ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

ment are beginning business or profess

A Ill over the land young men at this mo-
~ ment are beginning business or profess
n sonal careers. They have done with
school and college. They have taken short
vacation after the strenuous period of final
examinations.
Now they are about to start making their
own way in the land. Few are those among
them who will not make the start with hopes
high.
For youth is essentially optimistic, youth
is fundamentally self-confident. In it's bright
lexicon there is no such word as failure. To
youth success is the one thing certain.
But youth too often forgets that success
depends on many things. And too often
youth forgets that it depends largely on the
definiteness Of young mans aim and the
vigor with which he organizes his life with
that aim in view.
No young man can drift to success. No
young man possibly succeed if he lets
the power that is in him lie latent, or if he
5catters it in foolish activities. Every young
man who would win must energize himself
by concentration.
Reynolds Brown once drew a little word
picture specially significant to young men
starting out for themselves. Here it is:
ga pile of steel filings and shavings lying
on the floor of foundry may be fine in
quality, they may weigh ton when put upon
the scales, but unOrganized they have little
value.
"Organze and weld them into shaft, at
tach end of the shaft to an engine and
the other to screw propeller and it will
sepd a mighty ocean liner from New York
to Liverpool in five days"
He goes on:
"In like manner mind, heart, soul, is
nothing more than a confused heap OF
thoughts and wishes, impulses and desires,
longings and aspirations until by the power
of purpose all these are brought into unity
and made effective in their thrust toward
some worthy fulfillment."
That is what every young man needs to do
he needs to organize his life.
And he cannot too soon begin the task of
may make life organizing difficult, if not i'm
possible are pretty sure to fasten on him.
The habit of energy waste, the habit of
contentment with the mediocre the habit of
amusement craving, once gripped by these
he is well-nigh doomed AS, since the first
peopling of the world, millions of men have
demonstrated by the futility of their lives.
Always the winners are those who clearly
recognize that life is for accomplishment
of a worth while sort, and, inspired by the
recognition, subordinate everything else to
accomplishment.
They may not win fame, they may not win
wealth. But they are sure to win and hold
self-respect, the esteem of others, self-sstis-
faction, happiness.
And, incidentally, they may into the bar
gain win both fame and wealth.

THE WORLDS FOOD

OF the making of books there is no end
and most Of them are WEAKNESS unto the
flesh and borousness unto the spirit.
The average book review, yea, more than
the average, is entirely useless for the pur-
pose of pointing out to you what books you
want to buy, for the reason that the &C
complished reviewer seems to go upon Ana
tole Frances formula for the lecturer, "Apro-
pos OF Shakespeare and Moliere let us pro-

Sir WaIter's Weed In Georgia.

OIR WALTERS weed, which millions
of men would not part with for the
flowers of Paradise, is fast becoming
one of Georgia's staple crops. Faldosta,
Triton, Douglas, Vidalia, and divers other
towns of the State recently have opened
tobacco markets with extensive preparations
and with the prospect of large receipts
from the surrounding country. At the first
named point is new tobacco warehouse
which a widely travelled authority on such
matters describes as the best he has ever
SEEN" The other centers likewise have TAX
en- pains to provide the highest order OF
facilities for handling the growers product
and assuring him fair returns.
This is at once evidence Of remark
able increase in the output of Georgia to-
bacco and an incentive to more rapid de-
velopment in the seasons ahead. Eleven
years ago the amount of tobacco raised in
this State was so inconsiderable as to re-
ceiye no mention whatsoever in the Cen
sus of 1910. By 1916, however, production
had reached upwards of one and half
million pounds, with value of four hun
dred and fourteen thousand dollars, or
three hundred and eighteen dollars and
sixty cents acre. In 1918 this had an
vanced to two million, six hundred and
sixty-eight thousand pounds, with a value
of one million, three hundred and thirty
four thousand dollars or four hundred and
sixty dollars an acre. Within the last twelve
month this record, striking though it was,
has been dwarfed by new attainments; and
there are observers who forecast that with
in another year or so tobacco will rival
cotton itself as a Georgia money crop.
Certainly the establishment Of ware
houses and markets for handling the prod
uct will encourage and multiply it's grow

made crop Investigation as profitable in
business practice as it is commendable in
agricultural theory. The tobacco markets
and warehouses are an important addition
to these lines Of service, especially at
time when a substitute money-crop for
cotton is in so many districts imperative.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
COMPANY VS.. HOME FOLKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Copyright 1920 by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)

In proof whereof, take exhibit A,
wherewith mcSt of US are all TOO
familiar.
Mrs. x is going to have company,
of house cleaning until everything
shines like new pin. The table IS
immaculate. The dinner cooked to
perfection, for Mrs. K is master
cook when she turns her hand to II.
Mrs. x herself is charming in be-
coming frock.
But, when there is nobody. home
but the family, Mrs. x lets ting
house go at SKIES and sevens; the
table cloth is soiled. and she slams
way on the table. 1t is too much
trouble to put in the dash of pa
prika that turns hash into goulash,
or to give the little touch thar
one, just for home folks. And Mrs.
x herself is frowsy and cross be-
cause she doesn't waste her charm
ing clothes and personality on just
husband and the children.
And Mr., x doesn't treat Mrs. :
as If she were company, either. III
he were dining with Mrs. @ he
would praise Mrs Q's cooking to
the skies, and tell her how beautiful
she was looking, and he would make
himself an agreeable and charming
companion.

dishes his wife may have spent
hours in preparing. He never no
tees how she looks, and he sits up
so silent and glum behind his pa

of a crouch so far as any CONVEX

about as companionable and inter-
esting as the other.
Likewise consider exhibit B. When
Mrs. A meets Mr.. B she puts forth
graces to please him. She listens
with aN @nraptured expression while
he presses along about what he said
to the boss and what the boss said
chestnutty stories that she heard
while still in the cradle. She fiat
ters him and jollies him until he
swells and beams with self-compla-
cency under her manipulations.
But she does not hesitate to yawn
in her husbands face when he
starts recounting his office expert
| ences, nor does she refrain from
telling him that she has heard an
oft-repeated story a million times;
| stabbing his vanity In a thousand
! places.
And Mr.. A pays Mrs. B compli-
ments that make her gurg3e with
delight, while he tells his wife home
truths about her appearance that
cause her to shed bitter tears. Yet
the KS really love each other, and
the AS are devoted to each other

and don't care a rap for the BIS and

And so the little boys conundrum
remains unanswered. Why do wa

we treat our own? Why don't we

If men and women treated each

THE REASON WHY
HOME2


The return of the birds to their
old homes and how they find their
way back to the same spot every
year, to do which they must some
times travel thousand of miles, is
one of the most marvellous things
in nature and has not as yet been
satisfactorily determined. The near
est approach we have to a satisfac-
tory answer to this is that birds do
have a memory, that they can and
do recognize familiar objects, and
that their love for the old home
causes them to fly to the north until
they recognize the landmarks of their
former habitation. In this it is said
that the older birds-those who have
gone that way before-lead the flocks
and shows the way.
There is no doubt that birds hcye
a more perfect instinct of direction
than man. They can follow line of
longitude almost perfectly, i. e., they
can pick out the shorter route by in
stinct, and this is, of course, a
straight line. They just keep on 60
ing until they come to the familiar
place they call home, and then they
stop and build their nests. That it
is not memory and sight of of places
alone that guides the birds is shown
by the fact that some birds when
migrating fly all night, when there
is no light by which to recognize IA
miliar objects.
