Good Work for Georgia.

T HE prospect that Georgia's quota of
stock in the Federal International
Banking Company will be subscribed
we'll within the time limit is highly encourag-
ing and significant. No more fertile enter
prise has been presented to the States COM
mon business interests than this movement
to facilitate and upbuld the marketing of
Southern products, notably cotton, in foreign
lands. Millions of bales of DiXies chief
money crop would be moving to Continental
Europe if the reasonable credit accommoda-
lions which the Federal International Bank
ing Company will afford were now available;
and with that channel of demand and sup
ply duly functioning, there would be prompt
improvement in the general cotton market.
The South no longer should be left to cali
for special and outside assistance in matters
of this kind. She has the resources, if only
they were organized, to finance all such
needs; and organized they will be as soon
as the forcing sales banking company gets
into operation. Rice, sugar. lumber and
manufactured articles, as we'll as cotton, will
find more extensive and more active markets
through the facilities of that institution; in
deed, there is scarcely field of production
in Georgia and the South that will not be
enriched thereby.
1t is exceedingly gratifying, therefore, that
the States part of the six millions of cap
ital stock is being promptly subscribed.

The Modern Art of Killing

vt is not without cheering Significance
that when the British war office re
- Gently requested universities to enter
upon research work for the development
of chemical warfare ''to it's utmost ex-
tent there was great deal Oh adverse
comment and sharp interrogat1ons IN the
House of Commons. That there should be
so prompt and outspoken a body of public
sentiment against the suggestion OF war
fare with poison gas is at least interesting.
Time was when hint of that kind would
have kindled intense and approving spec
ulation amongst the rank and file.
So long as there are war departments
and there probably will be war depart
ments for some decades if not some CEN
turtles to conceive may expect them to
conduct and encourage researches into the
ancient yet seemingly inexhaustible art of
killing That is the business of war de-
partments; and they would be exceedingly
remiss if they neglected to learn every
thing dfscoverable about poison gas. One
can imagine their experts in that partic-
ular chamber Of horrors-gentlemen as per-
sonally kind and humane as ever trod upon
meats Ieather-explaining somewhat in
this wise: "Of course, we hope that OUR
country will never be called upon to burn
and MAIN and torture and kill with poison
gas, but one never knows what the
ENEMY will do; we must be prepared"
And as long as the world is upon it's pres
ent status, there is really no convincing
answer to that argument.
Still, there is a modicum of hope in
the fact that people everywhere are re-
coiling from the dread armories of sci
ence, rather than glorying in them. It
may be that Article One Seventy-One of
the Treaty of Versailles forbidding the
use of the horrible agencies Of chemical
warfare will yet be enforced, if public
opinion continues in it's present trend. Is
it not easier, however, to prevent war than
to prevent the use of a particular weapon,
once the fighting starts? 1t is not we'll
nigh unimaginable, after what occurred be-
tween the red dawn Of Luvaine and the
red cleaning of the Argonne, that war
can be humane? Prevented it may be- but
hardly ameliorated.

| Journal will appear an announcement con-
corning the important program about to be
put under way in Georgia by the Boy Scouts
of America.
Not only every boy, but every father and
mother in the state, should be interested in
this news.
1t means that the marvellous Boy Scout or
ganization-the wonderful brotherhood that
is making thousands of young Americans bet
ter Americans-will no longer be an advan-
| tage possessed only by the city boy.
| The Boy Scouts are going to spread all
! over Georgia-throughou the smaller towns,
the farms, the mountains, the most remote
rural district.
The Boy Scout idea lets a boy know prac-
tically everything he wants to know and
| ought to know.
Woodcraft, sports, hiking, camping, self
| reliance, of course, generosity, courtesy, I'M
Misunderstanding that goes into MAX
ing boy happy, sturdy and clean in mind
and body, are in the Boy Scout creed.
In the centers of population where the
khaki uniforms of the Scouts are familiar
sites, these young knights command respect
wherever they go.
They have earned their universal respect
In time of war, their services were invalu-
able In time of peace, their usefulness is
constantly needed.
Atlanta, or any other city, could hardly get
along without the Boy Scouts.
No matter what the occasion or the emer-
gency, they have so capably, willingly and
consistently filled important posts, the COM
munity would be sadly handicapped without
them.
"Be prepared is the Scout motto. And
stservice" is the Scout creed But totally
aside from their contribution to the welfare
of the nation, no class of boys on earth have
a better time.
Any boy who joins troop of Boy Scouts
has a busy, interesting, enjoyable future
ahead of him.
The Tr-Weekly Journal hopes that every
one of it's boy readers will watch for the
news that will explain how he can become
Boy Scout.

ten to fifteen bushels on a small AREA he
planted in rise this year. For several
years past he had been annually raising
a small quantity of rice, either on upland
of bottom land. He is the first farmer
in the county to ever attempt rice cult

will plant rice to help reduce the high

Want Titles

Cultivators of the garden plot allotments
on government land near Vienna, Austria,
are agitating to obtain title to their holdings,
There are about 10000 of these plots, each
of about 500 square feet the slopes of
the great Vienna forest, and the cultivators
have organized to get title and permission to
build huts.
While expressing it's sympathy with them
the government officials replied to a great
demonstration held the other day that they
were opening up the whole question of land
appropriation, a delicate issue between the
two dominant parties, and one on which the
demonstrators themselves are divided when
it comes to applying it to private estates.

A Womans whole life is spent on an altar
She is always worshiping something-an

We used to speak of the fall from grace
but the modern debutante doesn't wait to

floats out on the sea of experience.

always has to cuddle up fluffy kitten and

No woman can resist the man whose gaze
of alteration is as fixed and perpetual as his

as naturally and constantly as he does his
collar.
1t takes just about a year of marriage for
a man to become accustomed to going home
regularly and staying there, evenings-and
just about another year for him to begin to
wonder why he does it.
When a man declares that woman ''un-
derstands' him. you may safely conclude that
she knows just enough about him to serve
him his favorite dishes, overlook his favorite
weaknesses, laugh at his favorite stories, and
applaud his favorte illusions about himself.
