It's Raining Dollars and Cents.

It was Robert Loveman, the
North Georgia poet, who wrote the
bright, delightful Rain Song" in
which he said:
1T isn't raining rain to me,
It's raining daffodils!"
The Georgia farmer has an excel
lent opportunity to change this song
a little, for it isn't raining rain for
the Georgia farmer 50 much as it is
raining dollars and cents. The re-
cent downpour which seems to have
been pretty general, has saved many
dollars for the farmers Of Lee coun-
ty and Georgia.
1t is not often that there is in this
part CT Georgia Spring that is so
well suited to the planting and early
cultivation of most Of the crops that
are planted in the new year. Farm
ers have had no trouble with grass,
while they have been able to plant
their crops and to see them begin
growing under favorable conditions.
With the rains, however, come
renewed responsibilities. 1t is now
timefor every farmer ~ stay right
at home and on the job, for grass in
South Georgia is accustomed to
springing palmost over.nightafter
such rains as the recent ones. I'm
less too much rain comes, the re-
cent downpour should proyeabene-
diction to every farmer.

Make the Wheels Go

It's very generally agreed now
that business prospects are better.
The wheels Of trade are feeling once
more the impetus Of better condi-
tions. But what Of the merchant
who doesn't advertiser
Even in the most prosperous
times the merchant who doesn't
advertise loses trade that should be
bis. lie fails to secure all Of the
business that by every law Of trade
should belong to him, because he
does not let people know what he
has to sell. But is not the condi-
ton of such a merchant still worse
in such times as have prevailed re-
Gently?
In most prosperous times there
IS sufficient trade to go around, to
give every merchant share. But
when trade is duh, the competition
for what trade exists is greater than
at any other time. That is why
judicious advertising now can be
made more profitable than ever.
=
The merchant who realizes this is
indeed the wise merchant.
In other words, don't let the
wheels run slowly. Keep them
well oiled by judicious and timely
advertising, Does it pay? Try it
and convince yourself. For exam
pie, if you let a load you are pull
ling come to dead stop, isn't it
mighty hard to start it again?
That's the point. Advertise and
keep the wheels going. Don't let
them stop and then have to start
anew. Keep things going

Compulsory Education For Georgia?

1t seems that the people of Geor-
gia viii yet be givena better oppor-
tunity than has ever been afforded
to answer the question that forms
the title Of this editorial. The re-
cent session of the Georgia Educa-
tional Association in Macon may,
in this respect, go down in history
as one of the most CONSPICUOUS Of all
the assemblies Of that worthy body
of educational laborers.
At the recent session Of Georgia
educators there was expressed a
significant agreement in opinion
concerning the matter of compulsory
education. State superintendent of
Education Britain boldly cham
pioned compulsory education and
emphasized the fact that conditions
seem more favorable than ever for
a law embodying that advance in
regard to education in Georgia.
Governor-Elect Harris agreed hear
tily with Mr.. Britain and pledged
his strongest support to both educa-
tors and legislators in their work to
better educational affairs in Geor-
gia.
1t does seem that with such una
nimity of opinion, the forthcoming
legislature may be enabled to &C
complish the passage of such a law
as viii give the state compulsory
education and eliminate the negro
problem in connection with such q
reform. It win mean a great stride
forward for Georgia when such a
day comes.

GEORGIA'S EXPERIENCE
Is Being INVESTIGATED

Atlanta, Ga.--Whether or not Geor-
gla has had the same experience as
other countries OF the world in con.
nection with a prohibition measure
that has generally permitted the sale
OF beer, but forbidden the sale Of
whiskey, is being investigated in de-
tail in connection with the proposal
of radical prohibition leaders TO make
the law more stringent.
Statistics received from the United
States Department OF Commerce and
Labor, and from foreign countries,
tend to show that beer has been an
aid rather than hindrance to TEN.
perance. "Marse" Henry Watterson
OF the Louisville Courier-Journal is
quoted as saying that "the introduc.
ton Of beer in America has done more
for temperance than all the temper
ance societies and all the prohibition
laws combined"
The per capita consumption Of beer
an America shows a growing popular
Ity OF this beverage as opposed to
stronger alcoholic drinks. The figures
show that as communities progress
and manners and customs improve,
the people as q whole turn gradually
from the strong alcoholic drinks to the
lighter ones. It is also shown that
where beer has been taken away from
the public by extreme legislation, it
has tended to increase the use Of other
stronger alcoholic drinks always OBJ.

hibition, and has also increased the

for the electrical workers. who en-
tered the hearing on the rules only
last Monday. While the companies
assert that Il win add 10 their cost
of maintenance. the following aug.
gcstions Of the electrical workers
were adopted. First. 10 provide
more room among the wirct. The
electrical worker must do bin work
with the wires hot, that N while
they are carrying electricity. There
is little danger In handling the sec
ondary wires. which carry eIa ctricIty
into the houses. but usually there
are higher voltage wires above them
on the cross arms. II was the de-
sire of the workers 10 have the
greatest possible distance between
the cross arms on the poles. Two
feet Ia now the distance used Three
feet will be used under The new
rules.
