but it is of such tremendous impor

to every voter in Georgia Hoke Smith

THAT isn't so and Hoke Smith knows
it. Wilson has no notion of third

nation was willing. That is not in his
mind. You ask how we know? Ii

WORDS MEANINGS
EXPANDED BY STUDY

We sometimes speak of a kind"
person, things OF the same kind"
and again of mankind" but do
we ever reflect that the three words
come from the same root? That
wonderful genius. Shakespeare
meant more than a mere play on
words when he put into Hamlets
mouth-who was alluding to his
fathers brother - "A little more
than kin, and less than kind"
A "Rind" person is one who
treats other people as his kindred,
and by his words or actions con-
fesses his kinship. Things of the
same kind" are of the same fam
lily. Mankind" includes the whole
human race. The meaning that
gradually unfolds itself as flower
develops. leaf by leaf. is therefore
significant and beautiful. Words
we use today meant other things
centuries ago. But there is always
reason for it. Language is not
mere haphazard growth. but a
logical development interviewer
with the historic development and
growth of a people.

Once upon q time. as Uncle Wig

to cool. shady nook and peered
about for place where he might

go, type that for some reason or
other, is rather rare in this coun-
try. So frequently our American
girls are OF large frame, so that if
they are well rounded" at all they
must needs be of rather matronly
figure. 1t may be. too, that the in
tense nervous activity of our young
girls prevents them from acquiring
the graceful rounded contours that
are to be found more often among
French women.
Diane of Poitiers whose beauty
still lives in the pages of history
was one of the rounded, slender
women Of France, and she retained
the 1.-the figure of her youth. always
well rounded, through middle age,
until her death, as a result of her
systematic outdoor exercise.
Balzac speaks of this slender
round figure as being a sign of
strength but also an infallible evil
dence of self will, which when il is
found in woman whose mind is
not especially keen. becomes actual
obstinacy.

Then the bunny sat down on the
top OF the stump and gave sigh
OF contentment. Before he knew it
he was fast, fast asleep.
Now among the things Uncle
wiggily had bought for Nurse Jane
at the three and four cent store
were several packages of flower
seeds. And as the bunny slept the
seeds fell out of his pocket on the
soft, rich earth near the stump.
Then some water from a nearby
spring trickled over and wet the
place where the seeds fell. The
warm sun CLEANED down and the
seeds began to swell, burst and
sprout.
How long Uncle wiggily slept
he did not know, but suddenly he
awakened and he found himself in
side a bower OF flowers and vines.
The flowers and green vines had
sprung up from the seeds which
fell from the bunny rabbits pocket
as he slept.
Dear me! What surprising

as he rubbed his pink. twinkling
nose. There were no flowers here

growing around 1t. nor could they

the flowers and vines changed me
