the legislature and recently built un-
der that provision. In the past tuber-
cular convicts have been kept with
others, thereby endangering the lives
Of we'll ones, and furnishing no protec-
ton to the sick ones, The state has
paid one of her debts to these unfor-
Inmates.

The Falcon has wanted to see more
small fruits and vegetables for market
planted in this county for the reason
that there is not section of country to
be found in the whole south which de-
votes a part of its acreage to these
things that is not prosperous and happy.
These sections have more money to
spend, and hence business and profess
sional men get more money than sec
tons not giving time to such crops. A
few very profitable strawberry crops
have been grown here in the past few
years, but they have been on small
scale. 0ne-elghth of an acre year be-
fore last brought its owner more than
$50, and other large profits have been
realized. But there are now too many
berries for local consumption and not
enough for profitable shipment. The
crop should be increased SO that car
load shipments could be made and then
the community would profit byi it. The
same is true Of vegetables there were
too many raised last year in some lines
for profitable home marketing, but not
enough for profitable shipping. A few
men in the county who have been per-
sistent in vegetable growing for sey-
eral years have made it profitable, not
able among these is A. A. Smith of
Oakland, who has prOfited almost each
year for about ten years from cabbage,
potatoes and tomatoes. A. S. Thomp-
son of Laconia has made money on his
sweet potatoes, and where ever we
find a man who has stuck to it he has
made it profitable. We need more
of these and business and professional
men alike would profit as well as the
grower.

IhA wokK TAAT Musl BE DoNe

It's moi he work you'd like to do,
The work that pleases most,
Or represents the best in you,
OF which you really boast;
It's work that s done from loyalty,
That means a triumph won;
And ones best work must ever be
The work that MUST be done.
For time and tide wait for no man,
And Duty's clarion call
Rings out; you do the best YOU can;
You give your heart and all;
Though oft the heart is full of tears,
And hidden be the sun,
The world will Judge you, it appears
By work that MUST be done.
What though the task heartbreaking b
Or scarce seem worth the while?
The painted clown you sometimes see
Might reason in this style.
His ws-what are they to YOU?
His to provide the fun;
And thus he does, as you must do,
The work that MUST be done.

A recent trip with a friend in his
automobile over Fayette county public
roads revealed the horrible condition of
some of these thorofares. The one
greatest fault is the lack of proper
grading, In many places the center of
the road is the lowest part of it, there
being banks just to right and lett
where the side bitches should begin,
and the bitches actually higher than
the bed of the road and separated from
IT by banks, in some cases a foot high.
Now this forces the water right down
the bed of the road and as a result
many places are washed into ruts that
would stop any thing from a steam
engine to toy wagon. 1t is shameful
the way some OF these roaus we saw
have been neglected and if the contrac.
tors get the money for working them
some magistrate is going to run mighty
close to purjury in reporting and we
don't believe any magistrate is going to
do that. Many roads have been well
worked and are well drained and hence
in good condition, but others are bad
ard the county should not be asked to
pay for work on them, for it has not
been done.

There is sentence in the commupi-
cation of ]. A. McNabb in this issue
which appeals to The Falcon strongly.
Somerville needs man who will keep
on hand fertilizers, limestone, acid phos-
phste and other such things the farmer
needs and buy every species of produce
the farmer offers for sale. Furthur it
should be added and keep a stock of
field seeds in season. There is a spen-
did opportunity right here for such
business and sooner or later it must
come. 1t means much to the country
because it furnishes a convenient mar
ket for their products and furnishes
these needs of the farmer in whatever
quantity he may want to buy. We are
hoping to see the quick arrival of the
day when such business will be estab-
lished in Somervile.

The winter is about to arrive and

Mr.. Mobley Of Arkansas said last
week that the business interests of the

From the papers last week it was
seen that the state of Mississippi sold
500, 900 worth of cotton seed at one
time at price of SAC per ton, and we
are just wondering why Mississippi
seed are worth $l4 per ton more than
Fayette county seed. Buyers here are
paying $32 ner ton. Early in theseason
a local buyer forced the price up to $40
but he left and the price at once drop
ped to $32, altho the price paid by the
mills as shown by the above named
sale is actully higher now than then.
Seed should bring more here than they
are bringing.

The Falcon has had three requests in
week to "bless OUT people who turn
