SM.lLE!

SMILE!
Az we 70 thru this earthly life
There's sometimes friction. some.
times strife;
But while we're In this Vale OF
Tears
We need to oil LIES running gears;
The thing to do when tempers rifle
Is, try the oil called Pleasant Smile;
Just pour in every facial groove.
1t will the oil Of gladness prove.
The thing to help you win life's race
Is just pleasant smiling face;
A smile will help you up life's hill.
While frowns the forward pace will
The man who crepes his face in
gloom.
We shun: and much prefer his room.
While he who wreathes his face in
smiles
Wins in the race by many miles!
There's naught to smile about" you
say?
Why listen, here's an easy way,
Just smile about Milady's gowns;
Smile as you gaze-nix on the frowns:
And she'll be pleased to have you
beam
Upon her new diaphanous dream.
Or else her latest picture hat,
Now, when you take q glance at that,
You see the reason for smile;
Like gown it's such funny style.
Or when some fair brave suffragette
Appeals to you, your vote to get,
Don't dare to greet her with frown,
Nor think her cause to thus turn
down;
Be wise, and smile the best you can
And do 1t like little man;
Be reconciled to what is fate,
Smile for an Equal Suffrage State!
Or when some mere man" comes
along
And gives you quite a little song,
Perhaps it is an agent gay,
Who finds you on your busy day;
And tho you have no time to talk,
The fellow will not take a walk;
Just tell him without Spleen" or
"bile,"
"Life's short; your spells too long
then smile.
Or 1t may be the knocker man.
Who knocks" as hard as e'er he
can;
Just tell him without any guile.
Forget to knock and try the SMILE"
Who boosts" but has no well laid
plan;
Who gives you "hot air" all the
while;
Well, just give him the same-and
smile.
At any rate "cut out" the frown;~
Frowns won't improve your home, or
town;
Likewise they don't improve your
"phiz,"
And certainly won't help your "biz."
At best life is not all a song,
But smiles will help smooth out the
wrong;
This beauty tip is free-don't scott
It's wear "the smile that won't come
Off"

CONNECTICUT WAS
TOO COLD FOR JACK
Saws the Cost of Living Is High and
Many Negroes Are Suffering
From the Intense Cold.

Jack Fort, a negro carpenter and
plasterer who recently went to Hart
ford, Conn, in pursuit of the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow, has
returned to Dawson with the full de-
termination to make this section his
home for the remainder of his days.
He says he found Connecticut too
cold for him, and he decided to re
turn while returning was good. He
said there were other negroes up
there who were suffering on account
of insufficient clothing and poor
houses, and that while labor was paid
from $3.50 to SO day, according to
the skill and efficiency of the laborer,
the expense of living was very high,
which about equalized the compen-
sation paid down here and in Con-
necticut.
Jack is not advising any of his ac-
quaintances to emigrate.

ATLANTA TRUST COMPANY
ORGANIZES FARM DEPARTMENT
Georgia Farmers Can Get Money at
Five and Half Per Cent.


Five and Half Per Cent.
The average Georgia farm will
more than pay for itself the first
wear, according to figures recently
compiled, which show that while the
average cost per acre of farm land
in this state is S13.74, such a farm
will produce $15.98 per year per
acre for its owner.
This bit of information is of in
terest not only to the Georgia farm
er who hopes to develop his farm still
further. but also to the farmer Of
the North and Northwest who IS
making less money on his farm
which costs him many times as much.
With Georgia just breaking away
from the one-crop idea and taking up
cattle raising and diversified farming
the figures for 1917 will be even
greater than for the past years.
One of the main factors in the
state that is developing farm land
and attracting settlers from the cold
North and West is the Atlanta Trust
COMPANY, which has recently organ
lied and put into operation a farm
loan department. This company is
lending money direct to the farmer
at 1-2 per cent. They make a spe-
cialty of handling every detail OF
their work and there are no expen'
sive fees to be paid attorneys and
abstractors by the man desiring a
loan, as this company has both at
torneys and expert abstractors on
their staff.
The Atlanta Trust Company moi
only makes a loan to the farmer foi
five years at reasonable rate OF
interest, but they also open to the
borrower every department of then
we'll organized banking and trust
business. When they make a loan
they adopt the farmer, as it were
and watch over him and assist II
every manner possible to make him
succeed.
Five and one-half per cent. money
to the farmer will result in better
farms, better stock, better equip
ment. better barns and better homes
throughout the state.
The Atlanta Trust Company lend>
money only to farmers they know are
the sort that will use the same IL
developing their land. They advocate
modern farming in every respect anc
when they find a farmer who wants
to better himself by improving hi
farm they are ready to do everything
in their power to help him.
